I am a retired Marine and knew Jack through our 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines Association. This interview was very well done and I am proud to have known Jack and all the Marines / Navy corpsmen from 2/4 I met in Vietnam and subsequently over the years. Jack died of cancer some years ago and he is truly missed.
Brooks I interviewed Jack over 15 years ago. Please tell me more of his passing. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
It's a miracle he came out of Dai Do physically unscathed. God Bless you Jack. RIP~Semper Fidelis
As a member of this soldier’s generation, Welcome Home. From a mom of a soldier. A daughter of a father who served in Nam. The wife of a marine who served in Nam. Welcome Home.
YEAH DEBORAH!!! Thank you for watching some of my stories.
I honor you for that comment.
Deborah thank you for giving so much.
When brave Marines cry ...I cry with them.. Thank you for your service Jack.
Count me in too...
Vietnam left battle scars on the heart and soul of our brave Vets. Jack we hurt with you and appreciate your sacrifice. Much respect. Welcome Home😘🇺🇸 Larry, thank you for giving us an opportunity to hear from our long forgotten Vietnam Vets.
Blessings Shelia!!!
Thank you for all you do Larry .❤ Jack thank for your service & sacrifice sir . ❤
Glad you made it home Jack, hope you are well.
So many men survived with the scars of battle, mentally and physically. We owe them thanks and respect. For the soldiers that fought and the ones in a support position. They were all trained to fight but the ones that fought were well supported by the people in the rear. Devil Dogs are the real McCoy and once a Marine always a Marine. Thank you for the sacrifice you made for our country Jack.
Thank you Kirby!!
Thank you Jack, welcome home 🙏
Wow. The emotions he had spread to me. God bless him. I lost an uncl I was never able to meet in Vietnam. I was named after him and was always told what a hero and brave man he was. I had big footsteps to fill. Thank Vietnam vets for all you did for freedom !!!!!
Thank you Jack for your story and service!!
Wow, heavenly thank you, brave Marine. How very heart wrenching to hear him describe the loss of his buddy George.
My eyes got a little watery and found out how goose bumps feel, when he saluted.
All my condolences to Jack's family as to his passing. He comes across as a good man.
Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. I hope you are subscribed to my channel. Please feel free to share these videos. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
Thank you for your service to our country. A fellow Vietnam Veteran I Corp. Phu Bai/Hue/Khe Sanh 1967-1969
It was really tough seeing Jack Cry,especially when he relayed the story of his buddy George Swett dying.
I agree John. Thanks for watching. I invite you to check out my new radio station. Share it with a student and truck driver: Voices of History Radio® (KVOH) larrycappetto.com
Thank You Jack for your service!! You were and are a HERO. It was and is horrific, and a tragedy that so often a minority of the American people that spew negativity get the publicity. You and all Vietnam Vets should have been welcomed home with respect, dignity and appreciation for your courage and service. Thank You again for your service . You are very much appreciated!!
Will you please extend my heartfelt gratitude to this Marine.... And SEMPER FI.......
YES!!!
Thank you for having these heroes salute. I know I'm not the only one saluting back and of course, hold it a moment longer. God bless.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING MY STORIES!!
Well done Larry & thankyou Jack! I was never in the military but, am from the same era as these men. I find it difficult with the comments; whatever superlatives I use apply to them all. It is impressive the level of modesty these blokes all share.
Bill, thank you for watching from Australia. You might be the number one viewer on this channel from overseas. God bless you!!! Hope you are subscribed!!
Jack, I lost 3 friends that were Marines. One in Khe Sanh. All KIA 1968. 1 still MIA, 3 came home.😔

I live in the flight path of the helicopters from my local hospital. I still react to the sounds of one flying over. I pray for whoever they are helping and for the crew. USARV Special Troops as a draftee 1968-1969. I am on disability for exposure to Agent Orange. I would do it again if asked and if able.
God bless you Ronald!!

