@ddancerable whats your point This page is here to remember those who gave their lives NOT to post your political views I will this comment here for about a week so my other friends can see it --- then remove it
Kyrie Eleison is Greek. It does mean "Lord have mercy" & it's the only Greek found in a Latin Mass. I was a Sgt at Tuy Hoa AB in 1968-69. Those of you who left in 1968 I probably typed your orders. I was just a lowly clerk in personnel. The day I was relieved of my job and was supposed to be a batman for a LTC I got word of a death in the immediate family & went home permanently. A lowly clerk is now suffering Agent Orange syndrome. My marine btl had it and got me to go to get check out. Yes +
I still find this Video so sad.. A waste of good men. I often wonder, do they have family members still alive? ...They were so brave, thrown into an unknown world and situation at a young age..
@tomliath My friends have brother and sisters that are still alive and Greg Fishers Mother is still alive. My three friends would have been from 62, 64 and 66 years old. check out the web site I have for them at bpapa DOT 2ya DOT com
RIP....From an Ex-British Soldier (Falkland Islands, Iraq, Northern Ireland & Bosnia). I hope our alliance lives forever. The UK and US have similar moral values... Wishing all the British and US troops a safe Christmas in Afghan...
@footeze226 ..Your welcome. It breaks my heart when I hear of lost lives in Afghan. I had my fair share of lost friends in the Falkland Islands, Iraq and Northern Ireland. God protect our troops..
@tomliath The thing is we in the U.S. shoot and kill each other at the rate of 83 PER DAY thats over 30,000 per year OR 1,000,000 since the end of Viet Nam -- And all the gun control nay sayers say THOSE WHO DIED fighting for our country died to proetect our rights,
@footeze226 continued from above: I know my three friends would NOT have wanted to die so that some Americans could continue to kill other Americans. Those who oppose gun Control ALWAYS say "its an inherent right given in our constition to keep and bear arms" But when the Constitution was written in the 1770's
@footeze226 Continued form above : - we need each house to have a gun --- because we did not have a standing army and MOST people hunted for food. If those who drew up the constitution had forseen what Would happen in 130 years ( after we had conquered the western US - AND DROVE OUT and killed most of THE Native Americans ) that there would be no need for each individual to have a gun - ....
@footeze226 continued from above: Now it is out of control and irreversible - the criminals will ALWAYS have gun and so most Americans feel they need one too - I personally Don't have one - BUT I used too.
@footeze226 .I fired my last round in 1992 in Bosnia. I feel for you living in this situation. There is gun and knife crime in the UK, but it is limited. Take care my friend.
I understand your gun problems in the US. A Gun License is granted in the UK for sporting purposes only. Police check would follow. Obviously there are weapons on our streets...but un-licensed, but not at the amount in the US. I often wonder...how would these un-trained fools match any vet in a fire fight...I KNOW THE RESULT..Take care my friend.

@megasuperock is a spot of male ejaculatory on the sheets of MANKIND
Where the hell is Bhutan ( That's where he CLAIMS TO BE FROM in his profile ) ---- I am sure THE U.S. has bailed the people there out of many other situations ------ They eat dogs there i see ON Goolge - Probably new borns too
@megasuperock strange on your channel you claim to be a converted muslim to christian, when both religions preach non violence, and you go and post things like this, I think it is you who are the hypocrite, and if you were really vietnamese you would already know that the entire war was a lie and a sham, so forget about it
Was American in danger from N. Viet N? No. R. MacNamara said there was no real attack on American ships at Tonkin. A lie or misunderstanding. Military Brass and politicians allowed us to get involved. Was it worth it? If we had "won" what could we show for it now? The dead would still be dead. Wars are only for polotical and economic gain. Soldiers are chaff to be used and thrown away. It isn't the soldiers fault. They think they are doing something right but the Govt. doesn't give a crap.
