I died there 52 years ago. Obviously after being dead officially for 3 minutes they restarted my heart, pumping me full of the blood of strangers, saving my leg in the process. I treated my brothers for free for 40 years. Dr. K

@@robbiekipping1124 we never should have gone there. And what upsets me most....the way our ppl were labeled and that we were baby killers and stone out of our minds. Mostly forgotten.....now we are at it again....not vegetative state but now its sand. Stay strong my brother cause God knows the troubles. 😍
and using speed, meth, weed and doing a suicide for a change.. mutilating the body or just shooting your platoon leader.. throwing a nade for an orange.. o well. only the fun things are remembered..
@@umargoldberg5759 I'm a veteran who got injured during the war and I will tell you the Vietnam vet are the ones that made the VA what it is today and that's why I was able to get competent medical treatment so I can at least function in this life and this is a debt I can never repay that's why I hold Vietnam vets in high esteem
For the soldiers who got little love going in, and very little love coming back... God Bless every one of y'all. That war was hell on Earth and still haunts our men and women to this day. You will forever be in my heart, prayers and thoughts.
Haunted till this day my uncle bob fought in 3 wars the first one was WWII I have a victory mother's pin still to this day his mother my grandma was a Kickapoo indian he was in the Navy then a wind talker. Second war was the Korean war. Third war he joined the army was vier nam, bragged about how he brought all his troops home I guess that sneaky little indian outsmarted their underground attacks anyway comes home and they wack him in the head for dead guess they didn't like him idk but yeah blead from his eyes, nose, ear, mouth
Thank you all that served in this terrible War and I pray that your days are brighter now and hopefully you left the war behind, only God can take that war from your mind. May the loving piece of God the Creator rest in your heart now. Because of the choice of so mini power-hungry bullies brought this War about. It affected the whole world. Forgiveness is the healing power of God, so one day you can walk in peace once more without a gun. We may have to call on you again when things get rough in our country, the home of the brave and then we have the weaklings that will most probably fall first. Thank you for your service to our country and others that are in need of a soldier!
Thanks for this video ! My dad was in Korea , he is 90 , a few years back a man from Korea approached him and they started talking , the man learned my dad was in the Korean War , the man say to him , it’s because of guys like you that I am here today. My dad was proud to hear those words. Thanks to all those that have served.
My father was Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm during the Korean War. Make the most of the time you have left with your dad and make sure you don't leave anything unsaid.
I am a VN vet and have read maybe 100 books on the war and I to this day don't understand how we won WWII and eight years later tied Korea and twenty years after that lost VN. What the hell happened?
Good stuff my grandpa was a USN Corpman in Korea he passed away a few years ago the coolest thing was 6 living vets came to his funeral they told us stories about grandpa cool thing about gramps he never talked about anything that had to do with Korea but when those vets spoke of him they'd say how he saved lives helped every one and because of him they were able to live on and continue life how they married and continued generations it felt good to here that God bless those who have served and those that didn't make it home and thier families much love and respect always
My brother went to name, came home all messed up in the head!!!he's gone now,I miss him,tragic motorcycle accident,in AZ, thank you all so much for your service!!bless you all!!
My father was drafted at the age of 18 6/67 he was wounded 12/31/67. He received Purple Heart wonded in combat.There is me (daughter), brother two years older.We actually grew up in VA Medical centers here in Kentucky we were always step right beside him. We were there his first heart attack, open heart surgery, always there as he cried. He along with all the others in Vietnam was sprayed with Agent Orange. 2012 finally he also got all his heart problems proven to have been caused by it. He graduated college he was 100 percent wounded vet. My father just passed 3/17/2020 He was 73 the greatest father, grandfather, great grandfather,most genuine human. Honestly ever person that served anytime as a child to a 41 year old lady never not once did I ever meet a stranger that went to VA. Lester Wayne Bray RIP sis misses you everyday. Sorry for ranting one of my father's songs on his play list.
