If you have not seen this video, I would suggest you spend the next ten minutes and take a look. We have placed this on our new reenactment unit website and have begun to receive some incredible comments from people who knew nothing about the French Indochina War. Its quite exquisite, very well edited some incredible music and shot with original footage:

If someone asks you the common question we get all the time, "WHAT? The French were in Vietnam?" Send them this link.
An American Vietnam veteran called me today about our reenacting group after viewing our website and did not know anything about the FICW. I sent him the link today and he was incredulous at the loss of life by the French, French Union, Foreign Legion and Viet forces that fought against the Communists. Its truly amazing what a great video can accomplish.
The usual comments I get are of the "cheese eating surrender monkey variety". This veterans was amazed at the graphic video that was presented...
