Remembered by a friend.

A Note from The Virtual Wall

On 05 Dec 1965, during Operation BUSHMASTER II, the 2/2nd Inf became heavily engaged with an estimated VC regiment. They were supported by A/2/33rd Arty and reinforced by 2/28th Infantry. During what became known as the battle of Ap Nha Mat, the US units killed 301 VC, captured many weapons, and destroyed a main camp ... but there were 37 dead and 3 MIA from the 2/2 Infantry, and a Forward Observer from A/2/33 Arty also was killed in action. SP4 Julius Roberts was one of the 2/2 Infantry losses.
