Thanks! We love Bill here at VP! A truly amazing man!

One of my biggest hero’s, thank you for fighting for our freedom, I love you grandpa😭❤️

My dad was part of the 124th Transportation Corp in Vietnam. Thankful to God he made it home alive 🙏

My dad drove over there, he got out in 72. I think he was in long binh. He would tell me about driving at night. I lost him 2 years ago to lung cancer. Thank you to all that served!

My uncle is Mike Troop and was a truck driver in Vietnam. I’ve never heard him speak of the war so if any of the vets here know him or of him please reach out! Would love to hear more of his story

Welcome home brother. I was a 10 ton with a lowboy trailer driver with the 169th Engineer bn. from 05/69 to 12/70.

My dad, too, served in Vietnam and uploaded an interview on KZread you can see if you type, "Gary Beard Vietnam War", and his experiences are very similar to what you just said!! Thank you for your service. God Bless 🙏

Thank you Bill!

My grandfather was in the Vietnam war he past a way a couple of years ago

I know what you mean brother, I was the in 1970-71 started out in Long Binh, then went to Quin Nhon, then to Bong Son and finally to Da Nang. I drove a 2 1/2 ton all over nam. I had a convoy of 105 trucks moving during the monsoons up to Da Nang. I still have ties with the country and the people today, for the last 12 years been teaching english online to the kids and teachers for Free, 7 days a week. Would still like to go back again, maybe to stay this time.

By the 101st

I was with the roman plows in 67 to 68, although I was in Nam to 69: I can attest to the matter of fact, Pretty much every fuel tanker I ever seen was beat all to beans: busted up, cracked frames. axle wheel bearings gone all to heck: The roads were rough. I ETS out of the Army from Vietnam in April of 69, off all things, note I had been placed in a 3rd Echelon unit so said for my well being ! , as if It was away from danger, rocket city. I was giving a task to deliver a pretty well busted up 5t ton truck and low bed with a full length tanker chained down extra tight: The tank was wasted along with the low bed being scrapped, something like that: The tanked being the back bone for the low bed. in other words, it was party package, took me three days in convoy south: I was in Lie kai there about, I was to get all my paper work and fly back. If it wasn't the VC getting in their licks in here and there, The roads pretty much destroyed the vehicles. even the APC's took a beating. Blessings to you and yours; Jesus is LORD.

I worked with someone years ago who hauled bombs. He told me about the bullets ricocheting off of them.

I was with 126 trans in 1966/68 m52s2

2:21 Best job I had, Too bad I didn't feel the love.

I have a question. What I'm seeing is drivers wearing like baseball caps Did they carry helmets or wear them when driving. I have a Duse and a half and I'm trying to get it ready for parades. Anything else you can remember that would be inside the truck that I can get to make it look like it's just came back from there.

I help build that road between Cam Ranh Bay and Phan Rang
