The Battle of Phuoc Yen unfolded over several days as elements of the 101st Airborne closed a cordon around a battalion of the NVA. Medic Ed Barbour (1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division) barked a command to the general who complied because it was the right thing to do.

In honor of National POW / MIA Recognition Day, we share Bob White's story again. Bob was the last American POW released in Vietnam. It was only one month into his second tour of Vietnam that surveillance pilot Bob White (73rd Aviation Company- Aerial Surveillance) was shot down over the Mekong Delta. Along with a Navy observer who was with him on the mission, he was kept in small camps right in the same area. The rations were meager, there was hardly any contact with anyone, and he had injured his back when he ejected. This wasn't going to be easy.

This past weekend, we had the great opportunity to spend time with veterans of 2nd Battalion, 34th Armor Regiment who were commemorating the 20th anniversary of their return from a tour in Iraq. Based out of Fort Riley, Kansas, these armored scouts were deployed to the Diyala province in 2005 where insurgent forces were frequently placing IEDs to disrupt actions in the region. We thank these veterans for allowing us to spend time with them and sharing some of their stories with us!

Don Feeney (1st Special Forces Operational Detachment–Delta) recalls how the challenges of the Grenada operation forced Delta to start gathering their own intel going forward. Information like door materials and building construction could be critical to an operation.

The role for Delta Force in the Grenada operation involved a night assault. They prepped and waited on the runway. And they waited and they waited. Finally, after the State Department was finished messing everything up, they moved out in daylight and their helicopters were badly shot up. Don Feeney's (1st Special Forces Operational Detachment–Delta) craft had the least damage and they landed to assist the team members who were shot down.

GEN Dan Allyn (1st Ranger Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment) and his Ranger company were scheduled for leave but they got the alert that they were headed to Panama. Not long after the firing started, most of Manuel Noriega's soldiers shed their uniforms and blended into the populace. Maybe that guy wasn't worth dying for. While Dan Allyn's unit was searching for holdouts, they found a warehouse filled with new toys that were slated for the families of his henchmen. Why don't we play Robin Hood?

We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Lt. Col. Jay Van Dyne, a veteran of Mike Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines. After being drafted and attending OCS, he spent 1967 leading Marines in combat in I Corps in Vietnam where both VC and NVA forces were fighting heavily. You can see some stories of other veterans of Mike Company on our website, and we look forward to sharing more of his stories soon.

We recently got to visit with the OV-1 Mohawk Association (ov-1mohawkassociation.com) whose veterans have operated and maintained these aircraft for many years since the Vietnam War. Through their stories, we learned about the incredible contributions these crews made to the war effort through their unique surveillance capabilities, which helped map enemy positions and movement deep into enemy territory. We recently published a previous interview we conducted with pilot Bob White, the last American POW freed in Vietnam, and look forward to sharing more of these incredible stories in the future.

It was great to spend a week with the veterans of 3rd Battalion 4th Marines during their latest reunion. The association (thunderingthird.org/) represents veterans of Vietnam through the Global War on Terror, and these Marines represent generations of service and sacrifice. It was an honor to hear and preserve their stories, ensuring that their experiences, lessons, and legacy will continue to inspire future generations. #veteranstories #combatveterans #militaryhistory #marines

The first thing that Brent Gulick (3rd Brigade, 9th Infantry Division) found out when he got to Vietnam is that there wasn't going to be any jump pay. Nobody was jumping from airplanes but there was a Ranger unit that needed a Lieutenant. His first night there was memorable thanks to some NVA women with an American weapon captured during the Korean War.

Recently, we were fortunate to spend another week with our friends at the Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association (vhpa.org) for their annual reunion.
