We are Soldiers Still
Author(s): Harold G. Moore
Almost 15 years since its original publication the bestseller "We Were Soldiers Once And Young" (1992) is still required reading in all branches of the military. Every day the authors receive letters from readers wanting to know what's happened to the characters they came to admire such as Ed 'Too Tall to Fly' Freeman and Bruce 'Old Snake' Crandall. There are also questions about whether they are still in touch with their North Vietnam counterparts and where they are now. Many of these questions are finally answered in "We are Soldiers Still", which recounts a unique journey back to the battlefields by the commanders and veterans of both sides - a journey which ended with the authors and some of the comrades stranded overnight, alone, on the isolated field code-named Landing Zone XRay where so many perished. They will tell what was learned and felt during a night when a meteor shower filled the sky and peace came upon them. The authors mix gritty and vivid detail with reverence and respect for their comrades.
