Great story old Marine. I too was with 2/26 in 1967-68, I was a squad leader in 81mm, and often had line company commanders request me and my 81 team. I was still in country during the siege of Khe Sahn, and we controlled the mountain range north of the base, so the NVA had to come thru us before they could get to the base. Before we went to Khe Sahn we spent some time in Phu Bei rebuilding our Bn. after having been in a major battle close to the DMZ. I mention those places to you so you will have a reference point to help determine if we might have been with 2/26 at the same time.
I agree with you, the way things are going it looks like the country may need us old farts again, and as long as I can squeeze a trigger, I will be there. Semper Fi Brother.
The Few and The Proud 2/26
Ray – Great story!! From a fellow “Twenty Sixer” alumni, but I was long gone before Khe Sahn. Semper Fi!!!
