“A Marine sergeant notified me that a group of five wounded Marines needed a Med Evac. One of the helicopter pilots called me and stated he would attempt the Med Evac if I could radar vector him to the site. … We were under no-fly conditions and the base runway was closed. He stated if I could get there, he would attempt to pick the wounded Marines up…

“He took off and I vectored him to the site and with typical Marine skill, he picked up the five wounded Marines. I vectored him to a hospital ship off shore in the Gulf of Taokin. The Marines were in a hospital in less than an hour.

“We never learned how well the wounded Marines recovered. We had done the very best we could possibly do as Marines for other Marines under trying circumstances.“
