Thanks for the posting
Of interest to me is where this Galloway piece was presented. And what else was going on here at that time which by the way if one was honorably discharged still could not join the American Legion or the VFW because it was not considered an active combat theater .
.
..”this piece” first appeared in the U.S. News and World Report Magazine, written by U.S. News and World Report Reporter Joe Galloway. Positive response was so heavy, that Galloway and my Battle of IA DRANG-1965 Battalion Commander Lt. Col. Hal G. Moore went on to finish writing their Best Selling “We Were Soldiers Once...and Young” Book. This became the basis of Randall Wallace’s 2002 Braveheart in Vietnam Motion Picture titled “WE WERE SOLDIERS.”
