Don’t know or remember. I wasn’t in the Nam.

I’m pretty sure we have a FReeper or two that was in Khe San.

Khe San was a firebase on a small hill (compared to mountains around it. but some distance away)at the end of a row of interlocking firebases. They were hammered for days by a larger force. One of the problems was that the road was lousy and reinforcements could not get there fast enough. The NVA was swatting helos from the sky like flies on a porch in the South. The Military Channel runs a great step by step show on it about every six months.
