LZ X-Ray - Though the 1^st Battalion 7^th Cavalry was the main unit involved in this famous battle in November of 1965, C 2/5 Cav was there too. LTC Hal Moore was the commander on the ground, and he wrote what is probably the definitive book on combat to come out of the Vietnam War - "We Were Soldiers Once . . .and Young."
