"OVER THERE"

This photo was taken of me and another 527th MP Sergeant in the Saigon
Zoo. With us are two Quan Canhs or QC, Vietnamese for Military Police.

An MP Sergeant jokes around with a shop owner in Bien Hoa
trying on a "different" kind of MP headgear. The shop owner
would change our helmet liners into MP helmets. You can see
them hanging in the shop ready to be picked up. Guess who just
got back from R&R in Japan. PFC Yates, 300th MP CO,
Pershing Field, Saigon.

Mike Leon and John Schembra were good buddies in the 557th MP CO, Long Binh.
They lost contact with each other for 30 years and were finally reunited. Mike and
John pose today during a visit. Above, Glenn Feezer, 720th MPs, Bear Cat. Below,

These two photos were submitted by Tony Wood, down near the island of Bali. They had pin
holes in them as if they had been pinned on someone's board for awhile and weren't in great
shape with a lot of blemishes. They have been enhanced. Daryl Miller, 560th MPs.

This plaque was dedicated and placed at the American Embassy in Saigon. The plaque is in honor of
the 4 MPs and one USMC trooper that were killed defending the embassy during TET of 1968. When
Saigon fell this plaque went into the hands of the communists. There is action in progress to try to get
this plaque turned over to the rightful owners. PLEASE CLICK ON THE PLAQUE. It will then take
you to a page explaining how you can get involved. Also, if anyone has any photos of the 4 MPs
please contact me as this photos may be necessary to assist in the return of the plaque.
