Nguyen Van Nguyen -“Nuoi” -- 14- year old crippled boy took care of our BCompany's base camp. He gave me this 8 X 10 for a Christmas present. TheViet Cong who also reportedly had him on a “hit list” orphaned him. We were preparing to send him to a mechanic's school in Saigon when TET, 1968, hit the fan. I do not know what happened to Nuoi.
