  • FOX31's Jeremy Hubbard travels to the old war zone in Vietnam and walks with veterans as they return to the battlefield for the first time in decades. It's a remarkable and powerful trip through the eyes of those whose lives were forever changed.

    “When you are feeling down, come to Ha Noi and have a bowl of Phở. You’ll be happy again,” said a Japanese who has been living in Vietnam for six years. It seems to be true to many people. That’s what my country is like, always warm and happy like home.

    Vietnam is a beautiful country, My brother was K.I.A Phuoc Thuy Province April 1971. He would write and tell me how lovely the country was and the locals. He worked alongside the American Task Forces and said what a fantastic bunch of men they were. They would swap stories about the U.S and Australia. It was one of his American friends that placed him on the Huey, just as he passed away. Respect to all!!

      I am a S.Korean. Many of our fathers and uncles came back S.Korea in body bags. But, American Vietnam vetrant's attitude is so impressive. They actually rebuilt diplomatic relations with Vietnam. Wrong decisions were made in U.S. policy level. U.S. soldiers who fought there were not to be blamed.

      Top gear deal: Probably what you don’t know, or seemingly care, is almost all of the veterans of Vietnam were drafted meaning they had no choice...go to war or go to jail. It wasn’t their war, but they had to fight it and it took it’s toll on many. If you were a Veteran, you would know this and have some feelings of respect for what the Vets go through for your FREEDOM. Next time you see a Vet, shake their hand and than them for their service and your freedom, this is my suggestion as a Veteran, Regain some self respect.
