                A house was constructed by the Montagnards and was to be used as a Med CAP dispensary by HM2 Jacques J. AYD, a corpsman from back at the rear Battalion Aide Station in Dong Ha, who was to provide more advanced medical expertise than I could offer.  J.J. was killed on May 18th, along with several other Corpsmen in Dong Ha when a rocket landed in the trench where they had taken cover. We named the dispensary the "Ayd Station" in his honor. A reporter from Sea Tiger was present at the dedication and they did an article with photo on the opening of the dispensary.
