“…ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE.” “As soon as the sun came up, all hell broke loose…. it seemed impossible for anyone to survive.” This is how Specialist LaTeague described the beginning of the Battle of Ia Drang Valley in Vietnam, where American soldiers of the the 1st Cavalry found themselves outnumbered five to one.
