I was 17 years old when I got to Vietnam-1966 through 1969 ( My mom had to sign a waiver for me), I grew up fast and learned a lot, good and bad. (I am now 73 and still learning). I was stationed on the USS Providence and also stationed in Country at a place called "Monkey Mountain" close to DaNang, by the DMZ. I spent 3 tours of duty in and around Vietnam. 3 of my high school friends were killed in Vietnam, I was spared. I participated in the TET Offensive in Feb 1968, that was bad. There were many Vietnam songs back then that I just loved by CCR, this song is one of them, I still listen to them every now and then. To all Vietnam Vets out there, you are not forgotten.
Y`m just yunger, in 66 i was 6-x? but my uncle fault in Danang (may be felt-my english is very poor-i learned it at shcool in early 70-s).But(?) I remmember this desolustination: our generation have no hopes to be sent to Vietnam,wheare we can shoot the Americans.And in ewerything,but else-Yu`re a great Man and in something greatesness- we are listening one-by-one muisic.May be we can unerstand each-other?
По русски это называется "Со всем уважением"
You are not forgotten .. it maybe many years and far away but it still counts for a lot to people like me who appreciate what you did for your fellow servicemen
Thank you for your service!!!!!!
Thanks for serving, I salute you!
For my brother who gave his life in Vietnam at 19 years old.
Your brother is honored and respected , A brave young soul is watching over you and your family, bless him for fighting for his country!
@@liluziburnt7678 TU for your comment on my brother
My uncle just passed away from being exposed to agent orange from when he was in Vietnam! I was in the Marines (0331) I did two tours in Iraq and I can tell you this. World War 1, 2, Korea, and Vietnam these were men!! Not only did the Drill Instructors, and Drill Sergeants beat the hell out of these guys. There training and the Wars they fought in was bad!!! They didn’t even know what PTSD was!!!
@@bfry38 I'm truly sorry for your loss. I've been going to the VA. For health care 22yrs I go to the Memphis Tennessee VA I can't count how many Brothers I've lost to that Dam chemical!!! I've called wrote nasty ass letters to Dow chemical Co. It seems like when they tested pos . they didn't last long I apologize for being so long winded . the VA hospital waiting rooms are full 24/7 of head shaking crying veterans an the young people come in tore all to hell from 2 to 4 tours Afghanistan & Iraq vets! Again my condolences
Thank you sir. I really appreciate it! It’s to bad about all the vets that have to suffer with that. He worked his whole life and never got to enjoy it! His wife has dementia and she keeps looking for him. It’s a messed up situation to say the least! Prayers to you all!
I'm a former Marine, I served in Afghanistan. My Father was a Marine, he served in Nam. Much Love I send you!.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
so who did you serve you idiot
Thank you and your father sir.
I served in Cyprus during the Iraq war and this video remembers me those times.
also one of my friend who served in Afghanistan put a foot in a mine and lost a leg,,, he killed himself.... War is dirty but necessary.
IM A COW BOY WITH SPURS
My husband is a decorated Vietnam veteran suffering from the effects of Agent orange. He had battled PTSD and I will forever be so thankful to him and all veterans for their sacrifices. God bless all of them.
Men are warriors we endure things that women won't ever fathom!

CCR is the official band of the Vietnam War
*The official band of the American veteran.
I agree
@@ididntmeantoshootthatvietn5012 You don't know if that man served in the vietnam war, It doesn't matter how people type.
@Dale Hansen i hate to see you did this but don't you think that maybe you are disrespecting and dishonoring the 53,280 of your fellow brothers-in-arms who didn't come home alive? i am also a military veteran and i fly my flag high. so take care ok.
.
While i agree that CCR is the band of the Vietnam war, it is important to note that the band was not pro war, very class conscious, and against the exploitation of our troops dying needlessly in war Vietnam didn't deserve to be part of, and our troops should have never been sent. Both sides died needlessly in an attempt for what? US imperialism. What is worse, is they didn't even accomplish the goal, as it was damn near impossible given the conditions of jungle warfare in a foreign country.
