God bless all of our young soldiers who died over there.They had a mission and didn't shirk their duty. NEVER FORGET.
I served in Vietnam in 1965 and in 1971. I was in the Air Force . The first time I was flying all around the country. The second time was in 7th Air Force. I am still bitter about the way we were treated when we returned. And bitter about Lyndon Johnson who sent thousands to young men to their deaths. to satisfy his ego and political ambitions. My best friend was shot down in 1964 . He was taken prisoner then killed. I cry for him

Wow! It's one thing to watch a video of past events and scan the faces and not recognize someone but then to watch one and see your fathers name and face is a whole new ball game. Feelings and emotions that you didn't know where there suddenly bubble up and then you're left with not knowing how to feel. I am thankful Bob March for posting this and giving me the opportunity to see this glimpse of him, even if it wasn't in the best time of his life.

Excellent April.
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.

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.

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.
Great video and music. Brought it all back. Sp4 PH in country 67-68 Tay Ninh Cu Chi. Glad to see the wounded and KIA's being named and honored. Never forget their sacrifice.
Hats off to you brave men. God bless.

Outstanding video, God Bless our Veterans, many in my family
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!
went thru basic and Infantry AIT in 69 with Dave Bailey, this video made me think of him. I don't know if he made it, I should check. Respect to all those who didn't.
The good old days

Interesting video showing actual timeline of a company’s movement through Vietnam war. It sad to see these young guys sacrificing so much for war that we had no business fighting. They still have not been justly compensated or recognized for they and their families sacrificed. To make matters worse the ones who did make it back with wounds had the worst medical system in the country treating them! Sadly, the VA Hospitals aren’t much better today than they were then,
