Summary of Gary Linderer's Six Silent Men...Book Three - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Ranger Sergeant Riley Cox was a survivor. He had been severely wounded in the stomach, arm, and neck on a November 20, 1968, heavy team mission with F Company, 58th Infantry, but he had returned to the unit nearly a year later in the fall of 1969. #2 The patrol reached the trail markers, and as they were about to check them out, an NVA unit attacked them.
The rest of the Rangers opened fire, and the enemy soldiers were sent back into the trees. #3 The Ranger team and the Kit Carson scout continued to throw fragmentation grenades at the enemy, keeping them at bay. The medevac arrived and lifted Holloway out, but the accompanying Cobra gunships were taking heavy ground fire. The Americans decided to extract both teams at that time. #4 The US Army Rangers were trained to fill any role on the team.
If the team leader or assistant team leader went down, there was always someone who could step up and take over the leadership role.
