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.
