    I was totally blown away when it got to the Special services portion of the video at 6:41, as I am the life guard sitting in the guard stand. I had just arrived in country and was a pale ghost until 30 days later when I looked dark as Mahogany. Brought back instant memories.

A gate to the hill where they demolitioned the old ordinance was nearby and I had a front row seat one afternoon in a bunker right next to it when they blew 3 trailer loads of high explosives behind that hill.

They has 3 formations a day, called out names, "following 100 men going to the 1st Cav Div or following 50 men going to the 4th Infantry Div, etc. Go get on that truck! If your name was not called, the REMFs and lifers there had a shit detail for you. If there were several hundred guys who were not called, they had a detail for every one of them. KP, fill sand bags, paint the rocks, burn the shit, etc.. If they called your name and you were not at the formation, they said you would get an Article 15 punishment. The REMF's and lifers had it made there. All these men to do the work for them. They were trying to make the dump beautiful, like a Fort benning. Fat slob lifer E-6's.

He was awarded the commendation medal as well as the good conduct medal here after the raids. If anyone can tell me what his day to day would have been here or what he might have seen combat wise when the Vietnamese attacked I'd be VERY VERY grateful. I remember asking him as a kid "did you see any combat?" And he just paused for a second and looked at me with the slickest smile and he just said simply " not much" . Lmaoooo. He told my brother for a school project about 82mm mortars going off most nights. But I'll never know how he earned those medals. Only by being a badass ig lol.

    This is where I was after Basic at Fort Lewis, Washington in 1970, and where I took both the U.S. Army MP basic course, and the University of Maryland Police Academy. From here, I went to Khe Sanh for the beginning of Lam Son 719 in 1971 where I lived until if was over and my MP unit stood down to Phu Bai, then to Chu Lai, and then I left my MP unit, because I had decided back at Khe Sanh to be a U.S. Cavalry Huey door gunner with the 101st Airborne Division, so I was then stationed at Quang Tri where after being a Huey door gunner for awhile, and then an air mobile infantryman for awhile, I DEROS'd from at the end of 1971.

      Steve,glad you made it to our country and safe.But I question your blaming our politicians for losing the war. There are many places to place blame,but the biggest should go to the corrupt South Vietnamese govt. that could not get their own people to fight the war. The US had no business trying to settle the difference between Ho Chi Min communist and a corrupt puppet south vietnamese govt. The blame should go there in all due respect.
