LS-36 Na Khang

The "Alamo"

Written by:

This is a story about a place known as Lima Site 36 at Na Khang, Laos, LS-36, during the Indochina War. In this photo, there are two USAF Jolly Green H-3’s Search and Rescue (SAR) helicopters left of center. There are also two fixed wing aircraft center, and it looks like a helicopter off to the right. We all know there was a secret war in Laos that actually started before the war in Vietnam. What many of us do not know much about is the role of these “Lima Sites.” I selected LS-36 as a means to convey their importance.
