Ground Casualty

On the early morning of May 18, 1967, Communist forces attacked the 3rd Marine Division headquarters at Dong Ha Combat Base in Quang Tri Province, RVN. Twelve American servicemen were killed and 91 wounded when a barrage of more than 150 140mm rockets slammed into the base. The attack also damaged buildings, equipment, and some aircraft. The lost personnel included seven Marines: LCPL Michael C. Farrell, PFC William G. Fellinger Jr., PFC William A. Fish, PFC Colin F. Jackson, PFC Kenneth D. Phares, SMAJ James W. Robbins, and PFC Jimmie L. Thomas; three Navy personnel: HM2 Jacque J. Ayd, HM2 Lewis C. Cook, and HM3 Theodore R. Nelson; and two Army personnel: PFC Ronald R. Cassel, and PFC John C. Gainous.

I remember my friend Colin Frank Jackson

He was born in Liverpool, England. He couldn't have been drafted but he elected to serve and was very proud to a marine. His father had fought in North Africa under Montgomery in WW II. My last letter from him was written from Okinawan--days later he was dead. It seemed so surreal that someone so full of life would lose his life. He was always lucky--got into car wrecks and never got so much as a bruise.
