...GOD, TonkinGulf ..how the ..'WE WERE SOLDIERS'.. piercing and touching at the same time Soundtrack is just going thru my head as I type and drive.

...The ..'WE WERE SOLDIERS'.. Soundtrack is stunning ..with JOHNNY CASH/Dave Matthews singing the "Ballad of HAL G. MOORE" ..'For You'.. followed by a wonderful ..'Some Mother's Son'.. sung by CAROLYN DAWN JOHNSON.

...It's just ...OUTSTANDING...!!!

I had the honor of buying the 1st ticket, for the 1st show in the theater I saw it in this afternoon.
THANK YOU for ALL YOU have done on this film.
I was hoping for "closure" BUT this movie made me realize that the TRUE stories of Viet Nam
must be told to our new generations.

Thanks for the review. I just came back a few minutes ago from watching "We were soldiers...." Finally a decent, powerful movie about Vietnam. You mentioned "Some mother's son.." Some years ago I returned from my second tour in Nam. While there I got a "souvenir" a towel and plastic belt off a dead Vietnamese soldier. I was going through some things and asked my mother who is now dead and hopefully in heaven if she would wash the towel for me and I told her the story. She began to cry. When questioned she said: "That towel belonged to some mothers son." I can't even think about that incident anymore because it make me so sad for her and that Vietnamese soldier.-----Movies like this one make me cry and make me sad and remind me of the greatness of America and of men like Ltc Moore and the soldiers who died and decent people like Mel Gibson. Mel Gibson shows that decent and holy people like himself can still survive even though surrounded with filthy leftist scumbags in Hollywood and can still give us hope for America and the human race.
