The objective was a sweep of the North Vietnam- ese Army (NVA)-dominated A Shau Valley by the 9th Marine Regiment reinforced by elements of the 3rd Marine Regiment to interdict the flow of supplies from the Ho Chi Minh Trail into the area. As the 9th Marines moved towards the A Shau valley, they established numerous firebases along the way which would provide them their ar- tillery support once they entered the valley and guard their MSR (Main Supply Route.) All of these bases needed to be resupplied by helicop- ter because of their distance from the main com- bat bases and because resupply via ground was very difficult during monsoon season. The Marines encountered stiff resistance through- out the conduct of the operation, most of which was fought under triple canopy jungle and within range of NVA artillery based in Laos. Marine cas- ualties were 130 KIAs & 932 WIAs. The Marines killed 1,617 NVA troops and captured over 500 tons of arms and munitions while denying the val- ley as an NVA staging area for the duration of the operation.

    3rd Battalion, 3rdMarines Aug 2010 Washington DC Memories America’s Battalion History - Honor - Tradition - Brotherhood Young Corpsmen … vintage Marines 3/3 at 29 Palms, March 2010 Why we gather together: There is a Bible scripture that states “There is no greater love than one who gives his life for another.” Many gave their lives that we could be here this evening. While we were spared by fate from giving our lives, we were prepared to do so for our fellow Marines and Docs. That’s the essence of Marine love and that’s why we did what we did. We cared for one another then as we do today. There’s nothing more to say. It would be unnecessary or redundant to say that we would trust our lives to one another—simply be- cause we have already have and in more ways that we could ever imagine or recount. We’re alive today be- cause of the quiet and unassuming courage and compassion of those in this room tonight as well as many or our comrades who are unable to be with us or who are with us only in spirit. That’s why we’ve come from great distances and, for some, at great expense. We’ll never be able to repay one another. There really isn’t enough money in the world to do that. But we will forever remember each other. That’s why we’re here. That’s why we’re so proud to have been a 3/3 Marine in Vietnam and so proud to be a part of this celebration of remembrance so many years later.