Many of our vets came home and lived in poverty, had ptsd, and became homeless. That was their reward for a sacrifice many of them didn't want to participate in, hence the damn draft which forced them.
My father suffered with nightmares and a urge to want to go back til the day he died. May he finally find the peace he never could find in life. And rest in peace to all those who served and serve. Aman.
Much Respect
My husband never wanted to go back, he didn't like to talk about it, he buried it. He didn't start talking to me about it until we'd been married 20 years! The nightmares never ended. I had to make him fight for his benefits, he didn't want any part of the Government! At least he didn't die angry, God took his mind and erased all his demons! R.I.P. Danny. See ya soon!

Thanks for your service
So was my DAD he died Dec 30th 2016 LRRP RANGER. Esprit de Corps RLTW!!!
Keep on rocking man 👍
6 uncle's and my father served in Vietnam, lost my dad and two uncles, those that survived came back changed. Two of my uncle's pretty much adopted me and I seen something they would never show others, both taught me so much camping and hunting they learned in Vietnam. Marines was my choice and no one really wanted me to go, all the drill instructor's in 78 were Vietnam vets that taught us, all said I owe my life to the ones who served in Vietnam because the 21 year's I served was by the unselfish education those vet's gave me.
i did not come back changed. but i noticed my gf changed and i kicked her to the curb. my friends changed so to the curb. music changed. and when i later noticed strangers changed i knew something was wrong! you just can't admit it right away and you'll never be the same person that left for nam.
@@yoharve it was the same for me and iraq it took me about 10 years to figure it out hell 17 years later im still trying to figure it out
I'm so proud of you and of your family. I love America but its not the America I grew up in. Today not many young men would have the character of your family.
Than you for your service Mark and my condolences regarding your dad and uncles.
@Nick Dickens Semper Fi Nick I was there in 1990
I can remember as a little girl, that when my brother was drafted into the Vietnam War, my father told the Army:
"You can't have him. 2 of my boys in Vietnam is enough".
2 of my brothers were already over there and we're not even Americans. WE'RE AUSTRALIANS.
I think the USA too easily forgets the sacrifices made by its allies in the Vietnam war. Over 500 of my countrymen, died there. Many were wounded. Many more came home with what would turn out to be cancer caused by Agent Orange.
My brother came home then was taken almost immediately to the army hospital in Sydney with severe malaria. After a couple of weeks the hospital rang my mother and told her not to expect him to be coming home.
Thousands still today suffer with PTSD. Let alone the suicides.
While our soldiers were out on patrol they would be saturated by Agent Orange as it was sprayed on the jungles they were walking through. 2 years ago my brother Ian died after a long and painful battle to breathe and move, as a result of a chest cancer typical of the type caused by Agent Orange.
That war didn't just steal the lives and sanity of Americans. It stole the brothers I remembered from me. Inevitably they were different when they eventually came home, but being the youngest sister I didn't understand. As I grew up I realised more the incredible stress and fear my family lived with as a result of Vietnam. It stole my childhood.
Even now, all these years later I still flinch at the sound of helicopters on TV and in movies, and going overhead. I go straight back to the late 60s and early 70s, watching the ABC Australia News on our black and white TV and seeing men like my brothers running hard to get to rescue choppers in long battered grass.
I spent a good part of my childhood writing letters to my brothers on super-thin airmail writing pads, and making biscuits (cookies) for them, making sure I got the recipes right (Edward liked more walnuts, Ian liked more dried currants).
I remember my mother getting annoyed with me because I didn't pack the little treacle tin full of biscuits right.
She said they were too loose and they would get broken.
It wasn't until many years later I realised that it wasn't so much that she was annoyed with me, but in her mind she was seeing the little tin, wrapped over and over with thick brown paper and tied tightly with string, crashing to the ground, in some God forsaken grassy field along with mail and parcels from all the other families waiting and praying and living in fear that they would never see their brothers and sons and fathers again.
And for what?
