Was in the battle, he was killed
234, E., 81, St., Apt., A, NY., NY., 10028, USA
Remembered, after 38, years
The water run ambush. Some, of us went, from Vietnan to Okinawa, to refurbish. With others, returned, to Vietnam as Battalion, Landing Team, (BLT-1/3) 1st., Batn., 3rd, Marine Regiment. (FMF) Our fleet ship, was the USS., Okinawa, a helicopter carrier, to do heliborne assaults, against the N., Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces. On the 28th, April 1967, we were helolifted, into the Que Son, Valley, (Quang Tin, Prov.) to sweep northwest, of the village. We humped for days, contact, with the enemy was increasing. On May 3, 1967, after a very hot day, of search, we called off the day. It was, Operation, Beaver Cage-Union. In need of drinking water, a water run was organized, out, of company "A," guys, who proceeded to pick up, everyone, else's canteens and hoisted, them on belts, to carry, as many as possible, to the creek. So many, that they were even told, not, to bring their weapons. We had made the mistake, of setting up, camp, in a flat area lower, than some nearby hills. Unknowingly, to us, the enemy was spying, from the higher ground. The water run, left and we kept digging, for the night. Shortly afterwards, heavy automatic and small, arms fire erupted. Since there had been, no prior scouting, the water run, was easily ambushed. Everybody was called, to commit and the battle lasted, until past midnight. Artillery and gunship fire was needed, to suppress the cunning enemy. 14, Marine brothers, were killed, that night including this hero. Some, of the bodies, we could not retrieve, until the next day. As Shore Party man, I loaded most of the bodies, into the choppers. 38, years later, I want to Memorialize all, of them and tell their loved ones, what happened. As for me, sometime later on the evening, of June 13, 1967, I lost part, of my right leg, to a booby trap, during the first day, of Operation Choctaw. God Bless you, all brothers. I still love and remember, you all. Semper Fi, Antonio R. Ramos.

Was there, that day
234, E., 81, St., Apt., A, New York, NY., 10028, USA
39, years and still, with me
I was there, 39, years ago, when the water run, was sent out and ambushed and later, 2, groups, were sent out and they, unknowingly started shooting, at each other. You did your part, the captain, failed misserably and it hurts, up, to this date. God Bless you and rest in peace. Semper Fi! Antonio
