My favorite of these interviews so far. I watched/ listened to this man several times. He seems to see/understand everything from multiple angles. Intense, very intelligent, honest. Just a great interview, thank you.

Different than many Vietnam interviews, Bob is a strategic thinker that provided an intelligent analysis of a complicated situation. One of the most interesting interviews that I’ve watched. Bob, thank you for your service and for simply “doing your job “ and doing it with both honor and character.

When i turned 18, i went for my physical and later i enlisted in the Army, and volunteered to go to Vietnam, i did two tours there because i wanted. I now suffer from Agent Orange exposure and had a massive heart attack about 14 years ago, i also suffer with PTSD. I have an Aneurysm on the heart, i am on borrowed time right now. I still have ties with the country of Vietnam and the people there. I got into it by accident, but I teach English to the kids and teachers there everyday for the last 14 years now. I do it fr FREE 7 days a week and i love it and the kids. Many of these kids call me "Daddy" "Grandpa" "Brother" And "Uncle" I adore these kids, from 8 years old up to 45 years old because the people want to learn English so bad. I know my time is limited now, but if I had to d it again, knowing what i know today, I would still go back and do it all again.

Mr Sorensen thank you very much for your experience and service to our nation during those crazy years. I was ten years after you, not even close to what you went through. Daryl thank you for a great interview.

I didn't catch what rank he said he was but he comes off as a very level headed non-commissioned officer. He gave a very professional & detailed description of what his responsibilities were. I give him my utmost respect for what he did over there. Because of men like him I can still wake up in a free land.

Your story is so interesting. I spent two tours over there in I corps. I too read a lot of history of vietnam. Take care.

Though I think the whole war was a sham and waste of precious lives, it in no way diminishes the bravery and effort of those who ended up fighting there. I don't think I could have done what these vets did. Glad you guys made it home alive to tell your stories, and of the ones who didn't.
