That shit actually made me tear up when he said the marine that was pissing himself scared, and didn’t want to go home until his brothers came home… that is what being brave is all about, having the courage to do what needs to be done even when you’re living in fear.
My dad was a Vietnam Marine and when I was young maybe 11 years old I asked my dad what Vietnam was like being a kid I didnt know any better and all he said was "get in the truck" he didnt say a word the whole way my mind was racing wondering what id done wrong and where we were going. When we pulled into the barns and Nobel parking lot I was so confused because my dad wasn't a big book worm he was the tough dont cry or youll get a real reason to cry old school John Wayne type so when he got back in the truck he handed me a book and told me to read it cover to cover and that was my anwser. So thats what I did and then I read it again I read it so many times the pages started to come out the book he handed me was GUNS UP!. He lost his battle to mental health in 2010 due to what we can only guess is not having a way to deal with the demons he came home with. I still have that book thank you for your service and thank you for writing it. Seeing this episode pop up really made my day this was absolutely awesome thank you both.
SIR, THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!
By all accounts Richard “Big Red” Weaver, the 19 year old kid, was an incredible man and an incredible Marine. His former high school created a monument to honour his service and sacrifice, it in part reads “Saved the lives of 50 of his fellow Marines at Truoi River Bridge 31 March 1968”. In one of his final letters home to his surrogate father he said, “Ive never done anything important, this is my chance” Well Richard, I’d say that saving the lives of your friends and comrades is pretty important and I hope wherever you are, that you’re proud of yourself and are at peace. When good men die we all feel the pain. 58 years hasn’t diminished his glory. We remember.
I think this is my favorite person you’ve interviewed. He was able to do a great job telling his story without all the profanity and a dedication to his faith!
Appreciate Shawn and his team capturing the in depth stories of the Viet Nam era vets.
There were no heros in Ruby Ridge. Just a dead mother and kids. Over almost nothing.
I have listened to many stories about Viet Nam This was by far the most engaging conversation. Shawn you are the best. God bless both of you.
My neighbor Elgie Belizeo served ww2 Korea, and Vietnam. He was a pilot. Anyways he was telling me one about Vietnam and how he hated dropping napalm. Absolutely hated. He said “you can hear Charlie screaming over those jet engines. It’s that terrible. It’s something I’ll never forget” which blew my mind! I was like 10 at the time. Fast forward 16 years later and I’m in emergency medical services and a woman ran over her own kids head…we were first on scene and I’ll never ever forget her screams or her face or pain. I’m tearing up typing about it. It’s not necessarily what you see that haunts you it’s what you hear. At least for me. I’ll never get the sounds of my patients or patient family members out of my head.
My uncle was a marine who was commendated in Hue. I enjoy hearing the stories, my uncle didn't talk about it much, now sadly he's gone. Thanks for this interview.
