Shawn S. writes "This is the best account of a battle in Vietnam that I've ever read," and I have to agree with him.

I remember reading about this action when it happened, soon after I finished my first year of college. Yet, until today I never read about the story in detail.

Almost exactly three and one half years later, I was a brand new Marine lieutenant who would also serve in Viet Nam. Despite my experience in that conflict I still find this story unbelievable.
