2018 National Memorial Day Concert | SGT Bill Rider 

I cry when I hear these stories; I have so much admiration and respect for all veterans, my brother made it home from Vietnam, but never ever talked about his tour. Today, I understand why.

Army Vet 65 t o 67. Never served in country. This brings tears to my eyes. Thank you SGT Rider. God Bless you and what you did. Our cause was just.

Bless you Graham Greene. May you know how much your words are cherished. My son and I have PTSD. You are the only person I've ever heard speak truth about trauma. May you be most blessed. Won't forget you. Miyutake oyasin. Wah do

I have always admired Graham Greene (kicking bird) He is a very fine actor.

As an Air Force Nurse @Tachikawa AFB, Japan during VietNam war & had the honor of caring for some KheSahn Marines. They taught me that they truly are the best - "go take care of my buddy" !. Now an old lady I am in cold chills & tears watching this incredible video.

The memories and nightmares never go away.

Love this man! And George P. Benevidez! Both give us such powerful words.

Thank you for telling this soldiers story and even as an actor , you felt the emotions . Thank you for taking the time , for it means so much . Never forget the ones that have fallen and the ones in the shadows .

That must have been so hard to share considering what a private person he is. I had no idea he was a Vietnam vet much less in charge of troops. I had no idea he spent time in Columbus, Ohio ( I'm from Akron) or that he was a narcotics agent for a while. I'm so proud of him and all our veterans. I would love to shake his hand and say thank you. The world is better because you were here. Much love, Mr. Greene. Hugs from Ohio.

For us that have seen war, never stop seeing it.

THANK YOU SGT BILL RIDER FOR YOU BEING THERE, AND I KNOW YOU CAN NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU GONE THROUGH, YOUR ARE STRONGER. AND THE MEN YOU LEAD WILL BE WATCHING OUT FOR YOU FROM THE HEAVENS

Thank you so much

My generation guys were also pretty damn great. Thanks Sarge for sharing your heart with us.

God bless you and Thank You

Quis Separabit a true man doesn't go to war because he hates what's Infront of them but his love of what's behind him

Amen!

We're only here for a short time. Bad things happen. To some more than others. Please please talk with about anything that troubles you. See a Vet. Talk to a Vet.

God Bless you all

You have to learn to live with your life. Your brain is not stronger than your spirit. I refuse to be a victim of my life

You know if Robin Williams had been at these events that would have completed the show......
