VOICES OF HISTORY PRESENTS - Sgt. Marc Bartlett, VIETNAM, 1st Cavalry, 1969- 1970

[@ThomasWBaldwin]

My dad was a VA doctor. I knew a lot of these men, even though I am only 61 now. The government slaughtered many high quality men with this war.

[@BlueWaterSTAX]

Thanks for the interview Mr. Bartlett. Your a great guy. We appreciate the service to our country. Another gem Larry. The people alive, this generation resonates more with Vietnam ✌️

[@MichaelCerovski]

Thanks again, Larry. You honor us all by honoring them in their service. How can we do more for you, for them, for us. Thank you, Marc, for being part of 'our' platoon. Darlene and Michael.

[@bubbagump116]

I have been through a similar experience with my Mom. Very similar and painful to have to see someone you love to go through so much pain.

Hello Sgt Marc Bartlett from Cpt Kenneth W. Bartlett age 86. I served the first time with the 4th IN Div in Pleiku as a LT in the Central Highlands for a complete year much to my surprise. I was wounded at a base camp . I was medivaced and ended up being returned to Vietnam and ended up with the 23 Div Americal. I was assigned as a company commander for only about 6 weeks. Our Bde Cmdr was "Mr Gung Ho at the expense of the soldiers . We ended up in a firefight and I was wounded in my left arm And came close to losing my arm. was medevaced back stateside while my company continued with that senseless fight, and losing yet another soldier. Marc this is about you so I will close wishing you well and GOD speed.

Captain Bartlett, welcome!! I just got back from Florida where I interviewed more Vietnam Veterans. Perhaps one day our paths will meet. God bless you!!

[@ThomasWBaldwin]

@@VoicesofHistory thanks for this interview. My heart isn't as cold and black as it was 30 minutes ago.

[@Stax-ht9md]

Marc, thank you for sharing Sandi as part of your story. It was touching to learn of the respect she gave to the medals you earned in service to this country. We all grow stronger from women like your wife. Welcome home Sir, and good luck with your garden!

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thanks again, Chet, losing Sandi has been very difficult for Marc. I pray for him. I pray that the eyes of his understanding will be enlightened to the hope of the gospel and Jesus 🙏

[@glockerbob]

[@garyoakes6554]

As a fan of historical interviews I thank u for a great job done. These are so compelling. Couldn't imagine what this generation has gone through. By far I feel the vietnam vet had it the hardest.

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thank you Gary.

[@MrPearlsareforever]

Great interview as always. 🕊

[@charlesmullins3238]

[@Scarlett-mv7xj]

This man holds in a lot of pain + grief ( I hear it in his voice and how he tells his life story ) I am so sorry sir I hope my comment will help you. Let it all hang out / go in the fields and scream / cry a river ! It is never too late.... Warm patriot greetings from the Netherlands

[@bubbagump116]

Keep up the great work, thank you so much

[@VoicesofHistory]

Thanks, will do!

[@jackmundo4043]

Smart man. Enjoyed it. Thanks.

[@ThomasWBaldwin]

Its not invincibility, its a mind set of "I am already dead". If you live through the onslaught, then there you are.

[@ThomasWBaldwin]

Stranded in the ocean, miles away from shore, during a lightning storm swimming from a sunken boat, with no life jacket, I found that "God" people talk about, during a depth charge attack. Helpless and struggling looking up at the dark sky with lightening bolts cracking in the waves around me, and I didn't die. That was 40 years ago.

[@psychmr2365]

While I was in the Marine Corps, in the mid-1980’s, I participated in a NATO exercise in the U.K. I was sent to a British Army Fort in the small town of Brecon, Wales. While there, wearing my uniform and standing at a crosswalk, a Welshman approached me and asked if I was in the American Marines. He stated that in the 1960’s he joined the U.S. Army so to be part of America’s Vietnam experience.

[@daveh7038]

Mr Bartlett, Either Jesus was the biggest deceiver that ever lived or he was the savior of men like we are told in the Bible. Thank you for your service sir.

[@randynorman742]

Ptsd for sure. Life goes on forever and your spirit will live on forever. See you the next time around soldier.

[@ThomasWBaldwin]

Politicians ran this war and booted Westmorland, the battle ax, in leu of LOSS.

[@ThomasWBaldwin]

Choppers? I designed built and tested HEX quadruple redundant fuel controls for 1000's of rigs for many years. I think none of my PC Boards failed in a bird. FAA approved radiation hardened components.

[@ThomasWBaldwin]

An atheist is a theist of their own soul; which may be better than analyzing a communal soul and coming to a certain conclusion. one can believe in one's own spirit and realize everyone has a spirit. my question is where do our minds and spirits and souls go when we leave our meat suits. That to me, is a complete mystery. I am an electrical engineer and read Dawkins and many other publications. I won't know until i know, that's how I deal with GOD. GOD exists to me as the thing that fights men's WILL. God sends cold, man builds a house and heats it. GOD sends heat. Man invents AC to fight against God's, or "nature's" WILL. It is a constant battle of survival between nature's will and man's existence, i think. Put it this way, God pisses me off everyday.🤣

[@xballsport]

It's unfortunate he doesn't believe in God. Very unfortunate.

[@brendantuck8734]

Why is that?
