Went back to RVN in 2015, and was reminded how beautiful the country is! Hanoi was fascinating, as was the thriving capitalism in Ho Chi Minh City. The Vietnamese are gracious, and bear no apparent ill-will towards Americans. It was a fantastic trip, and I highly recommend it to RVN vets!

Description After 1951, its range served as a US Army training base operated by the 7th Army Training Command in Grafenwöhr, Germany.
Called "The Top of the Rock" the small post was among the most feared and disliked of all training areas due to high altitude and extreme weather conditions. The post was home to tank ranges and artillery ranges in addition to standard training ranging. Additionally, it was one of only a few training sites allowed by the German government to utilize CS gas in training.
