Copyright: American Prairie Filmworks 2019 WARNING: This video contains much offensive language and much vulgarity. Even so, Al's story is absolutely compelling, historic, and even emotionally touching if you watch all the way to the end.

Al relates his boot camp experience in San Diego, infantry training at Camp Pendleton, travel to Vietnam by troop transport ship, training and R&R in Okinawa and his horrific combat experience in the First Battle of Khe Sanh (often referred to as The Hill Fights).
