It means so much to me – especially since it has been the only reference that I have found on the Internet doing so. Our own American military have given them no public credit whatsoever, these troops that stayed and fought and served long after the all of the ground troops went home in August 1972. But you gave them credit where credit was due. Thank you. May you rest in peace. Ngo, Lieutenant General Quang Truong, The Easter offensive of 1972. Washington DC: U.S. Army Center of Military History, 1980. “In addition to support provided the U.S. Air Force, I Corps forces also received much assistance from the U.S. Army 11th Combat Aviation Group whose activities were closely coordinated with those of ARVN units. This group provided essential support with troop lift logistical support and gunships.” Thank you General Truong for giving credit to the Americans that were there assisting the ARVN in the Battles of Quang Tri during the Easter Offensive until the very end and calling them by name.

At least one NVA T-54 was knocked out on May 15/16th outside of Kontum by the ground TOW. The jeep mounted TOW were actually crewed by elements of the 82nd ABN who were hastily shipped over from Ft Bragg. Only four TOW jeep were assigned to Kontum for that part of "Task Force Salvo." The official 1972 MACV Command History details this fact. I was there and have copies of documents.
