Fifty years ago today sadly remembered.
At 8:15 AM on August 29, 1968, while establishing a blocking position with Mike Company 3rd Battalion 7th Marines (3/7) in preparation for Operation Sussex Bay, a search and clear operation in Quang Nam Province, RVN, the lead Platoon of Lima Company, 3/7, received intense hostile sniper fire and made heavy contact with the enemy in the Dodge City area southwest of Da Nang, 2 miles south of Hill 55. While attempting to maneuvering against the enemy flank, the Marines came under a heavy volume of automatic-weapons fire delivered from three sides by a large North Vietnamese Army force, and sustained numerous casualties. Mike Company 3/7, and elements of Company D, 1st Battalion, 1st Marines, Company G, 2d Battalion, 27th Marines, and 3rd Platoon, Bravo Company, First Tank Battalion joined in the battle assisting Lima company to extract from the ambush area. Assisted by aircraft and artillery, the Marines dislodged the North Vietnamese. Friendly losses totaled 10 dead and 33 wounded. The Marines reported killing 42 of the enemy.
The Lima 3/7 losses included; PFC Ronald E. Adkins, LCPL Willie J. Faulks, Platoon Radioman CPL Louis A. Herrera, PFC Lile L. Johnson Jr., PFC Richard S. Moxley, LCPL Raymond P.
