An elderly village resident searches the wreckage of her home in the aftermath of a devastating attack carried out by Viet Cong terrorists. The village, located 17 miles east of Danang, had been targeted because its residents refused to support the Viet Cong and the local Saigon Government. Over 150 civilians, mostly women, children, and elders, lost their lives in the attack. (US Defense Department Photo, June 11, 1970)
