  I the late 70s as a young rookie police officer in Ruston Louisiana I encountered Roy Benavides on a traffic stop. He was very intoxicated. I arrested him and took him in for DWI. My supervisor Lt Charles McIntyre began asking him questions about his destination and military service. After a call to Benavides’ commanding officer we learned that he was on his way to DC for hearings pertaining to his Medal of Honor. My Lieutenant and I “unarrested “ Roy. We took him to a local motel and tucked him in. We had the wrecker service deliver his vehicle to the motel. He was the perfect gentleman during the whole ordeal. That was the last we heard of him until a few years later I opened the Shreveport Times. The top story and picture was of Roy receiving his long-awaited honor. I consider it an honor to have had met him even if it was unusually circumstances <br>Donald Kimbell

  If his story doesn&apos;t make you stop and think that things can always be worse, you need to re-evaluate your priorities

  Hello,<br><br>My name is Kathy Mueller and SSG Lloyd “Frenchy” Mousseau was my father. &nbsp;I just finished listening to the last episode of Six Hours in Hell and wanted to thank you for the care you took in telling the story. Since 2000, more and more information has been revealed to me about that incredible battle. And while, it was difficult to listen to, I am grateful for the existence of these videos. I knew that the final moments of the story would be some of the most difficult- and it was- but it was beautifully done. <br><br>I appreciate your actors, the dialog, and the great narration. <br><br>Without Roy’s heroism I’m not sure I would have ever learned as much about 2 May 1968 as I know today. <br><br>One of my greatest disappointments is that I never met Roy. I did not know of his existence until 2000 and he had passed away. &nbsp;However, I have had the opportunity to meet many of the pilots, Leroy’s sons, families of those that passed, and Brian O’Connor. To hear them spoken of in your videos gave me even more love and admiration for them. <br><br>The end of episode 3 with Roy speaking was beautiful and made me love him even more. <br><br>Please thank Parker for doing such a fabulous job portraying my father. <br><br>God bless you in your continued endeavors and thank you again.

  If only there were more people like Roy. &nbsp;I thank all veterans, for their sacrifices for our freedom. &nbsp;Thanks to Roy&apos;s daughter. &nbsp;I cried &nbsp;watching this.

  The best version I&apos;ve ever heard regarding this legendary soldier.... My godfather was a medivac pilot who was shot down twice and by the grace of God he made it back home when so many before him did not.... I&apos;m speechless and in awe

  I&apos;m gonna be completely honest, I see a lot of terrible things and am often desensitized from certain things. But when I read that letter from Roy&apos;s daughter, I got so choked up I nearly started crying. This production quality deserves so much more than the meagre views it gets, and I hope this channel blows up.

  This was a rollercoaster ride of a story. &nbsp;I found myself laughing at the dark humor of Roy, and genuinely moved at his dedication to his fellows.<br>May he Rest In Peace.

  I met MSG Benevidez. He was invited to give a speech at my school, NMMI. He spoke of initiative, perseverence, and honour among the military brotherhood. He related a brief story when he was in Nam to make his point. He walked a bit stiffly due to his injuries that never quite healed, but was a very humble man. He answered cadets&apos; queries and encouraged them to keep camaraderie. My school awarded him an honourary degree.
