ALWAYS A SOLDIER

If you haven't read it yet, please check out "We Were Soldiers Once, and Young" by LTC Hal Moore and Joe Galloway. That book was the basis for the Mel Gibson movie "We Were Soldiers". What I've just discovered is that one of the heroes of that action, Rick Rescorla, in fact the one pictured on the cover of the book, was a hero beyond even the fact that he fought in and survived the battle in the Ia Drang Valley.

Check out the Mudville Gazette's post about Rick Rescorla. I defy you to read it without tears.
