I would like to hear from any "China Marines"from the Vietnam era.I need to know what unit honors was given to the 2nd Battlion,4th Marines from July 1965 untill January 1966.
I understand that unit got a Presidential Unit Citation with 2 bronze stars.Any and all help will be appreciated.A friend of mine, Joe Paul received the MOH,but died for that honor.He jumped off a medivac chopper,as he didn't feel he was hurt bad enough,and laid down covering fire for his brothers,while they carried the dead and wounded to the medivac choppers.He was a true hero!
