"THIS IS THE BEST NEW DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE VIETNAM WAR." - Jan Scruggs, president of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund

"WE ALL WON THE MEDAL OF HONOR THAT DAY. I JUST HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF WEARING IT." - 1st Sgt. David H. McNerney

A feature-length documentary about Congressional Medal of Honor recipient 1st Sgt. David H. McNerney and the men of company A-Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Infantry of the 4th Infantry Division that he trained and led into a bloody, yet forgotten battle near Polei Doc in the Central Highlands of Vietnam at the height of the Vietnam War. This area was later known as "The Valley of Tears."

In the men's own words, through the stories they recount, the film gives us insight into the time these men spent together and the bond they formed that remains unbroken to this day. The men of A-Company trained together for 11 months and served together for one year. Their story begins with basic training at Ft. Lewis, Washington, in 1965 and continues 40 years later at their reunion in September 2007. The highlight of the film is the detailed, first-hand account of their intense encounters, including the events of March 22, 1967 (for which 1st Sgt. McNerney was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor). He is celebrated by the men he trained and served with and whose lives he saved.

Conceived by Executive Producer John A. Ponsoll, whose father served with A-Company and documented his tour of duty with a slide camera, the film honors the memory of A-Company 1/8 and their incredible courage and dedication to one another. (100 minutes, 2010)
