In this episode of Dearest Suzie, we dive into an intense entry from my grandfather’s diary, where he details his first assault mission in Vietnam. In this mission, Popi describes transporting ARVN troops into a Viet Cong stronghold, facing enemy fire, and narrowly escaping danger thanks to gunship support.
Accompanied by a personal story of my own encounter with a Vietnam War exhibit at the National Infantry Museum, this episode highlights the tension, fear, and chaotic reality that soldiers like my grandfather experienced.
What’s Covered:
- Popi’s first assault mission and a well-executed ambush gone wrong.
- Gunships and the dangers of troop transport missions.
- A reflection on immersive war exhibits and their impact on visitors.
📷 Featured Photo: Troops jumping from a helicopter into a rice paddy, reminiscent of Popi’s description of his mission.
