TANKS AT THE WIRE, LANG VEI, Feb 6, 1968
A combined NVA infantry-tank (12 PT-76 amphibious tanks) assault on the Lang Vei Special Forces Camp shortly before midnight on Feb 6, 1968.
When 7 February came to an end, the Lang Vei Camp was empty. Almost half of the 500 defenders were dead or missing. The survivors left behind them seven destroyed North Vietnamese tanks and at least as many North Vietnamese casualties as they themselves had suffered. The North Vietnamese attack stopped at the camp. It did not continue east toward Khe Sanh
This site is being created first hand, by those we who were there,
not a disinterested third party. This is our story, in our own words.
This site is in the beginning stages, and will continue to develop
