Few people realize that 42 percent of the homeless men are nam vets. How many of them have survivors guilt? Does any one know how it feels to not be able to stay in one place long enough to get a job or make friends. Flash backs keep you moving on!
Few people realize that that there were others in Viet Nam who were not solders, nor civilians whose names will never appear on the wall. Those who will only be remembered by family as going ..but never returning. How I wish there story could be told, but not fo another 100 years.
May they rest in peace, and some day be recognized for what they did and those they saved!
i dedicate this song by gregg wilson to DONALD LEE WILLIAMSON DIED IN VIETNAM 15/11/1969 AGED 21 GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL THOSE WHO WENT SO YOUNG. HE WON,T BE FORGOTTON BY HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS ,EVEN FRIENDS FROM THE UK.
I served during Nam but luckily missed it. I know a lot of people that did go. Thank You to all who served!!! My father -in-law was in la Drang valley in '65 and was one of the ones who didn't make it. A Few stanzas from a poem:
I was that which others did not want to be,,,I went where others feared to go and did what others feared to do,,, I have seen things that others would say were best forgotten,,,,At least someday I will be able to say that I am proud of what I was,,,
i want to thank each and everyone of you that served and god will let the ones know that are not here now that i said thank you and we all want and needed you to do what yayou did and for the ones that are not feeling like this god will bless you too im sure some are just well ill say no more just thank you all
Vietnam Vetrans are heroes. From my country and yours. They deserve our respect and grattitude. Those who have fallen will never be forgotten. Lest we forget.
You hit the nail right on the head there. This is nowhere near the country that was founded in 1776. We have become more of a Police State, much like the former U.S.S.R. I constantly tell people "you are only as free as the government allows for you to believe you are", but they don't listen. They have been feed enough lies over the years that they believe in them. Many countrys have "camps" for this purpose. Here, we don't need camps, it is fed to us everyday, and we swallow.
riends of mine went to vientam. Because they made some stupid things. And they got the decison to go to prison or to vietnam... They went to vietnam...... and never slept a whole night without nightmare.....
Never forget Vietnam. Never forget the war. And tell everyone: WE DON'T WANT A WAR! WE WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE
Vietnam Vets didn't get it as good coming home as other Vets. RIP Papaw Jimmy Spradley . Nam was the war he survived,heart attack was the war he died in.
@HarpoMarc1 your dad sounds like a hero for fighting that war, they and all soldiers deserve a heroes welcome...too bad it took so damn long for out vietnam vets to get it
Proud wife of a retired USAF M/SGT, who did 3 tours in Nam. He volunteered for his last 2. Why? Because he saw the best & worst of humanity. The worst gave him the fire to fight on & the best gave him hope maybe he could make a difference.
He served with honor, though we both agree that the government did not act in honor then and still does not honor their all promises to our veterans.
My prayers to all who go to war, those they love & those who wait for their return.
@gulfgypsy was he a napalm dropper, or a huey pilot, my dad and 5 uncles fought Vietnam, four of my uncles died... they all died in front of my dads eyes, and my dads youngest brother died at age 18 on my dads arms, my dad took up his m60 and din't let go of the trigger till every NVA died, my dad was completed destroyed after his brothers died, my dad cried out for revenge, he does not hate the Vietnamese people, he didn't like those who fought as a NVA.

