In 1971, Mel Schenck, fresh out of University,  joined the Naval Civil Engineer Corps as a naval officer and volunteered to manage construction contracts in Vietnam. One of the projects he administered was the La Nga River Bridge between Saigon and Dalat. After 34 years, Mel revisits the bridge and posts some pictures of the original and the current structure.
