@@laqueenawilliams4762 what power doesn't lie to its subjects? The struggle these men went through somehow outside of the confines of history?

You can not understand, because you don,t know anything other the peace, you do not have the understanding what live and death means in war, especialy when fighting with hands tied, and buddy,s dies around. I understand you don,t understand. But pls don,t talk if don,t know anything about war, and the politics about war,
Those of us from that era have not forgotten you and appreciate you! We are still angry at the politicians who lost the war or shall I say did not allow you to win😔 I was married to 2 combat veterans so the Vietnam war is very personal for me.
Thank you, thank you all. I'm a civilian woman, the same age as you and I needed to hear your words and see the footage because I'm still learning about the war and those who were actually boots on the ground. My thanks and love to you all.
This was very well done. No background rock music making combat look like a music video just combat veterans telling their stories. As veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan I thank the producers for letting these men tell their stories with realism and dignity.
I had a brother that fought in vietnam he told the same as these guys he love his country was wounded twice but alot of americans didnt like a vietnam veteran very sad thank GOD FOR THESE vietnam veterans
I never understood why our Vietnam Veterans were treated so poorly...I was a volunteer USO girl at the Philadelphia NAVAL Hospital and for 5 years saw and heard first-hand accounts from our brave wounded warriors...I was always very outspoken on their rights and how I thought they should have been treated etc..when I participated in a "beauty " contest the questions most asked were about fashion or beauty..mine, however, was about what did I think of President Johnsons performance of the Vietnam War!!! I was only 16 at the time but I said that first, the late President Kennedy would have definitely handled it much better like he did with the Cuban/Missile Crisis, 2nd, he should leave politics in the White House and have the military generals and experts make the important decisions to aid the soldiers...there was a big hush over the audience and then a very loud applause , and most likely the men who stood up were either Veterans or fathers etc of the fighting me, and of course, some boos too!! Needless to say, I lost but was never sorry I spoke up. My Dad and his oldest brother were heroes of WWII , both in Europe at the same time...my brother and my fiancée were in Vietnam at the same time period also during the Tiet Offensive...fortunately they both came home but very different and effected deeply after returning home...I'm helping my brother write a book about his time there...we held the biggest welcome home party for him and I had a special cake baked for him in the shape of a huge a airplane with "SHORT 0 DAYS " on it...he cried when he saw that!!!

These stories need told ! ! Even I was ( embarrassed ) to ask questions . That War tore our Nation apart & it has not been the same since .
The war didnt do that. The liberal population's ignorance did that. Fact: The domino theory was accurate. The ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand stayed free of Communism because of the U.S. commitment to Vietnam. The Indonesians threw the Soviets out in 1966 because of America’s commitment in Vietnam. Without that commitment, Communism would have swept all the way to the Malacca Straits that is south of Singapore and of great strategic importance to the free world. If you ask people who live in these countries about the war in Vietnam, they have a different opinion from the American news media. The Vietnam War was the turning point for Communism.
These men were spit on as they returned home. I would like to say to all the soldiers in this documentary. WELCOME HOME! Thank you for your sacrifices and service.

Sad as hell to be treated like that and still treated like shit by are government and the half ass VA administration what blows my mind is the wounded soldier project because there shouldn't be a need for that you should be taken care of by the same government that placed you in harm's way shame
@@sillygoose2508 VOAG is about the way the Vets were treated. The writing team absolutely promise to make sure a percentage of any money generated by the show gets to the VVA (IF it ever finds a champion to put it out to the public) we have limited say over whoever puts it on... but that must be part of any deal. We have contacted the Wounded Warriors. If you have time... please watch, listen to the music and Comment?? All the best, John Sinclair, Steve Webb, Lin Anderson
@@deborahleone4351 yup. Granted, yes, the first amendment protects our freedom of speech, and people can feel however they want about the war, and if they're ignorant enough to believe that the people fighting in Vietnam were the ones guilty of causing the war in Vietnam, they sadly have the right to tell the veterans that however misguided and ignorant they may be. But when it crosses over to spitting on and throwing anything at the veterans who were lucky enough to return home alive they should have been locked up, charged, and convicted of felony assault. If I spit in a cop's face I'm going to prison, and it shouldn't have been any different for anyone who did such to any of our veterans returning home from Vietnam. If anything they should have received an even stiffer punishment for assaulting a returning veteran, they already went through more than enough hell without having it continue when they returned home.
