Marines Break Encirclement After Three Day Siege Near DMZ
Two U S Marine companies held off North Vietnamese forces for three days on a jungle hill south of the demilitarized zone. A rescue battalion fought through heavy jungle to reach them while Westerman and McMahon coordinated fire and evacuation. Helicopters finally landed to extract the wounded as reinforcements joined from Cam Lo.
