    My combat Navy Seabee Chief dad said an angel appeared to him while he was in dire straits. He was in the new Hebrides, and the Solomon Islands in WW2. The Japanese bombed from the air almost ever night and day. Don't ever underestimate the ability of God to intervene in a crisis. You just have to ask Him.

    I've seen most of the documentaries on the Battle of Lang Vei featuring Paul Longrear and the courage these men displayed. Paul Longrear tells a great story of courage and heroism by a few brave and dedicated soldiers. During my first stateside tour at Ft. Hood in 1981 I was assigned as the driver of the S2/S3 shop of the 89th M.P. Group (later designated a brigade) as was fortunate enough to serve with one of the men stationed and eventually captured at Lang Vei William G. McMurray. These men are true American heroes.
  • Beautifully told story. Thank you for your service sir. Thank you to all the men who served in Vietnam. I pray you find the two lost men. God bless you and your family.
  • Paul and Patty seemed to be a perfect couple. This video is very informative and interesting. Thank you for posting this!❤❤
  • This is a powerful video hard to watch I have an older brother that served in Vietnam he did not come back as the same brother I knew

    Very good video, and thank you for your service. I am also a Vietnam Veteran (Canadian by birth), but now live in Colorado. Thank you all, that have served in Vietnam.
  • this is a story behind the story America is great by her soldiers who gave and some everything thanks God thanks soldiers!
  • This was, is an incredible story. I wasn't expecting the testimony of this former fighting man, but it blessed me like a jolt and that's when I know I need to listen. That 'Old man' left on that hill walk was the best tactical move any man could make. So much more I could say but, God bless you all

    Thank you for not blurring the horrific pictures. I think to blur this history is a crime in itself. People, especially young people, need to realize what happened. To see the life just snuffed out even the innocent is eye-opening.
