This is my father. He is just as great a father as he was a soldier, counselor, and scholar. I love you, Daddy. I'm very proud to be your daughter. 🥰❤️ Thank you, Larry, for making all the stories I grew up listening to available for everyone.
Ansley, your Father's story of Vietnam is one of my best. I hope your whole family will watch this video. It was an honor to interview him 15 years ago. I want to call him. Please email me his number. Thank you and God bless you. Larry Cappetto, EMAIL: lcappetto@icloud.com
Sir, you helped me with my non combat PTSD. You made me realize my father suffered from PTSD. Transferred some of his to me.
He was none combat aircraft r&d.So l don't know where his came from..
Mine was juvenile surgery, (16)
60 years ago and I'm still terrified.
EMDR is helping a lot
Thank you for your service, before and after.
Great daughter 👏
Your Dad is a special guy....God bless him !!!
Beautiful interview

My wife truly is an angel, for putting up with me all these years.
Thank you Mitchell Young for reminding me of that. God bless Buddy.
Thank you for sharing these stories Larry, it does help lots. Blessings Brothers.
Mitch , thank you so much for your service & sacrifice. Boy oh boy you've taken the word's out of my mouth. I was so fortune enough not to go through what you all had to deal with . I was to young to go through the insanity of war .Bless you : ❤❤❤❤😢
Thanks Rick.
"Great recall".." and story line".."absolutely riveting.."Welcome back to the World Warrior"!!!
It's incredible what a person can see, experience, and endure in war. Our government should be assisting these veterans with anything they need to continue on and live as normal a life they can.
Absolutely, Amen to that.
Thank You, Mitchell Young, U.S.M.C.!! Thank You, Mr Larry Cappetto!! holy cow, Larry, Amazing, simply Amazing!!
Tim, I know how much this story has touched your life. It appears it is touching many lives. God bless you my friend as you find healing through this story. Please share it.
@@VoicesofHistory Thank you, Mr Larry!!
Thank you. For my father, and myself.
Is this your Father? We had a great interview 15 years ago. Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
@@VoicesofHistory No, I am sorry for not being more clear. My sister recently burned all his letters from my father to my mother over a 6 year period, without affording me the time to read them, at least. In doing so she wiped out a large portion of his history, that I wanted to preserve for my 3 sons and others. It's quite a mess, yet to be sorted. When I see these interviews, I think of how I should have recorded his history myself before he passed in 2002. He was a master sergeant , stationed all over the world, as a forward engine change hanger specialist for B 17's and B26, particularly in the North Africa campaign. He held a requisition card that would supersede generals to procure equipment and supplies, and he oversaw 100 men daily. He wrote mom every week, often with poems.
So sorry to hear this about the letters. What a loss. Your Father's story I am sure would have been amazing!!
THANK YOU, MITCHELL. LESS WE FORGET..
HAVE A NICE DAY..
Mitchell I thank God that there's people like you you made yourself so clear in your talk my uncle suffered he passed away about a year ago he was a Vietnam veteran he held in so many ugly things that it saddened me
Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
A great interview. There is a lot to absorb here. I have listened to it twice . Thank you Mr Young
Sir. Thank you for unleashing 'your burden'. Great work yet again Larry.
Thank you Reginald. Always good hearing from you.
38:30 that is unreal. You get so callous in war.
I agree David. Mitchell's story is very gripping.
After humping the jungle and being shot at for a year I'm thinking that camping out for a few years back in the states was a cake walk.
I agree Peggy. Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
Semper Fi Brother. I fight with PTSD ever single day. Welcome home
That was very good. The poor guy went through a lot God bless him.

