Trích đoạn:
Instead of the make-believe combat town at The Basic School, 2dLt Leo Myers from Alva, OK found himself in the ancient city of Hue, the third largest city in Vietnam with a population of 140,000 people. More than 5,000 NVA troops comprising 16 battalions had taken over the city on the second day of Tet, on 31 January 1968. For 12 days 2dLt Myers led his 1st Platoon, H/2/5 Marines in the bloody street-by-street fighting against an enemy that was so fanatical that some NVA soldiers were found chained to their heavy machineguns to ensure that they would not flee against the attacking Marines. 2dLt Myers would be the second classmate to be awarded a Silver Star for his heroic actions on 11 February 1968.