@danr8472 Not the place....this about the drafted KIDS!! One was my cuz Marine Sgt. Allen Hayes, shot in the face & arm, wanted to go back to be with HIS BUDS, but couldn't. He was drafted at 18. Thankfully, he survived the war, but very sadly we lost him in May of this year. Go to a govt site and complain...not here. This is to honor the heroes. People need to realize the hatred needs to be taken out on the govt NOT the troops!!
@swtmommyof21 i wanna thank you for your dads service i know i cant say it to him. but i can thank you on his behalf. my papa served. and every since i was 2 i have told him i am gonna serve.
Vietnam veterans are soldiers just like all soldiers everywhere in the world, they go where they told to go, its the soldier's duty to obey the order. Why Americans at the time label them as baby killer and hooch burner?
Greetings from Poland - country that being over communist regime over 50 years - you fought for freedom and you didin't got support from your own people - thats awful. Polish people salute you!
One of the best miltary songs i've seen so far. Brutally honest and rightfully so. For every person that goes there is one that gets to stay behind. Thank you Vietnam veterans for what you did then and what you are doing now for other veterans. The repricusions of Vietnam are what is shaping the military and veteran community today. Because of their sacrifices veterans are finlaly getting the help and respect they deserve.
I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! I AM PROUD of our soldiers of EVERY war! Every citizen of this country should raise their head high. Thank you to every soldier, Thank you for keeping my country safe. Thank you for FREEDOM. You are not a disgrace in my eyes! THANK YOU!!!
We really do not understand what soldiers go through,but we do understand,that it is not easy,and good and rainbows.I appreciate what these people do,because they put their lives on the line.MY grandpa from my stepdads side was a marine in WWII,i was too young to understand what he went through,but pops,I solute you,Rest In Peace,and I solute those many others,and those who are out there today.I solute you.
While I was there, all I could think about was going home..."back to the World." Got my DEROS orders and was the happiest man on the planet. Hippies spitting and shouting and throwing shit. I know now they weren't mad at us. We were just the most visible representation of the source of their rage. What really pisses me off is they were right. Gov't told us we were defending freedom and we believed it. Truth is we were generating profits. Bastards! And it's still the same damned thing.
Like the video and song. Sad to say, it is. Married to a Vietnam vet. I worked for the Army then and still do. Wish the Vietnam vets received what the Iraq vet receive. Welcome home and we love you Vietnam vets. God bless you all.
Excellent ! Dahl 101st Danang 23rd inf ChuLai 70-71 I was reading all the comments on here and thank you for the kind words. But as it was said before is those of us who made it back, a large piece of us was lost over there. We didn't expect a parade but a little respect would have been nice!
Thanks to Greg Wilson for making this song. I was married to a Greg, who was dead at 34 years, a Vietnam Vet. He had told me he had to take off his uniform fast because people were spitting on the soldiers returning home. He was proud to serve his country though. It was his duty.
Great song. It really resonates. Thanks for posting. 1st Lt. USMC HMM-263, Marble Mountain, Danang, 1969-70. IT took a few years for me to sort it all out but like many others we made it through and "made it home". Semper Fi.
I can remember coming home from school, sitting and watching the evening news and have the anchor person relate how many casualties the USA had that day. All of our men from 'Nam deserve a hell-of-allot more then they got. They are still being tortured with their memories...and the families of those who suffered with agent orange and passed on those genes to their children! Sure everyone stands up for our "recent" military people....BUT...THESE GREAT PEOPLE ARE STILL BEING FORGOTTEN!!!!!
I feel sorry for the Vietnam vets and also for any person who ever had to serve in war, including the recent vets who managed to survive Iraq. Mostly, though, I feel sorry for the youth and idealism and naivete which allowed these young people to believe in the fear based propoganda of their governments. I am truly sorry for parents who allow and sometimes even encourage their sons and daughters to go to war int he first place and come home suffering from PTSD or in body-bags. For what?
