*SPECIAL NOTE:
*JAN C. SCRUGGS was the guy who founded and started "the VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL 
WALL
On one recon patrol near "The Fishnet" we got ambushed by a Squad of 6 Viet Cong in an 
open rice paddie, where we stood up and charged the Viet Cong ambush in a typical textbook
classic on line Infantry assault with M-16's on fully Automatic. The firefight ended in our 
favor. 
I was on three anphibious assaults off of a U.S Navy Landing Craft (LCM) (Landing Craft 
Marine) called "THE GREY GHOST)
On one Company operation my Company went up into the deep dark jungles of Bien Hoa, where 
we found 50, 100 lbs. of raw rice in an NVA Rice Cashe
On night we got a late night radio call asking us to make enemy contact in an area that was
not to far from our ambush site so we rowed down a canal in a snpan bamboo boat
were we ended up in engaging the enemy in my second "On Line Assault" only ths one was at 
night. 
The towns and hamlets we worked or encamped near in our NDP's we operated our combat 
Operations and Patrols were: Bien Hoa, Bear Cat, "The Fishnet", Binh Chanh, My Yen, 
"The Pineapple" and the Cambodian Border areas.
WE EXPIERIENCED ALOT OF MORTAR 
ATTACKS WITH COMMUNIST 82mm
MORTARS AT MY YEN.
Charlie Company 4/12 199th LIB had a firefight right next to our ambush site about 6:00pm 
near My Yen.
My Squad Leader SGT Richard Allen Thursby two weeks before he was killed stepped flat 
footed on a "Booby Trap Tripwire" and realizing what he did lowered a can of M-60 
Machinegun Ammo off his shoulder and set it down on the tripwire to hold it down until 
he could get off the wire and jump to safety. He then had us tie a roll of twine on to the 
canvas strap on the ammo can got down behind the rice paddy dyke pulled the ammo can off the
tripwire and blew the "booby trap" in place.
We operated in III Corps Tacticle Zone in War Zone C & D towards the Cambodian Border in 
Gia Dinh Province and a geographical area called the "Pineapple."
The Company Operations we went on included:
1969 TET Counter Offensive Phase I
Operation Strangler I
Operation Strangler II
Operation Strangler III
Operation Lulu
Operation Strangler IV
&
1969 TET Counter Offensive Phase I and Phase II
