The Wall Song is a tribute born out of the kindred creative spirits of poet Judy Gorman King and songwriters Mitch Townley and Brad Dunse. Mitch heard Judy present her poem, The Spirit Of The Wall, at a Nashville benefit for homeless veterans in March, 2008. She gave him permission to use the poem as the inspirational foundation for the song. Mitch invited his good friend, singer/songwriter Brad Dunse to collaborate with him and the project was underway. The Wall Song was recorded in Nashville in July, 2008 by artist J.P. Williams and produced by Chip Martin.
We pray that The Wall Song will honor our surviving and fallen heroes of the Vietnam War as well as any who have served in the Armed Forces.

Those who disrespect the American flag, have never been handed a folded one.🪖🇺🇸
Thank you. Peace.

AMEN!!!
I know some that fought & lived. Would have stayed gone if they knew people had no respect for them. They should not have been disrespected. I have so much more to say but can't think of any nice words for those that disrespect the ones that put their lives on the line for the ungrateful just as much as the grateful.

It took 25 years after I got home from Vietnam before the first person said “Welcome Home” to me. Some young girl saw me wearing my uniform in the airport when I was coming home & she called me a Son of a bitch! I told her, I’m not your brother, she went ballistic. As a combat veteran I can tell you from experience, there is nothing glorious about war. We deserved better when we came home.
In 1999 I finally felt that I was ready to visit the Wall. I found out I wasn't ready. It's the first time my wife ever saw me break down and cry. It's now 2024, 25 years have passed and I'm still not ready to return. I'm not ashamed to admit that even this song brings tears to my eyes. RIP my brothers.
Go back. Say their names.
@BillFullerton-yc3px No shame in it, welcome home sir.
I remember the ones that I could not get to. Their names are there. I live with that survivor guilt. That is one time I was able to go but never more.
I took my dad to The Wall in Oct 2012. It was his wish since returning from Vietnam to visit the wall. He layed a wreath at the base for his cousin who died there. As we walked away I had him turn around and watch as the people who were passing by stopped and read his wreath - looked at the picture of his cousin within the wreath. I told him: More than just you will be remembering him today dad. RIP Danny Crothers you are not forgotten
i come from a very long line of military men...and women......my grandfathers fought for this country and then they fought again...in wwI...wwII and now our sons are fighting again...we are native americans and we are still here....and we respect the dead warriors always..and the living...
Somewhere on that wall is a Name of a Man who died to save My Daddy's life. If it weren't for him I wouldn't be here. Thank you! And God Bless!
I’ll be 74 soon and it’s my hope and prayer to visit the wall before the Lord takes me home!
Hi. I am 12 and I just wanted to say thank you who served and died for my country.
The men and women who served in all our wars were the greatest of their generations.
On behalf of myself, Mitch and Brad thank you so much If you are a veteran thank you and welcome home
My Dad served 2 tours in Vietnam. He came home. But he died of cancer at 44 in 1985. Dr's say it was Agent orange that got him. He never told me any stories of his time over there. He wouldn't talk about it. I have walked the wall and seen the items left behind by loved ones and friends. God bless every name on that wall.
Welcome home and thank each of you for your service and thank you for your responses to our song and video
I'm an Aussie Vietnam Vet and I wrote a few poems about Vietnam. One of them is The Wall dedicated to that black granite wall with all those names on it. You did your duty, rest in peace my fallen American brothers.
On this Memorial Day 2024 ...I Remember and Honor my Neighbor ....HENRY " FRANKIE" EVANS ...WHO WAS KILLED IN ACTION ON 18 MAY 1969 ...AT FSB HUSKEY .....18 YEARS OLD ...52 DAYS IN COUNTRY ....LOVE YOU FRANKIE ....
RIP--Walter Soutar, my good friend and comrade in arms--- Vietnam 1966/68, I came home, and cried my eyes out seeing your name on THE WALL.
