Of the 58,281 names on the wall, two-thirds of them died in 1967, ‘68, and ‘69. Robin Bartlett landed in I Corps right smack in the middle of that period. His training sergeant at Camp Evans said to him, “your life expectancy is less than 90 days.” In this episode, Robin talks about the realities behind that prediction, how he defied it, and the book he wrote about his Vietnam War experience.

    I was "there", not in a direct combat situation, but in support of such. Everything he said is true & "rings a bell" in my consciousness. To this day, it is very hard to convey the feelings that come back to me. Some of them I have all the time, other's "just show up" Welcome home sir

    It's so sad to not feel welcome in the place you thought you would be safe.

    USA wouldnt allow free elections in Vietnam as they knew Ho Chi Minh would win - so they fought against democracy - read some history

    I watch these stories the soldiers and as a Canadian in the same age group, I applaud each warfighter for their sacrifices. Many of us in Canada only heard it through filtered news and political rhetoric. Those of you who made it back and we're scared by the experience or who died you have my utmost respect and welcome home