One thing I remembered is that when my dad returned from Viet Nam ( he did 2 tours)- he returned home at night- we didn’t meet him at the airport - he always returned in the middle of the night- I always wondered if that was on purpose because of the treatment the our returning soldiers returned received and he didn’t want us to witness that
Not only was one of my uncle's killed in Vietnam, but my mother said atlesst 5 of her highschool classmates got killed in that war too. God Bless all the Vietnam Vets that made it..
Who did invite your uncle and your high school classmates go to Vietnam and attack our country and then to be killed ? Who did tell them to bomb our house, people and children, our uncle and high school classmates too ? Wasn’t your Government? Stop blaming us and our Veterans who had to shoot the “uninvited guests” to protect our own country. You guys better find out a better options for the President election to manage your own messy country before spearing a blaming culture.
@@NgocNguyen-no3oy Exactly, sometimes it feels like they don't even know there were people being butchered 'over there' in fact even today iof you ask how many people were killed in Vietnam most will respond: 58,000... unbelievable, just too cruel. Okay, the soldiers were not treated like heroes as much as they were expecting when they went back home and many are seriously fucked because of what they saw and did, many of them were vicious beyond belief, torture, rapes, desruction, and the killing for no reason except killing but the most insane unbelievable serial murder was the carpet bombing of whole villages, people who had commited no crimes, who had nothing to defend themselves and could not understand what was happening, the other invaders were never so cruel, I watched a lot of documentaries about those wars but I cannot take it anymore, the heroin of Vang Pao in Laos, the agent orange birth defects, Pol Pot, the Diem brothers, My Ly, Project Phoenix, etc... the horror never stopped and now, no one remembers the Vietnamese? The real victims? You have good reason to be angry, tell everyone you know that they should be angry too and all of us not in the US join with you, you are not alone anymore. Peace to you and to your people, you deserve it.
@@NgocNguyen-no3oy dude, nobody is blaming you or your country for anything. The Vietnam War was a tragedy for all involved. You must be young and not yet wise enough to understand that. Vietnam and America are now friends and trading partners, also natural allies against Communist China. Remember the past but don't live in the past. The future for Vietnamese-American relations is very bright and you should focus on that future bro.
I was a grunt in Vietnam 1971. Not a day goes by I don't think about that tour in Vietnam. So different than any experience in my life....very intense. 70%ptsd disability and hearing loss.
I bet you didn't expect to come back and fight the VA for only 70% PTSD when you've suffered 100%of the memories of this horror for a life time! They Lie...We Suffer!
My heart goes out to you all give you it most respect hear stories from my dad and it hits home made me strong individual thank-you all foryour service
You are right and correct. However I feel absolutely ashamed that these men were sacrificed like this. This is an absolute shame. After watching this I am ashamed to be an American. It’s no wonder all of these brave men didn’t go to Canada. Our leadership was disgusting then, and it’s deplorable now. This Country is so Corrupt that it makes me want to cry. How does our Government live with itself. The way I feel right now I don’t even want to live in this Country any more. Embarrassed to be an American after watching this.
Yes...I agree...shows like this should be required viewing in all high schools!!!! Let the kids hear real stories from the REAL HEROES!!! Maybe open their eyes and hearts more to the real sacrifices of our brave military soldiers!!!!
God Bless all of you Vietnam Combat Vets !!......HERO'S.........Goddam American HERO'S ...........every last one of you.......THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart......and WELCOME HOME SOLDIER !!
@@robertroselle5073 Relax, Abby Hoffman. These veterans didn't ask to be drafted and sent to a foreign land to fight and die. You can be against the Vietnam War all you want but these veterans answered their Nation's call and served it and they deserve all the respect in the world whether assholes like you understand that or not.
I have no direct family or friends that have ever fought in any war. However, I have so much respect for you people and I wish the best for every single one of you and your families. Thank-you to everyone that served in the Vietnam war.
I so agree with what you say, I am in awe listening to what these brave men have been through and ashamed for how they were treated when the returned to the USA
I have such incredible Respect for the Men of Vietnam; words can not express. I am too young to have been there, as I was BORN in '67. Regardless, I have such an incredible connection to that war, it makes me curious about multiple lives. I would have showered them with Rose Petals, not rocks, upon their return. I have so much compassion for ALL these men.. All I can say, is Thank you for Your Service & Sacrifice.
