It was in the start of 1968, while serving as a gunnery sergeant with Company A, First Battalion, First Marines, First Marine Division that Canley would carry out his most notable actions. The Tet Offensive had started, with North Vietnamese soldiers rushing and seizing much of the city of Hue. Canley and Company A moved in to relieve pinned down Americans. Over the course of several days the Marines fought through the city, retaking it bit by bit. After the company commander was wounded, Canley took over the company and put himself at risk multiple times to rescue wounded Marines. He himself was wounded but continued to lead attacks on North Vietnamese positions.
