Well the last battle of the VN war was the battle of Koh Tang in 1975. Three Marines were left on the island and the Khymer Rouge executed them. So I doubt being born in 1957 you would have been there. 1955 maybe. Seems like there were some born in 1955 were there for a little while but I'll bet not in any combat role for sure.
