30 USAID Adviser's Story: Sowing the Seeds of Goodwill: 'Don't punish yourselves about Vietnam,' said a Thai veteran. 'Your sacrifices made the peace and prosperity of Southeast Asia possible.'
38 1st Cav Recon in the Ia Drang: It was a mission suited for cavalry, and the helicopter-mounted troopers of the Bullwhip Squadron were more than equal to the task.

10 Fighting Forces: The valiant efforts of three Air Force FACs kept the beleaguered Nung Mike Force from annihilation and set the stage for Operation Attleboro.
16 Arsenal: Three years before U.S. ground troops landed in Vietnam, 'Flying Bananas' carried ARVN soldiers into battle.
20 Personality: Chaplain Thomas Confroy was not physically imposing, but he exerted a towering moral presence on the battlefield.
