I'm a Korea vet, if you think you were forgotten think of us. Hardly anyone even remembers Korea. Now I just hope more of our sons and daughters don't have to fight in that hell hole.
I remember Korea and you Vets. I remember listening to the POWs being returned as they crossed that bridge. I think it was 1953 and I was 9 years old. I always thought you Korean vets never got your deserved recognition. Thank all of you for your service. Vietnam Vet, 1968-69.
One of the few songs that appreciated us Viet vets. So sad that it tells a very bad part of our history. God bless all those that didn't make it back and those of us that did. Thank you Statler Brother's for this song.
They were all Heroes, which ever war they fought in. The pain we all feel ,just to make America free,and a wonderful place to live in. The Statler Brothers sing this so well, but the words say it all. All are service men and women are special ,God Bless them for our freedom.
@@sandygravel39 Please Lord, bless these suffering people and God bless Perry and ease his mind as well. So, so tragic. I don't have the words to help , but I certainly sympathize with you and the hurting folks. Best wishes. I certainly appreciate Johnny's sacrifice.

I've never served, but my husband did and I am thankful to have him with me. I thank all the families and friends that lost their lives ones in service. This song is very powerful and it's hard not to shed a few tears when listening to it. Wonderful video.
Can never listen to this without crying. I lost a cousin and several friends in Viet Nam. That was the defining war of my generation and very controversial. However, whether you are a hawk or a dove you cannot argue that those guys fighting it gave their all and many even their lives. God Bless them all!
Was listening to this song, again. I do so quite often. However, this time my mind was not drawn to the dead. My heart goes out to those thousands of guys who came home and had to re-build their life. Some were actually physically wounded ...but ALL were mentally and emotionally wounded in one way or other. You can't live through something like that without being scarred.
My husband was there,I thank God h came home to me. He got cancer from agent orange and once again I thank God for getting him well. Thank you ALL of our veterans. AMEN.
There are 58,000+ who were more than just a name on a wall. My cousin, SSGT JOHN ORA JONES, JR (died 1968--6 days before his tour ended, and 6 months before he could have retired after 20 years with the Army) is one of them. Thank you for posting.
Yea my Uncle died from loss of blood on the plane to Germany he was shot by friendly fire his name is Robert ( Bob) fuller 19 years old 1969 in. A he'll hole called Vietnam private first class United States Army his name us also on that wall I personally thank every vet I come into contact with but especially Vietnam vets and I apologize for the way they were treated even though I was only 1 in 69
THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF THE VIETNAM VETERANS WHO GAVE SO MUCH. MY HUSBAND WAS A VIETNAM VETERAN WHO DIED 02/24/2009 HE GAVE 3 YEARS OF HIS LIFE TO THE ARMY IN VIETNAM. hE WAS A CAREER ARMY MAN WHO LOVED HIS MEN AND COUNTRY VERY MUCH. SARA ANN PRITCHARD
And for my friends, my late husband, & all Vietnam Veterans, whose names are not on The Wall, but they surely have died too early......from being exposed to the chemicals used to fight that war. We have lost so many, & we keep losing them each & every day. Memorial Day is never a day of celebration, but one of honor, respect, & remembrance.
Susan McKee yes my father served 70 -71 green beret tunnel rat.. he fight small cell cancer 2nd time they say its not from there but we know... he still a soldier
For my buddy Jerry Day Leak Killed In Action February 28th 1968, I found him in a ditch and held him till he passed. It's been 50 years but still see him every day. RIP Jerry
Thank you for your service Sir. Your friend Jerry has the best friend a man could ask for staying with him through his last breath. Sorry you had to endure that.
Being a combat vet, from a different generation. This song makes me humble. Without those fighting for our freedom, the next generation couldn’t follow i those huge footsteps.
So sad reading these comments and listening to these songs. Thank you to all the MEN that have died during these wars and thank you to all the MEN for your service that have wore the uniform. Freedom isn't free! God bless the United States of America!
After being in the war, i can still see my buddies dying on the battle field every time I hear this song. 1968 in South Vietnam was a life changing time for a boy of 20 yrs old. What a senior trip.
I hear this song about the Vietnam War and I remember the time. I have to thank the Veterans of the Vietnam war for their sacrifice to the security of this nation.
Thank all of You Veterans, I am so sorry that after all of the horrors of that war you endured and Served for God/Country / you did not receive a Hero's Welcome. I wish that the vets did return with Glory and Honor could bring recognition again to those from Vietnam War. So Sorry. Hoorah!!!
Country music has never had a better group of singers as these gentlemen.Hands down the greatest of all time.This song is one of my favorites.I was lucky,both of my uncles came home in one piece.So very many were not so lucky.And this song is probably the best tribute that the Vets of Viet Nam have been given.A war wanted by no one except poiticians.Fighting for inexplicable reasons in a war that made no sense,and came home to ridicule for doing a job that did not want to do.No matter the outcome there is never a winner in any war,I have never seen the Wall,but hope to someday.Thanks to the Statlers for saying what so many have thought about ALL of our service men and women through so many wars.
I had the privilege of seeing the Moving Wall 2 years in a row in Skidmore, Mo. as it toured the country. Was an awesome sight, so I can"t even BEGIN to imagine the full size Wall. I, for one, appreciate Viet Nam vets and say "God bless you all for your service and, for those 58,000+ who died from wounds or Agent Orange, God bless your ultimate sacrifice."
I ask each and everyone of you that as you get ready for Memorial Day on Monday that you not forget that this isn't a three day holiday weekend but rather a somber time to take time out to Remember, Honor and Pay Tribute and Respect to those that have served, sacrificed and unselfishly gave their all for us and our Country. From all wars past and present. At 3PM Mon The National Moment of Remembrance takes place. Wherever you may be at 3 PM please observe a moment of silence in honor of our Heroes. If driving, you are asked to turn your headlights on. It's the least we can do for those that have chosen to give their all so that we may continue to live in freedom. And by all means if you know of any Gold Star Families.. Please thank them for their sacrifices as well. Please feel free to share this with your friends... Thanks~ Frances
Ric God must have a need for you to be here, thank you for your service to our Country, and God Bless to all the men and women who have and are serving in our armed services!!!
what a great incredible song this is it's my favorite song by the Statler Btothers. love their music and I remember watching their show every week with my mom when I was growing up.
Love the Statler Bros. What a touching song and hearing it brings tears to my eyes. Thank God for all the young men and women who have served this country so well. They can never be repaid for their contributions. For all who didn't return home and all those that did... God Bless You!!
Mr. Reid of The Statler Brothers I miss you a lot rest in peace to all you fans out there one day we'll get to see him and we'll have fun forever until then do peaceful mr. Bean hopefully you're happy where you're at but we still miss you God bless you
I came home 53 years ago but carry the memory of some that didn't. People say let it go. There are some things that become a part of you that you can't let go. Crying with you.
My father and uncle served in the USMC during the Vietnam war....they were lucky to come home. Five other family members weren't...and their names can be found cut into that black marble wall.
I once used this analogy for Jimmy's performance on this song. Have you ever heard a race car at idle? Really lumpy and almost ready to die out. But at full throttle the engine gets right on the cam timing and roars. Jimmy is right on the cam during this song.
There are 9 names on that wall of men from my hometown. I have found all 9 of them and have tracings in my files. 8 of them are buried in the county one was buried in another state. At 64 I have good memories of watching parents standing at the graves of their sons from both WW2 and Vietnam. We have no Korean conflict graves. Although my father served in Korea. This song always reminds me of an old lady who until the early 70s would sit near her son's grave. The son lost his life at the Battle of Kasserine Pass.
Heard this during the laser show at Stone Mountain Ga years ago. They had graphics showing the Vietnam wall & people visiting it. I cried then & every time I hear the song I cry now for all those who sacrificed so much.
MKes me shed a tear every time I hear this song. God Bless our Armed Forces and ALL that defen dour freedoms we take for granted !! God Bless You All !!
I believe Jimmy added a dimension to the Statler Brothers; sort of like adding new breath to the group; his harmonies were written just a bit different but this group was able to adjust. They are musicians with heart! Yes, I cry too everytime I sing this piece too!
AS A NON PARTICIPANT WITH A DAUGHTER OF THAT AGE...THIS MOVES ME GREATLY...BUT!! DO NOT ASK ME TO FORGIVE "OUR LEADERS" WHO LED OTHER PEOPLE"S CHILDREN OFF TO THAT WAR....
FOR: W.O. Carl Michell Wood. D Trp, 3D Sqn, 5th CAV, 5th Inf Div. KIA 5 Feb. 1971. My friend and flight mate in flight training. You were one of the best Mitch..
You're right, I know I do. I etched the name of a family member there. Every bit as moving a moment in my life as the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers at ANS.
I used a recording of this at a Kiwanis sponsored Prayer Luncheon one year. It was a Thanksgiving/Veteran's Day event. I thought about singing it myself, but I couldn't find a track for it. I knew I could never do it as well anyway. I also couldn't get through it with dry eyes.
God bless our military family,thank you all that have served and are serving now,may god keep his hands of protection on you all.you are my heroes,without you we would fall,proud to be an american.
I’m 70 years old and lost friends in Vietnam. Their name is on that wall. I cry every time I hear this song.
Thank you!
I’m glad you came back. My youngest brother didn’t. I’ve visited the wall and Arlington. I left pieces of my heart there.
I'm a Korea vet, if you think you were forgotten think of us. Hardly anyone even remembers Korea. Now I just hope more of our sons and daughters don't have to fight in that hell hole.

