Once An Eagle

[Guest Texas_Acty]

This is the name of a novel published in 1968, and made into a TV miniseries that was broadcast in December, 1976-January, 1977.

The book is a favorite of US Army and Marine Corps officers, and is required reading at West Point and other military schools, I believe. It's also a favorite of this former enlisted man, and I'm sure a lot of others.

Inexplicably, the film has never been available on VHS/DVD. (You would think with the 'crap' that's out on DVD, a fine film like OAE would have been out long ago.) How many former officers and enlisted men in the US? I've got to believe the DVD would sell, millions maybe?

I want to do my part to get this film released on DVD. I'm going to send a letter (to Universal Home Video, the owner) urging "Get this film out on DVD!!" and register to vote for release of OAE on DVD at this link:

Any others who know and enjoyed this fine story do likewise.-Thanks
