I served as a Navy Petty Officer with Marines aboard the USS Tripoli LPH 10 70/71. I was really impressed with them then, I am more so now. You really are a special breed. Blessings to you all! A Marine Battalion against an entire NVA division? I served as a Navy Petty Officer with Marines aboard the USS Tripoli LPH 10 70/71. I was really impressed with them then, I am more so now. You really are a special breed.

He was trying to find someone who knew where the bomb crater out in front of the perimeter was. When I told him we had just come past it, he told me "Good, I'm putting together a patrol to out and get the ALO. He's trapped out there and we need him to call in air support. You're walking point." When we got to the crater, I asked if the ALO was there. There was a guy on the edge of the crater firing a .45. He stopped firing and came down the the bottom of the crater and said he was the ALO and what did I want. I told him he needed to get his gear because they wanted him back at the Battalion HQ to call in air support. He said "OK, but I'm going to finish this magazine first." He then went back up to the edge of the crater and finished off the magazine. I just learned about a year ago that he was Lt. Roath, who also has posted a comment to this article.

My brother told him he wanted to join the military and he just looked at him and said no you don't. He lives in Oregon so we don't get to see him though...

His name was Lance Corp. Patrick McBride, LIMA CO. and he was killed in the battle on September 11,1967 I'm pretty sure he was in VietNam for less than 2 months before he was killed. I know there must be a few people that went there with him from the states, and that knew him from his company. I would like to know how to contact anyone that may have known him. I'm sure he was well known because he had a good personality. If you can help me out with this, please contact me at pdambrosi1950@gmail.com Thank you very much, Patrick D'Ambrosi I ordered the book “LIMA – 6 ” by Colonel R D CAMP WITH ERIC

He was killed in the early part of the fighting. He was a good man, he saved a lot of lives. I was Lt Manzi’s radioman (Mike Co.). He was killed in the early part of the fighting.
