Reading through the comments here I see that Lance Corporal Buddy Mann was KIA I dedicate the two songs by SSgt Barry Sadler from his 1966 record album Ballads of the Green Berets to the 58,220 American soldier KIA during the Vietnam conflict. "The Soldier Has Come Home" SSgt Barry Sadler Lay the green sod on me Carve my name in stone Lay the green sod on me The soldier has come home Don't mourn for me, my darling Don't cry when I am gone Don't mourn for me, my darling The soldier will come home My friends have gone before me And layed their tired bodies down My friends have gone before me To prepare the resting ground Let me go to sleep now To march and fight no more Let me go to sleep now I'm tired, my body's sore So lay the green sod on me Put the wreath upon my stone Lay the green sod on me The soldier has come home "Lullaby" SSgt Barry Sadler Go to sleep, it's getting late My watch says it's half past eight In an hour I must go When I'll be back, well I don't know While I'm gone, you'll be a man Help your mama when you can It's a big job, I can see For a boy just pushing three Son, can I have a little kiss Just a small one you won't miss That's right, close your sleepy eyes You shouldn't see your daddy cry So go to sleep, it's getting late My watch says it's half past eight In an hour I must go When I'll be back, well I don't know

Congenial, southern gentleman. Patriot and hero. God bless.

Rest in peace. 😢 Sad to know he didn't make it...especially never seen his daughter.

And what's the point of all this? A senseless war, the Americans call them heroes, but they themselves invaded another country. The most criminal country in the world, there are no heroes there. Wars are starting, and they are senseless. In America there are only imaginary heroic pussies, a country made of paper, without history.

The politicans that make war, should send their children to war first

Anyone here from the third battalion ninth marines my grandfather was a corpsman there

L.Cpl Buddy Mann from Brasfield, AR USA Born June 4, 1947 KIA - Thừa Thiên-Huế, Republic of South Vietnam Dec. 6, 1967

Sir, you were faaaaaar from a natural born chicken! RIP

Man, this is so powerful and poignant. Young Marine well aware of the dangers and odds he was facing, just wanted to make it home to his wife and baby girl. I never understood why we had these Marines as basically “sitting ducks” getting blown up by enemy artillery from Laos.

How old was he during this interview?

After viewing this clip, my first thought was, did he survive? Apparently not since I was looking thru the comments. Respect. RIP.

I will be at Con Thien in October 2024. I will say a prayer for Lance Corporal Buddy Mann and all the other Marines who did and didn't make it home. Rest in Peace Buddy.

Thank you to him, thank you to your family... you may have never known him, but you do. This video is incredible. My dad went to con thien in '68. He raiaed me as a single dad, but my point is I saw him everyday, but never got to see him like this, in this footage. If i had, we wouldnt have fought so much. 🇺🇸

Wow, what a gift to have from your father. This is probably the only thing you have from him. I know some may not understand what I'm getting at, but some only have old photos or old 8mm silent films of their fallen fathers. I'm a veteran myself and I want you know that you are also a hero. It's up to you to keep his legacy alive for future generations.

My!! How his eyes lit up when he spoke of you.

Bless Buddy’s soul and prayers for his daughter. She’s been without her Dad her whole life, and has lost her Mom. Peace & Blessings. ✝️🙏

How old was he here?

So sorry you never got to know your dad. Seems like a great guy. Spent a little time there in 69. Love you. USMC

Janet, I can’t imagine the pain you’ve always lived with not having known your father, but what a treasure this video is. As a combat veteran of Iraq I identify so much with this young man, and his country lost a great man, with the war robbing us all of his future and the good he would have done.

Rest in peace sir your legacy lives on

We will never forget your name and your bravery Buddy...Your name and others like you that shared the same experience of war shall forever be remembered...Thank you buddy and i'm so sorry for your loss @janet man-stewart....

Your dad is resting in peace. after Con Thien..the Hill of Angels. Read the book to know more about what he went thru. A very nice father..hearing and watching the interview. My thoughts are with him and you. PF..Semper Fidelis..22 years..USMC..VN.. Era 1972..75. . are with him and you.

I am so sorry about you losing your dad. He seems like such a nice guy. I'm a Christian, so I believe he's a decent soul, I can feel it, and I believe he's in a good place now; a safe place. God bless you, Janet Ellen.

You have his eyes, he may have died but he lives forever in our hearts, he is immortal now.

Tough to watch

RIP 🙏🏼 thank you for your service 🇺🇸

Bless this man.

This is heart breaking. Then I find out his daughter, who maybe never saw him uploaded it. I'm sorry for what you and your family went through. I'm sorry your father was lied to and sent off to war. I hope he's at peace

I’m really sorry for your loss you didn’t deserve it he will be remembered always I hope your having a good time now but he will fly high in heaven

I am very sorry for your loss! This is incredible you were able to track this all down and find video! Your pops seems like he was a very good guy! I’m sorry you never got to have that connection! I know he’s looking over! History guy in Minnesota!

This should be showed at ever Super Bow halftime edited for 90 seconds for every RINO that wants the fly over boys and girls to fight in the foreverwar

I visited Con Thien firebase in 2006. Looks pretty much the same as in this video.

The fact that he never got to meet his baby girl...that hit hard..

He was definitely very charming

Keep your head up Janet Ellen, your father loved you & gave his life for freedom for others. We All should be very proud of out Vietnam Soldiers💥

My grandpa fought in the same war … he survived but died back in 2014 ❤. Rest both of their souls

Our country FAILED this man. My condolences to you and your mother. he seemed like a good man.

He looks like a really nice guy who just wants to see his family. Got dragged into this😢

These wars are stupid. Everyone wants to talk about politics and argue about what side is the good guy or what do we believe in. All of that blows right out the window as soon as the first round zips past your head. Then, it becomes a fight to just survive and make it out okay. You do your best to survive and maybe help your buddies in the same hole with you. But, they don’t always make it despite your best efforts. And then you get home to have all of these morons argue about trivial things as if they’ve been there with you and have somehow earned the right to speak on your behalf back home. It’s all a big CF.

Where are those caliber of men now

It's one thing to be a soldier, and being a father don't mix you try to be fearless but in back of your mind as hard as you try to forget is that little girl it makes you hesitant, trying to make the percentages in your favor, horrible feel scared for your health for something half a world away. Rest easy bro's I'll see all of ya on that other side Delta 2 G out

Awww so sorry this interview really touched my heart

God bless them all ❤😢

GO TO JANET ELLEN -STEWART,,HIS LITTLE GIRL. IF THIS DOESNT PUT A TEAR IN YOUR EYE YOU MIGHT BE ALREADY DEAD,,,,THE DAUGHTER SAYS,,,BUDDY WAS KILLED ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AFTER THE INTERVIEW,,,JUST A KID REALLY. SO MANY OF ALL COLORS AND SEVERAL OTHER NATIONS GOT BACK THEY MEN AND SOME WOMEN IN SHIPPING CRATES,,FIRST TIME I EVER WENT TO A FUNERAL HOME THE GI,,HAD MADE HIMSELF A WOODEN BOX LIKE YOU SEE ON THE MUNSTERS,,THAT SHAPE,,THAT IS WHAT HE WAS PUT IN,,,AND A PINK NETTING OVER HIM AT THE FUNERAL HOME,I THINK IT WAS WHEN THE FUNERAL HOME IN OWENSBORO ,KY WAS DOWN BY THE OLD DEPO ON FREDRICA ST
