    Actor Mel Gibson provides an on-screen introduction of the 2015 U.S. Army Soldier Show "We Serve," which pays tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Ia Drang Valley, one of the bloodiest conflicts in the Vietnam War. The battle was documented in the book "We Were Soldiers Once … And Young" by retired Lt. Gen. Hal Moore and reporter Joe Galloway. In 2002, director Randall Wallace depicted the first part of the battle in the movie "We Were Soldiers," starring Gibson and Barry Pepper, playing the roles of Moore and Galloway, respectively.
