This song is exactly how I feel all the time. I’m just Snowman old busted up Biker who has seen and been through so much. I miss the late 60’s and 70’s. That was the best era of life in my opinion
Everyday i think of my friends howie and billy died for nothing in a place called viet nam died for thier fellow soldiers both receiving the silver star for their heroics rip my friends you are not forgotten
Though I have never fought in a war, seen what you have seen, and felt what you have felt, one thing is for sure, your pain is my pain. Thank you for your service, even though I'm not an American, I'm british. Hang in there Sir, you are very much valued along with your friends. God bless.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Powerfully Sad Words😢 Haunting Song...Even When It First Came Out - I Was Young But This Song Was One Of Several That Stuck With Me During The Year My Brother Served In Vietnam. Because Of The High Security Nature Of His Job There - We Weren't Allowed Communications With Him For Most Of It - Or Allowed To Know If He Was OK, Or...What He Had Become Involved In Or...What We Had To Be Prepared To Hear...All His Mail Came Back To Us - Opened - No Answers - No Clues - NOTHING - For That Entire Year!😭 We Didn't Know He Was Alive Or Where He Had Been Till He - Thankfully - Came Home...The War In Vietnam Left Scars On These Men, On Their Families, On All Who Served There, On The Country, & On The People Of Vietnam That Will Never Fully Heal - THIS CANNOT BE FORGOTTEN! I Hope All Veterans Share What They Know & What They Can Before Departing This World - People DO Care, They D Wan't To Know - And They NEED To Hear! And I Thank Them All For Their Service To Our Country!🙏🇺🇸
Maureen am truly sorry for all the suffering your brother had to go through and still could be. Your family not knowing for a year I was a teenager in the 70s. My brother was in the navy but he didn't go to war they sent him to the navy school. My father fought in the South Pacific Japanese. Right up to the day he passed away. He never talked about it asked him about it. Always the same thing you don't want to know. And once it was I want it out of my head why the f would I put it in yours. After he passed I realized what he was trying to tell me. He drank a lot of beer everyday he always had a beer in his hand. Thank you for the service sacrifice your family and brother give to us all. GOD be with you all
Powerful words. I was a Vietnam War Kid (in Laos). I never understood the war until I migrated to the U.S. in 1976 and learned about the war later years in School & through documentary.
My dad was in army and I am so proud of him sadly my beautiful dad passed away I miss him every day but every year 11 of 11 I march for my dad and every soldier who died to give us all a better place to live I'm so proud to call carl johnson my dad I love you dad now and forever sleep tight dad xxxx
God bless you and know that your dad will greet you with the love that passes understanding when you pass from this life into the next to be with him again. Thank you for your sacrifice as a daughter of a hero.
I understand what you mean my dad and his two brothers were there I lost my dad from agent orange in 1990 stomach cancer , I miss him so much , My heart really goes to you and all our Vietnam soldiers , god bless you , much love ❤️🙏🏽🇺🇸
This is my favorite song of tribute to the fallen . I especially think it is a great tribute to my fallen generation who died in Vietnam. All those memories still haunt us. I knew many who died in the war. God bless them forever
Súper canción yo soy mexicano me da tanta nostalgia y tristeza ver tantísimas lápidas recordando a muchísimos jóvenes que dieron su vida a wue este país ( EEUU ) peleará por la libertad y contra el comunismo yo siempre quise pelear por esa causa y defender a esta gran nación siempre lo e hecho no comía este país lleno de súper ratas y corruptos ( México ) no importa wue me digan que estoy loco
Coming from Glasgow, I'd never have thought a pop song from a Glasgow band would mean so much to so many. I think it could be dedicated to soldiers everywhere but stands in time to Vietnam. Sadly, war goes on. Peace.
This song has been with me since it first came out. It's one of those songs that saids so much in such a little time. It's like the first time I heard it every time I play it. Wow
tears fill up my eyes every time I hear this song and such a beautiful video and God bless all who gave of themselves so we can be free thank you again
I’m crying listening to this beautiful song. Remembering all the boys that gave their lives for thiscountry’s Freedom. God Bless all the men and women who died or fought for you and Me!🙏🇺🇸💕. 10-20-20. RIP💕
A view from Canada. Thanks for posting this excellent video. I've been to the Presidio National Cemetery many times over the years and I've always been impressed and humbled by the place. It represents the best of the United States.
Spent 16 months in Vietnam,door gunner,it changed my life for ever more,I wonder what my life would have been like if had never seen what I did in Vietnam
