Recall that. I was in Danang at the time. 1968 was a watershed year with the assassinations of MLK and RFK. Tensions were particularly high in Danang after MLK’s assassination. Black US troops held a candlelight memorial on the beach.

So you where there during the TED offensive?

The battle the U.S. Military won, but the Media (Old Walter Kronikite) reported as a total disaster for the U.S?

And I was in port at Vung Tao at the time and had to intervene in an arguement between a black knife-wielding crewman and a white crewman who said MLK's death was good riddance. I was lucky that both still respected officer authority enough to break it it up without it becoming physical with someone getting hurt.
