I love saving old pictures. Those should never see a trash can. Good for you for saving some very important history.

Nice catch.

We found some Vietnam photos way back in the 70's. We should have left them at the dump. Gruesome beyond belief.

Have a few from my father in law. I think they are from the Korean War. Some grusome photos, but can not toss them out.

Thank the money hungry politicians for esculating a war for no reason except to put money in their pockets.

Sad to see someone's service memories in trash, I'm sure it happens every day though. Thank you for saving this history and sharing with us.

My sentiments, exactly. I have a photo of my grandfather in the 80s wearing his old WWII Navy uniform. When I asked recently what ever happened to that uniform, I was told he threw it away after taking the picture. Probably thought no one would care about it, but I would give a weeks pay to have it in the family.

I was attached to the 452nd Tac Hospital unit at March AFB between '63 and '69. I was an Operating Room technician. I never had the desire to take pics of my work area but I did take pics on two frequent occasions: (1) Those taken of C-119's coming from NAS Alameda while landing and unloading the wounded; and (2) pics taken of B-52s practicing takeoffs,'go arounds', 'touch and gos' and landings. Today I could find similar pics on the internet faster than I could find mine--if I even still have them.

What an incredible find. I'm a brit and we weren't involved but I grew up in those days and always watched the news and TV programmes on the war(and still do) Total respect to all you guys who served your country.

A good save.

I just barely missed being drafted for this war. A lot of my neighbors in the country side went.

My best friend for 30 years of hunting went. I didnt meet him until the early 1980's. He was my best friend and I miss him. Think about him alot.

There's just about nothing left from my years. Two tours, Vietnam AND Cambodia - though there's not anything left from that. I do remember the scorpions though - them danged things had white meat like a lobster!

wow, I would love to sit down with a few beers with guys like you and listen to some of your experiences first hand. Respect.

eyes welled up on this one -

Some people have no sentimental bones in their body , Or maybe theses were images somebody wanted to forget

As for me i'd-a kept them also.

Plane is a de Havilland Otter

 

[Caryl]

And FIL who flew an Otter says it isn't one.

 

[RustyGold]

Thank you all for your service and our freedom. Awesome save!

Sure looks like one.





Although the Otter found ready acceptance in bush airlines, as in a similar scenario to the DHC-2 Beaver, the United States Army soon became the largest operator of the aircraft (184 delivered as the U-1A Otter). Other military users included Australia, Canada, and India, but the primary role of the aircraft as a rugged bush plane continues to this day.

It is an Otter. He thought more about it (brains going due to agent O cancer) he says it's an Otter. He was thinking beaver.
