Thank you, Mr. Kelm. You brought much comfort to the families who lost loved ones. You are a true hero.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Amen David, my favorite story of all the stories I've done.

[@williamwright7485]

Thank you, Mr. Kelm, for your service to our nation, to truth and liberty, and for this wonderful interview.

[@VoicesofHistory]

William, thank you for watching. Gene‘s story is my all-time favorite. I thought I’d re-release it. Feel free to share.

My God.... *First off, if this man is reading these comments, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!! I hope you've found some peace, and hopefully a little closure after what you witnessed (if there is such a thing).* We see people coming back from wars today who VOLUNTARILY signed up for every illigitimate reason possible, who never fired a weapon, and worked as a mail-clerk, then turn around and complain that the military had the NERVE to send them to a warzone, and now are trying to milk their now-mandatory "PTSD" for all it's worth. And, that's to say nothing of the woke trash we see infecting ALL of our armed services. *And yet this is the first time this man has talked about an experience we can't even begin to comprehend.* I hope he knows how appreciated and loved he is by all the people who still love, and make America worth living in.* I've thought about the soldiers who handled the remains of our soldiers, a lot over the years (it's impossible not to when studying the horrors of history). But, short of the soldiers in the field who had relationships with the soldiers who got killed, and watched them die horrible deaths, right before their eyes....these guys had the next worst job (not to intentionally compare their jobs, that's not my intention). Every time I hear an interview like this, I think it should be absolutely mandatory that these corrupt, hypocritical, completely unaccountable, pieces of filth in D.C. have some skin in all these unnecessary wars (among a whole list of other things). Then again, for the first time in my life, we have a POTUS in the White House, who, frankly, I don't think would care if his kid was killed in a third-world, war (third-world or otherwise) as long as he could retain power (and his corvette)......not sorry. But, I digress..... Another overwhelmingly powerful interview, Larry, and a big thank you to Chet Howard, as well. And, you looked a bit younger in this interview. We're gettin' old brother!

As Mr. Kelm said, it requires a special person to work with the body of someone who has passed, especially in battle. Mr. Kelm was not preparing a body for its shipment to the United States, he was returning a child back to their parents. I am glad the US Government took up the responsibility of getting our soldiers back, and I am grateful that someone like Mr. Kelm was chosen to perform such an important task. God bless you Mr. Kelm.

[@KeithSeafield]

Mr. Klem thank you for your service! Your interview brought me to tears. My father was in the 604th Graves Registration Company APO Iwo Jima. God Bless You!

[@stevewalker4638]

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you kindly Mike. My all-time favorite story.

[@mikeomaly]

@VoicesofHistory Thank you for all this on your channel! Thank you for all your hard work! Amazing channel!

[@Americal1970]

Your strong believe me, you are strong. Then and now.

[@wandar7717]

Hello Larry and thanks for another video. It’s sad and sometimes even difficult for me to hear these interviews but the truth needs to be told. Mr. Kelm, you are an amazing person and I thank you for your service.

[@jeffreywhitaker5154]

I remember this episode, it was an interesting look at the different jobs you can have and how it can affect your life.

[@edwardh1591]

Mr. Klem thank you for your service. God bless!

[@MichaelCerovski]

Sad, but riveting.

[@Russellsagecline]

The notch on the dog tag was simply an alignment notch for proper placement in the embossing press used prior to the Vietnam era. It's a misnomer that the tag was jammed between the teeth. This wouldn't be possible for the thousands of dead soldiers with gaps between their teeth. I, nevertheless respect this mans service.

[@jamespalmer4945]

You know his haunted by so many young faces he had to see comes across his mortuary. It’s understandable his inability to keep composure

[@kevbrown7137]

Another horrific side of war. Still clearly affected by the sights and trauma... 🙏

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you!!!

[@Thomas-uw1gq]

I had a friend who worked there, Terry Miller.

I watched Ken Burns dvd set on Vietnam. I've watched hundreds of documentaries. John McCain was the only pow that I saw CRYING about his condition and his wife. Now this was while he was there. Knowing how he kept quiet about the MANY men we left over there, pretty much adds up. No respect for John McCain. Off topic from this gentleman's story, but very upsetting.

[@workingguy-OU812]

You have to be kidding me, right? Who are you - Donald Trump?

[@Bumper776]

McCain insisted that inquiries into possible POW/MIA sightings be shut down.

[@Kevin-wj4ed]

They died for nothing.

[@garypiont6114]

So did the drug overdoses that ran amok.

[@Lexingtonandconcord75]

This is a side of war not often explored. Im grateful for individuals like Mr. Kelm who honor every man hes come across who gave it all for us. Also, thank you Mr. Cappetto for making these men and their stories your mission.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you for your kind words. Means a lot. This is my most favorite story of all the interviews I’ve done the past 21 years.
