It too some time but I found some maps for reference SP5 Mark Kuzinski. The location where all the battle stars are is the Que Son valley SP5 Mark Kuzinski. Then there is an image of some marines in the Que Son valley and the last image shows where Binh Dinh province is on the coast.
For many these names are so alien they are not rememberable; for those who fought there and those of us interested in history they are worth remembering for what they cost in terms of human lives.

SP5 Mark Kuzinski Thaks for keeping me in the loop on these Vietnam historical posts. This is actually how far behind I am in RallyPoint (August 9, 2016) 810 emails behind today - trying to knock out one new one and one old one each day!
