I Adress all men with young man, and it's funny, cause I've been doing it for years, and when someone is older then you, and you say that to them, it certainly cheers them up.
I work retail, and my coworker is in his 50's himself. He knows a LOT of people. A lot of older genntalmen. He always says "How's it going young man!" And they're in their 70-80's. I giggle every time. I absolutely love it. Lol!!!
My dad was killed over there in 69. He was a CO and in the last twenty five years I have grown close to several of his men. They are the best of the best and I thank God everyday they made it home and are a big part in my life !
Alexander Supertramp Yes, his father died an honorable death and deserves a lot of honor. But, the Vietnamese wouldn’t stand a chance having to go over the ocean to America. And we shouldn’t have been in the Vietnam war, it was useless cause.
@Tennessee outlaw humans neurologically are identical. There's no difference in "beings" humans are emotional beings, not just women. Normally I don't go around white knighting either, but your statement about human nature was so vastly wrong I just had to say something.
Yes it's quite rare to have those kind of people in your life that you lose for some time and after you meet again you just pick up the conversation where you left off.
My great uncle was a Vietnam vet he doesn’t like to talk about it, my aunt told me when he came home, he had really bad trench foot so much so he couldn’t walk coming off the plane on a wheelchair and all the spectators spat on him. Because the media was spreading lies saying our soldiers were were killing women a children. she stood there in horror and he wheeled himself to her covered in spit. I cried when she told me that story, I hugged him so hard after she told me that story he’s now 83. God bless our veterans
So glad you made it home ! My brother did 2 tours . He didn't know when he was coming home. I was eating breakfast at the kitchen table, and heard a knock on the back door ! There he was ...the best day ever ! Mom cried tears of joy ! We called Dad at work. He was a mechanic repairing trolley cars ! The guys at work said he flew out of pit , and raced to the phone ! He must've broken land speed records driving home ! I think it's the only time didn't get upset with him for wearing his greasy clothes in the house ! I wish his return home was as wonderful ! Of course we didn't know my brother had a similar experience at the airport out west . Thank for his service, and give him big hug ! The Vets deserve our respect, and gratitude !
insertnamehere I’m from California and a few years ago my wife and a few friends decided to take a trip to the Midwest. We flew into Minneapolis rented a van and off we went. I was a bit hesitant seeing as how I’m Mexican American and our friends are Japanese American you know you here things. However I’m 52 and know that you need to experience things for yourself before judging. I’m a very social person so making friends has never been an issue for me. I tell you what we had the time of our lives and met some great people and ate some great food along the way. We couldn’t believe the hospitality. One time in particular we went into a sport bar of some kind and the place was packed due to a football game that was on but the people in the place made room for us and let’s just say we had more than one spotted cow with them hahaha. Once the game was over most of the people left but the staff made sure we felt at home and they upgraded our table without even asking. It was like that the whole trip. Some of the best people I’v ever met! God bless you all and a big thank you!
I worked in construction for about 30 yrs.. when two real men hug .. its powerful.. i love these guys and a big thank you to teds daughter for making this happen. Bravo girl!! :)
As a teenager(13) I use to wake up in the middle of the night to my father screaming vietnamese phrases at my mother, who would come running in my bedroom where my 2 sister's & I had our bunkbeds. I remember having to hit my father repeatly with the guard from top of the ladder. My mother crying & us all petrified just trying to survive another night of this madness. My father never said a word of things that had happened to him. Then 35 yrs later, long after he was gone, my mother had told me about a time when the whole squad my father was in, was wiped out except for him & another soldier. My father was master sgt. at the time & it was his squad. So I guess the guilt of a horrible thing, in a horrible war, took my dad away from me. Oh my father returned but my dad was left over in Vietnam.
My grandmothers generation had WW2 vets. My moms generation had Vietnam vets. I’m happy to have them in my family. I am proud to have family that served our country and that had the blessing to talk to these men. My great grandfather and his brother served in the Second World War. Sadly they are gone but I’m happy I got to meet and talk to them. God bless America
Our forgotten warriors. God bless their souls. Came back to an ungrateful nation, but they are the first to welcome home our current warriors at airports. Semper Fi.
My best friend after 35 years found me and we talked on the phone. He was in Missouri and I was in California. We cried as most of you know can happen..He thanked me for saving his life and when we touched base the next day, he found out I was a conservative and hung up..That is what politics has done to this country...Vietnam, 68-69. Sad story of our country.
Once a Vet, always a Vet, no matter if it was Vietnam. These men didn’t choose to go there. If anyone should be angry with that war, be angry with your war loving politicians who started that war. It was a real shame the way Vietnam vets were treated.
I cant imagine what these guys went through. I feel so bad they had to witness war. You gentlemen, are true heros in my book and I appreciate everything you did for our country.
2 legends...........I wish they had filmed more of them talking.....It is funny I was with my father when he was reunited with a high school buddy after about 40 years or so.....I could tell they were both a little freaked out at first because they were both old men and the last time they saw each other they had been young...I kind of got that feeling here too watching them at first at their first meeting....