THANK YOU! I am a Proud daughter of a Vietnam Vet (died when he was 48) that war killed him just as if he were on the battlefield...The Vietnam Vets did not get the welcome home they should of, SO WELCOME HOME, THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! YOUR ROCK!
God bless you.
My Native Indigenous dad fought in Vietnam and Korea war I lost him in 2005 I wanted to meet up with some Vietnam vets and Korean vets before I die see I miss having a dad I miss having a dad tell me stories and sing to me I miss singing to my dad writing poems for him wishing him happy birthday happy Father's Day happy veterans Day Merry Christmas happy New Year's
I hold the Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts, and the Combat Infantryman's Badge from Vietnam. The saddest sight at the Wall has to be the "Tree Vets," those soldiers who come so close to the names of their buddies that they reach the trees at the edge of the Memorial, then find themselves unable to continue on to the Wall itself. So many of us still have yet to even begin the journey. God bless them all.--Tom Reilly
It is a wall that heals.
Thank you and Welcome home to all you great veterans.
Never forgotten always remembered
I wrote the poem"The Spirit of The Wall"the song is crafted from.God gave me the words. I listened. I am blessed by many Vietnam Veteran friends.I perform at their events.They share their stories and burdens with me I have so many memories One day a veteran that I had never seen came and put his arms around me and cried. We must have stood like that for about ten minutes. I would have stayed as long as he needed. The poem and song bless me everyday. Thank you and Welcome home to all veterans
I am 74 years now...first time at the Wall. could not get close... just stared and with tears in my eyes I finally walked away, second time I also counted 14 friends that I will never forget... two these friends died in my arms... all my tears are for the 58K+ I still feel the pain...
God bless you. That was a rough conflict
They were very vicious,and mean. My brothers were there, and had a good friend that was a tunnel rat. And he was of the line with PPS. Then he died from agent orange God Bless all of you
As i stepped off the plane, being assaulted with the heat and smell, i was too green to realize what was to come . I've been to the wall, wept like sooo many have. And wondering while i touch the wall, why them Lord and not me. Names i touch, memories i relive. What a heart wrenching song. Heart wrenching and beautiful at the same time. Too many names, too many memories.
This past summer my dad and I went to DC and visited the wall. (My dad was in Vietnam.) I watched him go one by one to the names of all of his friends he lost in Nam, put his hand on the name and salute. 14 names he went to every one made him cry harder and in turn made me cry. R.I.P. All the brave men and women that gave all, in Vietnam and every war.
This made me shed a tear. Much respect to your pops. He's a true American hero.
Huge respects 🙏 to your dad. Love from India 🇮🇳. I can feel your pain coz I have lost my uncle to War 1965 India Pakistan the very year America 🇺🇸 went to War in Vietnam.
What the beautiful song to honor all men and women. who gave themselves so we stay free.... May God You all and U. S.A
.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The wall always makes me cry especially the Vietnam War One I lost my brother in that war but I found a friend in the end but I still miss the brother and all those men and women their moms and their dads and their sisters their wives and their children one of the most unpopular Wars that we've ever had I honored the man and women more because they're the ones that made that sacrifice
@@samnigam3451 when will we learn that the people who start the wars never have to fight them
Only having a personal living relationship with Jesus Christ can set you free, from the bad memories of war.
I have heard many veterans being thankful when young people honor their service
I hope that one day you will be able to go back to "The Wall" In the meantime take time to thank a veteran
Firstly I am not an American I never served in Vietnam, but I served in the British army did a few tours of Northern Ireland and its only recently that my fallen brothers have a wall with there names on it a few I know at the national war arboretum in Staffordshire UK.I have paid my respects to my fallen brothers and sisters t your wall in Washington Dc and at the tomb of the unknown worrier , we are all brothers together in our struggles ,
Thank you for this thoughtful song. My cousin is on the wall. I remember the day he left for Vietnam, the day we found out he had been killed and the day of his funeral. I was only 12 at the time. He had always been good to me even though I was just a kid. When we met as a family after the funeral, I also remember looking into the crib to see the infant son he never got to meet and being sad he would never see his awesome Dad. Today I remembered Ronald Lowe and the sacrifice he so willingly made.
