Thank you Bob for serving your country! You taught me a lot concerning your specific job, it’s very interesting. I also worship the WWII Vets also, we owe them much. My great Uncle served on a Tank Destroyer WW2, I miss him very much. Thanks again Bob.

Really good guy. I can relate to many of his memories. Like he said. Let's all come together for the good of this country. I pray that happens some day.
Well now that brought back some memories of the 11th ACR. I was fortunate enough to serve as a SP4 in Long Binh from Oct 68-May 69. My unit, USARV Special Troops, would pull perimeter guard every couple of weeks. It was extremely dark one night when off in the distance to the South there erupted a fierce fire fight and we could see both red and green tracers. The other guys in my bunker told me that the Black Horse guys were out there in the distance guarding us. They referred to the firefight as simply "recon by fire". They said that the units would laager up in a wagon wheel formation and then every once in a while open up with everything they had just to keep Charlie honest. The green tracers were from unit members using captured AK 47s. I was also a member of the Reaction Force. Long Binh was attacked by a large force in the early morning of Feb 23, 1969 and we had to go out and fight off the NVA. The officer in charge of our section took shrapnel to his head and did not survive. The 11th ACR and the 199th Light Infantry Brigade both came to our defense and killed a large number of the enemy. I will always be grateful to both those units and how they saved our bacon. May God bless you and yes, I am very thankful for your service. Welcome home to the land of the all night generators!
Thank you for your service brother

I was an instructor at Ft Knox in the 70’s until the gulf war. Training soldiers on the MA1
M1A I mean I trained the medical portion as a combat medic
Thank you!
Class act. Salute.
Thanks for your interview. Makes me feel better to know others still break up talking bout it like did during my interview. US Army Ret CSM. WWII, Korea, Vietnam.
When did you go back to the states for special forces training?
Speaking of being welcomed home. I had a lady that said that to me and then said. We protested to try to bring you guys home. I was shocked. I didn't know what to say. It bothered me knowing she was a protestor
Honor to the Black Horse!
I think he is making it all up.!
LOL. As a 17 year old boy in basic training I cried myself to sleep the first two nights.
One of the best interviews of a Vietnam vet. A patriot and hero, thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Did anyone serve with him in the special forces?
He never says he ways S.F. WTF
Were you part of an A team?
Sleeping on under or around a tank is VERY DIFFICULT. BTDT
It’s impossible inside….
Don't know why people are taking a pop at this hero he didn't get those rippons for nothing
Special forces training?
As an ex Army Guy (ie. Korean War ), I am a little suspicious of Vets who wear. too many Military Decorations. I could be wrong.
Where did you go for special forces training?
I think his hat needs adjusting.

As,
some came back not nice
why did they spit on you its not your fault... what horrible people live in your country...
Ive now stopped watching this guy.
Democrats divided us then just like today. #letsgobrandon #fjb
I've developed PTSD staring at his hair piece. Scary.
Not the smartest cookie in the box. What we done? 1+2=6. They loved guys like him. Would never be missed. Special forces?
He was not SF.
Period
He didn’t say he was Special Forces. Leftism has addled your thinking. 🤷🏻♂️
