This is my father. He is just as great a father as he was a soldier, counselor, and scholar. I love you, Daddy. I'm very proud to be your daughter. 🥰❤️ Thank you, Larry, for making all the stories I grew up listening to available for everyone.

Ansley, your Father's story of Vietnam is one of my best. I hope your whole family will watch this video. It was an honor to interview him 15 years ago. I want to call him. Please email me his number. Thank you and God bless you. Larry Cappetto, EMAIL: lcappetto@icloud.com

Sir, you helped me with my non combat PTSD. You made me realize my father suffered from PTSD. Transferred some of his to me. He was none combat aircraft r&d.So l don't know where his came from.. Mine was juvenile surgery, (16) 60 years ago and I'm still terrified. EMDR is helping a lot Thank you for your service, before and after. Great daughter 👏

My Father served 66-69 USMC medivac out in 67. My mother said when he came back he was not the same. I know he had sever PTSD. My brother served USMC 91-17 6 combat deployments and he does exactly the same thing our Dad did. PTSD is a serious condition. God Bless You Dr Young

My Dad served three tours in Vietnam. His four brothers all served in the military as well. One brother made the ultimate sacrifice in Okinawa on 5-4-45 at the age of 18. You videos are amazing. Thank you for making them.

I’m sorry for the loss of your uncle. My mom’s nephew was killed piloting a B24 over Germany in 1943. I’ve known many vets of WWII, Korea & Vietnam. One lovely man who lost an eye on Peleliu as a marine lieutenant.

@babyswheels54 Год назад

Raw, powerful, compassionate, real, honest, brutal and one if not the best story you have ever done Larry. Excellent work! I like that Mr. Young is a therapist and his work regarding PTSD is so needed. I hung on every word spoken and I’ll probably revisit this story many times over. And, yes, Larry, your work here is very important because you give the veteran from whichever war he served and fought in a voice and everyone needs to be able to be heard and hopefully to a degree healed. Thank you Mr. Young and thank you Larry.

@VoicesofHistory Год назад

Jay, many thanks for your kind words. They are greatly appreciated and very timely in my life right now. I believe I suffer from a form of PTSD after hearing all of these stories the past 20 years and now finding that there are very few if any people I can talk to about what I have heard and seen through the eyes and ears of my Veterans. I compare what I am experiencing to the war veteran who has seen human beings at their worse. Death, carnage, destruction, mutilation. I have heard about human beings at their worse and visualize every traumatic moment they share with me, and yet I have no one to talk to about it. Some days I feel like giving up. And then I receive a comment like yours. It has taken a real personal toll on my life and family, something most people watching my films have no idea. I suffer in silence daily!! I feel I am helping these Veterans bear the weight of their burdens. At times it is more than I can bear. My faith in God helps me through the difficult times but it would be nice to have someone on this earth to talk with also. I am sure I am exhibiting some of the same symptoms of PTSD these Veterans do. They call it secondary trauma and echo PTSD. Thanks for a listening ear.

@johnstaley6337 Год назад

I’ve been watching all of these lately because I am almost 59 years old (born and raised in the USA Massachusetts) and know almost nothing about the Vietnam war, other that what my dad (a Greek immigrant) told me about it. I even went to college ( in Massachusetts) and don’t know anything about it. Most left wing Americans (my age) don’t want to talk about it. God bless these men and women who suffered and died in this gorilla war. Sounds like many were drafted and thrown into it. Thank you for your service and those who gave their lives during this war, May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have you in Abraham’s bosom. Thank you for your service.

@Hardspot1815 Год назад

This was by far the best interview yet. Mr. Young thank you for your service, for opening up, and for your work with other combat vets. I am going to somehow convince my dad who is a Vietnam vet to watch this in hopes that he will open up to someone and possibly heal some. To my knowledge, he's never spoken to anyone about his time in Vietnam. All he will say when asked about it is "you don't want to know" and usually follow it up with something along the lines of "there are things I wish I didn't know" and his favorite thing to respond with is "best I can tell you is it's no fun dodging bullets" There are so many times over the years and even today you will catch him staring off into space, but can tell by his eyes he's back over there. I love my dad and would give anything for him to find some sort of peace before he passes. Again Thank you for everything you do and have done Mr. Young!

@VoicesofHistory Год назад

Kevin, I will pray your Father watches this story and it helps him heal and open up. Many of my Vietnam Veterans felt a weight lifted off their shoulders after talking to me. Please keep me posted.

@boblewin7099 Год назад

Oh my goodness. I am a 77 year old Marine, Vietnam era, and I have never heard such a poignant, eloquent and exact depiction of Vietnam, the role of our servicemen, and PTSD, the silent but potent disabler of people's minds. I knew something strange was taking place in listening to Mitchell's initial dialogue only to realize that he is the real deal of a combat Marine and he is also a Psychology Phd who happens to be very effective. Although I never fought in direct combat, years later after my enlistment was over, I was accidentally shot and suffered a comminuted femur with a total femur reconstruction. Never knew why, to this day, I am very "shaky" about things but now have a better insight into my issue. Thanks Mitchell for your sacrifice, service and dedication to our country and its warriors. God bless you and your work.

