After 53 years “Doc” still has the 1000 yard stare. Thank you for your service Doc!

[@jaysandstrom1359]

Oh but the picture of Doc and Larry at the end is worth millions. Doc looks “pleased” and relieved! Amen

[@MS-wc3oz]

This poor man. “Thank you” isn’t enough. I hope you find peace.

[@noname-ye7zj]

Amen

[@Mark7limited]

May God grant this amazing man peace, as well as all vets who deserve our undying gratitude

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you Mark.

[@mikezimmerman2786]

Prayed for Doc Bartlett today for him to find inner peace God bless him for his service to our country.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you Mike.

[@madbrad7274]

I hope the rest of his life is peaceful and he enjoys the pride he deserves

[@VoicesofHistory]

I prayed for him before he left Wednesday for peace.

[@DonaldShifflett-pl2bg]

AMEN

[@lannyfaulkner6697]

I was at Cam Ranh Bay the same time Doc was serving. It is amazing to me that we Air Force guys were in barracks every night with hot meals every day and a shower whenever we wanted. We needed to get supplies to these men, and I am honored to have served them, but their level of sacrifice and suffering makes me feel like I was a tourist. Thank God for such brave men.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Well said. Thank you!!

[@charlesmiddleton3247]

For those who have served and bear the scars of battle and all it entails in its horror... may you know your sacrifices and pain which you bear, have made those who never made it home remembered in dignity, respect and cared about. May their memories of those who loved and knew them stay in their hearts. Thank you "Doc" for still being here and for all you did for those you cared for. Welcome home!! Thank you, VOH for this interview of a great man! Namaste. From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran.

[@tjack49er]

I’m having a hard time holding back tears for this torn hero. My prayers will be with him and his fellow troops more often

[@VoicesofHistory]

Me too.

[@mikesantino9611]

I know Doc personally. He is a outstanding man. It's a honor to know him. Take care my friend.

[@AndyReiser]

This is the best Vietnam vet interview I have ever seen. Period! Thanks for your service, Doc!

[@VoicesofHistory]

Many thanks Andy. I feel the same way. I just finished watching it again. It was an honor to meet and have Doc entrust me with his story. Now many will be touched and helped throughout the world.

[@franslombard3553]

I was a Ops medic in the Angolan / South African war. I know a lot of things you talked about. Respect and I salute you. They do not know what medics go through !

[@nes123ification]

What an incredible interview. To think Doc Bartlett only went through 10 weeks of training to prepare as a Medic in Vietnam is mind boggling. Not only did he see such death & destruction during his tour, he also has a very sad family story as well. I thank this man & will pray for him. Sending blessings from Australia 🇦🇺

[@VoicesofHistory]

Many thanks from Australia. I will share your comment with Doc. If you want to post a letter to him please go to my website and request my mailing address. He would be thrilled to hear from you from far away. God bless you!!

[@Geno2846]

This shook me to the core! Only medics truly understand the pain of being around bunches of soldiers dead and dying right in front of your eyes! My dad was a Medic in WW 11. My mother said he he was a totally changed man. He had terrible nightmares in the night and I could hear him scream bloody screams. He was very bitter about the way that the war was run by those who had never experienced war. Then when I took him to the VA in 1974 they asked him what his net worth was and he came unglued and told them that nobody asked him what his income was when he was drafted and by golly they didn’t need to know what he was worth now! Because they were going to make him pay for his cancer removal if he prospered.

[@steveowens913]

I'm really lucky. I have 3 friends who did that same job in Vietnam. It hit me one day, exactly what all 3 have in common! Just totally cool and calm about any and every thing. We had a boss who had the personality of Darth Vader, and while I was seriously ready to almost commit murder at times, this ex medic wasn't even fazed by the guy! Great guys to this day!

[@enriqueramirez8807]

😅😅😊

[@ticket2space]

​@@Geno2846absolutely incredible. And he's totally right. I've never been incredibly outspoken about mistreatment of veterans, not because I don't think we need to take care of them just because I think it's something most people already know. But your pops is right man. They didn't care how much he made or where he lived or what kind of insurance he had. They told him to go fight and he did. He held up his end of they deal. Why can't the gov do the same? If it was the other way around they'd have their hands in his checks or foot at his door. But it's not an issue cause they're the ones doing the screwing.

[@carolecarr5210]

WW2 Vets are called, " the Greatest Generation", appropriate", but, Doc Bartlett represents a pretty Great generation also. Thank you for this phenominal video.

[@VoicesofHistory]

This video took a lot of courage on behalf of Doc. I am glad he was able to share his story with me last month at my home.

