Michael and I both lived for a time with our grandparents: Irving and Ann Myers. He was 11 years older than me and I respected him as a hard worker and soldier. I remember his funeral, gun salute and my grandfather's grief. Michael, you are missed. Rev. Wally Plock

A Note from The Virtual WallOperation MASSACHUSETTS STRIKER, a foray by the 101st Airborne Division into the A Shau Valley, began on 01 Mar 1969, but bad weather impeded the build-up. Since the North Vietnamese Army was present in force, there was ample opportunity for contact.The 1/502nd Infantry pursued an enemy battalion through the valley for several weeks until the NVA took a stand atop the ridgeline at Don A Tay. In a series of hard-fought battles, Alpha and Bravo Companies, 1/502, captured the crest of what was now known as "Bloody Ridge". The fighting on 25 March cost 7 American lives from the 1/502nd:
