N.Y. Times: Veteran’s Voices
October 2nd, 2009
No comments
There were two great articles released in the N.Y. Times two days ago. One, a full length article, highlights one unit, Alpha Troop of the 11th Armored Cavalry, which served during Vietnam, but only last month received a Presidential Unit Citation. The citation ended a six-year campaign by Alpha Troop’s former commander, John Poindexter, to win recognition for the rescue mission. Read the full article.
Poindexter wrote a book about the mission, and the story is available online, complete with photos.
A second article is a N.Y. Times multimedia feature, with recorded interviews of the unit and pictures. Listen to the feature.
