Troops Stopped Back At Lang Vei Camp In Vietnam
US 1st Air Cavalry troops attempting to return to Lang Vei Special Forces camp faced three stoppages as North Vietnamese forces held bunkers and fired mortars and machine guns. Verdier led a company into the camp twice, both repelled, with two wounded and three previously. The action linked to the larger Pegasus operation and Khe Sanh siege context. In Iowa, the College Community School District board discussed a ten year master plan but took no action, while approving 1968-69 salary increases and resignations and board elected teachers for next year.
