Historie

If you want to uncover more about some of the Vietnam War’s most courageous American heroes, then keep on reading… Not many historic events have had such a strong impact on the way we see and live our nation’s values as the Vietnam War.

Entering the conflict to defend democracy and fight against the communists, countless Americans departed towards the unknown in the mid-60s.

One of these units of brave men was the 173rd Airborne Brigade, better known as the “Sky Soldiers,” or simply as “the Herd.”

During their six years in Vietnam, they fought relentlessly against the communist forces.

This book tells the story of their involvement during the early years of the war and pays tribute to the great accomplishments they achieved during that time to prevent the collapse of democracy in Vietnam.

In this book, you will discover:

The early stages of the war: The events that led to the start of the Vietnam War and why the US had to get involved • When the Sky Soldiers entered Vietnam – everything you need to know about this exceptional division War Zone D Operations: The importance of Operations HUMP, MARAUDER, and CRIMP • The Battle of Dak To: A test in toughness and resilience Operation JUNCTION CITY: historical facts about the only combat parachute jump of the Vietnam War • Citations and Honors: Remembering the Herd Famous personalities of the 173rd: How courageous and charismatic leaders shaped the Sky Soldiers And much more.

Keep the memory of our war heroes alive and remember their bravery.
