June 19th Battle by
Jim Henke - Alpha Co, 4th/47th
The primary mission of this Vietnam trip is to visit our June 19, 1967 battle site and to stand on that ground 40 years to the day after that unforgettable event. While there we will honor our 48 brave soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice on that day.

Pockmarked paddies testify to the ferocity of the three day battle fought by the 9th Division in Long An Province. The circular pits, which quickly filled with water, were caused by bombs from air strikes and artillery rounds.
This trip has been scheduled and developed to suit individual requirements. For
example, several folks will only visit Saigon and the Mekong Delta. Others
will visit these areas and several sites north of Saigon. It is recommended that
you coordinate your detail requirements directly with our tour guides, Courtney
and Trang Frobenius of IndoChina Tours.

Personal Invitation
Greetings All,
I would like to encourage other Veterans to join my son & I as well as 8 others already committed to this trip. We will have an individual along to document the journey with interviews and video. This will result in a full blown documentary being created for possible TV coverage.
Some of us are making this a short trip and others will experience an extensive tour of Vietnam. I'll happily provide additional details to those who are interested.
