The Movie We Were Soldiers was based off the actual battle. I have talked with more than 30 actual heroes from the battle always trying to find more. 400 US soldiers of the 1/7, Against 4000 highly trained VC and the US came out with a win even tho the odds were well against them. I would like to talk with them if possible.

First answer was horrible. Yes Fonda is a traitor and a whore. It's not opening wounds for these men were in one of the worse battles of the war and the men that talked were all gracious in telling me their stories. These were from the commander (Ret)Lt Gen Hal Moore all the way to UPI writer Joe galloway that covered the battle.

Wish I did, it would be very enlightening to hear their side of the story.
Saw the movie, and was very impressed with it. Best movie about 'Nam I've ever seen.

You might be able to find more names to look up in the book.
I've started reading the book and for an account of such a horrible battle, there is some beautifully written imagery in it.
I also agree with the second answer. What an enlightening experience it must be to hear first-hand accounts of something like that.
