Very sad to hear that Mr. Haefer died the 22 of January 2021. I'm grateful that he had this opportunity to tell the story about his time in the Army.

Hal passed away 01/22/21. R.I.P., SOF warrior. Martha Raye was buried at Ft. Bragg and an honorary LtCol. in the USMC.

I have read many books written by people that served in Vietnam. Mr. Haefer's interview was by far the most informative about the war. Like a lot of other people I joined the military while the war was going on because I felt it was my duty. I was in the Navy on an aircraft carrier and did not see what was happening on the ground. The service members that served and were wounded or died over there deserve our utmost respect.

Been s huge fan of this series. Thank you for expressing us a glimpse into the time of the Nam war. I'm the son of a Nam vet who unfortunately passed from M.S. 20 yrs ago this May. I miss you dad. 53'-00'. Salute soldiers.

Thank you for your service. I love to listen to these testimonies.
I was only 9 years old when Vietnam was happening.
Several of my uncles and aunt served in the military during Vietnam.

My respect to all who served.

Mr. Hal Haefer, you have the best eye contact I have seen. Thank you for going there, glad you made it back in one piece, thanks for telling your story. I thought Darryl Ehrlick, the interviewer, did a fine job.

This gentleman seems to have a deeper, more historically informed & nuanced understanding of Vietnam than most of the vets interviewed in this series. They're all great, but this fellow is especially insightful. They knew what they were doing getting him into MI.

Outstanding information from the people who were there - About the environment too - details that you don't get in history books, especially as time passes.

Hal Haefer is one of few that have his stoic straight lipped facial expression, that tells you nothing, only that you feel nothing will surprise him. His hands tell what his face won't. His remembrance of VN has no chronological order but when he settles on a memory, the accuracy and details are amazing. So proud of the flute that no one has. Probably as proud as the old man that brought a bag of life saving rice home. Great story and Veteran.

This gentleman is very instructive, especially if you listen to what he says, in between the lines. Thank you for your service and communication Sir. Wish I could buy a copy of his video. I have watched over 100 of these videos, this is one of my favorites.

I have such a deep admiration for these men. Mr. Haefer clearly dedicated himself to all tasks assigned. We could not ask for a better person for his assigned missions.

shellmanbrandon

This is by far the best interview I've seen of this series. And have seen a lot of them!

Incredibly articulate man. Clearly very very smart. Fascinating story. A man who did his best in difficult times. He was right to hold his head up high and be proud of what he did regardless of the overall ending.
RIP
