Without Juan Angel Elias one of the greatest war movies ever, Platoon, would have not have been made. According to Oliver Stone, Juan Angel Elias had the presence of a "rock star" and was as good a soldier as anyone had ever seen.

A Cool November Morning
On a cool November morning, I stood before the Wall, then to a stage to speak from my heart of you. My hands shook, but not my voice, for my voice is yours. As I scanned the crowd, your eyes I found, in every man who stood to listen. Yes Father they even cheered, but I could not find the tears, that waited and watched as well. Angel Until this moment I never understood... but now I do. You are always with me, and I am never alone, and in the cold dark of that November night, the tears that waited came, and with them the soul of every name upon that Wall. Father your name is seared into my heart and soul, and I Thank you for going back a third time, so that another daughter, could stand at this Wall, and know too the sacrifice this child had made. You are not held by this Wall nor the wind nor rain, just as you lived know that I carry you with me, for I am you, on a cool November morning.
You held me on a cool November morning as I came to this world, as I hold you each and everyday. I remember all too well the last time you held me another November day, looking into your eyes I held the world as I do now. Yes I do remember... Father a new day has come,and yet you are never gone simply a breath away
Your Loving Daughter
