I’m a truck driver and I fly a flag in the back of my truck for the country I’m so proud of thank you you’re my hero sir
THANK YOU ANTONIO!!! I spent the first three months of this year producing a services of videos thanking truck drivers for what they do. If you are interested they are all on this channel.
Recently Lee Alley stepped down as the Leader of the 5th Battalion Association. I served in the 5/60th in 1969 with the Charlie Rangers, and have attended every reunion since 2004. Lee has the respect and gratitude of all members of the association. His leadership skills and personable style put so many of us at ease at the reunions. I will be forever grateful to Lee for making the reunions such a healing experience. No matter how busy he was running the reunion, He would take time to chat with anyone that approached him. A remarkable man and leader. I'm glad Larry took the time to interview him. OOh-Rahh to the Bandido Charlie's finest. Lets split another pizza Lee!
Albert, I will share your comment with Lee!! I produced the film of your 2013 Reunion in DC. Do you have a copy of it?
This man has so much American spirit. Respect him greatly. He is spot on regarding patriotism.
Everybody is injured and scarred in war . Lee fully understands that. His testimony helps us understand the lot of the combat soldier and an officer’s role.
Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
I'm a marine corps veteran. I met a army veteran several years ago here in western North Carolina. Every time I visit jack I address him as SIR. Jack was a colonel helicopter pilot during the conflict. In Vietnam. It just comes natural to me. I've got so much respect for colonel Frost. I'm proud of all the American men and women who SERVED. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.......

No Marine spells Marine with a lower case M. Ever.
@@thegapinglotusexperience1251 Damn he was a human that decided to comment and God forbid made a mistake.
@@jeffcrowder1892 You obviously did not have the balls to volunteer for the Corps.. If you had you would know no Marine spells Marine with a lower case M - Ever. He may have made a mistake or lied. Either way STFU and SMB!
@@thegapinglotusexperience1251 oh I imagine I happens from time to time.
So Proud to be part of a Nation that has men like Lee. Thank you Lee.
AMEN Wayne!!

Sorry for your loss, thank you for your dad's service for the Vietnam veterans were outstanding and the best of " that generation " I like to think that we lead the way for the next generation of American fighting men & women from all our services !
Neither I nor any of my family members have a military background. I want to tell you how amazing a rich and educational experience these videos are. Thank you so very much for the work you do documenting these interviews. They have all opened my mind and heart to these lives and a world complely unknown to me.

Thank you Marcie.
Vietnam War Memorial, panel 24e, Line 76 Everett Stratton Jr...
That is my Uncle who I had never got to meet, and I had never gotten to know.
He was K.I.A. Quang Nam province 8/4/1967.
I wasn't born until 5/14/1975...I remember looking at a bunch of pictures of him that my Grandma used to have of him. She also had some pictures of him before he was shipped off to Vietnam.
I believe one other Uncle of mine was in Vietnam as well. He survived. Another Uncle tried to enlist after receiving information of my Uncle Everett being K.I.A. .
I believe they discharged him from boot camp for not being "mentally fit" for service. Yes, it was because he was so emotional from losing his brother, my Uncle Everett.
Wow! His memories are so much like mine it’s amazing. The heat and humidity, getting his assignment totally changed, experiencing the Huey, that unforgettable rotor beat. Helicopter inserts into the bush, all of it. I was in the 101st Airborne. I think any officer who served in an infantry unit has those memories.
Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
I’ve seen this interview in the past but when it came across my screen I had to watch it again. I’d like to thank the both of you for preserving this history for future generations. Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸
Always great hearing from you Kirby. I invite you to check out my new radio station: Voices of History Radio® (KVOH) larrycappetto.com
My uncle was a Platoon Sergeant in an Infantry Unit and had reel-to-reel tapes of his platoon in Viet Nam during what precious little "down time" they could get in the tent city
He used to listen to those tapes on the weekends, drink beer, and cry
Broke my heart😥
I was a trained Combat medic that was never deployed to Vietnam. 1971-73. I was the front man who tried to help the returning combat vets at Bragg. Those who lived to return to the world had a bag of issues. I love everyone of those men.
Thank you Lt. Alley for your service to our Republic 🇺🇸! You and the other Vietnam veterans are a blessing to our country. God bless you all!
I'm not an American but I'm moved by his story. What a great job they did in Nam. What a great officer. Thank you for sharing. God bless you both.
The part about not realizing how much your men loved you brought tears to my eyes. You have borne a heavy burden for this nation Sir. Thank you for being faithfull to the call.

