What They Don't Tell You About Vietnam Until You're There

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Vietnam veteran Ed, who enlisted in the Marines in 1965 with a mission to “save the people of South Vietnam from the communists.” What followed was a journey that changed his life forever. Ed shares vivid stories from his time in Vietnam: life on the fire base, surviving a midnight attack, and the inner conflict between his faith and the realities of war. He opens up about his battle with PTSD, his path to healing through service at the VA, and the meaning he’s found in helping fellow veterans. This episode was filmed in partnership with Utah Honor Flight, part of the National Honor Flight Network, which gives veterans the trip of a lifetime to visit the memorials built in their honor. 👉 Learn more or support the mission: UtahHonorFlight.org 👉 Find your local Honor Flight Hub: honorflight.org 🎧 Subscribe for more authentic veteran stories and human experiences. 💬 Comment below to thank Ed for his service or share your own story.
