| On August 29, 1968 Harold Carl Dailey II
gallantly gave his life in the service of our Country while participating in Operation
Sussex Bay in Quang Nam Province, Republic of VietNam, as the Platoon Commander of 3rd
Platoon, Bravo Company, First Tank Battalion in support of elements of the Seventh
Marines. On that day the force spear headed by Lima and Mike Companies, Third Battalion, Seventh Marines were in a defensive position in the Dodge City area southwest of Da Nang while awaiting the arrival of a Medical Evacuation Helicopter for other wounded Marines. Lt. Dailey fell victim to an enemy snipers bullet while in a strategy session with the Tank Commanders who were under his command. Lt. Dailey was a highly able and very dedicated leader and his first thoughts and concerns were always of the Marines under his command. He gallantly died in the line of duty preparing the Marines under his command for the pending operations. Lt. Harold Carl Dailey II is "Always Remembered" by those who had the "Honor" to know him and to serve under his command... My thanks to my friend, my leader and a outstanding individual... I'll never forget the times, that place and most of all you... |
