Doing some research for my husband's claim. Trying to find anyone who was at Cu Chi February 26, 1969 when the base was overrun by VC. The VC took out 12 double-rotored Chinook helicopters were taken out by VC saboteurs. 9 were completely destroyed. My husband had to go into the motor pool because an enemy NVA ran in there with sapper charges. There was huge damage all over the base because the NVA came in from so many places. Trying to find anyone who remembers the motor pool incident. My husband's name is Wilbur G. Dickson, Jr. Most people called him "Flip". He was with the 25th Infantry from Hawaii, called up through the National Guard of Hawaii. Found an After Action Report, Department of the Army, HQ, 554th Engineer Battalion (Const), that talks about a ground attack on HOTEL Sector, Cu Chi Base Camp by NVA Forces on 26 February 1969 but National Archives can't locate it. We need help from someone who was on base and can confirm the attack. Looking forward to receiving info. Thank you, E. Kawai
