When Bob Bliss, Mark Faucett, and I started this blog, our main purpose was to tell the story of and find other survivors of the battle on September 21, 1967. While doing research on the fighting around Con Thien and the DMZ, I realized that I needed to recognize all the troops who fought in that area since we all shared common experiences. To bring recognition to those men and their units, I now present the following Medal of Honor and Navy Cross recipients. I apologize to the Silver and Bronze Star recipients as I had no source for them. I know every man who ever spent time at the DMZ deserves our respect and many deserve medals they never received. You know who you are. I salute you.
If anyone knew any of these men and would like to write about them, just contact me.

Condolences to Channel 7/WJLA reporter Natasha Barrett. We're told that her father, James Barrett, 65, died last week. He was a Vietnam vet, and won the bronze Medal Of Honor. More at cyfairfunerals.com. She's been off the air to attend services in Mississippi.....
