That’s where I was ‘71,bet he wasn’t far from us.
They really saved a lot of GI’s...we were surrounded a lot there.
298th Signal..Quang Tri. We were up on that hill above
the airstrip at Khe Sahn with all the antennas
He was with 3rd battalion, 26th Marines. I joined 3/26 right after they left Khe Sanh to become a Battalion Landing Team (BLT) operating off an amphibious group.
Y’all did a magnificent job at Khe Sanh. In March of ‘69, we’d hear Hanoi Hannah say “You Marines of Lima Co., 3rd battalion, 26th Marines will pay for your crimes at Khe Sanh!” then she go on to say that so-and-so’s girlfriend was sleeping with his best buddy, and she’d get all the names correct. The guy she named was sitting right across from me, hearing this. Weird! Must have been a lost mailbag or some hippie in his hometown feeding info. He swore that he burned his letters after reading.