I lost my cousin Tom Bennett to Vietnam also. He is on that wall too. I served there for almost 5 years...and I came home to disgrace but "not in-disgrace." God Bless America, land of the free-and the land that I love🇺🇸🕊🇺🇸
I saw the wall Oct 2023. I can't begin to explain the feeling I had standing there. I could have been on the wall but God brought me home. Thank you God
my husband was a Marine in Viet Nam, he was a very decorated man, sharp shooter, recon. and saw and lived more then most could ever imagine. We had a chance to go to a reunion back in 1998 in Washington, It was the first time he had seen any of the men who were over there with him , he didnt know if they had made it back or not. We all went on a trip to the wall.. and I tell you the emotions were over whelming. You could feel the spirits of many of the men and women who's names are on that wall. Its a experience I'll never forget, and one my husband took to his grave with him.. as he couldn't handle the ghosts that haunted him on a daily basis and committed suicide in 2000.. So you see my heart goes out to all service men and women.. God Bless. and of course Semper Fi
God's blessings on you family and you're husband.
I am very sorry for you loss. More Vietnam veterans have died from suicide after they made it back to the world than were killed in combat. USN 1966 1970
So sorry for your loss. So many soldiers came back physically, but not mentally. My bro was in Nam and was never the same. I was the only one he would talk to about it. He eventually drank himself to death while he lived with me. I was in the Army, fortunately during peacetime, but I understood him. May the benevolent spirits watch over all of our Veterans and their families!!
I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for the sacrifice that your husband and comrades gave to keep us free 🙏❤😇
God bless you ma’am
To all the veterans and their families, thank you for your service and sacrifice. Put your faith in and hold on to JESUS CHRIST now. Loluv. Be Blessed
I remeber walking with my grandfather who was a triple war USMC veteran "walking through all his old wars" as he called it. He went to the vietnam memorial and just broke down sobbing saying "It should have been me" I was a new Afghanistan war vet at that time. And I just sobbed with him we were two veterans with different stories falling appart at the same thing. The lose of something more dear than life itself,your friends.
I’m a Vietnam Veteran. I told another Vietnam Veteran “Welcome Home” once, he burst into tears and simply said “FINALLY”
🎖💜♠️🪖🇺🇸
I was at a tackle shop at Indian Lake in Ohio in 2016,when I saw a Marine Vietnam vet. I walked up to him and shook his hand and welcomed him home. He stepped back and said I was the first one to ever welcome him home. His wife shed a tear.
@@markceciljr1354
I was in Vietnam in 1969, after I got home, it took 25 years before anyone said “Welcome Home” to me. Sad.
@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw YES it is and I am truly sorry for the way you and your brothers and sisters were treated when you arrived back home. I am truly angry how you and all others have been ignored by the VA and government
@@markceciljr1354
Thank you. Oh, don’t get me started on the VA, I was wounded & gassed (agent orange) it took 19 years of bullshit & mounds of paperwork & exams before I was classified as 100% service connected disabled. At first they were saying agent orange didn’t count & with therapy my leg would get better, all kinds of BS to prolong giving me the treatment , meds & pay that I deserve. I have to be examined twice a year to see if I’m still eligible for 100%, like my wound is going to go away & the nightmares will stop! Thank you for your nice comment.
@@markceciljr1354
Don’t get me started on the VA, all the disrespect toward Vietnam veterans that you heard are true.
Nam Vet 1971. I'm a old man at 71 years young. It took me until 2015 before I could bring myself to go to the wall. I went there with several friends, but when we got there, I told them I wanted to do this by my self. I have two friends there. This was one of the hardest things, I have ever done in my life. Now I wish I would have done this sooner. Let the tears fall where they may. Lee........
you know ,my grandpas name is on that wall,this is the best tribute to the wall
U.S. Army 1980-1988. I have not been where you guys have been. You have my utmost respect.....We stand among giants.