Excellent interview . Thank You both so very much ! I am a 69 yr old
US Army Vet from Ohio . Volunteered for draft last yr of draft . I was sent to German / Soviet border 1972 / 74. Good to hear these men finally talk .
Interesting! I volunteered for the draft in Jan 1970. I was stationed in Berlin '70, '71. With a name like Deitrich, may I assume you were a linguist?
Thank you Lee I’m damn glad you made it home, I appreciate everything you did.
My dad Capt. Kurt Franzinger Jr was KIA in the A Shue Valley June 12 1969 Bco-2nd Bat 501st Inf 101st AIRBORNE
I was with the 9th infantry at Ft. Lewis In 83 I wanted to tell you thank you!!
Your a first class ruck wearing mud roller
Thank you!!
Thank you Mr. Alley for your service that has allowed me to live a life free without having to worry about having to pay a price for that freedom myself. You and so many other magnificent souls have paid that price for me. I am grateful beyond what these inadequate words can express. The debt that I owe to all of you is beyond what I can comprehend.
Thank you Lieutenant Alley. I was commissioned in 1975 just as Vietnam ended, but my son enlisted in 2000 and served 20 years, two years as a scout in Iraq. Thanks for your service and message, I can’t express what it means to me.
Thank you for your service Lt. Alley and finding the courage to tell your story about your time in Vietnam. I served during the first Gulf war and I understand the bonds that are formed between people…..the experience of military service never leaves you and that’s a beautiful thing….the good…the bad….and the ugly! 🇨🇦⚓️🇺🇸
Much respect and admiration for Lee and you Larry. Thank you!
So glad you watched this interview I did with Lee. One of my favorites.
Thank you Lee Alley and ALL your men. Welcome home brother. I graduated HS 1974. My father retired Major, an M.D. 20yrs MT Ground Guard and 20yrs MT Air Guard. He was my hero. We rooted for you brave soldiers from afar. My dad always yelling at Cronkite and 60 Minutes. We fought the war at home. He was, you are - America. Thank God for men like you. My brother in Christ flew Huey's during your time. Oh, what stories! I wonder if your paths ever crossed? I'll be sure to share your story with him. God Bless You Lee Alley. Thank you.
Please tell me more about your screen name. I have a story you might like about Michael the Archangel. Larry. larrycappetto.com/contact
The courage and character of this man is beyond any words that I could offer
I was a very young Canadian Infantry soldier and had the privilege too train a bit with Americans. One night in the field off duty a few cases of beer appeared and we chatted with some Senior NCOs from the 101 ABN. They were Vietnam Veterans and us kids were eager too hear about the war. It was a quiet conversation and they told us about fighting the NVA. The stories....and they were only a few... were sobering and pretty grim. I have never forgot it. We were in awe of these men. CFB Base Borden August 1983.
Lee Alley, I saw the picture of you receiving a medal from General Abrams. It brought so many memories back for me. I served in the Army and was at MACV Command Group and his office was just above mine. I don't know if you knew this but he had his dog in Nam and it was in the office with Abrams. Your story is remarkable. Your experience of coming homme and shedding the uniform and not telling anyone of your service is so typical. I did the same. My kids hardly know that I served. Your story is profound and a record that needs to be honored and kept. Thank you for your service sir.
Ken, I have saved your comment and shared it with Lee Alley. Thank you for serving!!
Lee,after hearing your story it brought me back to 1968-69.....Dong Tam was my home port, I was with the River Assault..River Ron 13...I was a 20mm gunner on a troop transport...I was wounded three times...loved the infantrymen,they hated to ride on our boats up rivers...magnet for B-40 s and RPG 70s, my boat took 11 direct hits that year! Glad you made it...would love to visit with you..I was a petty officer 3 rd class. 19 years old!
When you touched down on the tarmac upon returning to this country, I wish I could have been there to welcome you back. Yourself, and all veterans, should have received respect and honor for your sacrifice from everyone in this country. Yourself, and all veteran, have had my respect and honor from the moment you enlisted. I do not need to wish you well...because you did well, then and now. I'm proud of you.
lT. Served with the 173d Airborne,69,70,71, we are the backbone of our country, it wasn't easy, I'm living a cabin in northern Minnesota, God Bless you brother 🙏🙏
Thank you for watching this story. God bless you!!
Thank you for your service Sir. I grew up during the Vietnam war. Nightly news and newspapers kept me aware of the goings on in Nam. Reality came when my Dad's cousin died there, he was in Cav. In 1975 my registration for the draft was easy knowing the war was over and I could go off to college and fulfil my life plans. You had to grow up fast getting into that jeep. Glad to hear about your experiences cousin, this reminds me how lucky my life has been.
I’ve watched this five times now what a amazing story thank you for your service
Thank you Kenneth. Lee's story is one of my best. Please check my new video from the Vietnam Reunion I attended in 2013 with Lee's group.
Stumble up on this channel this evening . So glad I did. I agree with ,and maby a little diferent view on some things. But like the man said I,, and, He has that freedom. How great that is. That is what being an American is. My dad went ashore on Omaha Beach , and he did not talk. I was in the Viettman theatre in 65 into 66. And I remember being in the airports at different cities with protesters posted there to spit on men in uniform. And being looked down on by older vets. Many people did exactly as he did hide in public. How sad that is. His men have told him he did a good job. He should be very proud and I truly believe he is.
Brought me to tears. Welcome home LT.
One of my best Vietnam friends.
Thank you Sir, you are not forgotten. ❤
The smell he is referring to is exactly that of sweating feet in old leather sandals. It is all pervasive in the 80% humidity and oppressive heat. The good thing is you don't smell it after a few weeks. The worst smell in Vietnam was around duck farms which is really strong.
I wasn't stationed in Bien Fuk but it was a real toilet with mosquito's in clouds and 80% mud. What a wonderful man and leader - we had the best of the best over there - I had a similar experience in that I didn't want to talk about it for 30 years - gave my decorations to my son. Now it's easier as I have had time to separate myself from the experience. I also was a 20 year old 1st Lt. in Vietnam -
What an engaging man, I can see why he's so special to you. His letters to loved ones he sent home touched me deeply. God Bless this man, he's one of the few.
Thank you Steven. Lee is one of my best Veteran friends. We have done a lot together.
You are what an American should aspire to be. Thank you for your sincere service .
I agree John. 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
Wow ! I’m proud of the this man and I’m not even American !!
A true Leader of Men.
Respect sir.