Ain’t war hell? And yeah you’re right, many Americans have a centralized view of history and it’s mostly due to how the American education system runs. Americans who have served know the sacrifices and acts by our allies, but casual civvies don’t understand or learned about it
Powerful story, thank you very much for sharing it and I hope You are doing well.
I missed Vietnam by a year or 2. My oldest brother was there. He never talked much about it. I met a Vietnam vet about 10 years ago, who said he killed 5 people there. He was clearly haunted by it. I've heard America killed about 2 million people in that war. I think we racked up a lot of bad karma there. You're right: "and for what?"
Did two tours in Nam ; 67-68 & 70-71. Was a 19 year trooper during Tet 68 and drew 1st blood. Am 5th generation army and it was my home for 22 years. Came out of retirement for Operation Desert Storm.
Im sorry to those who fought and died in those jungles, you are not forgotten.
amen my was there
one stupid ass war
You don't have anything to be sorry for. It's the stinking American government that needs to be sorry. A war that didn't need to be fought. All because the Vietnamese wanted to govern themselves.
Amen.
Amen
My dad was a Vietnam Veteran... He passed away in 2011 after a long fight with health issues from Agent Orange. He struggled with depression and PTSD from his time in Vietnam. I pray for all who served and suffer. You will never be forgotten and I thank each of you for your sacrifice.
Heroes verdaderos dios les bendiga.
Lovely post. My elders were in WW2. I failed to honor them. Failed to tell them so. What I wouldn't give to have 5 minutes with them to tell them so.
Who used Agent Orange against humans?

So sad. My cousin also died from complications from agent orange.

Sorry for your loss sir. I can't imagine how I would feel when my dad dies.
I enlisted in the USMC after graduating from HS in 1973,. I wanted to go to Vietnam like my cousin who had 2 tours in Nam the last was in 1968 in a place called Khe Sanh. There he received a Silver Star on a rock pile of all places. Before Nam he was the prince of our family,. Never was the same when he came home. After serving 22 years he spent the rest of his life in the deep woods of east Texas,. On his front porch you could find him drinking whiskey and smoking pot. Once I asked what it was like,. He always answered I'm glad you didn't go,.. With tears falling from his face.
yes it was bullshit the start of money mongers that started it..lots of money in arnament cannon fodder counts not
The exact same response from my grandfather as a wee boy when I asked about WWII.
I met someone in my early days in the National Guard, who could not leave it behind. As many of us were Vietnam veterans, we knew where he was coming from. He eventually went insane.

Agent orange is a fuckin killer , three of my brothers were tested at the Memphis VA, after testing they didn't last two years!! Fuckin government!! R.I.P. all my brothers I miss y'all!!!
@@sullysquid674 HOW LITTLE YOU KNOW. It coated our soldiers! And, no, they didn't die instantly. It was a strong carcinogen that devastated foliage and caused terrible cancers and health problems after exposure--sometimes years after. And, for many, the government denied responsibility for it.
I served. Fortunately I was based in the States my entire service time. Thanks for those that sacrificed so much for so little recognition. I apologize to the Vietnam vets that came home to such attitude of American people. Thank you for my ongoing freedom. God bless you all
Same here. I was stationed at Redstone Arsenal for two years. I got to see Werner von Braun speak. For being from the WWII era, he seemed young. (he was in his mid-sixties) Thirty years later I drove down there in 2002 and was shocked to see nothing left of my barracks, the movie theater and the PX diner we used to frequent. I think the tornado that devastated Huntsville leveled much of it. The Quonset huts where I stayed when I took AIT were all gone too, with just their cement slabs left. I felt like a part of me was erased. One thing that was noteworthy was how thoroughly the MPs searched my car because 9/11 was the year before.
I had a number but it was high and late in the war. Later became a doctor and was proud to care for Viet Nam vets at the VA in Muscogee, OK while in training.
It's so hard to believe so much time has passed. We were so young then. Every minute is still vivid in my mind.
We all going to get there
You and every soldier who has ever fought in all of time who made it through it.
Amen.
