He was a great friend. I was wounded on the 7th and didn't see him after that. I still remember him trying to get me to talk scottish but I'm from Texas and he would burst out laughing at me. Thing is he couldn't talk like a Texan either. Anyway I was in India Company with him from day 1 until Sept, 7th. I served with Scotty. He was a great friend.

We haven't had anyone from India Co submit photos yet but the site is still new and eventually we will. I've had 4 people submit photos from Mike Company and that has let us create a list of almost 50 names of vets who are contained in those pictures. In fact, I had no pictures of myself for 43 years and then found 4 that I was in from the first 2 people that submitted pictures from my old platoon. Keep checking the site or drop me a note sometime at heathkit@bellsouth.net Semper Fi Bill Ward Hi James

I sent him the above outline of what happened but he didn't remember me. Any way, I was also looking for my squad leader Frank Antaya who I mention in the above. He would have been able to verify what I said in my letters. On the Marine Corps Birthday Nov. 10, 2011, Frank's son Tim called me after reading a post I left looking for his father. I was told Frank died of cancer last year. My friend and squad leader will be missed. Semper Fi. Greg Topliff After searching for some 44 years for my skipper, Capt.

This is a very well written account and I would encourage anyone to also get a copy of Eric Hammel's book, "Ambush Valley". For the Marines of 3/26, there is a new website at www.326marines.com for sharing photos and memories of your experiences in Vietnam. You can also listen to the song "Battle of Hill 48" written by Walter Hammond that is about the final battle on September 10th. I was with Mike Company, 3rd Platoon during the Sept 7-10 battle.
