A Note from The Virtual Wall On the night of 21-22 Nov 1965 two ARVN units near Thach Tru were hit by NVA/VC attacks and the 2nd ARVN Division requested a Marine sweep in the area in hopes of bringing the NVA/VC to bay. The 3rd Bn, 7th Marines were alerted and on the morning of 23 Nov air-assaulted into the area. After a two-day sweep which located and destroyed a number of enemy supply points, but which failed to locate the enemy forces themselves, the Marines were withdrawn. The operation did cost the lives of two Marines: VMO-6, MAG-36, 1ST MAW 1stLt Glenn D. Mann, Williamsburg, VA L Co, 3rd Bn, 7th Marines SSgt David G. Benavente, Dededo, Guam
