REWIND: Unforgettable Story of a Local Vietnam Veteran – September 2017
Another true American hero thank you sir!
Jon Hovde, RIP and Thank you for your service.<(-_-)
My Grandfather, Donald Smith, was a Crookston, Mn police officer during that time. They probably knew each other. He also was a WW2 Army veteran and was involved with a lot of local veteran organizations. What a small world.
He Casually, just Truly demonstrated what a Hero is. And an American hotrod American graffiti Guy.
Thank You
I was a grunt in Vietnam 1971. You gave a lot.
Yr mind is a 68 Charger ! Super Powerful
God bless You Sir!
What a decent good man. What a hero.
No words can thank you and thousands like you for the sacrifices and the inspirations.
God Bless You….RIP
Thank you for your service in VIETNAM
Drafted, screw that hero's come in many ways! Costed a million dollars healthcare V.A. apparently worth every cent, fast car's!
My grandpops was a Vietnam vet. 🙏
These guys actually had a backbone. They fought for what they thought was the right thing to do for the US. For all of us. Whatever your opinions on the Vietnam War. Believe. These guys were heroes. And here we are with these lying SPINELESS, COWARDS, in Washington that can't even. Speak the truth. Soo disrespectful to the men and women that put their lives on the line for the U.S.
They ought to be ashamed of themselves. But the sad thing is, they aren't, because they're freaking scum.
This guy is a living hero
this story is damn miracle

What a wonderful interview. Thank you for sharing. I’m a firm believer, “when one door closes, another one opens.”
I have so much respect for this soldier. Could I be that brave.
Wow Neil. It must felt great to be in this warrior's presence. What a honor. Can you do more stories like this. It really honors our great veterans.
