	 Whoever is editing this page, maybe mention that one American was killed during this battle – 19-year-old PFC Alan Yukio Matsuura, Oʻahu, Hawai‘i, crew chief on a CH‑21 “flying banana” helicopter.  Two Americans were wounded, 19-year-old PFC Ken Fujimoto, Hawai‘i, Hawai‘i, who did not normally fly on missions, but volunteered that morning to fly as CH‑21 crew chief, and whose leg injury resulted in a record amount of time spent in the US Navy’s “Sài Gòn Station Hospital” before he could be evacuated back stateside, and 24-year-old 1st Lt John B Givhan, a CH‑21 pilot from southern Alabama, an Alabama Polytechnic Institute (now Auburn University) graduate, who lost a leg after a  missile came through the cockpit floor and took off his right leg off below the knee. <
