Real Vietnam Tribute

Learned from my last mistakes, this version is a lot more calmer, but (The End by the Doors) an excellent song from Apocolapse Now! Thank you.

Information: The original song used here was The End, by The Doors. Due to Youtubes' strict copyright bull****, I had to change it, sorry.

It still fits quite well, I'm sure you'll appreciate it.

"OLD SOLDIERS NEVER DIE: YOUNG ONES DO" - that was the inscription on the Zippo lighter of a poor young soldier whose body we through on a chopper 40 years ago after the 173rd Airborne was supposed to go home under Nixon's re-election campaign to "end the war". Only the flag and the generals went home, the rest were re-assigned to the 101st. It seemed sad at the time that none of us even knew his name, but the worst part is that the "end the war" slogan seems to be happening all over again.

We were all so young, my 19th birthday was in country. Brothers in arms forever!

I turned 24 when I was in country in 1970 at Marble Mountain. Sometimes it seems like that time is just in the rear view mirror, and other times it seems like so long ago. I salute those who never made it home, and who will remain forever young in our hearts and memories.

Semper Fidelis!

Beautiful music accompanying the video is quite moving. Vietnam veterans will always be special to me -- growing up and as a kid during the era this war and the men and women who served in it will stay close to my heart and part of my identity.

@micheal47comcastnet ...and I would try to talk you out of it. I did my two tours in my mid to late twenties, and I know now it was the stupidest, thing I or my country ever did. No, second stupidest. The second Iraq war was the stupidest. Bless you, brother.
