Final Mission of CPT Joseph B. Jones
CPT Joseph B. Jones was an infantry unit commander serving as the leader of D Company, 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry, 11th Infantry Brigade, Americal Division. On February 5, 1968, CPT Jones was leading 1st Platoon, D Company, on a cordon and search operation in a broad valley in the vicinity of Duc Pho, Quang Ngai Province, RVN, when a single sniper round fatally injured him. His men were so enraged that there was reportedly a small breakdown in command and control when they began burning a couple of hooches where the fire appeared to come from, and resulting in most of the village being burned down in response to the loss of their commanding officer.
