Marines held a bridge on Highway 1 while Quang Tri City Rangers broke under daylong combat and retreated south, with some crossing rivers to reach friendly lines. Nixon says U.S. troops will not be redeployed despite limited bombing of military targets in both halves of Vietnam.

He observes weak South Vietnamese defenses, eroding American-style tools, and disrepair at bases like Cam Ranh Bay, with mixed bravery among locals and a troubling lack of unity.