Este es el testimonio de un paisano Hidalguense, que ya murió ...Tengo 73 años, me fui a la edad de 13 años a EEUU, fui a la guerra de Vietnam, estuve en la Brigada 173 aerotransportada Air Borne, de la 9 División , después de un año y meses de combatir y vivir horrores y errores, fui prisionero de guerra durante 3 años y medio, durante ese tiempo de prisionero nunca vi la luz del sol, siempre en un túnel, fuimos 9 prisioneros, 3 Marines, 4 Rangers y 2 infantería, salimos vivos de ahí sólo 4, pesábamos alrededor de 45 kg , y nuestra piel se sangraba de tanta humedad, nos rescataron al final de la guerra, una misión de la ONU, unas religiosas, nos cuidaron con tanto amor y paciencia, tres años tardamos en recuperarnos, tanto en la piel como en el cuerpo, aunque no sicologicamente, vivi muchos años en Filipinas, regrese a mi amado México y mi estado de Hidalgo, de donde nunca debería haber salido, ya mis fantasmas, mis miedos se han ido apagando poco a poco , a veces siento odio contra el Ejército y a veces lo extraño, pues eran mis hermanos, gracias a la música, gozo mucho mi soledad, nunca me case ni tuve hijos, mi novia que tuve en mi juventud se caso en USA , pues sabia que estaba desaparecido en batalla, y le dijeron , que tal vez nunca me volvería a ver, casi no me gusta dormir, sigo con pesadillas, gracias a la música y el canto , me siento bien. Saludos.
I'm not even American. Yet I feel for these soldiers who miraculously served their country, the courage and bravery of these soldiers was remarkable. Yet in now days solders memorials are desecrated. Mad respect for every one serving their counry!
Sincere and heartfelt thanks to all who served. A dear friend of ours who was like an older brother to all of us kids in the old neighborhood in Queens NY died while fighting in Vietnam. God Bless you and rest in peace. We love you, Lenny.
My older cousins got their Educations in Vietnam !! I was just a 10 yr old kid at the time !! My twin brother and I only knew was that they were fighting guys named Charlie !! Ill never forget our Vietnam Vererans and Thank Them whenever I see One !!!
@John Cliff John I was a Cop ! My friends and I never Ticketed a Veteran and bendt over backwards to help the ones in need !! That was the way we showed our thanks !! My values came from my Father a WW2 Army Veteran ! He was my best friend and a good simple man !! Thank you !!
@@lawrencetimmins9033 Thankyou Lawrence ! I Just lost a cousin to Agent Orange ! He did 2 tours , he never talked about Vietnam ! You Young men were a Special Breed for sure !! Gods Speed !
That's if they're still with us. The current estimate is about 600,000 are still alive out of the 2.7-3.2 Million that were thought to have served in Vietnam. Less than 1/4.
I've got alot of friends who serviced in veitman the are precious in my heart just like all other veterans and they have the greatest music and the music is a statement at that time ❤❤❤❤
i truly respect you, my grandpa was there and my other one was to young to join, but he wanted to. the one to young was in 101st airborne after the war and because of that me and my buddy do airsoft based off of Vietnam 101st airborne 1969. thanks for serving and keeping us free in those times.
I dont have respect for you, you go other side of our planet to kill innocent people, imagine if they came to amerika and slaughtered you and somebody respect that people...
My Father died at Hồ Chí Minh, I listen to this music to remember him, because we don't have such good music from the 70s, here in Vietnam 😅 we are also very proud of our Veterans here, which fought against communism, independence and reunification of our country. Good bless all souls, who fought in this war :)
Do you realy think, that this war was worth so many dead soldiers. And, the Americans lost the war, Vietnam was going to be a communist contry. They don't arrive their aims.
I never saw such brave and courageous fighters as what we had in Vietnam. If you know a Vet, please thank him or her for plowing through hell on earth. It is indescribable for most and impossible to forget. The sounds, smells, heat, rain, engulf your senses. How short? A wake up! God Bless!
May rest in peace all Vietnamese fighters who fought for their land,their lives and who died on their land defending whats their,their way of life! They are trully Spartans of that time!
67-68 173rd airborne I’m sick I had a hoot over their in field 9 months give or take after we left Bein Hoa don’t talk to nobody about it thanks to all military no matter your roll. At least you did it
I am 65 and I was lucky the draft ended, but both times I have been to the memorial I am not ashamed that i cried. I had a friend who proudly served inWW11 and after procrastination took him out to dinner on Veterans Day, he died not long after. On Veterans Day take a Vet to dinner before its to late.
You cry for the 50,000 soldiers who died in the failed invasion, who cried for more than 10 million innocent Vietnamese who died in this meaningless war.
In memory of one of the 58,000 names on the Vietnam Memorial, Walter N. Levy, USMC, KIA 18/09/65, Quang Nam Province, RVN. A good man who died way too young as so many of them did. And also to the thousands of MIA/POW who were left behind and whose existence your government has been publicly denying since 1973: You Are Not Forgotten.
As a Vietnam Vet.....Navy, USS KITTY HAWK CVA63, I am sad, always have been, always will be, of the senseless atrocities that have taken place in my lifetime. War is hell.....but war is also so unnecessary if we can just try a little harder to avoid it.
@@mackydog99 i don't know why the Vietcong commit numerous genocides but the world don't judge them while they judge the american for helping Vietnam, life is strange.
Rest In Peace the soldiers who have died in any war and hopefully the vets who lived Rest In Peace from what they have seen overseas. My grandfather was a tunnel rat for the U.S in the Vietnam war.
todd jensen lol. He did have a flashback in the car and almost crashed. And he was in operation Agent Orange or one that sounded like that so he has a little cancer:(.

