ARVN Oldest Soldier of the Vietnam War

 

72-year-old South Vietnamese Nguyễn Văn Mới, oldest known platoon leader in Vietnam war,

        Hoa Thuan, South Vietnam 1971. 

I painted a portrait of my Dad (based on an old photograph) - Xuan Loc around 1970

 

My dad when he served in the 18th Infantry Division of the ARVN before April 30, 1975. 

He is in his 90s now and still in good health. He is living with us in Little Saigon, California.

An old photograph of my Dad in Xuan Loc (Long Khanh) around 1970.  In the background, you can see army trucks and artillery. There were actually a lot more vehicles and guns in this location which is near the headquarters of the 18th Logistic Battalion. I used to walk around and check out this site every time my family came to visit my Dad. He was later transferred to the Long Binh Post in 1973 and stationed there until April 1975.
