Marc B. Puckett's interview for the Veterans History Project at Atlanta History Center

[@KevinD-o8d]

I said it's Memorial Day and many should be watching these today. Search and Destroy day in and day out. If you got set down in Central Highlands man, you were in for wicked humps. Chu Chi in spring of 68 the B52 went up and down and basically stopped another Dak To. This man is very right, you will never be as close again as to that man you fought next to. You fought for him.

Welcome Back,Brother! Loved the personal insights and memories!

[@garyluck8502]

Thanks for your service! Everyone please remember the ones that didn’t make it back home!! Thanks

[@elainemathews3008]

I could listen to Marc speak all day. He tells his story really well. Welcome home from NY

[@BarbTeetzel]

The Veterans are an amazing group of men ❤ Thank you for your Service Sir, it takes a badass individual to endure what you did during your time serving in the Vietnam War, you and the other men had an incredible amount of mental and physical physical strength. This 64 year old woman would have never have made it home, I'm a tough, determined ole lady, that said I know I don't have the mental fortitude these gentleman have. May God Bless our Veterans ❣️

[@kentgregory3299]

I really like this man. Being his friend would be a huge blessing. He’s a good man. Had a couple re-listens. Thank you all for this.

[@jackiemontogmery125]

Marc, thank you for you service. So glad you made it home. You had a rough job in Vietnam. You've done so much in your life. How great that is. My brother & brother in-law were both in Vietnam and made it home. They were fortunate to be in artillery. God Bless you. Grammy from Texas

[@carlpresley9097]

I was in I CORPS 697971 danang Hue phu Bai. I remember Christmas of 69. You could see all the fire bases out in the distance shooting up star clusters etc. We did tge same. Very memorial. Welcome home soldier. You're a good man.

❤I like him, MBP. ❤

[@AllAroundAtlanta]

Thanks for your service! I was on a Coast Guard buoy tender that Christmas night on Miami beach. I was 17. I took the easier softer path. God bless you, I'm glad you made it home.

[@stokestomlin989]

😊excellent work! thanks very much!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Nothing more free than hiking the AT with your dog and the Lord's creation.

[@spudnikca]

good interview. good to hear his post-war activities.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

He is an awesome Man. This interview confirms how messed up the Army is.. Threw them out to walk around in the jungle with no objective. Sure am glad I joined the Navy. :)

[@KevinD-o8d]

Great this troop made it home. Great soldier and I think the man also talking is a Vet, that is a retired Lawyer? If so your story was great also, you knew he was in the mess.

[@kennethprice5628]

Welcome home my brother...71 yo Navy Veteran

[@mebeasensei]

I get the impression that it is a case of Mission Impossible again. Officers were respected not because of the mission, but because they protected their lives, and demonstrated this by talking about their families as a way to show that they too, were looking toward meeting their families.

[@KevinD-o8d]

C's they were called and the jags in the rear always took the best to trade for etc. Tells u a little about it all right there.

[@carlpresley9097]

Marc. Carl m presley here again from the phone number I sent you. My son is a paramedic as what you have done. Love to talk with you. Take care.

[@KevinD-o8d]

All the cheap equipment was compliments of McNamara! He had it all down to a number and a price tag! Of course not his paycheck, that was spot on!

[@Americal1970]

What did we do...? 40 yrs latter , I herd Blocking force. 1st/52nd 198th light Infantry. AMERICAL. We might have bumped in to each other.

[@ytugtbk]

What a decent guy. (Unlike Ho Chi Minh who adopted a pseudonym "Man of Light" just as so many Democrats in the US do.)

[@epicdudesproduction]

Wonderful interview, a real solider.
