Chapter 11 covering the early
Operations of the 3d Brigade. This excerpt is from John M
Carland's Stemming the Tide. The account is an excellent telling of the
3d Brigade's early contributions to the fight for the
Central Highlands. A very good read, full of detail of the
overall actions taking place when Col Everette Stoutner
commanded.
On 28 Oct 1966, Company C,
2/35th was repeatedly attacked by two companies of NVA. This
account was excerpted from the book West to Cambodia
by S. L. A. Marshall. Captivating reading for everyone,
whether you were there or not. A must read book for those
who served in the Central Highlands in 1966.
"One More Sunrise" is written by Curtis Paul Gay, who was a
member of A Company, 2/35th in 1966-67. Sgt. Gay was a part
of the beleaguered Alpha Company Platoon surrounded by the
NVA on 12 March 1967 near the Cambodian Border. A very good
read from one who was there.
