I watched the movie
"We were soldiers "
Lt. Colonel Hal Moore : [Hal Moore speaks to his men before going into battle] and says:
"Look around you. In the 7th cavalry, we've got a captain from the Ukraine; another from Puerto Rico. We've got Japanese, Chinese, Blacks, Hispanics, Cherokee Indians. Jews and Gentiles. All Americans. Now here in the states, some of you in this unit may have experienced discrimination because of race or creed. But for you and me now, all that is gone. We're moving into the valley of the shadow of death, where you will watch the back of the man next to you, as he will watch yours. And you won't care what color he is, or by what name he calls God. They say we're leaving home. We're going to what home was always supposed to be. Now let us understand the situation. We are going into battle against a tough and determined enemy."
Pauses and then adds
"I can't promise you that I will bring you all home alive. But this I swear, before you and before Almighty God, that when we go into battle, I will be the first to set foot on the field, and I will be the last to step off, and I will leave no one behind. Dead or alive, we will all come home together. So help me, God."
Lt. Colonel Hal Moore gave up his ghost on February 10th, 2017.
And Mel Gibson acted in a Movie We Were Soldiers Once detailing the battle of La Drang....where Nguyen Huu An the Viet Commander gave them a bloody nose.
This certainly was a great movie
