It's the second day of the Battle for Hue and it's quickly becoming clear to many of the Marines on the ground that this fight is different than what they experienced prior to this. They've lost dozens of Marines and Navy corpsmen who've been killed or wounded in the fight, they are clearly out numbered, they haven't been trained for urban environments, the rules of engagement in the battle are different than anything they've seen before, they continue being sent out on missions that are deadly and appear to be impossible, and the officers know that their command does not understand the situation on the ground in Hue.
The Battle That Changed Everything is our special series on the Battle for Hue in the Vietnam War. This is chapter 3 of our story.
This series is part of our podcast Tomorrow Town, Tennessee. This podcast is a production of NewsChannel 9, Fox Chattanooga, and Sinclair Broadcast Group Chattanooga.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
