What a man. What a hero. Puts ‘having a bad day’ into perspective.
AMEN KENNY!!!
Give thanks and praises for your service to our beloved country America. Awooha!
Thank you Larry another great story you captured with your camera. Thank you Brandon Glidden making it possible to have Bill Wedekind's story be told. U.S.M.C. Bill Wedekind thank you for your story what you went through the 80 days you were in Vietnam and about your injuries you went through. You truly are a remarkable man. Considering everything you went through you have a great sense of humor. When you said self-pity can kill you, learn to deal with it and keep going forward. So true. Concentrate on your abilities not your disabilities. Bill you truly a inspirational and a wonderful person. So grateful I can call you my friend and enjoy our talks we have had for so many years. Everyone needs to hear your story. Also people need to see how you make such beautiful pieces with a piece of clay. U.S.M.C. Bill Wedekind thank you for your services. Freedom is not Free and people need to realize this, especially what is going on in the world today. That is why these stories need to be told. Our Veterans have sacrificed and paid the price for Our Freedom. God Bless you Larry and Brandon Glidden and U.S.M.C Bill Wedekind many Blessings to you. You will Never Be Forgotten. You tried your best and wouldn't quit. I salute you. Semper Fi.🇺🇸❤️🙏
Thank you Teri. I hope you are able to meet Bill in person and thank him for his service. He is the most inspiring man I have ever met. I am happy him and I have had time to work in the schools together. My film, "Me and Bill," is such an inspiration also. We make a great team. I miss working with him. Semper Fi!!!
"Why me?...Why not?" ; "Don't think about bad stuff for too long, feel self-pity will drag you into addictions", the best mindset from this hero...I admire him! In top, he is super funny, very sharp ideology... God Bless him and his love ones. 🙏
Thank you, Mr. Wedekind, for your service and perspective. Very clear thinking. Inspirational.
This is the one man. Oh golly this guy is such a hero. Not just an American Hero but one of the storied men we all want to be. Wow
Another incredible, extraordinary story! What an inspiration. I’m a disabled man and sometimes I wonder “how can I do this” but after watching this story I realize that success or failure is mine and mine alone. “How can I do this…just go out a do it and do my best. Bravo, Larry and God Bless you Bill.

Great Attitude, thanks, Bill W.
I went into the service as a Dutch Citizen and went to Korea near the DMZ for 14mo, this is a hardship tour and supposed to stay in the US before another hardship tour. I went to multi-engine medium transport school(Caribou) and they sent me to Vietnam right after school, some 8 weeks. What happened to my 18months Stateside. I tried to fight it, but I had to go until my ETS
Impressive life story of this brave and strong man. Wise. Warrior during the war while keeping fighting spirit, strength and bravery during his recovery and rehabilitation process. And everything he undertoke thereafter while keeping his focus on the future, opportunities in his life. Focus on what can be done and what is possible instead of the opposite. Accepting what happened while putting his fate into perspective. Capable to reflect on the past with a bit of humor and irony. Very brave, wise and strong man. Inspiring example for us all.
Prior to going to Vietnam, in and out of the Da Nang TAO, as an US ARMY MP pulling duty at the Military’s Madigan General Hospital (MGH), I had the unfortunate opportunity to meet with unbelievable numbers of seriously wounded Vietnam Veterans. Some like Bill, here. So, when I received my orders for Vietnam, this experience had an enormous impact as to what could happen to me, also. Unlike the training in Basic Training and AIT, our Drill Instructor would put us in situations were we either be wounded or killed for making mistakes in the field. My preferred choice was KIA…I escaped serious injuries, unlike others, but still struggle with the affects on our veterans. Welcome all Veterans and let’s not forget their sacrifices for their fellow ‘Buddies’. Thanks for sharing, Bill.

Remarkable man. He will be here in town to speak in July.
This American Patriot was spot on about the government. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
This man is someone all of our children need to hear from and idolize. Rather than some of the people they do now. This man would show them what the meaning of being a man is.

Thank you for telling us your story.
Incredible much lone!
Thanks Chad. Bill is the best!!!
Comes from a long line of Marines. A long line of service.
The services never offered a two-year enlistment. What you were doing was volunteering for the draft, which took a load off the guys who didn't want to go. But, the Army and Marines were not going to spend a lot of time and money on a recruit who was only going to be available for 24-months. So yeah, boot camp/basic training, then to infantry training, then to the Republic of Vietnam as a replacement. And yes, the Marines did rely on the draft despite what they tell you. When I showed up at the induction center we were counted down by fives with every 5th head leaving with a Gunny recruiter and bound for Parris Island. I was a number 4.