What a warm hearted gentleman. A very moving story. Thank you LT Alley from your friends across the pond 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Makes me cry....what integrity and honor tĥis man wears, but doesn't even know it. Thank you Larry.😢
My father served in Vietnam with the RAAF in '68 and on the ANZAC day parade after it he and his men were being harangued and abused by a bunch of University students and because they were in uniform they could not touch them but I got rather upset being 10 years old and objected to my father being called a Baby Killer. So I attacked them screaming "My Dads not a Baby Killer" throwing punches left, right and center, and being 10 years old when I threw an upper cut at the loudest of them I caught him fair in the nuts. Shut them up real quick and I got all the free lemonade I wanted at the Officers Mess afterwards. Later in life when I was having issues after my service overseas, I bottled it all up until I eventually opened up to Dad in 2006, he helped me deal with it by giving me someone to talk to about my issues and nightmares but then he died in 2008. RIP Dad, talking to you helped a lot and I hope it helped you as well.
I’ve met quite a few service liars (stolen valor) and exaggerators and the thing that sets them apart from real hero’s is their lack of humility. I found out my father in law was a silver star recipient for his actions in the Ardennes from a chapter I randomly read in a book. In all the time I knew him he never mentioned his service until I asked about that.
This is a very rare internet gem and thank You so much for your service Lee.
Thank you for watching my interview with Lee.
THANK YOU LT LEE AND GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER. MY FAMILY LOST OUR COUSIN BILLY IN 1968 20 YEARS OLD IN VIETNAM MISS HIM EVER DAY.

By the grace of God - my family missed the wars by 10 years early and ten years late .
My dad was in the Navy in the " 50 ' s . I was in the Army and the Navy in ' 75 - ' 78 - .
I greatly appreciate what those who fought in battle have done for our country .
Thank you for your service sir. What an amazing interview. I can’t imagine a 21 year old having to deal with the situations you were put in.
Linda you are watching a lot of my videos. Please check out my radio station: VOICES OF HISTORY RADIO - larrycappetto.com
@@VoicesofHistory I have it downloaded and ready to listen! I have told everyone and their friends (lol) about your channel. Just amazing and real content. These veterans deserve for their story to be told. I can’t afford to sponsor one yet but I did donate a small amount to your work. I’m hoping to sponsor a vet soon!
Hey Linda. You are one of my troopers. Thank you for spreading the good news about this channel and radio station. I'm grateful for the donation that you sent. God bless you!!
I am an U.S. Air Force veteran and my father was a Navy officer on board the USS Yorktown and he was a pearl harbor survivor. I took a job as a QC inspector on army helicopters. I had met several guys who were vietnam vets at the base. I always had great respect for them.
Larry, if not for this video, I would have never met LT Lee Alley. God works in mysterious ways. Lee is an amazing human being. Thank you for your dedication to our veterans and current servicemen and women of our country. I saw how courageous the American servicemen were in Vietnam. I owe my life to the men and women who served in Vietnam. Thank you Lieutenant Alley for everything you have done for the people of South Vietnam and the men who served with you.
Thank you John for your love and support of our God, our Veterans and our country. I am so proud and happy to finally be able to share these entire stories. If you are interested in sponsoring a Veteran story please look at this link and share the link with others who might be interested.

