Ok. I have a story, i was in summer school, they only allow you 3 tardies, i had 2, but i woke up late(i was woken up by the fire alarms of the school) i had to get to school as soon as possible, so the moment that i step out the house i see a low flying (so low i could look at the pilot) huey playing fortunate son. So all you see is me sprinting to school among smoke and a huey playing fortunate son with the sound of the engine, and sirens( p.s. i was wearing aviators and a bomber jacket(i was also in ground school) which made me feel cool, even though i am well aware I'm not, it was the moment that was)

I lost a neighbor in Vietnam, Marine Paul Bragg and my brother-in-law Tom Folger, committed suicide over 40 years later partly due to
PTSD. They were all heroes, all of them. And the music was part it all. May they rest in peace. God love 'em all! Jacque Lumb
brings me back to my Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam days
Thank you for your service

@Ryan Edgy
airforce9872 thx sir for your service .... what was YOUR favorite ccr song ?
To this day I have no clue how I could sit at the little fold down seat at the open door in full combat gear with a loose little canvas strap hanging to my knees as my only fall protection, and not fall the hell out. Even when I would look straight out and stare at the ground below... Amazing....
Damn
I'm with you on that one brother.
Many good men died in this war that wasn't even theres.. but the Huey ❤
Historydiggerpat Huey served in Korea too
The Huey wasn't theirs either
Well you are obviously 12 years old by your lack of English comprehension and utterly stupid comment about a Huey
@@Mokujo No they didn't, not if you're talking about the Korean War.
"Bell developed the powerful helicopter in the 1950s and produced more than 16,000 between 1955 and 1976.

@@bernardoayres1139 I am highly against feminism, leftism cucks and all this kind of things, but this war is one of the stupidiest ever, I wish you fight in a war to see how good it is, specially if the war is in your country.
Americans fear when the trees start speaking Vietnamese.
The VC fear when the sky starts singing Fortune Son.
Teacher: we are going to Vietnam
Girls: no there's way to many trees there
boys:
Yes
Then ride a Huey gunship
WHO COMPLAINS ABOUT TOO MUCH TREES?
Because the girls know that charlie is in those trees man
When your farming and the sky starts roaring with the sound of 'murica
Ladies and gentlemen. ‘Murica has arrived no need to thank us.
Fire back a bit, and the cowards will soon run.
yo add some M60 rounds to it and it will be perfect
Isaac Olivares anyone who runs is VC anyone who doesn’t run is a well disciplined VC!
Add radio chatter from Mad Dog 1-6 and THEN it’s perfect
Yo add some Tet offensive scream sounds from US soldiers to it and it will be perfect.
Juan Correa that would make it worse. Much worse
Yeeaaahh...!!!! ..bring
da HOG baby...
I showed my grandpa this video. He really liked. He even said that the trees were speaking Vietnamese for some reason. Then he did a weird dance on the floor to this song. All in all, this is a good song to show your grandparents.
To all those who served in Vietnam … thank you and god bless you.
Yes thank you guys so much its truly appreciated by more than you think
Thank you C 130s 1966 to 1970
Thanks for nothing
Semper fi... Semper fucking fi!
Thanks for fighting a bunch of poor farmers and thanks for killing thousands of innocents also thanks for burning forests and villages for absolutely no reason thank you all for following orders blindly like dogs
This is the most helicopter song ever
cant get enough...
Fortunate son is for pussies.
Real men listen Long Tall Sally.
@@studybooks3395 man of culture!
The huey I lived with it for 7 years,one bad ass chopper,happy to hear it,sad to see it goe
Don't worry they're still in service. A few flew over Pennsylvania about a month ago.
Gamer Cat No they retired from the army he means
@@MA_Colt marines still have venoms tho so the legend still lives
We used UH-1s when I was in USMC and then may years later when I was in Afghanistan as a civilian. I can hear that whop whop whop and I don’t even need to look. I know.
“What they don't prepare you is the
incessant use of Fortunate Son"
(Edit: YOO thanks guys for giving me this much likes. I was only expected at most 100. But I didn’t know that this would just get this much likes. This is my most likes comment. Thanks guys)

