ORIGINAL: scott1964 Request: Need a month and day from 1955 until 1983. May 17, 1967 May 17, 1967 Battle of Xom Bo II. This battle began when several 1st Infantry Division units decided to walk into their LZ about 40 miles NNE Saigon rather than be airlifted in. Intel reports had four companies of the 271st VC Regiment in ambush around the LZ. The enemy was thrown off guard and suffered 222 casualties before the 1st Inf Div units were finished.