I am so moved by your words. You fought for your country and for that I cannot thank you enough. My respect to you and I sincerely hope your life has been a good one. I realize your experience in Vietnam shaped who you are, never allowing you to return to the person that you were. Your courage defines a whole era of men at war. I wish you well. Nicole
Oh my god I’m crying so hard right now this is truly heartbreaking. I have had this song as one of the songs to be played at my funeral for years and this is such an emotional song. I reckon one of the best songs ever released
Miss Heather those are my exact wishes for myself to. I could tell that you're brilliant comment came straight from your heart and truly this is a special and wonderful song.
My father was a WWII POW in Germany. I lost him in2012. I hear his voice helping me through this life and sometimes I still cry for him. War molds a man for the rest of his life.
The most poignantly beautiful video of our veterans i have ever seen. There are no more words, just tears. Thank you for the video and heartfelt thanks to all our veterans.
It's all about the peace of the world...we can't maintaine the peace of the whole world and be at war at home....Order "MUST" be in our ranks first inorder to be fully organized. Peace Brother.
For me this song makes me think of my 18 year old brother who lost his life in Vietnam. It was August 12, 1968. I was only 5, but the hardest part for me has always what could have been. My father was never the same again afterwards.
Thank you for your video. It reflects the only remaining chapter in my life after serving my country from 1966 to 1998. Im smiling as I write this. GOD BLESS AMERICA
I have never seen this video to this song before omg did it make my cry to all the families that lost someone they loved my heart goes out to each and everyone of you I'm a mother and I no it would break my heart in two if I lost one of my beautiful children or my grandchildren love to you all
If the past generations only understood what these men and women endured for our freedom perhaps they would open their history books rather than their game boy. A salute to every fallen solider and for all that returned home only to continue their battle their own scarred memories and bodies. One thing stands out to me....I wonder what each solider would say about the worlds conditions now? Bless every heart that fought.
These men are all heroes who were called to duty and while all gave some, some gave all. God bless those who fought for our country no matter what the reasons were. May there never be another Vietnam war.
Those days ,the Vietnam was a teenager….. now 73 …from the Netherlands…still remember the 60e 70e music… look at these video’s ….. unforgettable music but also the images on TV those days…. So the same….. whish all who came back from this nightmare happiness ,luck, and above all love and strength…💫💫💫🙏🍀🍀🍀
The world isn't a bad place, the people in power make it that way, i have total respect for those that do what they suppose is their duty, but none for the cowards that send them. Please don't think i am being disrespectful to the brave men a woman that have gone...i'm not.
I'm in the UK and had a cousin In the US,in Vietnam aged 19 I guess , after running to get on a chopper,two of his buddies were shot dead in front of him ,he was haunted for years with night news mares ,one night went out of the house in the snow and shot himself,RIP Roy 🙏
A sad time in american history I was there in 68 2 of my childhood friend came back in pine boxes they never had a chance to enjoy life to all the soldiers who served there thank you and God bless
Reminds me of my Dad he did 2 tours in 1964 and 1968 , he died 1990 from agent orange this song just brings back memories of him and other ones like him ,he served in the Vietnam war ,he was a soldier in the United States Army😢
butters 1159 , yes it was ordered by a general in the army whose son also died from the agent orange spray like my father it caused stomach cancer, and yes you are correct It killed vegetation so the enemy can’t hide, my brother and I were lucky we were born before he went to Vietnam , but people who served in Vietnam who had kids who were born after serving a tour in Vietnam some of their grandkids or kids have birth deffects from the spray
butters 1159 thank you also for replying and. And taking the time to show interest in what these poor soldiers and innocent Vietnamese children and their families went through also , please be safe with this Covid-19 🙏
A close friend of mine died of the same thing, he was a few years older, and I use to ride with him and his son, your dad is a hero in my eyes, just like everyone else that served in the Vietnam War, republican of... God bless your family..
That really hit hard - brought back many memories of my Shipmates that didn't come back and many more that have left this world throughout the last 50 or so years. Through the tears i still have a fond heart for the memories that they gave me when we were serving together. DD878 1969-1973
