The 9 th Division took heavy loses in the delta. Excellent interview Chuck. Thanks Larry 👍

Thank you for your contribution. I was signed up for the draft in 73', I moved out of my parent's house in 74' at age 18. My neighbor was a vet serving in 1968/69 in the army. He would come over and drink beer with us. The more beer the more stories.

Larry it really hit me when he said “I can’t go to Canada and come back here again it’s my country so I’m going” I really felt him on that one.

I have seen dozens of videos made by Voices of History and this one is by far the most honest I have seen… Listen Y’all… Not everyone in Vietnam is Homeless, Wounded or Mentally Ill…. The Majority of actual ‘Grunts’… never fired their weapons at an actual target in the Bush… However,There were viscous heroic battles in an enclosed jungle environment for 7 years by select units of the Army and Marine Corps… These were the ‘let’s bang the ‘bushes’ and see what crawls out… and that my friends is ‘Combat’ in Vietnam… Most men on these Videos have a ‘glory story’ or such… Not this guy… he was a little older than my brothers in Lima Co 3rd Bn 7th Marines… But he had a PLAN….. and stuck to it. In College when he went in and right back to College when he got out. I was also a combat MOS 0311 … and still here to talk about it… Love this series Y’all LIMA-2-BRAVO 3/7 OUT Semper Fi. 🙏❤️🇺🇸

He is a matter of fact kinda man great commentary and video.

Thank you, sirs. We appreciate your sacrifice.

Thank you

Thank you Chuck & Larry...thank you both for sharing this important testimony with us Americans. God bless America 🇺🇸

I have to imagine when Sgt Coffman put on that uniform the first time it must have been a daunting experience knowing all that came with wearing it. Thank you to all those who choose to wear the uniform and for carrying out the responsibilities that come with it, and thank you Sgt Coffman in remaining with this country and carrying out your duty. God bless you all.

for a vet he has a pretty good attitude about life in general

Chuck, we appreciate what you did over there. The greatest tragedy of war is when men have to trade the innocense of youth for the agendas of politicians.

God bless you Charles thank you for your service and sacrifice. Thank Larry,great interview. I don't know how many I've seen now,quite a few,I'll watch them all at some point.😊

God Bless these forgotten heroes who served honorably!

I was a helicopter door gunner . Out of Dong Tam with the 9th aviation division of the 9th infantry division.67-68. Jayhawks on the nose of our choppers. May God bless you my 9th infantry brother.!

16:52 . Yes , it is too bad not all Americans felt like Chuck . Those that fled , should never have been allowed back into our country . Glad you made it brother and are still kicking . Stay strong brother , there are less of us by the day !! doc 25th lll Corp .

This man has a very healthy mind ,strong constitution.

Thank you for sharing these very iconic stories. One night in a movie theatre I had a bad flashback during the movie of The Deer Hunter. And had to get up and go to the bar. But now I seem better. And I don’t know why it was so difficult, I wasn’t in extremely bad situations during my tours that I knew of or thought so anyway.

Wonderful interview! Chuk might have knew my dad ..... ❤god bless you

Great interview!

Manly P. Hall-the secret destiny of America is a great audiobook here on youtube. I think vets can gain great understanding from this.

Great interview as usual!

Welcome home, thank you all so much for your service.👊🏻🇺🇸

Chuck.......awesome interview. I was 9th infantry , dong tam 1967-a little of 68. I was commo for 1st of 84th artillery . I was assigned to 9th div my third day in army at ft dix and sent to ft riley for all training, went over by ship with 3rd brigade, landed at Vung Tau and went to Bearcat for awhile and then to Dong Tam, I have agent orange leukemia but hanging in there. I also went back to college and did well. If interested you can read my book "Draftee" (Amazon)telling the whole experience. Your tone and feelings about the whole Nam deal is very similar to mine. Peace my brother and be safe..... John Wilson , Cicero, NY (Syracuse)

Thank you for your service, God has Blessed You.

I was in the Mekong Delta September 66 - September 67. With the 52nd Signal B, at Mytho. Unit was called Voice of the Delta.

It shouldn’t be like what is portrayed. Homeless,ptsd,doing badly. It was a part of life. Some grew up and had to serve in a war zone,some never had to serve in a war zone. Majority did their job,served,got out,got jobs,got married ,had families,retired,grew old. Life. Serving Vietnam,a short time in life that you past through. Maybe not the best part,but done,and the significant thing you did do in life that sets you aside..it is a very small percentage that served and had that experience.

Cool man

I was a crew chief on F-4s and I know we did give most of the support to the infantry.

This Vietnam vet salutes you.

I was there just after. Iron triangle, parrot’s beak, angel’s wing, QL-4, My Tho, Tay Nihn, Tan An, and Cambodia too -- 571st Engr, 3rd Bge, 9th Inf 69-70..

I always wondered why the mission in the Mekong Delta was not assigned to the Marine Corps. Seems like a natural fit for the Marines given the waterborne aspect. I guess Westmoreland was partial to the Army.

Did anyone ever know an Edward Allan Augustine from Chicago, recently died?! Musician too, by the name of Billy Strum.

I'm a Vietnam veteran Like your videos Your countdown could be shorter 😂
