$5000 from a casino president is an insult to all who served
Like he said,"It was the least he could do..."
Agreed. Mgm is a billion dollar corporation.
The very least he could do is to create a non smoking room and transfer this poor man to work in that room. Could have also offered employer sponsored mental health counseling via an Employer Assisting Program. One sooners game?? How about a season pass since hes so chummy with the coach or owner. I have frequented Mgm a few times but seeing how little value is being placed on 40 years of service . Im not sure Ill stay there again
Agree
How much have u donated since watching this?
@@sumsyn107 100 dollars 🤷🏾♂️
''They're gonna think I'm a hero''. You ARE a hero! THANK YOU for your service!!
The same thought crossed my mind as I heard him speak those words...and that humility only amplifies the greatness of that man! ✌️
I literally immediately started crying when he said that I swear like this is wild
You ARE a hero and not forgotten. Thank you very much!
I would like to add that we are all thankful that you made it home.
Most definitely!!! Really hits me hard when I hear how humble how the olden generations are. And I look at this generation and makes me wonder about the future. Regardless we’re optimistic about what the future holds. And thank him for his service 🙏
Give me a break, what a tight wad. This is MGM a huge gaming & casino house that rakes in millions. That man deserves way more after working there since '93 and for serving our country!
I agree a raise would of done it man near retirement now.
Glad I'm not the only one seeing that. I was expecting him getting paid so he can retire already. My man got 2 extra fans. What a joke
Argee
They actually make billions not millions
He said, "It is the least we could do". He was right, it was the LEAST they could do. Wow...wouldn't a retirement with full pay be better...or paying off his debts...or setting up a medical fund for him...or a retirement fund...wow, what a cheapskate.
What a deligthful man. The reward from his boss is underwhelming.
they only have a profit of 10 billion a year .. so 5000 is .. alo.. nvm ..
He didn't get a raise or anything It's a joke
@@dewetjoubert8921 here’s a helmet - see you on Monday and keep working till you die old man
@@dewetjoubert8921 i agree ,but thats how rich people think. toss out some crumbs and people will praise you.
Truth
Of EVERYTHING that CEO gave that man, the chance to spend time w his brothers, being rewarded a helmet from his favorite team, working to fix a problem that most people wouldn't even bat an eye at, ALL that gentleman was ready to talk about was a donation to an organization that he felt so strongly about!
"They'll think I'm a hero!"
Sir, you ARE a hero, and having your name on that donation is at the very bottom of the list of reasons!
As the granddaughter of a veitman veteran, thank you for your service.
Fans on a table doesn't change the fact that this man could end up getting lung cancer and heart disease due to this ridiculous business.
My bro has worked for MGM Vegas since the day they opened same of this guy. long time. The turn over in management is ongoing joke as one ignorant boss gets replaced by others. And about smoke it….many many casinos have segregated areas they don’t allow smoking.
Do the math.. he was in Vietnam when he was 10 years old, maybe
Instead of banning smoking we will be adding TWO FANS!
@@gretashapiro4118 the episode aired 11 years ago and was more than likely filmed at least a year possibly two more or three prior to being debuted on television making him at or about 20 years old while serving his country and being drafted into that war, so before you go talking shhhT about a veteran use your noodle and math a little better. Go kick rocks
"Vietnam never leaves you." I grew up across the street from a Vietnam vet...he was right. Wow.
That is so true. My late father is a Vietnam Vet and I remember when I was a kid, my brother bought out dad a Bob Dylan tape and was playing it while our dad was asleep, and my dad started yelling out his buddy's names and telling him to run. It was scary and when my brother finally stopped the tape, my dad woke up and he was pissed. My dad could fall asleep listening to Bob Dylan and have no nightmares. I used to be so afraid that my dad would have nightmares, because he was listening to Bob Dylan as he would fall asleep. I once stopped the record for fear he would have nightmares and my dad woke up and asked why I stopped it. Of course, I never told him why, but my mom knew.
My grandpa was a combat medic from 1969-1970 and he would say the same thing. He saw the worst of the worst
Was he an 9year old draftee as well?
@@gretashapiro4118 noone said they were still alive, but thank you for the cynicism.
You know, life isn't binary; there are other choices than naive or mean.
@@brmbkl I don't think people should bullshit about important subjects like being a veteran to a war you were not old enough to be in to garner sympathy out to tell fake stories. The show is not that old. No, sometimes it's important to be mean. If we still had more bullies, those freaks would not be going near children in the classrooms
Not forgotten sir. It was different times then. I've known several vets from that era and I've thanked them all. Thank you for your service sir.
I m from England and I think all of you veterans are heroes it was disgusting the way you where treated in your own country god bless everyone of you ❤️
I agree. They went where they were told to go. They had no choice.
