This interview would have been so much better if the interviewer would let him tell his story without so many interruptions.

[@Rubeless]

Sounds like he is very impatient, college liberal type

[@stevefirst1512]

Struck me as never having been in the military but did a few of these interviews, learned quite a bit about procedures, equipment and geography and was more than willing to show his knowledge. On the other hand, hes probably a volunteer, doesnt get paid for these and we arent paying to listen to them. So ill take what i get i guess. And after all, this vet you can tell is the quiet laid back type and needed a little prodding. But then boy did he open up once the fighting started.

Welcome home Roger. Sounds like we were at Ft. Knox at the same time, I was sworn in at Detroit on July 29, 1969. Took a bus to Knox and arrived there right at daylight on the 30th. We did get yelled at right away. My journey was different than yours as I ended up in Germany instead of Nam. Glad you made it back.

Great man. Great interview. Some of it is absolutely heartbreaking. You realize these guys sacrificed not only a year of their lives but it followed them around everday when they came home. Imagine the illegal immigrants flooding our boarders who know nothing about U,S history or the sacrifices our brave veterans made. Sad.

To give what they did and be treated Second Rate back at home..

[@Elvisthebullyking]

Well said. I agree

[@GL1998X]

It's hard to describe one's ability to repress memories or the scars that war leaves. Even when you get home and everything feels great, a couple years later, your brain decides it's time to open the vault and rock your world.

[@Rubeless]

Yeah bud, add that in with whatever we went through as kids(physical and mental abuse from parents), dealing with disrespectful people after all that…I’m lucky I caught it in time.

[@sandeewood2948]

First off . Hey brother , I hope you are still kicking . I know we all had a different tour , depending on what we did . I started out working in Tay Ninh in a Med. Det and flew a FEW dust off missions and worked in our Evac Det. I ended up as a Blue with the 25th I.D. I want you to think about this brother . Philp would have had ZERO chance if YOU hadn't of had the guts to get him out of your APC !! Trust me brother , as a medic . I have beat myself up a bit about what I couldn't get done . I don't think any of us didn't freeze up a time or two , even if it was for seconds . I like you , ended up with hardly anything to show from my time in RVN . Actually , when I left in 71 there was a whole list of shit that we were given at BH while we out processed that were banned from taking home. One of those items was pictures that showed the wrong stuff . We had to dump all our shit on a table , and AFTER we had a " Free period " to dispose of banned shit that we had without penalty . Some REMP MP's dug through what was left and looked for banned shit . If something was found , they said you'd go straight to LBJ . I lost pictures and even a SKS I was going to bring home , but I did not have the proper PW . They said if I wanted to stay THREE more days in country I could submit the proper PW . I di di'd the F out and some REMP MP has been telling war stories about the SKS he brought home from Nam the last 50 odd years :D STAY STRONG BROTHER , there are less of us by the day .. doc 68-71

[@johanemersongrobler]

God bless you, Roger Healy.

[@bennieparker4143]

That’s my regret not taking pictures

[@davelane4055]

Welcome home belatedly to you and all the brave Vietnam veterans WHOOAH

[@TheMattC9999]

Man, is this interviewer there to listen to this man's story or tell it for him?

[@Rubeless]

Just doing it for the money

[@Fender664string]

[@ChristSavesUs]

Thank you for your sacrifice and service Sir. And thanks for telling your struggle in Vietnam. Sorry for your loss and the weight you carry.❤🫡 also, if you didn't go to get your duffel bag then you wouldve never saw your injured partner and he would've burned up in there. So you did great getting him outta there.👏💯
