Im 66 ( born 1957) the govt the news kept us insulatrd from those horrors. I was older before i started digging into the war and...wow....no words. But war is hell

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

I remember being on an American Airlines flight and upon landing, The Captain said to remain seated as a fallen soldier was being loaded off the flight! The passengers were very respectful! Then a small young choir broke out in "God Bless America" and everyone joined them! One beautiful moment I will never forget! Love from Texas

Was honored to serve in the 173rd for part of my military career and lucky enough to meet some of the Vietnam era Herd Vets during the reactivation ceremony in June of 2000.

[@bashfyl]

They made a documentary where they went with Niles and took him back to Vietnam. It’s really interesting.

[@lincolnlewis6979]

Thanks on behalf of the veterans and their families

[@Smokeater4444]

Hand Salute from an Old Vietnam Veteran , It was normal for us to be out numbered BUT we were NEVER out fought

[@glassontherocks]

I'm 71 this year it is Memorial day 2024. Thank You for your service.

One of the guys who died & who's picture is shown (Daniel Sobota) is from my home state of Illinois. He was only 18 years old. So young. So sad.

[@valhowe1950]

Thank you for your reaction, great job honoring our vets! I was in high school that day and lost drafted classmates. I cry every time I hear this.

[@peggysoutherland1183]

One of their best.

[@diannthomas5653]

Such a moving song. To those who survived, May God bless you!

[@danielcrow4247]

I can't even make it through Chris Kristofferson talking without crying. Another great reaction and thanks again for honoring us veterans. Wrong Side of Heaven by Five Finger Death Punch is a very informative video about veteran issues. Sadly it's an old video and the statistics have gotten worse. Currently 22 veterans take their own lives each day. The band has another great video dealing with survivors guilt called Gone Away.

[@mattfieser1950]

Gone Away is a cover of The Offspring. Both versions are good.

[@maxell30cdr]

my father was one of the survivors of this battle.He and lawerence Joel were friends. My dad had told me he came upon joels during the battle and he had an blood transfusion going from his arm straight to the wounded soldier he asked how he knew when it was enough and he simply said He would know. I was 3 and half , sister 2 and baby sister 3 months we where living in Okinawa with 173rd then came home to bragg thanks

[@MikeWhitenight-ds2yi]

Awesome story!!!!

[@joeschmoe665]

1200 VC Vs 29 Americans. You fought your A$$ off to come out on top of that one.

[@Almcingrid3663]

We lost my cousin over there. He was a Marine but, only 21. My Uncle and another cousin were drafted at 19 shortly after. My Uncle still struggles with what he went through.

I made a mistake Alan Jackson "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning" Trace Adkins " Arlington"

[@Gashouse69]

Fear comes in the silent times. Once action begins you don't have time to think about being afraid.

[@jamesbogacki4453]

I just found your channel i was in A co 2/503 rd when it was reactived after Vietnam.There is a song called The Ballad of the 173rd by Veterans listen to that the watch the documentary on the Sky Soldiers from guys that were there in their own words

[@2eREPPARA]

Aussie combat vet When the LZ was hot and the rounds were coming in it was ALL about my brothers NEVER about me 🇦🇺🇺🇸 AIRBORNE UNTIL l DIE

[@dillonlexington]

I think the movie "We Were Soldiers" was based on the same conflict that this song was based on. I could be wrong, but I think I read that somewhere.

[@drakestreif5438]

That was the 7th cavalry in the da Lang valley, landing zone x-ray

[@DaTo-k1o]

The imagery is nothing compared to the smell. If we had smell-ivision, we would never have another war.

[@meridius-]

Five finger death punch-wrong side of heaven. A bit different than you do but in the light of veterans day would be appreciated, ty :)

[@karenwalsh1143]

It's hard but, this should be a mandatory video played on TV over and over at LEAST once a year. I've never seen this, and although it's sad and considered a downer... we Americans can forget so easily what our freedom costs! After 9/11 i know i felt love from strangers and we came together as a country stronger than ever.. i hope it doesn't take another tragedy for us to love our fellow man again 💔 but sadly, i think thats whats coming 😢

[@susancrouthamel760]

My cousin served in the Army in War of Vietnam for 2 years n said it was HELL. The soldiers were called baby killers. The Vietnamese would strap bombs on women n children n make them walk over to our soldiers n set off the bomb. Their soldiers would tell them if they didn't their whole family would be killed. When out fighting they would often see children carrying rifles n would shoot at our soldiers. Many times my cousin would run into them n had to shoot. To this day he has nightmares. Please react to "Courtesy Of The Red, White n Blue" Toby Keith n " Arlington" by Alan Jackson
