Khe Sanh Combat Base tour
Khe Sanh was the scene of the longest siege in Vietnam War. In early 1968, some 6000 US Marines at Khe Sanh Combat Base and surrounding hill outposts were besieged by some 20,000 NVA troops. The NVA forces constantly and heavily bombarded the base with artillery and the hill outposts were attacked and cut off from the main base.
After 77 day siege, the US Marines closed and abandoned Khe Sanh base camp.
Today, Khe Sanh Combat Base is reclaimed as a war memorial and tourist attraction.
