Khe Sanh 67-68

There was no one covering the East end of the Airstrip. For what ever reason, the East end of the strip had no dug in lines. The U S Marines came within a couple of Hundred feet on the North side and the ARVN Marines did the same on the South side. So Defending the open area up through the strip fell to Recon and the Seabees, who lived by the Air strip. In the top right you can see the Dead Choppers and Planes piled up. Also in the bottom middle you can see the Shit burning Detail. Sam Messer Detachment Bravo CBMU301