@greenchert You are right about most of what you say. This video is to remember the young men who are no longer with us because of politicians and their egos.......
@michaelsterling37 Gulf of Tonkin wasn't a lie. The NV navy attacked a US navy ship. What may not have been understood at the time was that a recent successful SV commando raid in NV may have had the NV beleiving it was launched from that ship. (forget the name now) and attacked in retaliation.
@gerry301 What people dont know is that there were two Gulf of Tonkin attacks. The first did indeed occur on July 31, 1964. It was the second attack that was fabricated by the CIA and Ray Cline. That attack was alleged to have happened on Aug 2, 1964
@michaelsterling37 The Gulf of Tonkin Incident, or the USS Maddox Incident, are the names given to two incidents, one disputed, involving North Vietnam and the United States in the waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. On August 2, 1964, the destroyer while performing a DESOTO patrol, was engaged by three North Vietnamese Navy torpedo boats A sea battle resulted, in which the Maddox expended over 280 shells
@footeze226 , and in which four USN F-8 Crusader jet fighter bombers strafed the torpedo boats. three North Vietnamese torpedo boats were damaged, and four North Vietnamese sailors were killed and six were wounded; there were no U.S. casualties.
I just recently finished my first 6 in the ARNG. For the civi's that 6 years in the Army National Guard. Anyways I believe we all including new recruits need to honor the men and women that have fought lived or died in every war. Not just military personal either, the civilians that get their freedom for what my brothers and sisters do for them. We don't ask for anything from you. We do our duty because we love it. All I ask is for everyone to show even the slightest bit of respect.
DioAtic the war was for nothing?? if your happy and proud to say that good men died in Vietnam so the american troops can be sent out of the country, lose to the Vietnamese and gain nothing from that war then you sir are stupid.
@eamon4800 What are you implying?Those soldiers gave their life for their country. That's honourable enough.The politicians are the ones to blame not the soldiers who were just fighting for their nation. US lost the war because cowards/idiots who were not patriotic enough and were against the obligatory military service started those protests against but the war wasn't all an empty cause. Millions of South-Vietnamese managed to escape thanks to the US. If ont it would have been another Camboja.
All of these challenges sound nice but there are wars & criminal wars. The USSR & Chinese communists have as much responsbility for this war, its disabled & its dead. Korea & Viet Nam were proxy wars against these 2 countries. Today we find ourselves responsible for 2 wars of aggression. Iraq was without doubt a war of aggression; Afghan is up in the air. Our new president hasn't been in office @ 3 years & bin Laden is dead. What happened to the Pres. before him? That's another story.
@aellarex We should be burning the poopy crops in AFGHANISTAN WHEN WE LEAVE and leave the soil unbable to frow the drugs. Those are the real 'Weapons of Mass Destruction" ask the tens of millions of families who have lost loved ones to the drugs..... Mr Obama OND GWB are the first presidant who has had boots on the ground - GWB was not able to destroy the crops for political reasons - WE WE LEAVE there will be no excuse for destroying them
This brings a tear to my eye.... A 19 year old young man. dead. Anyone who has the balls to say this war was for NOTHING,, should say it to a Viet Nam vet, see what he has to say about it. do it, i dare you!
@DioAtic I'm a RVN veteran & 100% disabled. At the time USSR & China were succeding in communising Laos, Cambodia & Vietnam. It was in fact a proxy war with the USSR & China. The French were the prime causal for this war. The communist n. vietnam & south VC had been fighting a continous war of liberation against France, Japan, France again & the US. After WWII the French who were so indignant of the German occupation of France couldn't wait till the could put Indo-China back into slavery.
Anyone who insults these vets who faught in this war, go find a vet, look him in the face, and say he lost his leg or arm for nothing. Tell him his best friend from his child hood died for NOTHING. Find a widdow of a soldier, and tell her that her husband was killed by a gook in a jungle for nothing. Do it. Dare you...