this is awesome. Our Vietnam Vets need even today to be told we appreciate ALL they did. I have some friends who were in Vietnam and married a Vietnam Vet. Some have wounds that cannot be seen but don't think they aren't wounded.
All heroes, everyone! Many never heard those words of thanks. They all have my respect and thanks. Take a moment to thank a vet, and their families. God bless.
This is a beautiful song. Sadly though each of them deserved a hero's welcome upon returning home yet it didn't happen. They were treated badly. I have complete respect for each and every soldier past and present.
We can't forget those who have served in wars, just as we can't forget those who will be headed to war.
my uncle was killed in vietnam,1969. i have now found meny men he was with the night thay where ambushed. this song is great, becouse all the men that went took are place,so we could be free--- may we all live to sever them proud !!!! let there hopes and dreams live on in us all....
@agaichapter25, thank you, but no, I would not wish that for anyone--then or now. Maybe its the 40+ years that helps me to say this, but if I can learn to respect and honor those whom I fought against, then I would hope that she could do the same with those whom she villified. At least, I would hope that she would have the opportunity to do so. Only then can the healing process be real.
Great song! Ooh-rah!!! Don't forget we are all americans. Maybe I will write a song and tell the Recon story someday, but for now I will just listen to all of the great songs by real song writers out there.
TheRodFarva Hooorahhh bro im sry u got hurt bro... welcome home
keep all the vets in ur heart all wars all conflicts.. welcome home all... disreagrd the morons we love yall yall have ever done for us.. Gunny 1st recon
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
We never declared war on Viet Nam, and had no reason to. Ho went to 2 different American presidents(Wilson and FDR) and asked the US help him set up a country with free elections. We had no interest in democracy in Viet Nam. Once the French left, we propped up a corrupt dictatorship. I appreciate the sacrifice made by those who were drafted, but we just caused the death of 2 million Viet Namese and 58,000 Americans. Look at Korea. 46,00 in 3 years! And we're still there. Free America first!
War in Vietnam, organised by money masters financing both sides, just to tear up the place.
But
You people, who went there, were phantastic. You made it home. you don't like to hear it, but you were heroes fighting Communism,few people know it is one of the ugliest, most evil threats to human society.
Beautiful song, thank you so much. Welcome home, may you find some peace in your hearts.
I can only think of all my friends and young boys who never will have the chance to have a family or give their parents grand children because they answered their countires call. I shed a tear for al them and wil never forget them. Ken...U.S. Navy 1963-1967
My most vivid memory of my, "homecoming" was the protesters outside the gates of Travis AFB. We had been warned that it might be a good idea to change to civies, but since none of my things had caught up to me when I was medevaced, all I had was my uniform. Outside the gate I locked eyes with an absolutely beautiful girl. But on her face was this look of utter hatred. The next thing she did was to throw dog crap at me, which would have hit me but for the window. Welcome home!
I love the video. I was in Nam 70-71 and I am proud I went. The ones who served were a special class who gave it all and still giving. We are out here watching and making sure that our younger Brothers and Sisters get all the respect and honor they deserve. God bless all who served and still serving.
i am sfc hucks i served in nam 68- 69 with B-5-7 air Cav God brought me home yes i was wounded three times but God kept me alive i love this song and video thanks for your service i salute you but we dont need all this velger talk think about what God brought through and thank Him
Good... The war that no one supports and veterans were rejected by society.. How cruel and disrespectful... This song is good for dedicated to those veterans.... I love it!
You punk!!! Respect our veterans. You would have no freedom to post your comment, if they hadn't given you freedom at great cost (killed, wounded, captured, etc.)!!!!!
I think that your msg is stupid. I have that 101st patch on my right shoulder and I know Dong AP Bia. I am an Infrantry Officer and I need no crap from a REMF.
