Vietnam War Napalm Action Saves Paratroopers Say Survivors
Lt. Col Henry Emerson of Milford Pa led the battalion as a company commander in Vietnam. Ast. St. Walter Sabalanski of Palm Bay Fla apologized for not shaking hands after surviving a napalm attack. He said jelled gasoline dropped by their unit was a big gamble that paid off. Rain of napalm halted the enemy briefly and allowed paratroopers to defend their position. Bamboo helped shield the troops and kept them from being fully exposed in an open area.
