This is my grandfather…someone I have been lucky enough to look up to my entire life. I will cherish this video forever, as he is no longer with us to share his stories from his time serving, his world travels, or just how much he loved my gramy. He proudly and wholeheartedly served his country and always stood up for what he believed in. He would tell our family he never felt like a hero, as the medic team who took care of the wounded should get the credit…but his quick thinking, dedication, and drive saved countless lives. He even received a Purple Heart after being shot during one of his rescues. Thank you for posting this and thank you everyone for your kind words. He was a friend to all, and is missed every day.

Dust Off pilots are something else, great Story and a great men. Thank you for your service Sir and thank you for saving soldiers lifes! Not Just the medics and crew chiefs are Heroes, they couldnt do anything without the Pilot!
Dust off stories whether medics or pilots hold great fascination for me. It exemplifies the selfless heart of a person and that to me is true honor. Incredible story from a very extraordinary man. Thank you for your thoughts and your service and for a job well done. And continued thanks Larry for your extraordinary vision in bringing us the stories of those who hold our flag close to theirs hearts as they served their country.

Larry Capetto, I don't vote the way you do, but I appreciate these videos. No one else is doing veteran videos the way you do. It is real, it is personal, and it is highly respectful of the role of our each of our veterans, individually, and as a whole. You elevate the combat experience of each veteran to the level the country must see and must appreciate. Kudos!

Several parts of David’s experience were similar to my two years as an Army helicopter pilot; being prone to air sickness, the smells in Vietnam , coming back to the US and leading a productive and rich life. Thanks David for your candor and willingness to share your experiences.

I really appreciate this guy. Very positive, a solid story of solid service and doing his job as a devoted soldier. He presented his years of service without drama or embellishment but still portrayed the intensity of defining moments. As the foreman of a construction crew, having guys like him is not common. He knew his job well, made sound decisions understanding the need, and followed through with each mission with purpose of excellence. The story of handling the dogs was a great illustration of visualizing the best way to get it done with the least exposure to danger. THANK YOU and GOOD JOB!
I served with the 1st Infantry in ‘69 and 1st Cavalry in ‘70. I traveled all over III Corps by Jeep and Helicopter and have been to all the places Mr. Talbot mentioned. Save for the occasional sniping or ambush I was very lucky. I have to chuckle at his description of popping smoke and NOT identifying it, but let the incoming chopper do so, as that is exactly what I did. The finest men I’ve ever known served. I once read exactly what Mr. Talbot is describing: WWII was the last great romantic war. Clearly defined enemy, united world.

I am the son of an Army Combat Engineer and was born in the southwest part of France , about 35 40 klicks , Northeast of Bordeaux in 1960 , and always admired the military I joined the Air Force at 17 in 1978 .
First off . Well brother , I hope you are still kicking . If I did my math right , you'd be about 79-80 today . Welcome home . I was in lll Corp also . I was a Medic at Tay Ninh in a smallish Evac Unit , and we flew in a dust off capacity from time to time . After I left TN I joined the 25th as a Platoon medic and later as a Blue . Not sure about 66-67 . But that might have been one of the Thunder FSB by Quan Loi . Worked out of Quan Loi , Bu Dop , Song Be , Pace , Mace , Bu Prang , Katum , An Loc etc etc . CRB would be a nice place to recover . Like a lot of us , I flew into CRB . Hope you had a good VNVD this past Wednesday. ATB ..
Not a US citizen but stories of this ilk are very interesting. What so often stands out is the humility of the veterans, men often downplaying their own contribution and courage. What also is apparent is the bond which formed between all serving members, this is the case for all nationalities, truly a Band of Brothers, no matter the cause.
Hi Larry. As a Christian and Army veteran, barely missing Vietnam, I want to personally thank you for your thoughtful, respectful, and intriguing interviews of each of these amazing veterans. I've watched almost every single episode you have made. It's so very important that you bring and preserve these amazing stories and sacrifices to all, especially younger generations who basically have no knowledge of what transpired in the Vietnam conflict. I watched the coverage on TV every single evening on the 6 pm news. It was visceral and soul impacting to watch those veterans and the incredible sacrifices they made. Two questions though, what is the name of the absolutely beautiful music played at the beginning of each episode ? Is it, by chance, the theme from " Brothers in Arms " ? Secondly, how can one give to support your work ?Thank you so very much Larry, and God bless you !! ✝️👍❤️🇺🇲⁸

I was stationed in CuChi, this man's story is Very accurate. Truth is there was almost no drug use in 66 to 68. Now beer, soda and cigarettes were all 10 MPC. There was only A/C in the Officers Hotches. We all had Michelin

My first introduction to Huey pilots in Vietnam was the book "Chickenhawk". It was WILD over there and a lot of corruption. One unit got ALL the flak vests because they could wheel and deal, another had NONE. Using chopper blades to cut down saplings to get out of an LZ in an overloaded Huey. Looking fwd to this interview!
Different cat; no sobbing or blubbering, no excuses, just pride in a job well done. Obviously, he was right about people not focusing on the successful veterans because they show no weakness and went on to be great citizens. "Here to us and those like us, damn few left." (Gardens of Stone, 1987)
Good interview. Thank you Mr. Talbot and also Larry for doing what you do. I do wish the camera wasn’t so close to the veteran. To me it’s uncomfortably close.
As I've told others I never intended for anybody to watch these interviews. I interviewed these Veterans for documentaries. There was a plan and a purpose for the close-up shots.
@@VoicesofHistory I wasn’t aware of that Larry. The fact that you go through the effort to share these with us when they were intended for other projects makes me appreciate these even more. Thank you again!
What a story one of my friends I met in the service was an E4 and retired as 05 or LT Colonel He is so right the service can open so many doors and the mind as well We don't go into harms way just for those who agree but for everyone else so they have the right to disagree as well. What an amazing story Thanks for letting us into your life and experience and thanks for posting this as well
That was so interesting to hear from someone who flew the helicopter. You must choose your subjects carefully because most of these men are so smart and well spoken in relaying their experiences. The questions were good, too, and helped give a different perspective, and I think helped the men in telling their story. I like the fact that the video is close up to their faces. It’s more personal and makes it seem like more of a conversation.
I graduated from the University of Miami in 1966. I joined the Army under duress from the draft board two weeks after graduation. I went to OCS then flight school. I am only writing this because I probably saw you around campus. I graduated but only by the skin of my teeth. 😂
Incredible people. I've watched a great many of your videos and have developed a curiosity as to how you became so interested. I mean you have countless years committed to this over your life. Perhaps you have explained it before and I simply missed it.
I really enjoy this channel/ a suggestion maybe change interviewers now and than / (seems to struggle with what questions to ask & how to ask them) i am sure it’s a tough/ thx
My wife lived with her sister while I served in Vietnam in 1968/1969. Her sister was married to a slick pilot while he was also deployed. Wendell LaFevers crashed his Huey into a bridge and broke his femur when his collective malfunctioned and failed to accelerate enough to clear that bridge. He was taken off flight status and retrained into a supply officer and was deployed to Thailand while I was in Vietnam. He retired to his home in Oklahoma where he lives out in the country and works on his old cars. He is the family's hero. May God continue to bless you both.
