Got my 1st draft notice after Tet in 1968...I was still a senior in high school. By that fall I was in boot camp & arrived in Vietnam July 7, 1969 for my first tour. I'm now 75 & amazed that I'm still vertical and breathing.
My father served. I could not serve due to medical that probably came from his service there. I respect all those who served and, in particular, those who saw combat. You all will have my undying gratitude.
I am a full grown man and within 3mins i was crying like a baby. So many still unaccounted for, so many families living with NOT knowing.... It's been soo long but they and their sacrifices should NOT and as long as I'm alive WILL NOT be forgotten.
Marine Nam Vet here. Lost a few good friends over in crap hole. Came home with my best friend. 71 years old now. It never leaves you. SEMPER FI BROTHERS.
You attacked them without provocation. You were the imperialist aggressor. The Vietnamese simply fought to free their homeland from generations of occupiers. You would have done the same thing if somebody invaded your homeland. Glad you made it back alive.
@@Namratiugyou obviously lack any sense of reality. The NV were fighting the freedom seekers in the south.. if the USA is so “imperialistic “, name 1 piece f land they claimed through any war since ww2. Clown
Just clicked on this and realized what it was and cannot watch. I was there 1st Marine Division 68-69, I am still there. To all my brothers and sisters whose names are on our wall Semper Fi, I remember and I still cry.
I'm with you on that. As I'm sure many Americans are......I'm a bit up there in age....But I always remember the ones still missing, their lives and their sacrifices are not in vain. Their families will always need our support.. Bring them home.
I'm right beside you brother may all of the fallen be carried home on the wings of angels and to the families a deep sincerity "he swore a solemn oath to keep faith amen
Canadian Airborne trooper here. I was too young to serve during this war. But I wanted to. Later, I got to serve with my US brothers and sisters in defence of freedom. 36 years and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Respect to all those veterans who served. And looked after their buddies. And completed the mission. I know the Marines guard the streets of heaven, but I hope there is space for a few paratroopers to provide support. Airborne. All the way.
Viet Nam war happened to interrupt China to attack to US'alliances in South East Asia. When US withdrawed Viet Nam in 1973, China attacked down South China Sea immediately in Jan,1974. Today,China very near US' friends in South China Sea & US's economy concern to this area, my friend. @@terrymcmaster2787
I'm a British Army Vet,served in her majesties infantry unit ( Duke of Wellington's Regiment )for 26 years , I've lost mates in Iraq ,Afghanistan and Northern Ireland ....This short film is very moving and I'll be honest I've shed some tears . Our big brother across the pond have had some conflict in their long history and I'm glad we share a common value when it comes to Vets not coming home . Gone but not forgotten. Rest Eazy. Love from the Yorkshire Moars
Thank you my Brother by another Mother. Dad served till he fell, 25 Oct. 1967. USAF F-105 pilot. I served and returned home, 1986 US Army. "All gave some. Some gave all."
@@bc359thank you. At 70, former military, a very good home friend of mine made it home from Vietnam then took his life. My father was in the U.S. Army Air Corps, WWII, as an 18 yo navigator/bombardier on a B-24 Liberator “Battle Dragon” stationed at Bungay, England. He never talked about it.
Baha Mousa was an Iraqi man who died while in British Army custody in Basra, Iraq in September 2003. The inquiry into his death found that Mousa's death was caused by "factors including lack of food and water, heat, exhaustion, fear, previous injuries and the hooding and stress positions used by British troops - and a final struggle with his guards". The inquiry heard that Mousa was hooded for almost 24 hours during his 36 hours of custody by the 1st Battalion of the Queen's Lancashire Regiment and that he suffered at least 93 injuries prior to his death. The report later details that Mousa was subject to several practices banned under both domestic law and the Geneva Conventions. Seven British soldiers were charged in connection with the case. Six were found not guilt, Cpl Donald Payne, pleaded guilty to inhumane treatment of a prisoner, was jailed for a year and dismissed from the Army.[1][2][3][4][5]
To the 369 of you that gave this a thumbs down, what the hell is your problem? A wife waits 40 years for her Marine husband to return and when she is notified that they found where he died and can bring him home soon, you give it a thumbs down. It's obvious to me that you have no idea of the pain and suffering at the not knowing about the fate of your loved one. Despicable...that's just how I see you. Maybe one day it will be you that has to wait and wonder if your loved one will ever come home again!!!
The fuckin problem is that you motherfuckers avoid the fact of how many innocent men,women and children American marines slaughtered for no fuckin reason
They’re just trolls. Just don’t pay them any mind. The ones that truly know, know. Not all Americans are Patriots my friend. Don’t waste your energy on the enemy.
My father was in the 101st Airborne Devision in Vietnam. 69' to 70. He was 17 years old. Lost many friends there. POW-MIA. ✊️ peace be to the fallen, and to those who carry on, with the memories of their brethren.
@@davidwilliamson4937 I believe my brother was in the 101st...he died not long ago from agent orange cancer...when he came home from Vietnam he was so different than when he left...bless all those who go through hell for our Country
@@davidwilliamson4937 His Name was James Meader He passed away from agent Orange cancer If you knew him I want to say I am sorry for how you were treated and God Bless you
I was light infantry in Iraq and Afghanistan, spent 37mo of my life on the front lines of combat... and I can guarantee I didn’t a fraction of what my Vietnam brothers saw. God bless you brave men. Excellent video
It was an absolute honor and a pleasure to have been part of this short film honoring our POW'S. We must never forget those who've served and are still serving this great nation.
