For my big brother, Curtis. Mom and Dad are gone now, but your passing was my first taste of death. I remember when I turned 18 I thought out loud, Mom sitting nearby; "What if this were all of life allotted to me?" Mom immediately knew that I was talking about your shortened time here on earth. Dad was sad until the day he died, at losing you. I have all of the old photos, Jamie has the flag that brought you home. I will hold onto my memories of you til the light in my eyes also dims.

Observation posts were established around the area as the Marines searched for NVA positions. At 0955 a Lima Company OP was attacked by NVA soldiers, killing one Marine and wounding another. Pfc Charles Crow was killed in the action. |
