Watching these videos is an addiction, addiction to the truth, an addiction to reality, an addiction to hearing our veterans stories
I served with Delta 2/28th . I was wounded on operation Shenandoah on 10-17-67. The firefight was between Alpha and Delta Companies against 1200-1400 enemy soldiers in a horse shoe ambush. There was only about 135 of us between the 2 companies. Very thick jungle. A lot of my friends died that day and many were wounded. I was given the last rites when the medivac landed in Lai Khe .
WELCOME HOME!!! Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
What an interview. Outstanding. Mr. Littlejohn presents himself as a very intelligent warrior.
And that accent is a mark of a sophisticated southern gentleman.....I know, as I was raised in middle GA.
This guy is an American hero. Sounds like he was a hell of a soldier. America needs more men like him. Regardless of the circumstances in Vietnam, he did what he thought was right, and did it well. The way Vietnam veterans were treated after the war was disgraceful to say the least.
Thank you for your service John Littlejohn. May God Bless you with peace and joy all of your days.
This is a great American. I served as an Airborne Infantryman (1-505th) in Afghanistan for exactly the same reasons. My father was 8th Infantry in Vietnam, so I followed his path.
No regrets, but no forgetting.
Only love for this hero.
Thank you for your service!! Have you told your story? Love your screen name. Thank you also for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
A good friend of mine, in my church, went to Vietnam when I was 14, I met him when he came back, minus an eye. He was a dustoff medic. He lost his eye and was shot in multiple locations when the helicopter was shot down in a medivac operation.
I love this story. My son just retired from the U.S. Army after 21 years.
Before I joined the US Army, I watched the nightly news of combat in Vietnam, which included enemy body counts and US KIA. When I joined the US Army in 1971 at 17 1/2, I knew I was going to Vietnam.
God bless you, Mr. Little John.
What an amazing testimony by Mr. Littlejohn. I got very emotional listening to his words. They hit me deep in my soul. I wish you well, Mr. Littlejohn. You and your men directly and I directly saved my life and the lives of countless others. May GOD bless you and your wife. Welcome home, sir! 🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸✝️
Mr. Littlejohn is a true Patriot. 5th Special forces group was the best of the best. And he's a LRRP. God bless men like him. Good job guys
A true American Hero and Patriot
Thank you for your service to the United States of America, Mr. Littlejohn!

Another great interview. I felt the pain and the pride of Mr. Littlejohn. Keep up the good work and thank you for bringing the story of Vietnam through those who were there and lived it.
Jay, thank you for watching my interview with John. He is an extraordinary man. I hope you are subscribed. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
What a thoughtful and articulate person. A wise man who thinks before answering a question. I am very proud of him and inspired to be his countryman.
One word, chaotic.
Additionally, Regan said, "Freedom is not dividable, it is not freedoms, it is FREEDOM, you either have it or you don't.
These are great Larry… So glad you started posting these stories. I was starting to run out of stories I haven’t heard yet…. But I love hearing what these gentlemen/heroes went through. Gives me motivation knowing that if they can get through something like that, my day is a piece of cake. Lol. Anyways, God bless you and god bless these soldiers who held the line for America 🇺🇸