This man/ soldier was very articulate, not only did he tell the truth but he explained it so even a civilian could understand the misery of battle. Just so you know and I know they kill the enemy, age has nothing to do with it. It wasn’t like they killed innocent people, they killed the enemy before the enemy killed them. This man should be commended for his service and also for explaining his circumstances under duress. Those soldiers didn’t get off the plane in Vietnam knowing that they would be fighting people of all ages and that’s the shame they were all put under. God Bless this man, I believe God was watching out for him and we will never know the reason. I pray that he doesn’t feel guilt, because he was put there without the knowledge of what was really happening. I will always be watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸 May God Bless this man and you for bringing this information to the masses, it’s very needed. I can only hope that younger generations are able to see and understand what this man has gone through. He wasn’t alone in this conflict (WAR). PEACE !
P.S. You did a Great job in this interview. All the right questions, God Bless you for your fine Journalism in this subject.
Thank you for your kind words Kirby!!
He's the greatest communicator I've ever heard. It seemed like he was painting a picture and making you "feel" everything while he articulated. Thank you, Mitchell, for your service during and after war.
Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
This man’s insights on PTSD are spot on!
I agree. He is still working today as a counselor at 76.
My Father served 66-69 USMC medivac out in 67. My mother said when he came back he was not the same. I know he had sever PTSD. My brother served USMC 91-17 6 combat deployments and he does exactly the same thing our Dad did. PTSD is a serious condition. God Bless You Dr Young
My Dad served three tours in Vietnam. His four brothers all served in the military as well. One brother made the ultimate sacrifice in Okinawa on 5-4-45 at the age of 18. You videos are amazing. Thank you for making them.

I’m sorry for the loss of your uncle. My mom’s nephew was killed piloting a B24 over Germany in 1943. I’ve known many vets of WWII, Korea & Vietnam. One lovely man who lost an eye on Peleliu as a marine lieutenant.
Raw, powerful, compassionate, real, honest, brutal and one if not the best story you have ever done Larry. Excellent work! I like that Mr. Young is a therapist and his work regarding PTSD is so needed. I hung on every word spoken and I’ll probably revisit this story many times over. And, yes, Larry, your work here is very important because you give the veteran from whichever war he served and fought in a voice and everyone needs to be able to be heard and hopefully to a degree healed. Thank you Mr. Young and thank you Larry.
Jay, many thanks for your kind words. They are greatly appreciated and very timely in my life right now. I believe I suffer from a form of PTSD after hearing all of these stories the past 20 years and now finding that there are very few if any people I can talk to about what I have heard and seen through the eyes and ears of my Veterans. I compare what I am experiencing to the war veteran who has seen human beings at their worse. Death, carnage, destruction, mutilation. I have heard about human beings at their worse and visualize every traumatic moment they share with me, and yet I have no one to talk to about it. Some days I feel like giving up. And then I receive a comment like yours. It has taken a real personal toll on my life and family, something most people watching my films have no idea. I suffer in silence daily!! I feel I am helping these Veterans bear the weight of their burdens. At times it is more than I can bear. My faith in God helps me through the difficult times but it would be nice to have someone on this earth to talk with also. I am sure I am exhibiting some of the same symptoms of PTSD these Veterans do. They call it secondary trauma and echo PTSD. Thanks for a listening ear.
I’ve been watching all of these lately because I am almost 59 years old (born and raised in the USA Massachusetts) and know almost nothing about the Vietnam war, other that what my dad (a Greek immigrant) told me about it. I even went to college ( in Massachusetts) and don’t know anything about it. Most left wing Americans (my age) don’t want to talk about it. God bless these men and women who suffered and died in this gorilla war. Sounds like many were drafted and thrown into it. Thank you for your service and those who gave their lives during this war, May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have you in Abraham’s bosom. Thank you for your service.
We must talk. This comment says a lot. I am happy your are learning more about Vietnam from these stories. I have hundreds of stories that I recorded over the years in my archives. Please reach out. God bless you!! EMAIL: lcappetto@icloud.com
I could listen to this man all day long. Welcome home and thank you for your service !!!!
Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
Please remember the ones that didn’t it back home!!
Thank you, Marine, for your sacrifice. Semper Fi
One of the best interviews I have listened to on combat and Vietnam War. Mitchell gave an excellent explanation of what he and others went through in war. Very well-spoken man. I could listen to him all day. Thank you for service...
Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
What a great narrative about his experiences. The level of suffering for the ensuing years is ignored and leaves our vets alone and unable to cope with the memories.
They are Suffering in Silence!!
Great story, great man, extremely well spoken and brutally honest. Thank you for all your service.
This was by far the best interview yet. Mr. Young thank you for your service, for opening up, and for your work with other combat vets. I am going to somehow convince my dad who is a Vietnam vet to watch this in hopes that he will open up to someone and possibly heal some. To my knowledge, he's never spoken to anyone about his time in Vietnam. All he will say when asked about it is "you don't want to know" and usually follow it up with something along the lines of "there are things I wish I didn't know" and his favorite thing to respond with is "best I can tell you is it's no fun dodging bullets" There are so many times over the years and even today you will catch him staring off into space, but can tell by his eyes he's back over there. I love my dad and would give anything for him to find some sort of peace before he passes. Again Thank you for everything you do and have done Mr. Young!
Kevin, I will pray your Father watches this story and it helps him heal and open up. Many of my Vietnam Veterans felt a weight lifted off their shoulders after talking to me. Please keep me posted. Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
This is the first interview that I had to go back and watch twice. So much good and compelling content. For me, Mr. Young peeled the layers back and exposed so very blunt truths. I wish this had been available in 2005. It could have changed the outcome of lives. Thank you again Larry and Mr. Marshall for bringing it to us.
Thanks again, Gil. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
As God bless these men that went through so much and thank you Sir 👍🇺🇸
Oh my goodness. I am a 77 year old Marine, Vietnam era, and I have never heard such a poignant, eloquent and exact depiction of Vietnam, the role of our servicemen, and PTSD, the silent but potent disabler of people's minds.
I knew something strange was taking place in listening to Mitchell's initial dialogue only to realize that he is the real deal of a combat Marine and he is also a Psychology Phd who happens to be very effective. Although I never fought in direct combat, years later after my enlistment was over, I was accidentally shot and suffered a comminuted femur with a total femur reconstruction. Never knew why, to this day, I am very "shaky" about things but now have a better insight into my issue.
Thanks Mitchell for your sacrifice, service and dedication to our country and its warriors. God bless you and your work.
He described a combat veterans emotional roller-coaster to a T . Wow

