What A Coincidence
Mel Gibson produces a film, 'When We Were Soldiers', about the battle
of La Drang valley. In this travesty Mel portrays two Jewish helicopter
pilots, as the heroes of the battle. The first pilot Ed Freeman
amazingly got a Medal of Honor six months before the film is made, and
the second Jewish hero got his medal after the film was released.
Thanks to a special law stating Jewish veterans are to be given
Medals Of Honor, these two received their medals forty one years after
the events.

Certain aspects of the film are heavily dramatized and edited. The
final bayonet charge by the American troops on the North Vietnamese base
camp is somewhat over-dramatized, and was supported by fixed-wing
aircraft rather than by Hueys
flown by
Bruce P.
Crandall and
Ed Freeman. (Their own Hueys were configured as troop carriers
and could not have been reconfigured as gunships in the time frame
depicted.) Historically, the battle ended with the withdrawal of North
Vietnamese forces and subsequent extraction of 1/7 by helicopter after
they were relieved by 2nd/7thCav which had marched overland from LZ
Falcon to LZ X-Ray.
