...After his Victory at the Battle of IA DRANG-1965...
...Lt. Col. HAL G. MOORE (MEL GIBSON) hand wrote out his -Letters of Condolances- to all the nearly 500 Families and Loved Ones of our 7th Cavalry's Killed and Wounded in that Battle.
...He wrote them up...
...I typed them up, as Battalion S-1 Personnel Clerk, for mailing back home, some thru Mrs. JULIE MOORE back in Columbus GA to pass on to Wives of the Fallen.
...So, as you might imagine, the most meaningful part of .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. for me was when Mrs. BARBARA GEOGHEGAN was shown reading her -Letter of Condolance- from Lt. Col. MOORE, and all that it meant, at the end of the Movie.
Thanks for seeing .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".., my Friend. Appreciate.
GARRY OWEN, Sir
