16 Recently Discovered Pics From Vietnam That Netizens Can’t Look Away From
A thrift shop is a place where you can find a lot more than your grandad’s clothes, no matter what the lyrics of that one Macklemore song say. In fact, there you can come across anything! As long as it’s legal.
And by anything, we mean anything. For example, one Redditor found a slide film with old US Navy pictures from Vietnam. He got them developed, scanned, and, in hopes of digging up as much info on them as possible, posted them online. Scroll down to see what was on that film!

I’m not sure why these slides popped up here a year after they were originally posted, but I know the location of many of the pics, as I was there! Most were taken at a location we called “Monkey Mountain”, which was at the entry of Da Nang Harbor. Many local military would drive up or hike up “our” mountain to photo the view from the top of the mountain, rising up some 3,600 feet out of the water, in the local community SanTra. I also have many slides of the mountain, since that was where I was stationed. The large rock with the paint on it was what we named “Boom Boom” rock, right outside the radio hut that I worked in!
I totally forgot about slides! That was the form most of my folks’ photos kept when I was a kid. It seems like SUCH a painful way to store photos. Didn’t help that we lived on a flood plain and my folks kept their old photos in the cellar. 😕 I suddenly appreciate the ease with which we take photos every day! I can’t imagine trying to keep track of spots on my back with slide film!
