2/9 1972 Was designated as BLT 2/9 during the 1972 Easter Offensive and took part in the same operations that 1/9 did during that period of the Vietnam War. We were all on ships that supported combat operations by the South Vietnamese military defending itself against the invasion from the North. Operation Song Than-6 was supported with ships, Landing Craft, Choppers and Naval firepower. Operation Linebacker continued above our heads, Lam Son 19 was in place, etc etc,, 3/9 was sent to Bien Hoa and elements of 2/9 were transfered to 3/9 to strengthen 3/9s replacements to and from India and Kilo Companies. Although equally active as 1/9 I have never understood why 2/9 has been slighted by history, However in the History Book "The War that would not End" it is noted that "BLT 2/9" was destined to service in anomitity! and so it did.
