The 9 th Division took heavy loses in the delta. Excellent interview Chuck. Thanks Larry 👍
Thank you sir. I have quite a few 9th Infantry Division stories. Chuck has been sitting idle for too long. Glad to be able to share tonight.
I was in Dong Ram in 68 and I know the 9th infantry had it rough and we had motor attacks almost every night and snipers every day and the heat was unreal but I can't find any humor in it even now!
@@raymondpaterson5719 I was there all of 68 also ! You are exactly right about mortar attacks almost every night etc. Bless you my fellow 9th infantry brother!
Larry it really hit me when he said “I can’t go to Canada and come back here again it’s my country so I’m going” I really felt him on that one.
Approximately 25% of Vietnam veterans were drafted. Thanks to all the men and women who served.
@@sergioparisi9527including my Uncle Allen he was in the 101st ABN in 1971. He was in Quang Tri Province he went through heavy heavy combat. I never got a chance to really know him because unfortunately he lulled himself in the year 2000 from his PTSD from being over there. I lost two cousins who were in the Marines over there too.
You are a national treasure Larry. Keep up the great work you are doing for GOD;and Americans
Always a pleasure hearing from you Alvin. Thank you for your very kind words. It's a fight, but it's worth the effort!!
👍👍
I have seen dozens of videos made by Voices of History and this one is by far the most honest I have seen… Listen Y’all… Not everyone in Vietnam is Homeless, Wounded or Mentally Ill…. The Majority of actual ‘Grunts’… never fired their weapons at an actual target in the Bush… However,There were viscous heroic battles in an enclosed jungle environment for 7 years by select units of the Army and Marine Corps… These were the ‘let’s bang the ‘bushes’ and see what crawls out… and that my friends is ‘Combat’ in Vietnam… Most men on these Videos have a ‘glory story’ or such… Not this guy… he was a little older than my brothers in Lima Co 3rd Bn 7th Marines… But he had a PLAN….. and stuck to it. In College when he went in and right back to College when he got out. I was also a combat MOS 0311 … and still here to talk about it… Love this series Y’all
LIMA-2-BRAVO 3/7 OUT
Semper Fi. 🙏❤️🇺🇸
It is wonderful getting to know Mr. Coffman through this interview. Great personality and perspective on life.
Pure Americana! Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
We share same last name sir thank you for everything God bless you 👍🇺🇸
I have to imagine when Sgt Coffman put on that uniform the first time it must have been a daunting experience knowing all that came with wearing it. Thank you to all those who choose to wear the uniform and for carrying out the responsibilities that come with it, and thank you Sgt Coffman in remaining with this country and carrying out your duty. God bless you all.
God Bless these forgotten heroes who served honorably!
Thank you JOSEPH.
Thank you for your service & sacrifice. Welcome home :
👍 much respect and gratitude!
Thank you, sirs. We appreciate your sacrifice.
16:52 . Yes , it is too bad not all Americans felt like Chuck . Those that fled , should never have been allowed back into our country . Glad you made it brother and are still kicking . Stay strong brother , there are less of us by the day !! doc 25th lll Corp .
My brother has always been a conscientious objector. He won’t kill people! He served two years civil service. Just because some recognized that our government was lying doesn’t make them less. Those that served were duped. They had their lives upended. We respect them for doing what was required but we can also respect those who refused on moral grounds.
@@jamespriddy8275 Bullshit !! Those same turn coats would have done exactly the same for Korea or WW ll . My best friend was a C.O. who was drafted and went to Nam and did his DUTY . He served in the BRO as a RTO , got a heart and never carried a weapon . I was a medic and knew some C.O's medic's in Vietnam , they wouldn't carry a weapon but did their duty . Moral grounds ass . Immoral was running away and letting others die in your place because you are gutless .Take your BS elsewhere and sell it to the leftist , those traitors have become and are a big part of what is destroying America today . Zero respect pussies that didn't serve and let others die because they were too scared . Fuck them , one and all !! doc 68-71
for a vet he has a pretty good attitude about life in general
This man has a very healthy mind ,strong constitution.
Great video! Thank you.
