James Vibbert emailed in a request to post the photo of his Uncle Carlos D Vibbert. As a result, the story was also posted for the other 8 men listed as killed in the same contact. -- The Virtual Wall, 09/23/2012 |
On 7 September at 1520 hours (3:20 pm), C Company, 3rd Battalion, while
conducting Eagle Flight Operations, was inserted into a "Hot" landing zone at grid coordinates XT 560 266.
The initial platoon of C Company was immediately reinforced with the remainder of C Company, B & D Companies,
and the Reconnaissance Platoon as the contact rapidly increased and the enemy force was estimated as a battalion
with numerous mortars, automatic and crew-served weapons and Rocket Propelled Grenades.
