Bridge Over Suoi Van Tam Becomes Open For Dispatch
In Vietnam the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Infantry Division fought two Viet Cong battalions near a rubber plantation nine miles by six, crossing a fragile 100 foot bridge while monsoons washed it away. Vietnamese engineers rebuilt it as Delta helicopters delivered mortars, and artillery finally crossed to support the pursuit. Lt. Col Gordon Lippman celebrated the bridge’s reopening with a quip about Hollywood.
