Point Man, Roger Helle

clippers remarks: ?I want to believe that some of our politicians are just blinded to the truth of what we are facing, but reality tells me that there are some in politics who hate everything that this country stands for and want to see us defeated, again, by our enemies. But this enemy is unlike any that we have ever faced. May God help us to stand for what we believe, or we will certainly fall before the onslaught of radical Islam.??Sgt. Roger Helle (USMC Ret.)


Veterans Day Profile: Point Man, Roger Helle

?I?m Sgt. Helle?s brother. How is he?? asked Roger?s twin brother, Ron, also an E-5, USMC. ?I?m sorry son, but your brother is going to die,? the physician responded tersely. That was July 1970, China Beach, Vietnam.

In an instant, gunfire erupted and a series of ?daisy-chain? explosions propelled Roger and two other Marines over the vegetation into an adjacent rice paddy. As he slowly recovered from the shock of the concussion generated by the explosions, he could see green tracers from VC weapons cutting up and down the trail.

The ambush was over as quickly as it began, and more than 60 VC emerged like ghosts from the bamboo, killed the wounded Marines on the trail, collected their weapons and disappeared.
