Marine would like a little Info
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
I'm looking for info on operation Starlite. My father was with India 3/3 in '65 where he was WIA. He died in '88 and he never talked about it. Any info anyone has would be appreciated.

Operation Starlite
Operation Starlite was the first major battle of the Vietnam war.
14-18 August 1965
I Company 3/3 was the hardest hit unit to fight in Operation Starlite, with 19 KIA's and almost every man in I company received a battle wound.
The first Congressional Medal of Honor in the Vietnam war was awarded to then Cpl Robert O'Malley of I company 3/3
I have an after action report posted on my web site http://3rdmarines.net go to the Military Ops sectiion.
Sorry to hear your Dad is no longewr with us.
