Lance Corporal United States Marine Corps.
I Company 3rd Battalion 3rd Marine Regiment 3rd Marine Div.
During the period 09-11 Sep 1968 the 3rd Marines were tasked with clearing the North Vietnamese Army from Mutter's Ridge and the Cam Lo River Valley which ran along the southwest side of the ridgeline. The 1st and 2nd Battalions drew the ridge line and its northeastern slopes, while the 3rd Battalion swept the river valley. The 3/3 Command Chronology for September notes they were opposed by well-trained, well-equipped, and well-dug-in NVA troops and accounts for eight Marines killed in the fighting. One wounded Marine died after evacuation, raising the toll to ten men.