Although I never was in combat I did serve during the cold war from 1976-1979. Two years in Frankfurt, Germany 143rd Signal Battalion 3rd Armored Division, Company B. and one year stateside. I remember we had a 3 year calendar, the day that I would get onto the freebird back to the states seem so long away, I hated Germany, but I do miss the comradery between my brothers in arms. I was young then, I'm soon to be 67 the Good Lord willing, if I had to do it again, the answer would be affirmative, but I would have a different mindset, and I would have probably made it a career and retired at 43 yrs old. This song is so apropos mostly for us in our upper years. God Bless America, and Long live the Republic.
I am a Cold War Vet too. I was in 3rd Infantry in Germany from 1980-1982. Cold War vets are often overlooked but we just did not sit around all day doing nothing. We trained hard and spent a lot of time in the field preparing for war. It didn’t come but we were ready. I was Proud To Serve.
Beautifully done with sensitivity...Those of us who were young during that special time can share the deep feeling this song evokes.....How can anyone nay this.....Punks
I listened to her in the evenings with my beloved Liddieth, today she is no more, my tears run down my cheeks, listening to her in Solitude . Eddy Porras
brother 54 years respect a Marine walk home my veitnam wall of my walk of a war 9 sons a song of there familys there familys my fucking boots my letter my brother
THE WORLD IS A BAD PLACE A SAD PLACE A TERRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE BUT I DON'T WANNA DIE. I'M CHANGING, EVERYTHING AROUND ME. SO IT'S UP TO US TO CHANGE AND MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE AND TO ACHIEVE THAT WE NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR CREATOR AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS AND OBSERVE HIS MESSAGE OF PEACE ON EARTH GOODWILL TO ALL REMEMBERING THAT WE WERE CREATED IN HIS OWN IMAGE{WE LOOK LIKE H.I.M AND HE WANTS US TO BE LIKE HIM. LIVING IN PEACE AND LOVE AND HARMONY THEN WE WOULD TRULY BE ABLE TO PROCLAIM-WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD. ALL IT TAKES IS THE DESIRE AND THOSE OF US WHO WANT IT NEED TO PROCLAIM VOCIFEROUSLY THAT'S WHAT WE WANT PEACE ON EARTH GOODWILL TO ALL. HAILE SELASSIE I JAH RAS TAFARI THE ALMIGHTY. SELAH.
A perfect tribute to those that served and gave all. Still brings tears and the question of why we continue to defend our freedoms and send our young to wars.
Butch..."Thank you for your service" and double willingness to serve in harms way...You are a true soldier and a very brave warrior. Again I thank you.
Thank you butch, you are a hero in my eyes not only that you made it back, but to served 2 tours. My god man. I can't even imagine what you went through. but I do salute you!! God bless.
Each of these Soldiers Paid the Utimate Price to Protect Our Country, Constitution, & Our Freedoms. Are We Willing to do the Same In 2022. Songs says Everything.
No other song reminds me of the Vietnam War era here in the USA than this one does. While I didn't serve there, I served later. I had friends from HS who did serve there and thank God, they made it home. But they didn't come without emotional scars. The American people treated Vietnam vets very badly and I think the way they treat latter day vets is an attempt to undo that. Regardless, may God bless those gallant souls who fought and died there and may we all remember that in war, no one really wins.
Amen!...this is a very sad part of America's history ..... not to mention all the riots throug-out this same period.... And...I was in everyone of them except the last one in LA, Calif...I was out of the service but I watched it on TV...It really got ugly there...The Mississippi riot was by far the worst forour troops....This was our first encounter (riot) and our first chance to put into action the skills we learned...and.. how to reserve our anger and not think of our discomforts and somewhat reluctance to martial up our countries citizens. Read my in-put above
Paul I'm from the UK and even I seen the disgusting way Vietnam vets got treated .... It took the likes of the first Gulf war to start to make a change
I couldn't agree with you more. Although my service during that exact time doesn't do justice to what my brothers and sisters went through. I say to them all "welcome home"
Sean Dolan has done a video using this masterpiece and I cried harder than ever. It’s such a powerful video makes you realise what so many have sacrificed. Love it look it up see if you agree it’s reflections of my life with Sean Dolan video. Mind blowing
I joined the service in 1971-1980 and had a Vietnam experience. Not the best you can have. Welcome home, Brothers! We served our country and stay proud.
Milyen nagy üzenete van a nótának! Neked kell változni,változtatni,hogy a világ is megváltozhasson körülötted! Mindenkinek olyan a világa,amilyennek teremti!

