The hold of the troop ship USS Geiger showing how soldiers were 'stored' during the three week sailing from Oakland, California to the port of Vung Tau, Republic of Vietnam.
Former artillery officer Christopher Gaynor, now 70, took the images in 1967 and 1968 while deployed.
They stayed hidden away for more than 40 years before he reopened them and relived old memories.

These candid images show life on the front lines of the Vietnam war through the eyes of a young soldier, who rediscovered the collection decades after the conflict ended.
In the images by former artillery officer Christopher Gaynor, helicopters swoop down in high-risk troop deployments, convoys rumble through the booby-trapped countryside and infantrymen make tense dawn patrols.
Gaynor, now 70, spent more than a year in Vietnam between 1967 and 1968, taking photographs as he went. As well as showing scenes of battle-ready soldiers and equipment, he also showed his war buddies in their down time.
Images, which Gaynor shares on his Facebook page, show fellow soldiers relaxing between missions, and even playing a baseball game at Dau Tieng base camp.
Gaynor notes that several of the young men he pictured were killed in action not long after. He told TIME magazine that the thought of being reminded of his war days led to him keeping the photos locked away until 2007 - nearly 40 years after his deployment.
Of looking back on them for the first time, he said: 'I looked at them and they all came alive again. It was completely overwhelming. All my buddies from 40 years previously [were] looking at me from these pictures, even the guys who weren’t with us anymore.
'Looking at the pictures put me right back into the jungle as if I were a 21-year-old soldier again.'
The experience also kindled a desire to start reconnecting with old Vietnam comrades and working with veterans, and also to become a consultant for In Country, a re-enactment film about the war.

KOR-dee-uh -- named for Valerius Cordus, 16th century German botanist
seb-ess-TAY-nuh -- derived from the Persian sapistan, the name of an allied species grown round the town of Sebesta
commonly known as: aloe wood, geranium tree , largeleaf geigertree, orange geiger tree, scarlet cordia, sea trumpet, sebesten plum tree, Spanish cordia, Texas olive, ziricote

... a small tree upto 25 feet, or garden shrub, but in its home forests it reaches 40 or 50 feet.
Small or tall, it always has a short crooked trunk, wide in comparison with the height. The bark is brown and ridged.
In India, the fruits of local species are used as a vegetable, raw, cooked, or pickled, and are known by many names, including lasora in Hindi.

"Born on: 24 November 1907 in Süssen
Died on: 13 June 1996 in Bad Überkingen
Friedrich Geiger was a remarkable person in many respects. Until 1975 he was the first head of the styling department, as the design unit was then called. And he was not only a masterly craftsman and engineer in this function, but also a gifted artist. But it was typical of the man that during his active working life his ability to paint beautiful watercolours remained virtually unknown. Exceedingly modest and reserved, Geiger was always happy to let others take the limelight.
Born at Süssen on the edge of the Swabian Alb on 24 November 1907, Friedrich Geiger first learned the coach maker’s trade before studying coach design. Given that most bodies at the time consisted of a wooden auxiliary frame planked with sheet metal, this was a logical and consistent career path. On 10 April 1933, Geiger then joined the special coachbuilding department at the Sindelfingen factory of Daimler-Benz AG, led by Hermann Ahrens. Here, too, this bodybuilding approach was practised, also for the individual creations which the customers had mounted on a chassis. All-steel bodies were not introduced by Daimler-Benz until 1938 in the Mercedes-Benz 230 (W 153 series). At the special coachbuilding department, Geiger was able to convincingly demonstrate his double talents both as engineer and a person with a sense of aesthetics and proportion. For instance, the body of the Special Roadster version of the famous 500 K/540 K models (W 29) is Geiger’s work. Specially armoured saloons for the Grand Mercedes (W 07 and W 150) and the 540 K also originated on his drawing board.
Geiger’s time of greatness began after the Second World War, in the 1950s, when he built up and managed the styling department of Karl Wilfert’s body testing unit in Sindelfingen. Werner Breitschwerdt, future chief engineer and Chairman of the Board, thought very highly of Geiger in retrospect on account of his creativity, inspirational power and ability to take a broader view, while Karl Wilfert, ever the artist, was more the visionary engineer and driving force for passive safety.
Geiger was a man of iron discipline and rigour – qualities that resulted in his being perceived in different ways. His self-discipline included a daily one-hour swim at the mineral spa in Bad Cannstatt before going to the office. Work in Sindelfingen began at 7 a.m.
A major, if not his most important, achievement was the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (W 198), the famed Gullwing, presented in New York in 1954. Only a year later, Geiger was designing the first bodies for the future 300 SL Roadster, introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1957. His design for the luxury car of the W 111 series beat studies submitted by colleagues Hermann Ahrens and Walter Häcker. He succeeded in producing a design of timeless elegance in the coupé variant of the 220 SE and 300 SE models (W 111/W 112), which was initially presented in 1961 as the 220 SE. In its formal finality, this Coupé attained a great significance in Geiger’s creative work. The Mercedes-Benz 600 (W 100) with its angular, restrained design idiom was also his work. The heavy use of chrome was more to the taste of the Board of Management members responsible for development, Fritz Nallinger and – later – Hans Scherenberg. But the composed and clear lines of the luxury vehicles of the W 108/109 series and the upper-intermediate range W 114/115 series also reveal his determining influence. Geiger was especially proud of the Coupé of the W 114 series, a car he himself drove for many years.
The body of the Mercedes-Benz 230 SL (W 113), the successor to the 190 SL (W 121 I), also took shape under his direction, while the “pagoda” roof was championed by the engineering duo of Béla Barényi and Karl Wilfert and its design realised by Paul Bracq. Prominent Geiger creations include other classic cars of today, notably both the SL and SLC models of the R/C 107 series and the W 116-series S-Class along with the E-Class predecessor W 123. One characteristic feature of the SL of the R 107 series is the logical mirroring of the concave roof shape in the rear boot lid – this too a Geiger creation which, as Breitschwerdt recalled, resulted in a few problems at the time. For the body manufacturing process did not make it easy to mould concave boot lids.
When Friedrich Geiger retired on 31 December 1973, he could claim to have decisively shaped and influenced the formal vocabulary of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars over four decades – and in particular the design idiom of the SL models built up to that time. Geiger died at Bad Überkingen on 13 June 1996."

Kate's worn stilettos, Madonna's worn them, Marilyn and Brigitte both definitely wore them. Imelda could have drowned in the number of pairs she owned. Men love them, women adore them. And if they don't just now, they've simply not found the right pair yet.

Craig Shipp wearing Lucchese Alligator boots that were made in the original San Antonio, TX factory. Bills Khakis, Willis & Geiger safari shirt, Grand Seiko SBGY002, FOPE bracelet and Stetson fedora. Also see: www.areaguides.com/lucchese-boots-usa
Here are some quality clothing brands that will survive the test of time. Yes, if you look, you can find quality clothing items that are made in USA, England, India and Japan. You can skip Chinese made junk! In some cases you may need to buy pre-owned because many once great brands have sold out quality for profits. The good news is there are great deals to be found by buying vintage old school quality on eBay. See lots of brand names to search for at: www.flickr.com/photos/areaguides/albums/72157673043917817
