This has been bugging me for days. It was a war movie, based in Vitanem (I think). I think Bruce Willis is in it (although I am not sure). Its about a group of soldiers who are being overun, and a reporter who was there to take pictures had to fight too. Also, at home, the wifes of the soldiers take over the duty of deliverying letters informing the wifves about their dead husbands from some guy in a taxi. I know this isn't much info, but I want to know what the movie is called.

Sounds like We Were Soldiers (2002)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Were_Soldiers
Commanding the air cavalry unit, LTC Hal Moore (Mel Gibson), is a born leader committed to his troops who is getting ready for the first battle of the Vietnam War. The story line is how he leads his men into the Ia Drang Valley in Vietnam.
The story also talks about the minor plot back at home where Moore's wife (Madeleine Stowe) along with another wife take over the job of delivering telegrams informing relatives of soldiers deaths to relatives that live at Fort Benning, the units base of operation. Before leaving for service in Vietnam, Moore delivers a touching speech to his unit.
Mel Gibson - Lt. Col. Hal Moore
Madeleine Stowe - Julie Moore
Greg Kinnear - Maj. Bruce 'Snake' Crandall
Sam Elliott - Sgt. Maj. Basil Plumley
Chris Klein - 2nd Lt. Jack Geoghegan
Keri Russell - Barbara Geoghegan
Barry Pepper - Joe Galloway

I don't remember the reporter, but the scenes of the taxis delivering the messages to the widows is We Were Soldiers with Mel Gibson.
