I sit here listening to this awesome awesome playlist and I made. The mistake of reading all your comments and I started crying uncontrollably and shaking. It really fucking up I feel so guilty for not being able to go over there to go my share I got a.

Amy Faber prieš 1 mėnesį I Thank All VIETNAM Soldiers. I lost family members and the one's who came back are still fighting. Thanks to All VETERANS. Without them I would not have my FREEDOM.

Joe Vreeland prieš 2 mėnesius "Goin' Home" by The Stones was what kept me sane for the time I was in Hostile Fire Zones. If I had it to do all over again - I wouldn't, so don't thank me for services rendered. I enlisted from a 1-Y draft deferment and that was a big mistake. They told us to not hitchhike in uniform since there were a lot of crazy people who'd try to hurt us. Got called "Baby Killers" and things YT won't permit here. I saw things I cannot forget in a dozen lifetimes. Many of my buddies came back, comatose for the things they did and saw. Dead eyes where they once sparkled and had had a sense of awe and mystery - now just black holes - nobody home. And we were the "good guys". How'd the bad guys do? No-one says. They told us we were fighting for "God & Country". Yeah? - WHICH god and WHICH country?

Angel Dust prieš 3 dienas Hello people. If you are here you like good quality music. But you already know that

Marcia Tolomeo prieš 3 mėnesius As a child of the 60's..... I brag... But now I know what an incredibly awful time it was... There was no free love, there was the draft, there was Civil Rights, the fight against an undeclared war. I am the widow of a Vietnam Vet and my children have no father.....but Robert was a Purple Heart recipriant .... And the undoing of the Capitol would've killed him. BUT .... We Loved This Music thank you

Stephen Robinson prieš 4 mėnesius As I was still a young child during the Vietnam war born 65, my memories of it as much as this country reported it were quite slim, but the music formed my life in the emotions so much of it brings. However the youth of that time was far more political than the youth of today, certainly more militant to my mind and the man far more wise and sophisticated and very insidious and has huge control on the dissemination of information I often have great fears for the future, thankfully life is short and all things pass but the music lives on and that's cool

M. C. Chamberlain prieš 4 mėnesius Personally, I was shocked that people treated the soldiers sent to Vietnam as they did. Most of them were drafted and really didn't want to go in the first place. They did their duty and I thank them for fighting for our country. In 1966 my family and I had returned to the states from spending a tour in Germany. I had just graduated from high school at the time. My boyfriend had just gotten drafted to go to Bien Hoi. I heard so much from him and what he went through. My Dad had served in WWII as a B17 pilot and when he got back, everyone praised him. So I just don't understand...... I figure if you didn't have to go through what they had to deal with, then you shouldn't judge them.

Alison Weaver prieš 1 mėnesį I graduated from high school in 1968, and this was such an "on-point" song, considering the time-and-space we were in. The war was hard for me in that I'd always been a pacifist; knew many guys who tried to avoid the draft - most were unsuccessful because they didn't have money for lawyers. My brother-in-law went "underground," and my old man drew a high number in the 1st Draft Lottery (in the 300s), that proved to him never being called up. I lost many friends to the "war," with some of them well enough to come home, but psychologically damaged - did we even know about PTSD back then? To all my brothers and sisters, I wish good health and peace, whether you served in the military or not. Love and Peace to you.

whoopdeedoo prieš 1 mėnesį (redaguota) I remember one time in church the pastor asked if anyone had anything they wanted to share. A Vietnam Vet stood and said a few words, I don't recall what about but I remember another man stood up and said that during the Vietnam war he was very cruel to the soldiers, spit and yelled at them. He wanted to tell the Vet that he was very sorry for how he treated them. He started crying and the Vet actually walked over to him and gave him a hug. It was an intense and poignant moment for an 11 year old to witness and has stuck with me for over 20 years.

Autoworld Corporation prieš 6 mėnesius Listening to your music selection I can have long lost memories come to mind. For years in the 60's and early 70's I was plagued with flashbacks. I slept with a knife under my pillow at night sometimes. Those flashbacks took YEARS to subside....but they do! So anyone coming home from any action you've had to endure......Hang in there it finally leaves your mind just get out there and make NEW better memories!!!!

Richard Olson prieš 2 mėnesius The first military advisors were sent in 1961,The year i started kindergarten. I graduated high school in 1974.a good friend i went to school with got to do one of the last tours in Vietnam. He wasn't the same kid I new back in school. Thanks to all veterans.

Thomas Schneider prieš 5 dienas My Dad was in Nam. Not sure what troop or battallion he was in. Just that he was in the army. Because of that War, I never got to meet him. He died over there. So I SALUTE you that served with him. I lost him and his side of my family. So Dad, if you can hear these songs, I dedicate them to you and all your Buddies. I keep most of them downloaded on my phone and keep them alive

Fred Akins prieš 1 mėnesį I was in a Helicopter Training Squadron (HS-10) in Imperial Beach California during many of the Vietnam years, these songs bring back many memories of lost friends who left our squadron to other squadrons heading to Nam, most of them I have never seen again...

Louis Cerny prieš 3 mėnesius I was just a bit past draft age then. Many of my family did serve there. There's something different in their eyes when soldiers like them come home. It's something profound. It was like they aged well beyond their years. Sometimes they appeared to be thousands of miles away while they were right there with you. You could tell someone who served very easily. They all had that same look in there eyes. When my son at age 19, returned with some of his comrades from Afghanistan , he had the same look in his eyes. Many many thanks for your Service. All of you.

elegbaschild prieš 2 mėnesius (redaguota) My Dad and two Uncles fought in Vietnam. Between the three of them, I only know one story from one Uncle. And that story is absolutely horrifying. It's the stuff of nightmares. I won't repeat it here. My Dad and other Uncle flatly refuse to talk about their experiences. I love American History. When I was a teenager I pestered and pestered my Dad to take me to Washington DC. Once we got there, I insisted we visit all the monuments, including the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. I could tell he was hesitant; but he didn't want to disappoint me. When we got there, it was the one and only time in my entire life I saw my 6'5" 250 pound Dad cry and I'm almost fifty years old. He cried and he cried hard. At that very moment, I saw my Dad in a completely different light. He was much more than just my Dad. I realized he was almost his age when he got dropped off in the middle of the jungle to fight. As much as I read about the Vietnam War; I could never, ever come close to imagining his experiences there. It isn't much in the grand scheme of things, but I offer respect and my heartfelt thanks to Vietnam vets.
