Operation PIPESTONE CANYON, a combined 1st Marines and 2nd ROKMC Brigade effort, accounted for 510 enemy KIA in Quang Nam province. The Americal Division faced a heavy concentra­ tion of activity and its three operations in Quang Tin and Quang Ngai provinces responded by killing 1196 enemy. On major operations the Marine Corps suffered 130 KIA, 188 WIA, and 1 MIA while accounting for 1434 enemy KIA, 644 Detainees, 34 PW, 588 IWC, and 66 CSWc. The U. S.

  • ACKNOWLEDGMENTS No Author Has Ever Written a Book Totally
    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS No author has ever written a book totally alone—somewhere along the line, he had assistance. In most cases, that assistance has been great. This book is no exception. First, I thank Raymond B. Lech, a fellow author who introduced my work to Sol Stein and then guided me over the first hurdles of being published. I will be eternally grateful to Ray for that. Thanks to my editor, Bill Fryer, for boiling down more than seven hundred pages of manuscript and leaving the content and focus of Carlos Hathcock's story intact. And thank you, Sol Stein, for your faith in me as a writer. Special thanks go to Lt. Col. David Willis, a distinguished marksman and one of the finest Marines I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He had faith in my integrity and introduced me to Carlos Hathcock. He assured Carlos that I was a man of honor and worthy of his trust. Without that, I am certain that Carlos would never have consented to reveal to me his most private and deeply held personal experiences. Thanks are not enough for Maj. E. J. Land. He gave me many, many hours of his time, assisted me in my research, and opened his private library to me. But above all, he opened his soul and let me see a very personal pan of his life. He told me about it in detail and withheld nothing that I requested. Also, I cannot forget Sgt. Maj. David Sommers, M. Gunnery Sgt. Ron McAbee, and David Holden, who freely gave bits and pieces of their past to me.

UWM students rallied to hear anti-war broadcasts in spring 1965. In direct contrast, MU students at a Milwaukee Braves game, led by MU sophomore August P. Sandroni, raised a banner: “Marquette U. supports U.S. Vietnam policy.” Hundreds of MU students at the game cheered. In fall of 1965, senior John C. Leavitt convinced 2,047 students to contribute to a telegram of support for U.S. troops in Vietnam. It received heartfelt praise from Gen. William Westmoreland, commander of U.S. Military Assistance Command in Vietnam. “Young Americans for Freedom” MU members collected five tons of soap to send to the people of South Vietnam. But as the Civil Rights movement emerged, the nation became more liberal and opposed to the war. Changes began at MU as well. 1965 Fr. John P. Raynor, S.J., replaced Fr. F. Kelley as MU President. Fr. Raynor served in that role for 25 years: until 1990. Father Raynor U.S. troops were sent to Vietnam in large numbers, including MU NROTC graduates.

    Law Review 1270 July 2012 Civilian Pension Credit for Military Service Time before 1994 By Captain Samuel F. Wright, JAGC, USN (Ret.) 1.1.3.2—Regular Military Service 1.3.1.1—Left Job for Service and Gave Prior Notice 1.3.1.3—Timely Application for Reemployment 1.3.2.3—Pension Credit for Military Service Time 1.4—USERRA Enforcement 1.6—USERRA Statute of Limitations 1.8—Relationship between USERRA and other Laws/Policies Q: I have read with interest your “Law Review” articles at www.servicemembers-lawcenter.org. I am trying to discern if the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) applies to me. I was born in 1947 and I graduated from high school in May 1965. Just a month later, I went to work for a major corporation, with a defined benefit pension plan. I remained with the company until June 1967, when I was drafted. I served on active duty for almost two years, including a year in Vietnam, and I was honorably discharged in May 1969. I immediately applied for reemployment at the company, and I went back to work in June 1969. I remained with the company for six more years, until I resigned in June 1975. I was told that I would qualify for a pension from the company, as of my 65th birthday. I turned 65 recently, and I applied for the pension. The company personnel office told me that I qualify for a very modest pension, based on six years of company service, from June 1969 to June 1975.
