I wasn't in Vietnam, but my Dad was and he never talked about it much, that is until I came home from my first tour in Iraq,I ended up doing 2. I guess there's nothing like war to bring a father and son closer together.. My dad always had this kind of music playing around the house, so I like it myself. This was one of his favorites, He passed away a year ago today, and since my wife and little girl are out of the house at the moment, I'm drinking a nice cold beer and remembering my father.

I joined the service and after being down range a few times we talked more and more about it. One night he told me how him and his buddies would all sing along too this song when they were over there. He passed a few years back, miss him everyday.

A song that had a lot of meaning to us in Vietnam. When I came home to public abuse of spitting on us, throwing dog feces on me, potential employers actually slamming the door in my face after finding I was a Vietnam vet the song once again had meaning and since I wasn't welcome in the United States I just wanted to get out of this place to, returning to Vietnam was an enticing option. I'm glad soldiers, airman, seamen etc. are getting a warm welcome home. I'm not sure if someone is actually sincere when they now say "welcome home" or "thank you for serving" to us Vietnam vets or if they are saying it because it makes themselves feel better. I know when a Vietnam vet says to another Veteran it is from the heart. I was a Vietnam Veteran before it was popular. The Marine Corps took me back, I didn't get a chance to go back to Vietnam, I had to remain in the USA where I was not welcome but over time my anger I developed during the time in Vietnam began to dull. When I had my first child I had something to focus on besides the anger and devoted my life to that child. I ended up doing 32 years in the military. My anger is gone, the PTSD, Depression, Anxiety attacks, Panic attacks have gotten worse but I focus now on keeping those monsters locked up. Unlike so many veterans from any war from any nation who turned to drugs, alcohol and suicide, I do not want to hurry my demise but it will be a welcome relief when it comes and I won't fight it. Then this living Hell of damaged emotions will end. I actually look forward to it but not with a sense of urgency. Thank you for letting me ramble, it is good therapy they tell me to talk and get it out of me. I feel a bit better now for the moment. Again thank you for enduring this long comment. Great song

Paul Bear I was in the French Foreign Legion, that is my inner secret, because everybody have mouth to talk, to spit on you saying you are a murder, but nobody is helping to ending all those wars around the world, nobody is helping to build social structures and end with all war glorification and propaganda, nobody is helping to help us to not take the tragic decision to have a job in the military, because at the end of the day... Nobody cares whom live or whom die in a war. For the people that just stay at home, is another movie, trying to guess who will be the "winner", and when the war ends, all people imagines that Oliver Stone say CUT! I met an american soldier that sent me an e-mail and said: When the war is at the gates, everybody glorify the military, everybody have its stickers that say support our troops, they give you little slaps in your back and keep saying that is our duty, defend your nation, is for the future of our nation and your sons. Parents are sending its sons to war, and when sons are in uniform, parents say: That is my son (or daughter) and when you came back they say: I do not know this man o woman, and when you come home, everybody shut the door in front of you because maybe you are a lunatic. They say Welcome Home, but inside them they say: Welcome Home but do not get too close to me. Everybody say: Thanks for your service, but with a phony smile, wishing to themselves never having been there. Sad words I guess. I cannot tell you welcome home, because all of us never returned at all, is just a little time in our lives that, the only place we can call home, is when we are in peace, begging for forgiveness for what we did and forgiving for what others did to us. And doing good things in benefit to others without waiting the others thank to us. And the last I can tell you is: In a war the winners are those who sold, and the losers are those who use (what they sold). So simple. However brave man, if you learned the lesson, you will never send your sons to fight a meaningless war. We Decide to take the propaganda and believe all the lies, or say NO!. But anyway, at the heat of the battle, we can decide if we will do atrocities or keep a human inside us. Fight with honor and respect, or just have a behavior of a little boy playing a video game. Keep Pushing to Life! =D

