Annual Tribute (2024) to our Vietnam Veterans for National Vietnam Veterans Day

I was of the Vietnam generation, had a draft card but also got a letter saying I didn't have to report as they were stopping the draft. Didn't report and wound up going in a few years later. Served with quite a few Nam vets one guy was even Korea & Nam. They were all a great group of people and I feel privileged to have worked with them & learned from them. I guess all I can say now is a very, very, very, long overdue WELCOME HOME to all the Nam vets. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!

My husband was a VN veteran. (1968-69) I lost him last year after suffering 3 strokes and congestive heart failure. He was proud to have served his country and never complained about his struggles over the years. I am so proud of him and miss him terribly.❤ God Bless all Veterans.

I would like to thank the men and women who served in the Vietnam War

Welcome Home all my Brothers and Sisters who served and made it home. RIP to those who did not.

🫡🫡🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 From one Vet to all Vietnam Veterans—Welcome Home and Thank You Each And Every One!!

Vietnam Vet that didn't run off to Canada nor miss being called a Baby Killer and the spit even from my , what used to be friends but no more. My best friends and brothers and sisters have a beautiful name on a huge Granite wall that was not made for Cowards but the bravest kids this country could get. We gave our all so you could be free.

I've yet to see a tribute to all the dog's that went to Vietnam and saved many troops those dogs should also be rembererd and not forgotten after all they were classed as military,😮

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.

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.

God bless all of our amazing service members. America owes all of you a debt that we can never repay. Thank you from the absolute bottom of my heart.

God bless 🙏 all the Vietnam veterans ❤ my brother served there in 1971.

My cousin Roberts lynn gorum ,thank you for sacrifice ,miss you cousin.

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 YouTube channel. Best to all. God bless America. God bless our vets, young, old, deceased, and living.

I am German. But I think Vietnam Veterans are real heroes. Respect! I visited the memorial in Washington. I was deeply impressed. America? SIMPLY GREAT!

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. Marine Wife, Jane Stuewe Gardner

My daughter is the daughter of a Vietnam Veteran, proud of him
