Row of Tailor Shops and U.S. Army Truck, Vietnamese Town Near Bien Hoa, 1965
A street of tailor shops near a U.S. air base in South Vietnam, 1965. Signs advertising 'Hawaii Tailors,' 'Elegant Tailor,' and similar businesses catering to American servicemen illustrate the local economy that developed around bases like Bien Hoa during the early U.S. military buildup. A parked Army cargo truck underscores the American presence in the area. Project: 218283
