28 Feb 2006 Memories are little parts of one's life and Private Trittschuh was one of those memories that I will never forget. I only knew him for a very short period of time but it was long enough that he made an everlasting impression on me. Be proud of him. From his squad leader, Henry J Seither grandpa62joe@gmail.com

 

A Note from The Virtual Wall The book and movie We Were Soldiers Once - and Young made the 7th Cavalry's November 1965 fight in the Ia Drang Vally well known to Americans - but the 1st Cavalry Division's losses in the Ia Drang neither began nor ended with that battle.
