I served with 1 bn 4 Marines The Regiment came from Hawaii and arrived in stages from April to June of 65. 1 bn and 2 bn were at Chu Lai till 1966 they moved to Phu Bai in 66. Were some of the first to go north of Hue. 3 bn was at Phu Bai and were not with there Regiment till 66. I was told 3 bn went back to Okinawa for a while in 66 and 1 bn went back to Okinawa for a few weeks in 67. I don't know if 2 bn did. I was told the Regiment moved to Dong Ho in late 66. They were there during Tet in 68. That on the DMZ. It was near the coast from memory but I was not with them then. If he does not want to talk about it let it lay. Some days I do and most I don't. Hard to talk about it to those who were not there. I'm a grandfather now but don't know who that old man is in the mirror. My brother served there in the Army. Most of my friends and a large number I worked with served there.
