Hey Freepers!

Just noticed that Mel Gibson's "We Were Soldiers" is going to be on in just a few minutes: 2:30 pm East Coast on TNT.

Care to join me?

Excellent movie. Excellent book. Will be there when family leaves to go shopping. They don’t enjoy it.

The book was very moving.

I watch my DVD about every month our two. The voice over is really good.

Good Movie! Maybe the prez elect can watch it and think back to when his freinds were were blowing up police stations to protest this war!

As long as your ping Aloha Ronnie. Haven't seen him around much but he was there. He was Moore's radio man.

I have the DVD, besides, I was there. Watching NFL instead.

From Kelly Hill to An Khe to La Drang Valley, to NVA Route 60 to Plei Trap Valley. Great memories that I will pass on for now to see NFL Football.

Thanks for your service to your country and for your sacrifice.

My favorite line:
“Oh, and Dear Lord, about our enemies? Ignore their heathen prayers and help us blow those little b@stards straight to hell. Amen.”

I call THAT a warrior!
