Thank you, General!

To me, personally, this first hand and lucid account by Fox 2/1's former CO is about as fine and balanced a summary as anything Wikipedia has on this battle and Wikipedia's version is overall pretty doggone good, at least in this person's opinion. :)

Anybody can look up Wikipedia's account of Fox Company's role by putting something like Vietnam: Operation Union I" in your favorite search engine.
