The November 1965 battle in the Ia Drang Valley was the first major battle between the United States Army and North Vietnamese soldiers. The battle lasted for three days, resulting in major American casualties. Joseph Galloway, a former war correspondent with United Press International, moderated the panel. He was the only civilian to receive a Bronze Star for his participation in Vietnam.

The Battle of Ia Drang” was a panel at a three-day “Vietnam War Summit” held at the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin, Texas. close
