Humphrey Tours DMZ as Marines Hold Ground
Vice President Hubert Humphrey flew a quarter mile high over the DMZ and observed U S Marines in action near the anti Communist front. He noted artillery fire on Red positions and saw a Phantom and Intruder cover the transport while a Phantoms squadron attacked a suspected missile site north of the DMZ previously. He considered landing at Dong Ha for a helicopter ride north before ending his Vietnam trip in Da Nang and heading to Kuala Lumpur.
