- Almost 50 years ago today, the last American troops were pulled out of Vietnam, signaling the end of U.S. involvement in what’s turned out to be one of the longest wars in history.
I fought there too, I can never forget, I served in Laos, saw some things there that an 18 year old should never see
Operation Lam Son 719 ?
@@robertisham5279 Yep, remember it well, I was a corporal at the time, different times completely.
I was a 11B in Viet Nam and I return there frequently in flashbacks and while sleeping.
Welcome home brother..I’m right there with you I think about that place all the time….will never forget nam…68/69 25th infantry division…thank you for your service..
You are a badass thank you for your sacrifice sir
My brother came home from Nam, but was not the man he was when he left. I salute all of you who served. He died 4/21/24 and I want to hear your story.

Marine of our wars my two hearts a father to brother
I was with the 9th infantry division in 1968 and fighting in heavy combat changed me for the worse because I can't still hear combat some nights before bed and it feels like something or someone is following me when I turn around to see what it is but no one is there.
Was sent to Nam as a 19 yr old Marine grunt & combat engineer. Spent most of my time in the central highlands in and around Pleiku and AnKhe. At 20, I became a squad leader. A tough job for a country kid from Indiana. I can still remember the names of my squad members, especially the only young man who i lost. (Time out) OK, i'm back. His face is permanently etched in my mind and in my heart. PFC Norris, "i think about you everyday and I'm sorry I couldn't save you".
Poor guy, war is hell.
Welcome home Sir!

Old man learned the hard way.... don't fight an unprovoked war for a country that doesn't care about you.
Thank you. As a Vietnam/Draft resistor...I figured that out at 18 years old.
You do realize, some didn't really have much of a choice.
@@wendigoe That's a very dangerous comment to make. EVERYONE had a choice regarding Vietnam. What differentiated people was the value they placed on the consequences they might experience. Every person has to be their ultimate conscience, not a group or a government. That includes the USA.
@@topgeardel Sure. You ever think of the perspective of the kids who didn't wanna go to federal prison if they got caught? Or were tempted over one of their friends going? I know everyone has a "choice", but some only saw one option. Especially back then. You'd get borderline disowned from even thinking about dodging a draft. Ain't nothing dangerous about being open minded about choices and freedoms made in a government that plays with them daily.
@@wendigoe Maybe I didn't mention that I am a Vietnam/Draft resistor. What would you like to educate me on since I lived "back then".
Why don't you start over...lol.
Start acting like WW2 vets....
You realize ww2 vets had a lot of problems from bottling it all up and plus it can be argues that Viet vets saw more combat than that of ww2 vets and they weren't given any opportunities to talk about ti with fellow vets so that it can lessen the severity.
Thank you for your service al