My total respect and love to all Vietnam vets. to all vets, you fought on the battlefield, you fought when you came home, you are still fighting the battles of ptsd, amputations, agent orange poisoning. to all deceased, rip heroes., to those still fighting, you are not forgotten.
Drafted 1966. I'm still here but my high school friend died in Nam. We left the same day on the train. We told each other we would see each other when we got back. I seen his name on the wall. Very sad. For what?
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸 My late husband, drafted in 68, Army. Our common saying was screw LBJ/McNamara. The other things we would say would get me kicked off. It was to destroy the best genetics in this country. They didn't get all. May you find peace for your lost friends as we have. God bless.
Here it is 2019, on my way to work in a hurry to get my sausage biscuit I see an old man who can hardly walk standing behind me wearing a Vietnam veteran hat on his head. No doubt whatsoever that old mans mind is as sharp as ever and even though his body has worn out, he is every bit of a bad ass today as he was 50 years ago....he goes in front of me and if he allows me the pleasure, his meal is free today.
@@AlexanderBogdanow I honestly would not care if he toked or not, google the shitstorm they walked through. I would steady the lighter for him so doesn't waste any of his doobie.
@@Yumatas You mean this "fake Vets". Think it's legit cause there're plenty of them. Or do ya mean the shitty Support they get from the Fed's? The latter one is a legit Problem!
God Bless Your heart. You know what we saw when we rotated back stateside? HATE. Spit on. Cursed at. Refused service at restaurants. We were "encouraged" not to wear Class A's. Thank you for caring.
From Texas yall!!! Im mexican american born and raised on my sweet austin texas and I enjoy this type of music r.i.p to all those who fought and dies as great warrior
The majority of Vietnam veterans were volunteers his tistics bear it out even though there were conscripts are draftees the majority were volunteers wasn't trying to make anybody sort I was a volunteer myself combat medic with the 1st Cav A 1/7 71-72
to million plus who served honorably in a unpopular war..thank for your courage,integrity, and duty for your country .there on not enough thanks for your service..for the 58,000 plus young men and woman who paid the ultimate price may god have mercy on you and may you rest in peace., your pain ,suffering and sacrifice always be remembered and held in the highest order

