These photos, although they are of US & South Vietnamese forces, are still very relevant to myself & other Australian forces. We were there too & did pretty much the same things, in smaller units. They bring back very vivid memories, which will never really leave us. I served two tours of Vietnam, 1967 - 1968 & 1971, as an Infantry soldier & although that seems like a long time ago now, it still seems like it was only yesterday. Dennis, AUSTRALIA.
@@kazamk5367 Thanks for that, but I don't think that we were any better than our US comrades. We always had plenty of fire & air support from US forces. We all just did our job the best we could. Dennis.
@@bryangustafson1642 Thank you for that, Bryan, but we were there & having found ourselves there we either had to fight or flee. Like your blokes, we chose to fight. As we know, a lot didn't make it back home, but those of us that did will never forget those that didn't. Dennis.
My dad a 20 year marine starting in Korea and serving 2 tours from 65-68 as a combat photographer. It us a shame that none of these men ever get credit for there work
I did 10 my father was killed 1970 I don't recommend living vicariously through your father but it taught me a lot of life lessons and a lot of hardship but most of all love and honor
OMG was I ever that young a grunt. The chocolate milk tore me up remembering buddies who loved it and never made it home. Nam was boredom, soaking wet, wading through water or jumping out the Huey and the terror of firefights. Great job although Hendrix or CCR might have been a better track to flash them with. To all those souls lost may you find the peace and sanity we the living seem to incapable of ever achieving.
Yeah we were so young and stupid. Volunteering for infantry, then airborne. Got to see the real deal after a lot of training which was a long shot from what I saw later. The fear of the combat fights have never left me. I am thankful to God that I survived thanks to Him and my buddies.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! I've never seen any of these photos before! Awesome music to boot! Loved the guys at 6:02. One having a beer, one having a butt!
When you look at these photos, you realise that people today need to grow a spine and stop complaining, we really have nothing to complain about. ( and that includes me )
@@paulinebadenski197 badenski you're right, I served from '74 to '77, my drill sargents were combat soldiers (nixon,worst, duran, torres and first sargent jackson) all of them in A-5-1 at fort jackson.they beat the hell out of us, but we became real men ready to combat.respect to them wherever they are.
if these are colorized, it is an amazing job of it, as a photographer for the last 50 years, your colorizing is top notch....cheers and a job well done, Paul in Florida
I served as a crewman on a m-48 tank in vietnam, Alone with 7 APC's and 5 heavy 52 ton m-48. These tanks were 90mm main with different flavors of ammo, and one with a flame thrower. 4th inf div. 1st platoon B co. 45 very brave american soldiers. 1969.
There is a surprising lack of machine gun ammo in these pictures. I walked around with a light infantry unit for 7 months in 1968 and 1969 and unless you were carrying the mortar or ammo for it or a radio you carried 250 rounds of machine gun ammo.
I suppose that if you are told to stop so the photographer could take a pic of you, you would use that as an excuse to drop the ammo boxes to the ground so you could rest a bit. Again, just guessing.
Thanks for all of y'alls service. I have 2 uncles that were in Vietnam, 1 marine and 1 army and a cousin who was an army medic over there. Unfortunately he didn't make it home.
I was with Alpha 1 1,70/71 worked out of an old French fort, at night you could see for miles.followed far off night fights watching green tracers and red tracers crossing the paddies...Puff fire looked super wicked, solid stream of death.most of theses pictures were army dudes, marines were easy to spot...just look for the 1952 old school Korean War leftover flak jackets...mine was dated 1953.SEMPER FI TO ALL MY BROTHERS !!!!!!!!
I was with 3/7 from late 67 to late 68. We were on a hill that was appropriately designated Hill 37. It had an old French fort at its peak and was along the 'song Tru Bong river, about 7? miles West of Thong Duc. I was told that 3/7 was moved from that hill at some time after I left. We're you the guys who moved into our old home?
52 yrs ago i was there and i find myself so often looking at these pictures and i cant seem to get it that i was ever that young, i wonder how many guys that age would or could do what we did, all my nephew's are amazed at a few things I have sometimes spoke of and what did gain by all our loss?
Was drafted 10 days b4 Christmas 1960. Rejected for physical reason. I felt guilty! Some of my friends an acquaintances didn't make it back alive. I salute All Vietnam Vets!! Well done!!
No disrespect but, "...On December 1, 1969, the first draft lottery since 1942 began...". Typo on the year? Were you in the military of another country?
Today was my 71st birthday, 50 years ago i made it through a rocket and motar attack on Marble Mountain and Camp Faulkner and Marble Mountain Air Field. Thanks be to God that i can enjoy my wife, children and grandchilden. No brag just fact, I to was just big enough to carry a 23 pound M-60 along with my 80 to 90 pound rucksack. Kids these days 17 to 25 have no idea what us old cogers went through. I fight ptsd everyday and night of my life, those in combat NEVER FORGET. Welcome home my Brothers and Sisters
My father did 2 tours in Vietnam and I lived on Camp Pendleton for about 5 yrs and I have often wondered how many Marines that I saw on Camp Pendleton lost their lives these are the best pictures I have ever seen and just looking at their faces it had to be an experience
I missed Nam by 2 years...I'm 61 now and even today I feel ripped off. I went through High School and all we could talk about was Viet Nam..the sacrifices these men endured is the most heroic thing I've ever witnessed. Hats off to the men to fought and lost their lives and to the gents who came back...I will always think of you as my brothers and I am proud to voice that anytime I see a vet..
