Hmmmmmmm.
The social function
following the ceremony. The tall one on the left is Major Casper,
shaking hands with
the Vinh Long Province Chief, Colonel Diep.
When Don sent this
photo to me his comment was,
" I think he is congratulating
me for winning the good looking guy contest."
The one walking is
the old commander of the White Knights and at this time 13th
Avn Bn Executive Officer.
Roger LaCourse has
his back toward the camera and Bob O'Kane
is talking to Roger.
The rest are unidentified.
If you can help identify
these Outlaws please contact the
webmeister.
