Members of Bravo Company's 3rd Platoon bow their heads during a memorial service at Lai Khe basecamp after the Battle of Xom Bo II, which took place on 17 June '67. Third Platoon (Third Herd) lost 9 soldiers KIA in the battle and others wounded. I feel very fortunate to have been able to serve with these and other brave soldiers during my tour as a combat medic. I am thinking about them all and wishing them well on Veteran's Day, 2018.
