When my wife and I were in Vietnam, after the cease fire in 1972, we got two white elephants. When things were difficult in 1975 we packed them up and mailed them home. We sat in the Post office part of the embassy for two hours or so to mail them, then went back to Bien Hoa north of the city. They were known as BUFE's and lots of people got them. But we still have them. Just tell me how to attach a picture and I will send it. I had a list of all the stuff I wanted to bring back from Vietnam, and although our household stuff did not leave Vietnam until August that year, diplomacy got them back to us in Texas; end tables and all and even a few cans of tuna which were good in graduate school.