Better off not being there. Nothing but heartache and nightmares. Nothing good came out of Vietnam. Godam place still gives me nightmares. Loosing your brothers to those unappreciated bastards still makes me sick.
Actually, you were not ripped off. I was there and let me tell you ..........It wasn't all glory. I found 23 hours 40 minutes of boredom and 20 minutes of incredible terror.
i drove a m543 wrecker and drove all around the chu chi area up to tayninh , pleiku, long binh, saigon and out into the field for tank power pack replacements. I Picked up sniper fire while replacing Power packs in the field and incoming mortar while spending the nite in the field. After i got 3 flat tires on the wrecker i repaired them myself spending 2 nites in a RVN post the size of a quarter acre. it was one busy year in Vietnam pushing that wrecker all over the south east asia. when the fork lift was down in the ammo dump i was unloading convoys with all types of artillery ammunition, rockets, small arms ammunition. And when our m88 recovery tank was called out into the field i rode with it recovering tanks and Apcs nite or day.Me being a draftee the only training i received for this job was 2 months in Aberdeen proving grounds in Maryland which was nothing to where i was sent.
@@rarepicturesincolor-theoff1984 thank you very much sir I found it my dad is an old Vietnam vet he was an airborne ranger with 101st airborne and my dad is actually a blues musician and my dad swears to God that this is a Johnny Winters but thank you very much for your help sir I enjoy your videos and keep up the good work
Please let me correct that last statement my daddy is an airborne ranger thank God he's still alive he's 70 years old and still alive . Every time he talks about Vietnam he talks about a place called monkey mountain full by and fan rang if anybody was with the 101st airborne in 1970 please reach out to my dad or or to me and I'll relay it to my dad there's not many of them left
1967 & 1968. Was a member of the 145th Combat Aviation Battalion which was part of the 1st Aviation Brigade. We often said that our unit patch depicted one pissed off hawk because he had a sword up his ass (no disrespect implied or intended).
My husband was in Vietnam. I'm much younger so I only remember the stories on the national news. He tells me stories about what all went on. From kids trying to kill them giving them candy when they run up and g,i, Joe got candy. Some were getting ugly and just terrible to hear so I would say stop can't hear anymore. When we visited the Marines museum I saw all the guns,traps that the Vietnam people put in to kill our soldiers. Oh my God I didn't realize that. My husband was the radio person and would call in the medavace to pull out injured and passed away ones. When we went into the fake helicopter we couldn't stay because it brought back bad memories. The American people treated these brave soldiers like garbage and you all should be ashamed. Alot of them still don't like Jane fonda for what she did.
Man shaving-reminds me of on 8-26-1968 I was on a listening post with 3rd marine division-4 of us was on it and I was the only one who made it back to the lines. Plus man in fox-hole one I would have been in if not on the post got killed. I was the platoon right guide- we ran out of lots of stuff-but top thing we missed was cigarettes - so we got our money together and I rode helicopter back to base to get some. Just walked into the compound and someone made comment about my t-shirt. It had 30 plus holes in it. I had hung it on a bush to dry while one listening post. Up walked a second LT. first thing he said was I needed to shave. We had at times no water to drink. First and only time I wanted to shoot a fellow marine.
Neat pictures. I recognized I think Danang. We were up north around Phu Bai. We lost the most men in 'Nam at Ripcord. RIP. Our real enemy is our own government and the international banksters and Satan.
How many of these brave men who appear in the photos died to protect the interests of the Empire. With the false lie that they did it for Freedom. As they do to this day.
Are some of these pics taken from the book "Red Thunder Tropic Lightning" It's a history of the 25th? Infantry division. Their home base was in Hawaii??
I spent a few weeks with the Kiwis out of Singapore up in Malaysia in ‘88 looking for Communist Terrorists (CT’s). After walking up on a machine gun nest & not seeing it until we were about 5 meters away from it was a scary moment when you realise you can’t see shit in the jungle.
I agree. They just put it in the title for click bait. I'm sure they never served in the military or seen combat. Just making money off of other people's pain and suffering serving their country.
Im amazed, looking at these photos the guys had some time to break had time to eat and play watching over each other. In MAC SOG you dropped in with death on your heals, never a break never time to play never time for anything except to hide your buddys body because you were behind lines, it was alway move move hide move quiet bury your bud move hide move and run and hide sometimes no one came back and sometimes only one but you always lost them, ....always
I know a guy who literally had his ass shot off in Vietnam. They had to make him a new one. I bet he would have grooved on this soundtrack so much over there.
When we fought in Nam we weren't given the honor of fighting in a war it was instead called a police action...when we came home we were spat upon and called baby killers. I'm Di Bo Chet!

Coincidentally I am researching about US soldiers who died in Vietnam. David Wilson was from Arkansas, died in 1967.
Sorry June 12th, 1968
Heroes never get the proper credit.....never...but few of Us recognize their job and we are grateful they provide a graphic proof of what happened.
I did 10 my father was killed 1970 I don't recommend living vicariously through your father but it taught me a lot of life lessons and a lot of hardship but most of all love and honor
Nice to see these pics. I have always honoured the men and women who served in Vietnam. It took real courage to serve so far from home.
OMG was I ever that young a grunt. The chocolate milk tore me up remembering buddies who loved it and never made it home. Nam was boredom, soaking wet, wading through water or jumping out the Huey and the terror of firefights. Great job although Hendrix or CCR might have been a better track to flash them with.
