Final Mission of 1LT Lawrence D. Knuth

Operation Osage (April 27 – May 2, 1966) was a U.S. Marine Corps amphibious operation into the rice paddy region situated between Da Nang and Hue, RVN. The mission was to find, fix, and destroy a Viet Cong (VC) battalion and elements of a North Vietnamese Army (NVA) regiment reported to be operating in the area. No known contact was ever recorded with the targeted enemy units during the operation; however, on the morning of April 29th, Company C, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines took casualties from a small, unknown enemy unit employing sniper fire and rifle grenades near Hill 282 on Cape Chon May in Thua Thien Province, RVN. The company had just seized one objective and was preparing to assault its next target when it began receiving fire a little after noon. One Marine was wounded requiring an emergency evacuation. As C Company maneuvered towards the direction of fire, a mine was detonated. Six Marines and a Navy corpsman were killed; seven others were wounded. The lost Marines included PFC Loren E. Bradley, SGT David D. Gummere, PFC Harry D. Haskins, 1LT Lawrence D. Knuth, FSGT Louis J. Pellizzari, and PFC James C. Wiskur; the lost Navy aidman was HM2 Bob E. Pogre. Medivacs were called to the scene, and the casualties were removed. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and “Combat After Action Report for Operation Osage”]

A great friend

Lt. Knuth was one of my Father's best friends during their time at Georgia Military College in Milledgeville GA. My Father, Ronnie, would often talk about his times there and the friends he made and Larry Knuth was at the top of the list. Thank you for your service sir, you are a true hero.

Always in my thought-you and the First Sergeant

Remember it like it was yesterday-but I also remember you swimming with your uniform on at the "O" club in Hawaii.