My brother, Uncles, boyfriend and his brother all served in Viet Nam. when he came home he was on a grey hound bus and someone spit on him, but he was doing his duty and they were draft dodgers,. also had and uncle killed in Germany during WWII, One blowed off a bridge in the Philliaines, and my dad was frozen from the waist down in France during WWII, don't have any brothers for family to serve now, all too old, but my uncle still guards the wall when it travels. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.. Mary Jones
When my dad returned from Vietnam he returned to no fanfare or gratitude. When he arrived home a young girl spat in his face and called him names that I cannot repeat here. He stopped and wiped his face and told the girl that he pitied her. He then slowly walked away. I am glad to see the Americans of my generation welcoming our heroes home and treating them with respect.
I was in sixth grade the first time I listend to this song. We were reading a book about an American child and his life and perspective during the Vietnam war. My English teacher played this song for our class. I don’t know about anyone else, but I can definitely tell you that I was crying. I don’t cry over much, but this one hit a nerve. I guess it was mainly because of what happened during the Vietnam war to all those poor men and afterward. I did not know much about the war then. She put many famous pictures around the room. It was like a snapshot of an era barely any of us could Understand. We were born around three decades after the war ended, but it felt like three millennia. I pray that our nation will learn the lessons of the Vietnam war and that the American people will learn to be respectful of the military. I pray that this war is not forgotten and that Vietnam veterans and all American veterans are remembered for their service and heroism and valor. This war affected everyone, but The effect it had was different than any other war in United States history. My mom was born to keep her dad out of Vietnam. Many men we know wanted to be in the war, but so many others did not. Yet, what they did, their service, their bravery, went unremembered and unappreciated. The American people did not want the war, but they took it out on the soldiers, instead of the government. The soldiers had already been through hell overseas, and then they went through it again on their own shores and in their own cities and towns. I am not saying that all Americans felt this way because I do not know and do not think that this was so. However, the soldiers did not get what they deserved. They were not praised ; they were not celebrated as heroes but were instead used as scapegoats. They were not treated with kindness; they were not regarded with respect. No one understood PTSD then, and many did not get the help they needed. I think it was a change in how Americans thought. Before that point, photographs from the Battlefield were a rarity. Even after photography was invented, it was very difficult to take fresh pictures. Before photography was invented, there were paintings of battles and war. Yet, the artist took that in his stride or painted it in his light. They were not exactly dramatized but romanticized, as war too often is. The Vietnam war was the first war in American history that the general public had pictures and videos of the battlefield. It horrified them; they could not imagine wha the soldiers were going through. They did not use this positively and used it against the military. Many people did not want to be in the war or to be involved in it at all. America was going through a lot of change because people started to have their own thoughts and started to not go along with what the government said. The Vietnam war was the first war in American history that the general public had pictures and videos of the battlefield. It horrified them; they could not imagine what the soldiers were going through. They did not use this positively and used it against the military. Many people did not want to be in the war or to be involved in it at all. America was going through a lot of change because people started to have their own thoughts and started to not go along with what the government said. The American culture also had a massive overhaul. As Mom put it, people should not have opinions if they are not involved. I Agree with this, especially in this context. So many people had opinions, but those people were not on the battlefield. They were not doing the fighting; they were not seeing their friends and comrades die in front of them. Opinions are valid, but I do not think they should have them if they are not involved. I really do not know what to think. I was not born then and thus really should not have opinions myself. I understand that and try to understand everything involved. This is one reason why I thank soldiers any chance I get. I want them to know that they are appreciated and remembered and that their efforts have not been forgotten and that they were not in vain. I want to tell them that if no one else remembered what they did, I do. I pray that every soldier will get the help he or she needs and that every soldier will be appreciated for their actions and efforts. To all Vietnam war veterans, thank you for your service! To all American veterans of any war that had US involvement, thank you for your service! God bless you all, and God bless America!