Any war is crap. The lose of life on either side is devastating. I'm sad for anyone who suffers as a result of death.
To enter any warzone rightly or wrongly takes courage and bravery. I'm sorry there is war in the world but I also thank the all vietnam veterans. If I was alive or of military age I would have been conscripted as my birthday was one that was pulled out.
Nothing against your post but your birthdate being "one pulled out" sounds speculative. (actually ALL numbers were pulled out, just some pulled early and some late) There were several draft years and they were all different.
Mine was the only one of all of them that I wouldn't have been called. Lucky me I guess. All the rest were low numbers. OTOH You may have had a real unlucky number that "hit" (was low) in all years, so to speak. (You are talking about a US draft right? UK have a draft?)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
mantobeat, its the politicians, who drove u into this madness, and ppl hated them and u for it, any talk of the victims? NO!! course not, how many innocent victims did u bomb, murder, rape? you cant count them can u? i feel sorry for u, but more so for them,
As a drafted Vietnam Veteran, this tribute to us is welcome, and appreciated. It is too bad my friends and people in general did not support us as humans then, but rather hated us, spit on us and beat us up just for doing our duty. I spit on them.
As it should be, Spit away. They were never worth a spit anyway. Off my first tour they spit off my 2nd they threw bad things. Off my third tour I took one out . Satisfaction.
nice song...veterans of vietnam war must be memorized by our generation and we can't forget them, because they discharged their duty and they fought with courage in that terrible war...I salute them
ALL veterans should be proud of their service, regardless of what spineless peace-niks think. As a former HM2, I salute all who have the courage to answer their Nation's call. "Our Nation, may she always be right, but, our Nation, right or wrong."
They served there country so you would not have to! my uncal served two tours of duty maybe he took your place or one of your Hippy friends if you people dont like America then get the fuck out we DO NOT WANT YOU!!!! God Bless America and God Bless All those who had the guts to serve this great nation!!!!
Vietnam is a graveyard? look at the U.S.A the Civil War we killed each other mitsotribal if you were made to fightwuld you want to come home to people disrespecting you spiting on you hiting you all becouse you had no choise but to go? And "distressed7" go put a gun in yur mouth and pull the trigger my father was in Vietnam it he was still alive he would kill you himself you love peace butyet the peace movement made bombs to set off here at home if they did not get there way!
Part 2. When you see a any...Veteran, You better say THANK YOU!!! I really do Believe, they All...deserve it. Thank you, Uncle Peat, and all my other Uncles who served, Cousin Bob, and all my other cousins and Last, but in no...way at all, least, My big brother Curtis James Crowe. Thank you bro, I love you and I miss you.
I guess I'll have to leave my comment in Parts! They say it was too long. LOL. Part 1.
This video was Awesome!!! No, I'm Not, a Vet, but I have a few family members that were...or are. I've never witnessed the spitting in the faces and so on...but yeah, I do know, that they were treated like Crap! Nothing in this world...will ever make that right. It's Wrong...on so many levels! They gave Life, and Limbs for all...of us.
No one ever spit in the face of a Viet vet that I knew in the Peace movement other than morons who I found out were in some cases actual ops who were sent to stab the Peace Movement in a most insidious way. One of the inner people of a movement of Rising Up Angry, warned us all that the biggest mouthpiece was CIA. She was never seen again. No one of any worth I knew ever saw a Viet Vet other than a sincere victim at worst. You're all ignoring the profiteering aims. The Tonkin Gulf lie as well.
It is our brothers in arms that gave their lives for an ungrateful nation that still haunts me today and probably will till the day I die. I dont know who wrote the following line but it is the truth. A Veteran is someone who at one time in their life, wrote a blank check to the United States of America to cash and use as it seemed fit and was willing to cover that check with their lives" I hope, if nothing else, we have at least learned, that we must never turn our backs on our veterans.
