U.S. Marines getting ready for the final assault on Hill 881 in the northwestern corner of the country on May 3, 1967. They are crouching in hastily dug trenches and foxholes, waiting for air strikes and artillery to terminate their preparation. Marines, fighting for hilltops north of the Khe Sanh Special Forces camp paid a high price for the first three tops: 96 killed and 267 wounded.