Dean Ford - Wikipedia Dean Ford, 73 (born Thomas McAleese; 5 September 1945 - 31 December 2018) was a Scottish singer and songwriter best known for his tenure as lead vocalist and frontman of the beat pop group Marmalade from 1966 to 1974. Ford (credited as McAleese) co-wrote the group's worldwide hit "Reflections of My Life" with fellow band member Junior Campbell. "Reflections of My Life" has sold more than two million units globally, and in 1998 the writers were awarded a Special Citation of Achievement by BMI for attaining radio broadcast performances in excess of one million in the U.S. alone. Death Ford died in Los Angeles on 31 December 2018, at the age of 73 from complications relating to Parkinson's disease. His death was announced by his daughter, Tracey McAleese-Gorman, who described him as 'a gentle soul and great father'. His daughter died less than two years later in November 2020 in London. RIP Dean Ford. Thank you for all you gave to this world with your beautiful voice.❤
This song is so right now with the horror in Ukraine. I am from Vietnam generation. Here we go again God bless Ukraine and all the victims human and the animals too. This is such an insult to humanity God help us all.
My favorite song of all time. However, I feel guilty for the memories it brings back. I had a very low lottery number in the draft, but had a 4S student deferment so I didn't have to go to Vietnam. It wasn't fair and I admit it.
I had just gotten back from Vietnam when I heard this song, it stopped me in my tracks.
RIP Sgt. Jerry Heskett, KIA 1969 Quang Nam, Vietnam.
I get it, Brother. This came out a few months after I returned to 'the world' and it gave me a lot to think about.
🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
Welcome home, Brother. And thank you for your service. From a fellow vet of Iraq and Afganistan.
GOD BLESS U ..
THANK YOU FOR KEEPING ME SAFE & PROTECTING MY FRREDOM