John, Welcome home! Thank you for sharing your memories and what actually you faced. Your very important because it is educating non combat people understand what a warrior faces in war. Thank you for your service!
The man says it all. Great interview !!! Welcome home and thank you for your service Mr.Littlejohn. You did the Vietnamese people and your country well.
Much appreciated!
Thank you John for your service and Heroic leadership you are a true man that served his country. May you have some peace in your life God Bless you
A good man!!
Mr Littlejohn: " Well done good and faithful soldier!!We are very grateful to you, sir.I takes guts and brains to engage the enemy myriad times, the way you did as a squad leader.
Again .. thankyou Larry! There is a strong common thread with all these interviews, I guess that is to be expected. The look of pride in the eyes of these men when they salute is impressive.
Thank you Bill. Please feel free to share. I invite you to my website to view a special 3 minute video of an upcoming film about my work. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
Yeah, I can relate that after I served, I became a very aggressive MFR in the civilian world and would fight at the drop of a hat. I am sad to say, I left a wake of wreckage behind me.
Thank you for your service. God Bless!
My late husband Sgt 101st ft Bragg ft Benning ft Polk. 1969-1971. We married 1969. I miss him so much Merry Christmas Sir. Thank you Sir from South Carolina
I love what you do Brother.
What a great American and Warrior. To be held in the highest esteem.
I spend a lot of time watching these videos. I'm 72 now and Jumped into the helos in the coast Guard to escape the draft. I can't get over the hurt I see in these soldiers eyes. It makes me almost embarrassed to be considered a vietnam era vet when I hear and watch what these kids went thru
Thank you for your honest comment. Please make sure to watch my latest Vietnam story with Doc Bartlett.
This is much better and more educational than what you will read in a history book. I am an afghan war vet, that conflict ended very similar to this one, and the enemy was just as sneaky and hidden as the ones in vietnam. My war was not as intense as this one was because of the open terrain. Nowhere for enemy to hide. It’s just that I cannot imagine people treating me like crap after I came back.
Well one thing about the War in Vietnam stopped the Chinese Aggression in its Tracks and Has not moved down any farther then it was during the War.
Damm, I learned in 1973 the truth of the cluster fk of the political side of the Vietnam police action where I lost many of my friends I grew up with and the pain of all of those who lived to return to the world. That has haunted me for 50 years.
That’s a hero. God bless you and your family sir. Thank you for all you’ve done. Including this interview. Kids today need to know it is a good thing to be patriotic.
Not even 20 mins in & I had to pause to roll up another for This awesome interview. 💨💨 I gotta get my grandpa to do an interview. He was drafted to Nam when 18. Thank all yo u brave men! 🇺🇸 I feel like our Vietnam troops we’re ALL badasses!!! Not so much today although Ik a few rangers.
Thank you for watching my interview with John Littlejohn. He is an extraordinary man. I hope you are subscribed. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
What a fine gentleman. God bless you sir. Thank you for your service.
God bless you Sir you are a compassionite hero.
The part about cutting off the ear to use as towards body count… this is what we all need to hear! The real raw uncut version of what went down out there… some these men were forced to go fight before they ever laid with a female in a jungle where if you have strong deodorant you’ll get noticed…. Bless these men!!! Thank you! 🇺🇸
I listen to all of these interviews, until I stopped to see the salute at the end this young man was 20 and remembering his fallen brothers in real time.
Bless this man…God Bless you Mr. Littlejohn…
God Bless you John and thank you for your service sir- 🙏
Another excellent piece of work Larry. I came back to say one thing as I hadn’t quite finished the video and when asking John about freedom and as he began listing off everything, it was just upsetting as hell to think that just between the time this video was made and today, most especially in the last 2-3 years, nearly all of those freedoms have been compromised. Criticism of government and protests can land you in prison for years w/o trial for one example. Voting is clearly compromised. Religion especially catholic or Christians are being harassed by law apparatuses, businesses having winners and losers picked and chosen by government, on and on. We are in a very dangerous time right now. All the best to Mr. Littlejohn and his family.
Such words of truth you shared Jerry. I am with you 100%. Let's do something to combat the hellish tyranny and lies.
God bless you sir. Thank you for your service. Your a great person and I’m so glad you have a family to be a source of strength. Sounds like your wife understands you well. ✝️
Thank you so much.
Mr. Cappetto, thank you for your endless dedications in bringing us stories of the great Vietnam veteran warriors. Every word spoken my Mr. Littlejohn was nothingness than pure honesty. 😪 🫡
Thank you Mr. Littlejohn for your service and your men’s service and sacrifices! May the Lord bless your family and all of the families you had to notify of the greatest sacrifice one can ever give (their loved ones) for the citizens of our nation that they may enjoy their lives with the ‘freedom’ you speak of with such high regard! May we never forget the losses of our young men and women that served alongside each other! God’s peace be with you Sir! Thank you for your service!
awesome man. awesome interview. humble man.
wow this was one of the best interviews.
❤
Thank you Mr. Littlejohn for your service and this interview.
When he said freedom means being able to say and vote for whoever you want without repercussion that's not how it is nowadays with cancel cuture. How about swedan, Australia Switzerland being the trure great countries.Being the wealthiest country don't make you the best
A great educational segment, telling the inner workings of combat situations.
Every able bodied man and woman should me made to serve.
Teaches team wirk and you will grow up fast.
Little John claims to be 60 , how long ago was this story filmed cause he has to be young if he was in Vietnam
From a us to a RA "God bless you my Brother" Drafted in 72, did not go to Nam. but I served...
Every one of these people talks about the smell when they get off of the plane. That's one common thing I noticed.
Thank You SIR......for everything.
General Westmoreland wasn't a good general in vietnam in my opinion
👍
Mr. Littlejohn was a great American soldier. He's also a great American. He seems to be more well adjusted than most of the interviewees I've heard on this channel. No identity politics here. These are the types of good American soldiers I served with, albeit after the Nam was over.
John and I have worked together in schools. He's truly a patriot, warrior and a great man.
I salute you sir, Thank you for your service.
Welcome back to the World Mr John.!!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🎖🎖🎖
@ 46:00
Nobody has ever said it better.
Ty brother welcome home much love
If you want to hear about a different and “sobering aspect” of the war, listen to Graves Registration stories.
What a great American Patriot. People like this are hard to find today.
They don't make them like this anymore.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This gentleman is just amazing. God bless!

Lil John - YYeEeEEAaaHHHhhH. I wanna party wit dude 🎉
Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
If he’s 60 years old, how was he in Vietnam in 1967? That was 55 years ago…unless this was shot like almost 20 years ago the math don’t add up.
This Sir, is a very personal experience with no hold barred...
Definitely a calm and thoughtful man, deeply saddened by his time in combat....
Thank You Sir for your Service...
I hope you get some inner peace....and that you have your heart released of sadness...
Many blessings
💞✌️🙏
Horseshoe ambush was taught by the Russians to the vietnamese i believe. The Russians still look to be using this tactic today in Ukraine which is effective as hell! Has allowed them to take Mariupol and Avdiivka
