I read the book and just finished the movie. I also appreciated having the deleted scenes because I really missed having the unit march in formation at the end. It is in the deleted scenes. I thought the movie was quite well done and was very respectful of our men.

I will always be grateful for our brave soldiers who fought in Nam. I will never forgive the politicians and the idiot Generals who used the war for personal gain.

Thanks to all you Viet Nam vets who are Freepers.

NEVER FORGET

...RANDALL WALLACE's purpose was to make a Motion Picture of HEALING, for both our Veterans and our still confused Country.

...I am hearing from Veterans Administration Personnel that it's been their experience with handling Veterans of all our Modern Day Wars that...

.."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. has been just such a HEALING. What a Gift...?

...RANDALL WALLACE should know...

...as his father died the morning of September 11, 2001.

...I too should know, for my own Father died just two days before.

...Mrs. SUSAN RESCORLA knows too well...

...as it was her husband RICK...

...Hero of the Battle of IA DRANG-1965, WTC Bombing-1993 and the WTC-Airstrikes-2001...

...who gave all that he had that 2nd Day of Infamy while saving the lives of 1,000's of others before Tower 2 came down on him as he was making his final sweep up there for any stragglers. Just like he did at Landing Zone X-Ray long, long ago.

...Lt. RICK RESCORLA =

...Graces the Cover of .."WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE and YOUNG".. and the Top of the -Home Page- of...

.. www.lzxray.com ..

...for great cause.


GARRY OWEN, Sir, and WELL DONE.

NEVER FORGET
