U.S. Marine and Navy veterans recall their experiences from Operation Starlite during the Vietnam War. In August of 1965 the U.S. mounted an offensive against the 1st Viet Cong Regiment south of the U.S. air base in Chu Lai. Starlite was the first regimental sized battle of the Vietnam War and was also the first combined vertical envelopment and amphibious assault in history conducted by U.S. forces.
