Then, in a domino pattern, the attacks moved southward through the coastal cities of Qui Nhon, Tuy Hoa and Nha Trang, leapfrogged over into the highland cities of Kontum and Pleiku and continued southward into the Delta?where some of the first attacks came only at week's end.

...boys, Trang Cuong Viet, 10, and Nguyen Phat Luom, 13, were injured by shrapnel and bombs in the South Vietnamese provinces. They were flown to Hanscom Field in Bedford by the United States Air Force.
