"The Red Cross painted on our building was just used by the VC for mortar target practice." Sorry, tried not to chuckle out loud when I heard you say that.
Doubt Virginia reads this, but I went to the former Marine base hospital on the beach, ( now a VN military hospital but open to everyone) for a cut, infected ankle and moto burns. It's doing okay, not the best hospital in town but still good. I met a Vet who coincidentally had been shot in the ankle and went to the same hospital in 1966 or sometime very early on his first patrol. New Zealand medical teams still regularly do free consultancies there but at Quy Hoa hospital, have done since the war. Even treat foreigners - there were only 2 when I was there.
Momma gave me a hug I unhooked her bra grandpa took her panties off we both hu mped her all day she was drunk. Grandpa got momma pregnant several times ❤
You didn't give your up at 17[18 years old like many have had to do. This is a history documenation, Guess you can pretend Vietnam didn''t hsppen or is the past so forgt it, well for many it will never be a Past event so just get over yourself.

Great this troop made it home. Great soldier and I think the man also talking is a Vet, that is a retired Lawyer? If so your story was great also, you knew he was in the mess.
I said it's Memorial Day and many should be watching these today. Search and Destroy day in and day out. If you got set down in Central Highlands man, you were in for wicked humps. Chu Chi in spring of 68 the B52 went up and down and basically stopped another Dak To. This man is very right, you will never be as close again as to that man you fought next to. You fought for him.
Robert Ledford - thanks for telling us all of the details about your time in the Army and what followed after that. You and your wife are exceptional people, and it sounds like your daughter is as well!
Thank you so much Dr. Terry Turner for the sacrifice you made for those you have helped personally and for our country at war, feelings aside. God bless you sir!
I honestly feel this man and I have been over his interview a few times, and in the big realm of things, and his perspective of war and men, the Vietnam war would have been ended in a much more honest and honorable ending if men like him with his wisdom and upmost honesty, would have been in charge. God willing honesty will prevail if to happen again.
I am looking at a couple of negative comments and want to say that Mr. Boemker is what some people call tangential, often as a negative connotation and often by people full of themselves who look for faults in other’s. My experience and observation is that tangential people are often a lot more intelligent than those of average intellect and myopic view of things give them credit for. There is a bigger picture they want You to see and understand how all the various elements involved come together to create that. In this case setting the stage by explaining the many people who influenced His life. I in no way am condemning other’s who stay focused on themselves as shallow . I only want to point out that for Me tangential people are deeper and want us to know details . Around dinner tables, at hunting camps, eating lunch at construction sites , I have heard many experiences of war from friends and relatives and now a son who is a Special Forces Doctor and a Nephew who Both had served in Iraq. All those stories were not told in chronological order.
Deserves to be remembered? You bet your generation is for what they did for America not only during the war but the decades after. They'll never be another unselfish generation like that.
He's 100% right. America could have definitively won the war. And wiped out the nva/Viet cong. The government did not want to win that were that used all those men as pawns and a global scheme. Along with all the fake movements of the sixties That war was fought for the psychological breaking of generations. They pulled off the sixties So they can get to where they are today period. stop with the bs the government cares about you and works for you. And? Now it doesn't matter who you vote in.They are the same team.They just put on different shows for each side
