Subject: Company C Action Report 31 October 1965

Looking for information regarding Company C on or about 31 October 1965 where my late father was wounded in action with Charlie. Story that I received was that his company was just inland from the beach; Charlie came up from the beach, searching for a CP. His company was between the two and as a result, from what I've been told, Charlie "waltzed" through the company, annilhating 2/3 of the company. A patrol found my father 2-3 days later suffering from shock. He was subsequently transferred back to Fort Sam Houston and eventually retired in 1968. From the records that I have of his service record, it shows that he was attached to the 92nd Engineer Battalion and apparently either was transferred to the 864th. I need to know the true story of the incident for our family military history.
