Bravo! Movie coming to Columbia College on May 18th

Columbia, CA...Here is a 2 hour first run movie like you will never see anywhere else, not at any theater since it is shown only privately. This film was made by Ken Rodgers who lived the whole experience with Bravo Co. 1st Battalion 26th Marines. This is about the 77 day siege of Khe Sanh starting 21 January 1968 during the Tet offensive. It also covers the ‘ill fated ‘Ghost Patrol” of 25 February and subsequent action in retaliation such as ”The Pay Back” battle on 30 March which was the only Marine Corps bayonet charge in Vietnam history and the only one since World War 2...



Less than 100 men participated and 19 were KIA. There was over 100 Purple Hearts earned that day some men having multiple wounds. Other awards were 2 Navy Crosses, 8 silver Stars, 9 Bronze stars with “V” devices, 2 Navy Commendations with “V” devices. One hell of a heroic day!
There are 15 Marines interviewed who were participants in the film itself. These guys are ”the been there, done that” gang. Common Men, Uncommon Valor. This film has a lot of historical significance being the longest and biggest battle of the 10 year Vietnam War.
Tickets are $10.00 are available online at www .vietnamveterans391.org. Seating is limited to only 200 tickets for each of the two showings at 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Tickets are available in Calaveras County contact Bravo project chairman Mike Preston 795-1864 and in Tuolumne County contact Carol Southern 928-3848.
