I was there in the A Shau, 1969, with the 101st, B Battery/2/319 Arty, then as an attached artillery RTO, B Company, 2/506th Infantry. It was a ride folks! BTW, the music sucks, but I just shut it off, and enjoyed the film clip! Thanks!

Amazing the amount of supply that was sent to Vietnam during the War. Staggering amount of material men and machinery. Money and men were no object. Thank you all for your service in a War that just confused the shit out of us all but we went anyway. Sad to me.

It was such a terribly sad time 😢🇺🇸, but our Fighting Men DID THEIR JOBS, even when their hands were tied by bureaucratic nonsense. God bless everyone who served.......I was planning to go as a field RN, but God’s plan was larger and better than mine.....The War Ended. So I chose becoming an ER/TRAUMA RN for the duration of my career. There were no guys and gals like THOSE guys and gals....ALL HEART AND SOUL. Praise God for people like them. May you open your hearts, minds and spiritual eyes to Jesus Christ TODAY - He is waiting for you with open arms. 🕊❤️🙏🙋♀️🌹🌹🌹💜✝️✡️🇺🇸

Hi, Joe. Can you tell me anything about 191st M.I. Team 3 1969-70 1st Calvary Airmobile( detachment ) specifically, my daddy Don Welch SP5-E5 from Colorado who was in country Sept.1969-70. I can’t ask him as he died, Agent Orange ( presumptive CAD ), Dec. 2017. He never talked about it, we were warned young, not to light candles, or watch war movies. He raised my brother & I when he retuned home & my mom had other plans..he was a great dad. He never knew he was entitled to benefits, only after passed did I file for DIC for my step-mom. Granted. Service related. I just wish I could talk to him..one more time. He will always be my hero. Thank you for serving, I hope you are well. I know the price so many have paid, so that we may have the freedoms here, I am really sad about that cost to all of you. Very sad, to look into this war. Appreciate you, all of you.

The ABCs of Salvation, or how to be right with God, and know you're going to Heaven: A-dmit that you're a sinner, and need a Savior. As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one. Romans 3:10 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 B-elieve that Jesus Christ died paying the penalty for your sins, and rose from the grave. He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross. 1 Peter 2:24 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures... 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 C-all on the Lord Jesus Christ to save you, and trust only in Him for your salvation. If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13 The moment you "believe," or, put your trust in what Jesus has done for you, God saves you and your eternal destiny in Heaven is assured. You go from spiritual death to eternal life the moment you believe. Jesus said it this way: Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. John 5:24😀