Adrian G thank you for making this. Thank you for loving your country. I will stand beside you anytime to fight for her and for you my fellow countrymen
I was tasked out as a Casualty Officer with the Army in 2004-2005. I thought these cases, known as "historical remains" cases would be easier than notifications of Active Duty Casualties. They turned out to be just as hard.....mainly in seeing the old pain and grief being brought to the surface again. Every family was thankful for the closure that we were able to help bring them, but it showed me that time dows not heal all wounds....it just allows people to deal with it. Being able to help with closure and to hear the stories of the fallen Soldeir and their families was an honor for me. I had the honor of returning remains from WWII in both theatres of war, along with items and remains from the conflicts in Korea and Vietnam. This still occured even while I was handling stuff from the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I was shocked that we still had recovery teams functioning on prior wars while a new one was going on. This came back around to me when I buried my own son at age 20 this past June (it was illness, and not combat or anything military related). Time does not ease the loss. This video is very well done, and although it is not exactly how the process is done, it shows the emotions, dedication and functions of how it plays out for all of those involved.
MrCRAIGSHILL I am/was (befroe retirement) an artilleryman. The NCOES schools NEVER mentioned that any SFC or above could be tasked with doing that. I was in shock when I was "voluntold" it was my turn. They didnt get easier.....but unfortunately I became very skilled at handling the job. In a way I felt that I would rather do it for the families and the fallen Soldier, rather than having a random guy do it and possibly making it harder on the families. The families deserved perfection and I felt it was the least I could do. Truthfully though it really did impact me in the long run. I had been on the giving and receiving end of artillery and small arms fire....but really was not bothered by that......but after my time of doing the CNO/CAO job was done, some really intense bottled up thoughts and dreams started to come out.
The year before we left we were told we may get tasked to do that job at Hood, my SSG told me he wanted me to do it and to get ready, i told him i rather be sent to levingworth or even reclassed as a low level pog then to do that job! everyone got mad, thought i was disrespecting the fallen... in reality i couldn't handle having to tell the parents, wives, and possibly children of the fallen of their loss! and i was right the thing that hurt the worst over there was losing friends, and the thing that gets to me the most now is watching *(real/fake) door knockers do that shit. i see their faces and everything with their deaths when i see that shit
MrCRAIGSHILL I uderstand that....very well. In a way I lucked out....all of my guys came back from Iraq in one piece, but I guess that each casualty I dealt with back here then felt like a Soldier that was now assigned to me. I did hold it maybe a bit too close. There were a few people that I dealt with that could not do that job.....and I never felt any anger or disrespect towards them. Not everyone could do it.....just like there were things that other Soldiers might do that I would not be able to do. (one of my biggest worries was to be forced to fire on a car/car bomb with a terrorist and kids inside......I was never sure I wold be able to pull the trigger on a kid)
you would be surprised how easy it is to kill a kid who is a threat to you and your men, at the time . but when you get home that is one demon that eats at you every day
I was a soldier for 5 years. No matter where u served or who with, soldiers understand this film and grieve for our lost comrades & lost lives. I always question what they would have been.
GIs were left behind... Many reports that as recent as 2011 that Vietnamese farmers were contacting US about seeing very old tall skinny white men in chain gangs doing different types of work and they knew enough of the language to tell these farmers who to contact in the US.. these farmers later said that nobody cared or believed them at all. It's sad but true that the top officials of the military made the decision to leave GIs behind and lie about it rather than pay the massive ransom money the NV demanded
@@Bure478 yes there is a 400 page book titled "An Enormous Crime" that is full of stories and reports of farmers seeing white men in large groups doing work. there are other books and reports aswell. its so sad but real
From 1992 to 1995 I worked for the CILHI organization on Hickham AFB in HI. Our teams deployed across the globe investigating, searching for and recovering lost servicemen from WWII, Korea and Vietnam. It was the PROUDEST thing I did in my military service and that includes two combat tours. Never FORGET
I had the honor to welcome each and every POW home while seconded to the USAF Hospital at Clark AB in 73. I worked in the debriefing center and heard their stories first hand. Got to shake their hands and see the pride and honor in their eyes.
I’m an oif oef infantry veteran. If there are any Vietnam vets watching this know people like you are why I joined, my time was nothing compared to yours and you will always have my love and respect.
A Lot of good men died and many more were abandoned when they came home for taking part in what some saw as an unjust war. They did what they were trained and required to do AND DESERVE ALL THE RESPECT THAT WE CAN GIVE THEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE!!
This made me cry. I remember sitting in the livingroom with my Father, watching our Vets return home and how they were treated. I also recall the reoprts done on some of our Vets Missing in Action and I could never forget their loved ones pain flooded my Spirit. Thinking how they must feel. Just heartbreaking. 😔
Why don't we truly Honor the fallen by putting aside our differences for awhile as much as possible. Stop listening to Politicians and the Media and listen to your heart. God Bless. U.S. Army, class of "68".
INDEED YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH! Former 82nd Airborne light tactical infantry here and I co-sign what you have stated. It is past time for good men to stop dying for the wars of the wicked and the corrupt found in our so called leadership.
