6) I make a difference
7) I honor and remember my fallen comrades

of America, Reserve Officers Association, Student Veterans of America, Team Rubicon Global, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Wounded Warrior Project.

“War is an incredibly expensive proposition – in terms of human life, human suffering and in financial terms. If we are not prepared to take care of those men and women who went to war, then we should not send them to war in the first place. Taking care of veterans is a cost of war….The cost of war continues until the last veteran receives the care and benefits that he or she has earned on the battlefield.”
ENSURING VETERANS’ ACCESS TO CARE

http://www.196th.org/
When John was in Vietnam, he was a Dustoff medic who flew aboard unarmed Huey helicopters--air ambulances. His company--the 236th Medical Detachment served in direct support of the 196th Light Infantry Brigade. In 1969, the 196th LIB was located in the northernmost region of South Vietnam, known as I-Corps. The area remained a hotbed of activity throughout the war. The steep mountains and rock ravines favored the enemy, keeping the "grunts" of the 196th engaged in combat, resulting in high numbers of wounded and casualties.

Subject: Americal reunion Oklahoma City
Gary, met Mort in OKC. The Americal was having their annual reunion and Mort did his documentary. He gave me a few minutes on the podium and I accepted the heartfelt thanks to the 236th Med Det and it truly was heartwarming. Mort did an excellent job as he usually does, guy is amazing. Anyway, they all REALLY had good things to say and I shook hands with 20+ that said they'd been on one of our birds one, two or MORE times.
Below is my two minutes on the podium.
**************************
Thank you for the opportunity to say a few words.
It is good to be in the company of soldiers and their families.
I said it is good to be in the company of soldiers. We are citizen soldiers, you and I. This unit has a history of citizen soldiers serving their duty and I know much more about that history now than I did a few days ago. I would like to talk of the citizen soldier and then compare the soldier of today known as a professional soldier to the citizen soldier of our era and as I do so I wish to be very clear that it is in no way intended to distract from the courage, quality and dedication of today’s soldier, but you and I as citizen soldiers have a role in helping each other as well as the modern soldier.
A citizen soldier came from the culture of America, served their time and eventually returned to the culture from which they came. World War II was the Great War. Korea was largely ignored in America as soldiers suffered tremendous hardships and terrible combat. Then Vietnam, for the most part our war. Many of us here volunteered, many were drafted. Some few faced a judge and was told it is green or white and black stripes, your choice. But we entered the service because of a belief. It may have been the belief in the war, in our country, in the trust of other young Americans that had to go to war, or a belief in a duty to one’s own cause. But we stood the line. Many were injured, many were killed, and many came back to a culture that did not want the legacy of Vietnam to be on their conscious and told us in no uncertain terms of our sins.
So we hunkered down. For 15 years we were the psychopath that was depicted out of Hollywood. We were the stuff you pick up on your shoes on a warm day at the dog park. Then it became cool to have a Vietnam Vet as a buddy. Sorry folks, too little and too late. Many of our mates did not survive coming home and many still suffer.
But somewhere in our psyche we may have felt we deserved being treated poorly, because as all of us in here know, war is nasty business. So we that are here today suffered being baby killers, being spit on, refused service, being told not to wear our uniform off post when our buds died in uniforms like this. We endured.
Then comes the modern era with the all-volunteer Army. Our government makes a very great investment in training and equipping soldiers for their tasks and rely on highly trained and motivated soldiers to go out and experience “It’s not a job, it’s an adventure.” Yeah, right. When these solders go to war and realize their friends are having the adventure of their lives it is really a tough realization. They see the dirty underbelly of war and experience a religiously motivated conflict that has none of the intimate contact and associations with the people we experienced in Vietnam and they come back to accolades and being treated as a hero. Given first class treatment and thanked for their service it is very tough for these young people, and I believe it is tougher on them that it was on us.
So we hunkered in, crawled to a dark corner and kept our heads down even when we returned and survived for the most part. Tragically some did not, but we managed and now the young professional modern all-volunteer soldier comes home to what they perceive as trivial and false praise and I believe it is harder for them that for us in some ways.
So what I will finally say is as Major General Douglas Dollar once said, “You gotta man-up here!” We have to be thankful we’re alive. We have to take back our future and we have to never forget who had no future and live ours as they could not. This is your challenge. Turn to the young vet, you out there, and offer he or she your hand, your wisdom, your secrets of survival.

“On this day, as survivors of “our war”, remembrance of those that sacrificed all, permeates silently through all of our other thoughts. In vivid memories, born of a reality, unknown to most is harbored within us. Memories that defy efforts to express. Such is our burden.
As I looked through the 236th Meritorious Unit Citation, I wonder how many of the over twelve thousand patients are survivors due to the efforts of our unit. It seems as though being a member of “Dustoff” validates our existence.”

