It was just past midnight on Jan. 31, 1968. The lull of the Tet lunar New Year holiday had settled across South Vietnam–and the United States was within minutes of the pivotal point from which it eventually lost the Vietnam War.
While Army Spec. 4 Charles L. Daniel stood guard at the U.S. Embassy in Saigon, Nguyen Van Sau of the Viet Cong’s C-10 battalion sped toward him in a taxi. Before it was over, Daniel and Sau were dead. So were more than 81,000 other Americans and Vietnamese.
Paul Wedel (UPI), Los Angeles Times, January 31, 1988
The Embassy is NAM’s another Airsoft event from the Full Plastic Jacket series related to various episodes of the Vietnam War. The historical background of the meeting is the attack on the American Embassy conducted by members of the elite C-10 VC Sapper Battalion during the early stages of the Tet Offensive on January 31, 1968.
More details for English-speaking Airsoft fans are available via e-mail. The event is also available at our FB fanpage.
