A New Photo from The 16th SOS.

This Photo was taken sometime
in early 1972.

Lang is 2nd from the left, all
others still unknown.

These men served with my father at Ubon RAFB, Thailand, 1971-1972. Both photos appear to be
taken on base at one of the Hootches. I have tried to "fix" the photos as they were very dark. Please
Contact us if you have any knowledge of who theses men are.
