PictureThe 194th MP Company veterans and several Signal Corps units should recognize Vung Chua in the background. Where a tank farm used to be is now occupied by this modern commercial enterprise.
Those GIs in the Central Highlands of Vietnam during the American war, who might have been hospitalized in the military hospital in Quy Nhon or went to the PX, may recognize the spur on the slope leading to the peak of Vung Chua. Now at its base is a shopping center  of small stores, a supermarket, and food stalls created by a UK investment firm. It's a step tnto modernization, but the downtown had some stores close because of it.
