- 53 years after thinking one of their comrades died in Vietnam, three veterans reunited in a surprise birthday party in Caldwell. The moment, five decades in the making, was something Ivis Sloane and Jim Mattis never thought would happen.
It gave me chills when he said " i thought i would never see my buddies again " damn ! Brotherhood !!!
That made my startin cryin like a baby
@@isaiahvoorhees1096 'Brotherhood' f-me, the Vietcong had more brotherhood than any American could imagine. Could fight with nothing, live on nothing and die for each other and their cause. Have a nice day.

@@hunterbaker3394 OK the Yanks did a great job over there! Happy Now?
@@marburyeducation Yeah
I have two tours. 1972 through 1974 Contiguous 651 days in country.
Thank you so much for your service sir. You are this nation's hero!!
Welcome Home!👍🇺🇸
No R&R?
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your service
Ok who's cutting onions? Jesus christ I'm a mess over here
Wow moment🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sorry bro!
I fight onions.and I loss badly.....Respect and honor to this guy's.
As a dude it’s a little embarrassing but me too
That’s what I’m sayin 🇺🇸
Internet really is something, one day you look at some weird step siblings stuck in the window, the next day you met your friend who came back from death...
Lmao
Jesus, this is so blursed
Unfortunately, The internet's state transformed into the former permanently. Nowadays we have edgy, annoying Dumn 14 years, obsessed with politics & spew their skibidi gyatt skibdi toilet Sigma alpha Diseases every corner of the Internet. wholesome videos has gone nearly extinct.
My grandfather served as an officer in the airforce during the Vietnam war. His plane was shot down, he was shot. And he is still alive to this day
Thank God he survived ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It is good to see the Vietnam Veteran finally getting the respect they all deserved! I was in that region of Asia in 1970!
Semper Fi Brother!
The war was pointless, the soldiers only followed orders and I respect that to the highest
@@timberd1513 my grandpa was drafted & he said when he came home wearing his uniform he’d get spit at
@@adrianacrews2493 Sorry to hear that
@@adrianacrews2493 Good. Your Grandpa deserves no respect specially after murdering innocent kids in vietnam.
God Bless The Veterans. Heartwarming video.
War criminals
I agree dont u think we should help them?
@@Sara-bs9rz shut up
@@Sara-bs9rz How exactly?
@@dirtburger38 because they were getting smacked on so bad on their own turf they had to say we did some type of war crime 💀
These stories are so important, if anyone in your family is a veteran listen to their stories if they’re willing to share. Don’t let these memories pass. Were the last generation to have stories from ww2 vets and Korean War vets, it means the world to some of these men to have an outlet to share their experience and it means the world to me to have the honour to sit and listen. It’s an emotional experience and a very human experience. Vietnam veterans are getting older, soon their stories will fade, take the time to listen.
Can you imagine the RELIEF he feels? A 2 ton weight just fell of of his shoulders. God bless these men.
God bless them.. All the Veterans. True hero’s

@UCc3bmpiyf4X2i8WZe6N0yLQ ANERICAN HEROS TO YOU!
heroes, you illiterate sof
@@serviciodeadministraciontr4132 I will find you - and very soon.
God bless our veterans. I'm glad our Vietnam-era vets are finally starting to get the respect they deserve.
The ones who called them baby killers had babies that grew up to be baby killers. Kind of ironic "abortion".
I have a lot of respect for veterans of all wars but the Vietnam veterans will always hold a place in my heart. Going through all the horror over there serving our country and coming home to be spat at and called baby killers by good for nothing protesters.
As a younger brother of an Vietnam Veteran, clips like this wants me to both want to cry and smile
I don’t care
@@roccothemaster2157 Nobody ask you to
@@roccothemaster2157 last time i checked no one asked
@@Frye-uf1nf that’s awesome
@@roccothemaster2157 where you live Rocco?
Imagine losing a dear friend to never see them again, and then years later being able to reunite after finding out they are alive, I'm currently on a train of emotion and it isn't stopping at this train, I'm off to the next good feels story.
Although I never set foot in Nam, as an Air Force Nurse receiving men like Tony in Japan (Tachikawa AFB), 24 - 48 hours after being hit in the field, I have a hughe place in my heart for Tony & all the VietNam Vets. This brought me to alligator sized tears, & I'm still crying. I was a rock back then but now I'm old & a cry baby. Thank you for this posting. Luv U guys.
Người Việt Nam tuyệt quá, họ không vì nỗi đau chiến tranh mà vùi dập đi tình bạn tốt đẹp hôm nay và ngày mai.
Tôi đã đi nhiều nơi, thăm thú nhiều vùng đất trên thế giới nhưng chưa nơi đâu tôi thấy ấm áp và hạnh phúc như ở Việt Nam.
Con người thân thiện, thức ăn tuyệt vời, chưa bao giờ tôi cảm thấy lạc lõng ở đây.
these guys need to regroup again away from the people,,this situation was fusterclocked these guys needed privacy to aborb this fact!! God Bless You for Sure,,ifn you need/want it!!
Imagine the stories they told just to each other sheesh
My father and uncle both served in Vietnam. My dad was was the only survivor from his platoon. He died about 8 years ago. I enjoy watching different stories from Vietnam or like this. For some reason makes me feel close to my dad. Thanks to all the people who have and are serving in the military.
My respects to you sirs! Can't tell you how much respect
As a seventh generation family member of Veterans who lost their lives for our Country I salute our Veterans Everywhere from Philadelphia, Pa. Thank you for your Service!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I like when He had his arm around his brother in arms and said, "We Made It" and his friend nodded his head yes.
That's a Brotherhood That Can't Be Broken.
Been nearly 30 years since I have seen my boys. This one got me bawling. HAPPY VETERANS DAY !!!