I can remember getting a job people didn't want to hired us because they blame us for losing the war l would get in arguments with people telling them how did we lose the war when we won each major battle and that's with our hands tied behind our backs the politicians was in every major decision that was made in Vietnam from bombing to where we could fight what parts of the country we could fight than to come home and have the disrespect that was shown towards us some who were spit upon and to have your own government who you went over there from the get go to have these middle and old mostly white men look down their nose at you and the kicker was some WW2 VETS say it wasn't a real war anyway man it took all these years to finally get a thank you for some it's to late because they are not with us anymore what a waste of human life l could go on but enough l said my little speech
John you are a special individual to show appreciation for your freedom all these years later and pay it foward..... much respect pfc J. Materese USArmy Military police Corp 88/92
I purchased the book written by Mr. Alley, and it is excellent - the stories of his time, the reunions and stories written by veterans and their surviving relatives. Truly inspirational and tear jerking.
Very good interview. Lieutenant Lee Alley is a good man and a great leader. God Bless him and his men. Sorry he and his men had to go through such horrific things for all of our freedoms. We can't thank them enough.
They DIDN'T have to. We had no reason or right to be there.
I am always so amazed watching these stories how courageous men are at such of a young age.
Wonderful man and an example of America's finest. A real leader of men and a hero. The end his talk was very insightful into the reason for the much of the brokenness that was bore by the young soldiers after their return from Vietnam. It was not the enemy they fought that caused their pain but the effort by some to place blame on them to cover the tracks of failed misguided policies. Welcome home Heroes!
I served (Army,SP5) during the Vietnam era...but somehow was never sent to SE Asia. Hearing LT Alley speak I can say I would have proudly served under his command anywhere in the world.
Absolutely a great person and a wonderful interview. God bless this man and thank you for your service
What an incredible, inspirational and important interview.
i am from the freedom generation and not from the U.S. . And thankfully haven’t had that freedom jeopardized or threatened .
Llistening to his memories makes me even more appreciative of that same and precious freedom.
This is the kind of person we need to hear from , and learn from,
cuz no matter how skilled Mr. Alley was in recon or combat , You can tell that he would choose a world without wars in a heartbeat.
If , hypothetically speaking, I would have found myself in the situation of having to go into an insane Vietnam- like mission :
Yes , I ‘m pretty sure I would trust this man with my life.
Thank You for sharing your war time experiences and your recollections .
GREAT COMMENT!!! I will share this with Mr. Alley. He will be pleased.

An extremely compassionate and intelligent Army Officer. I imagine that most Enlisted Soldiers would love to have a 1st Lt like Him. God Bless. 🇺🇲
I was an Army officer during the Vietnam era. Fortunately, the Army sent me to the Pentagon instead of Vietnam. Luck of the draw I guess. My youngest son was an enlisted paratrooper and a mustang Army officer in Afghanistan and Iraq. He was an S3 and S4 in a Transportation BN. He led 60 to 100 vehicle convoys over IED infested roads from Kandahar to area FOBs and COPs. He commanded missions of up to 6 convoys at one time. He saw his goal as doing the job and bringing everyone home. I am glad he went and did just that. We all three seem to think alike. Just recently my son retired as a Major after over 20 years service.
An Army Colonel one asked me what I thought about Army regulations. I replied, "they are a guide for people that don't know how to do their job. They pay us to be managers and managers have to use common sense to get the job done". A big smile appeared on the Colonel's face.
Such a touching story/interview! A good man a humble country boy the perfect leader of men we need men like Lee running the world in my opinion he'd get my vote :) the youth of today could learn a lot from men like Lee .
AMEN!!! I will share this with Lee. 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
That was a great story about the dog.dogs will sink her heart.they are great animals.god bless the soldier that called the medi vac in for him.thank you for the medi vac chopper pilot for bringing him back to y'all.dogs bring you happiness.
Great comment Randall. I love this story about damnit the dog.
Thank you, from one vet to another!
Wow so this interview is at least 10 or 12 yrs old., I'm only halfway thru but what a great part of US history..glad this is preserved and hope he is still kickin..God bless and thanks to all involved.
God bless you!!
I had my comments 'down pat' while watching the interview but, now am tad lost for words. Thank you both for the story. I envy how you Americans think & express yourselves & you unashamed patriotism. I wish we here had more of the same instead of a society hell bent on dividing us; I ask myself 'how did it come to this'?
I am working my way through the listed interviews but am taking it slowly as I deem it should be; out of respect.
Australia
Thank you Bill from Australia. Wow!! I hope you get something out of all of my interviews. I post three stories per week. I have done 1000 interviews the past 20 years across North America.
As a D. A. Veteran from the 9th. Inf. Div. I slow hand salute 1st Lieutenant Lee, you are a hero welcome home Sir. God bless you and God bless America.
An incredible story. You have really helped me find clarity in todays world with your account of the time in Vietnam and after. Thank you Mr. Alley for describing your story and for your incredible bravery in your life. It is great men like you that inspire and help guide this new generation.
AMEN!!! Lt. Alley is one of my dearest Vietnam Veterans. Could I interest you in being the first to sponsor one of my Canadian war stories? Please let me know. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
God bless you sir, I have never served in the military, I can’t imagine the sacrifices you have made, your reward will surely come. I am grateful for your story and your sacrifice.

