Against all odds 23 marines fighting hand to hand and in a fierce firefight with 300 nva, were able to beat them back killing over 100 VC , Marines lost 10. But not before a dear friend of mine lost his life, but he took 4 with him in hand to hand combat. Rest in peace Lester. I wear a tattoo in his memory. Mike Company 3/7 was the most decorated marine company in the Vietnam war.
