3RD DIVI IO LTCjgJ T.E. Strasbaugh The maiority of the action on the cruise was seen by the boat group. With the loading and offloading of UNION and other ships in Ready Group Bravo, Third Division worked many long hours in occasional tropical downpours, sweltering heat and even the pitch .black of night. The boats were also employed in Operation DEFIANT STAND in September, a practice amphibious landing in Da Nang Harbor in October, and numerous trips to Red Beach, Tien Sha Landingtand Buckner Bay Boat Basin for those well- deserved and well-spaced liberty runs! Who could ever forget the comfortable wardrobe the boat group was sup lied with lflak iackets under kapok's with helmets or the outstanding night accomodations at the fuel barge inn, Da Nang! But with a hard-nosed effort we all survived the cruise and were very happy to see it end. elvis P.G. Brbbs BNI2 L. Brown 25? LTCjgJ A, Kerr SN D,w, Burtus x BlVl3 O.J, Dickinson SA J.T.
