Vietnam

Khe Sanh, a remote but strategic outpost near the Laos border, was facing a full-scale siege by the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) in January 1968. The NVA finally launched its attack on the morning of January 21, 1968.

The NVA predicted Khe Sanh would be an overwhelming victory for them, one that would force the U.S. to sue for peace. The Marines of Khe Sanh thought otherwise. Their determination and bravery prevented the North Vietnamese from ever penetrating U.S. defenses.
