this fascinating interview.

“Didn’t you go back to the Ia Drang in March for Operation LINCOLN?”
Steven R. Hansen “Yes, we did return to the Ia Drang.
++In fact, we air assaulted back into XRay.
++It was quiet.”
++The mission was to search for and retrieve the remains of some MIAs.( Missing in Action )
++We found them.
The battlefield had been cleaned up pretty good by both sides.
We found a scattering of stuff and I noticed the remains of one NVA soldier near the “Ant
Hill” that sheltered the command post during the battle.
Isnt it strange! Col. Moore said he brought every one back even the dead.
