A U.S. Marine Corps reconnaissance team and an infantry platoon became stranded on a tiny jungle knoll in faraway Vietnam. Surrounded and outnumbered over ten-to-one, the young Marines fought attacking North Vietnamese Army soldiers throughout the long night. Against vastly overwhelming odds this struggle to survive exemplified the warrior ethos of the Marine Corps. Loyalty to brothers-in-arms never faded. Infantrymen and helicopter crews shared the sacred bond, the trust, the love, the passion, the incommunicable experience of Marines at war. Brotherly love and loyalty were the glue that held the young Marines together. Their love cannot be shattered by passing years, or social status, or race, or misfortune, or declining health, or poverty, or by anything other than death. There is no greater love.
