A sign nearby shows that he is serving with E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, the same company that during WWII inspired 'Band of Brothers'.Some of the photos include him in an Airborne Beret with a Lemon grenade and machete with fighting knife in his mouth, him firing mortars, holding an M16 in one hand and a Playboy in the other, a helicopter, some 101st locations, him with friends, a barrel labeled 'Co E Trash', him firing an M60 machine gun 'Ma Deuce', some landscape photos, a couple of dogs, and an enormous snake that someone had cut up.The album was made in Japan by KND, and the front cover depicts a map of Vietnam with a homemade shelter under the textMEMORY OF SOUTH VIET-NAM. The album measures 10 x 11 ½' and there is also a Northwest Orient plane ticket sleeve inside, man what a blast from the past!Ready for further research and display!Shipping RestrictionsThis product is available for international shipping.Payment OptionsEligible for all payments - Visa, Mastercard, Discover, AMEX, Paypal & Sezzle
