I am 75 and I barely missed the Tet Offensive in 68' Vietnam because of high blood pressure and a note from my Doctor. I went to our Federal Building in Houston on a Greyhound Bus filled with young Men who were scared to death of going to South Vietnam 🇻🇳 It was an ugly War perpetrated by Politicians wanting to get rich. Unfortunately we had no business getting involved in this conflict. There was absolutely nothing to gain by us being in this horrible War.
My grended is was in that division and I give him all my respect for fighting in that war
Thank you! it's very important to keep history alive!
My dad always stressed that of his 28 years in the Army, the year he spent with the 101st in Vietnam was his proudest and most memorable. He commanded Echo Company, 2/501st from June-December 1968, and Cobra Company 2/501st from December 1968 thru June 1969. He led his men up Hamburger Hill on the final 2 days of the battle. Once at the top, his company was ordered to hold the hill until the last American units left. His claim to fame was that he was the last American to leave Hamburger Hill. Buried at Arlington, Section 81 Grave 306. RIP Dad.
Thank you for sharing your memories!
May he rest in peace in honor and irreplaceable respect.

My Uncle died in 68’ a day after his 21st birthday. 101 Airborne. Now I get to weed wack his grave at the cemetery I work at. I’ll be damned if this country goes to hell under a bunch of traitors in power.
I served in the 101st Airborne, 1st Brigade, 1/327th Infantry Regiment. It was the biggest honor of my life. God bless all Veterans.
I was about to cheese the officers "welcome to Vietnam" speeches but they were giving good advice.
What years was this video shot? I'm trying to find any video of 506 company A, 1st Battalion around 1971. My father was in and im trying to learn more
All I really know is that he was wounded and got mixed up in agent orange and has 2 bronze stars.
The footage used in this video is mainly published by the US Army in 1967. In April 1971, Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry (Airmobile) was operating out of Camp Evans in northern I Corps, Republic of South Vietnam. Perhaps you could try to find some regimental or veterans organisation to find out more..
June 1966 according to the caption in the film
My Dad Sgt Chris Bertalan; 101st RIP; stationed at Camp Evans; served many patrols in the Ashau Valley , survived battle at Firebase Ripcord; f you know of him, please comment.
It Would have been better, without Some of the Music
Sure there is allways room for improvement... however this was 2 years and about 100 videos ago, so why not check out some the later additions to the channel content, (a number of them on the Vietnam war).
None better then the 101

@@Historiespanarna, thank you I’ll definitely look to see if I can find him.
Anyone know a sgt GAGNON kia feb 68?
Respect and welcome home boys because I know you guys were badly mistreated back then and I'm sorry for what you had to endure both in Vietnam and when you came home from the American public. I have four uncles that served in Vietnam so thank you all.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏
Hallo Yankee ⚘ Die Amerikaanse weermag was nog altyd verslaan. Dit is die magtigste weermag in die wêreld. Maar dit kon nie alleen 'n onafhanklike oorlog wen nie. Weet jy hoekom? Omdat die metode van wêreldoorloë verander het. Maar die weermag, wat ondergronds en guerrilla veg, kan maklik die Verenigde State oorneem. Viëtnam. / Laos / Afghanistan / Irak / Somalië. Die Verenigde State is verslaan.
My father served I never got to know him all I know is he was one of the first paratroopers that went in quite.... He was not the same I hear when he came back like my moms brother who did secret missions for this government.... Both died poor and not respected for what happened.... May God bless all hero's and strong minded children of Christ 🙏✝️
Thank you for sharing your memories! It was surely a hard time for many of those that did come back.
My dad was also there and I never got to know him either. He earned 💜 for helping saving some of his platoon members and was shot multiple times and survived. He too sadly was never the same and left my mom while pregnant with me. He was afraid he’d hurt her and my brother during a flashback. He died of exposure to agent orange in 71. I’m so proud of all who served. God bless you
Wow. Same. He left when I was 7. Don’t know if he is alive right now, or where he is. He lives unrecognised for his service, it is truly sad how many of them are left withering away into the history books of our society.
I was look for my pawpaw in these videos. I hope one day I’ll be able to point him out
Thank You! And I really hope so too!
My grandpa was in the 101st airborne in Vietnam. He died before I was born and never told anyone about his experiences in the war. They all just wrote him off as crazy. He got hit by friendly fire after 8 months in nam and spent 6 months in the hospital before he come home i know that man went through hell i just wish i knew a little more.
Thank you for sharing, sad to hear..
My father was in this and something his 21st birthday in a foxhole.. it damaged him so much. It changed him to his core as said ny his brother and sister.. he was a chronic alcoholic and very disturbed until he drank himself to death. RIP dad xx
Sad story! Thanks for sharing!
@@Historiespanarna Unfortunately, so many veterans shared this same fate. It doesn't diminish the heriosm of their deeds. They got a terribly raw deal when they returned to a country that spat on them (and worse). Welcome Home, and Thank You to all Vietnam veterans. God Bless you.
All I can say
