A Note from The Virtual Wall The 7th Engineer Battalion and 11th Marines' operations logs for 19 July 1968 contain entries describing the same event. A truck from HQ Battery, 11th Marines struck a mine about 4 kilometers northwest of Dien Ban, injuring several men. As other Marines came to help, one of them detonated a boobytrap. Three Marines died within a five-minute period. They were LCpl Charles F. Rubado, Brasher Fall, NY, H&S Co, 1st Tank Bn; LCpl Vincent Piscar, Greensburg, PA, B Co, 7th Engineers; and Pfc David P.
