Vietnam War veteran Paul Cimmino talks about his experiences. Cimmino served in the U.S. Army during Vietnam. He was raised in southern California, but has lived in Montana for several decades.

I'm now a 74-year-old Vietnam vet who was fortunate to have served even further behind enemy lines than you have. There used to be an industry catering to servicemen changing into civies as soon as possible after getting of base. Like you, I have gotten more 'thank yous' in my last 5 to 10 years than the previous 40 years. Thanks for sharing... serving God until He comes again,

I love these stories. No two are alike. This guy is an amazing storyteller. Thank you, Paul Cimmino!

I’ve listened to many of these interviews Paul’s interview adds a unique perspective

[leonbogon]

been watching various veterans pour out there souls for 3 days and still watching-thank you for interviewing these heroes and bringing out there stories--and thank you veterans for your service

I was 10 years old in 1969 and witnessed military personnel returning back to their stomping grounds in Elizabeth, NJ....I never heard these soldiers speak of their experiences until I started viewing this channel. I am in awe and shock at how these guys had to carry out this political war and I have developed an even stronger respect for their service.

His story was one of the best at bringing out the funny parts of the journey through war.

Fantastic story And it goes to prove that even those who served in Vietnam and had a job in the rear were in a dangerous place also. As all of us who made it back no matter what your job was it will always be, as he said, in your heart. It will always be in my heart as it is in his even after 50 years, still brings up tears at times. Your never too old to cry.

Shout out to CA my stomping grounds. I just started listening to the Vietnam voices. My brothers are Vietnam Veterans. One was Army infantry 70. He has it all stuffed down. He never got over "the wall" for help. I would love for him to here these tapes. He's in good own a home together. 💪❤✌🙏🇺🇸
Special blessing for the Vietnam Veteran
❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✌✌✌✌🇺🇸

This guy's a very intelligent human being. It is amazing after all the war he's been exposed to. He's a great asset to the State of California & the Italian American people. I loved hearing him give his story. I thank him for serving our country.

I’ve been watching through these for the last couple weeks. This one has been the most insightful. Thank you for doing this project! I am going to use these videos to teach my kids about this war.

[teddysalad]

Welcome home Paul. And thank you for serving.

[aikishugyo]

What a great interview, respect. Only took about a minute to figure out Mr. Cimmino is a very intelligent gentleman, only reinforced throughout the rest of the interview.

[jamescimmino]

Cousin Paul.... Great stories... Thank u for your service & sacrifice. Proud of u, Cuz !

[stewartcaldwell]

I actually remember the smell of napalm. I got oversprayed by Agent Orange too. 30% disability.
50 years, but no adverse effects, thank God. Oddly, I have a PhD in psychology too.
Many past patients have died prematurely. The war still isn't over for a dwindling number of survivors. Thanks.

[ThankyouItsallgood]

Respect to this brave kind humble soldier

[hesedken]

I have to admire the bravery of the men and women who went through the Vietnam war. Many of them never even wanted to go. Others joined. I think they all found it was different than what they expected. Thanks for your service.

[wolfofrhodeislandx]

Thank you for your service Paul. You are the last of the true heros.

[w.gordonfocht]

Paul... write a book... put everything in it.

[timanderson]

I've watched about half of this excellent series, but, so far, this is the best. Paul Cimmino is great! I think he is completely honest about his service and doesn't exaggerate or underplay his experience in Viet Nam. I was amazed to find out that he's a therapist, which I'm sure he does a very good job.

[SlapChop]

I've been watching all of these videos for over a week now...just when you think your life is bad you hear about what these brave souls had to go through.I will never take for granted the life and things that I have ...Thank you for your service Sir.
