Robert "Doc" Werner joined the U.S. Navy at age 16 when his friend's mother forged his own mother's signature. His goal was to see the world by sailing around on a ship. Instead, he served as a Navy corpsman attached to U.S. Marines In Vietnam and received three Purple Hearts due to injuries received in devotion to serving with those men.
Werner vividly describes the job of a a Navy corpsman, walks us through each of his injuries - including the time he and a wounded Marine were left overnight in the jungle after a rescue helicopter came under fire.

I served as a Navy Corpsman w/the Marines in Nam in 1966. Picked up my Purple Heart carrying wounded Marines to a chopper when we came under a mortar attack. Didn’t even know I was hit until one of the guys in the chopper pulled me inside saying; “Come on Doc, you’re going too.” I experienced the baby killer thing coming through LAX just like a lot of other guys, and I have to admit to disliking Hippies to this day.

I worked with a guy who had been a Navy Corpsman in WW2. When he was drafted, he was given a choice of jobs and he selected Corpsman, figuring he'd be handing out bandaids on a ship. Nope. He ran with the Marines in Okinawa. He had been a Zoot Suiter in East Los Angeles and knew many of the guys in the Zoot Suit riots. He thanked the Navy for removing him from his home life into a more productive one. He never talked about his time on Okinawa. RIP Phil Antielo.

My dads own family didn’t show any appreciation for his service in the Army in Vietnam. No party, no questions about his experience or how he was doing mentally. Nothing. On top of this he was called names and he took off his uniform and never put it on again. Those men served, sacrificed and suffered in Vietnam and for many years after and they should be forever proud of their service. Regardless of how you feel about the war from a macro sense, these men had nothing to do with the political decisions to go in in the first place or the decision to pull out before the full objective was met. They did they’re jobs and did them well. To all those who have served, all who are serving, and especially the Vietnam veterans-THANK YOU!! 🇺🇸

I remember growing up to the Vietnam War. Soldiers did their best for themselves and fellow brethren. When they would finally return home they were greeted by anti-war groups. They were called "baby killers". They were spat on. They definitely didn't come home to a welcoming thank you. I think Vietnam changed everything regarding how soldiers are greeted with cheers, applause and heartfelt welcome home. Now our generation acknowledges their sacrifice and lays the blame where it belongs, the government and politicians. The soldiers are serving their country.

I made it a point to have my kid know right away who to respect and when I see him at 20yr old go up to a total stranger and thank him for his service and welcome him home it just warms my heart like nothing else.

@Sir What does that have to do with people being brainwashed into believing that Wars are about protecting our freedom when we're already all free? with phrases like "Operation Freedom" or "Freedom Fighters" for example? that the rich 1% ruling class who own the government likes to use those phrases to brainwash people into fighting for their agenda? It's a known fact that war is a big money maker for the rich when they make all their weapons in these factories and it helps the economy to boom and then they sell their weapons to their allies for billions of dollars. It's always rich tyrants fighting other rich tyrants over money, oil, resources and trade and that's what all wars are always about not about protecting our freedom so the only soldiers that I ever support are the ones that had to fight under the "Select Service Draft" that they used to use back like the Vietnam War to force people to fight for the government because back then people knew what I was talking about; nowadays everybody's so easily brainwashed into fighting or bribed for a better life after they come back if they even come back from the war at all. So these soldiers sold out either by being brainwashed or fighting for a career, a pension and a life on the barracks if they don't get killed. So those soldiers are supporting War which I'm against because it kills innocent civilians in other countries all because the rich want to be richer so I don't support those soldiers at all I'm against them.

This amazing man must surely have received a bravery award, for protecting his Marine all night, during the first incident? Kudos, sir.

I was a Corpsman for 10 years. Green side all the way!! There’s nothing I still won’t do for my Marines! My Marines always took care of me and they knew when the bullets came flying I was ALWAYS right next to them through it all.

Thank you for your service! And thank you for sharing your stories with us! Even though these kids and people of that time don't appreciate the sacrifice you've made for us, just know that there are still a ton of us who do appreciate it and beyond. What you did in those 3 stories you shared with us was nothing short of amazing. And to think that there are probably dozens more that you didn't share with us too. Thank you again! 🇺🇲

They call them soldiers because they sold out to the agenda of the government and they call it the "Marine corps" because a corpse is maybe what they'll be if they join and the ones that survived are called a vete(ran) because they (ran) from their enemies and got away. And when they get home their family says "we thought you were dead so we -sold yer- soldier stuff".😂🤣

First of all, I really appreciate you serving our country! Thank you!! Thank you also for sharing your experience in Vietnam. After everything you endured, I'm sure it isn't easy. Even though I was just a young toddler during the war, I feel compelled to apologize for the beyond brutal and insensitive welcome you and so many others experienced coming home. I don't understand it, nor will I ever. I'm so so sorry for the idiots that ran rampant among us that care. I hope so much that you find moments of peace, relaxation, and love for the rest of your life.

My grandpa is a Marine & a Vietnam Vet, I couldn’t be more proud as a grandson to watch these videos. Every single time I see a Vietnam Vet with a hat on or a shirt on that says so, I always give them a proper welcome home due to the fact they’ve probably never gotten one. He’s the reason I cannot wait to join the Corps in the next few years, and this video only motivates me more. Welcome home sir, and thank you for your bravery and dedication. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you Sir! I was a Corpsman as well, 1990-1995. Was in a field hospital in the Balkans conflict with Fleet Hospital Six. Saw some serious injuries as I was an 8489, Orthopaedic Tech. BUT, we were stationary, they came to us, and received no direct attack, so what you and others did we owe a debt for performing the unimaginable. Thank you and all other Vets who have done the unthinkable.