@@coryburns1905 Yes, that it so disturbing. Good call. It's amazing to me that #1 a POW would cock block that inquiry form Lt. Gen. Eugene Tighe and #2 that the US public / government did nothing. Poor families. At least the French paid ransoms for their prisoners! Unbelievable.
I have seen a video of an informal hearing or meeting with him and an MIA group which was very respectfully requesting declassification of records which would provide information helpful to locating MIAs and/or their remains. McCain treated them and their leader, a very decent lady, like trash. he was insulting, rude and single-handedly block the release sought. It was at that point that I lost all respect for him, and the more I found out later on, the worse it got. I am definitely not a fan of McCain, to say the least.
My Grandpa served in Vietnam. He got the purple heart medal, I know very little about the military, but to see his medal, flag and uniform made me almost cry. Man is he funny
You done made me tear up.. my Uncle Tom was a Marine in Vietnam and experienced frontline combat, ending up being wounded and sent home. So many didn't get to go home, their life ended in a rice patty far far away from home and those they loved. God bless all who served, and to those who never returned.
This was truly touching. My parents were married after my father was injured a 3rd time during his 3rd tour. I was born a year and a half later. He was sent home and assigned to an advisory unit and then he got orders and we all left the USA for Germany when I was about 18 months old. God bless and protect the fallen and their families. You are not forgotten.
My grandpa served in the Vietnam war and he still alive but it’s hard to not think about our soldiers who fought and died and the ones who are living. And so I say thank you all to all of the man and women who fought for our country.
My deepest respects to all of those who served, those that are serving now and to those who never made it home. Thank you for this wonderful service that you are providing. Peace be with the families of the fallen and God bless.
To the hateful comments - "You still don't get it, do you?" To the Tears - "You have company." To those sacrificed (includes 18 high school classmates; 1 awarded the MOH) "We will honor you by not making the same mistakes again." To the producers - "Thank you."
Pat McRotch Parkland ???? You are referring to my friends, classmates in High School and College, who served in Vietnam 1965-1973 and never came home. Their names can be found on “The Wall.” Take your self righteous rants someplace else. Do you know what MOH is? They don’t give those away for anything other than “above and beyond, in the service of our country.”
Chris Collier also kid is right we keep bringing history all over again like that say says if men cannot learn from their past and mistakes and history is doom enough to repeat it
My Grandpa Died In 1968.. I Miss Him So Much.. I've never even seen his face. He died on a hug of his bud... Sgt. Billy When I Was a Kid Uncle Billy Always Take Care Of Me.. God Bless Him And My Grandpap.
I love these videos. They don't show how the Vietnam Veterans were treated when they came home. when I turned 17 in 79 I joined thanks to all who served
This was an amazing short story. I remember watching tv at my grandparents house at night,the name list of people who were to be drafted and wondering if my 2 uncles would be drafted. They both wound up volunteering. God bless all who have served in our military. If this didn’t make you tear up at least a little, you have no soul.
I was 8 yrs old when my cousins went to Vietnam ! All I knew was that they were fighting guys named Charlie ! Lost them both in the last few years !! God Bless our Veterans !!
I absolutely love the Vietnam vets. When I see one I make it a point to thank them and apologize for the way America treated them. I make sure other people here it. It’s way past time to thank these soldiers. God bless America, god bless the veterans
2:25 oh man I’m a grown man and I shed a tear or two that hit deep I’m thankful for the ones who fought and can’t begin to imagine the families that don’t have their loved ones home I’m currently in the marines rn and pray to god if I see combat that I live through it and if I don’t that my remains make it back home so my family can have closure never forget the pow’s and mia’s you are not forgotten
I was blessed to return to Vietnam with a veteran's group, one of the team members retrieved some dog tags. We were honored to return them to his family in a solemn ceremony at the veteran's home in Barstow California. Blessed be the memory of the fallen soldier and may God comfort his family.
What a wonderful and yet tearful experience watching this over and over. As a wounded OEF/OIF combat veteran I always have had problems in keeping emotions to myself. This magical work hits the mark like nothing else. Thank you so very very much. Also, can anyone cite the specific name of the background music for this video?? I would like to record it for simply listening on some of these lonely nights. Thank you!!
I had a friend that did this all around the Pacific as a Marine Captain. Connecting families with their loved ones that were MIA. Said it’s the most rewarding work he’s ever done.
Thank you., I'm crying. In memory of Staff Sgt; James Michael Ray.,POW-MIA.,3/18/68'., and the 88,000 still listed as MIA. Semper Fi God damn it! !., you are Not forgotten., USMC., class of 67'-68'.
I enlisted in Sept.71. I was 17. Dad died the year before. I lost my world. Took my GED and Mom signed for me as I wasn't 18 yet. Graduated from boot just before Xmas turning 18. On the Gun line Jan 72. Did three tours to NVN. The war didn't really end when it did. I survived without PTSD. It was decades later that movies and documentaries about the war much like this one that tears at my gut.
I told myself to do 50 well angled push-ups for the Marines and other branches that lost their lives and I finished with my arms tired and blood bumping right now. As a Marine it touched me so much when the two Marines were talking to the widow and show the devil’s tag and his ring he wore. The part that got me the most is “I with you my love.” And he says “forever.” I subscribed. If I ever die in combat in the near future I can see and hear my wife saying that about me and it making me tear up right now
I did the same, when I found a tag from a 82nd Airborne soldier, that I found whilst metal detecting in Great Britain ,I sent it back home, to the state side, to the family in Indiana.. RIP Kenneth K Kahl.
