Forty-one years ago today, the 2/12th Cavalry engaged units of the 3rd NVA Regiment in the Que Son Valley. When the battle was over twenty-three Americans had died.
The front cover of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial brochure is part of Panel 33E and it has the names of eighteen men from the 2/12th Cavalry and the names of five men from units in direct support of the 2/12th Cavalry who were killed on January 7, 1968.
The names of the 2/12th Cavalry Troopers from HHC, Company A and Company C are highlighted in yellow while the support Troopers from the 1/1st Cavalry and crew of the Command & Control helicopter are highlighted in blue.
May they rest in peace.
