You’re most welcome.

“We Were Soldiers” is one of the finest — and most accurately made — films in ANY genre.

I guess I’ve seen it 40 times. I suspect I’ll watch it a lot as Obama proceeds to destroy our ability to defend ourselves.

Still lose it when Willie Goboldt’s wive reacts to HER telegram. One of the most powerful scenes — ever.

If the telegram reaction scene you refer to is the black woman on the porch that goes into immediate denial, I agree that it is a powerful scene but that could not have been Godboldt’s wife. Willie Godboldt was a Private First Class, the woman in that scene had previously been shown at a meeting of the officers’ wives with the speech about not using the laundromat in town because it barred blacks.
