Mark Tempest’s EagleSpeak has a short post about the Vietnam War Operation Market Time. It included a couple of links I have added to my Heritage page.
- “The U. S Coast Guard in Vietnam: Achieving Success in a Difficult War”, and
- “Market Time,” Naval History and Heritage Command
Particularly the first provides a good overview of how much combat the Coast Guard was actually in.