Vietnam war. It wasn’t about American freedom. America was never in danger. Too many young Americans died in that conflict because politicians lied about what the war was about. Domino effect? supporting our so-called allies? We are still missing over 3000 Service men from that conflict, and for what?
@@hughtuller6344 Amen finally someone gets it. I mean in what way did the Vietnamese people posed a threat to the United States? What does it have to do with the American people what does it have to do with our daily lives? Nothing. They were not fighting for anyone's freedom. It was just a pointless imperialistic war.
seeing a mans wedding ring on his dog tags makes me grasp my wedding ring that much tighter. hoorah, to those who serve, have served, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice, hoorah!!!! thank you!
From a grateful Nation and a grateful American. . . "You Are Not Forgotten" Your honor lives on in those you fought and died for. In every war from the beginning of time, Veterans, especially American Veterans, have been sacrificing their youth, their innocence, and their lives so we, a free nation and world can live free of tyranny and ungodly horrors. Veterans of all wars, I honor you, because you answered the call, because you gave ALL, because you gave that ALL to me, a humble America. You are what make America, this world GREAT. GOD Bless you!
My Dad served in Nam with the 1st Battalion 7th Marines from 67-68. I was born while he was over there. Joined the corps myself 18 years later. They were so young and fought like lions. I’m very proud to be a son of a man in that brotherhood. I’m also in awe of my momma and the other wives and parents who endured every day of not knowing what their loved was doing and with the thought this could “be the day” the get the news they feared most. Semper Fidelis
America is the greatest nation on earth where freedom, opportunity, prosperity and our civil society can flourish. We owe a gratitude of thanks to the brave men, women and their families who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Teach you children well.
Only two things guaranteed to make me cry, veterans stories and dogs passing on. The greatest man i ever had the privilege of getting to know did three tours in Vietnam. Words could never convey how much love i have for our veterans. You will never be forgotten
Philipp Layer it’s a part of life whether you agree with it or not. Wars have been going on for centuries and nothing will ever stop them from occurring.
Wow.........a Marine....his wife ..and eternal love...Praise God....Some of us understand the ''forever''!.............That was special and a powerful video..and statement...well done!
Простой солдат, отдающий Долг Родине,не виноват в ошибках своего руководства - он просто исполняет приказ. С огромным уважением и почетом из России. Спасибо, что чтите и помните павших воинов! Горе не имеет границ, а честь и доблесть должны быть чтимы в веках!
Correct me if I’m wrong but from what I remember about a certain number is that around 52,000 of our generation died during that era. My grandfather served in WW1, my father drove a tank in the Pacific Theater for almost four years. Thousands of war dead in those wars, too. Grateful to those who served, no matter the conflict. I am in my 70’s and glad to live in this country. I like living here. I like speaking English. I like being able to live where my wife and I please. I like being able to have food on the table, a car in the driveway, a roof over our heads. All because of you, great military man. Thank you.
The stories and memories that war brings are hard to forget . My coworker drove a Rome plow and had unbelievable life and death stories. The ones that serve can’t never forget the memories that hunt them and cause ptsd. PSTD and TBI are the lasting effects of all wars.
Such a powerful and humbling insight into what it's like to not know where your one true love has gone. Bring them home, bring them all home where they belong and can finally rest, in peace.............this was my father's war and I am here today only because of the bravery of 9 other men whom I'll never meet in this life, who saw it better to die to save my dad then let him die alone and save themselves..........I could never thank them enough even if I could meet them..........I miss you dad, glad you are finally at peace
To me it doesn't matter how many years this video came out! It hurts knowing that a wife waited for her husband to return from war! After all these years! Her husband's remains were found! It was a great honor that the young kid and man gave it to the embassy for a proper return to his wife! Now imagine yourself going through what she went through in her life without her husband! This hurts a lot! Tears still roll out of my eyes! Please keep all the families in prayer and keep our United States Military Men and Women, Veterans, POW/MIA in prayer! God bless America! God bless the United States Military!
To the eleven of you who gave this a thumbs down....you have that right. It is because of the brave men and women of our Armed Forces team who provide assurances that you can give thumbs down. Regardless of your thoughts....we fight for you.
@james cordan do you understand the historical context of Vietnam? We were there to stop the spread of communism. Communism inherently creates vast levels of human suffering. Even today. Look at Hong Kong and North Korea.
this is what should be like everyday with people helping other people not saying our country is bad just for the person we elected not because one persons skin color not because one belief we should all support one eachother and we should all stand by each others side and never ever let eachother down because the moment we do is the moment that we fail as friends its the moment we fail as people and its the moment we fail to support the ones we love GOD BLESS AMERICA
This is why we reenlist, why we don’t want to leave, the feeling of being left behind is unbearable for us until our brothers tell us it’s ok, I’ll see you when I get out as well. Some never do. Fights never over
My grandfather served in the Sarawak Border Scouts during the Malaysia -Indonesia Confrontation...in the 60s...my grandmother still keeps his old beret ,portrait, and uniform...althought i never met him .......after watching this video...i felt so touched
Old men start wars that sacrifices both the youth and future of their country. The lesson is never learned and often repeated. This video is a great honor to those young men and their sacrifice.
