Protecting the perimeter during the final evacuation was the machine gun squad of PFC Gary L. Hall, Lcpl. Joseph N. Hargrove and Pvt. Danny G. Marshall. They had run out of ammunition and were ordered to evacuate on the last helicopter. It was their last contact. Maj. McNemar and Maj. James H. Davis made a final sweep of the beach before boarding the helicopter and were unable to locate them. They were declared Missing in Action.
Pfc. Hall was a 1974 Holmes High School graduate. He was one of more than 200 Marines who landed on Cambodia's Koh Tang island May 15, 1975, to rescue the crew of the SS Mayaguez. A heavily armed contingent of the Khmer Rouge was already there. The Marines opted for evacuation. They had made an unsuccessful sweep of the beaches when they left without Pfc. Hall and two other members of a machine gun crew. They were declared missing in action and are presumed dead