Thank you for serving our country. My Dad was combat Veteran 11th cavalry 1966-67. He passed on Aug 2017. His Dad my Granpa fought in France WW2. My Dad oldest brother was also combat Veteran Vietnam in Marine corps.
What America did to these heroes for a war they knew they would never win. And to those who give the ultimate for their country, never to see their America again. Job well done guys, you will never be forgotten.
All the vet... if u can let it go , please let it go . Your country honored you . No doubt you guys are hero . No matter what side you on .... you go when your country called . We appreciated it . the other side just want to put the past behind as quick as they can so they can move on and rebuild the country , no1 is upset or hold grudges at y’all ( either side ) Thx 🙏 you . Stay blessed . We know it u can do it again ... you would . All ur sacrifices will be remembered forever .
The old Cobra Pilot, he reminds me of my Highschool Athletics Coach who was also a Pilot on Vietnam, I know they are different people, but its was uncanny listening to him talk and then seeing the man behind the voice, God Bless all these men.

Vietnam veterans were my childhood hero's. They were the reason I joined and served in Iraq. I now understand that there is no glory in combat. Only suffering and destruction. I'm still very proud of what I did but I still look up to these veterans.
My uncle was kia near pleiku central highlands South Vietnam mid- 3/68, about the tail end of tet.He was with the 1st cav.div.. Happened 10 days b4 my 11th bday. Very sad time. 1968 was a crazy yr!! Also, I had knew a few neighbors whose sons were sent there between 1964-65 till 1970. And, some friends bros. Drafted or enlisted, went to nam! None came back normal! Pstd all the way!
Sorry about ur uncle. He served and gave it all. That's all he had. His precious life. He was a brave soldier he was. May he rest in peace, that good man.
Dear Mr, Soldier Guy, I am sorry. Thank You For: Going, Fighting, Suffering & Dying For Coming Home & For Sharing. We Love You, Respect You, Admire You & Honor You Yours Truly, FREEDOM
It was never declared a war. I only realized that this was a Police Action. However, if I had been there, I am sure I would call it a war. It was a war on the poor, both in the US and other places as well. I truly grieve for you guys. I was fortunate enough to have drawn a high draft number. At 19 years old I would have gone in the Navy as the jungle scared the hell out of me. So, for all you men and women that paid the price, I really salute and care about your service.
Good for you, Scotty boy. Best you stay out of the fight. I am a Viet Nam vet and I am glad I never had to deal with a wimp like you. Actually, you don't know shit about the Viet Nam War. Back to the safe space for you. We need men, not your limp-wristed salute.. like .
People in society are so disillusioned from the way life really is, were spoiled rotten as a whole. Life is so very precious, and here we take it for granted. Find what your looking for and hold on to it.
As a Nam Vet…Chu Lai 68-69 1st MAW…I was very lucky to be on an air base. The thing that has always bothered me was that NO ONE, not family, friends, coworkers ever asked me about Nam. It was like I was never there. Plus, coming home, I wasn’t bothered in any airport. But that was a good thing. And to all my Nam Vet Brothers and Sisters…WELCOME HOME.
You might be right about us. Plus the “war” had divided the country and it wasn’t like our past conflicts. Not a lot of victories to celebrate. Just a lot of “why are we here” questions. And over the years, I’ve wondered that same thing, why?
And the worst part is history is repeating itself with this 2021 Saigon style withdrawal in Afghanistan. The soldiers feel exactly the same way. All the soldiers we lost over there will be in vain because of politics. Our government never seems to learn
Oh, the Govt KNOWS. War is ALL about the Almighty Dollar Bill. Periodt. It's not about "liberating ppl", it's not about a ppl's "Freedom", it's not about "Helping" the less fortunate. No. It's all about the few folks who feel "High & Mighty" & feel "Entitled" to have total Control of the Globe. So they create Wars. Distractions & a way to make money. Unfortunately. It's Sad. But I have the utmost Respect for those Soldiers who DO have the best of intents, & DO put Their Lives on the line. Their Sacrifice is GREAT. I take care of Vets, as their in-home caregiver. I absolutely LOVE listening to their stories and memories. They are so special! One vet I care for says he was with the 25th Infantry Division B Company 65th Engineer (Combat), Mine Sweeps & Boobie Traps in Cambodia, 1970. He was 19 years old then. His memory is failing him some, as he has 1st stages of Alzheimer's, but He remembers his Sgt Spanky! His Sgt would come to his Hooch saying, "Come on Mason, Let's go get us some medals today!", & he came home with 3 Bronze Stars, All with Army Accommodations & All with Valor Under Fire! A True American Hero! Whether America was meant to fight in that war or not, whether the POLITICIANS served the needs of GREED over Country, this Soldier Saved Lives out there! Ours annnd Vietnamese! As he was walking point one day, 200 to 300 yards out in front, a Gook walked outta the jungle saying "Chu Hoy! Chu Hoy!" with his AK over his head! My guy didn't know what "Chu Hoy" meant!, but it meant "Surrender"! The gook wanted to surrender! My guy could've died or been injured that day, but he wasn't. God's Grace was overshadowing him and the Vietnamese soldier too, bc my guy could've shot & wounded or killed him too! Instead, my guy was able to hand over a Vietnamese fighter, who said he had been out there Eight Years & only fired his weapon ONE TIME. Meaning, He Never wanted to be there in the 1st place. He was handed over to my guys Sargent & treated better than his Own army had ever treated him. My guy received a Medal of Bravery for this🤍 My guy always says, "I can honestly say I've never killed anyone! I just shot in the same direction as everyone else!" This is HIS way of dealing & coping. Much Love & Respect
I 2qnna thank each and every one of these fine outstanding men... Thank you so much... I greatly appreciate each and every one of your constant sacrifices... SEMPER FI
Welcome home boys. Thank you for all you did. And to all those that sacrificed it all, we are grateful. You boys did your job, the government let you down. I can see the ptsd in the man's eyes going back to when he had to recover his dead comrades. We can't thank you guys enough.
Please. Please thank you for letting. Those. Men. Speak talk about something we had no business in getting involved in. I thank you all for your time and service My uncle was in the swift boat s but he has not been the same. Uncle since he came. Back home
I almost had to go there but miraculously I didn’t get called. I had the feeling every day that if I went, I wouldn’t come back. 2 guys from my high school didn’t come back. I as a lifelong civilian I salute (I know, improper for a civilian) all that served there; every war for that matter.
Have a number of family and close friends who were in Viet Nam. One close friend was there 3 weeks. He came back with half his right foot missing. Said he was in Da Nang for 3 weeks and the first time he left the base in a jeep they hit a small mortar that had been buried in the road. No one else got hurt and he was right back on his way to the states.I asked him what Viet Nam was like and he said” I don’t know, I was hardly there. Just long enough to leave my foot. But at least I’m not there now.”
There were many who were killed during their last week of required time!, some the last day! Most in secure places made it back but you could always hear the artillery going out!..
my grandpa was in vietnam and he can’t talk about it to this day because the ptsd is so bad. he never got into detail with anyone about it and i’m sure he’s gonna take everything he saw to the grave.
Please press VOAG to the left. This is a show dedicated to preserving this still living history. It will take a lot of balls by some promoter somewhere to put it on... meanwhile, please listen to the music and comment. This is a pro Veteran show ..... God Bless all our veterans.
@@markwebster5749 If it is ever produced, the producers will have control but we are committed to making sure they set aside a percentage for the Vets... we as writers will give our share... it sounds like pandering...but i am a son of Vets from WW1 and 2 also l was at HMS Conway in the 60s.... old fart! and always a supporter of our men and women who fight to keep us safe at night.

@@sillygoose2508 VOAG is about the way the Vets were treated. The writing team absolutely promise to make sure a percentage of any money generated by the show gets to the VVA (IF it ever finds a champion to put it out to the public) we have limited say over whoever puts it on... but that must be part of any deal. We have contacted the Wounded Warriors. If you have time... please watch, listen to the music and Comment?? All the best, John Sinclair, Steve Webb, Lin Anderson
@@deborahleone4351 please listen to VOAG... it is only the demo but it deals with this awful treatment... would love your input and comments!
@@deborahleone4351 yup. Granted, yes, the first amendment protects our freedom of speech, and people can feel however they want about the war, and if they're ignorant enough to believe that the people fighting in Vietnam were the ones guilty of causing the war in Vietnam, they sadly have the right to tell the veterans that however misguided and ignorant they may be. But when it crosses over to spitting on and throwing anything at the veterans who were lucky enough to return home alive they should have been locked up, charged, and convicted of felony assault. If I spit in a cop's face I'm going to prison, and it shouldn't have been any different for anyone who did such to any of our veterans returning home from Vietnam. If anything they should have received an even stiffer punishment for assaulting a returning veteran, they already went through more than enough hell without having it continue when they returned home.
One thing I remembered is that when my dad returned from Viet Nam ( he did 2 tours)- he returned home at night- we didn’t meet him at the airport - he always returned in the middle of the night- I always wondered if that was on purpose because of the treatment the our returning soldiers returned received and he didn’t want us to witness that
He was a gunman for Nixion .
So how would people know he is returning from Vietnam? Sounds like he took a local flight home.
@@SandfordSmythe it gets me how foolish people like you are
Thank you Vietnam veterans.
Not only was one of my uncle's killed in Vietnam, but my mother said atlesst 5 of her highschool classmates got killed in that war too.
God Bless all the Vietnam Vets that made it..
Who did invite your uncle and your high school classmates go to Vietnam and attack our country and then to be killed ? Who did tell them to bomb our house, people and children, our uncle and high school classmates too ? Wasn’t your Government? Stop blaming us and our Veterans who had to shoot the “uninvited guests” to protect our own country. You guys better find out a better options for the President election to manage your own messy country before spearing a blaming culture.
@@NgocNguyen-no3oy Exactly, sometimes it feels like they don't even know there were people being butchered 'over there' in fact even today iof you ask how many people were killed in Vietnam most will respond: 58,000... unbelievable, just too cruel. Okay, the soldiers were not treated like heroes as much as they were expecting when they went back home and many are seriously fucked because of what they saw and did, many of them were vicious beyond belief, torture, rapes, desruction, and the killing for no reason except killing but the most insane unbelievable serial murder was the carpet bombing of whole villages, people who had commited no crimes, who had nothing to defend themselves and could not understand what was happening, the other invaders were never so cruel, I watched a lot of documentaries about those wars but I cannot take it anymore, the heroin of Vang Pao in Laos, the agent orange birth defects, Pol Pot, the Diem brothers, My Ly, Project Phoenix, etc... the horror never stopped and now, no one remembers the Vietnamese? The real victims? You have good reason to be angry, tell everyone you know that they should be angry too and all of us not in the US join with you, you are not alone anymore. Peace to you and to your people, you deserve it.
@@NgocNguyen-no3oy dude, nobody is blaming you or your country for anything. The Vietnam War was a tragedy for all involved. You must be young and not yet wise enough to understand that. Vietnam and America are now friends and trading partners, also natural allies against Communist China. Remember the past but don't live in the past. The future for Vietnamese-American relations is very bright and you should focus on that future bro.
Thank you for your service and welcome home.
So much guts for so very little glory. God Bless em'.....
The Southern Vietnamese people thank them and love them with all their heart until this day. Is that enough glory for them?
THANK YOU for your Service, Sacrifice and Dedication! Welcome home!!
I was a grunt in Vietnam 1971. Not a day goes by I don't think about that tour in Vietnam. So different than any experience in my life....very intense. 70%ptsd disability and hearing loss.
Sir, please comment on VOAG... we need your input ... This is a demo of an idea... we want people to remember what you went through. Thanks you Sir.
I bet you didn't expect to come back and fight the VA for only 70% PTSD when you've suffered 100%of the memories of this horror for a life time! They Lie...We Suffer!
I know it's cliche to thank a vet, but you guys deserve much more than the VA and Uncle Sam can compensate for. God Bless.
Just starting my claim today 2pm , at our local VA. 76 years old 199th Lt. infantry Brigade 1966-67 VN
Thank you brother's. Doc Hutch... I'd like to thank all the Nurses too.
My heart goes out to you all give you it most respect hear stories from my dad and it hits home made me strong individual thank-you all foryour service
I love listening to these guys stories
You are right and correct. However I feel absolutely ashamed that these men were sacrificed like this. This is an absolute shame. After watching this I am ashamed to be an American. It’s no wonder all of these brave men didn’t go to Canada. Our leadership was disgusting then, and it’s deplorable now. This Country is so Corrupt that it makes me want to cry. How does our Government live with itself. The way I feel right now I don’t even want to live in this Country any more. Embarrassed to be an American after watching this.
@@danielwilliams3978 I couldn't agree more!
Wow this needs to be watched by more people amazing insight.
Yes...I agree...shows like this should be required viewing in all high schools!!!! Let the kids hear real stories from the REAL HEROES!!! Maybe open their eyes and hearts more to the real sacrifices of our brave military soldiers!!!!
I like a sex video
very brave men, thank you to the vet who said we needed to be there, my husband was in VN 69 70
Our Government should never have sent young American Men into Vietnam. America's Government is so corrupt even in 2021!!!! So sad.
God Bless all of you Vietnam Combat Vets !!......HERO'S.........Goddam American HERO'S ...........every last one of you.......THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart......and WELCOME HOME SOLDIER !!
✌️🇺🇸 Yes...All of Our Vietnam Veteran's are amongst...The Bravest. Love and Peace to each and everyone of you always...💞✌️
WHY??? Thanks for what??? Aggression against a nation that had done NOTHING to deserve invasion by the u.s.??
@@robertroselle5073 Relax, Abby Hoffman. These veterans didn't ask to be drafted and sent to a foreign land to fight and die. You can be against the Vietnam War all you want but these veterans answered their Nation's call and served it and they deserve all the respect in the world whether assholes like you understand that or not.
@@robertroselle5073 .......Blame your Government........not the warriors sent to do the dirty work.
@@jasondifelice1559 ......Well said.......Thank You Jason.
I have no direct family or friends that have ever fought in any war. However, I have so much respect for you people and I wish the best for every single one of you and your families. Thank-you to everyone that served in the Vietnam war.
I so agree with what you say, I am in awe listening to what these brave men have been through and ashamed for how they were treated when the returned to the USA
Welcome home!! You guys were all heroes and we love you.
I am a 68 yo Navy Veteran who salutes every Vietnam Veteran I encounter...God bless them
Thank you for your service
Don't salute them, take them somewhere and buy them a beer and maybe a sandwich, you can do that can't you?
I have such incredible Respect for the Men of Vietnam; words can not express. I am too young to have been there, as I was BORN in '67. Regardless, I have such an incredible connection to that war, it makes me curious about multiple lives.
I would have showered them with Rose Petals, not rocks, upon their return. I have so much compassion for ALL these men.. All I can say, is Thank you for Your Service & Sacrifice.
Thank you for serving our country. My Dad was combat Veteran 11th cavalry 1966-67. He passed on Aug 2017. His Dad my Granpa fought in France WW2. My Dad oldest brother was also combat Veteran Vietnam in Marine corps.

✌️🇺🇸 God Bless...All Of Our Brave Vietnam Veteran's...Forever. Thank you for your Service.🇺🇸 Never Will Be Forgotten ...💞Love and Peace to All...🇺🇸✌️
Like the saying goes "you may have left Vietnam BUT Vietnam doesn't leave you". Welcome Home Brothers
What America did to these heroes for a war they knew they would never win. And to those who give the ultimate for their country, never to see their America again. Job well done guys, you will never be forgotten.
I'm soooo sorry that these soldiers had to go thru what they went thru once they got home from Vietnam.
To all the vets, I am sorry that our government put you through these things. God bless you all
Hey! They were there to fight for a noble cause. No need to feel sorry for them!
CORRECTION: that battle occured in May 1969, not 1968 as stated in the narration.
Great stories, great insights from great men ALL.
Thank you for your service and welcome home
A fantastic documentary. Brave men one and all, and thank you for your service gentleman.

Lam, I was an Aussie grunt 68/69. Live in Vietnam now because I love your people.
The old Cobra Pilot, he reminds me of my Highschool Athletics Coach who was also a Pilot on Vietnam, I know they are different people, but its was uncanny listening to him talk and then seeing the man behind the voice,
God Bless all these men.
I'm from Pekin,Illinois and all these men are my heroes for doing what they had to do for our great country. And I thank each and everyone of them!!
