Mark was very loved and is never forgotten. As a brother, he was admired and emulated. As a son, he was extraordinary and cherished. He was a young man of honor who believed in God and country. He is still loved intensely and we are consoled that he welcomed his father, Bill, and his nephew, Michael, into eternal life with him. Rest in peace, beloved brother.

The remainder of Lima 3/4 came to help, and Kilo 3/4 was sent as well. When the Marines broke contact toward sundown, they had killed no fewer than 26 North Vietnamese soldiers - but Lima 3/4 had lost six men, and one of their wounded died the following day:
