"For some, Hill 488 was just another landmark in the jungles of Vietnam. For the eighteen men of Charlie Company, it was a last stand. This is the stirring combat memoir written by Ray Hildreth, one of the unit's survivors."

Co-authored by Charles W. Sasser, co-author of One Shot---One Kill.

This paperback is a good account of the early days of the Vietnam war. I'll leave this up for a few days, then do my usual turkey shoot to select a winner.
 
This is the story of the most decorated unit in the Viet Nam war. I knew several of these men including Howard. Didn't know the author, which is strange as we were about the same rank, age although he had been in country longer.

Please don't include me since I have the book. It is a great read, an unbelievable story. The helo pilot that was part of the rescue (first on the scene) retired as a Army National Guard pilot. My brother was his crew chief in the Guard.
 
Appreciate it kindly and will read it with pride

I promise to RE-Karma it here when done

Thank You