Utmost respect for every veteran of Vietnam and all wars prior and post
I I paid a price for the army and I ve caught hell from the local people who have robbed me again and again and again and again and again this year again and they are don't stopped local people when you're the stranger who settle down here after 32years of DuPonts money I Moved to wallisvillie Texas off interstate 10 near lake charotte water supply for the City of Houston and Galveston Texas gps 8141 fm
Vietnam veterans were my childhood hero's. They were the reason I joined and served in Iraq. I now understand that there is no glory in combat. Only suffering and destruction. I'm still very proud of what I did but I still look up to these veterans.
Thank you to every Vietnam vet for your service from we the people of America
HEROES plain and simple thank you men for your service and sacrifice
50:20 - 51:20 very deep. All these guys deserve a beer and the utmost respect.
GOD BLESS YOU MEN!!!!
Thankyou all aswell as my father who served two tours there got military upbringing to join later and thank-you all daily godbless allofyous
Thank you for your service and sacrifice you gave. God bless
My uncle was kia near pleiku central highlands South Vietnam mid- 3/68, about the tail end of tet.He was with the 1st cav.div.. Happened 10 days b4 my 11th bday. Very sad time. 1968 was a crazy yr!!
Also, I had knew a few neighbors whose sons were sent there between 1964-65 till 1970. And, some friends bros. Drafted or enlisted, went to nam! None came back normal! Pstd all the way!
Sorry about ur uncle. He served and gave it all. That's all he had. His precious life. He was a brave soldier he was. May he rest in peace, that good man.
Thank you for this story. I now have a better understanding. Thank you Dad for your service.
Dear Mr, Soldier Guy,
I am sorry.
Thank You For:
Going, Fighting, Suffering & Dying For Coming Home & For Sharing.
We Love You, Respect You, Admire You & Honor You
Yours Truly,
FREEDOM
It was never declared a war. I only realized that this was a Police Action. However, if I had been there, I am sure I would call it a war. It was a war on the poor, both in the US and other places as well. I truly grieve for you guys. I was fortunate enough to have drawn a high draft number. At 19 years old I would have gone in the Navy as the jungle scared the hell out of me. So, for all you men and women that paid the price, I really salute and care about your service.
Good for you, Scotty boy. Best you stay out of the fight. I am a Viet Nam vet and I am glad I never had to deal with a wimp like you. Actually, you don't know shit about the Viet Nam War. Back to the safe space for you. We need men, not your limp-wristed salute..

67'-68' Central Highlands, Tet and all the rest...Another time, another place..Always there....Always.
Wow ! This was a great piece to watch ! Great men ! So much respect for each of them !
People in society are so disillusioned from the way life really is, were spoiled rotten as a whole. Life is so very precious, and here we take it for granted. Find what your looking for and hold on to it.

As a Nam Vet…Chu Lai 68-69 1st MAW…I was very lucky to be on an air base. The thing that has always bothered me was that NO ONE, not family, friends, coworkers ever asked me about Nam. It was like I was never there. Plus, coming home, I wasn’t bothered in any airport. But that was a good thing. And to all my Nam Vet Brothers and Sisters…WELCOME HOME.
I think people were indifferent because the vets had become too politicized. What can you say without stirring up things?
You might be right about us. Plus the “war” had divided the country and it wasn’t like our past conflicts. Not a lot of victories to celebrate. Just a lot of “why are we here” questions. And over the years, I’ve wondered that same thing, why?
Thank you for your service!!
And the worst part is history is repeating itself with this 2021 Saigon style withdrawal in Afghanistan. The soldiers feel exactly the same way. All the soldiers we lost over there will be in vain because of politics. Our government never seems to learn
Oh, the Govt KNOWS. War is ALL about the Almighty Dollar Bill. Periodt. It's not about "liberating ppl", it's not about a ppl's "Freedom", it's not about "Helping" the less fortunate. No. It's all about the few folks who feel "High & Mighty" & feel "Entitled" to have total Control of the Globe. So they create Wars. Distractions & a way to make money. Unfortunately. It's Sad. But I have the utmost Respect for those Soldiers who DO have the best of intents, & DO put Their Lives on the line. Their Sacrifice is GREAT.
I take care of Vets, as their in-home caregiver. I absolutely LOVE listening to their stories and memories. They are so special! One vet I care for says he was with the 25th Infantry Division B Company 65th Engineer (Combat), Mine Sweeps & Boobie Traps in Cambodia, 1970. He was 19 years old then. His memory is failing him some, as he has 1st stages of Alzheimer's, but He remembers his Sgt Spanky! His Sgt would come to his Hooch saying, "Come on Mason, Let's go get us some medals today!", & he came home with 3 Bronze Stars, All with Army Accommodations & All with Valor Under Fire!
