This is Emmett Queen B-1-3 Wpns 1965-66 I was on Operation Orange with this Marine . He was not alone the day he gave his all. Along with him were 16 others who also gave there lives. Along with myself about 40 others were also wounded that day. April 02, 1966. I grieve to this day, and will never forget. I know he is and the others are with GOD God Bless Semper Fi!

Looking Back
You know Sgt. Owens you were with third platoon when they went into the village. Recon told us most of the resistance would come from the hill side and that the village was friendly. They were wrong, we only got token fire from the hills, then the radio calls came in from yours and 2nd platoon for back up in the village. When we came in you guys were taken heat, it was ugly. By the time we fought our way in to you guys, you were already on the wire. They tied a rope around my waist and around L/Cpl Diaz, we crawled out to get you. You were gone, just the body was hung on the wire-we cut it down and tied the rope that wasaround my waist around you. They hauled you in. Sgt. Brown stood up ordering us to move back and gather up. He was hit behind the left ear when he stood. It was the begining of Operation Orange. We will meet again in the final muster, It's taps now . PIt