From: Morton Dean, CBS war correspondent
To: Gary Hagan & other 236th unit veterans
I spent Veterans Day with you all. Thinking of you. Talking about you.
American Medevac & I were featured guests at a lunch sponsored by the PBS station in New York City & Ernst & Young. There were many vets there, in & out of uniform. One main purpose of the event was to celebrate & discuss efforts being made to bring veterans into the workplace & to promote the fact that vets are exceptional co-workers & possess great leadership capabilities. No surprise to me.
The President of the PBS station, Neal Shapiro, talked for a few minutes about American Medevac & screened ten minutes of it. The applause for the docu; the applause for YOU! was extraordinary. Then Neal interviewed me. He asked why, with of all the stories I covered over the years & all of the guys in uniform I met, why did I want to do this one documentary.
I made two points. One, that I felt America had to know, if it didn't already know or might have forgotten, that there were heroes who wore the American uniform in Vietnam. You were heroes.
I mentioned what also struck me way back when I met you guys at Hawk Hill, was that you exemplified an American ideal. "When the calls came in, the medevac crews never asked what color the wounded were. Or, what religion are they? Or, what party do they support? Or, what country were they born in? What they knew was somebody needed help. And they responded, often at great risk to their own lives." That's what good Americans do. That's what good people do. That's what heroes do. You are all those things.
I apologize. I'm going on much too long here.
Thank you for your friendship. I'm honored to have met you. I feel so great that I've been able to spread the word about how special you are.

Gary-
I hope all is well. Scruggs is an old friend of mine and a hero to families who lost loved ones in VN. I thought you might be interested in seeing his new blog. Please, if you wish, pass on to the Medevac gang. Scruggs & I served on the VN War Commemoration Commission together and early on he urged me to complete the American Medevac documentary saying the American public should get to know more about the heroics of you & your colleagues who helped save his life when he was a 19 year old kid bleeding to death on a Vietnam War battlefield.
He then said “I’m volunteering to become your unofficial pr person”. He was a man of his word - He then led me to NewDayUSA who sponsored the film. He’s a great man.
Let’s keep in touch.

SCRUGGS: “In graduate School at American University my interest in the impact of exposure to combat by US troops led to the creation of the famous Vietnam Veterans Memorial.This also led to my recent work doing Podcasts. Attached are the podcasts. A key player in the political success of the effort was a West Point graduate who persuaded uncooperative officials at the Interior Department to give us the Construction Permit in March 1982. This ended further efforts to stop the Memorial from being built on The Mall in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial.”

LZ Baldy C CO 23 MED BN Aid Station Webpage
http://www.lzbaldymedic.com/
Gary Weaver hosts a website dedicated to everyone who served in the Vietnam War. Specifically, his site recalls 1968 - 1970 when C Company 23rd Medical Battalion was stationed at LZ Baldy (fire support base) and later moved to Hawk Hill.
Gary was a medic and acting 1st Sergeant at the Aid station on Baldy where Dustoff crews were assigned regular rotations. Gary remembered John--the medic that was shot in August 1969--and located him in 2004 for a joyful reunion! Gary provided valuable and crucial knowledge for our book An Introduction to War. It was an honor to include him in the book.

The Distinguished Flying Cross Society
http://dfcsociety.net/?page_id=699
JOHN N. SEEBETH, Specialist Five, US Army, is awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism while participating in aerial flight evidenced by voluntary actions above and beyond the call of duty in the Republic of Vietnam; Specialist Five Seebeth distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions during the period 20 August 1969 through 22 August 1969 while serving as flight medic aboard an unarmed medical evacuation helicopter during rescue missions in the Hiep Duc Valley south of DaNang. At times without helicopter gunship cover or any other mode of air support, Specialist Seebeth and fellow crewmen undertook the dangerous task of evacuating the wounded and dead soldiers of the 196th Infantry Brigade, 7th Marine and 5th ARVN regimental units from the midst of a raging battle involving major elements of the 2nd North Vietnamese Army Regiment and 1st Viet Cong Regiment. While supervising the loading of patients, often while receiving enemy fire, Specialist Seebeth is also commended for performing life saving medical treatment during the flight back to the 23rd Medical Battalion aid station located at LZ Baldy. On what turned out to be Seebeth’s final mission, the Dustoff crew responded to an urgent request to evacuate a severely wounded American soldier on August 22, 1969. The unarmed Medivac helicopter undertook the mission and entered the fire-fight without benefit of gunship escort. The Dustoff chopper and crew came under light automatic weapons fire which left Specialist Seebeth with a gunshot wound to the neck. The professional competence -- both medical and aerial skill -- and unwavering devotion to duty displayed by Specialist Seebeth reflect great credit upon himself and the US Army.
As part of the Salute to Those Who Serve program, the Mariners recognized NW recipients of the Distinguished Flying Cross Medal on July 12, 2015

