Mary - I have a Khe Sanh vet visiting and we've been discussing this loss incident as he was there. Noticed not much in the d'base about their loss incidents. With his help I found this short synopsis about the ambush. My Golf vets says this is accurate except for a few minor details. Tried a google search but apparently none of the survivors have written about their experiences.
