Noteworthy Marines
Sgt. Chuck Mawhinney was a sniper in Vietnam with 103 confirmed kills. An additional 216 kills were unconfirmed because it was too risky to search for the results. The rifle he used is now on display in the Vietnam Gallery at the National Museum of
the Marine Corps.
Back in the Day
Jan. 22, 1969:
Operation Dewey Canyon was perhaps the most successful high-mobility regimental-size action of the Vietnam War. It began in the A Shau/Da Krong Valleys when the 9th Marine Regiment and supporting artillery were lifted from Quang Tri. By mid-March, more than 500 tons of weapons and ammunition were unearthed and the enemy had suffered 1,617 casualties.
