[@janvandijk6863]

I feel privileged for having served with some of those brave guys in Europe (1975/1976) after their save return from Vietnam. Nobody thanked them for their service and that's a shame. As a Dutchmen I will always thank the US troops for liberating my country and return freedom to my parents and grandparents. Vietnam veterans deserve our respect. Thanks to "The Gipper" for acknowledging that.

[@BobMarch]

Many thanks for that Jan.

It was British troops that liberated Holland, XXX Corps in particular

[@robertlytle5574]

I got out of the Marines in Sept 71. Flash forward 24 years and the start of the Gulf War. I will never forget that a young man held out his hand and thanked me for my service. I was taken aback as it had taken almost 25 years for someone to recognize my service. Of course, I should say that I came from a small rural area and there we Vietnam veterans were recognized the day we got back.

I went to Amsterdam in August 1989. Was told by many people about what Americans did to liberate the Dutch from the Nazis. I was treated great by the people at the hotel I stayed in."We remember what your country men did for us". Any place I went I showed them a message written in Dutch on the hotel's business card.Dont know what it said but it was like having the key to the city. Had a wonderful time. Went back again a year later. Another wonderful time.

This film contains tons of historical valuable information of Vietnam War. However, time flies by quicker than we ever expected but men who fought and served the war during the harsh period of American history never die just like General Douglas MacArthur said old soldiers never die; they just fade away. That's why you must be proud of yourself for sacrificing so much time and your soul.

We should give total and unending respect to those military from both sides killed and badly injured in this war We should also recognise the sacrifices made by the families of those involved. We should utterly condemn the failures by politicians in how they committed others to die We should utterly condemn those senior military figures who were happy to send those under their charge to their deaths We should utterly condemn those financiers and industrialists who made fortunes out of the sacrifices of others.

I mostly condemn the politicians who wouldn't let the military do their job thus extending the war and causing so many more deaths.

I served in Vietnam as a lieutenant (1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division) between July 1967 and August 1968. The war itself was pointless, immoral and, perhaps worst of all, unwinnable. Everybody except General Westmoreland seemed to know that. But none of that detracts in the slightest from the sacrifice and bravery I witnessed all around me in some horrible days and nights in country. Those young men were some of the best the USA ever produced and we should all respect and remember them always. I know I shall.

This was a senseless war that the U.S. should have never been in. My ex-brother-in-law had P.T.S.D. after he got back from Vietnam. He told me horror (WAR for you 'grunts') stories that he had experienced when he was in Vietnam. I also heard stories from former Vietnamese military guys who became my co-workers. I see their patches similar to the patch at Fort Hood, Texas. Were these Army guys from there? If war was fought with a game of chess, the world will be a better place to live in. I like how you posted the names of the people who served. They deserved to be known to others, for their honor and bravery. I am reminded of my father, who barely survived the Bataan death march in the Philippines during W.W.2. My father is still alive, living in the Philippines. He's 98 as of this year, 2022. And my civilian uncle, after somehow was released from the Japanese prison camp, enlisted in the U.S. Army, got sent to Germany to fight the Germans, then came home with a German wife!
