The way they were treated when they got home was disgusting I respect these brave men salute

One of my uncle's was killed in the Vietnam War. With that being said, I say God Bless the Vietnam Vets who made it back alive..

You guys are so beautiful and honorable men. I am so sorry for the way you were treated. You were young and doing a job that wasn't fun, but was a necessity in order for you to come home!! Let me WELCOME YOU HOME AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!

Back when, we never heard, “Thank you for your service”. At best, no eye contact, or insults because of our uniforms. We stayed to ourselves and took care each other

Brings tears to my eyes. Vietnam Era Veteran, 1965=67. Welcome Home!

It will never end for those who served. Betrayed by government. Viet Nam '71.

I was in Nam 69-70 I have bladder cancer 4 x lung cancer 1x. Thanks AO. I never smoked cigarettes !

I was 82nd Airborne. A young 19 year old trooper in my squad, died in my arms from VC fire. That young trooper is my nightmare!!!! I should be the one who never made it home! "GOD BLESS THAT YOUNG MAN"!

My Parents generation fought that war in Vietnam. I remember well growing up seeing the pains of that conflict, from the drinking, drugs, general hell raising. Once I grew old enough to understand what caused this pain I formed a love for all those who served in nam. Never will I forget the sacrifices made by these brave Americans. Anytime Vietnam vets cross my path I extend and hand, give a heart felt shake look them in the eyes and say "Welcome home brother, thank you for answering the call when so many didn't. I am proud of you"

WELCOME HOME !! Vietnam Veteran 1968-1970

I was 17 years old when I got to Vietnam-1966 through 1969 (My mom had to sign a waiver for me), I grew up fast and learned a lot, good and bad. (I am now 73 and still learning). I was stationed on the USS Providence and also stationed in Country at a place called "Monkey Mountain" close to DaNang,. I spent 3 tours of duty in and around Vietnam. 3 of my high school friends were killed in Vietnam, I was spared. I participated in the TET Offensive in Feb 1968, that was bad. Somewhere along the way I was exposed to Agent Orange (Nasty Stuff) I am now on disability for the effects of agent orange. When I was discharged and came home to the States we arrived in San Francisco, and there were a lot of protesters spitting on us and throwing rocks and eggs and called us baby killers. That was our welcome home. I tell you this to say to you, that whatever your position is or was on the Vietnam war, it was not the veteran who got us into the war, most of us went because we were patriots and loved our country. Blame the politicians, yes, but not the veteran. To all Vietnam Vets out there, you are not forgotten. As a previous combat Vet myself, I salute you my friend.

Thank you so very much for this video. I was a combat medic, (1969-1970) I will always honor the memories and brave men and women who I served with. Their will never be a stronger bond between men who suffered ridicule and torment. WE WERE HERO'S THAT PROUDLY SERVED OUR COUNTRY. These marshmallow babies that are coming out of colleges now, don't have a clue about real life. I am 69 years old now, but guess what? I can put a 5 inch group at 500 yards. Russian M-9 Mosen -Magant sniper rifle. Keep your powder dry and aim true.

I went too Vietnam in 1967 being fresh out of high school it was an honor to have help those that wanted to live in freedom and those men and women we lost will never know how hurtful it was to be treated like dirt on our return

I tell every single one of you Vietnam Veterans the same thing I told my daddy when he came back from Vietnam .."WELCOME HOME DADDY I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU "❤️

Thank you all for your kind comments , and yes it was tough coming home.. You didn't talk about it , nor did you wear your uniform. I flew into SF on my trip home , they told us , don't wear your uniform . Sad

All these guys want is to be respected and loved like anyone else, thr special in so many ways ,I'm proud to have them as my friends

Even a lot of WW2 veterans looked upon us as losers. That was hard to take.

Thank-you all foryour service may God be with you all

When I came home in August 70, we had our flight held up in Alaska for 7 hours. When I asked the Colonel in charge of the flight why, he said that's so we can get you back after dark. We were not allowed in the bar in Fairbanks. When we arrived in Ft. Dix, they taxied past what you could call a terminal and took us out to some building on the outskirts of Dix. No one there and it was raining. They brought out one of these mobile ladders and that is how we deplaned. I dated my future wife for 1.5 years and never told her I was in Vietnam, never talked about it in college, never on the job. Not that I was ashamed, just didn't see any sense talking about it. Come to think about it, I still don't. I am now a member of the Disabled Vets of America, time to do something for those who need help.

