I recently came across the video below...
Roy Benavidez was a member of the elite 82nd Airborne Division. In 1965 he stepped on a landmine while serving as adviser to an ARVN infantry regiment in Vietnam. Following recovery,
he trained with the 5th Special Forces Group, returning to Vietnam in 1968. There he found a place of honor in the Halls of Valhalla.
"Blood dripped from the door as the chopper lumbered into the air."
This is the true story of a poor orphaned Mexican boy who became an American hero in Vietnam. I don't believe his story was ever told by the media. They're more interested in Reality TV, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and the usual bread and circus for those who prefer tofu and white wine.
The veterans I knew, mostly gone now, were another breed. They believed in God and country. God and country is what made our nation great. Try and tell that to the typical Progressive who preaches Political Correctness. Or the men and women in Washington who sing the praises of Socialism. I revere that Mexican-American youngster who became one of our heroes.
Master Sergeant Benavidez passed away November 29, 1998.
