The Battle of Hill 881

For 12 days in 1967, two battalions of Marines defeated several NVA battalions dug in on hills near Khe Sanh. After aerial bombardments and numerous assaults on the hills, the heavily-outnumbered Marines eventually took the objective, killing nearly 1000 NVA soldiers. 155 Marines were killed and 455 wounded during the battle.

Time magazine covered the battle in a May, 1967 issue.