This man's desciptions and talk on ptsd is valuable
Very valuable!!
Wonderful speaker......and such truth. Our family has a looooong history of being Marines, so I understand. I remember waiting at the door for my daughter and my son’s friends to bring him home - we were having a big party, too. And when I saw my son......well, I didn’t know my son. His neck was so small, it looked like a string bean! I immediately thought, “ this party was not a good idea.”
My son is a retired Marine now at 50 yo, He and I have had some very transparent conversations about things the Marine Corps “did to them”..........and I finally understood. He’s been in psych therapy over 3 years, and doing fantastic......I loved how you described PTSD. Exactly it.
God bless you and safely keep you Dr. Young, in Jesus’s Name I ask this, Amen!, Keep up the wonderful job with our wonderful Veterans 🇺🇸♥️🙏🕊✝️✝️🙋♀️💕💜🕎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Ty sir
Very moving. God best this man and all those like him. May God give him peace for the remainder of his life. Thank you Mitchell for your service. Those that have not experienced the horror that these men have will never know what they really feel. Love them all.
Thank you!!! God Bless You!!!
I never hear you ask the most important question in my opinion, why did the us fail to succeed in vietnam? As a kid I was fascinated by veterans and our wars and I would listen to their stories whenever they would talk about it, the few times they would talk about it. I never questioned
Soo good..xx
Have always reasoned why combat veterans could push past PTSD that the good they done outweighs the dark. You have explained this for a layman non veteran can have a better understanding. Thank you for your service during and after.
I understand him about the “whiners”. I was only a POG air winger Marine (2002-2007), but I can relate to being irritated by the softness of civilians.
I would be tripping or high on any hallucinogen i could find if i was there. All hallucinogens enhance any martial skills with me. Always has been.
That hour went Fast. Thank you for telling your story.
This man's message should be seen, heard and discussed with all of the young people growing up today! I think Mr. Young is convincing and credible enough to help this country change it's course and perhaps provide a better outlook for everyone's future! Great work Larry and keep it up! Take care!
Another great comment. Thank you John for your kind words.
What a great interview - Mitchell really shed a lot of light to me on PTSD - I'll never forget him and his story and it changed me a little. Thx
A powerful story. One of my best. Thank you for watching.
Mitchell Young talking about PTSD hit home w/our Religious Trauma; he pointed out that #ptsd isn't limited to War! Thanks for sharing, Larry... we signed up on your website. ✌️🙏⚡️
Just read your comments. Thank you for sharing my story. This is one of my favorite interviews. Glad to have you aboard!! Feel free to reach out via my website: larrycappetto.com

This was an outstanding interview. Like many have said I could listen to this patriot all day. Thank you for your service. Thank you Larry for your commitment to these war heroes and their stories.
Thank you for your kind words. God bless you!!

