Hill 700
Looking for stories or information as to what when wrong when G 2/26 assaulted Hill 700 on or about April 6, 1968. I was a 81mm Squad Leader on Hill 558 on that particular day. I don't recall any prep fire by the 81's platoon or any other prep fire before the assault. It would appear that someone should have been held accountable. Does anyone know why no prep fire?WSB

Dennis served as a radioman with Sub Unit 5, HQ BN, 3rd MarDiv He was at Khe Sanh for just about all of 1967.

Dennis was among the Marines from the KSCB who evacuated the wounded and placed them on planes for transport to medical facilities. Dennis was also at the base in support of the Hill Battles in the spring of 1967. Funeral services will be Saturday Dec 6, 2025 at Davis Funeral Home in Riverton, Wyoming. Dennis was 78 years old.

•May his soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed rest in peace; may an all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful, all-merciful, all-forgiving God wrap him in his strong arms and hold him next to his tender breast for all eternity. Until we rendezvous @ Fiddle's Green and march on Valhalla. Semper Fidelis!!!
