William G. McGowan Theater
Washington, DC

Between April 30 and May 2, 1968, U.S. Marines of the 2nd Battalion, 4th Regiment (known as “The Magnificent Bastards”) engaged the North Vietnamese Army at the Battle of Dai Do. Outnumbered three to one, the Marines ultimately prevailed in one of the most significant victories of the war. Brig. Gen. (Ret.) William “Wild Bill” Weise, commander of the battalion, will moderate a discussion about the Battle of Dai Do featuring veterans of the conflict.
