Love you Larry you’re doing a great service. 9th 4 47th 1968 69
Thank you so much for this! Tom Casey is a hero and a Marine forever, He is also my Dad. A truly Amazing Man and leader in service for his country and at home for his family! This was a Beautiful gift for us to be able to see him and hear his voice again! Love you so much Dad! We appreciate your fight for our Freedom!❤️
Tamara, what a surprise to find you here. I was blessed and honored to meet your Father and record his story over 16 years ago. He is also seen in my popular Vietnam Remembered film on this channel. I would like to reach you. Please contact me through my website. Thank you kindly. Sincerely, Larry Cappetto- WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
God bless you, Tom and your family
My brother was killed by a North Vietnam Sniper , in 68 . Hence i graduated Marine Scout Sniper School 2/24/79 on My 20th birthday!
God rest your brother's soul. You must reach out to me with your story. EMAIL: lcappetto@icloud.com
Hopefully you’ll reach out to him and tell your story.
I enjoyed hearing Sgt Casey's voice. Strong and trouble free, but you could still hear the impact the loss of American life had on him.
I recall watching a program on Vietnam Snipers a number of years ago, and someone asked the Sniper he was interviewing if he was troubled by the many kills he had made. The American Sniper reponded, "It's not about the number of enemies killed, it's about the number of Americans you save."
Thank you Sgt. Casey for the many American lives you have saved.
Well said my friend. Your next story in on deck...
@@VoicesofHistoryThanks Larry!
That's a good perspective.
My prayers go out to Mr. Casey's family and may he rest in peace. Thank you for spotlighting his service and recording his story. God bless and Semper Fidelis.
Glad you were able to view Tom's story. God bless you!!
Larry thank you for doing this my dad was in Vietnam in 1965 he isnt to phone savy but i send these videos to him and he loves them. I served in the Army 82nd Airborne and my son was 4 yrs in the Air force. We are a proud veteran family.
God bless your family Shawn. Please thank them all for me for their service.
Another great interview of a Vietnam veteran. May you Rest In Peace, Mr. Casey. Thank you, Larry, for your great love of our veterans.
It's been an incredible journey these past 20 years.
I knew this man all my life, don’t get any better than Tom Casey! 🦅🌎⚓️, love you Tom, rest easy!!!
You knew Tom?
This gentleman could be a double for my brother in law. Thank you for service Tom.
Yet another excellent 60's MARINE. The Corps formula works, its timeless
The quote from Tom's wife got right to the heart of the whole story for me " quality people " .
I'm glad Tom was on our side. Volunteering to be a sniper instead of something a lot less risky. 100 percent American, ad discipline to the end. Thanks Larry for the great interview.
LARRY CAPPETTO you are as hero dont beli5tle your self you are a hero of finding and defending this country and to be ahero fo me and many of us
These videos are priceless...Glad you was able to interview this good ol Carolina boy close to my neck of the woods...WOW what a man and story.
The best Chris. His story will live forever!!! Glad you watched it.
GREAT MAN INDEED.WELCOME HOME AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
Thank you kindly.
“I just know too many names on the wall” really got to me. RIP Marine. Job well done.
Stay tuned for my next video short with this quote...
What a great man! I wonder if he would even recognize the country today that he fought so hard for.
Not likely, I sure as Hell don’t.
AGREED!!! A country divided against itself cannot stand. Some of Sergeant Casey's remarks like many of my Veterans are truly prophetic.
@@andrewcondrey9131Welcome home sir. I cannot image what you experienced, but thank you for your service. I have an uncle who returned home from the war, but never really came home. Never spoke about it. I discovered Vietnam in junior high school when a camp counselor who was also ROTC gave me a book about the 173. After I finished he pointed out his father was one of the soldiers in the book. Needed to know more. Movies, books, SOG, SEALs, you name it. Basically my major in college. Army following that. Visited Vietnam a few times including many of the historical war sites. Very humbling. That being said it was not what I expected at all. Dior stores in Hanoi. Capitalism is victorious and the era of political communism continues to fade as citizens continue to educate themselves. Heck, I did business with a travel agent through their 5 year old daughter who learned English from Mickey Mouse cartoons on RUclips. In the end the better systems will prevail.
Thank You for your service Sir. Beautiful salute! 🇺🇸👍
Very welcome.
