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.
