Although I enjoy all of your documentaries Larry the Vietnam ones really get me every time. I'm not ashamed of myself and you probably think I'm crazy but I sincerely believe I died in Vietnam in a past life. God bless. Noone kills or is killed. We are all eternal and are destined to return to God the Father through Christ. Amen
Mark, interesting enough, I felt the same way about D-Day and Omaha Beach, that I was there and I had died. I appreciate your comment my friend. God bless you!!
I admire these soldiers so much. We could not ask to be more blessed than to have men like Sgt. Woods to represent our nation... ourselves. God bless you Sgt. Woods, and welcome home.
I was in the Marines for 3 years June 1968 to June 1970. They trained me as a COBOL computer programmer of all things and I served most all of 1969 at MCAS El Toro, CA. In Dec. of 69 I got orders for WestPAC and reported to Camp Pendleton for 5 weeks of "staging" training. I was ordered to Okinawa and spent most of 1970 there. The closest that I got to the war in Vietnam was watching B-52 bombers take off from Kadena AFB to bomb North or South Vietnam. I was just one of many, many Marines who supported the "real" Marines who did the fighting and dying in Vietnam. My job on Okinawa was preparing a "supply" program data everyday and making sure it ran (for approx. 3 to 4 hours) on the IBM 360 computer that tracked supplies going on down to Vietnam.
Larry,ive herad you so much,tgat i feel that ive kniwn you all my life,like a best friend,or a brother. Thank you for what you do. These folks deserve to be heard.
RVN 1st Mar Div '66-'67. We never rode in the Hueys, just the '34's, and then the "46's, the Hueys were always used as gun ships. Ontos, had 6X106MM recoiless rifles on them.
Alvin you always make my day with your comments. Enjoy Jimmie's story. I have hundreds more hopefully coming in the next few years. God willing and I have breath within me. Feel free to share my stories. The story on deck is very rare. Hope to release it today.
Wondering if Jim was on Operation Fresno, which was in Quang Ngai province. That was in September of '66. My cousin, a Marine artillery officer, was KIA near Mo Duc, in support of the 7th Marines.
When Jimmy was talking about coming home, I could totally relate. My cousin Dwight Willard was aboard the USS hancock, aircraft carrier and he came home in 1970 after 4 tours. He flew into Seatac Airport here in Washington and I was just shocked at the treatment the returning GI's and Navy guys received. Just deplorable.
Brother Cappetto, love your utterly priceless channel! Yet may I suggest a suggestion: audio at your position off-camera is poor. Suggest a Røde Wireless Go or similar thing. The Røde is excellent yet moderately priced. Thanks toweringly much for the work you do! Thankful subscriber here.
Glen, thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it. Regarding my interviews: Most of the stories were done 15-20 years ago. Back then I was interviewing Veterans and including their stories in my documentary series, "Lest They Be Forgotten." I was not ever intending on releasing the entire interview so my audio portion was irrelevant. In the past couple of years however you will find a professional microphone on myself as well as the Veteran. I do the best I can with boosting the audio on these older interviews and apologize if they are not up to standard for you and others.
Glen, I see that you are LDS. You must listen to my story with Colonel Larry Chesley. In fact I would appreciate you sharing this with the Mormon community at large. It's one of my best stories. Feel free to also reach out to me. EMAIL: lcappetto@icloud.com VOICES OF HISTORY PRESENTS - Lt. Col.

I think and I'am sorry if people don't agree about this. A soldier may not get killed or wounded in a battle,but gets wounded and killed by shrapnel or other but sheds his blood and dies over in that country and not worthy of a purple heart that is to sad for me to handle. I'am disappointed in our military.

Interesting concept. I too feel the same. Odd.
That's a wonderful thought.
Nice sentiment but not biblical.
I go to sleep every night with voices of history
Michael, do you listen to the radio station and/or this TH-cam channel? God bless you!!

Thanks for your service, but these higher-ups did a shitty job sending men to be killed. He has me questioning his doings.