What a great American. I am sorry he is gone and boy what a salute a true Marine
Semper Fi
This guy is like an itemized statement of what the Corps' builds into common teenagers, he represents it all. SUPER
Our Vietnam veterans are badasses god bless our Vietnam vets !
Thank you Thomas for your services.
Thank you Thomas American sniper and US Marine for such an incredible interview I'm proud to see your story. Thank you for your service and sacrifice sir God bless you and your family.
Thank you for my Dad, Tom Casey! May God Bless you as well!
Thank you for documenting these amazing stories. Our Vietnam Vets are in their 70s and 80s now. Future Americans need to hear these great men
Yes, the Vietnam Veterans are almost the same age of the WWII Veterans when I started recording them over 20 years ago.
What great man 👍
Excellent video! Thank you for helping this hero share his story.
Great American Hero.
Thank you.
Very good interview. Sgt. Casey was a an amazing American.
Simply Awesome!. Thank you!
Thank you for your service and for sharing your experience.
Thank you so much for this interview. It was especially exciting to see an interview with one of the heroes of 13 Cent Killers. Tomorrow I'm going to start rereading it. Thanks again.
Thank you for your service. Glad you made it home safely from your tour of duty. God Bless!
Thought of you Ed when I was working on this story. Tom was an amazing man, one whom the enemy feared.
@@VoicesofHistory yes the sniper was feared by the enemy in Vietnam. Most snipers had a bounty on their heads.
I recently visited the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington and wish I could reach back in time to interview the men whose names are forever etched in black granite. Thank you for your sacrifice fellas ! 🇨🇦 Also, thank you for taking the time to produce/preserve their experiences .
Good to have you with us. I have many Canadian war stories in my archives too. Would you be interested in sponsoring some of them? Larry Cappetto, EMAIL: lcappetto@icloud.com
Larry another great interview . I really appreciate hearing these veterans tell their story . He had a detailed job as a sniper . He was an extreme assist to the men he was with . If you could hear Thomas. Casey and Conway Twitty. talk to each other you wouldn’t know who’s talking !
This is an amazing story. He gave me a copy of is book, "13 cent Killers."
Fabulous interview…what a great man. Thomas is a dying, breed….
Preach it Larry!
AMEN brother Chris. As long as there is still breath in me...🙏
Shared all around! Thank you so much for putting this out here!
God bless!
Thank you Wesley!!
Thank you Thomas for youre service. Thank you for youre stories. 💓 Thank you for Truth.
God Bless you
Led 48 "combat ambushes"(what's the difference between a "combat ambush" and an "ambush"?), 35 raids, 12 operations...
This HERO fought the whole war on his own... What a legend.
Another priceless interview of yet another true American! Great man, great interview and a great message! God bless our veterans and our country! 🇺🇸
Inspirational. May God continue to bless this nation.
Thank you William.

Just read dear mom and ward speaks of Casey. It great to put a face with the book. It would great to meet him. Outstanding Marine
He was an Amazing Man and Dad! He passed 2 years ago. His legacy lives on.
GOD BLESS YOU SIR YOU HAVE ALL MY RESPECT GLAD YOU MADE IT HOME. SEMPER FI
These men are/were true Americans, a country long gone. Those of us who remain, the “UN-woke”, are the remnant…we’re residing here, yes, but are without a country.
Very honest and brutally true/accurate words Andrew. Thank you for your comment. Yes we are the remnant few. God bless you!!
Indeed my Brother. The DC Cartel and UNIPARTY have destroyed our Constitutional Republic behind the LIE of “our democracy” and many others. What a Damn Shame.
@@VoicesofHistory @andrewcondrey9131
I stand with you. Crazy times
True American here. Until I die. I'll teach my son the same. He's 11 months old. Have to teach
You Men are our true hero’s , don’t let others silence mislead you . We honor and respect your service and patriotism.THANK YOU . This will always be your country !You own us and rightfully so ,you gave your lives and limbs to protect us ! We can NEver Thank you enough!
Gahdammm that salute brought a tear to my eye, thank you for your service and RIP Sir
Thank you! A great interview.
Thank you Mark.
Thank you!!!