Got my 1st draft notice after Tet in 1968...I was still a senior in high school. By that fall I was in boot camp & arrived in Vietnam July 7, 1969 for my first tour. I'm now 75 & amazed that I'm still vertical and breathing.

I too served with the 101st…1968 \70……C. 2/327th Infantry lost many friends. One MIA. HIS REMAINS WERE RETURNED IN 1999…..his family is now at peace

I came home. Don't really know why. Too many friends left behind, 54 years ago and I still tear up when the memories sneak back in.
I enlisted in 1971 , and came back , I feel like I just went through a time machine!
Welcome home Dennis! Dad did two tours and would always tell me the same thing, he didn't know why he cheated death so many times...

I was light infantry in Iraq and Afghanistan, spent 37mo of my life on the front lines of combat... and I can guarantee I didn’t a fraction of what my Vietnam brothers saw. God bless you brave men. Excellent video

Thank you for your service. I was right foreigners that responded to you .
It was an absolute honor and a pleasure to have been part of this short film honoring our POW'S. We must never forget those who've served and are still serving this great nation.
You made me cry. This should be on tv. At Superbowl halftime
Thank you Adrian
Adrian G thank you for making this. Thank you for loving your country. I will stand beside you anytime to fight for her and for you my fellow countrymen
JESUS BLESS you brother
Thank you Sir!
I was tasked out as a Casualty Officer with the Army in 2004-2005. I thought these cases, known as "historical remains" cases would be easier than notifications of Active Duty Casualties. They turned out to be just as hard.....mainly in seeing the old pain and grief being brought to the surface again. Every family was thankful for the closure that we were able to help bring them, but it showed me that time dows not heal all wounds....it just allows people to deal with it. Being able to help with closure and to hear the stories of the fallen Soldeir and their families was an honor for me.
I had the honor of returning remains from WWII in both theatres of war, along with items and remains from the conflicts in Korea and Vietnam. This still occured even while I was handling stuff from the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I was shocked that we still had recovery teams functioning on prior wars while a new one was going on.
This came back around to me when I buried my own son at age 20 this past June (it was illness, and not combat or anything military related). Time does not ease the loss.
This video is very well done, and although it is not exactly how the process is done, it shows the emotions, dedication and functions of how it plays out for all of those involved.
That was one job i would never do, rather do anything in the world then that shit! would have ate a bullet after the first one. Sorry for your loss
MrCRAIGSHILL I am/was (befroe retirement) an artilleryman. The NCOES schools NEVER mentioned that any SFC or above could be tasked with doing that. I was in shock when I was "voluntold" it was my turn. They didnt get easier.....but unfortunately I became very skilled at handling the job. In a way I felt that I would rather do it for the families and the fallen Soldier, rather than having a random guy do it and possibly making it harder on the families. The families deserved perfection and I felt it was the least I could do.
Truthfully though it really did impact me in the long run. I had been on the giving and receiving end of artillery and small arms fire....but really was not bothered by that......but after my time of doing the CNO/CAO job was done, some really intense bottled up thoughts and dreams started to come out.
The year before we left we were told we may get tasked to do that job at Hood, my SSG told me he wanted me to do it and to get ready, i told him i rather be sent to levingworth
or even reclassed as a low level pog then to do that job! everyone got mad, thought i was disrespecting the fallen... in reality i couldn't handle having to tell the parents, wives, and possibly children of the fallen of their loss! and i was right the thing that hurt the worst over there was losing friends, and the thing that gets to me the most now is watching *(real/fake) door knockers do that shit.
i see their faces and everything with their deaths when i see that shit
MrCRAIGSHILL I uderstand that....very well. In a way I lucked out....all of my guys came back from Iraq in one piece, but I guess that each casualty I dealt with back here then felt like a Soldier that was now assigned to me. I did hold it maybe a bit too close.
There were a few people that I dealt with that could not do that job.....and I never felt any anger or disrespect towards them. Not everyone could do it.....just like there were things that other Soldiers might do that I would not be able to do. (one of my biggest worries was to be forced to fire on a car/car bomb with a terrorist and kids inside......I was never sure I wold be able to pull the trigger on a kid)
you would be surprised how easy it is to kill a kid who is a threat to you and your men, at the time . but when you get home that is one demon that eats at you every day
I was a soldier for 5 years. No matter where u served or who with, soldiers understand this film and grieve for our lost comrades & lost lives.
I always question what they would have been.
Every one comes home eventually, "Gone, but NEVER forgotten". (And not ashamed to admit my tears at this film).
I did, as well, teared up on this film.
nobody gets left behind eh? wish we had the same type of active searching here, maybe we do and i don't know but i doubt it....
GIs were left behind... Many reports that as recent as 2011 that Vietnamese farmers were contacting US about seeing very old tall skinny white men in chain gangs doing different types of work and they knew enough of the language to tell these farmers who to contact in the US.. these farmers later said that nobody cared or believed them at all. It's sad but true that the top officials of the military made the decision to leave GIs behind and lie about it rather than pay the massive ransom money the NV demanded
@@shawnhughes4192 do you have the story on this or some kind of link?
@@Bure478 yes there is a 400 page book titled "An Enormous Crime" that is full of stories and reports of farmers seeing white men in large groups doing work. there are other books and reports aswell. its so sad but real
From 1992 to 1995 I worked for the CILHI organization on Hickham AFB in HI. Our teams deployed across the globe investigating, searching for and recovering lost servicemen from WWII, Korea and Vietnam. It was the PROUDEST thing I did in my military service and that includes two combat tours.