My uncle died in Vietnam.This song is my favorite.A salute for the Veterans.
And I want to apologize. I want to thank all the women who served also, God bless 🙏
Thank you for this emotional video. My brother was a member of the NZ ARMY SAS REGIMENT that fought in Vietnam ( 2 x tours of duty) and is so proud to have fought along side soldiers from the US, AUSTRALIA & KOREA. When he watches images of "The Wall" he often has tears in his eyes over the loss of so many brave vets. RIP to all fallen Vets in Vietnam, NEVER WILL YOU BE FORGOTTEN BY THE PEOPLE, unfortunately the same cannot be said about our governments-US, AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND,SHANE ON YOU!
When I wrote the poem it was about Spc 5 Danny G Martin but it came out so everyone could plug in their own loved ones I have written poems about Vietnam nurses and also one titled Only Eight about the eight heroes on The Wall that happened to be women God bless you and your fiancée and I pray that God keeps her and all our great troops safe and returns them home soon to their loved ones
You gave us an everlasting poem that will forever touch the lives of mankind. My father fought WWII in the Philippines. My oldest brother was recently interred at Arlington...he served Navy four years...Air Force until he retired in with 60 years of service. God forever bless our warriors!!
Thank you for your service and ultimate sacrifice. RIP.
Thank you , welcome home , God bless you all ,... my dad made it home but died of lung disease , he was an air force mechanic ..
God bless all who served there. I was a Marine serving during TET68, I have too many friends on the wall. Thank you to everyone remembering us now.
We are nearing the hundred thousand mark and while this is just a number It means that many veterans have found out that there are some of us who care. On June 30, 2012 at 2:00 PM we will be dedicating a bridge to Honor and Remember Spc 5 Danny G Martin / Danny inspired "The Spirit of The Wall" and The Wall Song was crafted from it. The bridge is on State Route 246 (Carters Creek Pike) @ Perkins Road just south of Franklin TN
Hate the war, detest the war. But don't you dare hate the soldier. By heaven above and earth below, it is the soldier who suffers most. If you are to give anyone even an ounce of respect in this life, always remember the soldier who fights for their country because they believe in it and they deserve nothing less than respect for the hell they must face on our behalf, that hell called war.
thank you to all of you , who Serve and protect. We are proud that is give Men and Women who do this all. I served for 18 Month in the National People Army in the former GDR. But since serval Years my Wife and me feel connected with the U.S. God bless you all -salute to all of you and sorry for my bad English.
God Bless All who served. Forget the "politics" and the insanity of the war and just remember that all those young men were serving their country. God Bless them ALL!
I think every Vietnam vet who is still living should stand up and post here. I'll start: L/Cpl W.C. Roberts, 0311, 9th Marines, I Corps '65-'66. Semper FI!
Bill Leisure, Vietnam Veteran 1967 - 1968
Gods Blessings to all my brothers in arms
"We Were The Best America Had"
Vietnam Veteran
Brothers who fought without America's support
Brothers who returned without America's welcome
Brothers who will always be "The Best America Had".
Amen brother, my return to California from Nam I will never forget😢
I am from Germany. The american soldiers are my heroes, especially world war II and Vietnam. God bless America!
hello, I'm 18 and I'm in the Navy Junior ROTC, and my brother was in the aren't infantry for 15 years. I see the importance in everything and I want to thank everyone who served. it means a lot and I want to be able to see this wall one day. it would mean a lot and an honor to you all. thank you for serving every veteran ❤
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
You can't walk thru a cemetary and feel the same powerful emotions you feel at this wall. The names are side by side just like these men were in Nam. I think Maya Ying Lin did a tremendous job in designing this wall.The Vietnam War tore this country apart similar to what the Civil War did. I was in college in MI in 1967-71, and I protested the war. I wanted our boys home, & I wanted holidays with these guys [& girls] at our table. So much pain and hurt and anger. Welcome home! Welcome home!!
