My guess is no. The Vietnamese were very good at scavenging anything useful that was left after the war, and vegetation in the region grows very aggressively. In 2006, my father and I returned to one of his former homes, LZ English, and found almost no trace that it had ever existed. All that was left of a base that was once home to 5,000 men were some patches of asphalt. The landing strip was perfectly intact, however. We looked for a fire base in the region that had provided support to English, but we had no luck, not even with a local guide. If you read narratives by American veterans who have gone back, they all remark on how strange it is that everything we poured into Vietnam could have disappeared so completely.
