Norman is an awesome person and a good man.

I was in Bravo Company 5th / 7th from Dec. '68 until October '69 as a rifleman and RTO. We had a rather diverse group of nationalities. This video is very well done, and certainly brings the 'realism' back to my memory.

I am looking for any friends of Capt. Barry Mullineaux who died in Cambodia

[MrAndyBear]

You were too young.

[MrAndyBear]

My older brother went with Chris Keffalos to join the Army together. They were best friends at Bloomfield High School in N.M.. Chris used to come over to our house with my brother Jack. He would always bring this me a giant size Hershey Bar. I was about 7 then. Chris and my brother planned to serve in the same unit, but the Army broke there promise made on enlistment, and split them up after basic training. That intensified my brothers grief over Chris's death. God Bless you Chris.

Im retired it is very up setting to me .That after viewing your program. On shaky Hill. It was clear to me, that when these vietnam soldiers leaving the military. That thy would only show white soldiers coming together.This programing was very prejudice and insensitive towards all ethic nationality. Just showing only white americans coming together. Pleases be sensitive to all who made it and were lost, serving This Great Country.

Evidently Bravo Company was mostly white. It was a documentary about Bravo Company and it did show some black and Hispanic soldiers but they were in the minority. But that is the way it was with Bravo Co in Cambodia in May of 70

Sorry bout that

. But that was the reality.

Should the producers of this film included footage of black soldiers who were not in Bravo Company just to be PC? If none attended the reunion should he have not shown it?

Your objections are absurd.

@Katoolie I was in Bravo Company 5/7 from 12/68 thru 10/69. The company was, in fact, mostly white.... but so was the rest of America. I don't know exact numbers, but I can assure you they weren't all white.. The very 1st soldier I saw KIA in Jan. 69 was black, as were our Medic, and various other company, platoon and squad members, including my Co. Commander at one point. And Hispanics were in our ranks as well.

This video is definitely not a flag-waving, hoo-rah work. You need to see the entire video to appreciate the committment and sacrifices made by the V.N. vets. This is a very well done video.

I was assigned to the 5/7th Cav as a Scout Dog handler off and on from Aug of 1970 to Jan '71. It's a little hard for me to watch because it takes me right back there, to a place I never want to think about. I'm not pleased with the overall patriotic hoo-rah that seems to permeate so many of these efforts, the pictures and the personal stories make the flag waving voice over and swelling music redundant.