@DioAtic The people who critisize and DEGRADE OUR VETS don't have the B*lls to approach them.
While It is still not clear what our goal was in Viet Nam except to protect their people from the communists, IF the U.S. decides to get involved we should Support the men and women who are brave enough to answer the call.............
@footeze226 It's always been clear that goal was to demonstrate a willingness to support people who resisted organized communism. harry truman stated that he'd have sent guys into Korea even if he knew they were going to lose just because it was important to demonstrate this commitment. After the US and China signed those protocols about resisting soviet "hegemony" this became a lot less necessary. nonetheless, the real war crime was cutting the aid budget to south vietnam in 74.
over 40+ years ago as a young navy corpsman I watched many a brave USMC die or wounded. We did not fight for GOD, country or USMC. We fought for each other. GOD help us all.
im 12 now but when my grandpa fot in veitnam it was worse then haveing to face a tiger.I am so happy for the brave in all the wars so ill fhit in the war.
@Starfox5409 Thank for your thoughts. Just get a good education and enjoy the benefits of your life thats why they died so YOU could be the best person you can be That is the best tribute you could pay to them
to all those who agree the Viet Nam war was bad time in our history BUT those who served - served with honor please send a message to Yout Tube member strathpipe
( see his recent commentS ) bUT COWARDS LIKE him will no doubt remove his own comments
@madyoda69 YOU ARE SO RIGHT - Those who don't remember those times And make inane comments are just ignorant OR cowards like stathpipe ( SEE HIS Comments ) -------- God Bless our friends ( although THEY DON'T NEED IT BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL in heaven for sacrificing their lives just as Jesus did FOR OTHERS ) we are the ones who need Gods proctection and Blessing
Wow, this actually brought goose bumps to my arms. I am a 24 year vet who retired recently, and I never had to face what these brave men faced. Thanks to all those who have gone before and gave their lives for a cause. Whether you agree with the war or not, these men are special. Hats off to you!
Hello, I am from Vietnam.I respect all american army has come to there to help change Vietnam.My teacher english tell me when american come to there (sorry, i live in south vietnam) they help my teacher english when my teacher is student with poor english but they explain very easy understand. After that my teacher is teach english in school, some army can not good for say fuck or asshole but some is friendly help people, something when people and army live together. Thanks for help,wont forget.
My love and respect for the Vietnam Vets who stepped up and served their country. I have lots of friends who are Vietnam Vets and they are awesome people. To those who treated them with disrespect, Walk a mile in their shoes before forming an opinion. Looking down on them is like pissing into a headwind. Thank you Service people and God Bless!!
Good for you - Did you demonstrate against England when they used to rule half the world and commited much worse atrocities against humanity ??????????? Go eat some figgy pudding.
I demonstrated against this in the 60's - today my son, who visited Vietnam, showed my step-father and I the photographs he took - I was shocked and he was shocked at what had gone on there - there were certain things that he didn't elaborate on; I knew it wasn't right when I joined the demo all these years ago; I am glad (not that it made a difference) that I was part of the UK protest - Anne
@Shadowarrior6768 I salute you and your families sacrifices . Its hard to belive he will be gone 43 years next month on the 22ND.. DID YOU VISIT my web site at bpapaDOTvzeDOTcom it is a tribute to ALL who served.....
I am so sorry they never got to live the rest of their lives. All we can do is honor the memories of them and hope that we can finally stop fighting wars (I know it just a hope).
MANY THANKS TO AIR CAV AND THEIR MEN MANY MEN OWE THEIR LIFE TO CHOPPER PILOTS AND THEIR CREW,,,, GOD BLESS THEM ALL IAM 61 AND REMEMBER IT AS IF IT MY FIRST DAY IN COUNTRY..NEUBEE.....SOR1949
@1949sorful Te Movie "We Were Soldiers" defines the courage of ALL the Air Cav see my website bpapaDOT2yaDOTcom for my websitge dedicated to those who died......... God Bless You and thank you for your service too 1949sorful
this is moving to all men and women who served in that war,or any war I am not gonna get politicial here god bless them all P.S my father served in Vietnam
@Airman241 I believe the youngest Viet Nam vet is 55 yuears old the Youngest WWII vet is NOW 83 diod ypou read the webpage bpapaDOTvzeDOTcom that is my tribute page to all who served.......
seems strange when you stop and realize people you knew and loved have been gone 40 years. I remember that war very well like it too was a few years ago!
