..'WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE and YOUNG'.. 7th Cavalry Website ^ | 8/20/2002 | ALOHA RONNIE

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that Ronnie really, really liked this movie.

For the record, so did I. The best Vietnam War movie of all time.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thanks for the ping, Ronnie.

I'm probably not the first to suggest this, but if anyone from the studio stops by FR: tell your boss that Ronnie belongs on the pay roll. (^:

...We look forward to seeing your keen insightful perspective brought to viewing .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. in you own home...

...something that's worth protecting.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Joy, you aren't alone...a few generations were brainwashed by the leftists in Hollywood. I saw B.G. Burkett on a talk show a few years back and he opened my eyes. If you haven't, check out his series of articles based on his well-documented book Stolen Valor over at Newsmax (scroll down..."Rambo" link, etc.) Hollywood lied, Big Time. The more you learn about the real Vietnam War, the more you respect the troops and disrespect the lying media/press/Hollywood.

Ronnie, ping for Liberty Airport.

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you Ronnie. And I am finally going to Post Office tomorrow. Sorry it has taken me so long.

[goldilucky]

Rick Rescorla would have loved that. He symbolizes liberty...something that we must never forget.

A darn good movie!

[Destructor]

I guess the reason "We Were Soldiers" wasn't a big hit, because it portrayed Vietnam Era soldiers as heroes. Hollywood prefers the stereo-typical murderous, dope smoking, Tiger's tooth necklace wearing Vietnam soldier to the real thing!

NEVER FORGET

...The Scottish CLANN AN DRUMMA Group's.. singing of .."Sgt. MacKenzie"..

...as our 7th Cavalry's Helicopter Air Assault commences into the -Valley of Death- that was the IA DRANG of 1965...

...and then leaves after our Victory there...

...haunts.

...CLANN AN DRUMMA again sang .."Sgt. Mackenzie".. in person in Loving Memory of Sept. 11th Lifesaving Hero ..RICK RESCORLA.. at the State of New Jersey's Vietnam Veterans Memorial right across from our Statue of LIBERTY earilier this year in the prescence of widow ..Mrs. SUSAN RESCORLA.

Garry Owen, Aloha Ronnie. Saw the movie and just finished the book, both were great. Should be required reading for all citizens. Thanks for your service. A picture to bring back some memories. You can tell we were going home, the 60's are stowed.

SCOUTS OUT!

...Actually, in our Post 9-11 World .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. did just fine. With many movies opening to less BoX Office and then disappearing from screens after just a couple of weeks...

...RANDALL WALLACE's 'Braveheart in 'Nam Film stayed 15 weeks in theaters across the America, then opened up abroad in Japan, Germany, Spain, France, etc.

...Although it's No. 1 MEL GIBSON Weekend Opening March 1st didn't pull in as high a Box Office Gross as originally hoped, $20.2 Million, this outstanding Motion Picture had very long "Legs"..!

.."Legs" so long that it was decided to move up a planned November DVD/Video Release to August 2002. Theater Gross so far has been over $80 Million.

...Come Oscar Time USA...???

Thanks for the ping.

I know you will be interested to know that the book about Rick Rescorla will be released in 2 weeks or so. It's called HEART OF A SOLDIER by James B. Stewart. I have read it.... predict it will be a bestseller. You're gonna love it. I also predict that Rick's story will heal alot of soldiers, as he had to heal himself. This website will direct you to places you can order the book: http://www.calegionpost149.org/rescorla/

This is a website for the California Legion - they're raising funds to help erect a monument honoring Rick in his native Cornwall. Eventually, we will commission a statue of Rick, modeled after that famous photo on WWSOAY, and place it at Ft. Benning.

Garry Owen, Sir.

...How sweet it is to hear that ..RICK RESCORLA.. is about to get his just due before the American People for his saving so many lives over the decades...

...and for hounding down and turning over to Prosecutors, in partnership with his life long Army buddy DAN HILL, the Blind Muslim Cleric from the Brooklyn Mosque who was the Mastermind of the World Trade Center Bombing of 1993.

...As ..RICK RESCORLA.. himself always used to say...

.."This is the REAL DEAL...!!"
