IWelcome home brother...72 yo Navy Veteran...Semper Fi, Marine, I salute you Sir
I am a Veteran of the Vietnam War. What people sometimes don't understand is that it was a war where most of us were DRAFTED! Unless you are allowed to join another branch you will go into the Army. Not by choice, but by duty! I was drafted in '71, and was able to join a branch. Some went to Canada to evade the draft. But, if you were patriotic you went into the service. When you give the oath of office, basically the government owns you. You become a GI (Government Issue). You learn the Military way, don't ask questions, just do what you are trained to do. Hind sight is 20/20, and there was way too many years that went by after the pull-out before the people realized the sacrifice the soldiers made. Thank God for that, it may have been a little late in coming. I did not serve in combat, but have the greatest respect for those who did. SGT. Gall, thank you for your service. God Bless, and keep you!
From this Veteran to you did your patriotic duty whether combat or not.
Good job
Another hero, thanks Larry. Thank you Sarge, RIP.
Thank you Michael!!
I was attached to HMM-261 at New River (Parris Island recruit) and they were a great bunch of Marines back in 73-74. We cared for one another back then bc civilians cared little for us! From one Sgt to another, Welcome Home and thank you for a job, well done! Great video of a great man. Namaste. Semper Fi!
Thank you for your service. Rest In Peace !

@@VoicesofHistory I tried to donate 154.96 but it would not take it. Can you let me know what to do again. Thanks brother.
Talking about why the U.S. ended up in VietNam and no one ever brings up the SEATO pact with the smaller Southeast Asian nations,that we had an obligation to help repel the Communist movement from these weaker countries..I absolutely agree with the reasons of being over there;however,the way we fought the war was almost embarrassing,but that`s a long story for another time.........We signed up long before the war happened,so we did have the obligation to help,and at the very least,we decimated the spread of the Communist movement......Thanx for another great interview...........Steve
Thank you Steve.
Semper Fi from US Army Vietnam Vet. May God bless you in Heaven
AMEN Ron!!
Larry thank you so much for these videos. I found them about 3 months ago and since, have listened at LEAST one episode a day but often closer to 2-3 when I’m working.
I’m 27 years old and have never served in the military, but 2 of my great grandfathers and 3 great uncles served in WW2, 2 uncles served in vietnam, and my father and two of my brothers served in the air force as doctors. These stories have taught me so much about character and life, as well as the character of these wonderful men. It’s also taught me to value the freedom that I love, so much more. I’ve started thanking every veteran I see and now have three friends that were in first air cav vietnam by just starting conversations with them when I see them in my store. Thank you again, these interviews are teaching the next generation what service and freedom mean.
Zach, thank you for your kind words and an excellent comment. I appreciate your perspective as a young man regarding the work I'm doing. Not many people get the heart of the matter and you got it!! God bless your family for their military service over the years. larrycappetto.com
Larry, "Charlie" is short for "Victor Charlie".....the initials, "V.C." when referring to the Viet Cong.
Thank you Carl!!
@@VoicesofHistory You're welcome!
THE FEW THE PROUD THE MARINES !
SEMPER FI!!
What a bunch of dumb questions.. why did they call them Charlie? They didn't call them Charlie, they called them Victor Charles VC, because thats an abbreviation for Vietnamese Communist, the military phonetics for the letter V & C
Larry know's , he is just asking in terms for those who know nothing of the 10,000 Day War.......OUI !
Thank you!!
