Former Viet Cong Chief Leads Hoa Khanh Hamlet
Hgo Dinh Chi, once a Viet Cong tax collector, is now the elected head of Hoa Khanh, a Chieu Hoi hamlet near Da Nang. The community, open to RVN amnesty since December 1967, hosts over 100 returnees building homes and finding work with help from RVN government funds and U.S. Civil Affairs. Some former VC members work with Armed Propaganda Teams to encourage others to cooperate. Marine units aid the transition, including a Seabee-built medical station and two former VC medics. Aditor Butt-plate the mutt saves Marines from an ambush, while combat correspondent Jeff Ault in Hue is briefly struck by a bullet but survives.
