Respect to all Vietnam veterans

[@martinoneal316]

This warms my heart that two old very special friends can find each other again... this is what makes this a great country... the daughter is special for aiding and abetting... the only people that I remember when i got home that weren't openly hostile or indifferent...yep my family... veterans get treated shabbily by the country they served...it ain't right....

@soxbearshwks8988... Thanks, you for your service and sacrifice during the Vietnam conflict and welcome home Sir. I dedicate these two songs from SSgt Barry Sadler 1966 record album "Ballad of the Green Beret." to you your fellow classmates and all of our Vietnam Vets. 🙏
"I'm a Lucky One"
SSgt Barry Sadler
I'm going home my tour is done.
I'm going home I'm a lucky one.
But I left friends behind me.
who won't come home no more.
Yes many friends remain forever.
On that bloody shore.
But at night when I sleep I know my dreams will be.
About my friends I left across the sea.
I'll hear verbal young men harn laugh again out loud.
We'll all be together in a happy crowd.
But then I hear the sound of bullets whining overhead.
Feel the crash of morters and all my firends are dead.
My friends they fought and gave their all.
My friends they died for freedoms call.
As my dream is ending they'll come and say goodbye.
Though I'm sound asleep a tear I'll cry
And they say something which fills my heart with pain.
Tell them about us Sadler don't let us die in vain.
I'm going home my tour is done.
I'm going home I'm a lucky one
"Salute to the Nurses"
SSgt Barry Sadler
After the battle after the fight
many owe their lives to the ladies and men in white
And all of the men in this war torn land
salute the nurses of Vietnam
They know the awful toll of war each day
they know more than any the price we pay
A soldier his hands too burned to write
a nurse takes down his words through the lonely night
They have gone to the front where men fought
in the night from Pleiku to Qui Nhon
where war these men fight
Many a wounded soldier pain is eased for a while
by opening his eyes to see a nurses smile
To each of the wounded on the operating shelf
these nurses give a part of themselves
I know every soldier to the last man will
sometimes say a prayer for the nurses of Vietnam
After the battle after the fight
many owe their lives to the ladies and men in white
And all of the men in this war torn land
salute the nurses of Vietnam
