Annual Tribute (2024) to our Vietnam Veterans for National Vietnam Veterans Day

Here is my annual tribute (2024) to our Vietnam Veterans. With each passing day, I am amazed on how much more I learn of what our Vietnam Veterans experienced then and now. This video is a collection of “my” Vietnam Veteran and his brothers with whom he fought and stood by & continues to stand by. Thank you for your service and Welcome Home 🇺🇸

Vietnam Vet that didn't run off to Canada nor miss being called a Baby Killer and the spit even from my , what used to be friends but no more. My best friends and brothers and sisters have a beautiful name on a huge Granite wall that was not made for Cowards but the bravest kids this country could get. We gave our all so you could be free.

Great respect to all those who were put through hell in that terrible war, but the one thing that discussed me is the way all those dogs were left behind after doing there service saving many troops lives, shame on the government of those days for not bringing them home, is there a memorial for those poor dog's, if not why not, they did there service along with everyone else who was out there, they should be remembered in your history and not forgotten, great respect from across the pond,

My husband was a VN veteran. (1968-69) I lost him last year after suffering 3 strokes and congestive heart failure. He was proud to have served his country and never complained about his struggles over the years. I am so proud of him and miss him terribly.❤ God Bless all Veterans.

[@dadskrej5226]

Welcome Home all my Brothers and Sisters who served and made it home. RIP to those who did not.

[@USNveteran]

I was of the Vietnam generation, had a draft card but also got a letter saying I didn't have to report as they were stopping the draft. Didn't report and wound up going in a few years later. Served with quite a few Nam vets one guy was even Korea & Nam. They were all a great group of people and I feel privileged to have worked with them & learned from them. I guess all I can say now is a very, very, very, long overdue WELCOME HOME to all the Nam vets. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!

God bless 🙏 all the Vietnam veterans ❤ my brother served there in 1971.

[@VaLynne1]

My husband served then also!

[@joginns778]

@@VaLynne1 great respect to all those who served in that terrible war, but I have to ask, is there a memorial for all the dog's that worked with the troops and saved many lives and the payment these dog's got was to be left behind what a disgrace leaving those poor dogs behind, just because your government didn't want to spend the money to bring them home😭😭,

[@PaulRidgway-ot7jf]

God bless all of our amazing service members. America owes all of you a debt that we can never repay. Thank you from the absolute bottom of my heart.

[@user-yo7yc1uc7b]

I am German. But I think Vietnam Veterans are real heroes. Respect! I visited the memorial in Washington. I was deeply impressed. America? SIMPLY GREAT!

[@francesbaldwin2526]

As a Brit born just after the second war I have appreciated the freedom I have had in my life. It is only now that we are living in these troubled that I really appreciate the sacrifices that were made for us. I have visited war graves in many countries and appreciate all those who helped us from the individuals to the countries. The memorials at Washington are the most poignant I have ever seen. I do believe that America still owns the troops who went to Vietnam a huge apology for their homecoming. Great respect to all who served and are serving.

[@joginns778]

I've yet to see a tribute to all the dog's that went to Vietnam and saved many troops those dogs should also be rembererd and not forgotten after all they were classed as military,😮

[@user-ww8yv7fw8f]

My daughter is the daughter of a Vietnam Veteran, proud of him

[@johnj.flanagan-songsoffaith]

Thank you for your annual tribute to Vietnam vets. I am a Vietnam vet, USMC 1963-70, SVN 67 and 68. Phu Bai Thua Thien Province. Also wrote a song as a tribute to all vets, peacetime and during wars of our past, like my father and uncles, who fought in World War Two. The song is “ Passing out red poppies,” and it is posted on my KZbin channel. Best to all. God bless America. God bless our vets, young, old, deceased, and living.

My husband passed away October 15, 2019, with non smoking lung cancer from having served in Vietnam. He had lived a healthy life but Agent Orange got him in the end. Interestingly enough he never had lung cancer issues, no coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath. Walking very fast 5 miles a day before breakfast, even after diagnosis and knowing the pain in the bones in his wrist was not arthritis as believed at first but was stage 4 lung cancer. He lived a year after diagnoses. Immunotherapy actually gave him 5 months -pain free- after having the wrist amputated that had given him so much pain, in the middle of that year, but when the pain returned it was with a vengeance. We enjoyed attending the high school sports games, when he passed the football team came dressed in their jerseys! Such an awesome tribute to my husband. He passed 46 years, 5 months and 4 days after our wedding day. And boy did we have fun along the way! We traveled to 6 of 7 continents, (did not make it to Africa together) 48 of the 50 states (did not make it to Tennessee nor South Carolina together. We had wanted to go to Vietnam together so he could experience the country with a cultural point of view and not worry about being shot at. It didn't happen but I was in Vietnam last month, March 2024. It was an amazing trip. I miss my American Soldier, my Vietnam Veteran Hero! P.S. VA did take care of my husband as they should have during his illness. And I do get a check from the VA now as a widow.

My younger brother was a heavy alterarie gunner drafted into army age 18 . He was a wonderful man , I did what I could to help him get over the war. He died of cancer of stomach , the Drs at vet hospital lied and said he didn't have Asian orange . I still miss David and cry for him .my younger brother James was in Navy on a ship repair, he's alright, my older brother was drafted same time sent to Germany because he had 2 brothers in war .He tried to get sent to war and get David back to USA .the answer was no. I went to VA hospital Everytime he went he finally got on disability before he died

[@user-pw2yi8vu4p]

[@janegardner5976]

Nice job on the video! Even though its been 50+ years since our Vietnam Veterans came home, it is still nice to hear the "Welcome Home" and know that our veterans service was appreciated. Most veterans served honorably and sought only to make the world a better place for the people of Vietnam in spite of what the media proclaimed. Some service members never returned home alive. Those who did were ridiculed and reviled as warmongers and baby killers as if they were the ones who started the war. Some survivors came back so broken that they could not be fixed and succumed early to alcohol, drugs, suicides, automobile accidents and the ravishes of PTSD. Thank you for your support for our veterans. Marine Wife, Jane Stuewe Gardner

I too made a video as a tribute to all the Vietnam veterans. It is entitled "Galveston: A tribute to those who served in Vietnam" . I posted it on KZbin 16 years ago. It is sung by Jimmy Webb. Jimmy wrote the song. I think Jimmy's version is a truer tribute than the version by Glen Campbell.

I was there 68,69,70. My heart breaks for the 58,000 plus who died, and the politicians who did not die.

[@marklangkamp3151]

That’s nice and I thank you, but why is it mostly about the Marines with just a few clips of Army and where is the Airforce and Navy? It’s always the same I’m a member of the VFW and mostly about the Marines they don’t even talk to us so I don’t even go to meetings. I guess if you have a petty uniform you always get center stage. USA 101 Airborne Pathfinder welcome home Navy and Airforce couldn’t have got the job done without you guys!

[@jonimadolora1874]

I respect ALL branches. I started and still do these videos for my Marine and his brothers he served with the 311 Marines on a personal level. I’m not really sure how more veterans are viewing my videos but they welcomed too. One of my cousins was with the 101 Airborne & was KIA in ‘68. My other cousin was a Ranger. Cousin Ronnie was Navy. All branches served AND we can’t forget the women - especially the Army Nurses. Next year’s video will be more inclusive because my Marine’s Vietnam Support Group feels comfortable sharing their photos next year. Thank you for your comment. Thank you for your service and welcome home!
