A Green Beret (me) Talking about Vietnam in 1967


The following is a 2 hour podcast recorded between 1000 and 1200 on November 10, 2019 in the studios of WHK 1420 broadcasting from Cleveland Ohio.

Gerry Quinn’s Irish Radio 11-10-19

The first hour is about the Irish civil war and the American civil war, which is very informative and worth listening to. I speak in the 2nd hour about some of my experiences in Vietnam between September 1967 and December 1967 when I was wounded in a fire fight near the Cambodian border in III Corps. After recovering I wrote down what happened to me because my mom and my wife made me do it.  Always listen to your mom and your wife.  I think it may have helped me avoid PTSD for we were not treated well after coming back to the world all the way to the 1990’s. 

In the section on this blog titled My Books and Papers is a copy of the  the book I wrote from the work I did while in the hospital in 1968.  The title is Diary of a Special Forces Trooper in Vietnam 1967.
