Good job, sir. Wish there were more videos like this for smaller, less-known wars. People have forgotten the Indian Wars, the Barbary Wars, War of 1812, Mexican-American War, Spanish-American War, Banana Wars, Urgent Fury, Just Cause, Restore Hope, et cetera...
swflprof, where you there during the operation? If so did you hear any rumors "true tales" about a platoon of Marines who had retaken the radio station on the second night. These Marines fought like hell. The navy dropped percussion bombs on the enemy to save their butts.
Great video and tribute

Well Done Marine. Sorry I wasn't there, was discharged a few months before after eight years (75 - 83).
