We Were Soldiers Once

"We Were Soldiers Once… and Young" captures the harrowing experiences of the Vietnam War, focusing on the Battle of Ia Drang in November 1965. Led by Lt. General Hal Moore, the book details the first major battle between U.S. forces and North Vietnamese troops. Co-authored by journalist Joe Galloway, it recounts the bravery of soldiers like Major Bruce "Snake" Crandall, a Medal of Honor recipient, and reflects on the lives of those lost, including Sgt. Major Basil Plumley, Lt. Jack Geoghegan, and Capt. Tom Metsker, who paid the ultimate sacrifice at a young age.
