Gia Vuc - Ba
Vi 2010
This page has been
brought to you thanks to Capt Ed Garr who has been to Gia
Vuc several times during 2009/10.
Gia Vuc since the Vietnam war has been renamed
twice,
quite unsure why, but we understand this is a
"Revolution Thing"!
The first time as Go Van and the second and final
time as Ba Vi
Ed went
twice there with regard to the preparation of a film/documentary
on Marine air support during a VC/NVA attack on
Gia Vuc A-camp on the 19th of March 1967. The film director is the son of a Marine
Phantom back seater involved in the air support on that
day.
Local VC, NVA
and Montagnards involved in the firefight were
interviewed.
A few more details on the attack is on the "19
March 1967" web page, see link on your left

"Almost all of our former auxiliary
grass strips were changed into roads because they were
straight and
went some where.
The area is very much under
populated with little or no small
pleasures/entertainment other then the locals getting
drunk on home made vodka and enjoying illegal cock
fights."
Ed's Marine Battalion Operated just a little
east and North of Gia Vuc in Jan
66.
Ed was based in Dec 65 in Mo Duc and Jan 66 in Duc Pho