So heartwarming to see them on the couch together thank all veterans for your service
Spent my entire Memorial Day watching these videos and not regretting a single second of it. So heartwarming to see brothers in arms reuniting after so long. I can only hope to keep in touch with all the amazing people I served with as time goes on.
Thank you All for your service in my country!❤️

@@ajferrara6149 for what grammar when you can understand it anyway, no one is "perfect" in this world, and so you are
@@GegesOne I think you just said I was perfect but you’re probably too illiterate to understand that you did
they did us a service unequalled ..god bless them
BRILLIANT, NO OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT !!!!!! THANK YOU GUYS
Best story I’ve seen in a long time
We love you guys! Thank you so much for your sacrifices and for serving our nation. We need more real men like you.
Tears.....Tears fall like Rain❤️
I just want to thank all of the veterans but especially the Vietnam veterans fir yalls sacrifice. My grandfather served in Vietnam from 1967-1968 and because of him and hearing how they were treated when they got home i make sure to shake vietnam veteans hand and welcome him home
They just made me cried, l wish we never grow old 😔😔😔
Thank you for your service to all of you
*some people born in the 2000s would never understand how much these veterans helped us*
thE PeRsOn I was born in 2004 but my plan is to enlist in the marines, my dream is to serve this great nation and to keep America’s freedom. I respect nam vets too. But your right, not many kids my age understand and care for the sacrifices that these men made for our country. Have a good one🇺🇸
If it wouldnt be of thse guys USA would be conquered by vietnam!!!!!!!11

He felt hurt having to leave his friends after an injury dude my heart
Wow . That means so much to these soldiers
These kind of moments make me so glad for technology and how it brings people together who thought they would never see each other again. What a tender moment.
Now this does not happen enough. These guys were sacrificing their lives for many of us. We will never forget ...
❣️This is the real friendship never die💪
Can you imagine the poor guys from older wars, WW2, WW1, and so on that had to go through that. However never getting the chance to ever find out about there brothers. My heart goes out to these guys and other like them, God Bless our Vets.
Aww man someone is definitely cutting onions! Thank you for your service Gentlemen!
How precious is that, they say life goes in circles. Right up there first love and first child for them, and doubt brought some closure.👏👏👏👏

Few people today can appreciate, or even understand the bond that forms between buddies who have been through hell together.
God Bless them all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Welcome Home Gentlemen. You made it!
friend's come and go. but brotherhood last a lifetime with those you call your brother's. that's something i learned a long time ago
How beautiful.stay safe guys. X
My military experience left me with lifelong, brothers, all of us were tighter, than a drum.
Beautiful
That closeness you have with your brothers in the military cannot be replicated anywhere. Look at how those old, hardened men embrace each other and have no problems showing affection. You don’t care about public perception you just love them so much.
It’s an incredible bond. Man do I miss my buddies
So happy for them😊
That's a real bond
There is NO friendship, like the friendship you acquire in pain, suffering, and war.
My grandfather hasn't fully opened up about his time serving in Vietnam but has told me some intense stories
Thanks for making my cray like a new born!! Lol incredible story!!!!
God bless them and all those who have served, especially the Vietnam vets who are treated like dogs when they returned.
Awesome!
God bless these heroes!
God bless these heros
So cool 😃
Bro in arms till forever.
My grandpa was a medic in the Vietnam war
