RW-M5a.JPGArrival at LZ MontezumaThis is a highly-traveled bridge on Hwy 1 which was essential for the farmers going to market and for our troop movements. The VC kept the engineers busy blowing up Hwy 1 bridges as soon as they were repaired.
{Webmaster note: I was in the same area at the same time. There is an identical photo in my Gallery that I took from a similar angle. Both photos show some identical debris in the foreground. Amazing coincidence.}
