To The Rescue... |
|
|
|
| The
order was given for our unit to rescue the recon platoon. We were
Company A, 5th Battalion, 12th Infantry, 199th Light Infantry Brigade,
commanded by Captain Robert E. Ward. Most of us had trained together at
Fort Lewis, Washington prior to deploying to Vietnam in April... |
|
We departed that morning, riding on APCs with D Troop, 17th Cavalry to the Binh Dien Bridge
|
 |
|
Arriving
at the Binh Dien Bridge, we walked through a small village to board
three RAG boats. A few of us remarked that something seemed strange
about the villagers that morning...
