THE WALL OF FACES

LZ Veghel was located on Route 547 at its intersection with Route 547A (seventeen miles southwest of the Hue Citadel) in Thua Thien Province, RVN. The landing zone consisted of two peaks with a saddle between them and was taken during costly fighting against an entrenched North Vietnamese Army in April 1968. Veghel was abandoned and reopened at various times between 1968 and 1971. It was reopened in March 1969 to support Operation Massachusetts Striker, and again in February 1971 to support Operation Dewey Canyon II. In June 1971, artilleryman SP4 Michael R. Street was at Veghel serving with A Battery, 2nd Battalion, 94th Artillery, 108th Artillery Group. On June 6th, Street died after sustaining a head injury. Reportedly, he stepped out of his barracks, stumbled over a wire, and fell over an embankment, striking his head. He died several hours later.
