He said. "Some will die, be wounded, or go missing. I cannot promise you safety. But I will promise you this. I will be the first man off of the chopper and the last one getting on. I also promise above all else, I will leave no man behind" Upon saying this he and 700 odd men loaded up and went to la Drang.
