Branch of Service or Civilian: USN

Unit Served in Viet Nam, If Any: C/1/1, 1st ALVTs, H&S 1/11

Comments:
To be up front about my association with Khe Sanh, I was not involved in the seige as I came in country on July 1st, 1968. I served as a Corpsman with C/1/1 on Hill 689 in early July 1968. The experience on the Hill was short-lived but intense.
I ended up being wounded just southeast of A-3 near Con Thien in late August of '68.
Returned to VietNam in late December of '68 and was able to see some of my guys because 1/1 had moved south of Danang.
Prayers and Remembrances to all who honored me with their friendship during that difficult time. I think of all of you often. JMH

Branch of Service or Civilian: USMC(Ret.)

Unit Served in Viet Nam, If Any: Echo Company, 2nd Bn, 3rd Marines

Comments:
In the Fall issue of "Red Clay" in the photo shot there are indications that Golf Company, 2nd Bn, 3rd Marines was on Hill 881 North during the Hill Fights. That is incorrect. Echo Company is the Company that siezed and secured the backside of Hill 881 on 30 April 1967. Echo Company assaulted the Main Hill on 2 May but was pulled off of it because of control problems . Echo Company again assaulted and secured The big Hill on 4 May 1967 along with Foxtrot Company. Golf Company's objective was Hill 861, southeast of Hill 881 North and was never, I say again NEVER on Hill 881 and neither was Hotel who claim to be..........I was the Platoon Commander of Second Platoon of Echo Company during that time. My Platoon was the leading element of both assaults on Hill 881 North.....The book "The Hill Fights" is full of distortions because the author allowed himself to be influenced by wannabes. Who ever published these photos indicating that Golf Company was on Hill 881 North is wrong.
