Our custom is to laugh at everything, sometimes it is difficult to understand for those who do not understand the custom, in my opinion this is his triumphant laugh, " he would be dead " for sure ! by odd with his age, and what he did for the Americans, the Vietnamese communist health system only sponsored for their side, this old man was still the "enemy" side.
At least, he got to know that his family got a new house, his granddaughter managed to get her education. He got recognition, and he got to see the men who were with him many decades ago. That's priceless.
Pearl O'Brien I see what you’re trying to say but actually he was a South Vietnamese serviceman and in his mind he was fighting hard for his country and was helping the US Seals who in turn were the ones coming over to help his country. In the end his side lost, life has now moved on but Vietnam is now reunited and friends with the USA.
@@funlife4045 keep in mind off this is not a government pension, this is private citizens pulling some of their own money together to give him money for life. I promise you in Vietnam $300 goes a very long way. Plus they build him a house so he doesn't have to worry about mortgage or rent payments.
I speak as a retired 23-year member of the USAF, half of which was served in time of war. NOTHING brings you closer to another human being than serving together in combat. I'll die for you and I know you would die for me. Christ said no greater love than to lay your life down for a friend. AMEN
He just really brightened me up a bit all the bs we go through but this guy says I would have been dead and laughs and it was genuine people who have bright souls are beautiful
A very special reunion, no doubt in my mind. It was very thoughtful for the Navy SEALs to built him a house and provide him with a monthly income for life. That's what I call Brothers in Arms. 🙏
This video is just to remember the unappreciated army but the south Vietnam army is a great army my grandpa fought in the Vietnam war and he was an officer didn’t even get shot. He was in the prison camp for 10 years. He is South Vietnamese.
@@user-yu4bb6cs5e we lost because the damn Democrats took over Congress and cut funding to Aid the South Vietnamese military. Even as we were slashing funds down to nothing for South Vietnam the Soviet Union was pumping more and more military equipment into North Vietnam including some sophisticated high-tech Weaponry with tanks, artillery and missiles. With this lopsided military aid situation The South was doomed to lose.
@@tedmccarron You were right at everything you said. I was in the army in South Vietnam. Just before the fall of Saigon, we have to count every bullet we shoot, no more air support, no more artillery support because of no more aid from the US.
@@tubpct I'm so very sorry about that. Democrat politicians in the United States betrayed you guys. Were you able to get out of Vietnam before the end?
Many thanks to all of you, you gave more than we can ever repay! Our graritude is enormous, may you lives be satisfying, heathy and full of love from all of us who were able to live in peace because of what you all gave!
Pretty sure he was talking about what the SEALs did for Minh , not who fought in Vietnam. I am also pretty sure that he knows other countries fought in Vietnam, especially the French since they were the country that dragged the U.S. into that shitstorm in the first place because they wanted their Vietnamese colony back.
@@MinhPlus2 Glad you made it to the States. I'm guessing your parents fled during the fall of saigon. I hope you weren't one of the boat people of vietnam they really suffered during their journey. Didn't expect such a quick reply and you're very beautiful.
Achilles RodriguezXX thank you. The fast response is because I was on TH-cam already and it popped up on my notifications. I was not a boat person. My family couldn’t get out during the fall as my father was a southern soldier and when the north won he was put into a concentration camp for five years. So we did not come to the states till 1983
@@MinhPlus2 Wow thank you for taking your time to share your story. I'm surprised the government of vietnam would let your family leave Vietnam. Your dad must have been one hell of a soldier for the North to imprison him for 5 years. Even the interpreter only spent 2 years in the concentration camp.
Over 4 years later watching this. Very awesome and touching. What a great smile that Mr. Minh (sp?) has. Those SEALs giving him the respect he deserves. All good men doing good things. (Unrelated, but my dad was a "Seabee"---Mobile Construction Battalion, US Navy---in Vietnam.) Many thanks to all of these men for their service.
That's a combat hardened SEAL giving another man a kiss on the head. I think it's pretty clear Nguyen Hoang Minh went above and beyond,and these guys knew it. Also before some smart ass says SEALs are people too, I'm plenty aware thanks.
That's why I'd always have a deep admiration and respect for the Americans for their empathy and compassion.... GOD bless y'all for what you did to this man.....God bless y'all.
There is no word to describe all this love and everlasting happiness ... of the days of fighting for the protection of the free and democratic South Vietnam...