[@doodahman2995]

Damn Right.

[@danieljones7314]

Doc's story took me down memory lane. I remember all the names and places because I was on wounded on Stinson..The Truth will set you Free.@@VoicesofHistory

[@user-gk8zy7yv9w]

I just lost 2 friends that were in Vietnam and now I better understand their issues. This great man's eyes tell me the story more than I ever understood. What a GREAT AMERICAN!!! God bless you Sir!!

[@VoicesofHistory]

The eyes are the windows to the soul. Doc's story is touching many lives across the world.

[@danieljones7314]

The Doc's story touched my soul, everything he said is true, I know....because I was there.@@VoicesofHistory

[@SB-hg5sq]

What an amazing man, had tears in my eyes at the end of that! I cant comprehend what he has gone through and how that chaged his life. I love the chance the vets get to say how proud they are of their service, that would never have been the case a few years ago. Thank you for giving them the chance to be heard.

[@VoicesofHistory]

I appreciate your comment. Thank you very much. Please feel free to share this video. God bless you!!

[@robertafierro5592]

As we get older we realize how afraid we really were. I'm not a Veteran, I've been through other stuff. In no way am I comparing myself to these heroes at all. But that phrase, I figured I'd do my time and get outta there, I had no idea how bad it was..that's the story of my life. Like I said, I've been through other stuff.

[@mikef3726]

Me too😢. He gave his life for our country..literally..his life.

[@user-sk9bx7tg1w]

I've watched many of these stories, this is the saddest one ever. My heart hurts for this Man. Thank you Doc.

[@oldveteran7992]

Thank you for your service Doc. You did incredible interview and recalling your Vietnam tour history. Thank you "Doc" for all you did for those who were wounded and you cared for. Welcome home.

[@Rick-rw6xb]

Thank you, Doc Bartlett, for your service to so many who needed you. You are a good man! God bless you!

[@benjamindion7221]

At moments his stare, you can see him thinking and reliving these events .

[@marvinsannes9397]

Ken Wolf, I grew up with in Mt. Angel, Oregon - 1,800 pop. farming town. Drafted in 65 and said he would NOT carry a gun, made him a medic and shipped to Da Nang. They were running out of a village that was being shelled with mortars, he heard a scream of "m-----f------" and knew it was a soldier. Two black guys dove into a 15' well without the rope to avoid the shelling. Kenny ran back 50' and thru the rope down the well and took off. Guy's got out, got to the copter and told the story when they got back. "Stars and Stripes" needed a story and wrote up a much more detailed account of Ken's heroism. He got the "Medal of Honor", I think. He told us it was a slow week for awards. Told us 20 yrs later he was no hero, scared and running as fast as he could go. They had to run, under fire, a long long way to get to the copter, one of the Black guys took shrapnel in a leg. Ken died of Alcohol Addiction at about 51. Good guy, saved those two brothers from becoming captives or shot. Kenny Wolf's buried in Molalla, Oregon

[@VoicesofHistory]

Marvin I would be interested in trying to tell Ken's story. Do you know how to contact anybody who served with him, or his family? Please let me know. Thank you. EMAIL: [e-mail]

[@Americal1970]

Whoa..! I was in the same unit 1/52, 198 th but a different company. 1970-71. 11 Bravo

[@cwsfan2930]

"I think," means that you don't know. No record of "Ken Wolf" receiving the MOH. Moreover, the action that you described would most likely merit that award

[@cwsfan2930]

CORRECTION: most likely would NOT warrant thr MOH.

[@upstart3782]

As hes talking you can see in his eyes hes living those memories very vividly. Almost lost in his trauma. Greetings from the UK.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you for your comment.

[@garyburns9668]

Many thanks, Gary.

The man is an American Patriot.........Thank You SIR.......for everything .

[@nickigonzales5544]

Thank you sir for sharing your story. Thank you also for advocating for peace. You’re a strong and very admirable man.

[@caisson71]

The most frightening voice on the battlefield is the loud yell .....MEDIC!!!!!. These guys, DOCs, were very respected and treasured in Nam. They were so trusted that they could have done open heart surgery with 100% support and trust on the battlefield.

[@robertgraf8673]

I was in Vietnam, we did daily morning road mine sweeps and i was the demo man and our squad carried our own medic . We would at times be assigned to accompany combat missions and not to bore you with stories but just want to say-there is no soldier I admire and respect more than a COMBAT MEDIC!!!! I think Doc Bartlett just explained why! Thanks Doc!!!