NO thank you Robert
One of the most moving personal Interviews from a True Patriot and WAR HERO. RIP Tom. Thanks for your service. This channel and endeavor is worthy of high praise! I wish it was shown in the Nations schools. I graduated HS a year before the War was declared over, but feel such a connection. Many of my co-workers in Law enforcement were Vets. Many cousins served in the conflict. Tuff times ahead friends as we face the enemy here now. Prayers for all veteran families and hope I can help this program in the near future ❤️🇺🇸
Thank you for your comment and I so agree with you. We need to get these stories out more into the main stream. It's been a chore. Your help would be greatly appreciated. God bless you!!
RIP Sgt Casey. SF Brother.
Thank you larry.
Thank you Terry!!
RIP TOM.❤
Great individual and humor.
There is a great man!!!! Thank you for protecting us!!!
What a great video, a great man, a great job interviewing....I appreciate it. God bless and Semper Fi Marines.
Many thanks Dr. Thanks for watching. I hope your subscribed to my channel. God bless you!!
@@VoicesofHistory I especially enjoyed that "salute" part at the end....Marines NEVER salute uncovered. You just don't. Thanks again!
Mission complete Sgt.Csaey
THE SALUTE ; He got right !!!!
Welcome home hombre ✌️✌️🙏
Top Shot and Top Man Good bless you sir.
A true American Sniper John.
Salute
What a nice honest guy ❤
One of my best interviews.
This was the best documentary that I've ever watched that was so moving, I injoyed great marine may God Rip his soul 🙏
Awesome interview, I would not want to fight against him in bar tough marine!!!
R.I.P Sir
I wish I was a Christian like larry
James, being a Christian is the only way to go. Please forgive me for my boldness but to be a believer in Jesus as your savior is the only way to cope in the world we live in now. If you are watching these interviews, I believe you understand how these men and women are our heroes. Jesus Christ was the ultimate hero who died for all humanity. He is my first and best hero that ever walked this earth. Most of these soldiers, who went through hell fighting for our country are Christians. They might not of been believers going in but came out as believers. Pray to God to show you the way. He will answer your prayers. If you are sincere in your asking Him. God bless you ✝️
Marcia, thank you for reaching out to James. I couldn't have said or shared it better. I hope your words will touch the hearts of many. Thank you for your faith and your walk with our Lord. My work is a ministry. Have you seen Lloyd's story? God bless you!!
Larry, Thank you for your dedication to the soldiers. I have been so blessed watching all your interviews! I’m telling everyone to tune in to Voices of History because we need to know what these brave people went through. God bless you and never stop what your doing. I am so grateful and blessed✝️☮️🇺🇸
Much respect to Tom from an old Devil Doc (HM3), Viet Nam/USMC 1966.
Could you be Doc McNiff, SIR, from I 3/4
RIP MARINE GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
WHAT A GREAT MARINE.WE NEED MORE YOUNG MEN TO FOLLOW HIS PATH.WELCOME HOME SIR AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.YOU ARE OUTSTANDING HUMAN BEING
had a friend who was an army combat medic he came home lot of problems nightmares seen lot of death.,R.I.P DOUG TERRELL tulare ca.
Yea it's not pretty at all, especially for medics, rip douge, you did good bud.
My name is Levi Preston. Thomas Casey, or as i called him "Grandtom" had to be the best grandfather I could've ever ask for. He was such a great man, and I miss him every day. I had countless memories with him that I will cherish forever. I remember watching all the old war movies and him telling me about all of his experiences, He was one of the bravest and wisest men I have ever met in my life. I love and miss him so much. Was always an incredible man. I still remember his deep belly laugh, his laugh could put a smile on everyone's face, it certainly put a smile on mine! He taught me how to play golf, and he and I watched tons of war movies and documentaries together. He would watch a couple NASCAR races with me here and there since I was and still am a NASCAR fan. Hearing how many different was he was an inspiration was astonishing. Last thing he ever said to me was "Levi, I love you and I'm proud of you." He had also said that in a bible that he had left for me, and I think about those words every single day. What an incredible video! Was always an incredible man.
So glad you got to watch my interview with your GrandFather. It was an honor to meet him and just spend time with him so many years ago. His story will live on through my documentary series, my Vietnam film, on this RUclips channel and on my 24 hour day radio station.
Semper Fi Marine. I wouldn't be who I am today without the Corps.
You needed discipline and structure as your parents failed?
Not a failure of my parents, my father died when I was 17. It was the discipline instilled in me by my father that helped in the Corps. The Corps built on that, helped me to learn that my mind will want to quit long before my body can't go on. The Corps made me push limits and fears, that with the proper mindset, there isn't anything to keep me from a goal. The Corps just picked up where my dad left off. @@Midwest10
RIP Sergeant
Honour & Respect . Lest we forget .
