'Ia Drang Valley'

We Were Soldiers (DVD)

In 1965, 400 American troops faced an ambush by 2,000 enemy troops in the Ia Drang Valley (also known as the Valley of Death), in one of the most gruesome fights of the Vietnam War. WE WERE SOLDIERS is a detailed recreation of this true story: of the strategies, obstacles, 'ia drang valley' and human cost faced by the troops that participated. The story focuses on the lieutenant colonel that led the attack, Hal Moore (Mel Gibson), 'ia drang valley' and a civilian reporter who accompanied them, Joseph Galloway (Barry Pepper), as well as a number of other soldiers who were involved. This is an unusual Vietnam film in that it also shows the North Vietnamese perspective on the battle; their leader Lieutenant General Nguyen Huu An (Don Duong) is depicted as a brave soldier 'ia drang valley' and smart commander. And in addition to the many gory battlefield sequences--which seem to have been influenced by SAVING PRIVATE RYAN--we also see how the carnage of war affects those left behind, the soldiers' wives 'ia drang valley' and children. Ultimately this is a moving anti-war film, which, by sticking close to the true stories of real soldiers, very effectively brings home the overwhelming horror of war.

Hero Mama

I don't remember Mama crying when Granny Ruth died, but the day after she was buried, Mama gathered together all the pillows in the house 'ia drang valley' and went into the room where her mother's foot-pedaled sewing machine stood silent. Taking a pair of black-handled scissors, she cut open the tops of Granny's pillows. Aunt Blanche asked Mama what in Jehoshaphat's name did she think she was doing, cutting up all the pillows like that. Mama answered something about finding a crown inside one of those pillows Granny Ruth had fashioned from chicken feathers. Sometimes, she explained, when a person sleeps on a pillow for a long time the feathers will mold together to make a crown ...

Hero Mama is the gritty, searing, 'ia drang valley' and beautifully written story of what happened to this Southern family in the aftermath of a soldier's death. At first the widow Spears appeared to fall apart -- turning herself into a beer-guzzling, good-time girl, while her children responded in kind. Eventually she recognized how much her children needed her and, with mule-headed tenacity, she earned her nursing degree 'ia drang valley' and bought the family a real home fashioned from bricks, rising above her own flaws to forge a better life for her kids. Now Karen Spears Zacharias pays tribute to this woman of guts 'ia drang valley' and determination -- her Hero Mama -- who battled overwhelming adversity to pull her family up 'ia drang valley' and make them proud of her, 'ia drang valley' and of themselves.
