Thank you for your very nice remarks in #77 on Thread One. You sound like so many good people on FR. I know I shouldn't do this, but every since Nam I have used that experience as a gauge as to whether I would have liked to have served with someone or not. I've talked to other vets who do the same kind of thing. More often than not, on FR, I find the kind of people I would be willing to go back to Vietnam with. Thanks for being one of them.

Aloha... I have the script. I'm sorry to inform you that the movie will be a huge disappointment to folks who've read the book and for the Ia Drang vets. You will be surprised to know that the guy on the book cover [I take it that you know who he is] is not portrayed in the movie... might detract from Mel's phoney heroics... nor is the 2nd of the 7th mentioned, except derogatorily... what an insult... the 2nd saved Moore's arse... then they rescued Albany... just look on the Wall, man.... the 2nd took more casualties than any unit in Nam...
Then there's the bugle... Everyone in the 7th knows who took the bugle.... and everyone who knows will recognize that lie. At least the book is, and always will be, great.

I treasure your words from # 79 on Thread One. So many have validated my feelings about Joe Galloway's speech. The really interesting thing is that reading it doesn't come close to what it was like standing on the grounds of the Wall watching a bunch of tough 50 and 60 year olds, tears on their cheeks, in stunned silence as he finished. I know I'll never be the same.
