28 Feb 2007 Michael, you were proud to be a Marine, even prouder to be a grunt. The 2nd Platoon carried the fight that day... From a fellow Marine, Wayne M Clark nobby@isp.com

A Note from The Virtual Wall On 18 June 1967 Battalion Landing Team 2/3 conducted an amphibious and airborne assault on the northern end of a barrier island about 10 kilometers southeast of Hoi An. Although the initial landings were unopposed, at noontime Hotel 2/3 engaged an enemy force of some 100 men. The enemy troops held their positions through the afternoon until forced from them by the combined efforts of Hotel 2/3 and Fox 2/3.
