I served with 2/4 Marines… part of the first RLT that went
ashore at Chu Lai… 1965… Our American flag ordered down by a
General… He said we were guest of the Country…
I have a picture of a flag that 2/4 Marines flew this flag was put up
when word the general was flying in to meet with the battalion
commanders at 2/4 preparing for Operation Starlite. If you know
the history, it was the first encounter with the NVA regular
Army… historical and may have the only original picture that
has surfaced… After Starlite even the general would not tell
us to take it down.
thanks William ( Stubby ) Ralston…
