General Note
3 August 1969 Box Bridge defensive position, approx. 11 km N.E. of Saigon. A soldier with Hq. Sec., 'B' Troop, 1/17th Cav., 82nd Abn. Division shares a moment with a dog that was his pet. Often dogs were the only native Vietnamese that U.S. soldiers actually made friends with while in-country. This photo is part of a series of images I recorded that day with my own camera. The military was often more interested with pictures of how the gear worked. I was there that day to document the use of barbed tape at a defensive position. Photo by SP5 Bryan K. Grigsby