My heart hurts for you all
50 years ago. Boone High class of 70. 3 year hitch. Honorable. My old man piloted a B29 off Tinian in '45. What else could I do but enlist. Should have known better.
After having done two tours in Afghanistan, it is just crazy to think we fought a war like this. So much respect for these men. The terror and fear must have been overwhelming.
We not only fought, but accomplished feats of arms unmatched in warfare since. Just like you, the politicians got us in, fk'ed around, and got us out without the job being done.
They where Invaders in someone's else's home just the exact same way Russia is doing in Ukraine.
Don't you me an international policing? It was never declared a war.. sounds pretty familiar now that I think of it...
Crazy to think that it was a lie that got us involved in the first place. Gulf of Tonkin? Complete fabrication. At least 70 years of lies ....
@@verbic96 you do realize we never invaded North Vietnam. South Vietnam was at war with the north we were helping South Vietnam. Thats not an invasion.

My grandfather served in Angola during the portuguese colonial war (1966-68) and he used to say "at least we were not in vietnam" and still had some moments in the african jungle.

I started reading the obits in my teens to see what classmates didn't make it home. I thought that was as bad as it could get. My mistake ... the 3rd grade. It doesn't get much sadder than that. What a heartbreaker this war was.
RIP to that brave soldier 🙏 , and we never forget ,,,, ever ,
@@susiecorus7842 I'm.a little confused. If you were in your teens your classmates were too.
My great grandfather was stationed aboard the USS Saginaw Bay during the latter half of world war two as a backup TBM avenger gunner. He is 98 and still tells new stories. He recently had a great great grandson.
One cousin of mine fought in Vietnam from 67/68 in recce company - lots of KIA.
Still solid these days, great guy.❤
God's grace and mercy has kept me safe after the freedom bird brought me home 52 years ago. But still behind every smile is my dry tears for my lost brothers I still love and miss. My 3 sons still hug me when they see me gazing into the past. The heroes die but the other hero has to live to tell the stories of them. DaNang 1969.

The last part of your comment reminded me of the song
"I'm a Lucky One" by SSgt Barry Sadler from his1966 album
"Ballad of the Green Berets"
"I'm a Lucky One"
I’m going home, my tour is done
I’m going home, I’m a lucky one
But I left friends behind me
Who won’t come home no more
Yes many friends remain forever
On that bloody shore
But at night when I sleep, I know my dreams will be
About my friends I left across the sea
I’ll here verbal young men harn, laugh again out loud
We’ll all be together in a happy crowd
But then I hear the sound of bullets whining overhead
Feel the crash of morters and all my friends are dead
My friends they fought and gave their all
My friends they died for freedoms call
As my dream was ending, they’ll come and say goodbye
Though I’m sound asleep a tear I’ll cry
And they say something which fills my heart with pain
Tell them about us Sadler, don’t let us die in vain
I’m going home, my tour is done
I’m going home, I’m a lucky one

My Husband was a Sergeant in the airborne rangers and Did two tours in Vietnam. The second one he did because he had two younger brothers he was afraid if they were drafted in the second draft they would not come back alive and he did not want his mother to go through that. He told me he knew he would make it back a second time! And he did. He had PTSD Pretty bad when he came home but I learned how to deal with it and when he had one of those spells how to get him out of it. He is still alive and Kickin today! And always says if they took old men veterans To fight he would go back in a heartbeat!
Annette, thank him for me, great group the Rangers.
omg GOD BLESS your husband. My uncle was an Airborne Ranger in Vietnam with the 101st Airborne Lima company Rangers. GOD BLESS em
They usually don't draft brothers with the same name. Even now in 2022 they try not to deploy family members at the same time incase 1 gets killed
Vietnam vets are fuckin badass people.
My Grandpa who got drated in Vietnam was 18 and he got the Staff Sergeant Rank after, he was in it for a while and he has 2 Purple Hearts and was in the Army in the 25th Division and my mom said when he gets defensive he always says "If it's a war you want, you better bring big guns". Hes still alive and I go drink a beer with him.
