Chargin Charlies Charge
15 July 1967. About 15km southwest of Duc Pho, Charlie Company 1/35th Infantry met the enemy in fortified positions. This quote from Capt. Cavender says it all: "This battle was won by the men, not artillery or airpower - but the infantrymen who were willing to close with and destroy the enemy. They did everything I asked of them and more. Once we started our assault I knew it would soon be over, and victory was ours." Thanks to Ben Youmans for providing this report.