This song is exactly how I feel all the time. I’m just Snowman old busted up

Coming from Glasgow, I'd never have thought a pop song from a Glasgow band would mean so much to so many. I think it could be dedicated to soldiers everywhere but stands in time to Vietnam. Sadly, war goes on. Peace.
You are so right my friend.. peace
MUSIC HEALS🎶🤗✌️
Hi
This song has been with me since it first came out. It's one of those songs that saids so much in such a little time. It's like the first time I heard it every time I play it. Wow
RIP Ssgt. John Boyd Vietnam '69 & '71
A prayer from me to Ssgt John Boyd
I salute your friend too!🙏💕

You are a hero Daniel Newport, ain't nothing going to change that, and I hope that you are a proud u.s.a veteran. WELCOME HOME!!
I am so moved by your words. You fought for your country and for that I cannot thank you enough. My respect to you and I sincerely hope your life has been a good one.

Welcome back Home Gunney❤
Oh my god I’m crying so hard right now this is truly heartbreaking. I have had this song as one of the songs to be played at my funeral for years and this is such an emotional song. I reckon one of the best songs ever released
Miss Heather those are my exact wishes for myself to. I could tell that you're brilliant comment came straight from your heart and truly this is a special and wonderful song.
Same here. I want this played at my funeral along with The Pretender by Jackson Browne. Just seems fitting.
Sincere salute to our vets , you folks are great !!!!🌹
God Bless our Veterans....!
My father was a WWII POW in Germany. I lost him in2012. I hear his voice helping me through this life and sometimes I still cry for him. War molds a man for the rest of his life.
Hermoso homenaje a tantos caídos en combate. Me llegó al corazón. Dios los tenga en su GLORIA
Mine too
no war need peace
The most poignantly beautiful video of our veterans i have ever seen. There are no more words, just tears. Thank you for the video and heartfelt thanks to all our veterans.
Thank~You For your Kind words kdl28 & Peace be with You
It's all about the peace of the world...we can't maintaine the peace of the whole world and be at war at home....Order "MUST" be in our ranks first inorder to be fully organized. Peace Brother.
For me this song makes me think of my 18 year old brother who lost his life in Vietnam. It was August 12, 1968. I was only 5, but the hardest part for me has always what could have been. My father was never the same again afterwards.

I have never seen this video to this song before omg did it make my cry to all the families that lost someone they loved my heart goes out to each and everyone of you I'm a mother and I no it would break my heart in two if I lost one of my beautiful children or my grandchildren love to you all
to all you young people.... YOU HAD TO BE THERE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS SONG MEANS AND IS ABOUT. BUT YOU NEVER WILL WHY YOU WERE NEVER TOLD.
This Tragic History Must Be Told - Truthfully - Passed On To Those Who Can Choose Not To Repeat It....
If the past generations only understood what these men and women endured for our freedom perhaps they would open their history books rather than their game boy. A salute to every fallen solider and for all that returned home only to continue their battle their own scarred memories and bodies. One thing stands out to me....I wonder what each solider would say about the worlds conditions now?
Bless every heart that fought.
God bless those Americans who gave their life so others may live. How can you not love and respect them.
Many of those boys died crying for their mothers. War has no glory.
According to a study, the most common last words of dying soldiers in the field are their crying out for their mother.
That's What Those In Wars Always Come Back To - Where Life Began - Why Don't We Respect LIFE!😢😭
So true! God Bless Them All!💕
weep everytime I hear this semper fi 1970
Same here brother same here.
me too semper fi 1969

USA Veterans, the greatest warriors the world will ever know........................................
Uma bela Melodia que marcou o fim da guerra do Vietnam com a derrota dos USA e a adoção desta música pelos Veteran's War da guerra.

I remember we had a 3 year calendar, the day that I would get onto the freebird back to the states seem so long away, I hated Germany, but I do miss the comradery between my brothers in arms. I was young then, I'm soon to be 67 the Good Lord willing, if I had to do it again, the answer would be affirmative, but I would have a different mindset, and I would have probably made it a career and retired at 43 yrs old. This song is so apropos mostly for us in our upper years. God Bless America, and Long live the Republic.
I am a Cold War Vet too. I was in 3rd Infantry in Germany from 1980-1982. Cold War vets are often overlooked but we just did not sit around all day doing nothing. We trained hard and spent a lot of time in the field preparing for war. It didn’t come but we were ready. I was Proud To Serve.

