Wallis Posted October 13, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 13, 2019 My father served in this unit and was awarded a bronze star for helping fend off a vietcong attack on their firebase on August 7, 1967. I was wondering if anyone had any information or knowledge on what all happened here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra 6 Actual Posted October 13, 2019 Share #2 Posted October 13, 2019 Hello, I believe this was posted earlier by a Forum member. Unfortunately, I don’t have the original post bookmarked and the ‘hotlinks’ at the end don’t seem to work. Still this should get you started until another more knowledgeable Forum member ‘answers up’: How to request Vietnam After Action Information Official Documentation may be available for your unit, unit of a friend, or the unit of a loved one. DO NOT PAY A WEB SITE FOR THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION. It is free. We recommend a personal visit to the Archives. However, if a visit is not possible, the following is SUGGESTED as a possible procedure for YOU to receive information similiar to that above. Although not a requirement, we recommend your search is limited to a six day period. The information below was sent to me by fellow Vietnam Veteran John Kolsun. He requested that I include it on this web site so that other veterans would know that they too can request copies of their unit's history. Besides visiting the Archives in person, there are two ways to obtain your Unit's History - method one or method two.
