Battalion Landing Team (BLT) 1/7 was supposed to land on 13 August 1965 but our mail address was "Marine 13" and the Colonel would not land a "Marine 13" on Friday the 13th so we went ashore on 14 August. Our designation was changed from BLT 1/7 to 1st Bn, 7th Marines, 4th Brigade, but we were then assigned to the 3rd Marine Division. SEMPER FIDELIS He was one of eleven Charlie 1/7 Marines killed in action during Operation INDIANA. VirtualWall Note: On arrival of the 1st Marine Division, the 7th Marines were reassigned to 1st MarDiv.

A memorial from a fellow 1/7 Marine, who wishes to remain anonymous. E-Mail may be forwarded via the Webmaster@VirtualWall.org 21 Sep 2001
