My wife ordered this video (Guided Missile Cruisers & Their Sailors) for me. I want to thank you for offering it for sale. My father was on the USS Little Rock CLG-4 (which is featured in the video) from 1959 to 1962. I served on the USS Albany CG-10, which replaced the Little Rock. I decommissioned the Albany. I was one of the last 10 guys to walk off that ship. Watching this video and learning a little more history was wonderful. I'm going to take it to my dad's house and watch it with him. Thanks.
BART C., Norfolk VA September, 2012

Honestly, when I was watching vids on YouTube and learned of your site (www.militaryvideo.com), I've been so excited to find these videos because my Dad was in the USAF for 30 years going back to WW2 on B26 and then later in SE Asia in Thailand during Vietnam. My husband served in Vietnam also for three years with the Seabees. My Dad has passed away six years ago and he never spoke about his time in these wars and as he was there for three years also. I wanted to understand and know about these years that were a complete mystery to me then. Also my husband has just recently been able to talk about Vietnam and when I showed him your catalog, he pored over it and picked out several that he wanted and is looking forward to seeing them and is ready to go back via these videos. Thank you so much for providing them for all the veterans and their families to allow us a window into those years that changed their lives, and ours, and to maybe be able to understand what this war meant to them and all those who served.
MARY P., Papillion, NE May, 2012
