Junk Fleet Hammers Reds In Viet River War
The concluding letter from Navy Lt. Bill Barschow, 27, to his Bay Village parents recounts river patrols near Can Tho, VC ambushes, and a claimed 60 plus VC killed after mortar and shelling. He notes political uncertainty and his plan to return home, with a medal for gallantry and a dream to build a large sailboat. He was killed April 3 when his gunboat collided with something unspecified.
