Back to the Ia Drang
“We Are Soldiers Still,” the follow-on to Gen. Hal Moore and Joe Galloway’s Ia Drang epic, is now out. Joe told me a couple of months ago I get a nod in credits for calling attention to Sgt. John Eade’s remarkable story of fighting and surviving when the rest of his platoon had been killed around him. It had not been discussed publicly at the time of the first book’s publication, and details were little known in 7th Cav due to Eade’s immediate medevac to a lengthy Stateside recovery after the battle in mid-November 1965. My friend Eade’s story here: “I am going to die well.” Still waiting on my review copy, Joe. I guess I’ll have to go buy it.
