Grunt 0311: Reflections of a Marine Rifleman

GEORGE P. BERG served in the US Marine Corps as an infantry rifleman and fire team leader. As a lance corporal, he was deployed southwest of Da Nang and participated in Operation ALLEN BROOK out of Go Noi and in multiple unnamed operations. He completed many company-sized combat sweeps and led fire teams in small unit ambushes. He also acted as "shotgun" for rough-rider convoy escorts.

George was awarded two Purple Hearts, the Presidential Unit Citation, Navy-Marine Corps combat action ribbon, and the national defense service ribbon among other medals.
