I want to pause before I begin today's message to salute the service and commitment of our servicemembers as we celebrate Memorial Day this weekend. Warriors apprehend at some point in their lives they are unable to abide under their physical strength alone, but to endure it requires something far greater. Having been to war and suffered the hardships of life God has kept me through the promise of his word. In his eyes I have found grace. I am both careful and mindful of the words that I use in this instance, and purposefully did not use the word “favor”, as that would imply that I've done something more worthy than those that have lost this life's battle, those who having sacrificed everything, and are no longer with us. What I have found to be true, over, and again, as I have had the pleasure of working and conversing with so many incredible people. Great and small, men and women of Valor, of great prominence, talented far beyond the reach of the stars of heaven, and yet they are no longer present with us.   If the opportunity presents itself to have the fortune to speak with someone and listen to the stories of those that fought in the gas filled trenches in France, during World War I; or those whose exploits were recognized for their gallant efforts on the shores of Normandy in Europe, or the sands of Iwo Jima in the Pacific during World War II; those of the forgotten war in Korea, that spoke of the unforgiving winters in the Chosun reservoir in which many were not failed by the enemies bullet, but rathe the unforgiving nature of the climate and sub-zero temperatures; or the audacious 17, 18, and 19 year-olds who fought unfailingly in ”Hue City”, and bravely during the sudden onslaught of the “Tet Offensive”, in Vietnam.   To speak with someone of that stature presents a unique set of circumstances, as it forces us to come face to face with our own mortality, realizing that in a moment one's life could suddenly end. However, I give this assurance having been to the severe and austere environments of Iraq and Afghanistan, even in the desert, “roses bloom.” Reminding us of the hope that God grants each of us.   In the desert, in the midst of nothingness, when soldiers grew weary from exhaustion, missing loved ones, and oftentimes wondering, having lost close friends and comrades if they were next, God was there as I witnessed firsthand something of such vivid beauty that words, not matter what language, cannot even begin to express, as young men and women lined up to give their lives to Christ, to be baptized in a place so far from home, thousands of miles away. Yes, when a soldier is weary, when a warrior is wounded, God's presence is manifested in a place we least expect. Some would suppose like the words spoke in scripture, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” (John 1:46). The answer is a resounding, “yes.”   Today's episode is titled. Wounded Warrior Psalm 32:7   Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/david66634/message

The Vietnam generation paved the way for my generation of warfighters to get help and establish the Veterans Administration as we know it today. Some of the men from this generation chronicled their war exploits and published them for the rest of the world to know what happened there. This is/was more important than you can imagine. Without written testimony and first-hand accounts from the ground, we as a people, could never properly learn from it. One of the more detailed books on the Vietnam conflict is called Battlelines. It was written by LtCol. David B. Brown USMC (retired) and his lovely daughter Tiffany Brown Holmes. LtCol. Brown earned a Silver Star medal for Gallantry in combat. He was a Company Commander in Vietnam, who took over command of Fox Company, 2nd Battalion 5th Marines, shortly after they cleared Hue City. Following his time in Vietnam, first as an advisor and then as the Fox Company Commander, Brown had a distinguished career in the Marine Corps. LtCol Brown instructed at the U.S. Naval Academy and headed up the Marine Corps procurement budget. Upon retirement, he was a logistics consultant for both the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Navy. He served as the director of the 2nd Marine Division Association, he has published numerous articles in the Marine Corps Gazette, and the Amphibious War Review. He has also authored books on training, automated information systems, and logistics. He remains very active in his local community and is in the process of writing another book.

We continue to pay for the sins of our fathers. It's time to hear the stories of Vietnam. George Haught recounts the Hellish urban combat that was the battle for Hue City.

It was the largest battle in the [Vietnam] war in terms of numbers of casualties, and politically it was the most important On the Anniversary of the start of the Tet Offensive of 1968, A BETTER PEACE welcomes retired U.S. Ambassador Jim Bullington to recount the story of the Battle of Huế in Vietnam which began on January 31, 1968 and lasted nearly a month. In contrast to the Viet Cong's previous strategies of raiding, the Viet Cong occupied Huế and captured thousands of civilians and prisoners of war. Bullington was serving as a Foreign Service Officer at the time, and found himself in Hue in unusual circumstances. In this podcast, Bullington tells both his personal story (a love story in the midst of a war) and about the broader implications of the battle. While historians still debate the impact of the Tet Offensive and the Battle of Hue on the conduct of the American War in Vietnam, this story reminds us of the personal narratives and consequences that are also central to war. A BETTER PEACE Editor Jacqueline E. Whitt moderates.     Jim Bullington is a retired U.S. ambassador who served as a foreign service officer in Vietnam during Huế. Jacqueline E.

Richard Prince fought in one of the most horrific battles of Vietnam, and one that often gets overlooked. The battle for Hue City during the Tet Offensive of 1968 was an all-out grudge match & street fight that lasted for several weeks. Prince found himself fighting in one of the most hellish engagements of the battle, below the Dong Ba Tower at the city’s imperial Citadel, where many Marines perished. During the fight, Prince was shot through the neck by a sniper, permanently damaging his vocal chords. Fortunately, Prince made it out of the Citadel, and the battle, alive. Fifty years later, Richard Prince returned to the reconstructed Dong Ba Tower in Hue City, with The Greatest Generations Foundation, a nonprofit that provides free visits to battlefields where Vietnam and World War II veterans served. Hear about Prince’s fight to survive and save other Marines, and his bittersweet return to the place that had once been hell on earth for him & so many others, on this episode of HAZARD GROUND!

They're father and son, bonded by war. Both of them, Marines. The father fought in Vietnam, during one of the most violent periods of that conflict. The son did the same in Iraq. For the longest time, the son only knew that his dad was Alvin Bert Grantham, or "A.B." as he's known, the wounded Marine on the tank in one of the most iconic photographs from the Vietnam War. The photo of A.B. Grantham was shot by award-winning photographer, John Olson. It was featured in the March 8, 1968 issue of "Life" magazine, and would come to symbolize the horrific fighting that took place in Hue City during the Tet Offensive. It wasn't until the son, Joshua Grantham, fought as a Recon Marine in Iraq in 2004 and 2006, that father and son would finally solve the enigma of one another, revealing the haunting wartime past that had made the father a hero to his son, and unveiling the son's reasons for following in the hero's footsteps. This is an amazing story of family, brotherhood, sacrifice, and raw human experience that we truly consider ourselves lucky to cover on the Hazard Ground Podcast! www.reconsniperfoundation.org | "Hue 1968"

On August 20, 2009, General Christmas delivered a lecture entitled 'The Battle of Hué City, South Vietnam, 1968.' The year 1968 marked a crucial turning point in the Vietnam War. During Tet, the lunar New Year holiday, the North Vietnamese and their Viet Cong allies staged attacks across South Vietnam, none more dramatic than the assault on Hué, the old imperial capital. The offensive ended in crippling military defeat for the attackers, and yet the strength of their assault led to a political setback for the United States, as critics at home gained traction and public support for the war eroded. Lt. Gen. G. R. (Ron) Christmas, USMC (Ret.), participated in the battle for Hué as a company commander and will present a first-hand account of the conflict. General Christmas is president and CEO of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation. This lecture was part of the VHS commemoration of the Vietnam War era.(Introduction by Paul A. Levengood)