@@Wolfsbane1100 BULLSHIT - Americans won every battle they were engaged in.. The COWARD POLITICIANS pulled us out after every battle and we'd have to go back and go back and go back and retake every piece of ground over and over and over.. And if you call rockets, mortars and bullets coming at you for days on end fighting farmers, then your brain is wired backward. Don't disparage those of us who went. We were men, not COWARDS or WUSSIES like those whiners But maybe COWARDS and WUSSIES are your kind,
I am a stranger to you but a sincere friend and supporter for what you did for all of us still alive in the United States of america. I tip my hat to you for hanging in there with the love and support of your family may god continue to bless you and I thank you

Amazing video and VERY moving! Thank you Vietnam Vets and all Vets for your Heroic service, you will never be forgotten for your unequivocal service to the greatest nation the world has ever seen!
My dad did two tours and lost a close friend two days before we pulled troops out.Wore his friends hat every day until it was literally falling apart. Unfortunately I lost my dad when I was 9 months old but that story from his best friend tells me all I need to know about him.
God bless those who go into battle yet, knowing full well they may never return alive. We salute them and honour them over time infinite. Go for it Creedence!
Thank you all for your service. My dad fought in WW2 in North Africa & Italy, & my family honors our service men, women & vets year round. You humble me & make me proud

True Fact: Anytime American troops wanted to launch an offensive the U.S. had to get approval from the U.N. Secretary General. Anytime the Viet Cong wanted to launch an offensive they didn’t have to notify anyone. RIP to all who didn’t make it. Good Morning Vietnam is a great movie with Robin Williams.
Thank you for all you have served. It's an honor to have you living with us. May dear God and Jesus bless you all! Words can't describe your greatness!!!! Best wishes and prayers to you, much love💓💓💓💓🌈🌈🌈🌈❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great song)))
i truly respect you, my grandpa was there and my other one was to young to join, but he wanted to. the one to young was in 101st airborne after the war and because of that me and my buddy do airsoft based off of Vietnam 101st airborne 1969. thanks for serving and keeping us free in those times.
I dont have respect for you, you go other side of our planet to kill innocent people, imagine if they came to amerika and slaughtered you and somebody respect that people...
i said the same to my grand uncle "thank u for ur service" he was 2nd radio operator on the Bismarck
Respect to all the Bismarck and Scharnhorst men, as well as to all of the U-Boat men who never returned home...!
Wow. That must have been a hell of a ride he took .
Respect to all those that served. Thank you for your service. Big love to you all.
From Mexico We salute you. Respect from the ones who fought. God bless you all.
My Respects For You Latin American Brothers. Who Participated Together With Us In That Famous War. Long Live America ✌✌✌❤
Como estás?
@@meowmiau7924 Todo bien por acá.
Bien y tú?
Que bueno
Gone but not forgotten,those that still here thank you for everything you did for my family
My Father died at Hồ Chí Minh, I listen to this music to remember him, because we don't have such good music from the 70s, here in Vietnam 😅 we are also very proud of our Veterans here, which fought against communism, independence and reunification of our country. Good bless all souls, who fought in this war :)
Xin chao, from peace-loving people everywhere!
I,m sorry are politicians screwed thing up you guy,s were effected the worst.
Wish more wer of the same mind
Do you realy think, that this war was worth so many dead soldiers. And, the Americans lost the war, Vietnam was going to be a communist contry. They don't arrive their aims.
I never saw such brave and courageous fighters as what we had in Vietnam. If you know a Vet, please thank him or her for plowing through hell on earth. It is indescribable for most and impossible to forget. The sounds, smells, heat, rain, engulf your senses. How short? A wake up! God Bless!
Вопрос: В каком месте Вьетнам граничит с США?
И на какой штат напали вьетнамцы?
May rest in peace all Vietnamese fighters who fought for their land,their lives and who died on their land defending whats their,their way of life! They are trully Spartans of that time!
Liviving in Florida is almost the same
67-68 173rd airborne I’m sick I had a hoot over their in field 9 months give or take after we left Bein Hoa don’t talk to nobody about it thanks to all military no matter your roll. At least you did it
Veterans, thank you for your service. While yesterday may be gone, thank you for today.
I am 65 and I was lucky the draft ended, but both times I have been to the memorial I am not ashamed that i cried.
I had a friend who proudly served inWW11 and after procrastination took him out to dinner on Veterans Day, he died not long after.
On Veterans Day take a Vet to dinner before its to late.
my uncle was a door gunner in Vietnam he also served the Tet Offensive
@Blind Squid It could also possibly be a catharsis.Take care
I told my daughter too always carry a flag. And too keep one on your desk. It will remind you what to do. Any of the flags! Amen. Thank you.
You all need to visit the memorial. I have and seeing the 50,000+ names is etched in my soul forever. I cried.
They should make one for the million+ Vietnamese who died as well.
You cry for the 50,000 soldiers who died in the failed invasion, who cried for more than 10 million innocent Vietnamese who died in this meaningless war.
Damn the people who send them to Vietnam, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, the Ministers of defence, the generals and Admirals.
Wow, that was a blast from the past- a kind of flashback to Nam '68 - a former Medic then but continued with the same old struggle as a Social Worker.
Did you know Lieutenant Thomas Watts?
Rip to all the fallen soldiers 💙
2 million Vietnamese civilians killed by eeuu
For a useless war
And all who came back mental messed up..some who..got help.

