A Note from The Virtual Wall

On 19 April 1967, Charlie 1/9 was under the operational control of the 1st Bn, 4th Marines, conducting local security operations around the Dong Ha Combat Base. Part of those operations included night ambushes, and on the evening of 19 April a squad from Charlie 1/9 set out to man an ambush position. The 1/4 Situation Report for 19 April contains the following entry:

Pfc Gregory Martin was the Marine killed in the firefight between the two ambush patrols.
