Willie, I was with you and SSG John Thibeault on that fateful day. I have not forgotten you and John. May God comfort your souls on this Memorial day of 2005.

A Note from The Virtual WallOn 05 Dec 1965, during Operation BUSHMASTER II, the 2/2nd Inf became heavily engaged with an estimated VC regiment. They were supported by A/2/33rd Arty and reinforced by 2/28th Infantry. During what became known as the battle of Ap Nha Mat, the US units killed 301 VC, captured many weapons, and destroyed a main camp ... but there were 38 dead and 3 MIA from the 2/2 Infantry, and a Forward Observer from A/2/33 Arty also was killed in action. |
