This documentary will be available on the evening of Thanksgiving Day. It covers the 4th/9th 25 Infantry Division. Its primary focus was the Nov 27th ambush (the day before Thanksgiving), their worst day in Vietnam for KIA and WIA, and also the worst day for the 187th Assault Helicopter Company; my unit was their primary aviation support. It was a disastrous day that most who participated will never get over. This year, both the day and dates, coincide with 1968 which always makes this a traumatic time of the year for many.
I posted my side of the story in my SubStack article @ https://josephdougan.substack.com/p/my-day-of-infamy-and-why-novembers?r=tzsbi with links to other stories about this mission. A subscription is not necessary. My site and stories are free.
I attended the premier of this documentary as a guest last spring, where I met many of those survivors we supported that day. It is a very well-done documentary and worth the viewing.
