Photo #11218
Catholic Orphanage near Phu Bai

Both Marines and Army adopted this orphanage and we would visit periodicallly to hand out goodies, and to do P.R. I have heard unsubstantiated claims that, after the fall of South Viet, the NVA destroyed the orphanage and many if not all were killed. If anyone has the facts, please post.

I lived with Advisory Team 5 while I was in Phu Bai and this orphanage was one of our pet projects. I think that we all gave support to it. I too, would like to know more of what happened to it after we left.