In memory of one of the 58,000 names on the Vietnam Memorial, Walter N. Levy, USMC, KIA 18/09/65, Quang Nam Province, RVN. A good man who died way too young as so many of them did. And also to the thousands of MIA/POW who were left behind and whose existence your government has been publicly denying since 1973: You Are Not Forgotten.
Yes. I still cry because south Vietnam has fallen
Afghanistan was not the first time we left many, too damn many, behind and Nixon should have been punished the same as Biden hopefully will be.
As a Vietnam Vet.....Navy, USS KITTY HAWK CVA63, I am sad, always have been, always will be, of the senseless atrocities that have taken place in my lifetime. War is hell.....but war is also so unnecessary if we can just try a little harder to avoid it.
@@mackydog99 i don't know why the Vietcong commit numerous genocides but the world don't judge them while they judge the american for helping Vietnam, life is strange.
Thank you for your service
Rest In Peace the soldiers who have died in any war and hopefully the vets who lived Rest In Peace from what they have seen overseas. My grandfather was a tunnel rat for the U.S in the Vietnam war.
Motocross Max holy shit hope he didn’t have flashbacks or ptsd attacks best from Iowa farmer
todd jensen lol. He did have a flashback in the car and almost crashed. And he was in operation Agent Orange or one that sounded like that so he has a little cancer:(.

From England, you guys were truly brave, God bless you all
Jim Grimwood Wallace was braver
They called it the jungles of hell. Scared kids not much younger than myself went in there and some never came out. Brave or crazy I dont know which it was, but they saw shit in there

I also want to show honor. Because of brave men and women. We have our freedom. Some are trying to take it away now. If we let them. We will regret it

Drafted 1966. I'm still here but my high school friend died in Nam.
We left the same day on the train. We told each other we would
see each other when we got back. I seen his name on the wall.
Very sad. For what?
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸 My late husband, drafted in 68, Army. Our common saying was screw LBJ/McNamara. The other things we would say would get me kicked off. It was to destroy the best genetics in this country. They didn't get all. May you find peace for your lost friends as we have. God bless.
yeahh ... foreign countries, exotic food ... good music ... great holidays ...
Vietnam is a wonderful country. Very friendly people.
U forgot that there were good w****s too that Time