Yes, Marshall. Thank you.
Thank you Chuck & Larry...thank you both for sharing this important testimony with us Americans.
God bless America 🇺🇸
Thank you
Chuck, we appreciate what you did over there. The greatest tragedy of war is when men have to trade the innocense of youth for the agendas of politicians.
I was a helicopter door gunner . Out of Dong Tam with the 9th aviation division of the 9th infantry division.67-68. Jayhawks on the nose of our choppers. May God bless you my 9th infantry brother.!
meant to say 9th aviation battalion
Mike, I will be in Orlando Florida the first of July. If you're near there please let me know. I would be interested in interviewing you. Thank you.
@@VoicesofHistory You may interview me if you would like sometime . I have a LOT of pictures of Dong Tam , surrounding area. us landing on boats etc. I should get them preserved on a disc or thumb drive. I live in Casa Grande, AZ. I am getting prostate cancer treatments until well into July (agent orange suspected) .
God bless you Charles thank you for your service and sacrifice. Thank Larry,great interview. I don't know how many I've seen now,quite a few,I'll watch them all at some point.😊
Wonderful interview! Chuk might have knew my dad ..... ❤god bless you
Great interview!
Thank you for sharing these very iconic stories. One night in a movie theatre I had a bad flashback during the movie of The Deer Hunter. And had to get up and go to the bar. But now I seem better. And I don’t know why it was so difficult, I wasn’t in extremely bad situations during my tours that I knew of or thought so anyway.
Ronnie, I will be in Orlando Florida the first of July. If you're near there please let me know. I would be interested in interviewing you. Thank you.
Manly P. Hall-the secret destiny of America is a great audiobook here on youtube. I think vets can gain great understanding from this.
Manly p hall was luciferian(aka satanist)
Welcome home, thank you all so much for your service.👊🏻🇺🇸
Great interview as usual!
He is a matter of fact kinda man great commentary and video.
Chuck.......awesome interview. I was 9th infantry , dong tam 1967-a little of 68. I was commo for 1st of 84th artillery . I was assigned to 9th div my third day in army at ft dix and sent to ft riley for all training, went over by ship with 3rd brigade, landed at Vung Tau and went to Bearcat for awhile and then to Dong Tam, I have agent orange leukemia but hanging in there. I also went back to college and did well. If interested you can read my book "Draftee" (Amazon)telling the whole experience. Your tone and feelings about the whole Nam deal is very similar to mine. Peace my brother and be safe..... John Wilson , Cicero, NY (Syracuse)
God Bless you John!!
Thank you for your service, God has Blessed You.
Thank you kindly
This Vietnam vet salutes you.
Cool man
I was a crew chief on F-4s and I know we did give most of the support to the infantry.
It shouldn’t be like what is portrayed. Homeless,ptsd,doing badly. It was a part of life. Some grew up and had to serve in a war zone,some never had to serve in a war zone. Majority did their job,served,got out,got jobs,got married ,had families,retired,grew old. Life. Serving Vietnam,a short time in life that you past through. Maybe not the best part,but done,and the significant thing you did do in life that sets you aside..it is a very small percentage that served and had that experience.
I was in the Mekong Delta September 66 - September 67.
With the 52nd Signal B, at Mytho.
Unit was called Voice of the Delta.
I will be in Orlando Florida the first of July. If you're near there please let me know. I would be interested in interviewing you. Thank you.
I was there just after. Iron triangle, parrot’s beak, angel’s wing, QL-4, My Tho, Tay Nihn, Tan An, and Cambodia too -- 571st Engr, 3rd Bge, 9th Inf 69-70..
I always wondered why the mission in the Mekong Delta was not assigned to the Marine Corps. Seems like a natural fit for the Marines given the waterborne aspect. I guess Westmoreland was partial to the Army.
Very good comment, I have pondered that as well as they were assigned landing crafts!!
Did anyone ever know an Edward Allan Augustine from Chicago, recently died?! Musician too, by the name of Billy Strum.
I was a Vietnam veteran before it became popular.
Iron Triangle, 1969

I'm a Vietnam veteran
