[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4028442, member: 26737"] A buddy who was Vietnam vet loaned me his hardback copy of [I]We Were Soldiers Once...and Young[/I] to read. He'd had several of the Okies who'd been in the Ia Drang sign it, which made it a very special copy of a special book. There were several of us who'd frequently trade books (he had my copy of [I]Retreat, Hell![/I], about the 1st Marines at the Chosin Reservoir, at the same time), and it wasn't uncommon for books to go through several guys' hands before returning home, but that one went right back to its rightful owner.