@Astrodan2600 I can still see Bill dropping back to throw me a long pass. And hear Gregs laugh, and Terrys Sarcastic remarks........... I don't feel a day older than I did in the 60's But When I look in a mirror I am shocked to see someone I don't recognize, an OLD MAN
GOOD VIDEO TRIBUTE! I served in the Middle East but let me just say this made me feel like I was watching a tribute to my own fallen brothers. Thank God we are eternal beings and never die!
why did the americans not just implement vietnamization from the start their casualties would be minimal and maybe not as many people would join the vietcong ........
@Dudethatstrippin This was not a pointless war, not a war fought by the Americans have ever been in vein. The wars during the Cold War prevented the Soviets from becoming a dominant power that would destroy all other countries around the world. Think about it, if we did not take action and liberate the these foreign countries they're would not be an America. Because the communist party would grow to be too powerful to be stopped. Be happy that you sleep silently at night.
@footeze226 Most of the Canadians are English, i just happen to be English and Scot.. I'm also a Vet and served with the 1st Div Recon in Lai Khe Quan,loi Have a lot of friends on the Wall.. First off Welcome home to all other Vets out there.. Also some of my buddies were Candaian French. Also a big shut out to the 3rd Royel Australian Regeiment. It sure was nice having them incountry with us.. To bad about the French,, But i got to tell ya the dinks had there shit together....
@brad04970 Sorry about the comment Brad it was made in haste to another COMMENT that was derogatory to OURFighting men --- the guy was from Quebec........ A hoser for sure
@footeze226 Hey Bill Everythings good my Friend.. We all have been pissed off by someone not worth the time nor the energy.. I like your site and I person can tell that you care about this Great land of ours.... No matter what they do or what they say they can't take away our love of Country..
@brad04970 Brad take a look at findthemissingDOTvzeDOTcom its my effoert to Find missing and abducted and solve other crime.... AS bit Radical BUT I beleive we really need to take THE suggested course.......
PLEASE sign the petition and SEND THE LETTERS.....
Long ago and far away...and yesterday for those who were there. Forever. Nobody cuts their own orders. All we can do is respect those who serve and remember those whose service ends their lives.
Politic's, Viet-Nam was never deemed...a WAR, that is why so many of our young men ( avg. age 19) were killed! My husband, barely 19, was sent to Pleiku,Viet-Nam, not a war, ..a ...conflict! Thank God he made it home! War, ..never the answer!
@TOMAN4EVER Does that mean we should NOT honor and remember those who died. They were duped into believeing they were doing it to protect us ALL, But they went with courage and dedication, hoping to make a differnece, maybe the cause was not VALID but theur intentions were...........
@timthemagicbus666 There is a TV show host IN THE U.S. - Nancy Grace who posts Numbwers of those who have died BUT SHE SHOWS ONLY THE number of those who have died in Iraq 4417 as of Aug 6th She tOTALLY IGNORES THE 1195 who have died in Afghanistan ... see Face Book page for BILL TOMSICK and look in his Olders posts for info about this......
I was there. A lot older now and maybe not any more wiser. When I got home I got treated like trash and never again wore my uniform here in this country in public. I was in Washington DC when The Wall was opened. It was an very emotional moment for me. I was asked to recite some names at the dedication but was too choked up and declined. To this day I feel very bitter about how this country treated us.
