Brethren,

Every once in a while I see numerous articles that only present one side of the Vietnam War. 

During that time of the Vietnam War the newspapers, liberals, the Hollywood crowd and the public in general were feed a continual stream of anti-American ideals: especially patriotism. My father taught me one good thing and that was to love our country. America, in spite of all the evil, corrupt politicians, and other forms of corruption, is still the best country on the face of this planet for Democracy, Individual Freedom, and Religious Freedom.

It saddens me tremendously to witness the continual downgrade of America and the ideals why we fought the Vietnam War.

While I was growing up (in the house of an agnostic and church hating father), I was taught, (rightly so), the values of America, Democracy, Patriotism, and the evils of Communism, Socialism, Fascism, and liberals. I have not changed a whit from my father's correct moral teachings.

While growing up during the Vietnam War every day, (like our day and age), I read the supposedly vile actions of the U.S. Military as brought forth by Hollywood actors, liberal Religious figureheads, and the liberal, atheistic, and propaganda written by the communist leaning press. I read all about the evil actions of the military killing defenseless civilians by our Air Force and Army. And, I read all of the stories of how the Vietnam veterans were dope fiends, anti-military, and crazy in the head: remember Rambo?

When was the last time that you heard a story in the press that told the public of the brave, sacrificial, and patriotic deeds of the vast majority of the men in uniform during the Vietnam War?

Because of the vicious lies of the press, the traitorous acts of the Hollywood stars, the communist inspired Vietnam War demonstrations,and the unpatriotic acts of the ungodly religious crowd, our cowardly politicians gave in and did not allow the military to win the Vietnam War. Vietnam was the first war America lost. Now, South Vietnam is communist. Laos, which I was also indirectly involved, also was lost to the enemy. The enemy of America, and the nation of Israel, during that age, is Fascist (formally Communist), Russia and her allies. Vietnam was just a pawn that Russia used to obtain her goals.

In spite of all the vicious verbal attacks, and numerous speeches, hippies, men rushing to Canada to avoid the draft, and others acts of civil disobedience, I decided to volunteer for military service (the US Air force), to join the war.

During the Vietnam War I volunteered and was not drafted. I found out by personal experience that the innocent civilians were not so innocent, the Hollywood actors were traitors, the liberal press was lying and the religious figureheads were lost men seeking fame and fortune. The Vietnam War, started by President Kennedy, was initially a war against communism. Due to communist lies the American public was misled. Even to this day you cannot hardly find an article written against communism. But, you can find plenty of articles against the war and downgrading the men who bravely, and patriotically, fought against the communist North Vietnamese and their Russian allies.

I am a proud American Vietnam Veteran. I am a proud verbal defender of America and its ideals of Freedom. And I have come to realize that there is a concerted effort by the enemies of Freedom to downgrade America and the nation of Israel. I hope that there are other patriotic freedom loving Americans who remain faithful to these ideals of freedom in the day ahead in spite of this concerted effort to bash America and Israel through misleading articles.

Brethren,

I was asked in a private message, about a month back, if the individual could post this testimony of mine and my service in the Vietnam War in a printed article. I agreed.

As a public notice, if anybody, whether or not a member of Online Baptist, wants to post my personal testimony on Patriotism and my Vietnam War experience, on a website, newspaper article, institution newsletters, or any other article or media, they may do so. If they want to use my full name that is acceptable also. If further information is needed, or desired, please send me a message either by PM or as a reply in this thread.

Dr. Maurice Alan Young, Sgt., E-4, Honorable Discharge, USAF

Note on December 18, 2019: On June 1, 1976, the USAF changed the rank of "Sgt." (Sergeant E-4), to "SrA" (Senior Airman E-4).

May the Lord bless all of the veterans this Veterans Day.

If there is anybody that would like to give a public testimony on your Veteran spouse, yourself as a veteran, or  photos of a Veterans Day parade, or special Veterans Day service, please do so.

I served in the Coast Guard.

My dad served in the Air Force, Navy, and National Guard.

The Apostle Paul stated, "Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." 2 Timothy 2:3

In the following video, Sammy Davis, Medal of Honor Winner, is a living testimony of the how a good soldier fights for his country; the hardness that he must endure, the hardness of the training that he must endure, and the hardness of combat with the enemy, and the horrors of combat that he must endure.

As I listened to his personal testimony concerning his volunteering for service in Vietnam, his hard, demanding  drill Sgt., his hard labour in action as an artilleryman, and his hard service under combat, and his excruciating actions in rescuing fellow soldiers while terribly wounded, and his personal love for his country, than I remembered how we need to be good soldiers for our Lord and Saviour in the spiritual realm.
