Fighting To The End

 

 

 "I shall never repent having done what I did, nor complain about the consequences of my captivity. (17 Years) If history were to repeat itself, I would choose the same path. By so doing, I know from experience that I would lose everything but HONOR."
Brigadier General Tran Quang Khoi, ARVN

 

During the final days of the Vietnam War, I commanded the ARVN III Armor Brigade and III Corps Assault Task Force (ATF) throughout III Corps Tactical Zone and in defense of the City of Bien Hoa against the final Communist offensive in South Vietnam. For twenty years since the fall of South Vietnam on 30 April 1975, I have read many articles by both Communist and Free-World writers. Many of them are ambiguous or inexact, especially when referring to actions east of and in Bien Hoa.

Some even distort the truth and wound the honor of III Armor Brigade/III Corps ATF, so I have an obligation to both the living and the dead to correct the record so as not to be ungrateful to the heroes who willingly followed me and fought to the very last minute of the war.
