A Note from The Virtual Wall On 28 Feb 1966 Fox and Golf Companies, 2nd Bn, 1st Marines, were conducting a search and destroy operation on the Phu Thu Peninsula in Thua Thien. Fox 2/1 encountered a "heavy contact" which developed into a bitter fight with elements of a VC Main Force battalion. Fox 2/1 had 14 men killed in action before Golf 2/1 flanked the enemy from one direction and an ARVN battalion from another, forcing the VC to scatter and attempt a retreat. Golf 2/1 lost another Marine in the operation. The 15 men were Fox Company: Pfc Roger D. Bulifant, Belleville, MI Cpl Henry C. Casebolt, St Joseph, MO (Navy Cross) Pfc Warren L. Christensen, Hooper, UT Pfc William Fuchs, Milwaukee, WI Cpl Charles Johnson, Batavia, IL Pfc James B. Laird, Davenport, IA LCpl Larry E. MacDonald, Detroit, MI SSgt Edward J.
