This man has garnered among the highest views from all the interviews I have thus far posted. He is clearly a great storyteller which is why so many have stayed to watch his story as it unfolds. William Ehrhardt is a Vietnam War veteran, author, and poet. He served in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War, and his experiences during the conflict have heavily influenced his writing. After returning from the war, Ehrhardt began writing poetry as a way to process and express his emotions about the war and its impact on his life. His work often reflects the raw emotions and harsh realities of war, exploring themes like grief, loss, and the struggle to adjust to civilian life after serving in combat. Ehrhardt's writings have been praised for their honesty, emotional depth, and ability to capture the complexities of the Vietnam War and its aftermath. In addition to his writing, Ehrhardt has participated in various panels and discussions about the Vietnam War and its effects on veterans, helping to raise awareness about the challenges faced by those who have served in the military. Here is his background of service - W. D. Ehrhardt served with 1st Battalion, 1st Marines, from early February 1967 to late February 1968. His service number is 2279361. He holds the Purple Heart Medal, Navy Combat Action Ribbon, Presidential Unit Citation (2), Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Republic of Vietnam Service Medal, Cross of Gallantry Meritorious Unit Citation, Civic Action Meritorious Unit Citation, Vietnamese Campaign Medal. The last three were all awarded by the now-extinct government of the Republic of Vietnam. He received the PUC and the two Vietnamese unit citations as a member of 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment.
