Just in Manilla overnight. Flight to Ho Chi Minh City as 12:30 p.m. the next day. Google says it's 30 minutes from the airport. I thought I'd try to be there when the doors open at 9 a.m. My uncle is memorialized there. I simply want to get a photo next to his name. Is it realistic for me to do that and catch my 12:30 to Saigon if I'm there when the doors open at 9? Also, does every soldier whose name is listed on the memorial also have a head stone? My uncle was MIA. His name is in the center memorial ... just wondered if those men have a nameless headstone also, or maybe not?

CHARLES A: Is there a way I could have the contact information for your driver? Do you pay US dollars at entrance to the Memorial.
Hi! I did not know it was mandatory to have a guided tour. We used to just walk in. Do you need to book ahead of time? Many thanks! Tina
A:
There's no need for a guided tour and no need to book ahead, just visit during business hours 8am to 5pm as the War Memorial is essentially an American Mission, like a consulate.
1) Can I go there at night time? The Cemetery hours are: Sunday#TAB# 9AM–5PM Monday#TAB# 9AM–5PM Tuesday#TAB# 9AM–5PM Wednesday 9AM–5PM Thursday#TAB# 9AM–5PM Friday#TAB# 9AM–5PM Saturday#TAB# 9AM–5PM 2) Does rain prevent a visit? Except for the small chapel, the cemetery lacks covering. Visiting in the rain may be unpleasant without an umbrella and appropriate clothing.
