Charlie and I were in Vietnam at the same time. He was down south in the Delta and I was up north near the DMZ. I hope you enjoy this interview. We haven’t finished augmenting it yet and we may have a few more tweaks, but it’s to the point I wanted to share it. I hope you enjoy it. NEVER FORGET! Once we complete the augmentation, this image along with our other images go in schools, libraries, and museums. We don't rewrite history, we tell it the way it was!

This is more of stagecraft than anything. The inclusion of his hands in the shot. There were moments that his thumbs did the windmills and they distracted my view from his face. Americans are not good at talking with their hands. There are some moments that his hands should have been in full view, but they were only in as half to three quarters of the hands. My suggestion is to move the view to include the full hands when he is making important points and move in when he is just generally speaking not to include his hands in view. I will say that it is more art than anything.

His pace of speech is very good and well spaced. His sight is also very well placed as he converses about the issues of actions in real life situations on the battlefield.

Just to mention, there were two groups that worked hard at "keeping it real", the GIs United against the War in Viet Nam and the Officers United against the War in Viet Nam. I, personally, have not kept up with them since the end of the UN Police Action in Viet Nam (1975).

Keep up the good work. It is very important that there are as many views available of situations in which lives are at stake.

My time was 67-68 in Long Binh. I salute the Captain for leading from the front as a new Lieutenant Not an easy thing to do.

Welcome Home Brother

We were all there about the same time. I did not notice his hands at all, I just listened to what he hard to say. The two groups you mentioned were not the only vets That it kept it real. All the brothers and sisters are doing just that every day.

As always, Welcome home Brother.

Just a clarification. The two groups I referred to were two groups of people within the services working with the issues. There have been many more. (Within the services as opposed to "outside groups" and vets.)

Regardless, it behooves us all who have been in the services to remember that we all were CITIZEN-soldiers, not just soldiers.

There is still the idea that the US Military is a mercenary group to be used as desired by those who are placed in "authority". History does repeat itself. It is not a mercenary group.
