  • I am South Vietnamese, and I am very thankful those who protect peace in South Vietnam where my grandma and grandpa lived.
  • My Dad retired from the US Navy. He served as a Combat Medic during Vietnam. God bless our Veterans.
  • Today is National Vietnam Veterans Day. I always say, they didn't get what they deserved, and they didn't deserve what they got. Thank each and every one of you. I hope to accompany my brother soon on an Honor Flight.
  • These men and women were done so wrong they deserve so much love and respect and acknowledged as true HEROS!!

    This are the real Americans capable of dying for America, Liberties and Freedom. I wish Politicians learn from this group of courageous Americans

    I am teaching my son that if we come upon a Veteran, no matter what war or service, he tells them Thank You For Your Service!! I see the sacrifices that families make not just the soldier!! We thank them and their families and honor them where ever they are!! GOD BLESS YOU!!! We Will always remember!!!
  • As a Vietnam vet I can't tell you how much I appreciate a thanks for my service. Also when my brother vets say welcome home it makes me extremely proud of my service
  • I usually view the media as talking heads, but Lisa Boothe was truly moved by the experience. Thank you.
  • Thank you so very much from each and every one of you Vietnam Veterans. God bless you and much thanks and gratitude for your service. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸. Myself, my older brother and my dad are all AF veterans.
  • The honor flight network needs more attention, please send these vets to DC, time is limited. They are all heroes and we need to pay back
  • This was a very moving story. I wish we could have given my father this level of tribute. He was a US Marine pilot in WWII, Pacific theater. I hope to see him and my mother again. Thank you for sharing this moment with us.
  • Thanks to all that served in Vietnam; and the wives and kids that endured their father being deployed when you are a 7 year old military dependent.  Dad made $78 a month in 1965, in 1977 I made $192 a month, when I got out in 1980 I was making $375 a month as a sergeant in the united states army, went into the active reserves and got out in 1984. :)
  • I returned in 1971. I was treated very well, even in San Francisco, where I left from the airport to return to Savannah, GA. No problems. People were very nice.
  • I spent 21 years in the Army Special Operations Community and a few of my instructors were Vietnam Veterans. These guys are top notch and I love each of them and appreciate every bit of knowledge that they passed on to me.
  • Thank you veterans 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