God bless him! Hope he's doing fine
My dad was in Vietnam
Wow 2 years to Staff Sergeant / NEVER heard of that happening.
Wanna see his Rank patches? He was in the Military for 2 years you prick
I'm glad there isn't assholes in the comments saying "wArCriMers" is disgusts me people even think like that it really truly hurts when people disrespect the Vets.. no matter what you did, if you were in a war, you deserve respect.
These are the guys that taught me to fly. I am so grateful. Thank you.
Respect to those who fought in this war. My grandfather was lucky enough to survive, but alot of others weren't so fortunate. RIP heroes 🙏
My uncle died a few yrs ago after a long battle w Asian orange! Miss ya uncle woody!!!!
@@lwoods7283 my condolences, RIP
You could say they ain't no fortunate son
That is the fate of military personnel who are deployed into hostile territory. I myself survived, only by the grace of God. Had witnessed incoming rockets on my first day over there in Cam Ranh Bay, and again as I was on my way out waiting for a flight from Da Nang to Chu Lai. I knew I was safe when the plane departed Cam Ranh Bay for the flight home.
Still makes no bloody sense to me this Vietnam war and I don't think it ever will , It still makes no sense as to why it started and what it was all over about, it's like if they just wanted to cause trouble just to cause trouble, really crazy!!!
My Dad returned from Nam on a stretcher. I was 10 years old and remember it like it was yesterday. At least he came home. So many didnt. 😔🇺🇸
I’m turning 55 next week & I remember CCR n the 70’s. Nothing but badass Rocking & Rolling!!!!!
One of the best classic rock songs ever.
I'm a widow of Viet Nam, my husband wasn't the same when he returned. That era was my straight hell
Just brought home the remains of an airman shot down during the Vietnam war, what an awesome day. Never seen so much patriotism in all my life.
Went to Nam in late 69 barely Nineteen from the day I landed and flew to Pleiku I can remember every day like it was yesterday for all the vets out there I’m sure you experience the same everyday it never goes away God bless you all!
to all the Vets who fought all over the world for better things. In my heart with this song from France
My respect for the Vietnam Veterans.
Yea respect to all vets of all wars
Amen
That include the vietnamese veterans?
@@swagcandy2576 yes all though they where horrible...we did some horrible things too
@Big Ben the ones who did the atrocity's were not American... they were monsters...and they were on both sides
Classic song and the words ring true with every verse. This video reminded me of being choppered to the bush in I Corps to a mountain top named LZ Bushwhack in July-August 1969. We had a 105mm Howitzer slung under neath the airframe. Gun Six. Intense fire missions up there and the nites got cold too. We supported M/3/7 Grunts on operations. This video gave me an intense flashback to that time. The beat and rhythm makes the nerves real happy. God Bless all of you...
What unit were you with? I was with K/4/13 and W/3/13 from from August '68 to February '69, when I was wounded bad enough to be medevaced to Japan and then to Brooke General Hospital in San Antonio.
@@GradyPhilpott Golf/3/11 1st Marine Division, I Corps. Hills 10,55,65,LZ Pony, Bushwhack, Baldy, and LZ Ross. I was Danny on Gun Six, 105mm Howitzers. April 1969 through October 1969. I was medevaced for severe hearing loss.
Salute, & thank you for your service. Words aren't enough to describe the debt the nation owes you & and all those who never came home.
@@smarticus4388 Thank you.God Bless...
i turned 17 and my mother sighned me to the marines/ and left proudly and served my time in vietnam/ was an M60 MACHINE GUNNER/ SERVED PROUDLY IN THE MARINES
SEMPER FI MARINE FROM A MARINE 69-71
We who served there will NEVER forget our brother in arms
And I’ll not forget YOU! Thank you, truly, for ALL that you’ve sacrificed. Be Well - God Bless you❣️🇺🇸❣️
Just wish I was old enough then to stomp the worthless protestors at the airport when them brave soldiers came home. My uncles went thru it & couldnt beleive it when they returned!!
