The American Navy In Vietnam (1967) 

My grandpa was the Huey Medic evac pilot during the Viet Nam War. He told me story especially during the fall of Sai Gon. He told me that he keep on flying back and forth to help the U.S. and Vietnamese civilian to escape from the VC. And when it was his time to go he refused to go with the U.S. and stay back behind to defend his belive and the church. Because of his heroic act, many many life was life and his life was spared too. The VC seeing how he didn't just flee but stay back to protect the church and all who was innocent hiding inside the church . However, he was imprisoned for 13 year including the re-education camp. And when he was finally free, he have to fight another war to become a fully U.S. citizen and when he finally is and living in the U.S. he have to fight another one is with the VA and how many people view the Viet Nam veteran as a murdered and sometime accused my grandpa as one not known lying that he was a huey medic pilot that save life. He also told me story how his Friend at that time was the captain of the huey got shot by a sniper forcing my grandpa to fly alone while trying to save his life by his side while trying to land in the hot zone to save both the vietnamese soldier and the American soldier even occasionally some NVA and the Viet Cong. He also told me a story when he also got shot but save by the an inch only tearing his flight suit. A few years ago, he give me his photo flying in the Huey by some American Journalists and we think he was on some footage but still can't find it. And as up today, he is alive and well.

Most did not realize that the US Navy played a big role in the Vietnam War. There aircraft carriers launched sortie after sortie during the entire war, not to mention the brown water Navy which patrolled the small rivers all around Vietnam, they inserted special forces into enemy held areas, the United States Navy did a fantastic job and to all those that served during this horrific war this combat veteran salutes everyone of you.

Me watching 👀 in hopes to see my dad. He was deployed on this ship 67-68. He was helicopter mechanic, and door gunner on the Huey. Thankfully I got my dad back. Many from my generation did even get to meet their dad. But he was deeply scared .

It's crazy to see almost exactly what my dad went through in the Navy during that time in the Vietnam War.

I traveled (on USS Blue) with the Maddox in VN in '69-'70

Bruh my uncle was in the navy and he was in this war but luckily he survived thank God 🙏

My Dad, is a member of the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club

Awesome..cool vid.. thanks from NZ👍🇳🇿

My dad was in the Navy during vietnam. He won't talk about it though.

My sister's brother-in-law's neighbor's uncle was an AO on the Kitty Hawk

I think this was the military stance before wesmoreland took over as commander

GREAT VIDEO THANKS SAT CONG.

My dad was part of this he belong to agent orange U.S. navy. He is a Filipino BTW ❤

No mention of the navys chopper detachment known as the seawolves along the mekong.

The Gulf of Tonkin was not a lie. It was a matter of who shot first...

My Uncle Denny was here somewhere in the brown water Navy.

Plz find something on the Brisbane 41my dad served on her

nice propanganda ,I love this.

my coach is a navy vietnam vet

not "American Navy" it is "US Navy"

USS Liberty 8June 1967 of the Coast of Egypt

Coast guard was 1st , on riverine patrols, mekong delta. Navy did not have small boat. Originaly named, gamewarden riverine eradication program. Later river boat patrol,, pbr s. Semper paratas.

Going to full out war over a couple of pt boats sounds fishy to me.

USS Horne..first deployment out of Hunters Point Navel Shipyard..good will your of the orient and deployed with carriers in Viet Nam at DMZ. Pretty strange stuff going on ?

Im trying to find the story of the US Navy ship coming up a river/canal during high tide to help Army or Marines ,being directed where to fire guns by an Army or Marine Enlisted or Officer walking along side on land .thank you

Did my time. 6 years.

What? No monitors, douche boats or zippos???

All that firepower and tech and still couldn't conquer Charlie. Tough buggers weren't they.

we have here arcadio garduque

Attack on Maddox proved to be false.

If all of the dead of the war in Vietnam (USA estimates) were added together--civilians north and south, military north and south, plus US personnel, are added up, it is in the vicinity of 3.2 million. The cost in 2019 USD is placed at around 864 billion. That's $265,000 per dead person, regardless of which side, civilian or not, etc. Obviously the cost and numbers skew even less favorably/intelligently if devoted purely to one side or another. Money well spent, wouldn't ya say? 😢Wonder if all those folks would have gladly "stayed home," metaphorically speaking, if offered that amount in cash, or even half that--particularly in light of the ultimate failure of the enterprise from an American standpoint. Hmmmm....And then there's the question of whether it would have been cheaper and more effective in the long run to just shower down/airdrop cash U$D in SW Asia and the Middle East in recent decades, rather than wage war. I'm as genuine a patriot as any in my beloved home country, USA, but I'm not a fan of the MIC that Eisenhower warned of, or the racket of war that Gen Smedley Butler USMC spoke of. Blind jingoism and empty hubris notwithstanding, please begin to THINK, people. Please. It may already be too late...

you can tell johnson is lying- but hes a democrat and we all shouldnt be surprised

Vietnamese don’t need to smuggle weapons from the direction of the sea. However if you could please look into the map of Vietnam 🇻🇳 then you will see that Vietnam is sharing border 1297km with China

Shame on some if the REMFs, shame on the hippies because if how these young men were treated

1297 km border in between Vietnam and China. So why would they use the South China Sea when they can import from their allies (China) Because Transport weapon by land a lot more easier
