Roy Benavidez | Recon Under Fire

On May 2, 1968, two six-man MACV-SOG Special Forces teams found their covert reconnaissance operation severely compromised. Miles behind enemy lines, they were pinned down under the relentless fire from hundreds of advancing North Vietnamese soldiers.

Like the mutilated crewmembers of the three helicopters that had attempted to land and extract them, four of the Special Forces men were now dead, the remaining eight men all severely wounded, running low on both ammunition and their own blood.

Carrying only his recon Bowie knife and a med bag, a young Army Green Beret named Roy would be the only hope for those surviving eight men.

This is Part Two of the story of Roy Benavidez, Six Hours in Hell.