No one with a heart wants to turn their backs on anyone whose tried to do right under the undaunting media pressure for young men to follow honor and ideals even if that call covers a lie. Out of McNamara's own mouth we learned that the Tonkin Gulf excuse was a ruse. Then he died. Out of the coverage of researcher Richard Blum's own mouth we learned the Pentagon lies were even worse. Out of Prof. Alfred McCoy who spent more time in Nam, helped by few, than most avg. tours that we defended heroin
My dad is a New Zealand Vietnam Veteran, his time in Vietnam was between 1970-1971, and his unit Victor Five. This was the first time i've ever heard this song, i'll have to play it to dad one day.
Three tours (68-71) , two purple hearts, two divorces, battle with drug addiction, an night mares to this day. I would still answer the call, RIGHT ON BROTHER
@accepting So true! Even now, my husband 100% disabled from wounds he received in combat, still looks at his time in the USAF as his best years, doesn't regret his 3 tours in Nam & would still, if he could, give his all to serve, again.
Love of county & love for those he served with, both those who came home & those who did not.
That 'strength of character' is something that those without character, honor or a sense of duty, will never understand or possess.
JFK was pussy whipped with whores, girl friends & starlets. He sold out the Cubans at the Bay of Pigs. He sent Green Berets & others to Viet Nam, had President Diem assasinated & set in motion the absurd war policy of MacNamara & Johnson - It took Nixon to bring the enemy to their knees in getting us out without defeat. Then in 1973 the Democrats cut the funding, disgraced the American word & raised the white flag as they are doing now. JFK stole the election from Nixon with dead people votes.
I don't know if this is really the words but this line it true. "War can be burtal. But we can sometimes fall in love with it."- General Robert E. Lee (CSA).
my gradpa wasnt in nam niether was my dad but my gradpa he was in korea he was an airmen he saw the best of the war and the worst at times
they had to evac the airbase he was at because of reports of the north koerans head there way. they left but a hand full of men stayed behind. when they returned to the base they looked all around for the men they couldn't find them until they looked inside of the hangers. the koreans hung every soilder that stayed behing from the rapters:( it makes me cry
I'm very sorry. The N Koreans were some goddamned brutal bastards. My dad had a high draft number but my grandpa fought in Korea with the Army. He was there 1952-1954. He doesn't talk about it much...
yea mine didnt talk about the war much. only a few storys. but ut still made me cry when he told me them. and my gradpa wasnt drafted he volenteered he could have gotten out of the draft because he was the only son in his family but duty called and he answered it.... he died last november 31st, 2007 and not a day goes by that i dont think about him........ i miss him so much
if i was alive then he wouldnt of taken my place i would of enlisted and not be drafted because this is my country and when duty calls i will be there i fight for her and defend her when the time comes
i like this i know what you are saying i was there with B-5-7 cav 68-69 i also remember the return home how i was treated PLT. SGT. SFC HUCKS I SALUTE YOU ALL
I'm a USAF medic assigned to JPAC, I just returned from my 6th trip to SE Asia seraching for MIA from the war. Thanks to all the vets that served. You are not forgotten, and we are still searching.
I feel very sad to hear all the comments about the way soliders were treated by there fellow Americans after coming home, however I can't agree with us being in Vietnam. Many vets that I have spoken to also feel that the war was wrong. I am so sorry though for the treatment of both y'all and the vietnam people who were mistreated by our soliders.
its so sad the way our HEROES were treated in vn era it make sme sick to think that some americans are such cowards THANK YOU TO ALL SERVICE PERSONAL WE LOVE U
My comment was a reply to "mujaku". I know I shouldn't waste my time with pathetic losers like this but that just pissed me off. It did really happen.
Protesters spitting, actually happened on occasion. We were called many different things, all derogatory. John Kerry, Senator from Ma. helped perpetuate these myths after giving a speech to Congress. He claimed he witnessed acts of murder, rape and other atrocities committed by young soldiers in VN. He served only 4 months in country. We were kids, we did not ask to go there. We did what we were asked to do, only to come home to discover that most Americans were ashamed of us. Great song.

