Thank you for posting this video. It's hard to find words to say.. My husband is a Viet Nam Veteran and I am very proud of him. I will never forget the images of Vietnam-the average age of all those men and women was only 18. Made me cry over and over.. A very moving song and tribute to ALL our US Soldiers. I hope I said the right thing.

You said the right thing and I appreciate it.

Like most Nam vets, I'm not sure I could face the wall, even after 40 years. The names on the wall are guys we knew and they are still 19 or 20 years old in my mind.

These are real American Idols.

THANKS TO ALL THE VETS WHO FOUGHT AND DIED AND ALL THE BEHIND THE SCENE SUPPORT TROOPS AS WELL. WE OWE OUR VETS ANYTHING THEY WANT AND NEED. WAKE UP GOVERNMENT. IT IS A DISGRACE HOW OUR VETS ARE BEING TREATED. DONT FORGET THE IRAQ WW1 AND WW2

50poiuyt is Vietcong. that is why his feedback always against the US and south Vietnam army (VNCH armed forces). 50poiuyt always does whatever benefit to the Vietcong, their communist party, the current regime of Vietnam.Vietcong become governors of Vietnam, now. Their communist part is extremely crazy. Any person who original was Vietnam dislikes the Vietcong could be put in prison many years for just that. the governors treat people likes slave (of course, except their fellows and relative).

thank all US soldier who had come and serviced in Vietnam. It was all the honor of the US soldiers. ignore any thing the Vietcong said about.

Are you referring to the fallen Vietnam solider? You must be young, and don't understand this war or any war, or listen to those who have twisted history. We were not murderers or rapists. We were soldiers doing a job we had to do. None of us wanted to be there. Tell the mother of a fallen 19 yr. old boy that her son was a murderer. Tell the son who never knew his father that he was a rapist. I came home and raised a family and lived a life. These men didn't. May God rest their souls.

[50poiuyt]

@jeannie52 Proud of who was killer,rapist?

[Mimi1347]

@jimtraner Thank You. Its because of you and all the other vets that I am able to serve in the US Army.

thanks for posting this I had two uncles who were in hell over their and came back and I bonded with them through the stories they told me and one I don't see anymore (family disputes) but I still see my army ranger uncle who really is proud of me for becoming appreciative and he is leaving me his gear when he goes.

@jeannie52 I nearly heaved. I was a U.S. Marine going to war in Iraq.  i went to that war and apparently did some good.
