The Wall Song

I’m a Vietnam Veteran. I told another Vietnam Veteran “Welcome Home” once, he burst into tears and simply said “FINALLY” 🎖💜♠️🪖🇺🇸

i come from a very long line of military men...and women......my grandfathers fought for this country and then they fought again...in wwI...wwII and now our sons are fighting again...we are native americans and we are still here....and we respect the dead warriors always..and the living...

Those who disrespect the American flag, have never been handed a folded one.🪖🇺🇸

I am from Germany. The american soldiers are my heroes, especially world war II and Vietnam. God bless America!

Nam Vet 1971. I'm a old man at 71 years young. It took me until 2015 before I could bring myself to go to the wall. I went there with several friends, but when we got there, I told them I wanted to do this by my self. I have two friends there. This was one of the hardest things, I have ever done in my life. Now I wish I would have done this sooner. Let the tears fall where they may. Lee........

I saw the wall Oct 2023. I can't begin to explain the feeling I had standing there. I could have been on the wall but God brought me home. Thank you God

To all of the Vietnam Veterans who served in Vietnam . Thank you from the bottom of my heart , The United States of America, and The World has a debth of gratituted that we can never pay back. Thank you.

God Bless All who served. Forget the "politics" and the insanity of the war and just remember that all those young men were serving their country. God Bless them ALL!

I took my dad to The Wall in Oct 2012. It was his wish since returning from Vietnam to visit the wall. He layed a wreath at the base for his cousin who died there. As we walked away I had him turn around and watch as the people who were passing by stopped and read his wreath - looked at the picture of his cousin within the wreath. I told him: More than just you will be remembering him today dad. RIP Danny Crothers you are not forgotten

I am 74 years now...first time at the Wall. could not get close... just stared and with tears in my eyes I finally walked away, second time I also counted 14 friends that I will never forget... two these friends died in my arms... all my tears are for the 58K+ I still feel the pain...

Hi. I am 12 and I just wanted to say thank you who served and died for my country.

I hold the Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts, and the Combat Infantryman's Badge from Vietnam. The saddest sight at the Wall has to be the "Tree Vets," those soldiers who come so close to the names of their buddies that they reach the trees at the edge of the Memorial, then find themselves unable to continue on to the Wall itself. So many of us still have yet to even begin the journey. God bless them all.--Tom Reilly

Thank you all who have served in the past and are serving in the present

Thank you for this thoughtful song. My cousin is on the wall. I remember the day he left for Vietnam, the day we found out he had been killed and the day of his funeral. I was only 12 at the time. He had always been good to me even though I was just a kid. When we met as a family after the funeral, I also remember looking into the crib to see the infant son he never got to meet and being sad he would never see his awesome Dad. Today I remembered Ronald Lowe and the sacrifice he so willingly made.

I'm an Aussie Vietnam Vet and I wrote a few poems about Vietnam. One of them is The Wall dedicated to that black granite wall with all those names on it. You did your duty, rest in peace my fallen American brothers.

Grandpa fought in Vietnam, he was a CH-46 pilot he saw so much death and devastation, he would never hesitate to fly into the heat of battle and help his brothers in arms. I thank all of the veterans that have fought for our freedom.

my husband was a Marine in Viet Nam, he was a very decorated man, sharp shooter, recon. and saw and lived more then most could ever imagine. We had a chance to go to a reunion back in 1998 in Washington, It was the first time he had seen any of the men who were over there with him , he didnt know if they had made it back or not. We all went on a trip to the wall.. and I tell you the emotions were over whelming. You could feel the spirits of many of the men and women who's names are on that wall. Its a experience I'll never forget, and one my husband took to his grave with him.. as he couldn't handle the ghosts that haunted him on a daily basis and committed suicide in 2000.. So you see my heart goes out to all service men and women.. God Bless. and of course Semper Fi

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13

On behalf of myself, Mitch and Brad thank you so much If you are a veteran thank you and welcome home

God be with you all my brothers. I came home to a disrespectful nation and I still think of you every day
