[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3357025, member: 26737"] The mention of Korea above reminded me of two books. The second is Gen. Moore's book on the Battle of the Ia Drang, [I]We Were Soldiers Once...and Young[/I]. A buddy who was a Vietnam vet (and had the X-rays of the shrapnel he still carries to prove it) loaned me his hardback copy; he'd become friends with a few of the guys from Oklahoma who are mentioned in the book, and had gotten them to sign it. I took better care of that book than I did my own. It's a helluva story and a helluva book. The other is [I]Retreat, Hell! We're Just Attacking In Another Direction[/I] by Jim Wilson about the 1st Marine Division at the Chosin Reservoir. It has been a good 20, maybe 25 years since I read it, but I recall it as being a pretty good read. [/QUOTE]
