                <![CDATA[My guess is Quang Ngai, too -- Dewey Canyon was a sweep of the A Shau, and Vandergrift Combat Base was in Quang Ngai.<br />

                <![CDATA[Unfortunate that SSgt Connor's citation lists a fictitious province (Quang Nag). I suspect it was Quang Nam, where I served too.<br />
