Episode 5 is an interview with Thomas "Sparrow" Moad.  Sparrow was the most junior grade Flame Tank Commander in Vietnam.  As a PFC (Private First Class) he was given command of a Flame Tank he nicknamed Aftermath, a reference to the Rolling Stones.  This is a fascinating walk in the boots of a warrior in a unique and frightening weapon of war that was equipped with napalm and a match.  Gives a whole new meaning to "crispy critters".

Our grateful acknowledgement to Country Joe for the use of his song Agent Orange.

Episode 4 of Tracking Our History is a talk with John Wear, President of USMC Vietnam Tankers Association. This is all the "hot scoop" on the USMC Tankers Association, founding, reunions, work, and membership.  Music is graciously provided by Mutt Cooper, writer/performer, and made available through one of our own, Wally Young.

This will be a unique listening opportunity.  Throughout the Vietnam War the focus, justifiably, has always been on the military.  In this interview we will hear from a family member whose brother was killed in Vietnam, the brothers experiences at the time of the incident, and how it has affected his life since.  This is a remarkable look into the heart and soul of a relative of a Vietnam veteran.  This is "don't miss stuff".  Music is used by permission from Concord Music. Thank you Wolfgang and LeAnn.

Come along with Roger "Blues"  Unland as he drives up to Con Thien and back to Dong Ha.  Along the way we will learn a lot about the Marine who was among the best tank drivers in Vietnam.  Listen in as he salutes another driver who "Blues" considers one of the best drivers as well.  Once again our thanks to Country Joe MacDonald and Bill Belmont for the music they so graciously donated to our podcasts.
