Larry, 37 years ago this day you made the ultimate sacrifice for your country and your fellow Marines. That day the battle raged on from daybreak until well after sundown. I have never forgotten nor have any of your Mike Company brothers and will always remember you and the others from 2nd Platoon who died that day. Thank you for your service to our country and Corps. We pray that your loved ones are blessed with the peace only God can give and that someday we will all be together again in our Father's home where you and others reside today. Semper Fi.

BLT 3/1 provided an amphibious and airmobile ready reserve force for the 3rd Marine Amphibious Force and found themselves heavily committed during the TET 68 offensive.During operations ashore between 25 Jan and 08 Feb 1968, the 3/1 Marines lost at least 42 men; of these, not less than thirteen were Mike Company casualties:
