The Battle of Ia Drang - fought between November 14th - 18th, 1965 - was the first major battle between the United States Army and the People's Army of Vietnam, also referred to as the North Vietnamese Army.
It was part of the Pleiku Campaign conducted early in the Vietnam War. Both sides claimed victory, and some have said that Ia Drang was the battle that convinced Ho Chi Minh that he could, in the end, defeat the Americans. Three Medals of Honor were awarded from actions during this engagement.
On the morning of November 14th, the 1st Cavalry landed at Landing Zone X-Ray at the base of the Chu Pong mountain and by noon they were already under attack from the North Vietnamese. The fighting continued all day and into the night with the enemy relentlessly making assault after assault.
The North Vietnamese forces had succeeded in engaging the U.S. forces in very tight quarters. The cavalry regiment returned fire, but the enemy were dug into prepared fighting positions and many of the American leaders had died or were wounded during the initial stages of the attack.
Temperatures reached 100 degrees, and by the afternoon there was a firestorm battle for survival. Battalion Commander Lt. Col. Hal Moore and his men continued on, receiving support from artillery units and air strikes, helping the American troops hold themselves against the enemy.
During a 14-hour period, Major Bruce Crandall and Captain Ed Freeman, repeatedly landed their helicopter under intense enemy fire at Landing Zone X-Ray. They resupplied ammunition, water, and supplies, while evacuating the wounded. They saved some 70 soldiers when the Medevac units refused to fly into the intense landing zone. Both later were awarded the Medal of Honor, our nation’s highest award for heroism in combat.
Before the Battle of la Drang was over, 305 Americans had been killed along with an estimated 2,000 North Vietnamese troops. American officials declared the Battle of the la Drang Valley a victory.

Cho tôi hỏi quý giá chỗ nào trong khi quân đội đó qua nước khác thả bom giết hại cướp bóc những kẻ đó chết không được gọi là quý giá mà là quân xâm lược khoán khiếp
@@ThienNguyen-kz9vu stfu, y'all act like your always in the right, the US didn't invade for no reason. Remember, South Vietnam had the support of the US.
Invaded on a bunch lies about North Vietnam attacking a USN vessel in the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964 @@kingz1063, not unlike the lies about Bin Laden & Saddam Hussein's WMD. The South Vietnamese government you refer to was nothing more than a corrupt puppet regime installed by the CIA - US Military Industrial Complex (like several countries around the world, Iran & Iraq for example), rejecting the outcome of Vietnam's democratic election process, TWICE. Your ignorance of the holocaust the US and its trusty lap dog Australia unleashed across South East Asia from 1960 - 1975 slaughtering over 3 MILLION Vietnamese people, alongside thousands in Cambodia & Laos underlines America & Australia's refusal to evolve beyond trigger happy genocidal war criminals who, alongside the UK, now make the axis of evil in WW2 look like amateurs.

@@ThienNguyen-kz9vu they were there to try and communism
These Heroes should have never had to wait as long as they did to be recognized for their heroic actions we we as a society should recognize and honor the men that protect our rights
Which men? Those who fought on their fatherland for their country to repel an invasion force?
Exactly which US citizen rights were the rice farmers in Vietnam threatening?
Militarily speaking, the North Vietnamese troops have my utmost respect. They fought hard against enemies that multiple times more powerful on all aspects. To them, dying for their country is as easy as taking a nap.
no god, and we gladly accommodated them. America has always been less than grateful, look at the world we live in now? More conflicts and NOTHING to show for it!🐍🤮🤢💩🖕
Leadership. We had none
@@captainrikcaldwell9375 I do somewhat agree with you. I believe that there were some good leaders, but I have to admit not everyone that was in a leadership role, needed to be in a leadership position.
Yeah they were strong but then again they were fighting in their own backyard.
My great respect for all soldiers and veterans! From Italy

@Frank DeFalco tio sam 0 x 10 vietcongs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My lovely American next door neighbour said he and his brothers as well as his counsins were fought in Vietnam. He was a Marine. His elder brother was an Air Force pilot, and his younger brother was in the Navy. His cousin of his father's side was in the Army while his cousin of his mother's side was a Marine helicopter pilot. He and his relations were there between 1965 &1969. Then his helicopter pilot cousin came back to the States in 1971, and his army cousin too left Vietnam in 1972 & came back to his beloved wife and their little boy & girl in Washington state USA. He said he always feel relief and pleased whenever he talk about it as each of them came back home alive and in one piece though he had a minor injury on his hand by the shrapnel of the Viet Cong's hand grenade blast and his army cousin too whose helmet saved his fore head from getting shot by the NVA's AK-47 assault gun bullet.
No matter the political nature of this war ... Its a crying shame the way these soldiers were treated the way they were by americans when they got home...... 😢
I know this to be true because I personally experienced it!
@@davidschwartz5127 Thank you for your service sir! Welcome home!👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
David Schwartz Thank you for your service. I’m sorry you had to go trough those hard times. I know it’s still not easy for you. I knew some Vietnam veterans.Infantry men helicopter gunners and patrol boat gunners. God bless you sir.
Fake news way back then brain washed the civilians which caused them to treat these soldiers like crap😠
Tm
I can't imagine how terrifying it was to step off a helicopter in this battle. These men were absolute heroes.
I just wish I was old enough to take part in Vietnam
More than trump will ever be
especially the second or following waves of reinforcements, you got RPK, PKM, and AK rounds pounding on a tiny bit of sheet metal between you and it, and then you gotta leap into 5-foot high grass. Balls or stupidity, take your pick.

Robert your an idiot. FOor the first time we are in zero wars thanks to Trump. He's even hashed out peace deals.with the middle east. Msm would have you think he would.of had us nuked by now. He also brought usmca in and.got rid of nafta. Passed executive actions benefiting all Americans. Strong on border. Passed criminal justice reform. Takes no presidential salary whilst donating it all to foundations for the poor and needy. BEst economy ever pre China flu and will be again. And must I say again, ZERO WARS ONLY PEACE DEALS HASHED OUT. You sir are a complete and utter useful idiot.
Many hero’s during this war remain unsung.
America thanks you. ✝️
Drafted into Army just weeks after this. Glad I missed it. Welcome Home to all that served!
drafted?...thats expected
My father fought in WWII & Korean War. When he was just about to retire from the Army in 1965, Army asked him if he was willing head for Vietnam War. He told the Army that he was retiring because he remembered from past what General MacArthur used to say about Vietnam War that he said, once you go there, you own it and there is no end to that war for the U.S. I'm glad he did the right thing by not going there. RIP for over 5,5000 soliders, marines and sailors for their bravery and gave all they had for no end war for the U.S.
Your father was a smart man.
I salute all veterans.

The whole Country was a Battle going on every Day and Night, I was in Country 65-66 Tan Son Nhut Air Base. They brought the War to us each night.
Thank you very much for serving, Sir!
Us took the war to them get it right
What? You brought the war to them first?
My drill Sargent was at this battle, silver star recipient. He was one tuff man. I would have followed him anywhere he led.
I was an American Airmen, , I was in Vietnam , three different time, I agree with most or all the comments, I was a First Sergeant, and when I would return, I was ashamed of our people.but so proud of our service men , they would hold their heads high, and ignore . I was proud then and I’m still proud today, of our young and old fighting men and women. I miss and love you all. God bless America.
If I'm not mistaken, a gung ho squad leader followed an NVA soldier into a trap that led them into being cutoff, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that is how I remember reading it in "We Were Soldiers Once and Young" by Joe Galloway and Hal Moore. In this documentary series (I have the DVD set) they portray it as a heroic grenadier. I may have this battled crossed with another but I have studied this war for many years and I think the Vietnam Veterans are some of the best soldiers in the history of the U.S I try to tell people its OK to oppose a war but we should ALWAYS support the brave men and women who fight as they are simply following orders. Though I'm a fierce liberal and can see that I'm in the minority on many of these types of videos and such, I always support the troops and admire the strength and courage that they show in the face of death. Thank you to all of you brave Veterans who read this comment...I truly admire and appreciate your service and bravery!
"A gung ho squad leader followed an NVA soldier into a trap" as well a clueless nation followed a Mad Dog president into the trap of a needless war. I for one, can't get over "all of those young lives betrayed." Oh, and by the way, it's still happening today. The betrayal part, that is.
Duffy Bordeaux ‘
I've found over the years that folks are so very strong opiniated about the war there, that many cannot accept anyone else having their own opinions. Either you believe the way they do or you're a commie traitor. In their mind, it's not possible to protest against the way our soldiers were being used,---you either supported long term continuation of the war and killing or you were a commie sympathizer.
I almost always don't care about the troops because they are a bunch of brainwashed looser fighting wars for big corporations and bankers and the worst is that they only fight small and weak countries and they proceed to make fake Hollywood movies to spread propaganda around the world.
I agree JSB. All those lives needlessly lost for that perverted piece of crap in the White House at the time.
This is one of the best documentaries on the battle I have watched.
LC Albany was also a
heroic and devastating battle with many men lost. These soldiers need to be recognized and not forgotten. What is up with that.
They didn't call that place the valley of death for nothing alot of troops got killed there even if after this
daniel rodriguez, it's L Z,as in LANDING ZONE Albany son.
Great recount thanks for sharing this message here
I met one of the door gunners that was on Major Cradle helicopter. No words can describe how honored.
I served with 10th armored calvery 4th div . was in the la druang valley still made nva contact , the APC and m48 tanks always pushed the enemy back to the blue line (river) 1st plt. B co.
We will not let this be a forgotten war.

"How it all started; Gulf of Tonkin was the attack on an American war ship.
Unfortunately, we know now, that this event Never Took Place.
It started when Ho Chi Minh asked us for help tossing the French out, and we ignored him, then when he had the unmitigated gall to accept help from Russia, we propped up some mafia gangsters, and helped the wrong side.......we never had any business going there. But you are correct about the Tonkin crap.

@@johnpike5836 you dont know me at all. I work with vets almost exclusively. Get them off the narcotics they've been addicted to for years. I give them more care than the entire VA system. These are people that fuckheads like you ignore, and want to take away any support system they have. I bet your an asshole. And probably a fucking treasonous tRUMP voter.
When I was a kid our nextdoor neighbor would tell me stories of him being in the second wave into Vietnam. Not sure exactly witch Paton he was revering to but he would sit and tell me stories for hrs and some of it was just unbelievable.
I have a copy of the book "Were were Soldiers Once and Young" by Hal Moore and Joe Galloway. Very captivating. LZ Albany was a nightmare. Rick Rescorla and Savage's accounts puts you in the middle of it. I realized I couldn't be a grunt...oh my!
Yes you could. It is all in what you decide you want to do. Two time combat airborne infantryman here.
My stupid question is why it took the army 30 to recognized his heroic action. Major Crandrall is one tough cookie .
Back then the award needed be given within a certain time frame, a very short one at that. In 1996 they changed the "rules" making past acts of heroism eligible. The book came out in 1992 after a US News World Report article written by Galloway that was intriguing enough to land him and Hal the book deal. That attention brought the actions of Snake and Too Tall to the forefront. When the rules changed in 1996 Crandall took his own name out of contention believing that would give Too Tall a better chance of being recognized. Crandall felt it was his job to go back as the leader. Too Tall volunteered to go as well and Crandall didn't want that. Crandall thought if something happened to himself he would need Too Tall to take over his responsibilities. Crandall also knew that arguing with Too Tall was pointless so they "agreed". Crandall felt Too Tall was the hero because Too Tall didn't have to go. So in 2001 they gave Too Tall the MOH. www.defense.gov/explore/story/Article/1822476/medal-of-honor-monday-army-capt-ed-freeman/
Crandall received his in 2007.
Not a stupid question at all. My thoughts exactly
you have to understand that service ppl go about their daily activities in war because they are trained that way, so when ANY MOH nominee gets that call, it might take years because eventually , someone says, " hey, that guy did this or that"...then people do research etc...there were civil war soldiers that received the MOH postumously, decades later as well. So when we watch these videos, it details what occured even though you may say, why it take so long, the MOH has to be verified to receive it
LionHeart FilmWorks always have the best documentaries.
V.Vets deserve everyone's respect, EVERYONE!
Great book and somewhat accurate movie.
Met Bruce Crandall about 6 years ago. In retrospect, I had just met one of the all time American greats.
My brother got drafted in 66 and was a Navy Corpsman that ended up in country. He still doesn't talk about it. Now he has agent orange because he was stationed in the Mekong Delta. Wherever that is.
Capt Freeman was a superb chopper pilot
The old men start the wars, the young men fight the wars.
If the old men had to fight the wars, there would be no wars.
Thanks to all our hero soldiers.
Inspirational and deeply indebted.
Fun fact for those interested. The VC used the ant hills as air vents for their tunnels and they carve the inside out and turn them into hides and murder holes. It’s also how they hide their cooking smoke. Ingenious. Often grunts are using the ant hills as cover all while never knowing how close to the enemy they really are. Also please if into the history search for LZ Albany also part of this battle but after x-ray battle is over. Lastly Savage was a savage. When leadership was needed savage stood up. How much wonder is Major Crandal got his MOH because of the movie We were soldiers
It wasn't a 'war', but a 'conflict'. When I was over there in '69 with the U.S. Army it felt like HELL. I got wounded at LZ Jerry. Vietnam was our Little Big Horn.
one doesnt " get wounded" in a conflict, one gets wounded in battle, vietnam WAS a war, guess after all this time you still in denial
Same thing
It sure as hell felt like a 'War' to me!@@A5tr0101
The incidence of gunshot wounds in conflict depends on the type and intensity of the fighting. In full scale war the proportion of casualties injured by gunshot is generally less than in low intensity or asymmetric warfare. Maybe you should do some research before posting. I've never been in denial, but I have been to Egypt. @@robertrowe8531
Baptism by Fire ... Lest We Forget
After watching these films, it’s clear the Vietnam vets were some of the bravest men ever. And all of America owes them a huge apology
We don't owe them an apology maybe the government owes them
Politicians caused us to stay there for so long, taking and retaking same ground. Nam isn’t that big. Then? We couldn’t go in to cease the Ho Chi Minh trail. Then? We sold out south Nam and left. Liberal politicians caused this conflict to last more than a year. Live with that truth next time you vote for a career politician

@@billysmith5721 How'd that work out? Cadet Bone Spur thanks for your blind obedience. Time to wake up. The fever has broken.
Read 'Into the Quagmire". Wash, DC knew in '62 we could not win that war. Without support from the local population which already hated the corrupt S. Vietnam gov't. We were spinning our wheels. N.Vietnam was able to replace their casualties one for one. Loose 1000 send in another 1000. Uncle HO pledged 10 million if that was what it took. Also read,'' McNamara's 100,000" which allowed mentally challenged, lower IQ's, .troops to enlist so the Reserves would not have to be called up. Both books are available from Amazon.

I was really close to there in 1972, just 19 years old, and not even knowing the history of what happened at the ia drang valley, it now pains me that at that time I wasn't even aware of this battle. Didnt know this history until the movie We were soldiers came out. I was stationed at Pleiku air base (radar site ,call sign Peacock) Hey any ( call sign Embalmer out there) ?? Huey pilots!!
Thanks for serving your country. The nation owes all of you our greatest respect and thanks
I get a little sad when I watch this, I take another drink and say the Vietnam Veterans did not get the the reconition they deserved. What you hear the most of the Vietnam Vets were drafted.
We were never meant to win the war.It was decided before we ever stepped into that God for saken land.. political all the way around.I humbly Thank each and every person that fought over there.I'm so proud to call you my fellow American,and pray God's blessings on each and every one of you.
Great coverage of an important engagement, thanks for the post. There were continuity issues, though, at 4:03 an mg crew are firing blanks and at 7:17 it appears a US infantry squad from WWII has gotten itself transported to the battle. Not a criticism, just noticed things out of place. So good to see a deserved MOH bestowed, even if it's 30 years late.
Excelente,🇧🇷
I wonder about the descisions that higher authority made in this conflict . . Many times i think they could have done things in a much better thought out way . . . The guys in uniform are always fantastic . . God Bless !!!
Wounded multiple times, Semper Fi! 1968
I am not an American citizens, but I feel bad by the way these soldiers were treated in their own country that sent to war...
Hell of a battle
Salute to major and captain
1967 John McNamara to LBJ "we underestimated the enemy" Johnson grunted.
Macnamara was a major didadterk
Mcnamara was a major disaster In country. He blunderd more than once🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Westmoreland promised if they gave him 200k troops, he'd have them back home in 2 years max. That was around 1965.
exactly 54 years ago.
They gaveit hellallof them boys and all have my respect
Crandel should of gotten the MOH long before the 2000s
This battle was long forgotten until the book came out in 1992. Attention was put on the role of the 229th AHB. Snake took his name own name off the table to make way for Too Tall Ed Freeman. MOH 2001. Receiving his own in 2007. It did take time but was eventually made right.
Another thing that would have been eerie and scary at the same time and that's when all the sudden you can't see any movement at all but you can actually smell the. And the GRUNTS said it was like Vinnegor and some other thing I couldn't remember but I Kno it was the smell of vinneger and something else To that would be like a nite mare frfr
My father was in Charlie Co Air Cav 2/5 '65/66.
Well (i guess) depicted in the film "We where soldiers".
Ulf Jönsson Hello Menemis....... menemis bond? 😆
The movie “We Were Soldiers” shows wrong tactic of National Liberation Front of South Vietnam (NLFSVN). In fact, NLFSVN did not use the "human sea" tactic. Due to occupying the battlefield first, an ambush can destroy many different American troops, and ambushes can also support one another. Although the number of United States + Republic of Vietnam (US+RVN) was larger, in terms of the proportion of NLFSVN vs US+RVN at each site, NLFSVN was larger because they had torn the US+RVN amphibious forces. This led to the US+RVN mistaking NLFSVN to use a human tactic.

That's extremely false, 545 Americans were killed, while 3,561 North Vietnamese were killed

The war protesters turned against the troops as well as the policy. Even coming home from tours in other parts of Asia we had human waste and blood thrown on us.
Did you guys get all this from We were soldiers or actual research or is that movie actually accurate?
Movie is mostly accurate. Many liberties were taken to speed the story along
"...the Gulf of Tonkin incident..." was a lie. Just sayin'.
What does that have to do with this valiant soldier’s selfless bravery you pseudo intellectual moron!!
We know. NOW.
@@nicholasgiokas3111 It is not my intention to take anything away from the heart felt actions of a young man in a wartime situation in the service of his country. He did what he thought he needed to do and thought was right. .. unfortunately his motivations were based on a lie. He was a sacrificed pawn in a much larger game...
A lie to start a war I feel sorry for the men who had to fight there and die we must remember them.
What part of the Tonkin Gulf incident was a lie. The USS Maddox and Turner Joy were in the area and were " attacked " by Patrol Boats from the Noth Vietnamese . The government could have used the embassy bombings , hotel bombings or Air Force base bombings to escalate the war . The Tonkin Gulf incident may have been a half truth , but by 1964 Vietnam was about to fall and the U S had over 10 years of promises and commitments to live up to . The slide into Vietnam was a slow one , and you don't hear too much about what happened for the 10 years prior to August 1964 .
Lest we forget.
The place was called death valley
"Ia" is pronounced "yaw"
Thank you. My husband was in 'Nam as a platoon leader and you are correct. What's worse are the 2nd 3rd and 4th hand accounts by people who weren't there.

Hai Nam Le, is that what uncle ho taught you?🤮🤢💩🖕
My dad was a CWO2 my dad 1 of the 16
I saw at least 3 or 4 U.S soldiers using AKs in this video.Am i the only one that saw that?
The m16 at that time was a piece of shit so American soldiers would snatch up an ak47 and throw their m16 away
Im for the heroism of the NVA!
Damn right!
I couldn't imagine being the platoon that got cutt off and surrounded yo that's what nitemares are made of only worse thing then that would be cutt off and out of AMMO I hate it when I have had nitemares and all is going well until I'm surrounded with no bullets Another Thing that would have prolly made your ass pucker up and that's when the flares are shot up in the Air at like 2am and you now see hundreds of enemy fighters that was able to get that close undetected if not for the flares it would have been a way different battle
Something's wrong, 1965 doesn't have AR16 nor AK47
Throw away your keyboard. In 1965 the NVA carried AK-47 and US cariied M-16
Nowhere near AK 47 has been around since 1948 and the M16 was adopted by the US Army in 1964 and issued to special forces, airborne and assault units.
