  • Here is my annual tribute (2024) to our Vietnam Veterans. With each passing day, I am amazed on how much more I learn of what our Vietnam Veterans experienced then and now. This video is a collection of “my” Vietnam Veteran and his brothers with whom he fought and stood by & continues to stand by. Thank you for your service and Welcome Home 🇺🇸

    My husband passed away October 15, 2019, with non smoking lung cancer from having served in Vietnam. He had lived a healthy life but Agent Orange got him in the end. Interestingly enough he never had lung cancer issues, no coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath. Walking very fast 5 miles a day before breakfast, even after diagnosis and knowing the pain in the bones in his wrist was not arthritis as believed at first but was stage 4 lung cancer. He lived a year after diagnoses. Immunotherapy actually gave him 5 months -pain free- after having the wrist amputated that had given him so much pain, in the middle of that year, but when the pain returned it was with a vengeance.
    We enjoyed attending the high school sports games, when he passed the football team came dressed in their jerseys! Such an awesome tribute to my husband.
    He passed 46 years, 5 months and 4 days after our wedding day. And boy did we have fun along the way! We traveled to 6 of 7 continents, (did not make it to Africa together) 48 of the 50 states (did not make it to Tennessee nor South Carolina together. We had wanted to go to Vietnam together so he could experience the country with a cultural point of view and not worry about being shot at. It didn't happen but I was in Vietnam last month, March 2024. It was an amazing trip. I miss my American Soldier, my Vietnam Veteran Hero!
    P.S. VA did take care of my husband as they should have during his illness. And I do get a check from the VA now as a widow.

      My younger brother was a heavy alterarie gunner drafted into army age 18 . He was a wonderful man , I did what I could to help him get over the war. He died of cancer of stomach , the Drs at vet hospital lied and said he didn't have Asian orange . I still miss David and cry for him .my younger brother James was in Navy on a ship repair, he's alright, my older brother was drafted same time sent to Germany because he had 2 brothers in war .He tried to get sent to war and get David back to USA .the answer was no. I went to VA hospital Everytime he went he finally got on disability before he died

      Great respect to all those who were put through hell in that terrible war, but the one thing that discussed me is the way all those dogs were left behind after doing there service saving many troops lives, shame on the government of those days for not bringing them home, is there a memorial for those poor dog's, if not why not, they did there service along with everyone else who was out there, they should be remembered in your history and not forgotten, great respect from across the pond,

    Thank you for your annual tribute to Vietnam vets. I am a Vietnam vet, USMC 1963-70, SVN 67 and 68. Phu Bai Thua Thien Province. Also wrote a song as a tribute to all vets, peacetime and during wars of our past, like my father and uncles, who fought in World War Two. The song is “ Passing out red poppies,” and it is posted on my TH-cam channel. Best to all. God bless America. God bless our vets, young, old, deceased, and living.

    Nice job on the video! Even though its been 50+ years since our Vietnam Veterans came home, it is still nice to hear the "Welcome Home" and know that our veterans service was appreciated. Most veterans served honorably and sought only to make the world a better place for the people of Vietnam in spite of what the media proclaimed.
    Some service members never returned home alive. Those who did were ridiculed and reviled as warmongers and baby killers as if they were the ones who started the war. Some survivors came back so broken that they could not be fixed and succumed early to alcohol, drugs, suicides, automobile accidents and the ravishes of PTSD.
    Thank you for your support for our veterans.

    As a Brit born just after the second war I have appreciated the freedom I have had in my life. It is only now that we are living in these troubled that I really appreciate the sacrifices that were made for us. I have visited war graves in many countries and appreciate all those who helped us from the individuals to the countries. The memorials at Washington are the most poignant I have ever seen. I do believe that America still owns the troops who went to Vietnam a huge apology for their homecoming. Great respect to all who served and are serving.

    I too made a video as a tribute to all the Vietnam veterans. It is entitled "Galveston: A tribute to those who served in Vietnam" . I posted it on TH-cam 16 years ago. It is sung by Jimmy Webb. Jimmy wrote the song. I think Jimmy's version is a truer tribute than the version by Glen Campbell.

    That’s nice and I thank you, but why is it mostly about the Marines with just a few clips of Army and where is the Airforce and Navy? It’s always the same I’m a member of the VFW and mostly about the Marines they don’t even talk to us so I don’t even go to meetings. I guess if you have a petty uniform you always get center stage. USA 101 Airborne Pathfinder welcome home Navy and Airforce couldn’t have got the job done without you guys!

      I respect ALL branches. I started and still do these videos for my Marine and his brothers he served with the 311 Marines on a personal level. I’m not really sure how more veterans are viewing my videos but they welcomed too.
      One of my cousins was with the 101 Airborne & was KIA in ‘68. My other cousin was a Ranger. Cousin Ronnie was Navy. All branches served AND we can’t forget the women - especially the Army Nurses. Next year’s video will be more inclusive because my Marine’s Vietnam Support Group feels comfortable sharing their photos next year.
      Thank you for your comment. Thank you for your service and welcome home!
