- Steve Manthei was born Janesville, Wisconsin, in 1949 and was drafted into the Army in 1969. After training at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and Fort Polk, Louisiana, he was sent to Vietnam. He was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division, and served most of his tour as a machine gunner in C Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment. His unit operated in the area around Camp Evans, in the A Shau Valley, and finally on and around Firebase Ripcord in the spring and summer of 1970. On July 2, he was wounded when his company's position on Hill 902 was overrun, but he returned to field a few weeks later at the end of the Ripcord campaign, after which there was much less activity. After his tour in Vietnam, he served out the last part of his enlistment at Fort Carson, Colorado.
Thank You SIR......for everything.
Thank you for your service and welcome home, brother...71 yo Navy Veteran
This man has GOT to write a book,or HAVE it written by a ghost-writer;amazing,amazing recount of what he went through and such detail,that it`s gotta be written......Absolutely riveting......Thanx..
The Book RIP CORD is great.
That Battle on hill 900 he was in was terrible. The CO dropped the ball. Apparently his Hammock was the first thing hit by RPG fire.
Thank you for your service 🙏
I know this is about Vietnam but regarding his partner, I have never been married and maybe this is why I find this amazing. Having married before departure, his wife did a runner on him, and when he came back he went out to California, retrieved his wife, got a lawyer, got her ‘sorted out’ and pregnant and that ‘was good. ‘. Right there…I wouldn’t have…but this guy knew what he wanted, and did what he needed to do to get it, and retrieve it.
How could he ever trust her again? I wouldn't bother.
So sad about his brother.
Stud!
