My time in 'Nam wasn't quite so colorful but I saw enough to understand what it takes. Rest easy Doc. Amen. Thanks Joe, from all of us who came back and for all of those who didn't. - Paul Hayes Fri, 29 May 2009 05:22:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/vanished-soldiers-american-heroes-come-home.htm#comment-18707 You are a great man Mr galloway, God Bless you and yours. - Bruce Honaker Sun, 19 Apr 2009 15:56:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/vanished-soldiers-american-heroes-come-home.htm#comment-18699 Thank you for the fantastic story. It certainly brings back memories. I served two years in the same area. Pleiku, with the Forth Infantry Division and one year as a Vietnamese Advisor. One topic rarely mentioned but it still sadens me greatly, is our leaving of the South Vietnamese Soldiers behind who also fought with us and many times served as our guides, interperters and comrade in arms. I thank those South Vietnamese who supported us and in some cases gave their lives so that we could return home safely. - William Husser Sat, 18 Apr 2009 01:19:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/vanished-soldiers-american-heroes-come-home.htm#comment-18698 My US Army Air Recon outfit lost Harry and his crew in November, 1966. Although we knew where they were when they came under fire, we could never find them. Five years later an infantry foot patrol spotted his aircraft stuck high up in the thick trees of the jungle west of Dong Ha. They too finally came home to family and friends. God bless those who gave their lives and those who are doing so today.

Welcome home. - Dan Marries Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:57:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/vanished-soldiers-american-heroes-come-home.htm#comment-18689 HEROES, EVERY ONE. MAY GOD BLESS THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND PEACE BE UPON THEM. - MSGT CARL MCKENZIE, USAF (RET) Wed, 15 Apr 2009 08:09:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/vanished-soldiers-american-heroes-come-home.htm#comment-18686 A very poignant account. Your writing brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for caring so much about the fallen heros whose names have faded with time. - Sarah Bates Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:32:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/vanished-soldiers-american-heroes-come-home.htm#comment-18685 After reading the article and posts from people I started to get emotional. I though to myself "How do I thank these warriors, past and present, for what they have done." The best answer I can come up with is "Remember Them". To those that have served and suffered a dear cost, thank you. I will always remember and honor your sacrifice. - Bluejammy Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:37:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/vanished-soldiers-american-heroes-come-home.htm#comment-18684 With Bush gone and the Iraq war declared a success, even by Obama, looks like Joe is done railing against Iraq and bashing Bush every turn of the way. Funny considering Obama is picking up Bush's Iraq and Afghanistan policy and running with it practically verbatim. I wonder if Joe will write a blistering article criticizing President Obama over Afghanistan when it starts to look grim, which all wars do at some point or another. I wait with baited breath... - JS Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:36:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/vanished-soldiers-american-heroes-come-home.htm#comment-18677 Michael, this article is just one example of the valuable information you and your associates can bring to our attention. Keep up the good work, all of you, and stay as safe as you can. I tried to volunteer for a free-lance writing assignment in Iraq or preferably, Afganistan, based on my years of experience as a reporter and free-lance writer on many topics in the 'states, but because of some spinal surgeries I can't be totally mobile and I don't want to endanger anyone in a combat situation (where I have never been, by the way). "If you can't run, then you can't go," said a friend of mine, a retired 82nd Airborne officer. I'll do all I can to encourage the kind of articles that Michael Yon and company provide for all of us.

May God bless their families. Brings back old memories from the 11th Air Assault to my pre-deployment and later sleeping with our guns ships on the perimiter at An Khe for the arrival of the 1st Calvary Division. May God bless one and all.

The government does not own it's citizens. - Mike Mon, 13 Apr 2009 19:07:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/vanished-soldiers-american-heroes-come-home.htm#comment-18667 Godspeed to those men, home at last in God's loving arms....their families free at last to grieve and heal. I work with many retired veterans, from Vietnam to the current war, and it never ceases to amaze me the quiet strength and deep bonds these men and women carry within themselves. God Bless our Armed Forces. - CJ Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:46:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/vanished-soldiers-american-heroes-come-home.htm#comment-18666 Thank you so much Michael for your dedication to our troops and their successes, including my grandson just back from his third tour in Iraq. I know an awful lot of people that really appreciate our freedoms, and unfortunately some that do not, including the media. My heart goes out to all the families of the Fallen, POW's and MIA's. May God Bless them and help them, and know that their loved ones are still watching over us and their troops. God Bless and Love to All from a very proud grandmother and american.

HAND SALUTE! - Jim Gilmore Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:17:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/vanished-soldiers-american-heroes-come-home.htm#comment-18664 John M - you are right..."Are there really any words" We never forget - God bless you Doc Lose.

As an infantry captain after last tour in Vietnam, I commanded a company under then Major General Hal Moore...he personally took great care of this ol' gun pilot doing his "ground time"....but his care an feeding didn't stop there....he "followed me" until he retired years later....since then I've been blessed to see him and talk on the phone from time-to-time....just this last Jan we talked briefly...he told me that he continues to be really "crippled-up" and doesn't get around much...but his mind, I can tell you, was as sharp as ever! Why do I tell you about this...because Hal Moore and that band of warrior brorthers were a special group of men....he, and they, taught me, by example, that we fought for a cuase that didn't go away in the mid '70s when we left the mountains, valleys, and paddies of Vietnam....those of us who came home in pretty good shape are to honor them all by doing our diligent best to be good Americans....and we all know what that looks like...look at Hal moore....then and now! Blessings, To All, Tom, Raider 27, Shotgun 13, & 3. - Tom Rains Mon, 13 Apr 2009 02:44:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/vanished-soldiers-american-heroes-come-home.htm#comment-18661 There it is. - Doug Jorgenson Mon, 13 Apr 2009 02:09:00 +0100 http://www.michaelyon-online.com/vanished-soldiers-american-heroes-come-home.htm#comment-18660 Thank you Michael for this.... I'm a regular reader because this is where the 'news' is at. God Bless those fine crewman who flew the slicks and those who pounded the ground in the jungles and fought charlie as a great brave team!. I will never forgot your sacrifice. The news today of the Navy Seals rescuing the American sea captain.... the bravery and dedication continues and I'm so proud! - Chris Nicosia Mon, 13 Apr 2009 00:34:00 +0100