A True American Hero! Whether America was meant to fight in that war or not, whether the POLITICIANS served the needs of GREED over Country, this Soldier Saved Lives out there! Ours annnd Vietnamese!
As he was walking point one day, 200 to 300 yards out in front, a Gook walked outta the jungle saying "Chu Hoy! Chu Hoy!" with his AK over his head! My guy didn't know what "Chu Hoy" meant!, but it meant "Surrender"! The gook wanted to surrender! My guy could've died or been injured that day, but he wasn't. God's Grace was overshadowing him and the Vietnamese soldier too, bc my guy could've shot & wounded or killed him too! Instead, my guy was able to hand over a Vietnamese fighter, who said he had been out there Eight Years & only fired his weapon ONE TIME. Meaning, He Never wanted to be there in the 1st place. He was handed over to my guys Sargent & treated better than his Own army had ever treated him.
My guy received a Medal of Bravery for this🤍
My guy always says, "I can honestly say I've never killed anyone! I just shot in the same direction as everyone else!" This is HIS way of dealing & coping.
Much Love & Respect
My dad's B'day...he,was Marine
Maybe they don't want to learn? Maybe it suits them?
But then no American was left behind. Like Biden did. And there still there. Over 300 days now
@( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).o shut up
Thank you for your very good documentary. But more thanks to all those that lived and died in Vietnam.
Talk to your local Vietnam veterans. They are gettin older and these were literally the last real soldiers.
Well done. Informative and moving.
Thank you so much for your service
All I have to do is close my eyes and I am back in Vietnam just like it was yesterday. It never goes away.
very well done. thank you
I am also a former Rakkassan from the 3rd of the 187th! I loved that story! I am from a more recent time tho. Such a badass documentary!
Awesome videos.....America's heros !!
God bless this warrior and his loved one's always!
Stay Strong Brothers 🙏👍
These men are still pissed off about hamburger Hill. What a tragedy!
Glad all you guys made it home, hope all of you are well.
I 2qnna thank each and every one of these fine outstanding men... Thank you so much... I greatly appreciate each and every one of your constant sacrifices... SEMPER FI
All of these guys are American heroes!
“Hero’s?” A “hero” is just a coward who slips into training when the s*** hits the fan.
Thank you for your sacrifices
God bless y’all. My father survived two tours-1st and 25th ID. PTSD and survivors’ guilt for many years.
Welcome home boys. Thank you for all you did. And to all those that sacrificed it all, we are grateful.
You boys did your job, the government let you down.
I can see the ptsd in the man's eyes going back to when he had to recover his dead comrades. We can't thank you guys enough.
Please. Please thank you for letting. Those. Men. Speak talk about something we had no business in getting involved in. I thank you all for your time and service My uncle was in the swift boat s but he has not been the same. Uncle since he came. Back home
Ever hear of SEATO? I think that speaks volumes for our involvement.
I almost had to go there but miraculously I didn’t get called. I had the feeling every day that if I went, I wouldn’t come back. 2 guys from my high school didn’t come back. I as a lifelong civilian I salute (I know, improper for a civilian) all that served there; every war for that matter.
P.O.W.
M.I.A.
Never Forget
Have a number of family and close friends who were in Viet Nam. One close friend was there 3 weeks. He came back with half his right foot missing. Said he was in Da Nang for 3 weeks and the first time he left the base in a jeep they hit a small mortar that had been buried in the road. No one else got hurt and he was right back on his way to the states.I asked him what Viet Nam was like and he said” I don’t know, I was hardly there. Just long enough to leave my foot. But at least I’m not there now.”
There were many who were killed during their last week of required time!, some the last day! Most in secure places made it back but you could always hear the artillery going out!..
my grandpa was in vietnam and he can’t talk about it to this day because the ptsd is so bad. he never got into detail with anyone about it and i’m sure he’s gonna take everything he saw to the grave.
Please press VOAG to the left. This is a show dedicated to preserving this still living history. It will take a lot of balls by some promoter somewhere to put it on... meanwhile, please listen to the music and comment.
This is a pro Veteran show ..... God Bless all our veterans.
