Hill 937, part of Operation Apachi Snow, in the A Shau Valley. I had the opportunity to visit with John and his wife this past few days and we discussed the 101 Airborne, 3/187th., Charlie Company and "RAKKASAN." John, and all of the rest of his unit have my eternal respect and appreciation for their countless, thankless efforts, when called upon. John makes me proud to be an American, as do all our service men and women. Their true reward, for their accomplishments and service, awaits them. "GOD BLESS!"

I am sorry for the way you and the other soldiers were treated by the media and the public. I was hoping you would be able to help me on my project and discuss the events of the Hill and how the media portrayed it. Thank you for any help you could give and thank you for your service to our Country. Dear Mr. Carlton,

Check out their coverage of the 'Trayvon Martin ' killing, The news services ALL got behind lynching the OLD guy for the justice of the Mountain dew drinking skittles eating choir singing Youth we saw during the first 2 weeks of the investigations. Our news services LIED and LIED without regard to the damage it was doing to race relations... The same kind of lies the public was shown during the VN war.

Carlton Tue, 20 Nov 2012 06:18:55 +0000 #comment-824890 I have the still vivid visions of Hamburger every day, The battle was really a story of determination and guts. As a Crew Chief with C/158th, I watched a lot of it from a birds I view. The media as usual pumped up the fight to list this as the most horrible thing that had occurred to date, forgetting about the 173rd and 187 and the Idrang. The media made it possible for us to be shamed and wrote off as baby killers which rolled over to the public. My generation, the Baby Boomers saw this as a chance to raise hell and smoke more Dope, as well as smoke their draft cards. My Love of the 101st will never die, my hatred of the Media and my generation will not die either. All the Way Screaming Eagles.

I believe America would have done much better if we would not have drafted Young men and then send them into combat. What our Gov. should have done was to educate America to the reasons we were fighting there. I trust Americans to go face an enemy when we are told the truth and the enemy needs to be faced. If there are NOT enough reasons to wage a war, let the Young Men stay in the USA, drive Chevy's and date the girls.

He was a medic and was on Hamburger Hill. Doc Milburn (Paul B. Milburn). To this day he continues with nightmares and remembers all that lost their lives. He visits the "wall" a couple of times a year. It still difficult everytime he goes, but he believes he owes it to his guys. My heart goes out to all our Vets and Hero's. God Bless you all.

We were dedicated to the 101st Division and had the privilage of putting in and taking out of many LLRP missions. So I have met many hero's, ask any of them and they will tell You, The Hero AND the coward exist in everyman and when I heard my Gunner Fat Fred open up with his m-60 out the right door while Crew Chief Langly's laid down the law out the left side, I felt safer, much safer. I feel very lucky to be able to have seen such bravery from so many on both sides. I stand and salute All the warriors no matter what flag they fought under, and I hope and pray God allows me to do it again. I flew for the Blackwidows, a slick company in 101 AHB.
