The Snapshots in Time Collection
Beach Scene with Servicemen and Civilians, Likely Vung Tau, South Vietnam, June 1971
A June 1971 beach snapshot likely taken at Vung Tau, South Vietnam, a coastal city that served as a popular in-country rest and recreation (R&R) site for American servicemen during the Vietnam War. Small groups of figures relax and walk along the shoreline beneath a wide open sky, illustrating the brief respites from combat duty that R&R destinations like Vung Tau provided. Project: 218684
