Yesterday When We Were Young - (1968)

It was my going away party -- a week before deploying to Vietnam.
A lot of the people in this film are gone -- but, not forgotten.

I think the hardest part of growing old is you are still that same young person in your mind and heart but the body just won't follow suit anymore. Beautiful song and video, thank you for your service and this wonderful time from your life.

That's me Barb, I'm going to be 72 in June, my wife passed almost 4 years ago. I'm in great health & I think i have a very young heart. But my heart grows lonely as women a few years younger say I'm too old & those my age or older say I look to young & energetic. What is a fellow suppose to do? This morning my 1st thought was that this stormy Friday would be a good day to die but its 2am Saturday & here I am.............

When I was young I used to hear the grown-ups say: "Youth is wasted on the young." I never knew what that meant. Now that I'm in my 70s, I know. If only I had the strength and health I once knew...and...knew what I know now, I'd have been able to live life in a much better way. No big regrets though...God is forgiving. Beautiful song...I miss Roy Clark.

In 68 I was 19, see and understand your point, its true, one word of advice to you, don't listen to everybody's bull shit, don't watch TV news, it's mostly lies, don't trust politicians, if you are alone, find a nice woman to be with and do anything you want and can do.

Wow, I’m the same age almost as Hamburger Hoover, over a few drinks my sister and me counted 19 people we grow up with that are now gone, this are just friends in our age group. I spend as much time as I can doing the things I enjoy, I’m working less, drinking more, spending time with my family and grand child. Life is so short.

[@DC-nr3jb]

I am happy to be counted as one of the elderly. So many of my childhood friends didn’t get to grow old. I have made so many youthful mistakes and survived as well as learned valuable lessons. I’m seeing life as a gift to be savored like a fine wine. Today I am quicker to forgive, slower to anger, and more generous with my smile. I have aches and pains that let me know that I’m not as strong and agile as I once was. These aches and pains also remind of my youthful commitment and dedication to my dreams. Yes, I am happy to be growing older. I know my days on earth are growing short, but I have a lifetime of memories. I have enjoyed the love of a good woman, the security of my family, and the warmth of my friends.

I miss those times when there wasn’t as much hatred in the world, or so it seemed to me. Things where simpler life was easier not everything was filled with opinions, hatred, and conspiracies. I’ve watched my country turn into a land of turmoil, descent, and despair, where violence is the rule rather than the exception. I pray that the world I leave for my children and grandchildren returns to some sense of respect for each other and those that we may we may not necessarily agree with. It’s okay not to agree, it’s not ok to hate each other for our differences.

I was E4 for a month before getting E5 in 5 months. My buddy, Jesse Carmona, Jr. was killed in Vietnam in 1968. I saw 4 men die at the same time and did not know their names in Vietnam in 1968. I was an OH6A helicopter crew chief with 1st Aviation. My girlfriend dumped me while I was in Vietnam with a "Dear John" letter. Hell, my first name was John. Look these guys up and honor them on Memorial Day. I break down and cry.

This hauntingly beautiful song has always touched me. Even as a kid in the late 60s and 70s I somehow understood the weight of its regret and perspective. I’m nearly 60 now, and the reality that I didn’t heed the foretelling of my own imperfect life, squandering many an opportunity as well as the shining promise of my own potential is incredibly sad to me. But then I think to myself, “Hey, you’re not through and this ain’t over yet.”

[@MrHolzheim]

You sir, are so right, exactly my sentiments. At nearly 60though, you're still a young man to me. For me at 76 it's too late, but my god I had a good time in the 60's. LOL while I wipe away the tears of regret.