Thank you Mitchell Young for sharing youre vietnam experience. ❤.
On of my all time favorite stories.
Mitchell Young. What a man. His experiences in Vietnam, his PhD, his counsel to Vietnam, Iraq & Afghanistan vets is invaluable. We know so much more now. If only our Vietnam vets had the services available today. God bless Mitchell. An American warrior.
Ive watched this 3 or 4 times and it gets better each time and helps me understand more of what the hells wrong with me! God bless you Mitchell and Larry
Thank you Levi. One of my most favorite and powerful stories. God bless you!!
Read "Achilles in Vietnam"...
You’d be fine to smoke weed before a firefight… wouldn’t be smart to smoke it cause enemy could smell it but I mean shit weed could calm you lol

Super Useful Interview. He has really thought this through. Always knew some of these things, but he lays it out very well . Thank You , again.
Soft is the exact word. Whining is a pure gift. You just get everything handed to you on a plate, while the 80 percent of American citizens didnt have it easy from day 1. We were not put here to not suffer some. I think maybe its just lack of a higher power, that we live then die and that's it. What a dread way to think. God gives us challenges, it's just so many fewer that want to take on the challenge and see what there made of. This man is correct, you just had to be there to understand him.
Thank you Kevin. Great comment.
Thank you Mitchell.
In my life I have seen both blessings & curses in equal measure. Sometimes it can even be hard to tell which is which. Maybe its both at the same time but one thing I am for sure about is that miracles 100% do happen.
Well said. Thank you.
This interview is one of the most interesting of the hundreds I've seen. You have courage and insight that most won't/can't express. I salute you.
Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
Thank you Mitch, please consider that God Loves you so so much He sent His Son to die for you. Read the book A case for Christ by Lee Strobel❤
AMEN!!
Excellent interview!! Thank you!!
One of the best interests views I’ve seen!! Talking about PTSD is very interesting ! Danang 68/69 .
I went on some garbage runs in 1969. Remember little kids from 4 to 12 years old, running alongside and jumping on a 2 1/2 ton truck that was rolling down the road. It was terrifying watching those little kids risking their lives for our garbage. Once while leaving the dump, an ARVN soldier came running out with an M1 carbine firing over the kids chasing them out. Whole thing was a heartbreaking mess.

Thank you Larry and Mitchell for this interview. I have watched it several times now.
I can't thank you enough for your all of your interviews.
I watch at least one every night.
I need to get on your website and adopt a veteran.
God bless you Larry and God bless all of our veteran's
Thank you Albert. Mitchell's story is one of my all time favorites. I look forward to hearing back from you.
Thank you so much for service and sharing never forget 🇺🇸
I disagree with you, Mitchell. I think you are a very loving and compassionate person. Being a "people person" is over rated.

I have Ptsd ,but I never went to war. My PTSD is from 2 bad parents, a molestation and a rape. PTSD is no joke, I sit alone in my camper, I can't trust anyone, and I am always on edge watching for trouble. I feel bad for our vets, I was tested by the military at my high school on a shooting range, and I got 47 out of 50 . The army wanted me to enlist, but because of the PTSD I had that I didn't know about it, I missed an opportunity at a long career in the military. I really feel bad for our vets, and I like to say thanks for putting your lives on the line.
Twenty five years after returning from Vietnam, I wrote a poem. The poem was my therapy for my PTSD that was blossoming in my life at age 49. I told someone...I told ME. It helped me go on when all seemed black...the night terrors, the feeling if distrust in everyone around me, the startling sounds, the details of the events. It can be read at the Co. A, 227th AHB, 1st Cavalry website under 'stories'. It is titled "My Package". It helped me see that life goes on...with it or without it. Sure, I think about it nearly every day, BUT it doesn't hold me back much anymore. VN '69-70
All I can say is this... thank you for sharing and helping me understand me some.
Thank you for sharing, blessings 🙌
Thank you for your service 🦅🇺🇸
Sir, perhaps by the telling of your story, some of us listening will carry some of your burden. Thank you. Peace.
Thank you for this outstanding veteran and human for having him give his experience. Much appreciation... Mr. Young, Our journey in this life is made difficult, so that we may go thru experiences to teach and help others. You are doing what you were intended to do on your journey. Be kind to yourself for you are worthy! From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran. Semper Fi my Marine Corps brother!
Charles, I have saved your comment and will try to pass it on to Mitchell. Thank you for watching and for serving. God bless you.
Great interview, I always try to watch you interviews as soon as you release them
Glad you are out there Daniel. Thank you for your comment and for watching my stories. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
incredible story... interesting how young is able to internalize the memory of all the horrific shit he experienced... i believe his education has a lot to do with that as well as facing his demons through helping others cope with theirs... i think we could be friends
Thank you JOSEPH. I will try to share your comment with Mitchell. He is an amazing man with an amazing story. God bless you!
Man.....He truly opened up his heart in the interview,another nice video man.
Thanks again Chris. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
These guys never cease to amaze me. ❤ Absolutely incredible. ❤
I was not a combat vet but I agree if a guy was a combat vet he should be paid a lifetime benefit and I am willing to bet the government will think twice about sending men into combat unfortunately based on the financial burden.

