Este es el testimonio de un paisano Hidalguense, que ya murió ...Tengo 73 años, me fui a la edad de 13 años a EEUU, fui a la guerra de Vietnam, estuve en la Brigada 173 aerotransportada Air Borne, de la 9 División , después de un año y meses de combatir y vivir horrores y errores, fui prisionero de guerra durante 3 años y medio, durante ese tiempo de prisionero nunca vi la luz del sol, siempre en un túnel, fuimos 9 prisioneros, 3 Marines, 4 Rangers y 2 infantería, salimos vivos de ahí sólo 4, pesábamos alrededor de 45 kg , y nuestra piel se sangraba de tanta humedad, nos rescataron al final de la guerra, una misión de la ONU, unas religiosas, nos cuidaron con tanto amor y paciencia, tres años tardamos en recuperarnos, tanto en la piel como en el cuerpo, aunque no sicologicamente, vivi muchos años en Filipinas, regrese a mi amado México y mi estado de Hidalgo, de donde nunca debería haber salido, ya mis fantasmas, mis miedos se han ido apagando poco a poco , a veces siento odio contra el Ejército y a veces lo extraño, pues eran mis hermanos, gracias a la música, gozo mucho mi soledad, nunca me case ni tuve hijos, mi novia que tuve en mi juventud se caso en USA , pues sabia que estaba desaparecido en batalla, y le dijeron , que tal vez nunca me volvería a ver, casi no me gusta dormir, sigo con pesadillas, gracias a la música y el canto , me siento bien. Saludos.
I've got alot of friends who serviced in veitman the are precious in my heart just like all other veterans and they have the greatest music and the music is a statement at that time ❤❤❤❤
Every afternoon after school we'd head down to the police station to check the list of soldiers killed in action so we would know which classmate's older brother was not coming home.
Drafted 1966. I'm still here but my high school friend died in Nam. We left the same day on the train. We told each other we would see each other when we got back. I seen his name on the wall. Very sad. For what?
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸 My late husband, drafted in 68, Army. Our common saying was screw LBJ/McNamara. The other things we would say would get me kicked off. It was to destroy the best genetics in this country. They didn't get all. May you find peace for your lost friends as we have. God bless.
The usa bombed our own ships to devise an excuse to go to war in vietnam . we killed our own people and blamed vietnam . pol pot a very educated man came to the usa and asked the usa congress to help rid vietnam of frnch colonist in return he said he said vietnam would be made a democracy the usa congress refused. Fan elsberg leaked the macara report in 1971 that report stated the usa congress knew in 1961 the usa could not win a war in vietn those 58 200 usa soldiers that died there are murder victims not war casualties they were murderedby the usa govt
If you come to Vietnam with a bouquet of flowers and a handshake, you will receive a hug and a fun drink in return. But when you come with guns, bullets and bombs, you're left with a trunk and lots of bones. Vietnam is very friendly with friends but also very violent with enemies
I got to Vietnam when I was 18. 14 months later I left feeling 60. When I got home I had zero in common with my friends. I left my real friends and brothers in Vietnam. C troop 1/4 Cav 1st IDF
Tengo mucha admiracion...por el ejercito de Los Estados unidos.... Todos aprendimos de la guerra de Vietnam...jamas ...olvidar los caidos y en su ejemplo inolvidable... los humanos siempre llevamos una victoria en el alma... Muchos perecieron...pero sus almas estan en el cielo...muchos Imbocaron el nombre de DIOS... En el momento de su muerte...👍🌹💐🌹😥😥😥
Pensar que estos soldados derrotaron al comunismo, por agotamiento,pues los rusos y chinos quedaron exhaustos por apoyar a Vietnam del Norte y eso aceleró la caída del comunismo en 1989 estos tipos son verdaderos heroes
The cover is a M551 Sheridan. Have some good bad memories. Not to hot in SE Asia. Aluminum doesn't react well to RPG's. Also had them in Germany. They are fast! One of our guys got clocked doing 70 on a tank trail in Grafenwoehr. Only 17 tons but with a 152 mm gun. Had grab bars to hold on to when you fired the main gun. The front road wheels came off the ground. Also could fire a missile. Gary Owen!
