Calvin [Rick] Ringle 67-68 TET offensive. it was HELL.
My Dad whose1966 in Vietnam war, my age whose 1,5 years old. I’m a VFW Lifemember Ohio.
I don’t know if I’ve posted this before, but A few years ago I located my friend Gilbert Martinez with whom I served in a company of the 716th military police in Cholon, VN. We lost touch after returning home. But when I relocated him, he was suffering from Agent Orange exposure. He had heart issues and was also getting kidney dialysis treatments regularly. We went out to lunch and talked about her experiences together. A few short weeks later got notice that my friend Gilbert died. Since that time I have developed prostate cancer, also a attributed by the VA to agent Orange. 45 radiation treatments, and two years of androgen deprivation therapy, And I am doing OK. I’m still getting checked for recurrence every six months. We’re all getting too old for it to matter much now but if you’re one of the younger Vietnam veterans, get yourself checked out every year.
The name on my post is a typo. My name is Carl Virden.
Semper Fi Brothers, I found Army Signal Corps film of what we were fighting in the jungles of Vietnam. It’s a very short video clip. It’s on Youtube… It’s called “Task Force Black-A Disastrous Mistake” it’s uploaded by “Dark Docs”… If you go to the 7:03 mark…It will say “Aftermath” then for about 7 seconds you will see on the film…The Walking Dead Guy “Mr Happy Birthday” at the top right side walking downwards, The Long Neck Alien creature peering around a tree in the middle of the screen…faintly below him is the “Jackyl” with his little creatures coming out from under him. To the left of the Long Neck creatutre is “Puff&Stuff” he turns his head to look at the camera…all the way to the left you will see a REAL Viet Cong gorilla ! with a couple of G.I.’s put in “Time Out”…I myself am retired Boston Fire Lieutenant. These creatures as well as Dragons are manifesting here in the states and for many years. The Police murder witnesses if they are called…there are also Giant Crabs that come ashore in Boston as well as giant Octopus…I have logged all these creatures and more on my Incident Reports as a Lieutenant…The authorities have done nothing…We are not in charge…I was an 0844 USMC, 3rd Battalion Paris Island…Be safe and pass the word !…Btw all these creatures melt when you kill them…of which I did so as a boy in Raynham, MA and for you Airmen…Pigs are Snipers and take out B-52 Bombers…and yes those Pigs are here and I have reported them…WTF

Very happy that you made it home I was a kid growing up in that Era though none of my relatives didn’t service but to see so many in our neighborhood brothers uncles fathers didn’t to see come back home whenever a military came every one would stop what they were doing to see the service men’s with the flag purple heart walking in the yard to the door where we could hear the screaming and grief I was truly hurt for the families 😢 why I cares for the veterans and the men who serving today and women all have my love
Vanessa, thank you. I feel a lot of love for all of our men and women in uniform and for caring people like you.

Welcome Home, brother.
My brother was in vietnam but would never talk about it. Drafted at 24 then out at 26 to finish up his degree at Indiana University, Now with a great job and it’s a full time job.
Hey looking for some folks from the 483 for my dad. He was E-5 Lacy Kilby and was a 76P40 supply clerk. He has just shown me his discharge papers and this is the first time he has ever told me anything about his time in Vietnam. I’ve been trying to get him to say something for years. All of a sudden he wants to try and connect with some old buddies.
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT MANY YEARS AGO
Yep, it was a long time ago but I bet you haven’t forgot about it.
I took the pain, played the game and I’m still kicking after all these years.

I am just glad I made it back.
Your right about that, a lot of the guys didn’t. I guess all of us that did can be thankful.
Hello fellow veterans. Hope to see a lot of you on here.
Only to types of weather over there. Hot and Dry or Hot and Wet. Sometimes it rained day and night for weeks at a time. When we were out in the field your mess kit would fill up with water before you could take 2 or 3 bites.
GOOD IDEA. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM ALL THE VIETNAM VETERANS. LEAVE US YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS MATTER, I WAS OVER THEER MYSELF. I’VE NEVER HAD MUCH TO SAY ABOUT IT.
