- Here's a compelling glimpse into the life of Doc Maibach, one "The Boy's of '67", who served with the 1st Platoon, Charlie Company, 4th/47th Battalion, 9th Infantry Division in Vietnam's grueling Mekong Delta during 1967. Many thanks to Bill Ganzel, producer of the "60's Survivor" project for creating this memorable video report.
god bless the 9 th i.d. i was in inda during the 80's! hhc 2 nd bde!!
Thanks Doc! Now it's all volunteers, but that may not always be so. All men and women should serve in some capacity if needed. May they be as faithful as you were.
Pretty amazing man, thanks.
Mr. Maibach, "Doc Maibach" thanks for holding fast to the WORD OF God and still having the moral courage to answer the call to arms when your country needed you. My Dad arrived in Vietnam in March of 1968 and was assigned to Co B 3rd BN 47th Infantry 9th Infantry division, base camp was called Bearcat. He was wounded when his company was caught in a ambush. He was awarded the purple heart, a bronze medal and a host of medals including a C.I.B.....Hell yeah!! That's my ol' Man and I'm Damn proud to be his Son and carry his NAME. He spoke of the muddying waterways of the Mekong Delta, the leeches, snakes, the red ants, the mosquitos, there were endless rice paddies and the mud was thick and deep. The weather was extremely hot and humid or it was a constant down pouring of rain durning the monsoon season which meant you were soke and wet all the time. According to the late Col. David Hackworth who commanded the 4th BN 39TH Infantry 9th Infantry division, he said the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam was the worst place to pull combat duty. Thank God my Dad survived the 12 months of a living like an animal. And in enclosing, I very proud to say I'm a proud American Veteran and I too served with the 9th Infantry division from March of 1978 to August of 1980 and was assigned to HHC 2nd BN 39TH Infantry, FT. LEWIS WA. Respectfully your Brother in Arms.
"Moral courage" ? It was an illegal war and the US never declared war against anyone in Indochina for 10 years. Americans did NOT belong there. Your "call to arms when your country needed you" is nothing more than brainwashing and propaganda.
A great people and nation know when and where they belong somewhere. Vietna m was NOT the time or place.
I would strongly suggest to you that those who resisted the "tyranny" of the US Government back then and resisted the war were the true heroes. Patriotism has more than one face.
God Bless you Doc
I Salute Mr. Maibach , for his time in Uniform & the fight against tyranny in Vietnam. I was with the Boy's of "69" down in the Delta with the U.S. Army , Signal Corps.
You never forget...

I have a great respect for medics in all branches of the military. My grandfather served as a combat medic with the 1st Battalion, 112th Infantry Regiment, 28th Infantry Division in WW2. I was injured (non-combat) and evacuated from Balad, Iraq in 2005 and was treated by Air Force medical personnel (I was Army), what great people they were!
+Robert Oles Thank you for your service! God bless....
Bill Reynolds Enormous respect to the gallant men of the 9th Infantry Division, from a former Marine infantryman

All who were there at ages 19-whatever have PTSD.
You are right !
ประสาทในความทรงจำของเขาฉันคิดว่าหลายคนไม่ใช่อยากกลับไปที่นั่นแต่เขาอยากจะไปใช้ชีวิตบั้นปลายที่เหลือของเขาที่นั่นอยู่กับเพื่อนของเขาที่ไม่ได้กลับสู่บ้านเกิด
Takes a strong man of God, not to fight back.
US should have just released Anthrax into NV .
Thou shalt not MURDER Gary.
This is the reason people were set aside on psychological grounds. Men of sound and courageous mindset belong on a battlefield. Everyone else is a liability and get more people killed. We send these men to war, we destroy them to become lesser men, without the option of eliminating military conflict , veterans need to be cared for in every way possible. My family and I grew up with piss buckets next to our beds , to creep down the hallway and seek the bathroom was a nightmare. Dad would sleep on the couch most nights with a bottle of whiskey and and a big fuck off blade. We judged our freedom by the ammount of booze that was gone out of a bottle at bedtime. He was a soft man at heart , and after Vietnam became a violent intimidating monster, scared and untouchable like a wounded animal.
I wish he got the help he needed , I wish the military identified his inability to absorb such hideousness. War does not just have victims in its immediate grasp, It has the ability to continue hate anxiety and depression throughout generations.