[@MarcLaroche-yc4zz]

Thank you Mr. Bartlett. Thank you for agreeing to do this interview, for your service, for what you did for so many people in Vietnam. I wish you peace, serenity, happiness.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you Marc. God bless you!!

[@VoicesofHistory]

Jeff, thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it. Yes this interview was tremendously powerful and moving. One of my best in 21 years of doing this. So raw, real and honest. Thank you for your service. Keep an eye out for my Iraq film coming out soon. God bless you!!

This left me in tears. I can't imagine what this poor man has gone through his entire life. I just have no words except, Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Jill, I sat there with him through three interviews this week. Tears accompanied me all along our journey together. Thanks for watching and sharing.

[@jillchandler8532]

I corresponded with you briefly about a year ago regarding my HUGE collection of written interviews of mostly WWII airmen. I will email you again this weekend. I want to send this man a letter of Thanks. @@VoicesofHistory

[@user-uy4no1ti1k]

I`m 69 and have no words either other than "tears" when he salute`s :(

[@rb368370]

I recognize the haunted look in his eyes. Doc Bartlett had 10 weeks training to be a combat medic. I had 5 months to be an Aviation Odnanceman in the Marines. Shows the priorities.

[@stevenrisso5535]

I'm speaking here too much, but I look into this man's eyes and see how his Vietnam experience has affected him. I am humbled

[@judyedwards7144]

Me too

[@user-yf3hj8yu7f]

Fantastic interview! I served in the 1st Battalion/52nd Infantry during the same time frame in 1970 as Doc Bartlett. I was an Infantryman in Company B and Doc Bartlett was in Company D. As such, we traversed the same areas and faced the same situations on a daily basis. Over the years I have transcribed upwards of 10,000 pages of radio transcripts from our Battalion and from the Americal Division. These records were recorded in the Daily Staff Journals and provide situation reports from the field. I have never met Doc Bartlett, but many of the incidents he described were familiar and described in the Journals. I couldn’t stop watching this interview. He was describing what we all saw to one degree or another. This interview should be viewed by the spouses of Vietnam combat veterans since most spouses have no idea of what we endured because we don’t discuss our time in Vietnam. Thank you for providing a very powerful interview and I salute Doc Bartlett!

[@VoicesofHistory]

I'm glad you got to watch this interview. I have hundreds of stories recorded from Vietnam. This is probably one of the best. Very few stories through the eyes and ears of a combat medic. I've been contacted by others in the first of the 52nd, Brave and Delta Company. Would you be willing to share your story with me? Please consider doing so. You guys are almost the same age as the World War II Veterans were when I started interviewing them 21 years ago. There is an urgency about my work. In 20 more years who's going to tell your story? God bless you!! Larry Cappetto, EMAIL: [e-mail]

I was with the 1/82 FA, we suporrted the 1/52 198th Lib on Lz Stinson,1970-71.The Doc's story took me back ,I know, I was there.

[@user-zj3pb4ey2w]

I wish to the Dear Lord I had seen this before my beloved husband passed away. I was just wishing that I had understood what my Vietnam veteran husband had gone through when I saw this comment. I have such guilt that I never understood and could have been a more compassionate wife. I am haunted by these thoughts daily.

[@ironeagle2k13]

Doc thank you so much for your sacrifices. I was a combat medic in the 80’s and 90’s and so much of what you said resonated inside me made me remember all those times I was put into that chaos and fog of war that only a medic would understand like sleeping in blood dried uniforms or just seeing violence in such a way that it affects you in every way even into civilian life to this day. God bless you Doc! And I hope that somehow you’ll find love and peace in your life…🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🫡

[@Stax-ht9md]

Doc, First of all, allow me to extend my gratitude for your sacrifice to this country. I'd like to thank you too for sharing some of your life with Larry and us. Yours is a very compelling and thoughtful story, which leaves so much for a person to say. I'll do that in my letter that I will be send. God bless you, Sir.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Chet, as always I'm very touched by your comments. Doc is such a humble man who has been through so much in 75 years. He wanted to tell me his story before he dies. I hope that won't be for a while. I was blessed to spend three days with this man. Seeing him leave yesterday was sad for me. I'm thankful we have his story recorded. We actually did two interviews. I knew that we were making history Tuesday doing this interview. It was a tremendous amount of work but well worth the effort. God bless you my friend. I look forward to sharing my address with you for that letter that you will right to Doc.

[@Stax-ht9md]

@@VoicesofHistory Thank you Larry. We share the same prayer for Doc, and I thank him so much for sharing his story with us.

[@johnbelus7828]

I don't care what people think of me when i say... I cried my eyes out. Welcome home Mr Bartlett. Thank you for your service to this country. You and so many more deserve the respect and honor of the sacrifices you made and hardships you endured. I never served but the ones who did and do are my inspiration to a country that has lost it's way.

