In past Carroll Eagle Archives columns we have shared the
stories of some of the eighteen fallen heroes from the Vietnam War who faces
are etched in the black granite memorial in the Carroll County Vietnam Memorial
Park on Willis Street.
The stories of Frederick John Magsamen, Christopher Jesse
Miller, Jr., Stanley Groomes, Joseph William Blickenstaff, Herbert Eugene
Mulkey, Jr., James Norman Byers and Sherman E. Flanagan, Jr., have been told.
I cannot imagine what Private Kenny went through. He was
light weapons grunt and left Mount Airy Maryland in the idealistic mid-1960s to
be dropped into the Battle of Battle of Ia Drang and then right into the Battle
of Bong Son… Up against the NVA 22nd and the the Sao Vang - Yellow
Star – Division, 2nd VC Main Force Regiment…
On November 17, 1966, the 7th Cavalry 2nd
Battalion lost 150 American soldiers in 16 hours at LZ Albany northwest of Plei
Me in the Central Highlands – 35 miles from Pleiku…
Kenny was killed in action in the ‘Iron Triangle’ region of
Binh Dinh province, in Vietnam Feb. 19, 1966, along with Sgt. Elzie Jefferson
Collins, Jr., and Sgt. Freddie Wallace Green. This was soon after the Battle of
Bong Son – Operation Irving, January 28 to February 12, 1966.
Bong Son was essentially the second major battle of the war,
not that long after the 5th Cavalry had been engaged in the Battle of Ia Drang,
November 14-18, 1965, also in Binh Dinh. Many know Binh Dinh as where An Khe
and Camp Radcliff were located – not far from Camp Holloway airfield at Pleiku.
Kenny had entered the Army following graduation. In November
1965 he was stationed in central-coastal Vietnam in an area remembered for its
heavy combat and high American casualties at the time.
Kenny was deployed with C Company, 1st Battalion, 5th
Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division; which can trace its roots as far back
as 1855, when it was organized and deployed in Texas in the Native American
Plains Wars. The 5th Calvary regiment participated in twelve campaigns in
Vietnam.
The area known as the Iron Triangle was a heavily fortified
position about 12-miles below Bong Son in the hills south and east of the Kim
Son Valley, and was defended by a combined Viet Cong (VC) – North Vietnamese
Army (NVA) force that included the Sao Vang - Yellow Star – Division, 2nd VC
Main Force Regiment, and the acclaimed NVA 22nd Regiment.
We remember PFC Kenny. God Bless him. Memorial Day is
important…
Very little has been written about Private First Class (PFC)
Kenny. In my research I came across a You Tube, “An Khe, Vietnam; “Films of 1st
Cavalry Air Mobile at An Khe, Vietnam, filmed between December 1965 and January
1966…” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD81o3yYwV0
“Films of 1st Cavalry (Air Mobile) at An Khe, Vietnam,
filmed between December 1965 and January 1966. Films were done as part of a
briefing for the Army leadership.”
