    Great song, but tough song for me to listen to. I came home, and many did not. In the early part of my time in Vietnam, I went with a buddy to fix a phone line near the 15th Aerial Port, at Danang Air Base. A group of men were using forklifts to load Air Force C130s, and we wondered what the shiny boxes were on the pallets they were loading. Then we saw. Stacks and stack of aluminum caskets being shipped home, the bodies of young men, mostly. Just like us. I don't care if anyone "thanks me for my service" or not. I care that the sacrifices of those went before us were not in vain, and that we preserve and protect the ideals they fought for. Semper fi.

      i know how you feel i lost some good friends in afgan and iraq some i went to basic with so we became good close so hearing about them being gone or actually watching one go its not easy. I do remember having to go to the VA about a year ago and i saw and old Nam vet so I thanked him and welcomed him home i could not believe it but he started crying and told me i was the first one outside the VA to welcome him home as he lost his family while he was in the war so he had nobody to come home to and even after all these years nobody thanked him or welcomed him home to me that's just sad. and semper fi you jarhead from a retired army soldier

      My son, USMC, fought in Afghanistan and returned a deeply wounded warrior, Semper Fi. My dad, USMC, served in Pacific and his nephew served in Korea, my cousin never walked quite right again, later buried in Arlington. My 6 Uncles fought in WW2 in the army, navy and USMC Europe and Pacific. All said the same, “we fought to preserve and protect this great country.” Every one of them heroes in my eyes.

    I have always loved this song and video. It wasn't until I got to watch this higher quality version that I was able to make out the emotion in the facial expression of Mrs. Malone's face near the end of the video when they go back to the scene of her as she's watching her son head off to war. Definite props to the actress who played her for being able to tug at my heartstrings in such a brief shot with nothing more than body language and facial expressions.

    Imagine how the lady felt essentially giving away that car.
    There's no way that car was only worth $1000 to her. It has way more sentimental value then $1000 even if she didn't know the type of car it was her sons car. she waited for a long time to sell it and was probably reminded everytime she saw it in the barn

    • @gregrowe1168
      @gregrowe1168 8 месяцев назад +1

      I wonder if she felt so much sorrow over the car still being there that she just wanted it gone. But in real life, it wouldn't have simply sat there all that time. Some family member would ended up with it. It wouldn't have looked that nice after sitting for 30 years. Even not being driven and covered up, it was in a barn, not a climate controlled museum. There would have been a lot of rust.

They gave us OUR future by giving up everything they had and everything they were ever gonna have.. Most of them did that between the ages of: 18 to 25. Humbling.