This here is a SHOUT OUT, to all surviving Vietnam Veterans.........THANK YOU, FOR YOUR SERVICE!!! I am so glad you all came home and it still breaks my heart how you all were treated, when you returned Home. I was only five years old when my 18 year old cousin was sent to Nam, back in 66. I was so proud to know this guy and I got to sit on his lap on the ride to Fort Lewis, Wash. At that moment, in my life, my cousin was my greatest hero. I didn't find out, until I was around 10 years old and nobody wanted to tell me, before then, that my cousin barely made it a week in Vietnam, when he and his group were ambushed and my cousin was killed. I took it harder than my family thought I would. I was inconsolable. That conflict was not our fight, nor should our troops have been sent there, but, we all now know the reality of just what a fiasco Vietnam was. I have so much respect and just as much love for all the surviving Vietnam Vets, who sacrificed so much of themselves, for such bullshit and then got shat upon, by their own countrymen, who should have saluted you guys and shook your hand, instead. I have always felt this way. You Vets ARE my Heroes! Thank you, once again.

He passed away (may his spirit rest) in 2010 from alcohol abuse and I owe my freedom to him and EVERY person/soldier in the military.

Being British I am grateful my country stayed out of Vietnam. I have seen that wall in Washington and in 1998 I went to Vietnam. I cannot imagine the hardships that those poor American boys went through, the constant terror, never knowing when danger could come, the heat and the hostility of their own people when returning home. I remember a woman I met in Vietnam, I complimented her on her excellent English, she told me she had been married to a GI who promised to take her to America but he was killed in the Mekong Delta, so much misery and grief all around only time will heal the scars. Though my country stayed out of Vietnam and I know no one who fought in that war I give our American cousins my respect. My own father is dead now,(He died in 1998) he fought in Normandy in WW2, I remember he never talked about the war, most vets don't , they just want to forget, not wanting to be reminded of that terrible times in their lives. Yet I can still see my father with tears in his eyes when he watched on TV as the queen placed a wreath of poppies on the Cenotaph (Memorial) in London. 50 years on and the sight of the Queen laying the wreath still brought tears to his eyes, somethings a person never forgets, no matter how hard he tries. I believe all veterans are deserving of respect, whether they fought in WW2, Vietnam or the Gulf, for people like me who has never been to war we cannot even begin to imagine what the vets went through and with many of them are still going though, the dreams and nightmares that will torment them for the rest of their lives.

I am not a US person. I was in England during the Vietnam war which was relayed to us daily on the 6 o'clock evening news. It was hard to understand the seeming lack of support from a large portion of the US public, calling returning servicemen 'babykiller' and other derogatory epithets. If the US military had the domestic support the British had in the Falklands they would without doubt have done much better, especially when after the Tet offensive in 1968, they recovered from a surprise attack and had the enemy on the run. But the political directorate at the time seemed to have got cold feet and let the military down. The military did not lose the war...the politicians and domestic opponents threw it away, settling for a face saving withdrawal of sorts. Salute and honour all who served. Rest in peace all who fell.

I will wear it today, May 31, July 4th, and November 11th - Veterans Day. Took me this long to find pride in Serving in the most racist group of people I have ever had the bad luck to know.

At least you got paid! My Husband couldn't keep his mouth shut, or his fists to himself, not to mention the 4 times he went awol! ( Before getting shipped out) He didn't get paid the entire time he was over there, made his money gambling! The last time they picked him up from being awol, the CO told him, you done F'd up boy, your orders were for Germany, guess what son, you're going to the jungle, when they literally kicked him out of the chopper, the guy said, where you gonna run to now! So he did his time, but he was never the same man after that. He didn't even get to finish his AIT! They made him wear handcuffs all the way to Vietnam! He DID NOT want any part of a winless war!

I hate all the men who went. I'm happy Vietnam won, so don't be saying that you love the men who went. All those who wanted to go to war there should be seen as either idiot who blindly followed the news or people who just want to kill innocent people. Because if there is one thing Americans are good at, is getting casualties and killing the wrong people. My grandma was happy when she saw the b17s until they ddropped the bombs on a city that was 150 kms from the first germans. This is my view of it.
