Below are a few candid photos which were taken of CAPT John Gergulis, our first Commanding Officer in Vietnam. Although he is reluctant to enjoy the attention and adulation implied by the posting of his photos, the recording of Delta history compels us to do so. Some of these photos also reflect his second tour in Vietnam where he was an advisor to the ARVN