Teacher: Today we have some RC helicopters to use in our lab.
Girls: Ooh fun! toy helicopters!
Me and the boys:
Now just strap weapons on & fly them in 'Nam' ok?
Me,strapping a some homemade napalm bombs to it: IT AIN'T ME,IT AIN'T ME.
(roastin some vietnamese in the back ground) I AIN'T NO SENATOR'S SOOOONNN SOOOOOOOOOONNNN
"Fortunate Son"
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me,
I ain't no senator's son, son
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes
I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
Yeah!
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer, "More! More! More!" Yo
I ain't no military son, son
I ain't no fortunate son, no no no
А теперь на русском
Некоторые люди рождаются с предназначением махать флагом
О, этот красный, белый и синий
И когда группа играет "Салют командиру"
О, они наводят орудие на тебя, Боже
Припев:
Это не я, это не я, я не сын никакого сенатора, нет
Это не я, это не я; я не не удачливый, нет
Некоторые люди рождаются с серебряной ложкой в руке
Боже, разве они не помогают себе, о
Но когда сборщик налогов стучит в дверь
Боже, дом похож на распродажу, да
Припев:
Это не я, это не я, я не сын никакого миллионера, нет
Это не я, это не я; я не не удачливый, нет
Некоторые люди наследуют глаза, украшенные звёздами
Ох, они посылают тебя на войну, Боже
И когда ты спрашиваешь их, "Сколько ещё людей мы должны потерять?"
О, они только отвечают "Больше! Больше! Больше!"
Припев:
Это не я, это не я, я не военный сын, нет
Это не я, это не я; я не не удачливый, нет
Припев:
Это не я, это не я, я не не удачливый, нет нет нет
Это не я, это не я, я не удачливый сын, нет нет нет
Thank you good sir
Thanks for the music and adding HUEY sound effects to make my grandpa do sick hip hops on the floor again. Very cool
I'm a brasilian 53 years old man and I understand the value of the american boys who fighted in Vietnam. They are heroes ! Thanks all of them and specially to that who died there.
Evitaram o avanço do Comunismo na Ásia mas hoje em dia o Comunismo invadiu às universidades Norte-americanas sem os USA perceber cometeram o mesmo erro do Brasil lutou contra a ameaça de fora mas esqueceram de proteger seu quintal de ideologias comunistas.
Oh w...
@@linhnguyenha2305 They fought agains the kinda communism China and the Russians were spreading, sadly this war could’ve been all prevented if we Americans just saw Ho Chin Minh for what he was. A nationalist and a staunch anti-imperialist, if it wasn’t for the red scare it is likely that we Americans wouldn’t of fought over in Asia whatsoever
@@williamsherman1942 ? Do you know why the US sent troops to Vietnam? Courage caused the death of more than 1 million Vietnamese people?!?! I don't see the word "brave" anywhere, I just see an army that dropped tons of bombs on North Vietnam. 😃
@@williamsherman1942 Sorry even though we are communists, what have we done to you guys? Or if the US government says "The Gulf of Tonkin is real and we fight for a bright future for Vietnam~", the American soldiers' gratitude is "HUGE".
Iran: declares war on America.
America:
Ha ...... Iran .......really!

Uhhhhhhhhh think you mean US declares war on Iran???
You realize that America lost the Vietnam war right?
@@sp0ckz0mbi3 Can't lose a war if you never declare it.
Imagine making a anti-war song only for it to become one of the most famous war songs,
I just miss it, But I remember!! I wish I were 8 years older! I would have went! Hats off to those that were there and did not come back! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

They say that if you listen to this song in a heavily wooded area, you’ll find yourself with an M16 in hand with Charlie in the Trees.
When the rocks start to speak persian.
It's Farsi not Persian
Miss Chauchat Cultist Farsi is just an endonym. It’s still called the Persian language.

