Ft. Gordon still stands, when were you there? I was there 1967-68, went through Signal OCS, liked the area. Movie was filmed in part at Ft. Benning over in Columbus.

Just saw "We Were Soldiers". Outstanding. Sam Peckinpah would have been proud as it's not for the squeamish. If you see only one movie the rest of your life, make it this one. For liberal idiots, or people who don't like this movie, i'm sure Crossroads or Glitter may be playing in the same theater as it's more their speed. It's hard to describe this movie as just a movie, any criticisms would just be nit picking. Go see it for yourself.

Just got back from seeing it, too. Outstanding movie.

I came out of the theater emotionally drained from the slap of reality across my face.

God Bless our soldiers.

I just saw "We Were Soldiers" this afternoon.

It was an excellent movie. Horrific as it was, I'm proud of those soliders who died for their country. They make me proud to be an American.

I lost it when Mel Gibson was talking to the photographer guy at the end of the movie and said "I'm sad that MY MEN died and I didn't." God Bless Hal Moore. Although, I wasn't even born yet at that time, I am forever grateful for all of our vets who have fought for the very freedom I have.

You'll be great on JW.

I took basic and Signal AIT there... 65-66, 72B20. Ended up in Germany with the 4th Armored Division, 144th Signal Battalion. Spit and polish along with heavy starch, every day. I will see the movie Monday afternoon.

Even a movie Sergeant Major who walks, talks, acts and fights like a real SGM.

You mean that CSM Rolf Schoolman is in the movie!?

...Golly, Gee and ALOHA MotleyGirl70...

...Thanks for listening and...

...Thanks for your caring.

...We IA DRANG-1965 Vets owe the ..'Braveheart'.. Crew much for sharing our Story from long ago for the now in a new -Time of War-.

...To win at war ..Americans MUST always take care of each other on the Battlefield and at Home.

...For Enemy Within TOM DASCHLE (D) to attack a BUSH Administration that is at such great a risk that it has to do a Split-Screen Government .."Just in Case"... is Treasonable.

Better than a welcome home parade...

Not quite. But it'll do for starters.

Finally Hollywood got it right.

Already it's started. The weekend section of today's Wall Street Journal panned this film big time. I don't remember the reviewer's name, but I wonder what he was doing when his fellow citizens were dying for their country.

I work at the tank gunnery range at Ft. Hunter-Ligget where the battle scenes were filmed last spring. I took time off work to see the first matinee today. Awesome movie !! So many emotions. Better than "Blackhawk Down." Thank you for your service in behalf of our country.

...Tonight on the FoX News Channel's ..'The O'REILLY Factor'.. Host ..BILL O'REILLY.. told his Guest ..MEL GIBSON.. that ..'WE WERE SOLDIERS'.. may be more than just a Movie.

.."It may be an EVENT".. BILL continued... that makes Americans finally appreciate the utter bravery of those young American soldiers in the -Valley of Death- that was the IA DRANG-1965 as they took care of each other to VICTORY while being surrounded by horrendous odds.

...An example from long ago for us now...?

...This great ..MEL GIBSON.. Segment repeats itself in the last 15 minutes of this hour on the FoX News Channel.

Great movie Ronnie. If you remember, I was the first to hear about this project on FR (I think) and I've been waiting excitedly for months. It was worth the wait.
