My uncle was at Con Thien on an Ontos tank. I don't know what company his was with but he was a sgt. and there for almost two months. Did any of you guys know any tankers?

I was on Con Thien for 52 days with Lima Co 3rd Bn 9th Marines. Operation Bufflo was 2 July

 It was the worst day of my life. Every 2 July I remember, Hell.

@MrPatrickleon We pulled out on Friday, 10/13/67. I was with Golf, 2/3. My hole was at the lowest point, just at the bend of the river.

Welcome Home Bill. My Dad got his Bronze Star on May 8th, '67 there. He was with the 4th at the time.

I hope you can one day dream of gentle boat trips and friendly women.
