This review is from: Sky soldier: Battles of Dak-To (Paperback)

I served with MSG Lawrence Okendo in 1967 during the hill battles around Dak To in the Central Highlands of S.Vietnam. He was one of the most aggressive and hard charging paratroopers from the old days of brown boot paratroopers I ever met. One hell of a good soldier and he really cared for his men. being with the 173d Airborne brigade during the Hill Battles, he has written to me at least and a lot of other guys' who were there, the most authoritative and accurate troop movement assessment of all the actions the Skysoldiers' fought in from The Battle of The Slopes, Hill 823, 830 and the ultimate name maker of the 173d Airborne Brigade HILL 875. If your interested in one particular paratrooper unit and how we fought the NVA, then this book should be in your library. I will miss MSG Lawrence Okendo. He taught me a lot as a soldier, a man and as paratrooper!!!