Never FORGET
Thank You for your service. Welcome Home!
I had the honor to welcome each and every POW home while seconded to the USAF Hospital at Clark AB in 73. I worked in the debriefing center and heard their stories first hand. Got to shake their hands and see the pride and honor in their eyes.
Note that she finally takes off her bracelet now that he is found. This video should have 1000X the views
Definitely noticed the bracelet!
That's where my tears rolled out.
Thank you for clarifying this. I didn't understand the meaning of that shot. Makes me appreciate this video even more.
She also added her ring to his. "Together Forever"
@@KryterionOnline Here are two stories you might enjoy

I’m an oif oef infantry veteran. If there are any Vietnam vets watching this know people like you are why I joined, my time was nothing compared to yours and you will always have my love and respect.
A Lot of good men died and many more were abandoned when they came home for taking part in what some saw as an unjust war. They did what they were trained and required to do AND DESERVE ALL THE RESPECT THAT WE CAN GIVE THEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE!!
This made me cry. I remember sitting in the livingroom with my Father, watching our Vets return home and how they were treated. I also recall the reoprts done on some of our Vets Missing in Action and I could never forget their loved ones pain flooded my Spirit. Thinking how they must feel. Just heartbreaking. 😔
Why don't we truly Honor the fallen by putting aside our differences for awhile as much as possible. Stop listening to Politicians and the Media and listen to your heart. God Bless.
U.S. Army, class of "68".
Amen Brother 😇
From your lips to God's ears.
INDEED YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH! Former 82nd Airborne light tactical infantry here and I co-sign what you have stated. It is past time for good men to stop dying for the wars of the wicked and the corrupt found in our so called leadership.
That hit the heart brotha.....God Bless
Terry JP And 1971.
Semper Fi. This country should never give up bringing our warriors home. They didn't give up.
John McCain stopped efforts to go after them
@@coryburns1905 Yes, that it so disturbing. Good call. It's amazing to me that #1 a POW would cock block that inquiry form Lt. Gen. Eugene Tighe and #2 that the US public / government did nothing. Poor families. At least the French paid ransoms for their prisoners! Unbelievable.
McCain very apparently did not want certain things to come out about him if certain records were declassified.
I have seen a video of an informal hearing or meeting with him and an MIA group which was very respectfully requesting declassification of records which would provide information helpful to locating MIAs and/or their remains. McCain treated them and their leader, a very decent lady, like trash. he was insulting, rude and single-handedly block the release sought. It was at that point that I lost all respect for him, and the more I found out later on, the worse it got. I am definitely not a fan of McCain, to say the least.
Semper Fi, no marine left behind
Never forget those that were lost ... never to return RIP RESPECT
My Grandpa served in Vietnam. He got the purple heart medal, I know very little about the military, but to see his medal, flag and uniform made me almost cry. Man is he funny
You done made me tear up.. my Uncle Tom was a Marine in Vietnam and experienced frontline combat, ending up being wounded and sent home. So many didn't get to go home, their life ended in a rice patty far far away from home and those they loved. God bless all who served, and to those who never returned.
This was truly touching. My parents were married after my father was injured a 3rd time during his 3rd tour. I was born a year and a half later. He was sent home and assigned to an advisory unit and then he got orders and we all left the USA for Germany when I was about 18 months old. God bless and protect the fallen and their families. You are not forgotten.
My grandpa served in the Vietnam war and he still alive but it’s hard to not think about our soldiers who fought and died and the ones who are living. And so I say thank you all to all of the man and women who fought for our country.
My deepest respects to all of those who served, those that are serving now and to those who never made it home. Thank you for this wonderful service that you are providing. Peace be with the families of the fallen and God bless.
I just saw this again 3 years later, and again, I'm in tears.
My great uncle is MIA in Korea. God bless all those who have served. You will NEVER be forgotten
Such a great loss.
To the hateful comments - "You still don't get it, do you?" To the Tears - "You have company." To those sacrificed (includes 18 high school classmates; 1 awarded the MOH) "We will honor you by not making the same mistakes again." To the producers - "Thank you."
Pat McRotch Parkland ???? You are referring to my friends, classmates in High School and College, who served in Vietnam 1965-1973 and never came home. Their names can be found on “The Wall.” Take your self righteous rants someplace else. Do you know what MOH is? They don’t give those away for anything other than “above and beyond, in the service of our country.”

thanks to all who served

I am absolutely speechless…. God bless our military and and all our veteran’s alive and in heaven 🫡🇺🇸
i don't know how to express myself. that 3 minutes and 51 seconds says everything i could think of.
You could how disgusted you feel about John McCain stopping all efforts to get our men back
First time I have seen this one, my dad's a nam vet, I'm an Iraq and Afghan vet.
D Garland -hi d garland thank you for your service. Would it be OK for me to ask you how you are doing? How are you!
Thank you for your service and for your dad’s.
Thank you for your service!
This was an amazing short story. I remember watching tv at my grandparents house at night,the name list of people who were to be drafted and wondering if my 2 uncles would be drafted. They both wound up volunteering. God bless all who have served in our military. If this didn’t make you tear up at least a little, you have no soul.
I was 8 yrs old when my cousins went to Vietnam ! All I knew was that they were fighting guys named Charlie ! Lost them both in the last few years !! God Bless our Veterans !!
