Magnificent! This wonderful journey brought back many memories of my time In Vietnam serving in the 504th MP Bn in Da Nang, 1970-71. Many thanks!

My late older brother (who was also named Charlie) co-wrote this song. I'm a bit mystified as to how Mr. Farren became so attached to it.

1:22:05 - 1:27:38 I stood at the exact same places during the summer of 2013, which means it was just a few months after your group went there. I knew these views and these landscapes will mark me forever when i saw them, that's why I recognized them straight away when I was watching your video. It feels so weird to know that and to notice it almost 10 years later... this gives me a bittersweet feeling of nostalgia I can't describe. Thank you for your video.

If you want to learn about Vietnam what really happened the only way to learn is by the vets who was there they give a personal insight what no film can do

Wow! This is so cool. That American veterans are able to peacefully visit Vietnam. A country that was the enemy long ago but not anymore. That is amazing how time heals many wounds. It says good on the side of the Vietnamese people and government. I hope that one day the Americans veterans that served in Iraq and Afghanistan are able to do the same. I understand that right now it is unimaginable that a Iraq war veteran will be able to go to Iraq peaceful but in 20 to 40 years it can be possible. A decade after the Vietnam war or even W2 it was unimaginable that the veterans of those 2 wars would be able to Visa the country where they fought. But nevertheless it did happen. So we must never say that Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans won't ever be able to visit those countries.

VN war was ever a brutal and fierce war engraved so much both good and worst memories in a short time for these past young, innocent, just graduated HS boys. I’m glad they were able to go back , lived back to their own memories and moving on in a more peaceful way.

I am a S.Korean. Many of our fathers and uncles came back S.Korea in body bags. But, American Vietnam vetrant's attitude is so impressive. They actually rebuilt diplomatic relations with Vietnam. Wrong decisions were made in U.S. policy level. U.S. soldiers who fought there were not to be blamed.

@Danny dragon as a US Korean dual citizen I apologize for horrible stuff that happended to Vietnam. Koreans often ask Japan for a official apology for the annexation of Korea and WW2 but we should at the very least reflect on what happened and what we did in Vietnam. The offical stance of the US and Korea is that we wanted to stop the spread of communism in Asia and I 100% respect and agree on that position that global democracy was threatened and needed to be defended. At the same time Ho Chi Minh first came to President Wilson to establish a unified and democratic Vietnam, but we refused him. It just sad that we could have been friend from the start and saved so many lives.

@Danny dragon - You are a DLV AK47 who kiss communist ass. American did not invade VN. They come to help South VietNam (It was a separate country) to fight North Viet Cong. Vietnamese Communist killed a lot of south Vietnamese people. Communist never cares about the human life. even now, they can kill or prison any people they like. Communist is the most evil regime on earth.

Hi guys, Tet 1968 was terrible! HoChiMinh order to bury a live 5,680 civilians. Later Summer of 1972, Viet Cong invaded Quang Tri killing a lot of civilians on 13 High Way. Uncle HO was cruel than Hitler in WW2, because uncle Ho killed his people.

It was the Vietnam War veterans who started the process towards normalization between the two countries. It's vets like this going back that began the reconciliation needed to heal from the war. This is an aspect of the legacy of the Vietnam War that the veteran can be proud of.
