HASBROUCK HEIGHTS -- Thomas J.

Holden, Michael J. Macarell, and Robert P. Gandil grew up in this small town and died too young in the jungles of Vietnam.

They have never been forgotten - not by their friends, family, or platoon mates, nor by the borough, which recognized the trio on a plaque last year.

And now, the three fallen borough residents are once again being remembered - this time on film.

The hour-long documentary, "Recovering Satellites," will premiere Sunday at noon at the Veterans of Foreign Wars hall.

It is not just a tale of three men who lost their lives three weeks to a month apart in 1966.
