We Were Soldiers

We who have seen war, will never stop seeing it. In the silence of the night, we will always hear the screams. So this is our story, for we were soldiers once, and young.

Some had families waiting. For others, their only family would be the men they bled beside. There were no bands, no flags, no Honour Guards to welcome them home. They went to war because their country ordered them to. But in the end they fought not for their country or their flag. They fought for each other.
