I remember as an 8 year old, going to the airport to pick up my dad arriving home from the war , people called my mother ugly name's,as we waited,I was so happy to see my Dad ,as we were leaving, people spitting, throwing things at us ,I was scared and started to cry ,my dad grabbed my hand looking in my eyes and told me always remember,love your country,and fear your government,take care of yourself and your family and forget about people like this that do not know any better,this scene was repeated picking up my uncle's as well, just look what's happening to our country now ,the government is tearing us down,so I remember what my dad told me that day,and just keep moving forward,I lost him 2 years ago ,thank all of our veterans for their service,and sacrifice,

My old man was drafted right out of high school and did 2 tours. He and his pals are American heros.  RIP  Old Man, and all your pals , the ones that came to our house for Monday night football as  i was growing up. The one who was our neighbor and went to our Church and i started working with him in the summers off from school from age 10 on . I grew up with them all,  and they taught me everything from firearms,  hunting , and work ethics. Most of them are gone as they were there mostly in the late 1960's. They are still American heros to me , no matter what anyone says about Veterans of foreign wars . They are the real elites and the 1% of America.

I feel sorry for that man who tried to pick up
his mate and found the back of his head had gone. A great tragedy. I am an Australian who lost his brother in Phuoc Thuy Province in April 1971,he was K.I.A shot in a burst of fire and was shot in the throat and the head. He passed away as he was put on the Huey. He was attached to the American Special Forces, he was SAS Australian Task Force. He made many American friends and wrote and told me what a fantastic bunch of USA guys they were. Her enjoyed talking with the Americans and made many friends. They talked about the USA and Australia. It was his American brothers that placed him, aboard the Huey, just as he passed away. Thank you guys whoever you may be. I will never know who you were, but I thank you anyway. He was 5 days of turning 23. A fantastic guy and a wonderful brother.  He missed out on the call up but volunteered  his services for his country, Well done to all the Vietnam Vets, those who passed away since the war, those who died during the war and those who are still suffering after the war I respect you all and salute you!!

I was a product of the war. My mother was Vietnamese and my biological father was a soldier. I was put up for adoption . In April of 1975 I  headed to South Carolina to live with an American family. I took on an American name versus my Vietnamese birth name.  At age 2 and 1/2 I was potty trained, could dress and feed myself. I was also fluent in Vietnamese, French, and English.
Still looking for my Vietnamese birth mother Phan Thi Dieu Hoa. My name was Phan Thi Bich Van.
I do not believe in man’s war.
God’s war is the only war we should be fighting for.

There are still many Vietnam combat veterans alive today. Blessings to all of you...all of veterans who served that time. Appreciation is the heart of all persons whose gratitude continues to love you back home FOREVER ❤

Im a 72 yo Navy Veteran, never in country...I salute every Vietnam Veteran I see...massive respect to all

Never blame soldiers who do the dirty deeds of old men. God bless them and the Vietnamese people

Had the opportunity to meet a Vietnam Vet! Ended up loving him, no matter what and plan to embrace his experience with understanding and will be his friend to the end, as long as he needs my friendship.

My father in law still talks about how good it was hearing the choppers coming to get them after 7 days out.

My heart goes out to all vietnam veterans as I have 2 uncles they survived the vietnam war but didnt survive home, soooo young ,deepest respects for all war veterans welcome home war vets.thank you from my heart for your service .

Thank you veterans for your service, we are truly thankful. We wish Vietnam could have turned out differently.

Charlotte husband my dad fought in World War II. Tarawa, Guadalcanal, and Iwo Jima, and then ended up, Nam as an advisor because of his experience. I love every one of you and salute your service.

The Korean War Vet was the forgotten vet.The Vietnam Vet was the Unwanted Vet.Shame on our government for the disrespect.

The same thing happened to Australian vets. Had to disembark at night and the old WWII soldiers told us that wasn't a war. Couldn't grow our hair quick enough.

While perspectives on the war may differ, the personal experiences of veterans are always worth hearing. This offers an authentic view of the human cost of war.

Strong men - telling awesome accounts of their time in Vietnam...one can only respect these men.

Tnank you my brothers gor your service.
I grew up around this time!
No one backed you guys at home ,breaks my heart!
Blessings and prayers .
Im 56 now i was born in 67.

SEMPER FI
On my way to Vietnam 🇻🇳 in 2 months
Paying homage to my UNCLES AND ALL WHO SERVED

Well done for going to the effort to make this video of our American mates at war, from your No.1 ally Australia, we proudly stand with you,WW1,WW2, Korea, Vietnam,Iraq, Afghanistan

I knew a guy who a full bird col. and served in WW2 , Korea and Vietnam
And used to tell me the American of the Vietnam War were the hardest fighting men he ever knew,  they would listen to radios all the time and when someone called for help from being over ran by the VC ,he never had to ask for volunteers, they would be waiting ready to go ,
not trying to take anything away from any our solders
Thank You to all of our Troops and their families
And Thank You for Sharing  🙏
Respectfully Elbert
