ANOTHER ONE FOR THE MOVIE BUCKET LIST: WE WERE SOLDIERS

Another recommendation for your movie bucket list:  We Were Soldiers 

A 2002 American war film written and directed by Randall Wallace and starring Mel Gibson. Based on the book We Were Soldiers Once… and Young (1992) by Lieutenant General (Ret.) Hal Moore and reporter Joseph L. Galloway.

It dramatizes the Battle of Ia Drang on November 14, 1965.  The performances are simply amazing.....right down to the smallest roles......it's available on Amazon.

Mel Gibson as Lieutenant Colonel/Colonel Hal Moore;  Madeleine Stowe as Julia Moore; Greg Kinnear as Major Bruce P. Crandall; Sam Elliott as Sergeant Major Basil L. Plumley
