My intel sergeant in my last squadron was in on that raid. We had an aerial photo hanging on the wall in the S-2 office of the downed CH-53s in the surf. IIRC, they were shot down by RPGs.

The Mayaguez ship recapture with Maj. Porter & Co came off unopposed, no casualties.

More importantly, welcome home, Marine. We took far too long bringing you home.