To all of the Vietnam Veterans who served in Vietnam . Thank you from the bottom of my heart , The United States of America, and The World has a debth of gratituted that we can never pay back. Thank you.
I am sorry for your loss and thankful for your father's service. I wasn't a veteran but had two brothers in the Army one was Vietnam era and the other was in for years going all over the world, three times in Vietnam
God be with you all my brothers. I came home to a disrespectful nation and I still think of you every day
I totaly agree with you, some times the memories seem to be, more vivid these days, I've tried to find a couple brothers from back then, but no luck,glad its better for the boys nowadays.
Semper Fi sir!!!!
I thank you all for your service & bravery.
Got spit on when I wore my uniform home after discharge in '65. Now when someone says "Thank you for your service", the words ring hollow and have no meaning for me. I came home but don't consider myself one of "the lucky ones." The "lucky ones" lie in graves, and don't have memories of the carnage, the sounds of shells exploding and their companions being blown to smithereens, memories that keep them awake at night, afraid to sleep at times, still "over there", still hiding from Charlie.. One day peace will come to me, but until then, - - - -.
I was privileged to be able to guide for 4 days at the wall that heals traveling wall in paducah ky. It was the most humbling experiance of my life. I would do it again anytime. Thank you for your service. I had viet nam vets thanking me for being there. It was my ultimate priviledge to serve them
Years ago a good friend of mine left me one of his purple hearts when he died in his will. To this day I still can't touch it or look at it without feeling proud of him yet unworthy to be in possession of such a medal. Rest in peace Marine.
Your Dad's situation is one that every vet goes through in varying degree.He was lucky to have you and your family who loved him.There are many who had and have no one,sometimes by choice,a lot of the time due to close ones not being able or willing to cope with them any more.They are the real"collateral damage"of my war.One learns to live with wounds,however life changing.It's the living with oneself that's complicated,that you are alone with ghosts and demons;only they accept you as you are.
Grandpa fought in Vietnam, he was a CH-46 pilot he saw so much death and devastation, he would never hesitate to fly into the heat of battle and help his brothers in arms. I thank all of the veterans that have fought for our freedom.
My father served with the 101st/502nd in Vietnam from 66 to 69 at Lz Sally,There is not a day that goes by that he does not talk about his friend's,It breaks my heart to see my Dad hurt everyday.Welcome home brothers
Veterans are a group of men I hold the utmost respect for. When I think of all they went through, and how there is now way how I could ever understand what it was like... well, it is something I can't even find the words for.
To all veterans who read this, thank you for your service.
Saddest and Proudest place I've ever been. Thank You !
Thank you, Victoria. My own Dad died when he was thirty-six and I was six. You have to be a parent to realize how much of an influence your own parents were, or could have been, in your life. Only about 700,000 of us remain of the 2,500,000 who fought in Vietnam. I so deeply wish that there were more of us left to hear words like yours. My very best to you.--Tom Reilly
Thank you all who served our Country The Goog Oll USA. How l love it
To all my brothers & sisters who served, but most especially my brothers & sisters who were in Nam.
Nam, 67-68
Frank Ritter Only men fought in vietnam some women might have been in vietnam but only nurses no girl saw combat
Actually there are 8 women's names on the wall. Most were nurses, approximately 11,000 women service members served in Vietnam, I really think you do a disservice to our females who served in country by your statement.
I'm from England and I walked the 'Wall' on 9/11 2003. I was 52 then, just survived a serious illness and most of the names there should have also been roughly my age with a life behind them, family, all the good stuff. Touching the Wall was an emotional experience.
My uncle was in Vietnam he's my strength whenever I need him. Thank you to everyone who served. WELCOME HOME!!!!
TRUMP SAYS YOUR SUCKERS
This song makes me cry and I,ve played it many many times
I lost 8 in my unit in Aug 6th 1969 I still wake up each morning thinking about that day.
