General Note
CHU LAI, Vietnam (Americal IO)--Dust kicked up by a landing helicopter sullies the post-dawn mists of An Tan village, one mile north of Chu Lai. As men of the Americal Division's 26th Engineer Battalion construct a Bailey Bridge on the south end to close the gap caused by Viet Cong sappers, the far side of the old bridge serves as a landing pad for officials assesing the damage.
