Much of the entertainment in Vietnam was provided by Filipino house bands; they played mainly in EM and Officer clubs.

Rob, I only saw one USO show the whole tme I was in Vietnam. It was at Vung Tau Rehab hospital.
Pat, do you recall who did the show?
I’m looking for information on a USO entertainer, Judy Larson,. who was with a USO tour that visited Chu Lai in August 1967. I have a photograph of her I want to include in my book on the Seabees.If there was a link to this comment I’d include that photograph./
Did you find her. I met her in Nha Trang in ‘67
