This started out as a Wednesday Hero post but because of the heavy casualties that 3rd Battalion, 5th Regiment, 3/5 Darkhorse, suffered, 25 Men KIA in seven months, I decided to make it a memorial post. Semper Fi, Marines.

I love this website!! Thank you for getting these fine Americans into the public domain.
Just read a new book that's also about Americans who love their country. I recommend it cause it's so real.

As a VietNam Veteran I only wish you were around when I & others were in war. Maybe, you can start adding some names from previous wars. Just an idea. Again, thanks!
Yeah, most of the ones I've profiled have fought in this war but I've profiled heroes from WWII, Korea, Vietnam. I profiled GySgt. Carlos Hathcock just a few weeks ago. I've even profiled a Soldier who fought in the Civil War. And thank you for your service. You guys didn't get the thanks you deserved at the time.