Wonderful speaker......and such truth. Our family has a looooong history of being Marines, so I understand. I remember waiting at the door for my daughter and my son’s friends to bring him home - we were having a big party, too. And when I saw my son......well, I didn’t know my son. His neck was so small, it looked like a string bean! I immediately thought, “ this party was not a good idea.” My son is a retired Marine now at 50 yo, He and I have had some very transparent conversations about things the Marine Corps “did to them”..........and I finally understood. He’s been in psych therapy over 3 years, and doing fantastic......I loved how you described PTSD. Exactly it. God bless you and safely keep you Dr. Young, in Jesus’s Name I ask this, Amen!, Keep up the wonderful job with our wonderful Veterans 🇺🇸♥️🙏🕊✝️✝️🙋‍♀️💕💜🕎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I went on some garbage runs in 1969. Remember little kids from 4 to 12 years old, running alongside and jumping on a 2 1/2 ton truck that was rolling down the road. It was terrifying watching those little kids risking their lives for our garbage. Once while leaving the dump, an ARVN soldier came running out with an M1 carbine firing over the kids chasing them out. Whole thing was a heartbreaking mess.

Soft is the exact word. Whining is a pure gift. You just get everything handed to you on a plate, while the 80 percent of American citizens didnt have it easy from day 1. We were not put here to not suffer some. I think maybe its just lack of a higher power, that we live then die and that's it. What a dread way to think. God gives us challenges, it's just so many fewer that want to take on the challenge and see what there made of. This man is correct, you just had to be there to understand him.

Mr. Young you are certainly one of the most unique interviews I've ever seen. Thank you for what you've done for people like myself. Each time I see one of Larry's videos, I'm reminded more and more how grateful I am and how much more people should appreciate what you sacrificed by going to Vietnam, and we can't thank you enough, as far as I'm concerned. My mother in law, told me some stories about my father in law. They didn't get together until years after he came home from the war, and he used to wake up screaming, and ready to kill her or anyone near him, in his dreams, he was in Vietnam, I can never understand what that was like. Albert Franco, he was my father in law, and he was a great guy. He was a medic in the war, and also became a POW. Welcome home Sir, and God bless you and your family.

@loyddinneen2294 Год назад

I wasnt in combat and never fired one round at another person while I was in Vietnam. I was in the rear working on helicopters but we were fired at with rockets and mortars' and in my case was almost killed by a sniper. After 6 months my girlfriend sent me a dear john letter that really messed up my mind and caused my heart to turn to stone. I spent two years in Nam and when I came home just like you said my heart was hard and I spent alot of time by myself and my first marriage did not last. I believe any person that goes to war and experiences the sounds and destruction that war entails will have PTSD, I have it and it has never gone away. The VA has helped alot but it is still there, I am now 74 years old and can still remember almost everyday that I spent there and all those I served with.

Excellent interview to hear these vets tell their life and horrors of time in Vietnam. It seems very helpful to them most won’t talk about their service except to fellow vets cause those that didn’t serve won’t realize the actual feeling they go thru cause they weren’t there. I salute all veterans for there service and thank u for ur service

Wow Mitchell thanks for your service and care. My dad was 44 months in WW2. He didn't live so long after. We should be more kind and caring if we can understand. God help us. Thanks again, Thailand Paul age 73

Your good work with these VN era Marines can also cross over to the Iraq/ Afgh. Marine generation, many similar factors, most of all the treason and betrayal at home. You've done a lot to offset that .

I have Ptsd ,but I never went to war. My PTSD is from 2 bad parents, a molestation and a rape. PTSD is no joke, I sit alone in my camper, I can't trust anyone, and I am always on edge watching for trouble. I feel bad for our vets, I was tested by the military at my high school on a shooting range, and I got 47 out of 50 . The army wanted me to enlist, but because of the PTSD I had that I didn't know about it, I missed an opportunity at a long career in the military. I really feel bad for our vets, and I like to say thanks for putting your lives on the line.

Twenty five years after returning from Vietnam, I wrote a poem. The poem was my therapy for my PTSD that was blossoming in my life at age 49. I told someone...I told ME. It helped me go on when all seemed black...the night terrors, the feeling if distrust in everyone around me, the startling sounds, the details of the events. It can be read at the Co. A, 227th AHB, 1st Cavalry website under 'stories'. It is titled "My Package". It helped me see that life goes on...with it or without it. Sure, I think about it nearly every day, BUT it doesn't hold me back much anymore. VN '69-70

Thank you Mr Young for a very intelligent and ethical retelling of your story. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for all the wounded veterans. You are an absolute gem.

“Most of us are wounded before we ever get into the MC.” I was thinking this the entire time. I had my own event later in life that I thought caused PTSD, but I later realized my problems with adrenaline spikes, anger management, and poor stress management stemmed from early childhood. By the time that bad event came along as an adult, I was already primed for the poor reaction to it. I’m glad it’s starting to be understood. This man goes about dissecting it well.

I agree with you about PTSD. I suffer from it too after listening to over 1000 stories. I suffer in silence most days. Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com

@@VoicesofHistory many of us suffer in silence. I have told my mother a few things and it scared her to death. She doesn’t want to know anymore but now she understands better at why I do certain things. At times my own family is scared of me. People who have never been around violence or had to take human life can never understand what it’s about. My family watched me come home after I left my occupation and didn’t know me anymore. I was that empty shell, that angry unpredictable person that tried to reintegrate back into society but never was able to. I could never love anyone including myself. My ptsd started at a very young age. I was molested by a catholic priest and abused by others. So by continuing in what I did it sealed my fate with ptsd. I’m now disabled 100% by ptsd and other physical disabilities.

Re:The rotation of units rather than individuals in these new veterans. It did help-BUT the multiple rotations back to the war “undid” what ever good unit rotation may have conveyed. There’s some excellent academic research on this topic. Veterans should tell their story: They are the only ones who have experienced this phenomenon and can bear witness to the realities of war.
