Con Thien Base Camp & The Battle For Con Thien

Done some reseach on Con Thein, it was a really bad place on one day they received 1200 artillery rounds from the PAVN. There was also a month were the marines took 1000 casualties.

Remembering today on his anniversary Cpl Joey Barillo KIA Con Thien 6/7/1967

was there during operation prairie 4 - April to May 1967. on 5-8-67 when we got hit by 2 regiments of NVA regulars against an understrength Marine company (2nd platoon on ambush). Not a nice way to wake up at 3:00 am

DeltaGrunt - Glad to see you're still kickin -That was indeed a nasty wakeup and a long, long morning. I don't think we got the last of them that were inside the wire until nearly 0900. It was a sad, sad mornng as we loaded all the KIAs and WIAs on the steady stream of helos that came in. Thank God you had just received M-16s and everyone had extra ammo that night. Delta did good! Real good! Jack the FAC

Your father was my senior drill instructor at MCRD Sept. 66. platoon 2219. I think of him all the time. He was a great Marine, you should be very proud of him. I am now 61 years old and I have enjoyed a wonderful life,Your dads sacrifice will never be forgotten.
