Download As PDF : HEROES’ HILL A Short Look Back at The Best of Khe Sanh eBook Robert F Burgess 
This almost 10,000 word short story is a quick look back at a few highlights from the 77-day battle to save Khe Sanh during the Vietnam War in 1967. No one would imagine that there could be any humorous events happening when you are fighting for your life, but there were two or three of them. Marine Barry Fixler’s fall from a helicopter might not seem funny except to the Vietnamese soldier waiting to see him go splat and all he did was bounce, bounce, bounce. And he lived! Absolutely true.
None of these stories will ever make it into the military history books, so here they are. They are all true and came straight out of memoirs of those who fought that nightmarish battle. If the chapter titled Mannion’s Birthday Bash doesn’t make you at least feel fuzzy warm inside for the poor fellow, then maybe reading about the unusual gift a guy got in a letter from his girlfriend will at least cheer you up a bit. It sure did for the rest of his buddies!

Pass on this one! I'm not sure what it was suppose to be: a short story, a snippet of the siege of Khe Sanh, or "I couldn't sleep one night and wrote a short story based on other books that I've read". If you want to read about the battle for Khe Sanh and the surrounding hills read Barry Fixher's "Semper Cool: One Marine's ...". Mr Fixher was there and he tells it like it was! Another good read is Gregg Jones' Last Stand at Khe Sanh. Both are excellent books and I believe they are in the Kindle library.Product details

My older brother was a captain in the Marines and was surrounded at KheSahn for 45 days. He returned to the states when they were rescued.
Insightful and interesting glimpse into a part of the war in Vietnam. May we forever remember the sacrifices made by our brothers embroiled in the conflict of southeast Asia.
I missed that hill but had 2 friends that were there. Book tells it about the same way I heard it from them.
