HMM-361 Readies for a Possible NVA Ground Assault at Dong Ha
|
In Sept 67, Dong Ha was shelled continuously for several days by NVA artillery from just across the DMZ. Word had it that a ground assault would soon follow. Personnel of HMM-361 gather in front of one of the squadrons partially destroyed ops hootches and prepare for the attack. Fortunately, a major assault never took place and the squadron was later airlifted back to DaNang. Comment by: Michael DeWeese on Dec 11, 2009 07:38 PM I was in the attact of Sep. 3rd, 67. I was one of the worse of the casulties from what I was told. I have block all that out for all these years to the point I do not remember the men I served with. If any one remembers me please let me know. My name is Michael DeWeese. I flew 007 air craft, my handle was the Jolly Green Giant. I was there from Oct 15 66 to Sept 3 67 Thanks For any help.
