Sir, thank you for your service, and your communication with the public that cannot begin to understand your experiances.
Welcome Home. Thank you for service. My honor to hear your story. From one Navy Veteran to another and fellow Georgian 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
Thank you for your service. War is hell. Anyone who's been close to the fire knows life can be cut short. Otherwise we had our day just like everybody else. The war is ancient history. Bound to be repeated.
Thank you for your service
Very impressive man, a good example of our finest.
While hitching around the Olympic Peninsula in 1980 I met several Nam vets living out in the woods. I engaged in several conversations and found most to be normal if just a little lost. I hope they found their way home. BTW thank you for your service.
👍👍

Great interview. Lt Redding was one of my roommates at Nha Be base in Vietnam
HAPPY VETERANS WEEKEND !
Good man.
Thank you for the service! I'm interested to hear more about the Norwegians patrol boat's used I nam, I'm a Norwegian! Where there any Norwegian in this war!?
Interesting insight from SEAL Redding: It was more disconcerting at night on forward operations bases than on night patrols possibly within close quarters with VC due to fact that fear of being mortared in cot made a restful night very difficult.
Best of the Best ✌🏻
They have a blown up photograph of a long haired Vietnam Vet enclosed in the glass revolving door at the Baltimore VA hospital. Always fries my ass to see that image.
Stoner was an awesome weapon

When was this interview, the US Govn't admitted that was a false flag several years ago Sir.
