THE VIETNAM SONG (SAD BUT TRUE)

This song is dedicated to all the heroic Vietnam veterans who served and came home to an angry public who disrespected them and treated them without honor.

(A message to all those who disrespected the soldiers who came back from Vietnam)

You can hate war as much as you want... but you never, never, NEVER disrespect the soldiers. Who gave you the right to disrespect them in the first place? You were never there, so you have no idea what they went through.

I'll never forget that place. When I got home in 68, a cop spit on my face. I never mentioned the war again, until 3 years ago. I found one guy from my squad. last time i saw him, he was a chopper going out. I followed a month later. Pain for 20 years. I sit in my room and listen to this song. Can't help it. I sob each time.

@triumph181 You have your head stuck in a very dark place Why do you think we had to stop traveling in our uniforms that we were proud of? Urban legend what a bunch of crap.

The words, tune, and music are nothing more than someone trying to make a buck off of the Vietnam Vet. The lyrics are something a 3rd grader would come up with. I was wounded twice. I did not spend it in the rear. And, YES, there WAS a REAR. I was a Marine Sniper and GRUNT. I saw it ALL. There is nothing you could shock me with. Nothing! $5.00 for S&H! WHAT A JOKE! With the weight of a CD you could send it by regular postage!!! And he names it The Vietnam Song! He's a joke. He wants your money!

My big brother ran and went to Canada and I thank my mother everyday for that...you men that had to act with no fear and then have your country not stand behind you...sorry I hate our Government for sending mothers American sons to die...God bless each and every person that goes to war...YOU ARE AND WILL ALWAYS BE BIGGER HUMAN BEINGS FOR EVER!!!

I'm a USAF vet, 1968-1972. Didn't go to the 'Nam. Feel that I didn't do my part. Survivor's guilt I guess. My mission now is to thank and welcome home every 'Nam vet I meet, no matter how long after the fact it is. I hope others are doing the same. Those folks deserve it!

toocoolpop1, 1senoj100, zfleming44, mrt7250, brotherant53, MegaFossil, thank you for your service and WELCOME HOME!

this is a quote from a "rambo" movie but yet true. "we just want our country to love us as much as we love it" i'm a Nam vet. god bless each and every person who ever wore a uniform for the greatest country in the world. to those who gave all, rest in peace. you're gone but believe me, you will never be forgotten.

Great video, I came home but many of my friends did not make it out. Bless them all

@frankydman To be anti-war is to be anti-Semitic. To be Semitic is to support all out nuclear war. To be anti-all out nuclear war is to be a self-hating Jew.

There was a lot of discussion about the returning vets being spat on and disrespected. It did not happen, as much as we fought against the war, the soldiers were heroes and always will be. It is an urban legend. I was a draft counselor and worked with vets all the time and they were amazed at how hard people tried to makes feel welcome. The incidents were few and far between and the few were widely publicized.

Yes, we Viet vets were disrespected. Thank God the Desert Storm and all Iraqi and Afghanistan vets didn't have to undergo what we did. We didn't ask to go, but did what our country asked us to do. So much for the liberal anti-war demonstrators that caused us so much grief, but I for one, am proud of my service.