@@whippledmarauder1159 ….I remember running through LAX (11yrs old) toward my Dad
@@whippledmarauder1159 ….(ooops! Cut myself off there 🤣)……Anyway….running at him, jumping into his arms, Mom right with me….finally coming back-down-to-Earth and….looking around…people were glaring at my Dad! Scowling at him!! I remember it clearly….didn’t comprehend it (at that time anyway). Man-O-Man was I ever SO HAPPY that he made it back!! Yep, I’m with ya…I’d stomp the shit outta them today!
@@kellyford5903 yea crazy times ,protesting something is fine but to disrespect the young men who were doing a service. Worst part of it them protestors are now politicians!!
I had a uncle that served in Vietnam he was a great man. He will be missed.
My teacher served in the vietnam war
@team killer my grampa is a veteran
I just lost my uncle David last month.he was the closes man I had as a good role model he died from his dementia..My uncle made me feel so proud..he was a hardcore marine n he did 2 tours in Vietnam n he volunteered each time..he use to scare the hell out of me when I was a kid just the way he breathe..My uncle kicked ass n He was a true patriot...I miss him so much..he never talked about the war until a few years ago n our family was blessed to get him back safely..they played taps at his funeral n did the gun salute n flag to my aunt..I lost it when they played taps..he was my uncle n more..rest easy uncle Dave n to all the other vets who survived these wars n came home.. Everyone should be more there for our Vietnam vets..
I love to honor our Vietnam veterans and heros not forgotten
I was only 6 when you went there but I will NEVER forget what you did for us - thank you for your service
My pap (grandpa) was a Vietnam vet, a man who will never talk about his time over there but is one of the beat ive ever met, rip grandma, his wife passed 3 weeks ago.
Anyone who was served in this war has my total respect my grandpa Dick was an Army medic for the 1st infantry in Vietnam he only carried an M1911 pistol and he flew in on choppers and helped the wounded and got them out
Thank you my grandfather was drafted when he was 18 and the stories he told shit I even have nightmares about that kinda stuff he was on night watch one night when a bunch of VC attacked the base they was stationed at
Medics deserve much respect. Tell your grandfather his nation is proud of him
@@leetaige7440 thanks comrade i would but he is no longer with us
This song reminds me of my cousin. He was in Vietnam. Sadly he had a stroke and passed away. It was so cool May he rest in peace 2023
I'm a daughter of a WW2 veteran.Dec.7th 1941, Pearl Harbor. Daddy was 40 when I was born. I thank all the veterans. 🇺🇸
You boys were brave men and probably didn't know it at the time. Bless you boys.
They knew it, it was some American people that didn't know it when they came back home, they treated them like shit, Just fucking unbelievable how some of the American citizens treated their Vietnam vets the way that they did.
Crazy Canuck Not all Americans treated them badly
@@user-fq3co9wh9d Thank you I corrected my comment.
@@crazycanuck2578 Why did they treat them like shit?Because of they civilian casualities?
@Thomas Fannon True they never achieved their own independence they wanted at the time.
My great uncle was a chopper gunner for a rescue/ MedEvac Huey and his heli got shot down on one of his finally rescue missions. He somehow barely made it out but lost some of his leg in the crash. He is still alive today and doing pretty good and it’s so fascinating to hear all of his stories!
I can tell you Angolan stories see what the Soviet bra's say about it no sweat. Wtf are you fighting a war 10000 miles away from home for? To fight communists? ag please get away..we fought them on home ground to do what? Our country has gone to the dogs and no one cares not the Brits or Americans..Thank God some Europeans care so were not murdered outright only slowly..Glen..South African (we cannot fight politicians that scream kill white people whilst we are friends whith all people and they with a few cohorts kill and torture farmers,wives and babies in 2022..really? Why did we fight? For Uranium and other minerals as in North Korea has? It comes from South Africa of course and that was what the fight was all about.
omg Ghost i too was a huey chopper pilot Serch find recover attached to a field hospital

This new generation hasn't got a clue what they could still be drafted. If it came to a ground war.
