LCPL VAUGHN (H&S Company,attached to my Company) and I were with Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 3rd Marines on Operation Union/Beaver Cage in the Que Son Valley, our 5th night of our first Operation on SLF-A. As we dug in for the night, we were AMBUSHED by the VC and NVA, and a night long Battle followed. LCPL Vaughn met his fate, that night, with Charlie Company sustaining a total of 4-KIA and 20-WIA. May 2nd, 1967 was the first of many TUFF days for us. Hope you continue to RIP and Semper Fi, Don B C//1/3 67-68.
(I am the Web master at www.onethreemarines.com , and we have information there about Our Battalion with some History of Vietnam there. Also, there is a list of the MEN who served in Charlie Company incase you might know or looking for a Marine from C/1/3. Know WE in C/1/3, DO REMEMBER Our Brothers on this WALL! Semper Fidelis and RIP My Brother!)
