My dad served in Vietnam in 65 and 66 in the Marines 2/4 and 3/7. He now goes to group meetings every Monday morning for support and his PTSD. (Mostly Vietnam vets)
A couple of years ago a new guy showed up he was a crew chief (I believe) and started telling a story of a battle he flew into, there was 1 injured soldier that stuck out to him that day, as he continued talking about it one of the other vets piped up. That 1 soldier was him being Medivacced out. Small world, they first met half way around the world and 50 years later they reunite again at the VA during a support group session.
Friends dad was a door gunner as well. He flew in to Vietnam got off the plane jumped into a Huey to go to the FOB and he couldn't figure out why everyone was sitting on their helmets. Less than 5 min later he figured it out when a round went through the floor and into his ass. So less than 5 min in country and he got his first of 3 purple hearts. LOLSome more Huey shots....7,000 roughly deployed to Vietnam. Over half shot down. Helicopter crew life expectancy was half of an infantry man But they had no shortage of volunteers.

He’s baaaaack!
Tank I don’t know how the hell you find these photos but they blow me away.
Thank you brother.
The first time I saw this thread and all of your pictures I thought they were of your adventures, and I was jealous.A lot of the stuff is from articles I read or quick online stories. If I see a cool pic I'll save it. Wait til theres a bunch saved up and I'll dump them into this thread. Sometimes, I'll be reading an article and it talks about something and I'll research it and find more cool photos. Either way, whenever I find good stuff I save it to post here.
Ha. I wish. And it’s not really my thread. I believe brown started it. Others contributed. I really enjoyed the photos and looking through them and started collecting and adding my own. Now it seems I’m the only one that posts but it doesn’t have to be that way.The first time I saw this thread and all of your pictures I thought they were of your adventures, and I was jealous.

Did that eagle steal the fox's dinner or is the fox trying to steal the eagles dinner?