@@walterpalmer6312 maybe so but not by me nn governments give a shit about veterans in any country
When I see a Vietnam vet... I say Welcome Home... Because they were never welcomed home.
@@walterpalmer6312 it’s just the humble U.K. way of the Tommy. We went to war for each other not for kudos or perks.
Us Iraq and Afghan veterans in the U.K. can find a lot in common with the nam vets.
I wish Vietnam veterans didn’t feel forgotten, I feel a special type of sympathy for those guys

Unfortunately they were for many years.
They wefe abandoned ny the hivernment that sent them there, and they were despised by the people living in this country.
My Uncle Joe was drafted in 1966 and served 2 tours in Vietnam 67-69, Armored Cav. out of Fort Campbell Kentucky. When he was discharged in 1970 my Dad(his older brother) and my Mom drobe from Detroit Michigan to Ft. Campbell and picked him up and brought him home because they didn't want him taking the bus or train the military bought for them at the time.
I wad ho.e on leave in 94 and Selfridge Air National haurd base in Mount Clemens Michigan was have their open house weekend and an air show as well.
My Uncle had asked if he would present some awards he and other Vietnam Vets were finally recieving after over 20 years of government beaurocratic b.s.
I had already served in Honduras in 87, Panama in 89 and the first Gulf War and he told me he wanted someone that understood what he went through over their and not some Lt. Colonial that read about Vietnam in a book.
So I spit shined my jump boots, had my class A uniforn dry cleaned and made sure all my ribbons and badges were in proper order under the UCMJ.
When I presented my Uncle with his long over due awards and ribbons I damned well made sure my shit was squared away and tight. That was one of this biggest honors I ever experienced in my 20 years. I was truely honored. I also had the honor and privilege of standing honor guard at my Uncle Laurens funeral. He was a combat Marine and served a tour in the Korean War. When he passed, he want a family member to stand honor guard if there was one serving.
The 2 most proudest moments of my time in service
I hope this comment finds you and all your loved ones safe and in good health.
@@darrenheadrick3669 Thank you for your Service and your family's service as well. Sir, may i ask if you by chance knew a Richard Michael Cox or just Richard Cox? He also went by Michael. The reason i ask is he was serving in panama around the mid to late 80's and is My Father. Thank you again Sir! God bless you and your family and Welcome Home!
-David Cox
@@daviddaddy
What Branch of service did he serve in?
@@darrenheadrick3669 He was in the U.S. Army. Im not sure of which battalion etc.
@@daviddaddy
I was stationed in Germany 85-87 and had a guy With the name Richard Cox, always went by Rick. I got into a couple if ither coos shit because they'd call him Dick even though he asked them not to, buy being new to the base he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
He was a pretty good cop too. Once he git his upgrade in skill level and figured out how to handle certain situations, he did pretty good. Lost track of him after I PCS'd back stateside to Florida 1st Special Ops. at Hurlburt Field.
My father often told me how Vietnam never left him as well. I'm thankful that he was able to go on a healing tour back to Vietnam back in 2001. In 2004 he went on another healing tour as a guide for his vet friends. I sadly lost my dad on Father's day 2016.
Thank you for your service sir!
I thank him for his service.
@@trashpanda2312 Sadly he died from his agent orange exposure
@@mystierayn1077 fuck... really sad to hear that.😢
@@trashpanda2312 Thank you. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him. I was always daddy's girl.
@@mystierayn1077 you still are.
True gentleman who is more impressed with the generosity being sent in his honor to a service organization. Thank you sir for your service..a fellow veteran USNAVY.86-91! God bless America 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service. No one who served is forgotten. Especially not within family of service members. Everyone of you are my heroes.
Amen
Vietnam vets are never forgotten by me! Or any other vets! Thank you to all vets!
You’ll never be forgotten for your service! I lost several friends in Viet Nam, and several came home scarred on the outside, inside, or both for life..God Bless you for finding some enjoyment after what you went through for us!🙏🏻
Vietnam veterans will never be forgotten, whatever people say about that conflict, soldiers obey orders, they are heroes and should be proud of their duty. From England UK.
I love that even after everything, the employee still calls the MGM President "Mr." . That is something unfortunate that we have lost over the last couple of decades, the respect.
I worked for my Father-in-Laws business for at least 6 months & always introduced people that wanted to meet him or talk to him as Mr. ____. He finally told me to stop it because I was part of his family as his new son-in-law. It's how we were raised back in the 50s 60s 70s.
As a young buck some would say, my rule is if they are your boss and don't stritctly tell you yo go by their first name you say Mr. Ms. or Mrs.