My brother Joseph was KIA off Korea when his destroyer hit a mine. Buried at sea. I remember.
It is amazing how Jimmy was able to take over for Lew and give us more years of the Greatest Country Music group of all time.
American music at it's finest
All due respect to Lew, but Jimmy took the Statlers to a whole new level.
One of the few songs that appreciated us Viet vets. So sad that it tells a very bad part of our history. God bless all those that didn't make it back and those of us that did. Thank you Statler Brother's for this song.

It's impossible to listen to this song without the tears flowing. I just can't do it.
Yeah...me too.
@Elaine Simons. At the risk of embarrassing myself, could you please explain?
I've tried many times but can't.
Have you heard the Petersens' version?

This song applies to every mother who has lost a son in any war. I think its brilliant with that lovely voice of Harolds.
You are so right. Ward are cruel and most of the time totally unnecessary. Bless the armed forceds
Jimmy's voice is perfect. Gives me goose bumps. No other voice can match.
This song is for all service members who died in service to our country . Thank you for giving all ❤️❤️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Brings tears to anyone. God bless all who fought and are fighting for all of us
No, it doesnt bring tears to everyone.
Some of us used all the tears we had,
and some were simply unable to cry.

Thank you to all of the Vietnam vets. And special thoughts to those who didn't make it back and their families.
