A little after midnight on December 28, 1969, Viet Cong sappers attacked the northern perimeter of Alpha Company who were hunkered down in foxholes they dug the afternoon before in the Ho Bo Woods in Binh Duong Province 20 km north of Cu Chi. The three VC sappers snuck up on 3-6’s position and threw satchel charges and hand grenades and fired Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPG) into 3-6’s foxhole and the foxholes to the west. They then opened up with AK-47’s. A total of eight members of the third platoon were killed. They included 2LT John W. Foreman, SGT Robert L. Emery, CPL Terry A. Thornton, CPL Charles E. Merritt, SP4 Danial “Whitey” G. Heiderich, CPL Allen R. Rader, CPL Otis Carthage Jr., and CPL Roger D. Cox.[Taken from i-kirk.info/2nd14th]
