Night Rescue at Loc Ninh
The "Night Rescue at Loc Ninh" refers to a daring operation during the Vietnam War, where U.S. forces undertook a perilous nighttime mission to extract besieged personnel from the town of Lộc Ninh, located near the Cambodian border in South Vietnam. This operation exemplified the bravery and tenacity of the soldiers involved, as they navigated hostile territory under the cover of darkness to rescue their comrades.
Lộc Ninh held strategic significance during the war and was the site of multiple engagements, including the First Battle of Lộc Ninh in late 1967. The town's proximity to the Cambodian border made it a focal point for military operations and confrontations between U.S., South Vietnamese, and North Vietnamese forces. The night rescue mission stands out as a testament to the courage and commitment of those who risked their lives to save others amidst the complexities of the Vietnam War.