No sir, you will never be forgotten. I served with 'Nam vets and the knowledge they imparted kept me alive in two separate deployments. OooAaah!
You are never forgotten, Sir! Thank you for your bravery, Service & commitment! God bless you & all of our Veterans & Service Members!❣️🇺🇲🙏
A couple of fans and a football game. This guy deserves a promotion and a company car at the very least
I would have liked him to go back to Vietnam and see it now and maybe put some demons to bed 🇬🇧
You can contribute if you feel like it's not enough
You are Not forgotten!!!!! and Never will be!!!!
Never forgotten. Respect for your service
Thank you for your service and bravery as it continues
You are a hero . Thank you for being the man you are
Thanks for your service my dad served to and you’re not forgotten and neither is he!!!
THAT video (and others like it) brought me to tears on many levels. 1. Be and show respect towards elders. 2. Respect towards those who served and protected us who might have been forgotten. 3. Patients towards teaching and learning from others. 4. Always learning and growing to be a better self. 5. Be selfless towards others. 6. Be humble and thankful.
To this man Thank You For Your Service and God Bless my husband was Vietnam Vet and he use to have nightmares he’s better now God Bless all the Vietnam Veterans 🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your service you're a beautiful human being.
pitiful....he couldn't do any better than that?? A billion dollar company? And still look at what a beautiful soul that old man has...so grateful for what he did get
Nothing stopping you giving some money
Yes, I thought that, 5k is chump change to such a company.
@@layalaya9367 Is that kind?
You can contribute if you feel like it's not enough
YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN SIR!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR NATION!
I was not very old when Vietnam ended but I know that our veterans who returned home alive were treated very terrible and that is a damn shame. To all who served in Vietnam I want to thank you for your service to our great country.
I concur with your sentiment 100%
Australia.
Amen!!
Great soldiers but not so great country.
My late father is a Vietnam Vet and I remember him telling me and my brother when I was around 5, about when he came home in 1967 and was spit on and called a baby killer. A month after he got out of the Army, he joined the Navy. While in the Navy, he went back to Vietnam. He also said that when he came back to his hometown all the VFW's around here wanted him to join, but the one here in town didn't want Vietnam Vet's to join till the veterans from WWI and WWII were dying off. The VFW here in my town is more like a social club, that allows anyone that has a parent that was in any war to join.
You are our hero my respects you are not forgotten ❤️
He is definitely a hero thanks for his service
Very thankful and appreciative Vet.
Don is an amazing guy! Thank you for your service and you’re a prime example of humbleness
If he's 62 and he was in Vietnam. He would be 10 years old at the most
My grandfather served in Vietnam and honestly this man reminds me so much of him. He also always has a chipper attitude. He had to leave his pregnant wife at 18 to go fight a war he had no want or business being apart of and he came back and always had a smile on his face even though he got cancer from agent orange, and suffers from ptsd. These men are truly heros. And we don’t thank them enough for what they had to go through at such a ripe young age.
Much respect to the Vietnam War Veteran. Thank you for protecting me, my familyl, and all of our peers, for your service to this country. God Bless
Protect you from what! it was americans who went to vietnam and massacred civilians and even children and were responsible for over a million dead vietnamese, RESPECT to the vietnamese soldiers for protecting their families and all their peers from american agression
@@yausssecre8425 They went where they were told to go. They had no choice. I am sorry for all involved. War is never good!! I have respect for all. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.
I hope don is still there at the MGM, so I can go and say thank you for your service in person , I live in Las Vegas
and I want to shake a real heroes hands God bless you Don
I love that he was most appreciative of the donation to help fellow vets. True hero.
In Vietnam you did the very best you could with what you had at the time and you had orders not choices you did your job well and there's no reason for feeling guilt because you didn't have your free will at that time seeing you seen in the things you had to do or what you made you a very strong person thank you for your service sir I really appreciate my freedom that so many of you fought for and many of you died for every veteran and every service man and woman signed a blank check for their lives there's no shame there it was for my freedom that they signed that blank check so when I say thank you for your service I am thousands and thousands and millions of Americans thank you for doing something so gallantly may God bless you you are a hero
thank you undercover boss of MGM
3rd Batt. 7th Marines ChuLai,RVN 10/65-11/66
We owe so much to our Vietnam Vets, they were treated so horrible when they came back home.
For awhile you were forgotten. No more. Thanks for your service and you definitely are a hero. I love ou myself being a meteorologist (I went to Penn State). Hope you enjoyed the game.
Sir, you are not forgotten ❤ . Our soldiers coming home should have been greeted with open arms. Should have had a heroes welcome. I thought I was too young to take a stand and welcome y'all home; I wish that I had. Bless you and thank you for your service!!! Peace be with you
Thank you for your service sir.
