Day 4 - June 19, 2007
Visit to our June 19th Battle Site and
Honroring our Fallen Soldiers.
 

Headed to Nui Creek for a boat ride
to the battle site. . .
 

Standing on the exact ground on the exact date and hour 40 years later we honored our fallen soldiers - our brothers.

Mike Lee led with a prayer, Bill Reynolds read the names of our fallen, and then Idoluis Casares, Bob & Pat Geier, George Gadsden, Dennis Lee, JR Johnson, and Tim Howard all made reflective statements of what this occasion meant to themselves and their family members.
 

Local villagers look on while we conducted our ceremony - several in
attendance were present during the battle 40 years ago that day. Our most excellent tour guide, Tom, translated to them what we were doing.

The Vietnamese constructed this Monument after The War - it's located near where Alpha Company fought the VC on June 19th.

and their brother John Lee's footsteps of 40 years ago.
 

The heat & humidity was beyond
belief - it was HOT HOT HOT!!
 

Tour guide Tom proved to be a tremendous asset to our group, his historical knowledge of
the Vietnam War, it's aftermath and the areas we visited was simply priceless.
