Sounds to me like he might have been in either Second or Third Platoons, if his people were indeed advancing as the point element, but since I was personally in the famous Left Behind First Platoon Odd Squad, this is all speculation! Thanks for any personal input." Semper fi, Dennis

Thomas J. Holtzclaw III was my uncle. I was only 2 and 1/2 when he was killed but I have all of the letters he wrote home and am publishing them toward the end of this year in a book, "Letters from Tommy J." I can probably answer any of your questions
The book has been published and is in print, "Letters from Tommy J.: A Marine's Story, 1966-1967." The web site is www.lettersfromtommyj.com .
