Thanks for your service !

Welcome home brother. Carl amspaaugh. Phu bai.68 69. Camp eagle.

I joined to protect family and country, so joined 82, Special Forces, MAC SOG, and CIA MAC, PHOENIX, Was proud until I came home I cannot forgive how we were treated and how the VA was shitty with no help. I'm still angry, hard to talk hard to forgive, hard to associate.

The bad guys were the Americans sir with all respect to all veterans.. The Vietnamese just defended thy homeland

I was with the 198th Light Infantry Brigade on LZ Professional with a brigade of the 101st from May till October 1969. Glad you made it home.

Thank you for your service if people hide there story history will repeat itself

I also served in Vietnam, 1st Cav Div. Tay Ninh, 69 & 70. I came home in Aug. of 1970 and I first learned why I was the way I am in 2003. I got into the mental health part of the VA and I'm glad that I did. I have been going to war trauma group sessions for 20 years and it has helped me tremendously. I am so glad to see that you made it home, welcome home brother.

I WANT TO THANK YOU MR BAKER .I WANTED TO BE A ARMY GUY MY WHOLE LIFE BUT THEY WOULDNT LET ME .COCKSUCKERS ..BUT MY DAD WAS 101 HE WAS A RADIEO MAN AND CARRIED ATHAT PRICK 82 ,LOL

I can't explain why but seeing my fellow Vietnam vets as old graybeards like myself seems weird. In my mind's eye I see post war Vietnam vets as a scruffy longhair 20 something dressed is his old army fatigue jacket/shirt which was a common sight for several years.

Thanks for your service brother respect and love for you

Life is not kind, we all carry residue from the past. Bless these guys.

Sir. I am the son of a Vietnam Veteran. I mean it, when I say. You are so dear. 1stSgt USMC retired. Thank you.

I want to Sincerely Thank You for your Service to our Great Nation, Mr. Baker! Thank You for sharing your story with us. It means a lot for me to hear your experiences. My Prayers are with you my Friend in Christ. 🤗🥇👏👍🙋‍♂️💐🌹❤️🙏🙏🇺🇸🫡

God bless u old 101st troop!!

What a very geniune man speaks from the heart your good man Tom i was in army 1964 1970 UK take care friend god bless you.

My father was only kid from his block that got sent to Vietnam and come back alive... He lost 4 friends he grew up with (including Charles Buckey Mason one of his best friends who was killed days before getting sent home) and he was never able to drink that pain away. He only told me a few stories, the night he was getting flow in for his deployment the Tet offensive began, as he was landing a ammo dump got blown up... He said, "They've been us we were winning, this doesn't look like winning!"

It's like you were on my team Tom ... I'm 75 and still have the nightmares, I figured that they were just part of being a Sniper and combat solder, the VA Rep said we spent just over 330 days in the Jungle Top told me at a medal ceremony where I got my Bronze Star and a "Brave Eagle" award that with 25 cents and those medals I could get a cup of coffee in the "world" ... he was just joking, but after I got home I realized he was spot on. We were even ordered not to wear our dress uniforms off base as it might upset the locals? Thanks for telling your story ... Ken; 2/502 Infantry, 101st Airborne ... Agent orange has taken all my VN Veteran friends, I hope you got lucky .... by the way there is no cure for PTSD. The VA rep told me that they tested 71 mood stabilizers and non work permanently ... Also both my parents were orphans, and like you I made a commitment I wouldn't be like my dad with my 3 sons. I paint (I have a degree as a teacher in fine arts) and paint the story of war. I haven't seen my sons in a few years, I never raised a hand to them and never told them what I did over there. I have tried to bury it, without any luck. I miss those boys and because of Agent Orange and birth defects ... I have no grand children. When ever they asked me for money or help, I ALWAYS gave it to them. They blame me for the birth defects issues and my wife left me 43 years ago. The worst is these holidays, again I spent it alone with my pets and my art studio. Sadly i can no longer walk without a wheeled walker. I hope all this ends soon.

“WELCOME HOME BROTHER”!!! Your story deserves to be told, there are ALOT of us out here who are willing to listen, you deserve that.

I hope this brave man came home and lived a life of love and happiness.

From one Eagle to another ... HUGS Brother!

Thank you for sharing your story and your service.

my last unit was the 11th a.c.r.!! 80's! peace to all!!!!!

God bless u for ur service!! 80's vet from alaska to europe!!!!@

I’m 70 years old. I never served, even though I had always dreamed of being a Paratrooper like my Dad had been. My older brother had joined in 69, and had gone to Vietnam in70. When he came home he told me to forget about that foolish dream. It wasn’t what I’d been programmed to believe. His exact words, as he pinned me to the wall and said ( nose to nose), “David, this ain’t no goddam John Wayne movie!” That was a real turning point in my life. I realize now, the depth of his PTSD. He too had experienced the awful and fruitless sacrifices that this man relates. I loved my Brother. Much respect to this man for stating the futility of war. ✌️

Thank you for your service !

I feel like this guy is telling the truth 100% I was in Vietnam and I’ve been there and I’ve done that I know how he feels . 101st Airborne

Thank you

that is my era and I can sure understand this man- - - the people were hell to us veterans

This seems like another person who needs to be properly vetted. I am calling B.S. and stolen valor on this clown.

She grew up in the war and then married the war!

Freedom has a price. Without men like Tom Baker, we wouldn't have Freedom. 🪖

Thank you sir ❤

My utmost respect and appreciation, Mr. Baker. I’m a little younger than you, so I missed the Vietnam war. But I barely missed it. Can’t thank you enough. So sorry you had to experience it, and have to carry the weight of it all still. God bless you and the many like you.

Thank you for giving this vet an opportunity to begin to relate his military experience. If he wishes to do so, you should do a follow-up. In the meantime, thank you Mr. Baker from a fellow survivor: 2nd Bn, 26th Mar Rgt, 5th Mar Div (1st Mar Div reinforced), Viet Nam War, class of 1969.

Would be good to do a longer interview with this gentleman for us to hear his story
