    It emphasizes the strong bond formed between soldiers and their families, showcasing the unique experience military members have and the recognition they deserve.

We Were Soldiers tells the true story of the first major battle of the Vietnam War between North Vietnamese forces and the United States in 1965. As Veterans Day is celebrated across the country this month, such a film is worth revisiting. Not to be confused with Memorial Day, when soldiers of the United States military who’ve paid the ultimate price are remembered, Veterans Day seeks to recognize and honor all generations of those who have served in any capacity and made sacrifices for the United States military.

The film honors soldiers who’ve served in the military, doesn’t glorify the perceived necessity of war, and aims to highlight the unbreakable bonds only soldiers and their families understand.................

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