Thanks for your services Sir and Welcome Home ❤️🙏🇺🇸🌹😇🌹😇🌹😇🌹😇🌹😇💕😇💕😇💕🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

They were all heros to me and gave all for us back home. Thank you. Welcome home. I married a vet. He gave up scotch and that saved his life

Got home went back to work where I worked before leaving for the service and not one person asked me where I had been!

I am so glad we made it home but then. disappointed abut the treatment we got upon our return. I was a training NCO and proud to be there with my men. I was hit by a mine around the town of Tan An and fill sorry to leave without accomplishing our mission.

I dnt care what anyone says but vietnam soldiers are my greatest generation. And I'm proud too say that. USA USA USA 🇺🇸 sempi fi

Thank you for your sacrifice

I`ll always be proud of you guys...miss you Dad

as a marine infantry bet 87 91 I do thank you for being my heroes

I was there all 67 please remember the ones that didn’t make it back home!!!!!!??

I've commented before on thins but I need to do it again. Our cause was just, we did what our country ordered us to do and we are at long last getting the "welcome homes". Took me a long time to realize that while I didn't serve in country, I served and was lucky. Survival guilt?

Thanks you all for your service and sacrifice and welcome home

Thank you all. ❤

WELCOME HOME, THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏

Thank you all 😢 god bless you all 🙏

You know these guys and gals that served deserve respect because alot were drafted and alot volunteered and when there tour was over some of the civilian would throw stuff at them or spit at them and the reason i know because My brother was there and i am sure dam proud of him, i also served our military that's why we could all ways talk to each other God bless his soul and All the military people for giving there best.thank you All.

Welcome home brave soldiers...with respect

I was in an Infantry unit, that was deployed from the Danang area and moved up to Phu-Bai in an effort to stop the NVA in their 1972 Easter Offensive. We were one of the last combat Infantry Brigades , 196th to be left to support the South Vietnamese at this time. We were never acknowledged as being in this , because the South Vietnamese were supposed too halt the invasion. We were active in stopping NVA from moving in from the west of Hue/ Phu-Bai . Most Americans back home had no idea of what we were doing because of the anti--war protests back home.

Great interview .. respect .respect .respect .

Thanks you all

I was a Vietnam veteran before it became popular. Iron Triangle, 1969 🎖💜♠️🪖🇺🇸

I was coming through LAX on my way home from Nam in 1966 when I encountered a group of Hippies yelling baby killer at me. It took me completely by surprise b/c as a Navy Corpsman (Medic) I hadn’t killed anyone, and we were not well informed about the mood of the country.

That dude in uniform!!...Tuff!!🇺🇲🍺

Thank you all, God bless you.

May God be with you all

Thanks for sharing! I was there in 1969 and when we got to the San Francisco airport on 15NOV69 the protesters were there and tossing urine and feces and hatred and I went inside and stopped at the first restroom as it had been a long flight. I then saw an enlisted marine throwing his uniform into the trash and changing to civies. This was our welcome! I later flew in Desert Storm and the reception was such that I resented it having gone through what I did returning from Vietnam. Best of luck to all of us.

The marine SGT’s tunic look sharp!!

Excellent!

Welcome home heros! You were doing your job under crazy circumstances but you made it. I've known many vets from Nam even though I was way too young to serve. Those heros will always have a place in my heart for what you all had to go through to stay alive. I salute each and every one of you that served that messed up war. You did your best, now Welcome home warriors.

God bless you all and thank you all so much for your service… welcome home, We have your back.👊🏻🇺🇸

Times have changed the vast majority of people were to see others spitting on our soldiers and disrespecting them would get a good azz whooping on the spot and would learn not to do that again RESPECT our troops past and present alot of these troops stared death in the face and lived to talk about it God bless our troops

There was no help for the Vietnam Veterans when they came home from War. So Sad! Never Trust the American Government!

