Personal Memories
People You Remember Called on to defend the US Air Force Base at Ton Son Nhut. Charlie Troop 3/4 Cav, minus one platoon responded early in the morning of 31 January 1968 and were immeditly engaged by a very large VC unit attacking the Base. Shortly thereafter, we (B Troop) we also tasked to respond and after traveling about 40 miles we arrived at the scene and went on-line and then attacked the VC which was in the open and the fighting was quickly becoming a turkey shoot for us.
