    Thank you Mr. Plumb. My dad served 2 tours in Vietnam and was a POW. You're a hero and it's too bad that children now aren't taught what that word really means. Edit: A huge and heartfelt thank you to every single person who served. You're the backbone of this country.

If you research the unit, it might help you figure out a bit more. I'm pretty slick researching US servicemen.

    Thank you for your service, bravery and sacrifice, Brother. I am a fellow Vietnam era vet, though never saw combat. It was a horrific time in country, but it was also a terrrible time in this country when you came home. I hope every person still alive who spit on us, called us horrible names, and wished us dead has since seen the error of their thinking. I hope that someone who shakes my hand and thanks me for my service this Veterans Day, once wished me dead and has finally seen the light. God bless you and your family.
    And, as always, thank you Kent for your continued support. I just wish we could have seen the entire unedited story. I know it must have been hard for you to edit. It was hard for me to see the whole story with the tears welling up in my eyes. Not tears of pain, but tears of pride for Charlie, my fellow veterans, and for you for recognizing all those brave young men and women at the end of each of your videos.
    God bless you Charlie, Kent and Shannon.

    Thank you for your service, Mr. Plumb. I met and talked with another pilot that was shot down and was a POW for 5 years. He was Roger Ingvalson. He is now sadly deceased, but I will never forget him talking about communication with other prisoners in any means they could devise. He was also a great Christian and was the director of Chattanooga Prison Ministries when we met. I was a volunteer that took families to visit their incarcerated family members once each month as part of my church missions committee. I did this for five years and I had the opportunity to talk to Roger for several hours as we traveled to the several prisons. I have never forgot him or his stories of being in a Vietnam prison, much like your life story in Vietnam. He made an impact on me. Again, Thanks.

    My Grandad was born in Kyiv, Ukraine. He came to this country as a child. He fought in WWII for America his beloved adopted land. He loved this country more than his own life. He was horribly wounded but carried those terrible scars with pride because he got them in service of the country he adored. There’s nothing like the freedom we enjoy here. He taught me that. Like Cowboy Kent says freedom comes with a price and thanks to people like Mr. Plumb, my Grandad and every one of our Veterans we still have that freedom. Let’s pray that we never forget that freedom doesn’t come for free.
