- "Welcome Home" is a new series about the Vietnam War.
This video contains interviews with Vietnam Veteran Vance Gammons and a rare audio tape with compelling recordings of combat missions.
Vance Gammons was the Company Commander of the 335th Assault Helicopter Company in an era like no other: the Vietnam War. At the time, none of the Cowboys--as they were called then and today knew what would become of their lives if they were lucky enough to survive their time in the country.
The original "Cowboys" of A Company, 82nd Aviation Battalion arrived in South Vietnam on 1 May 1965. In September of 1966, A/82nd was redesignated the 335th Aviation Company (Airmobile Light,) and eventually the 335th Assault Helicopter Company. The first A/82nd patches are extremely rare, but I'm obtaining a drawing of the original design. The Cowboys spent over 30 months in direct combat support of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, an association that culminated in the battles around Dak To from June to December of 1967. During that time period, the Cowboys were awarded the PUC, The MUC w/ 1 OLC, and three RVN Gallantry Crosses w/Palm.

Thank you for your service
WELCOME HOME, THANK YOU FOY UR SERVICE
Welcome home belatedly to all the brave Vietnam veterans WHOOAH
War is delightful for those who have no experience of it. We know our cost as a nation. Make no mistake we children of our hippie liberal parents love our Vietnam vets. We were disgusted and ashamed of our drugged up hippies parents. I fly our American flag and our P.O.W flag every day and will till I die. We will never forget our warriors then and now. Our kids and grandchildren also respect and remember our warriors. We can never let our nation forget our warriors ever again.
Good to hear.
Thank you for saying what needed to be said. 100% agreed
Thank you
I served in The Louisiana Army National Guard Aviation units 199th and 812th/813th Air Ambulance UH-1H Huey Helicopter units. All the pilots were Vietnam Era Pilots during the 80's. I have greatest respect for allbof them. I experienced nap of the earth lowlevel flying. It was superb as these aviators flew low level to avoid enemy fire during battle. I worked in flight operations as a coordinator Mos 15p/ 93p. Fort Rucker was where i went for training. The motto is Above The Best! Best helicopter pilots made! Salute, respect, and honours go to all who wear the wings of an Army Aviator. I lster went full time Army in March 2nd 1988. Ooorah! Air Cavalry!
Wish I had invested in Bell helicopters back then.
God Bless all of those poor Heroes.
Great doc Mr Dronescapes. Very interesting and informative as well. Great moment when the helicopter pilot was telling the interviewer that he should interview his brother for another perspective on the war and was getting emotional thinking about it. Very moving. Thank you for a great look back in time.
I know Albrect ---- returning home he became a Secret Service Agent in my region. He was just as admirable in that role as he was in military service.

I wear my Vietnam hat whenever I can to honor the guys that didn't come back and to meet my fellow veterans of that conflict. And when we were there, all we heard all day was choppers flying overhead. When I got to the states and out of the Army, I bought civilian clothes right away and wore them the rest of the time as I travelled home. Never had a problem.
I wish the date of the interview was listed. Never on youtube. Uggh
The voice at 14:00 sounds like Elvis. Actually, if you listen for the next several minutes, you would swear it's Elvis.
That's my husband in the cover photo, running toward the Huey!!
Not to shill but Audible has like 30+ Audiobooks and memoirs from Vietnam helicopter pilots that are included in the membership. Sometimes there's a promo for like 8 bucks a month for a few months. A lot of pretty good ones. For anyone interested in the subject
Great documentry an footage.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎖🎖🎖🎖
Glad you enjoyed it!
God bless US.
My Dad severed in the full war of Korea and the full war of Vietnam My brother was born in Fort Lewis I was support to be born in the fort back in 1955-1957 the cia was doing experience on enlisted men wifes on the west coast my Mom got wise to it and took me out of the program at the 8th month of her pregnancy and had me born at St. Joseph's in Tacoma Washington. It was the mine control drug they were feeding my mother. It was the extinction of What Hitler was doing back in the 1940's while she was pregnant with me. My older bother never got any of the treatment. only me.
Ya! P.S. they made my dad a 33 degree night of what ever. they try to do me after i was grow up I Said HELL NO.
The commentator must have been a used car salesperson when the Army hired him. Just my point of view as a helicopter pilot in the 1st Cav 11,1967 to 11,1968. A/227, Chickenman rules.
May I ask what you mean by that?