Thank you Vietnam Veterans
from the bottom of my ❤,
Peace and Welcome Home!
dad served in army WW2,
son-marine in Afghanistan Operation Enduring Freedom,
daughter-army national guard.
3 older sibs all served.
💔WAR💔IS💔HELL💔😿
I always enjoy CCR with my great uncle, a Vietnam Veteran. He was a young Mexican-American, thousands of miles from home (the New Mexican desert) running through the jungles of Vietnam with many others just like him.
nunca olvidaremos su sacrificio.
My Daddy,and at least one of his brother s, uncle Franky, served during "Nam". I'm proud of them and I'm honored to be their kin. I want to welcome you all home who made it. You all honored yourself s, your country and we all owe you. Thanks
The harmonica adds so much to the trepidation, sound…darn spooky. It’s like time stands still.
Great video. Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) running thru the jungle is the icing on the cake
gf grandpa was 18 drafted right out of HS into the army. spent 3 weeks alone in the jungle after his fireteam(he was a sgt at the time) all got killed off in a ambush. he sat in a foxhole alone for a week eating bugs and eventually started walking down a road for 2 weeks dodging enemy peoples and all that jazz till he found friendlies. his health is bad due to the gas that was dropped from the planes(he was in combat a shit ton) glad to say hes remarried, got alot of money, and is living with atleast some peace now. just some good news to hear:)
My Husband told me about being ambushed, said 9 went in 2 came out, he was one of the 2.Every time they went out, they got ambushed! Turned out, their guide/interpreter was a double agent and giving out their locations/missions to the enemy! Yeah, they killed him!
OUTSTANDING,BEING DRAFTED WOULD HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE.ONE OF MY UNCLES RETIRED AS MAJOR IN ARMY. HE ENLISTED.HIS YOUNGER BROTHER,MY UNCLE WAS DRAFTED IN ARMY.HE HATES THE ARMY STILL TODAY.SOME SERIOUS ISSUES WHEN HE CAME BACK.I ENLISTED IN USMC IN 81.NOONE IN FAMILY COULD BELIEVE IT.MY DAD ESPECIALLY AS HE WAS A JUMPMASTER IN 82ND AIRBORNE.THEY ASKED WHY THE MARINES,BECAUSE WHEN THINGS GET BAD I WANT TO LIVE.AND I DID
Guys I'am from hungary. One of my grandad had to levae Hungary in 1956. He went to the U.S and when the war started he was a lieutenant at the navies. He stayed in Nam from 1965 to 1970. He served almost 5 years. Sadly I can't met with him personally, but his memory will always live in my heart.
Ahh, Have faith, you'll see him again!
That's an American.
To all the Vietnam vets, I’ve always had a spot for y’all in my heart. Had the a1 tattood on my chest when I was young. Built my first a1 years ago. I’ll always love y’all and support y’all guys, god bless.
Every man I see with a Vietnam veteran hat on I’m gonna start saying thank you for your service sir. This was an absolute brutal war. My papaws brother Edward was a Vietnam vet and fought on hamburger hill. He only told one story of it to anyone before he died. We all think he told his wife more about it, but she will not say anything
My brother-in-law, Harold Chauvin, was at Hamburger Hill. 101st Airborne, Screaming Eagles.
@@stanleypaulwroblewsk
Ask him if he knows anyone that was over there with the last name Cronan. They called him “Ed” Edward
@@non-biasedfalconfan7202 Will do! Thanks for his service!
My Dad never talked of this war or what he saw......he played this song alot and I'm pretty sure it summed it up enough for what I needed to know. Thank you all who served and sacrificed.

Creedence really captures the essence of music from the Vietnam War era. Shoutout to my Father who served in Vietnam from 1967-1970 during some of the war’s worst years . RIP Dad you are missed - a special RIP to all who lost their lives in that conflict
I grew up listening to their music My dad was a Vietnam veteran and played this song many times when his friends came over To remember the friends they lost there.
