Vietnamese Hillside Village or Town, December 1969

A Vietnamese hillside town photographed in December 1969 by USAF veteran Don Engebretsen. Scenes like this one, taken near American air bases, offer a glimpse of everyday civilian life amid the ongoing war - a reminder that the conflict unfolded not just in the skies and jungles, but in the towns and neighborhoods where Vietnamese families lived, worked, and endured.
