Uncle was in the Airforce and he made it most of the way through life without any major health problems till he was around 57-58. Being a mechanic, he was exposed to agent orange and probably many other chemicals. He eventually had loads of health problems show up and he had to get both legs amputated. His health did get a little better but once his wife left him after everything he just couldn't do it. His health declined to the point where he had to stay in the hospital and that is where he passed away. I never got to say goodbye and I never got to go to his funeral because I was away for a vacation at the time and a big storm came through. Even though the storm cleared up it was still 'raining' for a good few weeks. I do have peace of mind knowing that he is no longer suffering physically or mentally anymore though. He held on till he was 67 and that is long enough. RIP Richard 2019.

When speaking to some of them I was met with a heavy sense of guilt from what my country had done to them, but their friendliness, optimism, and devotion to their beautiful art showed me how strong and resilient the people of Vietnam are.

We didn't know what PTSD was back then. He has a scar from Vietnam that I do not know how he got it. I asked when I was in elementary school and all he said was "it's none of your damn business."

That’s what I’d think too, but I think once you’ve done it enough times, the thought of getting shot or injured doesn’t hit you untill later on. Plus I’m sure the adrenaline levels are really high during combat, so the medics don’t have time to think about getting killed, they have to focus on reaching the wounded, and avoiding getting shot. No time to think about anything else.

My dad was there 69-70, 11B, 1-27th (wolfhounds), 25th ID (tropic lightning). Served in South Vietnam and Cambodia. He hosted a reunion in our town about five years ago. Spending time with dad and his brothers in arms is an experience I will never forget. Every one is a true American patriot and hero!

Thanks for your dedication and bravery!

I had the pleasure of meeting Richard Threlkeld in an airport when I was a kid in the 1970's. I recognized him from the evening news. I had him autograph a TWA timetable for me, since I didn't have anything handy for him to sign. I still have that autograph.
