LTC Moore went on to receive every award for valor and the 2nd highest award for valor just below the Medal of Honor. He was promoted to a Lieutenant General. He even had a military base named in his honor, though that became a complicated issue with the new presidential administration this past January https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w00HolLYnGI; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNu1V-iSEhc;. Joe Galloway the reporter was a true story including the story of the soldier burned to death during Broken Arrow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIdON_RgBm4; He was also awarded a military medal for heroism, the only reporter during that war to receive that honor "On May 1, 1998, Galloway was decorated with the Bronze Star with "V" device. The medal was in recognition of his heroism on November 15, 1965, during the Battle of Ia Drang, the first major battle by U.S. and North Vietnamese troops in the Vietnam War. Galloway was present as a journalist. During the fighting, he risked his own safety to assist wounded soldiers. His actions are depicted in the film We Were Soldiers in which he is portrayed by actor Barry Pepper. He is the only civilian to be awarded the Bronze Star for combat valor for heroism in the Vietnam War from the U.S. Army. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_L._Galloway

This is my favorite War movie. A group of Combat Officers voted this movie the best representation of actual war.

I have seen this about five times, but watching Coby's heartfelt reaction was like watching this for the first time. When you bounce back and you're up for another war movie, I highly recommend Platoon, Hacksaw Ridge, and The Deer Hunter. The only reason I didn't mention Apocalypse Now is that you've already seen it.

Well dogs tend to be better than people generally.

Good react, I expect you are going to be asked to do Hacksaw Ridge next, or maybe masters of the air or the Pacific.

I love how Coby's dog comforts Coby upon hearing her upset by the movie. Dogs = Best movie buddies ever.

I'm not familiar with this movie. Watching it along with your video will be the first time I'm seeing it too!

Great movie! Can't wait to check this out with you. I know it was a hard watch for you but you are honoring those who served. This one was unique as far as American War movies go as it showed a little from the other side too, I like it. There is a good quote from Shifty Powers from WW2, " Of course they were doing what they were supposed to do, and I was trying to do what I was supposed to do, but under different circumstances we might have been good friends"
