Grateful for people like Billy. The things he's chosen to do with his second chance are inspiring. May God protect his health and prosperity for years to come. 🙏
It's always good (for me, anyway) to listen to another's perpective. Thank you for Billy's. I still Keep praying. It was horrible, but I want to remember, or I mean I don't want to forget.
I was working when the first plane struck. Ironically enough I was on duty working as a firefighter in Hamden CT. That took a little part of every firefighters soul that day. The rest is too personal. RIP friends and brothers.
@@schasney1915 thanks for commenting. Wow, that must have been quite an emotional time for you. I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. I appreciate you sharing that.
I think anyone who survives such an ordeal carries trauma with them the rest of their lives. He's a good man, honest and hardworking. Thanks for your commend KBilly!
I was on Operation Medina. Served with Charlie Company , 1st Battalion, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division. I got my first Purple Heart on Oct. 12, 1967 when C Co. ran up against 400 to 500 NVA. My name is Steve Kane and was the Radioman for the Arty FO team. My picture and name are mentioned throughout the award winning book by Doyl Glass, named "LIONS OF MEDINA". I remember Seymore too. He became a high ranking officer. I heard this at the re unions.
My Uncle Tim, KIA during Operation Medina- Timothy was the son of Lawrence R. Vicalvi and Betty R. Vicalvi, (my Grandparents) the dear brother or Michael Vicalvi (my Father) of Springfield Massachusetts. He enlisted in the US Marine on February 24, 1966 in Boston and arrived in Vietnam for duty on May 29, 1967 where he was assigned to and served with Company H, 2d Battalion, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division, (Rein) FMF.

At approximately 1345 hours on October 18, Companies G and H of the 2d Battalion, 1st Marines were approaching Hill 86 when the lead elements of Company G detonated a large mine. At the same time, Company H who had been following were engaged by the NVA with small arms fire and throwing grenades and satchel charges at the advancing men. When contact was finally broken, ten men had been killed in the action, three more would die of their wounds after evacuation. LCpl Vicalvi was one of the casualties, evacuated to the Station Hospital NSA in DaNang he died later on the same day from the fragmentation wounds he sustained by a hostile explosive device. ∼ LCpl.
