I guess that there was no fighting in 1V corps? I'm sure those river boys will be glade to hear of that. Now if they just could bring back all those lost.
I don't know were this info came from but it would seem it's from a very limited perspective. I can think of a few things more that happened from June of 67 to June of 68.
Just a couple month period

Vietnam has many, many stories and to say "Vietnam day by day" and then leave volumes out is not really "Vietnam day by day" it should say "Some" of Vietnam Day by day.
But thanks.