While I was there, all I could think about was going home..."back to the World." Got my DEROS orders and was the happiest man on the planet. Hippies spitting and shouting and throwing shit. I know now they weren't mad at us. We were just the most visible representation of the source of their rage. What really pisses me off is they were right. Gov't told us we were defending freedom and we believed it. Truth is we were generating profits. Bastards! And it's still the same damned thing.

Thanks to Greg Wilson for making this song. I was married to a Greg, who was dead at 34 years, a Vietnam Vet. He had told me he had to take off his uniform fast because people were spitting on the soldiers returning home. He was proud to serve his country though. It was his duty.

I can remember coming home from school, sitting and watching the evening news and have the anchor person relate how many casualties the USA had that day. All of our men from 'Nam deserve a hell-of-allot more then they got. They are still being tortured with their memories...and the families of those who suffered with agent orange and passed on those genes to their children! Sure everyone stands up for our "recent" military people....BUT...THESE GREAT PEOPLE ARE STILL BEING FORGOTTEN!!!!!

I feel sorry for the Vietnam vets and also for any person who ever had to serve in war, including the recent vets who managed to survive Iraq. Mostly, though, I feel sorry for the youth and idealism and naivete which allowed these young people to believe in the fear based propoganda of their governments. I am truly sorry for parents who allow and sometimes even encourage their sons and daughters to go to war int he first place and come home suffering from PTSD or in body-bags. For what?

At least, I would hope that she would have the opportunity to do so. Only then can the healing process be real.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

We never declared war on Viet Nam, and had no reason to. Ho went to 2 different American presidents(Wilson and FDR) and asked the US help him set up a country with free elections. We had no interest in democracy in Viet Nam. Once the French left, we propped up a corrupt dictatorship. I appreciate the sacrifice made by those who were drafted, but we just caused the death of 2 million Viet Namese and 58,000 Americans. Look at Korea. 46,00 in 3 years! And we're still there. Free America first!

My most vivid memory of my, "homecoming" was the protesters outside the gates of Travis AFB. We had been warned that it might be a good idea to change to civies, but since none of my things had caught up to me when I was medevaced, all I had was my uniform. Outside the gate I locked eyes with an absolutely beautiful girl. But on her face was this look of utter hatred. The next thing she did was to throw dog crap at me, which would have hit me but for the window. Welcome home!

Nothing against your post but your birthdate being "one pulled out" sounds speculative. (actually ALL numbers were pulled out, just some pulled early and some late) There were several draft years and they were all different.
Mine was the only one of all of them that I wouldn't have been called. Lucky me I guess. All the rest were low numbers. OTOH You may have had a real unlucky number that "hit" (was low) in all years, so to speak. (You are talking about a US draft right? UK have a draft?)

No one ever spit in the face of a Viet vet that I knew in the Peace movement other than morons who I found out were in some cases actual ops who were sent to stab the Peace Movement in a most insidious way. One of the inner people of a movement of Rising Up Angry, warned us all that the biggest mouthpiece was CIA. She was never seen again. No one of any worth I knew ever saw a Viet Vet other than a sincere victim at worst. You're all ignoring the profiteering aims. The Tonkin Gulf lie as well.

It is our brothers in arms that gave their lives for an ungrateful nation that still haunts me today and probably will till the day I die. I dont know who wrote the following line but it is the truth. A Veteran is someone who at one time in their life, wrote a blank check to the United States of America to cash and use as it seemed fit and was willing to cover that check with their lives" I hope, if nothing else, we have at least learned, that we must never turn our backs on our veterans.
jtee222 3 years ago
No one with a heart wants to turn their backs on anyone whose tried to do right under the undaunting media pressure for young men to follow honor and ideals even if that call covers a lie. Out of McNamara's own mouth we learned that the Tonkin Gulf excuse was a ruse. Then he died. Out of the coverage of researcher Richard Blum's own mouth we learned the Pentagon lies were even worse. Out of Prof. Alfred McCoy who spent more time in Nam, helped by few, than most avg. tours that we defended heroin

JFK was pussy whipped with whores, girl friends & starlets. He sold out the Cubans at the Bay of Pigs. He sent Green Berets & others to Viet Nam, had President Diem assasinated & set in motion the absurd war policy of MacNamara & Johnson - It took Nixon to bring the enemy to their knees in getting us out without defeat. Then in 1973 the Democrats cut the funding, disgraced the American word & raised the white flag as they are doing now. JFK stole the election from Nixon with dead people votes.

Protesters spitting, actually happened on occasion. We were called many different things, all derogatory. John Kerry, Senator from Ma. helped perpetuate these myths after giving a speech to Congress. He claimed he witnessed acts of murder, rape and other atrocities committed by young soldiers in VN. He served only 4 months in country. We were kids, we did not ask to go there. We did what we were asked to do, only to come home to discover that most Americans were ashamed of us. Great song.
