Great job Donald , the 196 th was out there doing their thing , while the the pullouts were going on . A tough time to be there but you guys hung in and did your best . Welcome home !

Thank you for your service.

Both places NOT very Friendly. S.W. of Danang (Que Son valley) during the Summer of 1967 1,000 Marines went home in body bags!! Operations "Union 1 and 2", and Operation "Swift" (June-Sept.). Most people NEVER heard of them. 3 Medal of Honors in those battles! That's why DaNang was basically "quite" during "TET" unlike Hue of Jan-Feb of 1968. NVA 2 Div. was "wiped-out" there before TET!

I had an older friend that was with some Marine helicopter (CH-46) unit (DaNang, Marble Mountain) in 1970,71? Maybe those guys supported you? He said the Que Son valley was "nasty" as hell!

No the worst part is when your buddies go "home" and you "leave" in a body bag!

you is veteran?

@@guymcmullan9297 Welcome Home......

ooh i'm from brazil and i'm fascinated to see videos of the war, where did you serve?

He was a Vietnamese interpreter for the U.S. Army who traveled with the troops. He stayed with the command and communications unit.

@@MsPegW thanks appreciate it

@@MsPegW How do you know? Were you there? Maybe he was a 101st soldier from the States? I mean the American Army WAS made up of other nationalities other than "White Folks"!

​@@jonness8927 I know because my husband was in this battle, is in this video (Lyle a.k.a Padre toward the end), and he is the one who obtained a copy of this video. He told me exactly who this Vietnamese person in the background is; he had personal contact with him. Now, drop your asinine racist attitude...it is YOU who knows nothing, mister! Go spew your bigotry somewhere else!!

Thanks Ms PegW he probably think like most trumpklin people think that no one but white folks fought in these wars he looks at too many Saving Pvt Ryan or Sgt York or Artie Murphy war movies
