The Marine vs NVA/PAVN Battle of Binh Son I

a.k.a.

"Operation Union I"

Wikipedia can tell you all about this operation!

Fox Company 2/1 Rifle Squads Numbers Two through Nine + Weapons Attachments lost 33 KIA & 56 WIA in a bruising frontal assault against crack dug - in bodoi infantry.

Da*n, but those bodoi were first class fighting men!

Lucky yours truly was in Rifle Squad number One.

Thus, "we're still around..."

In spite of having gone ahead and serving more combat tours! :)