Re:The rotation of units rather than individuals in these new veterans. It did help-BUT the multiple rotations back to the war “undid” what ever good unit rotation may have conveyed. There’s some excellent academic research on this topic.
Veterans should tell their story: They are the only ones who have experienced this phenomenon and can bear witness to the realities of war.
Thank you for your service. God Bless you!

What a great spokesman for veterans! He has such insight into human behavior and PTSD. God saved you for the the work you do now Mitchell. God bless you Mitchell. Semper Fi!
I hear the stories of those who fought in Vietnam, and I wonder if these soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen don't make up the Greatest Generation. I don't know, it is just a question, and I take nothing from those that served in WWII. Of course when I say Greatest Generation, I am not referring to the generation of cowards who went to Canada and left their obligation for others to fullfill, and I am certainly not referring to the vial, disgusting group that hid in a pack and attacked our men and women who served.
It takes a great person to serve in an unpopular war, whose failures are exaggerated and blamed on those that did the work. However, those who served did what the country asked while others shrank back in cowardice, or attacked the brave in an effort to conceal who they were.
Likely is, the Vietnam war did not have the Greatest Generation, but our men and women in uniform during Vietnam can stand with pride next to the combat warriors that have fought for this country in our too many wars. Mr. Young, and the others who served in Vietnam, are among those great defenders of peace. God bless you all.
Wow, what a great Man, Very enlightening, great speaker, intelligent, and his Knowledge just flows, both of his service in Vietnam and as a counselor, sir, you ARE One of the Greats, i thank you for sharing, and absolutely thank you for your service. 💪🏼💪🏼👍🏻
Thank you sir ,
You opened my eyes I have ptsd from family members dieing from cancer,
Thank you for ur service we love you an all our vets ,grand fathers ,my father ,an nephew
My flag flys for u sir an my father ,grandfather an nephew an all how have an are serving our great nation,god bless you
Thank you for your comment about Mitchell's story.
Thank you for your service. I sure can relate to what this man is saying. Ptsd has destroyed my life. Been through many years of therapy but will never go away. My mind is always ready for conflict but my body is worn out. I can’t take being around others. I tend to keep to myself. I needed to hear this. Thank you for sharing.
Ed your story needs to be here too.
Jesus gives insight and peace. Life and church aren't perfect but I'm glad I gave a listening ear to the Gospel, for better or worse. Thanks, Thailand Paul 73
Thanks for your story very enlightening glad you made it a bless all who came home broken and those who didn't
I wasnt in combat and never fired one round at another person while I was in Vietnam. I was in the rear working on helicopters but we were fired at with rockets and mortars' and in my case was almost killed by a sniper. After 6 months my girlfriend sent me a dear john letter that really messed up my mind and caused my heart to turn to stone. I spent two years in Nam and when I came home just like you said my heart was hard and I spent alot of time by myself and my first marriage did not last. I believe any person that goes to war and experiences the sounds and destruction that war entails will have PTSD, I have it and it has never gone away. The VA has helped alot but it is still there, I am now 74 years old and can still remember almost everyday that I spent there and all those I served with.
You are a true hero and it was great to hear you story.
Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
Mr. Young you are certainly one of the most unique interviews I've ever seen. Thank you for what you've done for people like myself. Each time I see one of Larry's videos, I'm reminded more and more how grateful I am and how much more people should appreciate what you sacrificed by going to Vietnam, and we can't thank you enough, as far as I'm concerned. My mother in law, told me some stories about my father in law. They didn't get together until years after he came home from the war, and he used to wake up screaming, and ready to kill her or anyone near him, in his dreams, he was in Vietnam, I can never understand what that was like. Albert Franco, he was my father in law, and he was a great guy. He was a medic in the war, and also became a POW. Welcome home Sir, and God bless you and your family.
GREAT comment and words Charles. Thank you!!!
