My Dad was in Vietnam. 67-68-71-72. I was born at Blanchfield Military Hospital Fort Campbell, KY, and I grew up in Clarksville, Tn. My Dad retired in 91 & I miss him dearly. He was not only my Father, but my friend. Lucinan Hamilton. Franklin, Tn.
I grew up with a Marine tunnel Rat he had 19 kills in the tunnels 3 where women and 16 men. Much respect. I told him he was braver than me and he said yes but you are crazier than me you jump out planes 😎
At my job, I run into a lot of veterans wearing hats that let others know they served. I always stop them. Tell them I like their hats, to acknowledge that I realize who I’m dealing with. Then the first thing I do is thank them. Usually this catches them off guard and they become very grateful for the little gesture I’ve given them. Everyone should be attempting to give thanks to our veterans any way they can. I will do this until I die.
A story was relayed to me how the army didn't have the same mentally as the USMC during operation Enduring Freedom when they would get to a building. The Marines love a fire fight but will ensure they dont lose their men unnecessarily especially when they have a small number.
My father in law, a ranger in WW 2, only talked about it once to me. That's the day he advised me to carry a 45. He told we that when you shoot someone will a 45 they went down. Only time he ever mentioned it.
I've had the privilege of working with two former Tunnel Rats over the years, both were awesome. I hope they live in peace and prosperity, they deserve it.
That was a scary War I mean just the heat and humidity alone had me not wanting any part of it. Luckily I missed it by about 2 years because at the time they were pulling them out I had just turned 17😢
Those bass turds are running the institutes of higher education now!!!SHOULD BE CALLED OUT ABOUT THERE ACTS OF TREASON NOW ! COLD CASE. STUFF ..😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
An extremely touching story that catches your voice in throat. War is not for good people, but unfortunately bad people start wars and good people have to end them.
This man is insanely brave and a true hero! It had to be difficult for these insanely brave men to fit their gigantic brass balls through those small tunnels.
Chopper Pilots were life savers. Lima Platoon, A Co., 1/26th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division. Oct. 1, 1966- Oct. 1,1967. To all my dear pals, who gave all.
Thank u for ur service first off! But sir i gotta ask. U go in with no weapons at first? Come back out and just grab pistols with a clip or two. Come back out grab ammo. And a few grenades. COME BACK OUT. then decide to bring proper weapons. ONLY Question i have IS WHY
No. They always went in with at least a pistol. Too hard to swing a rifle around. Some tunnels were quite extensive with barracks other necessary rooms. Tourists can crawl through the tunnels now, but they enlarged them because most westerners are bigger than the Vietnamese.
When you are overrun, at your wits end, " in that HELL mess "anything goes", & NO ONE CAN CRITICISE , a soldier who's trying to survive in HELL! GOD BLESS YOU MATE ❤
