Dong Ha drive draws national attention from Baytown
An AP story reprinted from the Jackson Miss Daily News describes Major Lawrence Cummings and Baytown's aid drive for Dong Ha South Viet Nam. The Little Alamo camp outside Hanoi houses 200000 sandbags and braces against air strikes while rousing local volunteers. Cummings reports North Vietnamese danger and pride in the soldiers. Airman James H. Schneider recalls a mortar attack as villagers receive food clothing and medicine from nearby helpers. Mario's Pizza Palace bunker sign and mortars’ humor note the stark camp life while Cummings recruits Vietnamese orphans for care.
