I have the book and could only watch the movie once. For the record, Bangor Troop greeting was started by a Veteran from that battle. George Nye didn't want our troops treated in the same manner he was treated when he returned home.

ALOHA armymarinemom,
I rememeber being blessed to have embraced Pfc JIMMY D. NAKAYAMA's now grown lovely daughter at our 2003 IA DRANG Alumni Conference, JIMMY being Sergeant GEORGE NYE's good Battle of IA DRANG Brother who died on the day of his own daughter's birth.
I am reading that GEORGE NYE died of a heart attack in 1991 while decorating a Christmas Tree in Bangor, Maine for our returning Gulf War Heroes.
Sacrifice begets Sacrifice,
for the LOVE itself,
non-stop, in this hero's case..?
