Great story. My father in law, who also fought in Vietnam,finds it very hard to talk about it too. Can't wait to see the video with his voice. What an amazing oral history.

I loved the pictures and your video. I will have to share this with my father. He was in the Air Forces and has told me some stories of that event. Awesome pictures! This is a great tribute to all of those who have fought for our freedoms!

I was the 3rd Platoon Radio Man. Lt Nelson was our Platoon Commander. Charlie Company was the lead Company and 3rd Platoon was the lead Platoon. Our squad was the was the lead. I was with the lead squad. Our whole squad either was wounded or died. Cahill our lead man was the first to be killed. Lt Nelson was seriously wounded. He did get out on our first med vacs. October 12, 1967 was a day that I will never forget. I still deal with it today. Thanks for sharing the great video.

Semper Fi,
