Tet Offensive: Battle for Hue

Vietnam  | 3 comments  | Print This Post  | Email This Post

The period of January 31 to February 25, 1968, left a lasting impression on me. I was witness to man’s inhumanity to man in some of the fiercest fighting during the Vietnam War. Amid the pain and suffering, however, I discovered heroism, sacrifice and tremendous courage. I learned about myself during that time, and I also learned to appreciate life.

  2. The first paragraph is not correct. I ran back to the hooch to change. I did not run back to the bunker, because that is where I was for the intial attack. PLEASE correct this …

    I had sent in a written request to correct this passage a few weeks ago and it has not been done.

    Thank you for your help..I know that VIETNAM Magazine likes to get things correct!
