The true story of the Marines of MIKE 3/5 in Vietnam, 4 September 1967.
A true Vietnam War saga based on 50 interviews with veterans who were there and relatives of those who didn’t come home.
Monday, September 4, 1967…
Eyes peeled and moving quietly, Lance Corporal Jack Swan led 164 of his fellow US Marines from Mike Company, 3rd Battalion, Fifth Marines over the face of a bare, rocky knoll deep in the Que Son Valley of South Vietnam. The men knew every step could be booby-trapped and the enemy might be hiding behind any bush. Carrying unreliable M16 rifles that often malfunctioned, their job was to rescue an isolated company of fellow leathernecks besieged by the Communist North Vietnamese Army.
