I lived through those days, not as a service member. Haven't watched a Jane fonda movie for almost 60 years. And despise John, threw my metals away, kerry.
oh Fonda, she's a puke inducing individual isn't she? I feel exactly the same way. great comment and thanks for bringing that hag back into the light, she needs to be. cheers! 🍻
Not to detract from Captain Davis, but there was a saying back then, among us:
"There are many acts of heroism in Vietnam. Some even got medals."
I witnessed heroism almost every day while flying CSAR, North SAR, USN.
Many heroes in a useless war we weren't meant to win.
It also ushered in a 'progressive' government under wraps. People were so concerned with Nam, they simply didn't notice what else was happening.
There was a lot of power gained by the fed govt during that war. It also finalized the economic takeover by the fed/IRS/ADL by removal of the gold standard by Nixon.
Very, very Sad but also , extremely true. The moment politicians started calling the shots on how wars are fought, was the very moment we lost the ability to win the battle. Too many self interested players only interested in furthering their agenda as well as bank accounts - all at the expense of the very thing you spoke of .. "our Heroes" - I thank you an awful lot for what you said. and thank you, very much for Your Service as well Seadevil' - much appreciated Sir. 🫡🍻
This nations needs a ‘I went to a useless war’ medal
but there may be too many to give out. The ceremony may last years.
"CSAR North SAR USN" refers to the US Navy's Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) operations in the North Vietnam region during the Vietnam War, specifically focusing on the location and retrieval of downed US Navy pilots in or near North Vietnam
Yes. Specifically, I was with HC-7 Det 110, the Big Mothers. Also known as 'Orphans of the Seventh Fleet' since we had no home, and cross decked carrier to carrier for the years Det 110 existed. We were never aboard a given ship more than a month, just moved to another.
Three days of four were CSAR; the fourth was other flight duties.
Note that besides CSAR, we did medevacs, insertions/extractions, and fire support, especially during Tet 68. Our birds were armored and pretty tough. Those were retired after Tet, and replaced with lesser H-3Ds.
Careful about anything written of North SAR; it's not just incomplete, in some cases it's bs.
agreed. puke inducing and one of the most galling things i've ever seen so far as someone getting something they did not earn nor deserve; talk about a DEI hire.
o7 Captain Davis - Literally an earth angel to desperate men facing death. An answered prayer.
And...[NO NAME]... this ice water, with a little squeeze of lemon is deliciously refreshing. Too bad you're not getting any. May your headstone quickly dissolve from all the piss that rains down upon it.
Perfectly stated TaQo. Perfectly. - many thanks my friend. Couldn't have said it better myself and honestly wish I'd thought of how you put it into words first. - much appreciated. 🙏🫡🍻
Thank you for posting. The Honor Project is so important. I get weepy when I think about all those who end up fighting wars that never should have happened.
My Dad was a SeaBee stationed on Tinian island for a while. Of course there was danger, because they went in to build airstrips for the Marines to come in. The value in such situations, certainly for my father, was the brotherhood...working together as a team with a bunch of really young and in some cases gifted fellows. I think he saw that time as maybe the best of his life, and he went to their reunions every year until he couldn't travel any more.
I truly look forward to a time when the wounds of war are healed for everyone...
Beautifully said Bloggerchick' and I mean it. Your Dad was building the very airstrip(s) for men like the man that raised me and I heard many stories about that very one so far as "Tinian" - he passed in 2011 and both he [My Pap] and Mamaw raised me. The world without these kinds of men and women are not the same and is worse off for having lost any of them, let alone even one. I miss seeing and hearing the stories, the respect and admiration, comradery and friendships these men/women of that particular generation were instilled with. I miss them every day. Every.

Thank you for this post. It’s a great reminder that there are so many wonderful and great people in this world. It becomes too easy to forget them when we’re constantly dealing with the other evil filth.
You bet and thank you for giving him your time and attention as to what he did and what it meant to he himself. Very much appreciate what you said and I thank you for it as well AloneinCT'. 🍻
Thank you. Indeed this needs knowing and remembering.

Turns out it was someone else's medals
This only makes him a double shit bag.
That's my point

I’m sure LBJ made out well $$$ from that war. Let’s include the bushes and rest of the Fortune 500 executives. Lockheed Martin.

Sir... Am I about to die?
Not before me.
What a hero. It's a disgrace that it took so long to recognize this man for his heroism.
🙏absolutely and well stated bob'. spot on. 🍻
This made my eyes water and touched me to my core...
Great Men walk among us...🎖️

Compare that to Obama getting the Nobel Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing.

Well said TaQo...
This is a very uplifting video. Glad to hear when true heroes speak out about what motivates them to be who they are.
I felt the same way. Thank you so much for what you said here. Very much appreciated and not just by me.

Yes, sadly enough, yes and 100% correct. Thank you very much for the acknowledgment and everything you said. Very much appreciated Symmetry'. 🍻
Captain Paris D. Davis is truly a HERO! Thanks for posting Tetartos_Ippeas
Thank you for watching and for what you said. Very much appreciated. -mean it. 🍻🫡
Just watched Con Air again last night...Nicholas Cage was a ranger who refused to leave a man behind (or the woman officer). Such heroes really exist.
Thanks for posting this.
You're most welcome Bonnie' and thank you for what you've said. I very much appreciate it. 🙏🍻
