KSV News: Short Round 020
Your Web Site Grows
It is simply remarkable how much new information is available on your new website (khesanh.vet). There has been a ton written about the battle. Some of it great and some of it not so good. But what continues to impress me is how much I did NOT know about what happened there.
Even if you are a student of history, and this particular window of history, I will assure you that you will have the opportunity to learn something new with every KSV website visit. I have.
Many have said: ”Screw it- enough! Sick of it!”
Consider this: It is likely that this outlook comes from reading and re-reading the same information in slightly different formats and articles over the years. The same stories in black & white
Our goal is to revisit the battle, but in technicolor with new information and details you have not seen.
For example:
During incoming, our faces were smooshed into the red clay, making ourselves as small as possible, trying to hide Between and Under the grains of sand.
While Capt Baig’s team in the TOC was analyzing the shell craters, sensor data, aerial photos and dozens of other input data to find the source. And we did. Then we pounded it into the dirt. Maybe not immediately, but we did. Ammo dumps, truck depots, fuel storage and troop concentrations.
Post war analyses conclude that we gave worse than we got. And then some! Who knew??
It is history- but it is OUR history.
When else in your life have you made history?
