I hope you see this message. I am married to someone from Vinh Linh Special Zone in northern Quang Tri -- family moved to La Vang (near Quang Tri city) in 1960. They were ARVN-affiliated Catholics.
Can you tell us about your experiences in the province? I am not sure where the Bia Long Valley is (perhaps A Bia region now?), but I am assuming you were closer to Khe Sanh/Laotian border.
What were your experiences of people who stayed in the area? My understanding from visiting the area is that after 1968 (and definitely after 1972), most areas around Quang Tri City/Citadel were totally absent of civilians. Any insight on the day-to-day would be interesting.

Also, have you been back since 1975?
Thanks!