2nd Battalion 9th Marines. Two tours '67-'69. Khe Sahn '68. I live Vietnam everyday. In war there's no unwounded soldiers!
Well said. Semper Fi from an old Marine who served 1973-1977.
I was in the Army (draftee) 1967 thru 1969...couldn't bring myself to watch this.
Welcome home.
Thank you for your service Carlos. RIP Uncle Richard Sept 67 1st Cavalry 4th Inf Div
Glad to have you back Carlos.

Welcome home brother
Tears. And love for those who arent home yet.
Our Heroes missing but not forgotten!!!!! Maybe some day........

THANK YOU FOR THIS
as an army veteran
i can’t tell you
how long after this video ended
i had tears in my eyes
And I'm crying..
To many gave all in a war they did not want to be in. Praying that they all RIP
I absolutely love the Vietnam vets. When I see one I make it a point to thank them and apologize for the way America treated them. I make sure other people here it. It’s way past time to thank these soldiers. God bless America, god bless the veterans
2:25 oh man I’m a grown man and I shed a tear or two that hit deep I’m thankful for the ones who fought and can’t begin to imagine the families that don’t have their loved ones home I’m currently in the marines rn and pray to god if I see combat that I live through it and if I don’t that my remains make it back home so my family can have closure never forget the pow’s and mia’s you are not forgotten
Amen brother!
I was blessed to return to Vietnam with a veteran's group, one of the team members retrieved some dog tags. We were honored to return them to his family in a solemn ceremony at the veteran's home in Barstow California. Blessed be the memory of the fallen soldier and may God comfort his family.
What a wonderful and yet tearful experience watching this over and over. As a wounded OEF/OIF combat veteran I always have had problems in keeping emotions to myself. This magical work hits the mark like nothing else. Thank you so very very much.
Also, can anyone cite the specific name of the background music for this video?? I would like to record it for simply listening on some of these lonely nights. Thank you!!
I had a friend that did this all around the Pacific as a Marine Captain. Connecting families with their loved ones that were MIA. Said it’s the most rewarding work he’s ever done.
Bottle of red, watched this tears in eyes as I appreciate the sacrifice. From a sympathetic Englishman
Thank you., I'm crying. In memory of Staff Sgt; James Michael Ray.,POW-MIA.,3/18/68'., and the 88,000 still listed as MIA. Semper Fi God damn it! !., you are Not forgotten., USMC., class of 67'-68'.
May God bless those who gave all, those who served, and those who continue to serve.
and those who will be serving.
I enlisted in Sept.71. I was 17. Dad died the year before. I lost my world. Took my GED and Mom signed for me as I wasn't 18 yet. Graduated from boot just before Xmas turning 18. On the Gun line Jan 72. Did three tours to NVN. The war didn't really end when it did. I survived without PTSD. It was decades later that movies and documentaries about the war much like this one that tears at my gut.
I told myself to do 50 well angled push-ups for the Marines and other branches that lost their lives and I finished with my arms tired and blood bumping right now. As a Marine it touched me so much when the two Marines were talking to the widow and show the devil’s tag and his ring he wore. The part that got me the most is “I with you my love.” And he says “forever.” I subscribed. If I ever die in combat in the near future I can see and hear my wife saying that about me and it making me tear up right now

I did the same, when I found a tag from a 82nd Airborne soldier, that I found whilst metal detecting in Great Britain ,I sent it back home, to the state side, to the family in Indiana.. RIP Kenneth K Kahl.
May we never forget that freedom isn't free .
Vietnam war. It wasn’t about American freedom. America was never in danger. Too many young Americans died in that conflict because politicians lied about what the war was about. Domino effect? supporting our so-called allies? We are still missing over 3000 Service men from that conflict, and for what?
@@hughtuller6344 Amen finally someone gets it. I mean in what way did the Vietnamese people posed a threat to the United States? What does it have to do with the American people what does it have to do with our daily lives? Nothing. They were not fighting for anyone's freedom. It was just a pointless imperialistic war.
Wow! Gone but never forgotten--thank you to all who served and all who gave their all!
Sitting here with tears in my eyes. To all who never came home and to those that did. Thank you for your service....
seeing a mans wedding ring on his dog tags makes me grasp my wedding ring that much tighter.
hoorah, to those who serve, have served, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice, hoorah!!!! thank you!
I carried mine on my tags as well in Bosnia. It didn't fit well under my gloves and I was absolutely paranoid about losing it.
Things that only a soldier can understand this is too emotional
When I was in the USAF we called those that had served in Vietnam the “old-timers.” I guess I’m one of the old-timers now…I miss those guys...
From a grateful Nation and a grateful American. . . "You Are Not Forgotten" Your honor lives on in those you fought and died for. In every war from the beginning of time, Veterans, especially American Veterans, have been sacrificing their youth, their innocence, and their lives so we, a free nation and world can live free of tyranny and ungodly horrors. Veterans of all wars, I honor you, because you answered the call, because you gave ALL, because you gave that ALL to me, a humble America. You are what make America, this world GREAT. GOD Bless you!
This made me cry it reminds me of my dad...
My Dad served in Nam with the 1st Battalion 7th Marines from 67-68. I was born while he was over there. Joined the corps myself 18 years later. They were so young and fought like lions. I’m very proud to be a son of a man in that brotherhood. I’m also in awe of my momma and the other wives and parents who endured every day of not knowing what their loved was doing and with the thought this could “be the day” the get the news they feared most. Semper Fidelis
America is the greatest nation on earth where freedom, opportunity, prosperity and our civil society can flourish.
