    Just now looking back through your archives after a few months of dedicated listening and I'm realizing my second mother my mother's best friend is married to a Vietnam veteran Benny and I would love more than anything for him to tell his story with you

    My uncle was in nam in 69-70 he was in the 9th infantry however when the 9th was sent home he thought he would be sent home too however they sent him to the 199th instead he said all he saw in the 199th was NVA regulars who were real soldiers. They lost many men in the 199th. They also went into Cambodia

    Larry, when I was stationed in Korea with the 2nd Infantry Division back in '89 to '91, it was a running joke told by the Vietnam era soldiers that were still serving with me, that the most dangerous weapon in the United States Army was a 2nd Lt. with a map. Haha

    Larry, you couldn't be more right... these men are heroes. They may not see this truth, but these soldiers, airmen, and sailors are among those that have been at the tip of freedoms' sword. They are heroes, and represent the very best of this country.
    Welcome home Sgt Keisell, and God bless!

    I think many American need read about what US President Franklin D. Roosevelt think about the French colonial rule over Vietnam and Vietnam Independent. And when did President Franklin D. Roosevelt sent US military personnel to Vietnam one year after the Japanese army attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. All those 1st Vietminh soldiers were once America allies against the Japanese army.

    To all US Vietnam Vet. You should blame that on your parents and grandparents and all those fellow Americans of yours for voting for Democrats President Truman, JF Kennedy, and LB Johnson as United States commander in Chief. Because they were one who brought communist to Vietnam and started the Vietnam War. US Democracts President Truman was the 1st US President who got Americans involve in Vietnam when he sent the 1st US MAAG to assist the French to recolonize Vietnam in 1950 after he reject Ho Chi Minh letter of support for Vietnam independence from France. Then US Democrats President JF Kennedy stage a military coup on South Vietnam President, Ngo Dinh Diem giving America power to start a War and to do what ever they wish to Vietnam and its Vietnamese peoples. And appoint an ex-Vietminh soldiers, Nguyen Van Thieu as their puppet President of South Vietnam to replace Ngo Dinh Diem after the military coup assination on Nov. 2, 1963. The following year on August 4, 1964. US Democrats President LB Johnson announce to the American peoples about the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Where a US Destroyer Maddox was patroiling at sea past the 17th parallel DMZ near the capital of communist North Vietnam, Hanoi. That even today that it didn't happen according to John White a nuclear weapon officier on the US Destroyer Maddox. Without the South Vietnamese President declare military action or War on North Vietnam. US Democrats President LB Johnson push for military action against North Vietnam which lead to the start of the Vietnam War. American peoples did this to Vietnam and all the 58,000 US troops killed during the Vietnam by electing these Truman, JF Kennedy and LB Johnson as their US Commaner in Chief. America brought War, death, and pain to the Vietnamese peoples of Vietnam. 3,000,000 innocents Vietnamese civilian had to die in their own country. While 10s of thousands Vietnamese die at sea of hunger, thirst, illness, and Thai pirates fleeing out of Vietnam as refugee. All those US President were all US War Veteran.
