>>There was a bridge dammaged by VC Sappers on Highway 1A at the western approach to Saigon. A large slab was blown from the bridge and there were VC KIA. There was also a tatical air support bomb dropped. Early June I believe. I think it was called the Newport bridge but am not positive. Seeking any and all records of this event.