Great holidays and next to you dead person
Here it is 2019, on my way to work in a hurry to get my sausage biscuit I see an old man who can hardly walk standing behind me wearing a Vietnam veteran hat on his head. No doubt whatsoever that old mans mind is as sharp as ever and even though his body has worn out, he is every bit of a bad ass today as he was 50 years ago....he goes in front of me and if he allows me the pleasure, his meal is free today.
Did he toke the meal?
@@AlexanderBogdanow I honestly would not care if he toked or not, google the shitstorm they walked through. I would steady the lighter for him so doesn't waste any of his doobie.
@@Yumatas You mean this "fake Vets". Think it's legit cause there're plenty of them. Or do ya mean the shitty Support they get from the Fed's? The latter one is a legit Problem!
Your right our body's maybe wore down but one time 50 55 year's ago we were the best America had and in our mind we still are pretty dang good!
God Bless Your heart. You know what we saw when we rotated back stateside? HATE. Spit on. Cursed at. Refused service at restaurants. We were "encouraged" not to wear Class A's. Thank you for caring.
From Texas yall!!! Im mexican american born and raised on my sweet austin texas and I enjoy this type of music r.i.p to all those who fought and dies as great warrior
Can you imagine being conscripted at eighteen and thrown into that conflict, even decades later, it's hard to believe or bear!
The majority of Vietnam veterans were volunteers his tistics bear it out even though there were conscripts are draftees the majority were volunteers wasn't trying to make anybody sort I was a volunteer myself combat medic with the 1st Cav A 1/7 71-72
My husband was an officer, in charge of an off shore vessel. Gosh, he was old, 25. God what a shitty war.
Happening in Ukraine rn lol
and to come home to be treated like trash.
I’d do it
These guys were my mentors and NCOs. Platoon Sgts and 1st Sgts. Love them all.
My dad was there fell into a spike ditch lost his leg still kicking 53 still a legend
Your dad is 53? Much to young to be a Vietnam Vet.
Remember, guys, remember for those who didn't get the chance to come back home
to million plus who served honorably in a unpopular war..thank for your courage,integrity, and duty for your country .there on not enough thanks for your service..for the 58,000 plus young men and woman who paid the ultimate price may god have mercy on you and may you rest in peace., your pain ,suffering and sacrifice always be remembered and held in the highest order
Id like to thank the guys who had some trouble over there and were discharged other than honorably. Thanks for trying. Your not forgotten

@@Wolfsbane1100 If you think that then you know nothing of history.
@@Wolfsbane1100 BULLSHIT - Americans won every battle they were engaged in.. The COWARD POLITICIANS pulled us out after every battle and we'd have to go back and go back and go back and retake every piece of ground over and over and over.. And if you call rockets, mortars and bullets coming at you for days on end fighting farmers, then your brain is wired backward. Don't disparage those of us who went.

Just a thank you to all my military brothers who served during that termoil. God bless you.
My dad did two tours and lost a close friend two days before we pulled troops out.Wore his friends hat every day until it was literally falling apart. Unfortunately I lost my dad when I was 9 months old but that story from his best friend tells me all I need to know about him.
My grandfather was an LRRP in Vietnam. He used to listen to this song a lot.
God bless those who go into battle yet, knowing full well they may never return alive. We salute them and honour them over time infinite. Go for it Creedence!
Police in the larger cities can well identify with 'Nam vets. They never know if going to work will be the last time.
Not sure Creedence were singing the praises of a futile war.
Thank you all for your service. My dad fought in WW2 in North Africa & Italy, & my family honors our service men, women & vets year round. You humble me & make me proud

True Fact: Anytime American troops wanted to launch an offensive the U.S. had to get approval from the U.N. Secretary General. Anytime the Viet Cong wanted to launch an offensive they didn’t have to notify anyone. RIP to all who didn’t make it. Good Morning Vietnam is a great movie with Robin Williams.