Thank you so very much Mr Cappetto for all your hard work getting the stories of these brave men for everyone to hear. May God bless you abundantly
Many thanks for your kind words!!!
2bn 4th Marines. Magnificent Bastards. My father was there. Called in F4 strikes... many a memory of him sleeping, and calling out "Ball-bearing; ball-bearing.." with dopings. He may have left Nam. Nam never left him. Best of the best; and the best father i could have asked for. Semper Fi.
We owe this man and many more a debt that we can never pay. When watching these videos you can only imagine what they went through.
Thank you for watching my interview Charmaine. I hope you have found some of the others stories I have recorded over the years. God bless you!!
Larry Another heartfelt testimony from a Humble War Hero of epic proportions. Want to say to Jack. I was a 11 year old kid when you served and sacrificed. I knew you guys were over there though- many of my older Cousins served. Thanks from bottom of my Heart for your service. God Bless your family ❤️🇺🇸
Thank you for your kind words. We are about the same age. An act of remembrance is an act of HONOR!! Thank you for watching and sharing these stories.
Love to hear these stories. Great podcast
Welcome home brave Marine. I stand and cheer for all those veterans who sacrificed for our freedom. I will never forget! Thank you, thank you!
Thank you for sharing Larry thank you Jack. God bless you both.......
Thank you for your kind words Mark and for watching my story. Always good hearing from you. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
Thank you Larry. Your doing a wonderful service to our country at a uncertain time. America needs prayers to stop what is coming. God bless
Thank you Mark. These are the times which try men's souls.
I was a Marine with Mike company 3/1 in 1969 and enjoy all these interviews
Got a kick out of one of the interviews talk a bout Arizona territory always getting in a gun fight there and called it Dodge City- go noi island
A year later in ‘69 we called it the same thing for the same reason
I too was with 2nd Bn 4th Marines in 1966, Golf Company. I joined the Battalion in Chueli, Hill 69, moved to Danang and Dong Ha by April. Spending the rest of my tour in Phubie, Camp J.R. Carroll, Camlo, the “D” and the Rock Pile, until I rotated out in December. So as it goes we walked through much of the same mud. Glad you made it back to the world, just like you I lost friends too.
WELCOME HOME BILL!!! Thank you for your comment and for watching my story. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
I would welcome an opportunity to be interviewed. I was in the USMC from 4/68 to 4/71. MOS 1371, combat engineer. Served in Vietnam 2/1969 to 2/1970, with B Co, 1st Engr Bn. 5th Marines, 7th Marines. An Hoa, Liberty Bridge, Hill 55.

Thank you Mr. Cappetto for providing this voice of history. Thank you Mr. Petowsky for sharing your experience and insight.
I know the screen name. Please help refresh my memory. Thank you for watching and sharing.
Such a phenomenal endeavor Mr. Capetto it must have been to capture the raw emotion and telling of what it means to a person, a soldier in time of battle and war. Jack's profoundly human experience was relayed so respectfully and touching. The salute and the end, and the commentary that preceeded was beautifully executed. Thank you for sharing.

Semper Fi Marine
Salute!
Thank you for watching my story. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
If I remember correctly, I’m pretty sure the 4th Marines were up in the
Cam Lo area. It was bad news up there.
2/4 The Magnificent Bastards
Glad you made it home Jack, hope you are well. One phrase in all these interviews that bugs the hell out of me is "it was an unpopular war". All wars are unpopular.
"We took a hell of a beating and we gave them a hell of a beating". I'm sure that Jack and the other Marines beat the hell out of them.Semper Fi Jack.
Good interview. I really appreciate the way he defined freedom. I want anyone who reads this though to ask yourself; if all these wars we've fought are for freedom then why after each one we are less fee then before we went.
Side note; I'm not some liberal douchebag hippie hipster. I joined the army in the middle of a nasty war that was said to be for our freedom.

Jack, welcome home and thank you so much
I delivered in papers for the New Haven Journal Currier, goin thru grade school . . . in the 60's. My visual either was thru watching Walter Cronkite, watching the evening news, or, reviewing my paper each day -.Front Page, or reviewing casualty count .. . . on the second page. I was too young, to factually realize to this morass, daily negative news . . . 💀🇺🇸
WHEN will this reunion be . . . at the Wall, this month ? I'd like to provide photography. THIS, can become exceedingly memorable . . . it could potentially be your last, being that you're all getting up there . . . in age 💀🇺🇸
You are very brave
Thank you for watching my story. God bless you!! WEBSITE: larrycappetto.com
@@VoicesofHistory God bless you for honoring the memory of veterans, I also loved your film "faces of the homeless", I will share your work wherever I find like minded individuals
How does one get in contact with the 2/4 association? Also, how does one become a host of this kind of program? Thanks Semper Fi!
I have approached my good friend about wether he would be interested in having you interview him. He was a Scout Dog Handler who lost I believe Three K-9 in the Two Tours as a Marine Scout. He has a very interesting Story of His Time in Country to coming home and beginning a new Career here in Michigan. I have wrote him to asked explaining that I will Sponsor the Interview so The Scout and His Partner will also be on Tape so the Part of The Soldier’s Life as a Dog Handler not with one Tour but Two plus losing Two K-9 Partners who Perished in Combat. God Bless Each and every Soldier Especially the Vietnam. My Dad was a Korean War Veteran also Three Brothers who All Three in the Army Two as 182 Airborne with Combat Service and the Sad part is All Three have passed on.
Looking forward to working with you Steve. It will be a great interview and story that must be told on a larger scale.
