The American Navy In Vietnam (1967)

[@astudentpilotlife]

My grandpa was the Huey Medic evac pilot during the Viet Nam War. He told me story especially during the fall of Sai Gon. He told me that he keep on flying back and forth to help the U.S. and Vietnamese civilian to escape from the VC. And when it was his time to go he refused to go with the U.S. and stay back behind to defend his belive and the church. Because of his heroic act, many many life was life and his life was spared too. The VC seeing how he didn't just flee but stay back to protect the church and all who was innocent hiding inside the church . However, he was imprisoned for 13 year including the re-education camp. And when he was finally free, he have to fight another war to become a fully U.S. citizen and when he finally is and living in the U.S. he have to fight another one is with the VA and how many people view the Viet Nam veteran as a murdered and sometime accused my grandpa as one not known lying that he was a huey medic pilot that save life. He also told me story how his Friend at that time was the captain of the huey got shot by a sniper forcing my grandpa to fly alone while trying to save his life by his side while trying to land in the hot zone to save both the vietnamese soldier and the American soldier even occasionally some NVA and the Viet Cong. He also told me a story when he also got shot but save by the an inch only tearing his flight suit. A few years ago, he give me his photo flying in the Huey by some American Journalists and we think he was on some footage but still can't find it. And as up today, he is alive and well.

@A student Pilot Life Send my thank you to your grandpa I suggest you do a interview with him and post to your channel I can send you a list of questions to ask for a historical record to be digitized and remembered for future study of Vietnam

[@ElimGarakSpoonHead]

His service to Vietnamese and Americans is much appreciated. Welcome home to your father.

[@SissyMchill1]

Me watching 👀 in hopes to see my dad. He was deployed on this ship 67-68. He was helicopter mechanic, and door gunner on the Huey. Thankfully I got my dad back. Many from my generation did even get to meet their dad. But he was deeply scared .

[@TheLeadSled]

Most did not realize that the US Navy played a big role in the Vietnam War. There aircraft carriers launched sortie after sortie during the entire war, not to mention the brown water Navy which patrolled the small rivers all around Vietnam, they inserted special forces into enemy held areas, the United States Navy did a fantastic job and to all those that served during this horrific war this combat veteran salutes everyone of you.

It's crazy to see almost exactly what my dad went through in the Navy during that time in the Vietnam War.

My dad was in the Navy during vietnam. He won't talk about it though.

[@davidsoule1252]

I thank your father for his service! I am also a U.S. Navy Vietnam Veteran. My father was a WWII Veteran. He rarely talked about his WW11 service. I understand as I rarely talk about my service in Vietnam. You should be very proud of your father for his service to our country. I have only recently opened to my family about my service in Vietnam.

My Uncle Denny was here somewhere in the brown water Navy.

[@stephenmccandless3167]

The brown navy went up the rivers (River Patrol) ..

[@BREW530]

That's crazy my uncle Danny was in the brown water to, never heard him talk about it but my dad (blue water) told me some stuff. Uncle Danny was on a small boat thats job was to do geological tests way up into all the different water channels and rivers and map it for other boats so they knew which vessels could go where.

Admiral James Stockdale who spent 7 years as a POW in North Vietnam was at Tonkin and said basically the same thing it was false. That said the U.S. still needed to prevent Communism from taking over South Vietnam.

[@nonnobissolum]

If all of the dead of the war in Vietnam (USA estimates) were added together--civilians north and south, military north and south, plus US personnel, are added up, it is in the vicinity of 3.2 million. The cost in 2019 USD is placed at around 864 billion. That's $265,000 per dead person, regardless of which side, civilian or not, etc. Obviously the cost and numbers skew even less favorably/intelligently if devoted purely to one side or another. Money well spent, wouldn't ya say? 😢Wonder if all those folks would have gladly "stayed home," metaphorically speaking, if offered that amount in cash, or even half that--particularly in light of the ultimate failure of the enterprise from an American standpoint. Hmmmm....And then there's the question of whether it would have been cheaper and more effective in the long run to just shower down/airdrop cash U$D in SW Asia and the Middle East in recent decades, rather than wage war. I'm as genuine a patriot as any in my beloved home country, USA, but I'm not a fan of the MIC that Eisenhower warned of, or the racket of war that Gen Smedley Butler USMC spoke of. Blind jingoism and empty hubris notwithstanding, please begin to THINK, people. Please. It may already be too late...