This song has bring Me to tears , my dad is on thst wall . RIP DADDY March 26 1968 .
I served U S Air Force, 1966-1970. I have some class mates, whose names are on the walls. GOD BLESS THEIR SOULS. i WAS Fortunate not to be on the wall, thank You JESUS AMEN. I Thank AMERICA .
I lost my father to cancer in 2001, he served in the Central Highlands. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan in 05 to 06, 08 to 09, I wish he were still alive when I came home. What I’m finding out though, there are a million veterans in this country. I have a million brothers. The first words when I meet a Vietnam vet, welcome brother, nice job.
If you don't back our troops then feel free to stand in front of them.
- my dad
JIMBO amen

You're a gentleman and a scholar. God be with you. Wanna OT blessing? "The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace."
Thank you all who have served in the past and are serving in the present
My husband was a Vietnam Veteran. He told me of the horrid home coming: being spit on at the airport, being told not to wear his uniform. He died from agent orange complications that destroyed his heart. He didn't talk much about his time but he did suffer from PTSD. My heart aches for all the veterans who were treated badly.
I WILL NEVER FORGET THEM, EVER I AM A PROUD DAUGHTER OF A VIETNAM VETERAN...Always have been and will forever be....GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
God bless the guys who fought and has the name wrote there on the wall.
Forever changed. I was 3 when Uncle Sanford died in Vietnam! Love You.
I joined RA at 17, but it was about over by then. My duty was in Germany. I went to Wall last this year. Very emotional. My utmost respect for those who served our country there. Korean Battlefield and Wall is very well done also. My dad served there.
I am Victoria Whitcomb and I thank you all for what you have given and lost to protect us
face it. morning the dead wont help anything, but shaking a vets hand and thanking him for serving will make his day
Thanks to all the Viet Nam vets. Welcome Home.. I am proud veteran of the US Army but only served in peace time... Thanks again for your sacrifice!!
Respect !
Respect to All the brave men and women of the armed forces.
You served and serve with honor !
Lests none forget what you gave us by doing your duty for your country !
To the Vietnam troopers.
What happened when you got home was a disgrace.
But your honor Is restored and it forever will be !
Again Respect !
Thank you to all the viewers but most importantly Thank You and Welcome Home
to all the Vietnam Veterans and a special word to any of you with a loved one on
The Wall May they rest in peace and may comfort and peace find you
Thankyou for putting this together. I am just 12 years old, but I know a couple people that served in Vietnam. 1. My Great Grandpa. He passed away when I was very young, and he flew F-4 phantom jets. 2. My grandpa also served in Vietnam, and thankfully he has now passed away yet. He currently lives in Arizona.
I was with the 101st Airborne in nam 1968-70 1st as a lowly 11B10P then when I extended I went over to being a door gunner. Today im just a 65 year old Vietnam vet with a 100% disabled rating and also 100% for PTSD. I was I guess lucky as when I returned home at 24 I met a cute 16 year old girl and married her after 41 years we are still married even after all I put her through . To all my brother Vietnam vets out there I say Love you all brothers
Rest In Peace Brothers!
I was drafted in 1969, so Vietnam was the reality of my youth. For many years I resisted visiting the wall, because I have too many friends there. I had to go to D.C. on business and visited it. I was several hundred yards away and the tears flowed. I have been back several times since and the tears flow. As I type this, tears flow..................they are all my generation.
i got 6 cousins on the wall. they died young... too young. God bless them.
Beautiful tribute to our guys and girls who served in Vietnam....it certainly took its toll on my generation. One day we were going to the Prom; the next we were going to funerals of our 19 or 20 year old friends, brothers & sisters, loved ones who died much too young. Thank you for your brave service! To those many Shasta County friends who paid the final sacrifice in Vietnam.
MsJavaJan 60,000 American men died in Vietnam only 800 were women and they were only nurses who died by bombs, learn of history
