I still wake up during the night in the jungle … we didn’t bury many of the VC and NVA … piss on them … damn this guys memory is like mine.
Thank you for all that you did Tom. Good interview!

Amazing story. Thanks to all the veterans
Why,why does this channel insist on using this J/A Allen to conduct these interviews?
These are important,but this J/A knows next to nothing about Vietnam or the service to know what to ask an when or when to just keep his mouth shut and let the guys tell their stories.
I'm either having a major case of deja vu or this channel had Toms exact interview at an earlier time.
They must hasve missed you in the volunteer line to intrview, oh thats right you weren't there or to small to notice. Yelling the plane , the plane, wrong line?
