Brothers in War

I watched the movie, saw the TRUENESS of the events, the action, the bravery, and the Heartache and pain of those soldiers.

To hear the story's, i got to know them as well (to some degree) and it pained me when they were killed.

I was in Vietnam in 67-68, and know first hand of the lay of the land, and the VC activity. I was not in the infantry, and can only THANK THOSE WHO WERE, for their Bravery everyday.............The film showed that side as well.

What the soldiers did when faced with over whelming odds..............GREAT LEADERS, Both in Officers and NCO, and those not NCO's.

A movie to watch. Many THANKS AS WELL TO CHARLIE SHEEN.

Thank You Charlie for supporting our MILITARY..............

This film was extremely well done and wrought with emotion. It brings to life a time many of us have long forgotten or chose to forget. I have heard stories from friends and loved ones about their experience in Vietnam, but nothing affected me as much as watching this film. Hearing the stories of these men along with their home movies and archival war footage makes it that much more real to the viewer and something that cannot be denied. It doesn't paint a pretty picture of war. The men confess their fears and doubts of readiness going into combat. They express the depth of their feelings about doing things they could never imagine possible. I consider myself fortunate to have seen this film, and only found out about it through one of the survivors in the film posting an announcement on his class reunion Facebook page. I hope the film will be shown again on major networks with some promotion ahead of time. People…of all ages…need to see it! Kudos to everyone involved in the making of this film, especially the survivors! I hope this film is submitted to the Sundance Film Festival in June to gain the recognition it so well deserves.

As a member of Charlie Company and one of "The Boy's of '67", watching this documentary with my beautiful at my side was one of the most emotional experiences I've had since serving in Vietnam. Lou Reda Productions, with Scott Reda and Liz Reph's outstanding creativity, went above and beyond the call of duty to illustrate the God awful conditions that we young troopers dealt with in an extraordinarily nasty terrain and climate. If the Viet Cong didn't get you, surely the extreme heat, mud, leeches, snakes, rice paddies, jungle, and swamps would. Scott and Liz, with their excellent staff, pulled together a collection of Charlie Company home videos and archival footage that tells a powerful story of combat and our unbelievable return home to harsh treatment by ungrateful Americans.

This exceptional documentary rattled me to my bones.

Dear Remaining 4th Platoon Members, I liked the movie and rated it very high, but I really don't understand why everything was about the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd platoons. I understand they took the heaviest fire but the 4th was the first platoon hit. Maybe 7 guys in a plastic boat from the 4th platoon aren't worth mentioning? Although mentioned in the book, this important detail was omitted in the movie. Captain Lind mentioned his 1st, 2nd, & 3rd platoons, but the 4th platoon was also there. Kenny Frakes (4th platoon) was the only one mentioned, but we lost many other brothers from our platoon. I was FDC replacement from 4th division (June 1967) my friend Kenny Frakes and I worked together plotting until he got killed. Paris Fadden

Wow, this was amazing. What a wake-up call for all of us. I am buying the DVD for all five of my adult children and their families for Christmas. Be prepared it's real and does not leave anything to the imagination. Thank you for telling the world what it should have known years ago. I am just sorry that our troops were treated the way they were when they came home. I wanted to jump through the screen and yell and scream at the protesters......idiots. Just how do you think you get to have "Peace, Love, and Surf Naked".....May God Bless our troops and may we all remember those that gave their lives for our freedom. I visited the wall in D.C. and it was the most emotional experience of my life.....everyone should visit the "Wall".