YOU HAD TO BE THERE TO UNDERSTAND.
THE WORLD IS A BAD PLACE A SAD PLACE A TERRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE BUT I DON'T WANNA DIE. I'M CHANGING, EVERYTHING AROUND ME. SO IT'S UP TO US TO CHANGE AND MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE AND TO ACHIEVE THAT WE NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR CREATOR AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS AND OBSERVE HIS MESSAGE OF PEACE ON EARTH GOODWILL TO ALL REMEMBERING THAT WE WERE CREATED IN HIS OWN IMAGE{WE LOOK LIKE H.I.M AND HE WANTS US TO BE LIKE HIM. LIVING IN PEACE AND LOVE AND HARMONY THEN WE WOULD TRULY BE ABLE TO PROCLAIM-WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD. ALL IT TAKES IS THE DESIRE AND THOSE OF US WHO WANT IT NEED TO PROCLAIM VOCIFEROUSLY THAT'S WHAT WE WANT PEACE ON EARTH GOODWILL TO ALL. HAILE SELASSIE I JAH RAS TAFARI THE ALMIGHTY. SELAH.
A perfect tribute to those that served and gave all. Still brings tears and the question of why we continue to defend our freedoms and send our young to wars.
Sad and beautiful

Wow, what a visual wonder! 💔💔💔💔
My son is in the Army he is a Ranger and I’m scared for him everyday 🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️
No other song reminds me of the Vietnam War era here in the USA than this one does. While I didn't serve there, I served later. I had friends from HS who did serve there and thank God, they made it home. But they didn't come without emotional scars. The American people treated Vietnam vets very badly and I think the way they treat latter day vets is an attempt to undo that. Regardless, may God bless those gallant souls who fought and died there and may we all remember that in war, no one really wins.
Paul Connors I did and it's as real now as it was then
Amen!...this is a very sad part of America's history ..... not to mention all the riots throug-out this same period.... And...I was in everyone of them except the last one in LA, Calif...I was out of the service but I watched it on TV...It really got ugly there...The Mississippi riot was by far the worst forour troops....This was our first encounter (riot) and our first chance to put into action the skills we learned...and.. how to reserve our anger and not think of our discomforts and somewhat reluctance to martial up our countries citizens. Read my in-put above
Paul I'm from the UK and even I seen the disgusting way Vietnam vets got treated .... It took the likes of the first Gulf war to start to make a change
God bless you Marc and WELCOME HOME my brother.
I couldn't agree with you more. Although my service during that exact time doesn't do justice to what my brothers and sisters went through. I say to them all "welcome home"
I am not related to any of the vets but this song really tugged my heart string.
Same ere 👏👏👏👍😉
Emocionante. Obrigado soldados. God bless all. Rest in peace.
To all the U.K Forces on land, sea and air THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICES

Sean Dolan has done a video using this masterpiece and I cried harder than ever. It’s such a powerful video makes you realise what so many have sacrificed. Love it look it up see if you agree it’s reflections of my life with Sean Dolan video. Mind blowing
I joined the service in 1971-1980 and had a Vietnam experience. Not the best you can have. Welcome home, Brothers! We served our country and stay proud.

Milyen nagy üzenete van a nótának!
Neked kell változni,változtatni,hogy a világ is megváltozhasson körülötted!
Mindenkinek olyan a világa,amilyennek teremti!
És,jól sejettem,a -vietnami-háború értelmetlenségére gondolt,ezért vágyik az Otthonra!
Gyönyörű nóta,kemény évek a politika kapzsisága miatt!😢Köszönöm!

This song is so right now with the horror in Ukraine. I am from Vietnam generation. Here we go again
God bless Ukraine and all the victims human and the animals too. This is such an insult to humanity
God help us all.
Beautiful number, Beautiful video
Want more sadness? The wartime ratio of civilian deaths to military deaths is 2 to 1.

a walk a sniper a war ateam to my brother 55 years the world of fathers my brother a song our boots my tour
My favorite song of all time. However, I feel guilty for the memories it brings back. I had a very low lottery number in the draft, but had a 4S student deferment so I didn't have to go to Vietnam. It wasn't fair and I admit it.
Es una melodía que hasta hace llorar al escucharla
