Operation Tayor Common
I have tried for decades to add very significant information to Wikipedia's writeup on Operation Taylor Common (Vietnam). Under the list of U.S. Marine units 2nd Battalion,1st Marine Regiment, is NOT depicted. It never has been. It's a disgrace that it has not been added. I know. I was a Marine lnfantry Platoon Sergeant during this operation. As we fought in close combat, my platoon suffered several casulaties. As the medevac helo took off loaded with dead and injured Marines. It was shot down. It was later recovered. An officer from one of 2/1's adjacent companies - lt John Moore- was killed by a mine. 2/1 fought until Christmas Eve, 1968. We forced marched back to our combat base, Cau Ha, day and night, while receiving enemy fire. I'll be 79 soon. I want 2/1 listed because they earned it. They fought our enemy as hard or perhaps harder, than any other unit. FYI, l also do NOT see the South Korean Marines listed. Our platoon hooked up with them. Perhaps they were in their regular operational area; not officially part of Operation Taylor Common (OTC). If they were part of OTC. they MUST be listed! Please assist me soon in this significant oversight. This is historical information. It probably means most to the families of those killed, those injured, and all the combat veterans who served.