As I part of that generation can put a lid on the true American such as these and many unsung heroes that ro rhis day such as myself still live in the communities with eyes still focussed of the true American peoples . When we watch the red white and blue does its dance in the wind.

I joined the Marine Corps because my Grandfather was a Marine! When it comes to the people that say welcome home now, the young people, I’ll accept! When it comes to the people who spit at me and called me “ baby killer”, to hell with them! I won’t accept their apology because I truly don’t believe it’s sincere!

Bless you all.

I like that stewardesses statement

No help for these poor young American soldiers! So sad!!!

I cry when I herd ppl spat on our soldiers. Those spitting cowards wanna spit spit on ur Gov that made the decision. Our soldiers dnt ask why they just do. If we had no support in nam let alone back home. What do u think that do to our boys morale

I admire and respect you vet. Vietnam 697071

Feel sorry it won't be heard never will respect to all who served

Damn!

It doesnae matter where politicians in say the UK & the US send their youth into battle, it is not the soldiers who pick the fights.For me, the thought of rubbishing Scottish soldiers who fought on the orders of the British state is just completely unthinkable, these are lads that came from my community, my school pals or family. I would never have turned on these laddie's ever. They are our ain kith & kin & deserve our support & respect.

One thing that really pisses you off is when you get shot at and your Officer in charge won’t let you shoot back!!! This actually happened once in Nam!

NY Vietnam vet boys

Should've sent chuck Norris. Karate chops & bitch slaps 4 everyone & it's over. But they sent my grandfather who took 2 bullets 2 the face & still reenlisted. He served the entirety of nam & Korea.

We had NO right business to join this war. This war was completely POINLESS to America. We lost SO many people. I can't imagine fighting in a jungle getting killed by your own people on accident. Seeing people die, and suffering around you. Then coming home just to get even more disbelief. Being treated like you did NOT just survive a war, and fighting for your president's beliefs. And his beliefs were WRONG to send out these people. IMAGINE ALL THIS PAIN! This is unfair, unreasonable, and callous. This is just sorrowful for hear. Sorry to all these people who DID NOT get what they deserved.

HM3 BOMBELLA 2ND MED. BATTALION 1968-1972

some really wanted to fight the VC, some didn't want too that was the reason the U.S. withdrawal ...

“Don’t blame the warrior” My Lai was not an isolated incident.

My dad served two tours there and seen actual footage there and if it don't getyour attention don't no wtf will

Indochina call of duty😢😂❤

So it's like you had abusive parents and 40 years later they welcome you in and say, "oops. Sorry"

No one spit on a Vietnam War vet coming home...

To allyou that did not welcome them home my words to yous you are no good people to not welcome them home you spit on them called them baby killers if ihear you say that to one of them vets you get knocked out teeth givethem more respect than your tongues to run them down

That horror movie sound is AWFUL.

The military did NOT....I repeat....DID NOT "lose the war". In early 1973 the North Vietnamese signed a peace treaty. For the United States (and the American Military) the war was OVER! The fact that the North Vietnamese eventually took over the South (TWO YEARS, mind you, AFTER the American military had been sent home) had no bearing on the job the military did in Vietnam. The VC had been destroyed in the 1968 Tet Offensive. The North Vietnamese Army had been obliterated when they tried to invade the South in 1972. Their capital city was almost leveled in December of 1972, to the point, that the reticent North Vietnamese government agreed to sign a peace treaty. One might as well say the allies LOST WWI because Germany again attacked France, 10 years later, and took it over. The North took over the South ONLY because the AMERICAN CONGRESS cut all funding to the South Vietnamese military ( in the MIDDLE of the North Vietnamese invasion!) AND failed to fund the B-52 bombing (in 1975) that obliterated the North Vietnamese invasion in 1972. Without the help of the American (Democrat) Congress, the North Vietnamese would NEVER have taken over the South and there would STILL be a free and independent South Vietnam. So ANYONE who says the American military "lost" the Vietnam War.... is spewing BS!

All these guys want is to be respected and loved like anyone else, thr special in so many ways ,I'm proud to have them as my friends
