Finally made it to Dong Ha, Vietnam.

Hi all,

We finally arrived in Dong Ha yesterday. We had a really nice welcome dinner last night. 

Below you can see a local billboard warning everybody about UXO (unexploded ordinance) left over since the American Conflict in Vietnam. Dong Ha is located in the Quang Tri province that had the most amount of bombs dropped on the area. I saw some pictures today at the Landmine Awareness Center that show recent footage of victims as early as the fall of 2003. Here we are also planting trees to help reforest the devastated landscape. We planted 500 trees this morning and will be going back to plant another 300 this afternoon. It was hella hot, but yet very rewarding! I love this type of stuff!

 

.Below I have included some pictures of UXO.