My first Navy duty assignment after mechanics school was to maintain Hueys. 45 years later I still love em.
This UH1 effect is bomb!! love it
AK cristo *napalm.
Get it because people these days say “yeah this beat is fire” but Napalm was the fire in nam.
Una guerra persa in partenza 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
I got more songs with the huey
My high school is nearby an active airbase (it’s been active since WW2, actually). One day, a massive formation of helicopters (about 25+ of them) were flying overhead for a yearly drill. I had my Bluetooth speaker connected to my phone and I played Fortunate Son as all of them flew over our school. I wish I got it on video...
how do you describe your high school memories ?
*this video*

Good morning VIETNAM!

James Harding man I love that movie
@@leviyoung4066 I second that love! And now we have lost both Adrian Cronauer & Robin Williams!
As to the OP here, this would be my GRADE school memories, yeah, I am old AF! I also had a dear friend come out of the Jungle, wounded & under fire on the end of a ROPE from one of these beautiful Hueys!
Non sibi sed patriae!
Maggie Rezac yea
Got this on full blast playing Helldivers 2. See you in the creek boys
To all those Milinials who say the Baby Boomer generation sucks, just remember the half that served their country during the Vietnam War Era. These men and women never got a parade for their service, and sure don't deserve the insults hurled at them by some Commie Milinals who seek to devide our country by generation. This is a great video, thank you for sharing it. ✌
Very nicely said 👍👏👏 👏👏 👏
@@managainstmachine3395 ....that's interesting. I didnt know LBJ and Nixon were Boomers. They and their Generals lost that war. So, your understanding is we only honors our Vets that win? If that is the case, then all the Gen X and Milinial's that fought in Iraq and Afghanistan must be dishonored too, according to your logic, are we are still fighting those wars. Are you willing to say that about Gen X and Milinial's too? You see how stupid you sound when you paint an entire generation of Boomers as evil? I think you missed my original point.
Man Against Machine Anarcho-Communist, much?
Thank You US Soldiers for your service against the communist scum
@@managainstmachine3395 ...your freedom to " reply " was paid for by a vet. Your welcome! Try living in a true commie country and see if you have the right to say what you say here. The difference is I dont care if you have that oppinion, that is the beauty of free speech. So, say stupid stuff, like you do, fine. Freedom is not free, it has been paid for by men and women fighting for freedom. Do you ever thank anyone who has helped you in your life, or do you just take and not give back? Give it a few years and you may understand gratitude and love. Listen more, and speak less and travel the 3ed world and you will learn how good you have it in the USA. Look in the mirror and you will see who you really hate, then fix that. Good luck.
This is Nam baby
@@AtrociousAK47 bo1 days
Yeah baby, greatest defeat of US. So far.
Dan Slotea defeat? We’re still here aren’t we?
@@Jleed989 hahaha, you are funny. Are you stil, in Vietnam? They beat the shit out of you and sent you home in wooden boxes and wheelchairs with all your napalm, agent orange, helicopters and green berrets. That in my book is defeat.
@@DanSlotea You dont remember that the US withdraw in 73 because of Paris accords? And they declare victory in 75 by breaking the armistice?
Thanks to the politicians and anti war hippies, the US abandoned South Vietnam, and broke their promise of military support.
When you tell a joke to your fellow soldiers and the trees start laughing
Underrated
We getting out of Vietnam with this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯
Beautiful beautiful Huey's... God bless them and the wonderfully insane pilots and the AH-1 pilots. I love you all!
If someone asks you: "What is the meaning of freedom?" You show him this vid!
The Gospel John 3:16-18 true & fact. UH1......FUN.
say what you want about the Vietnam war, but there is nothing cooler than a flight of loaded up huey's, doors open, and this song in the background.
With all the equipment at your hands you can never beat an ideal and dedication
A lot of great songs from the era work well with this scenario, however, every time I hear this song I instantly envision the choppers, just meant to be together. Good job son.

Every Huey should be fitted with a "Fortunate Son" switch that exclusively plays this song on-demand and on repeat.
Thank you everyone, my dad was there, maybe someone will read this that helped him or vice versa, God bless you
