History of the TET COUNTEROFFENSIVE 1968
The Tet Counteroffensive was a series of major campaigns launched by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army during the Vietnam War. It was a direct response to the U.S. and South Vietnamese military’s offensive operations. The Tet Offensive began on January 30, 1968, during the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday, with the enemy launching a series of surprise attacks across South Vietnam. The offensive marked a turning point in the conflict, with the U.S. forces, including the Air Force, playing a pivotal role in repelling the attacks. Despite suffering heavy losses, the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong managed to create a psychological shockwave that greatly influenced American public opinion.
The Tet Counteroffensive is widely regarded as one of the most significant military campaigns of the Vietnam War, with U.S. forces, including extensive air support, ultimately regaining control of the contested areas. This Battle Streamer represents the resilience of the Air Force personnel who were instrumental in the success of the counteroffensive, providing airstrikes, reconnaissance, and support to ground forces throughout the intense fighting.