Man another great interview! Thank you for thanking Larry I haven’t seen a lot of guys do that this is very important work of course without the men on the ground agreeing to do these it wouldn’t happen either! God bless
Lee is now a good friend of mine. I am so grateful for the opportunity to interview these men.
Absolutely incredible. Thank you
Exceptional interview! Thank you both very much for this! I served my time in the Navy, 1970-1971. I was not sent to Vietnam. I was a corpsman who served most of my time at Naval Hospital San Diego. I grew up "a Navy junior" as my mom used to say. I didn't care much for Army people. (This wasn't from the teaching of my parents, just from some of the books I had read in my youth. I believed every day was Army-Navy Game day, and we all hated each other.) I'm proud to say that I've long since changed. I realize most of the Army folks are just like the majority of the Navy and Marine people I've known (and loved) over the years. Lee Alley proves himself in this interview as one fabulous Army veteran and American. Thank you both so very much!
Andy, I appreciate your kind words and will share with Lee Alley. It has been an honor to record and now share these amazing stories. Feel free to share them. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. God bless you!!
A very good interview. I was there at fire support base Cudgel and saw recon fighting. I was with Bandido Charlie 5/60.
Thank you LT. Alley to put your heart out on your sleeve and give us a look into your time in the nam. Thank you for your service. I salute you and thank you for the freedom I enjoy! What a gem, God bless you sir and all of those you have touched!!! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you Sir for your Service and Welcome Home, ...70 yo Navy Veteran
Thank you for watching my interview with Lee Alley. God bless you!!
Thank you, Lee Hailey, for sharing your experience.
My dad, Perry Kilpatrick, was in the 9th Infantry during that time and area. He passed away before I could ever really talked to him about it. He would periodically give a few stories but never alot of details. Would have loved to been able to have a video like this to be able to share with my kids which he was never able to meet.
Thank you for your leadership and compassion. US Army, Vietnam Oct 68-May 69. Welcome home sir.

When Desert Storm was beginning I felt the need that those young men needed myself and other vets to be there. Strange how that feeling came over me. Didn't sleep much that night.

I wrote this Gentlemen, years ago, let him know about my dad serving with B/5/60 in Vietnam in 1968. He wrote me back, sent me and my dad autographed copies of his book, Back from War. It meant alot to my dad. My dad had been wounded March 11, 1968. GOD BLESS THESE MEN!!!
I feel safe just listening to his calm and cool demeanor. Thanj you for your service Sir!
God Bless Lt Alley. Thank you for your service.

Lee Alley thank you for your service sir!! Really enjoyed this interview. I am glad you are doing well. Thank you to all vets for you service!!!
We owe him a dept that can’t be paid back. What a great American and not one time did he take credit for what he did it was always his men and what they did. Great story

This is an incredible piece. What a blessing that you interviewed this man. I've seen so many war films. This is a more emotional film than any I have seen.
@Thomas K, Thomas, thank you for watching my interview with Lt. Alley. I hope you have had a chance to view some of the other stories on my channel. I have spent the past 20 years serving my God and my country through the lens of my camera - "Capturing Courage On Camera!!" I would enjoy speaking with you.

Welcome home LT! You are not alone, much love and respect.
thank you Lee with all my heat, for painful openes and heartfelt honesty, i am humbled
So sad that the Freedoms he spoke of, may not here in the near future. People losing their livelihoods for expressing their views that are not in tune with the progressive movement now going on. God Bless you Sir and all those that have served!