IN MEMORY
Doctor George Waters
Dr. George Waters died March 7, 2015. The Waters family are from Santa Monica, CA. Dr. Waters was a very special person in my life! He gave me back the breathe of life!!
“…Doctor George Waters, on TDY from the Air Force and assigned to the 23rd, stood to the side watching the young doctor probe around in the mangled flesh of John’s wound. The process was taking too long. John was unconscious, but when Doctor Waters saw him turning blue, he pushed the younger physician aside and said, “Let’s get an airway into this man.”
Sergeant Weaver quickly handed a trach kit to Doctor Waters, who promptly inserted a tube that established a life-saving flow of oxygen to John’s lungs. The medical team worked to stabilize John enough so he could be transported to the 95th…”
“…For the medical team in the cargo bay, the eight-minute flight was intense. Doctor Waters flew onboard because John’s air passage would not stay open. He knelt beside John, closely monitoring his breathing. When John’s heart stopped, Doctor Waters was able to bring him around with chest compressions and artificial breath of the ambu bag. Concentrating on keeping John alive diverted the doctor’s attention from the head-reeling view outside the open cargo bay doors. The pilot did not waste time gaining altitude, and at a speed of 160 knots, treetops flew by at a dizzying rate. The copilot continually checked gauges, making sure the Huey didn’t overheat as the pilot pushed it to the max…”

IN MEMORY
“It is once again my sad duty to report the passing of another fine Charger. Charles 'Tony' May served with B 3/21, in 1968. Tony was the co-founder and driving force behind "Locate-A-Brother". It was formed to help former 196th soldiers connect with their brothers. It provided a great service to Chargers. No service details have been provided other than the burial will be in the Phoenix City Cemetery on Rose St in Phoenix, OR on 7 Mar 2015. Thanks for your unselfish work, Tony. RIP Brother....”

From "Doc" Rolly Morrison
Combat Medic, 196th LIB
July 3, 2012: Hey Doc, I fired this off to all the grunts I had the privilege of being their medic and then thought of you. It brings tears to my eyes as I think back to long ago and far away when I could faintly hear the sound of the wop wop wop of those blades and knowing that hopefully my guy just might make it with the help from the docs in the birds. Blessings to you dear man and your wife, Doc Morrison
You may have served in Combat or in non-combat. You may have retired out or you may have served for a short time. You may have been a draftee or a volunteer. You may have served in the Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard or the Merchant Marines, BUT YOU SERVED. You did not run off to England or Canada, etc. YOU DID YOUR JOB HONORABLY and for that I am PROUD to call you Brother/Sister.
You may have served during Korea, WWII,. Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Iraq or Afghanistan, But you served, you did not run. You have a DD 214 with those words "HONORABLY DISCHARGED" the two most noble words in the world. Again I am proud to know each and every one of you. Brother-Sister, life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who don't, just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands know this. If it changes your life, let it. Take a few minutes to think before you act when you're mad. Forgive quickly. God never said life would be easy, he just promised it would be worth it. Today is Band of Brothers' Day ; send this to all your brothers, fathers, sons and fellow veterans you know.
Happy Brothers' Day! To the cool men that have touched my life: Here's to you!! I was never a hero, but I am thankful I served among them. A real Brother walks with you when the rest of the world walks on you. Send to all your Band of Brothers, because the fake ones won't.
Sept. 26, 2013: Friends and brothers,
I got this from Sam this am, more than likely he sent it to you also. I just needed to send it on to you just in case you did not get it. It is moving to see and hear those of us who paid a higher price for our freedom than we did. Doc PS Almost every day I think of how special it was to spend time with each of you at the DC reunion, I am a better man for it. Looking forward to more of it. Stay in touch!
POW & apos's from Nam, the ending is beautiful

I am sending this so you will have time to remember....and if you wish, to pass it on to others in memory of those who have served, those who are still serving, and 'those who gave their last full measure of courage'....

Dear Heather, Charlie Tiger Brothers, and Patriotic Friends,
I am sending this must watch video to you and Heather Tornes. Heather is an educator who teaches at Caledonia High School where Jerome Lukes graduated from. Jerome was the point man in Tam Ky who was KIA May 13, 1969. Heather is an outstanding teacher who teaches a class entitled "America at War". I want you all to know that she is filling the minds of our young Americans with the knowledge of the price of Freedom. God Bless her in this effort, God Bless You, and God Bless America. Watch with reverence.

This is indeed a fitting and touching tribute to OUR military. You have to listen carefully when Sgt McKensie sings in Scottish English.

From "Doc" Rolly Morrison
Combat Medic, 196th LIB
July 3, 2012: Hey Doc, I fired this off to all the grunts I had the privilege of being their medic and then thought of you. It brings tears to my eyes as I think back to long ago and far away when I could faintly hear the sound of the wop wop wop of those blades and knowing that hopefully my guy just might make it with the help from the docs in the birds. Blessings to you dear man and your wife, Doc Morrison
You may have served in Combat or in non-combat. You may have retired out or you may have served for a short time. You may have been a draftee or a volunteer. You may have served in the Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard or the Merchant Marines, BUT YOU SERVED. You did not run off to England or Canada, etc. YOU DID YOUR JOB HONORABLY and for that I am PROUD to call you Brother/Sister.
You may have served during Korea, WWII,. Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Iraq or Afghanistan, But you served, you did not run. You have a DD 214 with those words "HONORABLY DISCHARGED" the two most noble words in the world. Again I am proud to know each and every one of you. Brother-Sister, life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who don't, just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands know this. If it changes your life, let it. Take a few minutes to think before you act when you're mad. Forgive quickly.
