...Division, took charge of Attleboro and set up an operational headquarters at Dau Tieng. The once-sleepy village bordering a large rubber plantation soon resembled a World War II beachhead as lumbering C-1235 transports and darting helicopters brought in hundreds of tons of supplies from 175-mm. artillery shells to plastic bottles of mosquito repellent. DePuy soon concluded that Attleboro had caught the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese massing for an attack on the Special Forces camp of Suoi Da, perhaps as the opening of a major winter offensive. True or not, the Reds kept fighting as though...

He found one on Bataan's Mount Natib: a Japanese military battery that was lobbing 70-mm. shells into U.S. General Jonathan Wainwright's beleaguered defenders. Marcos and three privates scouted the battery, trailing two bearded Japanese artillerymen to it, then cut loose. They killed more than 50 Japanese, spiked the guns, and escaped with only one casualty. Marcos won the first of a brace of Silver...