We owe a gratitude of thanks to the brave men, women and their families who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Teach you children well.
Only two things guaranteed to make me cry, veterans stories and dogs passing on. The greatest man i ever had the privilege of getting to know did three tours in Vietnam. Words could never convey how much love i have for our veterans. You will never be forgotten
Such a heart breaking but, an amazingly beautiful piece of work.
Wy do we make war?
Philipp Layer it’s a part of life whether you agree with it or not. Wars have been going on for centuries and nothing will ever stop them from occurring.
Wow.........a Marine....his wife ..and eternal love...Praise God....Some of us understand the ''forever''!.............That was special and a powerful video..and statement...well done!
Простой солдат, отдающий Долг Родине,не виноват в ошибках своего руководства - он просто исполняет приказ. С огромным уважением и почетом из России. Спасибо, что чтите и помните павших воинов! Горе не имеет границ, а честь и доблесть должны быть чтимы в веках!
Correct me if I’m wrong but from what I remember about a certain number is that around 52,000 of our generation died during that era.
My grandfather served in WW1, my father drove a tank in the Pacific Theater for almost four years. Thousands of war dead in those wars, too.
Grateful to those who served, no matter the conflict.
I am in my 70’s and glad to live in this country. I like living here. I like speaking English. I like being able to live where my wife and I please. I like being able to have food on the table, a car in the driveway, a roof over our heads.
All because of you, great military man. Thank you.
God Bless all of our Veterans, Those here and those not! I honor all of you.
The stories and memories that war brings are hard to forget . My coworker drove a Rome plow and had unbelievable life and death stories. The ones that serve can’t never forget the memories that hunt them and cause ptsd. PSTD and TBI are the lasting effects of all wars.
Very touching. Thank you. And thank you to all our servicemen.
Such a powerful and humbling insight into what it's like to not know where your one true love has gone. Bring them home, bring them all home where they belong and can finally rest, in peace.............this was my father's war and I am here today only because of the bravery of 9 other men whom I'll never meet in this life, who saw it better to die to save my dad then let him die alone and save themselves..........I could never thank them enough even if I could meet them..........I miss you dad, glad you are finally at peace
To me it doesn't matter how many years this video came out! It hurts knowing that a wife waited for her husband to return from war! After all these years! Her husband's remains were found! It was a great honor that the young kid and man gave it to the embassy for a proper return to his wife! Now imagine yourself going through what she went through in her life without her husband! This hurts a lot! Tears still roll out of my eyes! Please keep all the families in prayer and keep our United States Military Men and Women, Veterans, POW/MIA in prayer! God bless America! God bless the United States Military!
UK serviceman here. Never deployed. Still made cry watching this.
To the eleven of you who gave this a thumbs down....you have that right. It is because of the brave men and women of our Armed Forces team who provide assurances that you can give thumbs down. Regardless of your thoughts....we fight for you.
Yep, that's right, but they are still PUKES.
@james cordan do you understand the historical context of Vietnam? We were there to stop the spread of communism. Communism inherently creates vast levels of human suffering. Even today. Look at Hong Kong and North Korea.
I was with the 1st Inf. Div. And just want to say how so very Proud I am of those who went before me. May you never be forgotten. 🙏🙏🙏
That's a loyal woman. One of a kind.
For all that have served...............From my Family to yours..........Thank You for your Service!

And love/gratitude
this is what should be like everyday with people helping other people not saying our country is bad just for the person we elected not because one persons skin color not because one belief we should all support one eachother and we should all stand by each others side and never ever let eachother down because the moment we do is the moment that we fail as friends its the moment we fail as people and its the moment we fail to support the ones we love GOD BLESS AMERICA
THANK YOU TO ALL ARMED FORCES
Damn. Preach.
All my relatives old enough were lucky enough to not be drafted. God bless.

This is why we reenlist, why we don’t want to leave, the feeling of being left behind is unbearable for us until our brothers tell us it’s ok, I’ll see you when I get out as well. Some never do. Fights never over
COL, (Cry Out Laud). Don't know why I have only just seen this, but from an old vet - Not Forgotten! Thanks for the Sacrifice!!!
May God help the families who have lost there loved ones due to war.
It's the saddest thing to lose a child, brother, son, father.
Beautiful...endearing...best of all PURE.
My grandfather served in the Sarawak Border Scouts during the Malaysia -Indonesia Confrontation...in the 60s...my grandmother still keeps his old beret ,portrait, and uniform...althought i never met him .......after watching this video...i felt so touched
I'm man enough to admit this shit just made me cry a little.
wow...............
Me too !
Makes ya human
You are not alone brother. LOL
If you claim to not bleed and not cry, get away from me with that fake ass shit.
Ryan, Me to.
Old men start wars that sacrifices both the youth and future of their country. The lesson is never learned and often repeated. This video is a great honor to those young men and their sacrifice.
I may be late for this video but from one soldier to the next a heart felt salute and every bit of honor deserved
Oh my word, this had me crying. My soon to be son in law is in the Marines stationed in Hawaii. I pray for him every day.
Brought tears to my eyes.
May those marines rest in peace no matter the atrocities they had to do or face
