A Note from The Virtual Wall

On 22 Jan 1969 an engineer team from C Company, 1st Engineer Battalion was conducting mine sweeping operations along Highway 540 about 8 kilometers south-southwest of Danang. H&S Company, 1/7 Marines provided the engineers with an infantry security force. An ambush on the sweep team developed into a short but vicious firefight which resulted in the deaths of five Marines and one Navy Corpsman:
  • C Co, 1st Eng Bn
    • Cpl John F. Weaver, Kansas City, MO
    • LCpl Johnny S. Holt, Charlotte, NC
