The Bunkers...


Captain Ward gives the command to attack the entrenched enemy position...


After rescuing the recon platoon, some of our unit moved toward the enemy position. The NVA was entrenched in bunkers in the Nippa Palm area just ahead of us...


Under fire...


Moving forward under fire...


Moving toward the enemy bunkers. Kenneth Olson would give his life here, as he threw himself on a grenade while attacking an enemy bunker...
