Your Family will Never Forget your Bravery

Lynn. Oh I have heard so much about you. Your brother has missed you ever since you gave your life for this country. I am married to your nephew Jordan, a man who honors you every year ensuring your grave is clean and flagged. You have touched so many hearts even though your not here to see. I hope you are looking down upon your family smiling with pride- your face will soon be on the wall at the Portland VA in Oregon. Reading so many wonderful memories, I wish I would have been able to meet you, as I know your nephew would have been so honored to have known a soldier like you. Rest easy

Final Mission of SP5 Lynn D. Anderson

img
Ben Het Camp (also known as Ben Het Special Forces Camp) was a former U.S. Army and Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) base northwest of Kon Tum in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The camp was notable for being the site of a tank battle between the U.S. Army and the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN), one of the few such encounters during the Vietnam War. On March 3, 1969, Ben Het was attacked by the PAVN 66th Regiment, supported by armored vehicles of the 4th Battalion, 202nd Armored Regiment. One of the attacking PT-76s detonated a land mine, which alerted the camp and lit up the other PT-76s attacking the base. Flares were sent up, exposing adversary tanks, but sighting in on muzzle flashes, one PT-76 scored a direct hit on the turret of an M48 of the 1st Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment, killing two crewmen, SP5 Lynn D. Anderson and SP4 Jeffrey K. Goss, and wounding two more. Another M48, using the same technique, destroyed a PT-76 with their second shot. At daybreak, the battlefield revealed the wreckage of two PT-76s and one BTR-50 armored personnel carrier. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and wikipedia.org]
