Robert Byrnes was the Artillery Forward Observer embedded with C Company.
On February 8, 1968, two battalions of the Americal Division formed Task Force Miracle to clear the area just south of the Danang airbase, which had been one of the many places attacked during the Tet offensive. Heavy fighting on February 8 between the 1st Battalion, 6th Infantry and the 2nd NVA Division was continued on February 9 with the 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry becoming engaged. C Company engaged the enemy in the morning and was in a fight for their lives: Pinned down in a rice paddy, they had lost their company commander to injuries and the Artillery Forward observer was killed, and 5 members of the Company were killed. Companies A and D re-enforced C Company, losing 3 Killed in Action in A Company and 5 in D Company.
These actions removed the threat of the 2nd NVA Division to the Danang area. I honor all those who fought, and particularly those who died, for their valor and sacrifice.
Excerpted from “It was just a matter of fate”, as yet unpublished memoirs by 1Lt Roger Mulock, 3rd Platoon, A Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry, 196 Light Infantry Brigade.