Vietnam Vets will never be forgotten, God Bless Our Troops
This was so touching, I just lost it 😭. God bless our veterans!! What a great gift...Boomer Sooner!! 🇺🇲❤️🏈

I like him. A humble hero.
Thank you for your service! Thanks to the boss as well. Good people do exist
That man literally can change the vets life forever without even noticing it, and that’s all he does???
Greed is a planet killer.
What beautiful and humble man.
Thank you for your service brother.
I am from England, London, and I was in santa Monica in about 1984,ish, and was surprised to see a lot of Vietnam veterans sleeping rough. I used to go some small bar and saw a few of them in their playing pool. I don't know why I did it, but I bought them drinks all night. They thanked me for that and it just made me feel good. God bless em!!
Thank you for your service sir!
Thank you, Sir. You are a hero.
You will NEVER be forgotten, I thank you for your service
You are never forgotten . Thank you for your service !
You'll never be forgotten! We love you so much, God bless you!
Thank you sir for your service. God bless you and all of the men and women who have served and still serving today. Including my Dad Ray Spitzer US Army Pearl Harbor(discharged the day before the attack) and my Brother Dorian G Atwater US Army Viet Nam
No sir! No one forgets what you beave souls put yourselves through!
We're with you sir!
Much respect sir. My grandfather is a Vietnam veteran n I have the utmost respect for what y’all do.
You are a hero in and out!
You are not forgotten. You never will be. Thank you for your service Sir!
The reward was quite underwhelming, especially for a huge company like MGM
exactly
I concur. The $5,000 donation......from a Casino in Last Vegas!?
People who judge other people don't like themselves.
Ever thought about making an appointment for therapy?
@@nikifoertsch2405 Companies like MGM have absolutely massive balance sheets and have millions allocated each year for charities. Mostly for PR but also for the tax benefits, $5,000 is nothing for them. The box he gave for the football game will be worth more than that, and that isn't even tax deductible (entertainment). So no, $5,000 was not enough and I can judge any company I please. Source, CPA for big 4 who does these tax returns for a living.
@@nikifoertsch2405 you’re the problem, do you not realize you are a pawn in society. Keep buying off Amazon and supporting people like Jeff Bezos.
Two men with tremendous hearts, ♥️
Thank you for your service, respect, from Wales UK
Thank you for your service, sir.
Thank you for your service Sir. Enjoy the game with your brothers.
Have vents under the tables that suck the smoke away and under the players.
I hate to tell this lovely man, but not only will the service think he is a hero, but so do we because he is a hero. Thank you MGM president for treating this lovely man like the hero he is, even if i am not an American. Hugs from Scotland
You are a hero! Thank you for your service Donn!
You already are a hero buddy, I mean going through Vietnam is something I think most of us can barley handle. So we thank you hero!!
My uncle is also a Vietnam vet from Australia. This is touching. You are a hero sir. Thank you for your sacrifice. His father, my grandfather served in Kokoda and my great grandfather in WW2.
He deserved allot more!
Thank you for your service and great boss doing all that
thanks for ur service god bless u
You are a Hero
God Bless you for your service sir
Sir you are and always will be a Hero. Thank you for your service
You're not forgotten. You're a hero
Thank you for your service Don.
You ARE a hero. God bless you
Thank you for your service
Even if he was 10 years old?
Thank-you for your service.💞 Sr.!!!!!
Definitely a hero. Love to me that man one day. Great man!
5k for MGM president ? Wait... what ? Isn't he missing some zeros to thanks those vets ? That's crazy... :(
You will never be forgotten sir
Him saying " they're gonna think I'm a hero" really hurt because the fact that some people are riddled with guilt and trauma for their service and not getting the proper help for it
What if he is lying?
U already are hero my man u have been a hero for all those years this is just good karma coming back to a great person
They're gonna think you're a Hero? You already are My Friend. You've put your life on the line and served our Country. Something I could never do. I've tried and tried but I'm handicapped. GOD Bless your heart.
God bless that man, we all need to b a little more like him
What a nice man. Should’ve been rewarded with a lot more
You can contribute if you feel like it's not enough
You can contribute if you feel like it's not enough
We need more guys like this.
"They're gonna think I'm a hero..."
Sir, you ARE. What a LEGEND!
Maybe there should be a smoking and non-smoking area like in restaurants
smoking in casinos should be banned altogether
You are a hero!! 🇺🇸 despite what some Americans think of the Vietnam war. Thank you for your service sir!
Bro these videos I’m so happy I found this Chanel!
VIETNAM VETS ARE NEVER FORGOTTEN ...THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
“I feel like a hero.” He IS a hero!