[@VoicesofHistory]

"To a country that has lost its way," very true words my friend. Don't be ashamed, I cry too through many of the interviews I have done over the years. How can you not? It shows you're human, that you have a heart and that you care. God bless you!!

[@billg125]

LARRY FOR GOODNESS SAKE, IF THAT WAS NOT ONE OF YOUR BETTER INTERVIEWS I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS. BRIAN, I STOPPED THE INTERVIEW BEFORE BECAUSE I WAS SO OVERWHELMED WITH YOU EXPERIENCES; YOU HAVE SPOKEN BEAUTIFULLY. LARRY, I CAN SEE HOW AFFECTED YOU WERE TOO. PLEASE DO A FOLLOW-UP WITH BRIAN; WHAT A REMARKABLE PERSON HE IS

I have watched many of you videos Mr. Cappetto. I watch them after work. I work nights. This interview is probably one of the most powerful I have watched! I work for a nationwide auto parts company. We give veterans a discount on there purchase. We also have a reserved parking spot for them and we also have the American flag hanging in our storefront window. I always thank them for there service. I think about your interviews when I thank them. God bless you and our Service Men and Women. God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇲

Immediately apon seeing this man's eyes you can see the horrors he's lived through smh. I'm a little way through the interview as I write this but you can just tell he's a good man with a pure heart that's been broken so many times. I genuinely hope that he somehow finds his peace as he lives out the rest of his life. Thank you so much Doc for your service and although you boys didn't get a welcome home at the time I'm saying that now and one day when you cross the gates into heaven I know the good lord will say it as well.

This video is just beginning & already I have tears in my eyes. I was an Air Force Nurse in Japan during that horrendous war. The Medics, Corpmen, & helicopter crews were truly unbelievable. I saw & cared for the men they saved, within 24 - 48 after being hit in the field. They were heroes to a man. My greatest respect is for them. No humans were ever better.

Doc Bartlett, your story touched my life, more than I can express. I wish you peace, and I want to say thank you. So much more than I can express.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you for your Service and Sacrrifice! and Welcome Home! Doc Bartlett! from a fellow veteran. ‘69-‘70 1st Calvary Division (Airmobile)

Thank you Larry. A good job in communicating with our fragile veterans. Thank you Doc for sharing your life as a Combat Medic.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you James for your comment and your continued support of my work.

Peace Brother, You got me when you described your wife dying. I too was a medic, did it for over 30 yrs, both military and civilian. I understand how you felt... exactly ... I don't grieve... It's done, it's over, next. PTSD is there, varying degrees, smells, bodies, blood, cordite... Yes. I'm Canadian but thank you for your US service. I wish peace for you. My salvation was a sailboat, for years I did stupid shit like sailing when it wasn't fit to be out... Had to have the rush, get into shit I might not get out of etc. After 25 years of that I think I'm half normal. The need isn't there anymore. Everyone deals differently, I paid for a rum brewery, smoked... never did drugs, learned to fix cars, weld, ran remote clinics in the Arctic.... 61 now and might be out the other side.

Doc, your story brought a tear to my eye. I thank you deeply for your many sacrifices sir. What a man you are! It takes a lot to share a story of that magnitude. Such an honor to have been able to hear it. May God bless and keep you all of your days. And, of course, thank you Larry for your work. You truly are cementing these stories into the history books. Stories that otherwise would’ve never been passed on.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I hope Doc will read this comment someday. It's one of the best. God bless you!!

No number of words can convey my respect for this man. Every participant in that war has a story that needs to be heard. There are so many lessons to be learned, and so much respect to be paid.

[@humbleguy4726]

I have watched many of these interviews in this excellent series but this is the one that really got to me. It left me with a heavy heart and a profound sadness, how is it even possible to comprehend what he went through? I don`t have any more words to express myself about this Hero.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you for your kind words. I can relate to how you are feeling. This story leaves me wanting to just hug Doc and never let go.

I had the honor of being a medic instructor at Ft Sam from May of 70 thru Sept 71. It’s very likely that I taught Doc Bartlett. James R Brown, Spc 4.

I hope Brian "doc" Bartlett can live the rest of his life in peace as he 100% deserves to, thank you for your outstanding service, best interview I have ever seen, I was 9 years old when "doc " went to vietnam, I am a new Zealander but I remember many discussions and news about Nam and even though a child I felt the fear of the Nam war. So sorry for the tragic loss of your wife and your mom 😪 keep speaking your truth to power !!!!