@broncoblazerf150 How the hell did they fight for freedom ? they fought so a country SPLITS ! .. It's all propaganda, US makes the USSR bad so they look good and ppl support them, know the truth b4 playing smart.
viet nam 67 to 69 flew with 388 aircraft recovery in soc trang,vinh long,and can tho,i thank all the solders of those times for having my back...thank you worriors...as for this ass lick chinaownsusa,i can only hope that i bred one of my childeren to hunt your sorry ass down and put you out of our missery,or better yet give me a date and place were i can meet you to send you stright to hell.....
If America had not involved the war, South Vietnam would have fallen into communism in 1954 and more Vietnamese would have been murdered in cultural revolutions like those launched by Mao in China (20 million deaths) and Khmer Rouge in Cambodia (2 millions)
Total Vietnamese democide by communists:1,040,000 (1975-87) by HCR
Ahhh, don't forget the almost 1 million killed in North Vietnam after Uncle Ho nationalized all land that was previously in private hands. There were many land owners that didn't see eye to eye with Uncle Ho, so, if necessary, they were killed. He did this to his own people. What a fuckhead.
As for the UAW, they still suck and build crappy products.
Isn't it nice that my grandfather made it back from WWII to work 40 years as a union member (UAW); Isn't it nice that my father made it back from Vietnam to work 40 years as a union member (Teamsters).
...Oh, so thankful.
Oppose almost anything an"R" does, they are enemies of the working middle class.
God bless our brave warriors that died in service to our country, they did what ever was asked of them and paid full price for our freedoms. I honor them all!
Ok Anyone seeing this page can contact costas07 by clicking on his ID Above Send him a message -- he is probably sticking something covered with grease in his as* right now
Miw1976 -- this costas07 is a piece of goat shi* -- We saved greece from the Italians and Germans in WWII -- without us they would be shoving sausage in their mouth (( OOOOPS costas07 already does that but with LIVE Sausage ))
we may have lost alot of men in nomb but u have to remember they intended on freeing this country they died for us not for themselves we have to remember them not for that one time they punched you but for that time that they saved this country and if you remember that all u will think of is the good times u had with that person ;)
This is what you get when you fight one of America's unjust wars of aggression. Thousands of fine young men and women wasted in a war for profits.

Those are the real 'Weapons of Mass Destruction" ask the tens of millions of families who have lost loved ones to the drugs..... Mr Obama OND GWB are the first presidant who has had boots on the ground - GWB was not able to destroy the crops for political reasons - WE WE LEAVE there will be no excuse for destroying them

@DioAtic I'm a RVN veteran & 100% disabled. At the time USSR & China were succeding in communising Laos, Cambodia & Vietnam. It was in fact a proxy war with the USSR & China. The French were the prime causal for this war. The communist n. vietnam & south VC had been fighting a continous war of liberation against France, Japan, France again & the US. After WWII the French who were so indignant of the German occupation of France couldn't wait till the could put Indo-China back into slavery.

Anyone who insults these vets who faught in this war, go find a vet, look him in the face, and say he lost his leg or arm for nothing. Tell him his best friend from his child hood died for NOTHING. Find a widdow of a soldier, and tell her that her husband was killed by a gook in a jungle for nothing. Do it. Dare you...

While It is still not clear what our goal was in Viet Nam except to protect their people from the communists, IF the U.S. decides to get involved we should Support the men and women who are brave enough to answer the call.............
footeze226 9 months ago
@footeze226 It's always been clear that goal was to demonstrate a willingness to support people who resisted organized communism. harry truman stated that he'd have sent guys into Korea even if he knew they were going to lose just because it was important to demonstrate this commitment. After the US and China signed those protocols about resisting soviet "hegemony" this became a lot less necessary. nonetheless, the real war crime was cutting the aid budget to south vietnam in 74.

Think about it, if we did not take action and liberate the these foreign countries they're would not be an America. Because the communist party would grow to be too powerful to be stopped.
