On
June 15, 1968, Brad stepped on a mine during Operation MAMELUKE THRUST.
One minute he was preparing for battle, the next he was back in the
States in a body cast in Bremerton Naval Hospital. For 30 years,
he never knew what happened to the Marines of Mike 3/5
after he was gone.
In
September 1998, we started searching the Internet and found many 3/5
Marines, and Marines from other outfits who participated in the same
area of operations. We also found that the bonds of brotherhood
forged during combat are just as strong today as it was for them in
Vietnam.
On this site, you will hear combat experiences and reunion stories
that will touch your heart, along with some very special tributes
to brothers-in-arms. As you read their memoirs, and view their pictures, please
say a few kind words in your heart for these warriors, and for
their friends who did not return.
Walk
gently on this sacred ground,
her wounds are not yet healed...
