Have you forgotten? The Vietnam War Extract Data File of the Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS) Extract Files contains records of 58,220 U.S. military fatal casualties of the Vietnam War. One of my best friends Roger Carey, U.S. Marine was Killed after just six months of serving in that hell hole. UPDATED: Remembering Roger G. Carey, pictured above, of Windom, Minnesota, Killed In Vietnam Then Vietnam War run by politicians. The Vietnam vets were treated so badly by our government and citizens. Over my years in radio I interviewed many on the radio. I would have our heroes tell their stories. One soldier told me that when he flew into O’Hare airport in Chicago, he went to sit down and the people around him got up and left, refusing to sit by him. A persistent but unfounded criticism leveled against those who protested in opposition to the Vietnam War is that they spat upon and otherwise derided returning soldiers, calling them “baby-killers”. Now as a Pastor, I have officiated many funerals for these men. Presently many are are homeless, over 1 in 10 homeless people in America are veterans. More Here. Many are suffering from the effects of agent orange and other physical and mental health issues. Agent Orange was a tactical herbicide the U.S. military used to clear leaves and vegetation for military operations mainly during the Vietnam War. Roughly 300-thousand veterans have died from Agent Orange exposure — that’s almost five times as many as the 58-thousand who died in combat. “Did it save lives? No doubt. Over there it did, but nobody knew it was going to be taking them later,” said Dan Stenvold, President of the North Dakota branch of the VVA.
