Description
Painting depicts soldiers bringing back their fallen comrades during the battle of Xom Bo II. This action took place on 17 June, 1967. Units from the Big One's 1/16th and 2/28th Infantry regiments were involved resulting in the loss of 36 U.S.
Soldiers. Contributing to the painting were photos taken by unnamed soldiers engaged in the action. Much credit is due them for capturing those moments. As a Vietnam veteran and member of the Big Red One I salute the valor shown that
day. They should never be forgotten.
Watermark will not appear on purchased prints.

Thanks so much Dave. That was a rough day for the Big Red One. I'm in touch with one of the medics from that battle. He soon afterwards was commissioned and eventually retired a Colonel.

Amen to your description of the Valor shown and not forgetting these men. I love your ability to bring me into this historic moment. I feel sad, but reverent.
