I’ve collected various YouTube videos about the #VietnamWar for the last few years and pulled the best 40+ to share with you. Some are slide shows with pictures set to the music of the period, other authors used actual video footage. Hours worth of stuff. cherrieswriter.com/2018/07/04/m...

In the #Vietnamwar, 1st Cav Hunter/Killer teams scoured an area for the enemy. 2 LOH's flew low and slow, drawing enemy fire, and marking it with red smoke. Cobra Gunships then saturated the area with lethal fire. 1 LOH is shot down see what happened then? cherrieswriter.com/2016/11/08/t...

During the #vietnamwar, those things we experienced and witnessed as teenagers will stay with us forever - our dreams take us back to that time and place - so real that we sometimes believe we never came home. What is PTSD? cherrieswriter.com/2015/10/30/s...

During the #VietnamWar era, 1964 to 1973, the U.S. military drafted 2.2 million American men out of an eligible pool of 27 million - only 25 percent of them ended up in the combat zone. Learn more about the draft in this article: wp.me/pRiEw-3Km

in 2012, Cherries was named the best audiobook of the year. Listen to the 1st six chapters (25% of the book) for free on my website. Each character has its own voice - the performer did an excellent job. Why not give it a listen: cherrieswriter.com/cherries-aud...

A fellow vet molded and painted this 24"x36" Screaming Eagle patch of the 101st Airborne. He gifted it to me on my 30th birthday and it has hung on my home office wall since. See what Hamburger Hill is like 43 yrs later. cherrieswriter.com/2014/11/06/r...

What was life like for teens living on Army bases while their father's served in Vietnam? All were raised to believe that country came first, and all had an obligation to serve if called. Many ended up in Vietnam themselves. Here's one take on it: wordpress.com/post/cherrie...

My friend, Gale Fechik, tells three different stories: confronting a suspected stolen valor poser, thanking me for indirectly helping him through difficult times with my books and weekly posts, and lastly, sharing a memory that continues to haunt him. cherrieswriter.com/2022/06/25/s...

As part of Operation Dewey Canyon, Marines build FSB Cunningham in the Ashau Valley near the Laotian border to stop the infiltration of enemy troops into South VN. The NVA wanted the camp destroyed and attacked. Here's a description of the battle: cherrieswriter.com/2012/02/13/s...

Their names, etched in granite, will be forever remembered long after all the survivors of the #VietnamWar have passed on. Check out this link to view photos for each of those 'names' on the wall. cherrieswriter.com/2013/06/18/t...

During the #Vietnamwar, newly arrived soldiers were referred to as Cherries. At least this is how it was in the infantry. I’ve heard other acronyms: FNG, Newbie and fresh meat. Click below to see what it was like for these young soldiers. cherrieswriter.com/2023/01/07/w...

Veterans of today say 'Cherries' could be their own story - just replace the jungle and rice paddies with sand, scorpions, fleas & camels. This, too, is a chance for family members to learn more about what many infantry soldiers faced in the #vietnamwar www.amazon.com/Cherries-Vie...

Another morning during the #vietnamwar when we were up and moving before the sun was up. All the open areas and helicopters made it difficult to sneak up on an enemy who knew which way we traveled. Here's one soldier's recollection of his patrols: cherrieswriter.com/2015/11/07/a...

I wondered how many more of us feel this way. Mr. Kuhn broaches the subject in a casual manner – like a discussion between two friends over a cup of coffee. How many of you are with us on this? bit.ly/46p22iP

In the rear areas, you could certainly tell the difference between a visiting grunt and those working on the post just by looking at their fatigues and boots. Even MP's had it tough: bit.ly/4fV8jb9

How many of you knew that the youngest American Soldier to be killed during the #VietnamWar was only 15 yrs. old? The minimum age for enlistment was 17 years-old with parental consent. How did this happen? wp.me/pRiEw-2mi

Way back before "e-mail" and "Facetime" were invented, the most treasured gift military personnel received was mail – a letter from home. Soldiers in the #Vietnamwar were ecstatic when hearing from family, but sometimes, the news hurt. What was it like? bit.ly/4idm6eB

This Kit Carson Scout, Nung, saved us on many occasions from booby-trapped trails, ambushes, and from walking into enemy base camps. Read about him in both "Cherries" and "Death in the Triangle". bit.ly/3D0pn0F

You can take the youth out of the soldier, but that old veteran today will gladly take up arms and help fight invaders if America was attacked. Read about our youth in the #Vietnamwar and witness what we had to endure to protect one another and survive. cherrieswriter.com/2016/10/18/w...

You’ve lost relationships, spent years of your lives in extreme conditions, years apart from kids you’ll never get back, and beaten your body in a way that people don’t understand. Then come home to a nation that doesn’t understand. To those who served! bit.ly/3CC8HMW
