Vietnam War - Into A Hot LZ

[JABrooksC321]

TescoVee 17 to answer your ?. Because we didn;t have camcorders or cell phones or digital cameras back then. Also we had little or no time to take photos or home movies! The Hollywood stuff was as close as you can get, without being there. I put this together to show what it was like.

[TescoVee]

why is there hollywood footage mixed in with authentic?

I WAS INVOLVED IN "ROLLING THUNDER" AS A DOOR GUNNER ON A 1ST AIR CAV CH47C. I WAS HOPING IT WAS FROM THAT OPERATION. THANKS FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE.

IS THIS IN THE PARROTS BEAK?

[JABrooksC321]

@b9k9  It is all over Vietnam.

I have always wanted to see the war through my father's eyes. He was a door gunner in a Huey and won't talk about it, respectfully. I have always conisdered him my biggest hero, and well, here's the proof. Thank you very much for sharing.

Good collection of photos, even though I think there's some from the movie "We Were Soldiers" included. Unless I'm mistaken, at 1:49, there's a photo of aircraft from the 1st Cav's, 227th AHB (my unit). The insignia on the nose of the aircraft looks like the 227th's. A silver bird with it's wings raised over it's head.

Thanks for your comments ninjax105.

We must all support todays military,

even if we don't support the war.

Thanks to all the Vets, we've learned what we can't experience. We're alive today because of your scarifices. I salute all of you. LCP Pat C. M203

WOW! Nothing I'd like to experience... To all Vietnam Vets, thanks for your service and WELCOME HOME!

Excellent video! Gotta love seeing those Huey's in flight.

[POZ48]

I can relate.

great video and music. we never landed in any hot LZ like in the video most of the time we hiked off L.Z.Center .the few times that we did take the choppers is when we were going a long distance.
