"I am going to die well"

In 1965, Sgt. Eade, 21, was a fire-team leader in 2nd Platoon, A Co., 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regt., 1st Cav Div.

Please take the time to read this. Sgt Eade was the sole survivor and the events that transpired 40 years ago have only recently been told.

Good post Gunny, I have read several stories of that battle (including the book) and it is impossible not to be moved by these men.
