God bless him. As a Vietnam Vet I will never forget how we were treated when we came home it was a disgrace. I am proud to be a Marine and still love this country
I flew as a door gunner for the 176th out of Chu Lai maybe 10 times back in 1968. I was a medic working at the 2nd Surgical Hosp, but I did enjoy flying. A world of respect to those who did fly daily.
I’ve listened to many of these interviews, focusing on the Vietnam veterans because I am one, this is one of the best. So articulate and thoughtful. The last 15 minutes are so poignant and inspiring. As a combat veteran on the ground these airmen are so appreciated.
Thank you, COL. Larry Arnett, 176th Assault Helicopter Co., Americal Div., Vietnam! Thank you, Mr Larry Cappetto! Amazing person and a amazing interview! Well done, Mr Larry!!
I want to give credit to my brother in law who flew slicks over there. He crashed due to an equipment failure, broke his femur and lost crew. He was removed from flight status and retired some years later. CWO Wendel LeFevers, the family hero. A good ol Okie who is still kicking!
Thank you so much for continuing to post these videos, and for keeping the memory and legacy of our veterans alive. These stories give me great appreciation for the sacrifices that were made for our freedoms, and makes me proud to be an American. God bless you.
I am a 64 year old Naval Veteran. I missed deploying by 18 months, but my oldest brother, Roy, who is one of my heroes he served with 173 Airborne from 1968 to 1973 during Vietnam. He was wounded twice. One of few stories he'd talk about was when he was medevaced. The pilot was wounded picking him up, and after bringing my brother to safety he went back 3 times for his brothers. "Little brother that crazy had bastard balls of Steel." To all our Vietnam Veterans Thank-you. Welcome home.
Thank you sir for your service, all of you men should be honored at the highest level possible for what you all went through and then coming back here and going through all the hate, it’s just not right, you will never be forgotten in history, god bless you
These amazing people who served so honorably in Vietnam then returned and worked for and served our nation and society in every way possible on every level from Doctors, Nurses, lawyers,politicians,police,firefighters,engineers educators construction waste management Entrepreneurs clergymen are the core and backbone of America 🇺🇸 THANK YOU 🙏 WE SALUTE YOU WITH PRIDE. 🇺🇸
My maintenance officer, CW3 helo pilot had been a crew chief during the VietNam war and came back to the states to go to WOC school. He trained us to pull the levers on the pilot and or co-pilot seats to remove an injured pilot then lock the seat back. He also taught us to fly the UH-1H helicopter. This was in 1983. I served with numerous VietNam veteran pilots and crewchiefs. Great group of human beings. Well done, Colonel Arnett.
As a young man that must have been one hell of a experience in control of a huey when most didn't even have a car and being shot at couldn't even imagine that situation thank you sir for your service
I had never considered the homecoming welcome to be such an integral part of the Vietnam vets’ experience, but it is easy to see that what Mr. Arnett is suggesting is correct. I recall when troops deployed or returned from Afghanistan and Iraq it was a community affair. Heaven forbid you were a self righteous do-gooder/done-nothing who thought it was appropriate to disrespect one of our men or women. I can personally speak to the return of a navy ship to its homeport and the welcome its sailors receive after a long deployment. Thank you Mr. Arnett for your service, and welcome home!
Not only was it a disgrace how they were treated but the fact that college students, who hadn’t accomplished anything in their lives, were encouraged by flunky professors.
I was still about 7 Y/O by that time - 1962 or so, when there were a lot of noisy plane flyovers at our North of Luzon place in the Philippines flying north from/to Clark Air Base - heard a lot of R&Rs going on with the GIs as well at Angeles, Pampanga and Olongapo City, Zambales. It was only later on in my adult years that I had been wondering what are 'em young USA boys fighting for - and even now - democracy - or purely global domination in business trading?
Unappreciated heros sent or went to war,because they we,re asked to by their country.🙏🏼👏🏻🎖🎖🎖🎖 Then the people that didnt go dissowned them. Absolutely dissgusting behaviour by civilions. Public and guvernment. No help or respect on return. Shame on all the haters Or dissrespecting selfish Narrow minded idiots
Another Excellent program! This one is superb . Wondering if you have his rank as CWO correct? He stated he was commissioned an officer through ROTC at eastern ky university. Even though he changed from infantry to aviation, he would not have dropped in Rank from commissioned officer to CWO. Am I missing something?
@@VoicesofHistory A great interview and a Great person interviewed. He’s cool and disciplined, attributes that served him well in Vietnam. As a fellow Vietnam era vet, I loved hearing his story. I was just wondering if he flew as a Commissioned Officer, likely a LT, instead of a CWO as you have him listed since he was commissioned through ROTC at Eastern Ky. University.
Stay tuned, Gene. I am thinking of going with another story like Larry's for my next video. I have a lot of Huey pilot stories from Vietnam. They've been in my archives for 10-20 years now silent. It is time their voices are heard. With every page of history lost these stories become more precious. History is best learned from those who were there.
@@genemcnabb9389 If you google Larry Arnett, a LinkedIn account comes up describing him as President - Arnett & Associates LLC, without opening it, i don’t have a LinkedIn, but it says U.S. Army 10/1969 - 10/1973, commissioned through ROTC Eastern Kentucky University, Infantry Officer, 2LT, 1LT, CPT. Trained as a helicopter pilot… So good observation.
He’s my dad. He retired as a Colonel, O-6. Not a Chief Warrant Officer. I greatly appreciate the video. We still haven’t had that chat yet, but we will.

Not only was it a disgrace how they were treated but the fact that college students, who hadn’t accomplished anything in their lives, were encouraged by flunky professors.
I was with the 176th AHC in Chu Lai in 1968.
