The Tet Offensive


Actual Date: 05/20/10
Historical Date: February 1, 1968
Its been two days since the surprise attack by the Viet Cong. There was supposed to be a cease fire on Tet, some holiday marking in the beginning of spring. They over ran us, we were unprepared and they just walked right in. I ran as fast as I could with the other men in my unit. My heart is still pounding and I’m still shaking even as I write this. We’re heading back to Kontum to see if anyone is still around. To be honest, after today, I don’t think we’ll win this war. (2)
