Thank you. My father was in 7th Cavalry 1st battalion A Co. 67-68. He passed 2 years ago from cancer from agent orange. He was proud to have served in the 7th Calvary, he wore his pins on his hat. I miss him. Thank you again.

You're a fine man, Larry. Keep doing what you're doing. I watch a new story every night before bed. More kids need to be shown what those before us have endured. What this country stood for and should stand for today. What we stood against and what we should be standing against today. It's been a breaking point for many nations in the past. Erasing why we're here.

Such a strong resemblance to when Ron Kovic traveled by bus,to meet with the family of the young "FNG" he shot,by accident,of course,featured in "Born On the Fourth of July",a movie that I consider one of the best ever made,even though my politics,my views, mostly run the opposite of both Kovic and Oliver Stone,and I`ll stop right there before I go on a tangent....Thank you for what you`re doing--I was born in `71 to a submariner(USS Pulaski, `65-`69) and the Viet Nam War has,for whatever reason,has captured an interest in me that I`ll never be able to figure out--anyway,thanx again.............

Mr. Plesser you described yours as another story among many stories. Thank you for sharing your story, and I truly thank you for your service that has carried on throughout your life. As a Navy Vet, I would add my voice to Mr. Plesser’s in advocating Care Packages to our troops. All veterans know that a Care Package isn’t received by a single person. Everyone in their group gets a share of what the other guy receives, and it is very uplifting to have that package from home. If you don’t know an active duty member to send a package to, you can GOOGLE…How to send care packages to military overseas. Ther are many options available to us. Like this channel, the reward is found in giving.

It hurts me to see you struggle emotionally to tell your story. I'm an old man now but people like you bring the realities of the fragilities of life to the forefront. I would lie if I said I didn't shed tears listening to your take on life from the bowels of war

@tamaramorton8812 11 месяцев назад

I’m so touched by the music while looking at the young men’s faces before their service. I have two sons, and it would be so devastating for them to have to go to war and thank goodness we don’t have to worry about that here in the US but other countries aren’t so fortunate.

This man needs to know any words won't heal his anguish, but over there for a fact so many new men, put in a company, nobody even gave him or them any advise, it was just the way it was, but wrong. It was the code, as america stopped having companies train and go over at once, not all were all the Hal Moore's platoons. It should of been, but it changed into a meat grinder. So sir, take my word, as you are intelligent, as your a pilot. Feel the pride that you turned this into healing with this interview. You keep doing it, as it comes back and keep alive, and talk. Your air Cav. That you will get on your headstone one day, so feel the passion of the people that still visit, and you will get your salutes. Keep it simple. Your a surviver as I'm sure well you know that.

@jaysandstrom1359 11 месяцев назад

Larry, you came across another good man. I tell you though, it gets more difficult each time to listen to another of these interviews because I get so angry for the lies that we’re told all of us by the leaders that sacrificed their lives and well being. Lies, lies, lies and all for the politicians and munitions companies and drug dealers. And to know that every war before and since, all for the same reason. Thanks though to every last soldier and support for what they were called upon to do.

I’m not sure if Barry will see this but from a younger man. Thank you…I mean that. war is horrible I lost many friends honestly almost all of them in Syria we volunteered to help from all corners of the world, haha we where a mixed match group some of us didn’t speak the same language but we all had the same goals. We came to Syria to help fight back ISIS and kill as many as we could to protect the innocent and keep ISIS focused on us instead of women and children. War has not change in these last 100 years or so but war changes every soldier no matter the place. Thank you for everything you and all the men like you in Vietnam. I look up to you guys so much

@hemigod2 11 месяцев назад

I speak on behalf of my late father, who was with the first cav fifth cav Charlie company 67,68. I myself am not a veteran, so I really don’t know the difference between the seventh cav and the first cav . I just know that they share the same patch, which is gold with the stripe in the horse. Even if my father was still alive, I doubt that he would be a part of this so again, I would have to speak on his behalf. I know that he was a mortar man as far as MOS and she went in to Vietnam in the late half of 67 and state for a year. What I could get out of him is that he did a lot of search and destroy. He bailed out the Marines at khe Sahn operation Pegasus and he participated in the Tet Offensive in Fu bai. I also know that the best friend that he lost over there was named George Harvey Gilliam. And from what I gather, he lost Gilly on the way to khe sahn

HI Larry...Dad was a fighter Pilot in Korea. Would be nice to get his story documented before its not too late, because he's 91. Still healthy though, praise God. He didnt do anything "famous". Just did what he had to do, and was almost killed on a few occasions (I wouldnt be here talking to you if I didnt have a purpose in life, and is why God spared him...I believe at least). John Glenn was his Wingman. Anyways let me know if you need contact information. Blessings.

Thank you for asking- This disorder ( Post traumatic stress disorder mine was delayedPTSD 13 yrs) never goes away. I was first diagnosed as bye polar by a psychiatrist and psychologist from the private sector in 1980. They knew nothing about posttraumatic stress like they do today so they treated me for apples. I had oranges. Result was delusional and psychotic with the medication’s that they were giving me in 2005 on memorial day. I read while I was sitting in jail for trying to go home to my family About post traumatic stress disorder I went to the psychiatrist in the jail who happen to be previous VA psychiatrist in Northport Long Island. He gave me my first diagnosis 7:24 posttraumatic stress, so I was misdiagnosed for 25 years. During that time I lost my family I lost my job. I had to retire from a job I loved and my family that I love, but it all comes when you can be able to handle what you sick from and help others and the birth of problem off yourself and reach those that need your help for what you went through nothing more gratifying in the world. I’m a very happy man to this day even with my posttraumatic stress I still check the perimeter every night to 3 o’clock in the morning I wake up to anyway God bless you for asking. I hope this answers your question.

@joeymc5272 2 месяца назад

Barry, remember shit happens in life and most definitely war. It takes the biggest cojones to admit your mistake and that is ok. Your friend would not want you to dwell on this. He would want you to move on be happy and live your life. He’s in peace and hopefully a believer in Jesus! You got to keep moving. You’re not the first that had this happen to them and you sure won’t be the last that this will happen to. No amount of training prepares people for combat. Its on the job training and many mistakes are made by many people. God bless!
