      Tyler Barrett That’s because the government sent them into a war that we had no business being in and the genera public was also against the war. When they came back from war they were ridiculed and looked down upon. Even WW2 vets were against them because they were seen as the great generation because they came home victorious. The experiences they had also still haunt many of them and they never received the care they needed. That’s why so many Vietnam Vets ultimately commit suicide.

    I'm a Black guy who grew up on the mean streets of Compton CA in the early 1970s at a time when you had to be tough or at least have a rough edge about yourself just to survive. Seeing videos like this one is priceless, especially since many fathers simply weren't around for their children at that time or had passed away at an early age. It's a true blessing for this family to still have their 99-year-old Dad around with his mental facilities still intact so he can appreciate the moment. It's funny how at my age now it's the simple loving moments given to or by your family that's feels the most important. To the 300 plus individuals who gave this video a thumbs down, if this type on video doesn't warm your heart nothing will!!!!

    What a wonderful thing to do for your dad, he's fantastic, to still have his faculties at 99 years old is truly a gift. I think he is 2 years older than my dad would have been, unfortunately he passed away in 2011 aged 88. He was also a WW2 Veteran, In his case a paratrooper in the British Army. You must be as proud of your dad as I was of mine. Just like the car, they don't make them like that anymore. It was truly emotional to see him drive his beloved car again. It is wonderful that you were able to grant his wish. He is a very lucky man to have such a loving family.

    My cousin and I did something similar with my grandpa's '57 Chevy Bel Air.
    Sadly my grandpa passed a month or so before we finished it, but he knew we were fixing it up for him. Now every year we take it for a drive to go visit his grave so he can see it running again.
    Every time I take it for a spin I can swear I feel his presence in the car with me. That car was a major milestone for him in his life. First car he bought with his own money and it was the car he took my grandma on their first date in. Now that it's up and running we plan to keep it that way. It's what he would have wanted.

    I noticed the built in Texas by Texans sticker in the rear window. That means the car was built at the old Ford Motor Company plant on East Grand Avenue in old East Dallas. My dad worked at the plant at that time and may have had a hand in building this car. Happy birthday Mr. West and thank you for your service!
