A Note from The Virtual Wall According to David Sigler's "Vietnam Battle Chronology" elements of the 1st Cavalry Division engaged the 7th and 9th Battalions, 33rd NVA Regiment, near the hamlet of Cu Nghi about eight miles north of Bong Son in Binh Dinh Province. The bloody fight began on 28 Jan 1966 and continued for three days. Although Sigler says 121 Americans died in the fighting, the casualty database lists 57 hostile-fire deaths in Binh Dinh Province during those three days; of them, 17 were from 2nd Bn, 12th Cavalry. Eight of the 17 were from Sergeant Thomas's Bravo Company 2/12: SSG Jack Johnson, New York, NY SSG Bernard J. Wait, Troy, NY SGT Marvin L.
