Take a ride through what was known to thousands of GIs and Marines as Dogpatch, the village outside the Da Nang Airbase. Past Dogpatch was the Marine Corps Freedom Hill Processing Center and the Freedom Hill PX complex. The old processing center is now the People's Army of Vietnam and the PX area at the bottom of Hill 327, is the site of a gravel and slate mining operation. Thousands of Marines like myself went through the Freedom Hill center first coming In Country and then to Freedom, hence the name.
