Since the last blog on this very easy to access website of mine, much has transpired!!
The author has chosen to go into detail about the fight atop 891, a mountain in the northern reaches of Vietnam. He tells about the struggle of marines as they fight, not just to protect the valley and the 9,500 marines below, but to stay awake and alive through the long and cold nights in the freezing temperatures. This blog will differ from the rest because it is a true story of the Vietnam War. This really did happen. The Chinese troops rushed over the top of the mountain and was held back, barely, by the Marine automatic machinegun line.
This story reminds me of another I've read, except it is a fictitious story. The main character had to hold back many Chinese drones from dropping bombs on the U.S. homeland. She sacrificed herself and saved millions of people, she even knew she was going to die and refused to give up and kept fighting for the right cause even when she knew she didn't have to.
for current events, it reminds me of the fight in Syria. Many men fight there every day just for the chance for theirs kids to live, fighting for what they believe in. It is very courageous.

Since the last blog, much has taken place. Jesse, Tom, and the Marine battalion overtook the Vietnamese and secured the area. Then after they let their guard down, the Chinese entered the arena. They came in over the frozen river, and sent in over half a million troops to win back the Vietnamese countryside. The American government sent back the pair and the Leyte to off the coast of Northwest Vietnam.
Personally, I feel like something bad is about to happen. This book starts off by telling us about Jesse's crash-landing in the Vietnamese jungle. The whole premise of the book has been set, the characters are together now, and the squadron has just undergone some success in destroying a bridge that cuts off the supply chain. It would make literary sense that a problem be thrown their way. I'm really hoping that Jesse and Tom can make it out of this... The author made us believe that Tom was going to land and try to save Jesse.
