for the story of the May 1968 battle on this mountain.

AS SR MEDIC, CHARLIE CO. 3/22ND, 25TH INF. DIV. I SPENT A MONTH ON THIS VIETNAMESE MOUNTAIN BASE CAMP IN 1968. OUR ENEMY, THE VIET CONG, OVERRAN THE CAMP May 13, 1968.

OUR JOB WAS TO PROTECT THE COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN.

BELOW OUR CAMP THE ENEMY SURROUNDED US, HIDING IN CAVES ON THE MOUNTAINSIDE, CONSTANTLY SEEKING OPPORTUNITIES TO ATTACK US.

BETWEEN THE BOULDERS, BONES OF SKELETONS COULD BE SEEN FROM PRIOR BATTLES.

A PAGODA SAT ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN AS A SHRINE TO THE 'BLACK VIRGIN.' COMMUNICATIONS ANTTENNAS 'CROWNED' ITS ROOF.
