I remember sitting in Vandergrift Combat Base when the word came down that an army airborne unit was getting chewed up trying to take a hill in the Ashau Valley.

The word was that if they didn’t take the hill, we were going back in to do it. I said to myself, “No f……g way am I ever going back into that hellhole”. I went into that valley with a full platoon and came out with 20 men.

Airborne took the hill, suffering tremendous casualties. My regards goes out to them all both living and dead.

An incredible account of fighting by the US Army in Vietnam. I have a great sense of respect for the men who took part in this campaign.

Although some people may disagree, these men were – and are, true heroes.
