On president's Day February 18, the NGC, will play a three hours special.

" inside the Vietnam War."

I hope and pray that you will pass this notice on to all your friends to

watch this documentary. It will help to explain the WAR to loved ones and

friends. All agreed it was very well done since it is from the

Capt/Private perspective - not the political level, except as politics led

to battle actions. While the movie starts at the beginning with the

"advisors" it really gets started with the battle of Ia Drang Valley.

They interviewed then LTC Hall Moore [LTG] about the battle. Spectacular

footage and maybe some of todays troops can learn some things. Good focus

on TET which I happened to participate in and thence on to the final

stages. One word of warning, if a loved can not stand looking at battle

casualties in the raw, maybe they should not watch. T he documentary is

real war where real people are getting wounded and killed.

This documentary as with the personal knowledge that I have is that the

American military forces never lost a battle in the Vietnam War!!! not

one!

Further I swear to all who may read this and as documented in this movie,

The VC and the NVA were totally defeated after TET! There were NO VC

left.

WE could have declared victory and left, but as every Vietnam Vet knows the

American public turned on us and the WAR. General Giap got it right the

American Public will tire of the WAR and we will win it - EVEN though we

can

not defeat the Americans militarily.

We Vietnam Vets have vowed this will never happen again and we will NEVER

allow Vets to retun home un-welcomed.
