In the evening of June 28, 1967, 150 young Americans were sworn into the Marine Corps as part of the pregame ceremonies of a Minnesota Twins baseball game. Before the end of the fourth inning, they were being hustled onto busses to begin a trip that would change their lives forever. From baseball to bootcamp: In a matter of a few months, the bulk of the Twins Platoon would be in Vietnam. In fact, they would just be settling into their duties as combat Marines when they would be faced with some of the toughest fighting of the war, the Siege of Khe Sanh and the Tet Offensive, including the brutal Battle for Hue.
