    If you're refering to the Ambush Valley incident on 9/7 to 9/10/1967, you might want to look into the book by Eric Hammel titled "Ambush Valley, I Corps, Viet Nam, 1967-the story of a Marine Infantry Battalion's Battle for Survival. I was there and the book is a very accurate reflection of my experience.

    I have a K-Bar in my collection that belonged to Steve Levitt USMC Recon Northern I Corps. He was shot in the head when over-run Feb 1968. His wife says he had to be left on the field, but Oliver North, his CO, returned for him. They took him back in a body bag and when he was being hosed off, they found he was still alive. Can anyone confirm this? If you knew Steve and was his given name Earl or ? Please e-mail me at: suwanneetrader@hotmail.com. Thank-you. I appreciate all you vets.

    lot of information on sites below:

    A trichloroethylene (TCE) toxic plume was discovered in 1985 off of Marine Corps
    Air Station (MCAS) El Toro, California. El Toro was placed on the EPA Superfund
    list in 1990, closed in July 1999, and most of the land sold at a public auction
    in 2005. MWSG-37 (EPA Site 24) was the source of the toxic plume spreading off
    the base. Multiple contaminants were found on base near landfills, including
    radionuclides (Uranium 235, Radium 226 and Radium 228).

    also includes:

    Please take a few minutes to read and sign the petition at
    http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/cdr-melissa-mohon-usn.html. Please include
    comments relating to your service at El Toro which may be helpful to the
    evaluation.

    also includes: A legal review and evaluation of possible injuries and deaths
    related to exposure to TCE/PCE at former MCAS El Toro is underway by a Southern
    California law firm. Veterans, dependents, and civilian workers with injuries
    possibly related to exposure to TCE/PCE at former MCAS El Toro can contact Mr.

    in a nutshell, either contaminates can cause miscarriages, birth defects and
    illness in children, (even sprem can carry the contaminate to wife); affects the
    heart, brain, skin, autoimmune (such as Lupus, MS or MS type health problems,
    nerve damage, blood, bone, cancer of any major organs, and so on. I hope that
    this is helpful and also that you may help others by passing information along

    poems I wrote for art show in Oregon in 1989 called: Images of Vietnam; only poet, only woman veteran and only non-combat veteran

    That Was Hard Enough
    In the dark humid forest,
    I swore,
    I would never love
    or believe again,
    the day my soul
    lay shattered,
    next to the stillness,
    of my best friend.
    That was hard enough.
    Feeling heartsick and fragile,
    I came home to face,
    the unjust spit and venom
    and foul words of hate;
    until bitterness
    and disbelief,
    became my pilgrimage,
    and anger and mistrust
    my way of life.
    You ask me why I find
    it hard to trust,
    even after all these years;
    because I am haunted more
    by the memories of hate,
    than
    I am by the distant drums
    of a distant war.

    Etched In Stone
    I cried when I saw them
    and thought, "oh God, not you";
    then they told me you had died
    in the jungles of Vietnam,
    trying to save people,
    and that was so like you.
    I remember your deep compassion,
    and how you use to dream
    of wanting freedom for everyone
    and a more peaceful world;
    and how it became shattered
    in a war no one wants to remember.
    Al that remains with me now
    is your warm and gentle memory,
    making it harder for me
    to reach out to touch
    the coldness of your name,
    etched in stone.

    linda arneson dokken

    No One Ever Told Me
    No one ever told me
    your lonely silence
    of a war screaming blood,
    demanding,
    overwhelming,
    would drive us deeper
    into haunted memories
    of a humid forest.
    No one ever told me
    the unconscious rage
    lingering in fearful eyes,
    loathing,
    hating,
    would cause us to explode,
    to drift apart with empty faces
    viewing shattered images.
    No one ever told me,
    that it would all end
    and you and I would lie,
    abandoned,
    forgotten,
    to the echoing sound
    of a distant spade.
    No one ever told me.

    linda arneson dokken

    Not Your Enemy
    I wish,
    I had known
    how to deal with
    your empty eyes,
    your unspoken pain,
    and your forbidding silence.
    I wish,
    I would have known,
    how to draw you out,
    to talk to you,
    to listen to what you
    needed to say.
    I wish,
    I would have known,
    how to stay with you
    over all the years;
    to let you know
    that I really loved you.
    I wish,
    more than anything,
    I would have known
    how to convince you
    that I was not
    your enemy.