@@linhlinhhoang1770 The French were the ones who started the war by trying to continue their occupation when they should've left Vietnam then we Americans prolonged it. The so called communists simply wanted to be left alone. It was essentially an Asian civil war for independence after decades of colonialism. It wasn't a battle for control of the Free World. What are you telling me about the North and South Vietnamese for? The Viet Cong were essentially S. Vietnamese conducting a guerilla war in S. Vietnam. Then it evolved into a "proxy" war. Also Vietnam didn't need us to stop communism; they could've done it themselves. And I can’t help wondering how different Vietnam would be right now if America under Truman had done the morally correct thing! Again, Vietnam didn't have to be communist. It could've been independent and democratic without a war. If we had helped them become independent right after WW2 then the whole Vietnam war would've been avoided. You see, at the end of WWII Ho Chi Minh came to Truman and asked for his support in seeking Vietnamese independence from the French, and Truman basically brushed him off to support the French in their occupation! And it’s not like Ho Chi Minh just played Truman one visit and then went to Moscow! No, he really respected America and in fact he modeled the Vietnamese declaration of independence directly on the American one, and he was willing to have Vietnam under a democratic not communist government if we agreed to cooperate with him, and so he sent Truman numerous letters, which Truman chose to ignore in favor of supporting the French! Ok, France was our friend and all who backed our bid for independence, I get that, but France was wrong on this! And we as a self-proclaimed champion of freedom and justice were morally obligated to support the Vietnamese in their quest for independence and freedom! But it gets worse than all that. We turned our backs on the morally correct until Ho Chi Minh got support from the soviets! Then we decided to get involved on the premise that if South Vietnam fell to communism, then all of southeast Asia would follow! But as you can see, after we left and all of Vietnam became communist, that did not happen! So basically 58,000 Americans and several million Vietnamese died for nothing! To me that makes it the worst war! And I can’t help wondering how different Vietnam would be right now if America under Truman had done the morally correct thing! Also, many South Vietnamese felt they would have fought the war themselves without U.S. interference. Now I'm no fan of communism but it's none of our business whether Vietnam is communist or not. Besides, the South Vietnamese felt that they could fight the war themselves without American interference. All they needed was supplies and moral support, nothing more. As one former South Vietnamese officer stated, " We fought for our country with our best,” Vo said. “We didn’t need the Americans to do our job for us. We didn’t need the American GIs to come and fight for us. We needed money, supplies and international support.” And here's my source. www.mercurynews.com/2017/09/29/veterans-angry-disappointed-following-pbs-vietnam-war-documentary/ So yes we did invade their country. First the French. Then they tried to invade their country again and then we tried to invade their country and the Vietnamese were simply defending them.
God bless these guys, thank you so much for what you did I'm a Gulf War veteran and I served because of what y'all did my hats off to you and you are my heroes and the veterans of world War II and Korea thank you all!
6-14-2022 things are bad now going to get worse. BUT BUT this is one GREAT UPLIFTING STORY,,,,Such brave men! So happy that Minn lived to see these days over there.Thank you for lifting my sprits this morning with such an account of these Fine Brave Fighting Men.
Great on all of those men for never forgetting the man who helped them and found their cause noble. If not for the cause, then at least for their lives. He must have truly cared for each and every one of them.
Wow! Amazing story. Great that his brothers in arms supported him. $300 a month is life changing, but I think the reconnection is the best part. They have total respect for each other. Wonderful!
Awww, he's so cute. What a brave man! What a disaster, so many lives lost for the interests of a few people in a dark tower somewhere :(. My unfathomable gratitude for all the brave souls affected by this conflict.

I teared up when he said that. He says it so casually, yet it’s extremely profound.
He died peacefully in MyTho on 23 December 2019. He was 80 years old.

really wanna meet him to hear the stories of SEALs' fighting. God bless him!
Even more late and I feel the same way

what a great story! Those Navy Seals are good men. they do for that man what their country should do for them.
For rhose Seals, that interpreter is a Seal too. One of their own
@G P why after the war people turned their backs

am i the only one thinkin they actually found real life yoda?...
