Renegade Woods
On 02 Apr 1970 a recon team from F Company, 75th Rangers, was sent into an area called the "Renegade Woods" to investigate reports of a large NVA/VC force. The Rangers found the enemy - all they could handle and more besides. Companies B and C, 2nd Bn, 27th Infantry, were inserted as the initial reaction force; A/2/27 joined in the late afternoon, and two additional companies from 2/22nd Infantry came in the next day. By the time the fighting ended several days later, over 100 NVA/VA troops from the 271st NVA/VC Regiment were dead, a large base camp was in American hands, and twelve American soldiers were dead:

To my nephew
Although you've been gone a long time now you are still remembered dearly. I will never forget the first time I saw you, such a sweet baby boy. We were so close in age you were more like a baby brother than a nephew....I was so proud of you. Gone but never forgotten.....RIP!
