#1 RIP. "The Bridge at Dong Ha" is a great book and well worth the read.

I also agree that Ripley deserved the MOH for his deeds that day.

#2 His heroic act is very well described in the book Easter Offensive by Turley. This is a book that should be read by all those that think that the ARVN could not fight.

#4 Semper Fi Marine - See you at the Pearly Gates. Spent some time by the Bridge in 69. No small feat to blow that thing sky high.