God bless these soldiers!! I turned 19 in Iraq. I then turned 21 in Afghanistan. My battles are the closest friends I have ever had. Closer to them then my own family.
I served in the 1st Infantry Division like this veteran. In the past few years I have been in letter contact with my favorite squad mate Dwight. We were in Lima Platoon, A Co., 1/26th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division. In1966-1967. Our friendship is steadfast over all the years.
Ran into a old buddy from basic training at the Court House a few yrs ago and we looked at each other and then i yelled HOOAH and she hollered back and we both started to laugh and the memories flooded out. We both went to ARMY MP training after basic and so funny to meet again in my state much less in my small town👍🏻 Thank you for posting this with the young man and his mentor! 🇺🇸👍🏻🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️
I served 8 years in the USMC 1986- 1994 all 8 years with my best friend from California. We went through 4 different units together he is always like a brother to me. Thank you for your service sir
Last October I went to my Air Reunion and saw friends I hadn’t seen in 31 years. We picked up just like it was yesterday again. I am happy these two buddies found each other again.
Awesome job to the daughter who brought them back together, rekindled the fire and desire to make life happier and fulfilling for both them and their families, Thankyou both for serving.
There’s something so beautiful about these two men finally having the time and peace to not think about the horrors of war, but embrace the good old times of a wonderful friendship
All these protestors and rioters just think they're tough, those 2 guys had more fortitude in their pinky toe than all these new kids combined! Respect!
Yet I’m sure you support the draft dodging coward. You realize those people are merely exercising their Constitutional rights to which these men fought for? To which my brothers and sisters fight for to this day? Grouping rioters and protestors in to one category does nothing but push our “President””s authoritarian agenda, don’t get it twisted. If you are a true supporter in the ideals these men fought for, you would be on the side of the protestors-not the man trying to stifle our rights.
Being today is memorial day, I want to take time to remember my uncle David. Just 2 weeks ago was the 51st anniversary of him being k.i.a. on forward patrol outside of a base on the northern corner of the line.
My grandpa was in The army and was in Vietnam. He never wanted to talk about his experience until a little before he passed. He told me a few wild stories but I knew he had more that stuck with him that haunted him. He was a great man and will be missed.
2:17 that what she said people. Is why they have not tried to find each other. To many bad and sad storys. Imagen how many friends lost in front of you. All the bad things u can imagen. If you would meet someone from that time, it can go both ways. Good and bad i would say. Glad they could meet.
I thank god I still can see my grandfather in 2020 he was a Vietnam gunman on helicopters his stories are amazing but it’s sad my grandma said he hasn’t been the same since and he’s usally only smiling when my mom or siblings are around him ❤️💯

I was there when my father met a buddy of his from vietnam, 45 years (at the time) and he never seen or heard from anyone since. It was a shock to see my dad snap back into acting like a 20 year old again. Attitude, vocabulary, lingo and energy all came back that day. His buddy Ernie starts telling my brother and I stories about my dad and the local women and ofcorse my dad shuts him up right away but when he left to use the restroom Ernie ofcorse told us everything hahaha my dad and I are the only 2 army infantrymen in the family and after I earned my blue cord I noticed he opened up alot more to me about vietnam
Love dat moment on 3:58.Just two old guys standing in the middle of yard drinking beer , laughing some old guys' jokes and sharing memories about war that was long time ago.Lovely,like in movies
Bravery, Honor, Respect! This is what true Americans look like. these “boys” rioting, looting, causing chaos will never know what it’s like to be a real man, like these two gentlemen. Much respect to you both, thank you for your service, and fighting for our country!
What they gave us ,such freedom we have because of all our vets ,I'm lucky to have been born in the us so blessed we all are , thanks a bunch from my heart Thomas m Kenyon lake George NY
Thank you. My father past b4 I got to know him; but I'm sure he had friends like these that helped him return home. Neither I, or my family would exist if not. So I can, & will say thank you.

His buddy Ernie starts telling my brother and I stories about my dad and the local women and ofcorse my dad shuts him up right away but when he left to use the restroom Ernie ofcorse told us everything hahaha my dad and I are the only 2 army infantrymen in the family and after I earned my blue cord I noticed he opened up alot more to me about vietnam
Very nice story. Thank you two young men for your service!!!😁 And God bless all of you hear and beyond 🙏😇😇
Glad his daughter trusted her intuition! What a gift,to see each other again!
Love dat moment on 3:58.Just two old guys standing in the middle of yard drinking beer , laughing some old guys' jokes and sharing memories about war that was long time ago.Lovely,like in movies
Absolutely heartwarming
Bravery, Honor, Respect! This is what true Americans look like. these “boys” rioting, looting, causing chaos will never know what it’s like to be a real man, like these two gentlemen. Much respect to you both, thank you for your service, and fighting for our country!
not for rioting but there was no honor in Vietnam and many "real men" exist outside of Vietnam vets
He was opening the door before the car was even stopped. That’s true brotherhood!
