Airdrops to Marines in Vietnam 1968

My husband is a Vietnam Veteran who served with the 101st Airborne Division, during 1967-1968. He suffers from PTSD, and the VA doesn't dispute that, however, his claim is being held up due to lack of evidence as to the stressors that cause this. As we all know it's so very difficult to prove who, what, and when things went on in Vietnam, because very little records were kept. Therefore, I'm trying to find some information where he possibly landed during an air drop with supplies being delivered to Marines in the field. In the early part (first quarter) of 1968 Brian jumpled (parachuted) with 6 loads of supplies being delivered to Marines that were practically out of everything including ammunition. Brian wasn't told nor does he know where he was dropped, however, he thinks it could possibly of been near Khea Sahn (? spelling). He retrieved the parachutes to be reused, and traveled with the Marines for almost 2 weeks before getting back with his own unit. If you remember anything like this or have any information that will help in my search, please write to me. Many thanks for your help. God bless you all. Welcome home! June
