Description
During the Vietnam war it was common practice to use empty drums as water containers for G.I. built showers. This painting depicts the one we built in our Di An base camp in 1965, This was also the period of some of the heaviest usage of Agent Orange in defoliating areas for landing strips and security zones. Unfortunately, full instructions for the chemical's use and warnings didn't reach us....

Bob I never knew how this poison was delivered. I do know that we drank it, waded through it and now you tell us we showered in it. I yi yi...no wonder 2/3 of all Vietnam vets are dead....they will never be forgotten
Bob George replied:
Dave, Building showers was one of the first things we did when we arrived in Di An that Oct. 1965. Empty barrels were plenty available since there was major de-foliating going on to clear areas for the air strip. Nobody told us the danger in using these "orange" marked barrels...Later on they did and we replaced them with empty oil barrels. ...choose your poison, huh?
