Michael couldn't believe Sergeant Hanson wanted him to walk point. Great. The most dangerous job in the outfit and they were giving it to a guy who hadn't even been there two weeks. Michael knew things could only get worse. Rumor had it that they were headed for combat assault to secure Hill 568, a hornet's nest of NVA regulars. It looked like a big operation, and in Vietnam, big usually meant bad. For Michael, Snoopy, Finnegan, Viper, and the rest of the guys in Echo Company, Hill 568 was a nightmare they would never forget.