Another American Hero , thank you Sir…Thank you Larry ,I too feel like I’m connected to the U.S.M.C . , though my family’s history and thru the thoughts and emotions of these Great men .
A badass
Larry, i keep going back over your videos as I listen to them as i work.
I only spent 10 years in the United States Army, '86-'96. And i have the honor of serving alongside many many vietnam veterans and believe it or not a couple of men that hit the service at the end of the Korean war.
I served 21 months in the 2nd Infantry Division up at Camp Casey, in South Korea. It was there, as a young 19 year old, i got interested in politics because i wanted to know why we were still in Korea. My eyes have been open every since.
Every conflict since the Korean war was over political pissing contests, and politics hampered what we, as a miltiary, were trained to do. And it was politics that got most of our fellow service men killed. I've been mad every since that day I visited a museum up at Casey and saw the Poplar tree stump that was the result of the Panmunjom Axe Murders of Captain Arthur Bonifas and First Lieutenant Mark Barrett, by North Korean soldiers on August 18, 1976, in the Joint Security Area on the DMZ.
The events steadily unfolding everyday now make me even madder.
I pray for all of my fellow veterans and service members every day. The Lord knows we need it.
*EDIT*
I want to add that I am forever grateful because I know we stood on the shoulders of giants..and this man was one of MANY giants. Lest we forget.
GREAT comment SGTE5. Thank you for sharing. God bless you!!
Oh come on people, hit that like button!!!!
AGREED!
What a rush being a sniper must be!
Great interview...thank you Mr.Casey may you rest in Peace ❤
***In the future Please stay away from Anything Political
At Parris Island, even the manner of getting one’s food tray at chow had a purpose. The same movement was used when being handed a grenade at the range.
Carlos hathcock was also considered on of the best with 93 confirmed Kia
This really brought back memories. I was a very hungover Lcpl at the range at Camp Hanson (or Schwab) Okinawa. Stayed up drinking some concoction they called “mojo”. Still was able to bring it all together and get a score of 244, high expert. Rough morning tho
Captain Bone spurs is the scariest prez ever. ☠️
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Yes sir that was BOB HOWARD WHICH WAS A BRAVE MAN. GOD BLESS
Ron Willoughby and John J Culbertson available for interview?
I would be interested.
I have always wondered about those young men KIAs that I left behind. What could they have achieved if they had lived. Our country has gone down hill ever since that war.
Sgt Casey uses the word ‘SparrowHawk’ several times which means ‘Reactionary Platoon’…. Immediately get into the fight… Semper Fi
Well first off . R.I.P. brother . If not for a few friends a yr. ahead of me in H.S . and coming home and telling me about MC boot . I might have ended up like this guy . But I ended up a medic in the army in RVN. Pretty clear that this Marine was a winner in the MC and life . Great man , and story . Vote FOR our country brothers and remember YOUR Oath .. doc 68-71
I was in a Bible study with Tom.
Please tell me more.
Thought i seen two snipers with scoped garands....
How come there's so many views but there's not very many likes come on people hit the like button
I agree. Thank you Bob!!
Wow! What an impressive Marine! After hearing his Hillary and Obama comments, I wonder how he feels about Biden's "performance"?!
Since he is gone from this earth I can tell you what he thinks...
@@VoicesofHistory love the work you're doing (have done) Larry! Thank you!
We are going to my husband's reunion In Branson in 2 weeks. My husband as a truck diver in Vietnam in 66 and 67.
👍
What an amazing guy. He would be shocked to see the mess this country is in. His concerns about future presidents have been realized in the person of Joe Biden. As a veteran of 24 years 72-96, I find it hard to believe where we're at. I think about my deceased parents and fellow veterans, that like me find it difficult to see what we're seeing in our country today. Pray for America.
Thank you for your comment and for your service. I agree with everything you wrote. My Veterans are rolling over in their graves with the infiltration of communism, socialism, marxism and every type of other ism that is harmful to this great nation. Many of my stories, especially the World War II generation warned future generations of what was to come. We are now living in the midst of it. It's no coincidence that with the passing of the greatest generation evil and immorality are on a rampage in this country. It would be an honor to meet you someday. Thank you for watching my channel and feel free to share it 🙏
