I just saw We Were Soldiers on DVD. Its a great war movie. You have to admire both the general and the men he led in Ia Drang Valley in the Central Highlands in the face of an enemy with superior numbers and arms and being totally surrounded. Its a good look at soldiers as husbands and fathers not just warriors. What I liked about is that it finally gives our Vietnam Vets the gratitude and appreciation they should have gotten back then. Whatever one's personal feelings about the war, our soldiers got a raw deal on coming back home. Its time to remember them as the heroes they were and how much they sacrificed for their country. Looking at 7th Calvary Company's exploits on the field of battle brings tears to one's eyes and makes one proud to be an American. God Bless America.
