Thank You for sharing your story. THE SARGE

It is good to hear these stories. I think the general public needs to know more about sacrafices from our Military men and women. God bless.

Thanks for your service and for carrying on the tradition. God bless.

Coming home to a non-familiar country sounds really hard. Thank you for your service. God bless America.

These guys kill me. Did he mention that he had no legitimate right or reason to be in Vietnam in the first place? He was a chump and pawn of his Government and its imperialistic foreign policy. Vietnam had absolutely nothing to do with American freedom, safety and security. He was nothing more than an invader and aggressor in someone else's country that did nothing to Americans or the US. If guys like him would have had the brains and courage to resist what was wrong...we would not have Vietnam stories to tell. If you're looking for example of valor....quit watching BS propaganda videos like this. I'm a proud Vietnam/Draft resistor. Prove me wrong.

The trouble with so many guys like him was that there was that "family tradition" where the men of the family all had their individual wars to participate in. A reality....but a dysfunctional one. When Vietnam came around, it was time to question the rightness and justice of Americans being there. A lot of men blindly and sheepishly "did their duty". Vietnam veterans were both chumps and pawns of their Government. America was an arrogant, militaristic and imperialist country when Vietnam occurred. They reinforced that America....b/c they were a part of that dysfunction. If you are looking for valor....look somewhere else than these BS propaganda videos.

I was a proud Vietnam/Draft resistor when this guy was being a chump and going to Vietnam. He allowed a Government to decide the fate of his life. He was sent to an undeclared war. It was not his fight. He went to someone else's country that did nothing to Americans or the US. His time in Vietnam did NOTHING for American freedom, safety and security. He was an invader and aggressor where he didn't belong as an American. Nothing intelligent, noble and brave about letting a Government determine your life when it was wrong. Look elsewhere in life if you are looking for "valor". This is BS and propaganda.

I for one believe in what you say about everybody should serve our country as well, it would discipline the undiscipline IMHO, it can't hurt, but let me see how much flak I get from this. THE SARGE

Thank you for your service and welcome home. Semper Fi from a Navy veteran and Marine dad.

What makes this a story of "valor"?? The guy allowed his Government to send him to undeclared war that the US had no legitimate right or reason to be involved in. He went to someone else's country that did nothing to Americans or the US. The war had absolutely NO effect on American safety, security, freedom and way of life. An American being where an American didn't belong and not having the intelligence and courage to figure that out himself. Look somewhere else for "valor" instead of these propaganda videos.

I am a proud Vietnam/Draft resistor. So this is a story of "valor"? What does valor got to do with going to an illegal and undeclared war? What does it have to do with going to someone else's country to be an invader and aggressor when that country did nothing to the US or Americans? Lastly, if guys like him would have stood up to the Government when it was wrong we would not have any Vietnam stories in the first place. That war did absolutely nothing for the safety, freedom and way of life for Americans. All it did was be a disaster still effecting America in some way 50 plus years later. Look somewhere else for "valor".

No mission too difficult. No sacrifice too great. Duty First. Big Red One 1969.

Your description is mistyped. 1979 is there instead of 1970

My Tio speaking. He and my dad both served in Vietnam. They represent a generation of soldiers sailors airmen and marines that deserve so much more love and respect that they got when they came home. Nice to see these moments where they can be honored appropriately.

John "Todd" Swanson's name is, in fact on the list in the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor! Thank you for your service!

SEMPER Fi…. From a 26th Marines Vietnam Veteran

l use to talk in person to this brother. He use to drive concrete pumper.

Welcome back, and thank you for your service.

From a Vietnam vet -- thanks for your service.

Welcome home Mr. Cannon. Stay safe and enjoy life🙏🏽

❤

The emotional trauma of going from the US and seeing this kind of fighting. My cousin is still traumatized all these years later by the death of his best friend a short time after they arrived in country.

SEMPER FI MARINE THANKS FOR PAVING THE WAY

I agree…young men need to serve at least 2 years in military. It helped me to a young man and realize my potential.

Thank you 4:49 brother your a good man welcome home myman. Love to have a cup of coffee with you. To be in your presence would be an honor. Again thank you for all you did over there for us so i didn't have to go.

Yes, you're absolutely right. One requirement to be in the Whitehouse is to have served in the military. Not a dumb fawk like Biden. Also, it must be a must to serve a 3yr tour in the military after high school.

Thanks for your service! Everyone please remember the ones that didn’t make it back home! Thanks

Does everyone watching these videos drink the Kool Aid? Why does America so freely attach "valor" with someone blindly going to an illegal and immoral war?? The US Government didn't have the integrity and guts to declare war. It was never this guy's fight. He didn't belong there. He was an invader and aggressor in someone else's country that did nothing to Americans or the US. His time in Vietnam did absolutely NOTHING for American freedom, security and safety. I am a proud Vietnam/Draft resistor. It was not rocket science to figure out Vietnam was a BAD and WRONG event for an American to participate in. Apparently "valor" doesn't include using one's brain or the courage to resist one's Government when it is wrong.
