01 Jan 2006 Mark was very loved and is never forgotten. As a brother, he was admired and emulated. As a son, he was extraordinary and cherished. He was a young man of honor who believed in God and country. He is still loved intensely and we are consoled that he welcomed his father, Bill, and his nephew, Michael, into eternal life with him. Rest in peace, beloved brother. David Anderson daveander8@gmail.com

A Note from The Virtual Wall In the early morning of 07 Jan 1968, a Lima 3/4 platoon began an anti-sniper patrol, trying to root out several snipers who had been firing into the perimeter. An initial success very rapidly became more difficult when the patrol encountered a well dug-in NVA force and the fight developed into an all-day affair. The remainder of Lima 3/4 came to help, and Kilo 3/4 was sent as well. When the Marines broke contact toward sundown, they had killed no fewer than 26 North Vietnamese soldiers - but Lima 3/4 had lost six men, and one of their wounded died the following day: LCpl Richard G. Mangrum, Lynn Haven, FL (Silver Star) LCpl Louis G. Petrone, Morristown, NJ (Silver Star) Pfc William M. Anderson, Opa Locka, FL Pfc Lawrence C. Covington, Jersey City, NJ (DoW 01/08/1968) Pfc David L. Johnson, Columbus, GA Pfc Bobby R. McKinnon, Kosciusko, MS Pfc Donald E. Monkman, Bloomington, IL
