The Walking Dead is what 1/9 was known as, especially Bravo Company. On 7/2/67 they walked into the ultimate ambush and lost all their officers, all their Corpsmen and all of their NCOs but one. They told us to saddle up. We were supposed to be helicoptered in to help them. Our CO told HQ that four choppers was all we would need. Barely a month before, we took a stroll up Hill 881S. Over half of us didn't come back.
