A lot of wonderful young men never got out of that valley alive. I think about them a lot as I'm sure many others do, too.

I have an interest in finding out more about a specific firefight that took place on 3MAR69 in Plei Trap Valley. This particular firefight involved A-3-8, 4th I.D. My brother was in A-3-8, he recieved the Silver Star posthumously for his actions that day. I have the after action report but still have some questions, might you have something you could add? Joe Coll

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: 1969 March Author: Steve Nelson [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01:38:43 09/26/01 Wed March 23 1969 was a day that changed my mothers,sister,brother and my life forever. My sister was 6, brother was 2 and I was 5. My mother was a German citizen waiting in Aschaffenburg Germany while my father was doing his duty in Dau Tieng with the 65th Engineers. My mother , sister, brother a I moved to Tacoma Washington soon after due to my fathers recomendations to my mother while he was in Vietnam as he trained at FT. Lewis before being sent. I am proud to be the first generation American on my moms side as I was Born at Ft. Leonardwood Misssouri. Being here in Washington gives me a daily solice in knowing that my father saw my home as the paradise that it is. I'm sure he knew that his traits would be passed on with regards to fishing for Salmon and Steelhead for which I have had a passion for for many years. Thank you dad, I always catch the first one for you!

This info comes from a letter I received from someone who was on Gun 3 that day. he finished a letter that "Lorrie" was writing me back in 69. I was 6 yrs old when he was killed. He tells me that 12 marines were killed that battle and so were 125 enemy. Would like anyone who was there or knows info on this battle to email me.

I had only been in country for about 45 days. I was wounded in that battle. I only knew Lorrie for a short time and am not sure how he was killed. It was a hard fight and we lost a lot of good people. Our corpman was killed and got the medal of honor.Almost half of my crew was hurt. The sappers over ran gun 7 and we were able to stop them at gun 6. The sappers also hit on the oppsite side of the gun line and were stopped with a charge up the gun line led by our Co. No one ran that night. We held and fought them to a stand still even thouogh we were out numbered. I heard that we were hit with several companies and we fought them to a stand still. I heard this after I got out of the hospitol. There was a good artical in "Viet Nam " magizne about the fight. James Web also describes the battle in his book, Fields of Fire.
