Thanks I enjoy it... I'm a combat wounded Vietnam Veteran. One of the important facts that you didn't mention were the veteran suicides as a result of the war in Vietnam. The stats on suicide because of the war in Vietnam can never be actually counted. To my way of thinking more died from suicide than were killed in Vietnam.
Hi Paul. I posted a reply above that appears as a stand alone comment (still learning social media). You are absolutely right about the high rate of suicide among Vietnam veterans. During my tours at the museum, I usually point out the correlation between PTSD and veteran suicide. Very much under-reported and under-appreciated. We support a great non-profit program called Veterans Talking to Veterans from Mentor-Agility focused on connecting veterans with other veterans to get around mistrust of organizations and reduce veteran suicide, including suicide among Vietnam veterans. We are hosting at the museum May 25, 2024 a second annual Veterans Talking to Veterans program.
Thanks Dan, from an old gunship driver, RVN 67-68.

Amen Paul! I often make that point during my tours but did not for it into the video. You are absolutely right.
