When I returned from Vietnam, after 13 months and 13 days, I flew into McGuire AFB and was discharged the next day, a Friday. I rode a shuttle taxi to JFK Airport. Somewhere in NYC my new VW bug was waiting. I met a taxi driver, told him where I was to find my car and he took me to a hotel a few blocks from the dealer. That generous and fine gentleman would not take my money! Saturday morning I walked to the dealer. They cleaned the car and I headed north and west on the Thruway to my parents' home in Niagara Falls.

I love this man’s attitude. Not getting too emotional very matter-of-fact. He’s the kind of guy I love to hang with and have a beer and call my friend. God bless your brother you’re a good American and a great Marine

Great stories Ivory, all the Vietnam vets are awesome to listen to and they are not boring at all and its really puts me on the edge of the seat to get put back in time and its sad so many great people and true fighters gave their all but with these interviews time will stop and everyone will remember these heroes.

Glad you made it home Ivory, hope you are well. The coldest I ever was when a typhoon blew in just after Christmas 1968. The temperature was 55° but everything you had was wet and there was a considerable wind. We were living in the field in 2 ponchos snapped together to make a tent.

What a great interview! Thank-you and your dad for your services! My late dad was a WWII veteran. We are happy with our family that served in the armed forces, including my eldest son who served in the Marines! I remember my friends who went to Nam, some did not get back. God bless you and your dad!❤️❤️
