True firsthand story told by a Vietnam combat chopper pilot about the incredible courage and grit of the young infantry Soldiers and Marines who fought in the Vietnam War.

Many of these men were draftees. The sons of the “Greatest Generation.” These young men, known as the “Baby Boomers,” responsibly answered their Country’s need. They reported for service willingly and then went bravely into bloody battles against one of the World’s fiercest fighting armies, the Communist Vietcong and North Vietnamese Army.

In the height of the Vietnam War in 1969 these infantry men, Soldiers and Marines all, became affectionally nicknamed “grunts.” They were called grunts because of what they had to endure. Humping a heavy back pack in sweltering heat and brutal humidity through soaking wet Mekong Delta rice paddies in the South and through dense jungle underbrush in the North.

Sadly, these men representing America’s best were treated like crap upon their return home. Often being called “baby killers” and “crazed veterans.”

The politics of the Vietnam War shed vicious untruths on the character of these men. They came home unwelcomed and uncelebrated, and denigrated, and humiliated openly by many Americans. Because they were men of exceptional character and grit, unwavering in their pride of military service, they shook off the doubters and accusers and moved on with their lives. Marrying their girl, getting an education, having kids, raising a family, and working hard to build the Country they so loved. Once the nasty politics of Vietnam took a rest, Americans began to see the wrongs of the past.

These men, the men who went to that war, these men who so faithfully served and gave their Country everything it asked of them have become the best of the baby boomer generation.

After you watch this heartfelt telling of this chopper pilot’s experience in flying these men into combat, you’ll have even more respect for them.

You’ll better understand why when you come across one of them in the grocery store isle wearing his Vietnam Vet hat you might want to walk over to him and extend a hand and thank him for his service. And think about surprising him with a “And welcome back home Sir.” That has a very special meaning to that old grunt!
