On June 13, 1966, the 1st Recon Battalion of the 1st Marine Division found themselves stationed on Hill 488, where they would soon engage in an epic battle that led to them becoming the most highly decorated small unit in U.S. military history. Facing an overwhelming force of 25-to-1, the 16 marines and two navy corpsmen fought valiantly through a harrowing night. Their extraordinary courage and determination under fire resulted in numerous prestigious awards, with every defender either killed or wounded as they awaited reinforcements.
