6 wounded soldiers return home 

The soldier who came walking proudly in - on two artificial legs. How on earth can we pay him back for his service to our country? We can't. Such sacrifice. Thank you, all of you, for your dedication, service and keeping America safe.

They give everything, and ask for nothing. Respect is earned, they have mine. Thank you.

I'm English and the one thing I love about Americans is their patriotism. It's phenomenal how they support their soldiers. Everything I see videos like this I'm in awe

I cried for the Vietnam veterans that never got the welcome home they deserved

Flipp'n beautiful. I can only hope we thank all our soldiers and veterans. Please let us all remember to thank the Viet Nam veterans. None of them got a recption like this. God bless all our veterans!

Them coming home is just the beginning of their battle. May loved ones, friends and neighbors, and the hands of God help them though whatever comes next. We will always pray for the safety of our brothers and sisters who serve courageously for our daily freedoms

Nobody can ever show veterans, soldiers and wounded soldiers enough respect. The deserve infinite respect.

This is so beautiful to watch

The life of a soldier is a lonely one away from home family friends love ones to serve our great country God bless each and every one of them.

When I came back wounded from Vietnam, our flight was greeted by war protesters and news crews in the night ... even after over 50 years, I will never forget those vile hateful people ... some young officer came on board and told us; "not to speak to any of the reporters as we disembarked from the aircraft" ... welcome home! I'm glad some people made this effort those men.

I’ve been in Dallas-Fort Worth to see hundreds greet a regular rotation of troops coming home and leaving. It’s extremely emotionall.

Forge about football, baseball player, THESE are the true hero’s,brave 18 and 19 yr olds volunteering to protect us from bad people

HONOR AND RESPECT AND KINDNESS And GRATEFULNESS ALWAYS AND ONLY

I'm active us army. Combat medic. I'm a female27 . For the guy that said he'd wish they died?? Go to hell. You have no clue what it's like, or the shit Iive seen, including taking care of a guy that lost his leg. So have a heart. Seriously. We pray for people like you. Enjoy your family! I can't ill be deployed for 11 months! In September!

It always amazes me how generous of spirit the American people can be. I served 22 years in another country's Army, i happened to be visiting relatives in Texas and went out for a run wearing my favourite grey running t-shirt with 'ARMY' written on it. While i was out, a pickup passed me, u-turned and came up behind me. Now having just returned from Afghanistan, my 'flight or fight' bell was ringing loudly. The driver was a former member of the 82nd Airborne and just wanted to know with who i was serving, when he found out i wasn't American, and who in town i as related to, he wished me well and drove off. That night 15 pick-ups arrived outside my relatives house, they insisted my family and i accompany them to the local college fooball (not soccer) game, seats had been reserved and afterwards i was guest of honour at a barbecue, and i never bought a drink the entire rest of my stay. I didn't know any of these people, yet i was shown more respect than i felt i deserved. In my own country i have been spat at and called a baby killer.....its a very strange world!

God Bless them one and all I am so proud of all our brave military men and women they are Heroes to me now and forever Thank you for your service 🇺🇲❤

The thing that worries me the most is if they regret, regretting in a fragile moment is so easy. Imagine living with regret and face it every day in the mirror or its incapacity. I think seeing people's respect can give a helping hand in confidence of their sacrifice and bravery. God bless

The Guy with the missing legs literally made me cry

How can 289 people give a thumbs down? Like my old Sergeant Major once said, “Unless you’ve worn the boots, you can’t fully understand.”

I graduated high school in 1968, I was 17. The Vietnam draft was in it's heyday. I tried to volunteer. Being a female with a heart issue I was denied. I was angry! I felt if they would draft most of my male classmates why was I not allowed to volunteer. A few years later I became a flight attendant with a major US based carrier. In my 51yr career some of my most treasured memories are also the most painful. Among antiwar characters (Jane Fonda included, to this day I refuse to watch any show or movie that includes her!), that were calling those that keep our country free 'baby-killers' - some were protesting in airports. I volunteered to work flights carrying soldiers to their last US stop en route to Vietnam and transport returning soldiers from their first US landing to a large connecting airport. Those returning were understandably concerned about being pelted by rocks while being called 'baby-killers'. Many refused to make eye contact. I made it a point to hug each and every soldier. At first most would flinch but I could feel their muscles relax. After all they had endured I cannot fathom their inner turmoil. For the soldiers shipping out I brought my crappy camera. I would offer any soldiers interested in having a pix of them on their last US flight sent to family that opportunity. Of course film had to be developed and I had to pair the name/address with the # on the roll of developed film. I mailed the picture and a short note stating I had the honor of working a specific flight on a specific date that transported their child. Not necessarily a big deal but I have always written letters so it seemed 'right'. I heard from a few dozen recipients. I recall five notes that stated that was their last photo of their son, sadly they passed in Vietnam. I cried for days, I felt absolutely lousy about my decision to send the photos. My dear departed Mother made a valid point - she said 'as sad as you feel can you imagine how devastated their loved ones must feel?'. Well duh! So I continued sending photos. Sadly years ago a fire destroyed the film and notes. It would be touching to revisit those photos. I strongly feel if you do not believe the USA is the finest country to live in and if you do not believe our 'all volunteer' military is constantly and diligently working to keep us free PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LEAVE!!! AND NEVER RETURN!!!!!!!!!!! Our military can focus on protecting those that appreciate and deserve their protection.

thank you for ur sacrifice sir,thank you for keeping the world safe

Tha poor man lost both his legs. :(

When I came home Jan. 1969 from Vietnam was scared to wear my uniform-cause of people shooting some. So were had heard.

We learned many things from our Mistakes in Vietnam, and i am so glad this was one of them!

Thank you❤️️ I love you all for what you've done for what you sacrificed.

Proud on Americans

This is really what America’s about. Supporting our veterans and honoring them for their duties to our counties ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

Well done America !! This is the one big thing I admire about your country !! Your respect for your military is above and beyond !!

writing with tears in my eyes...welcome home brothers... honorful greetings from germany chris

I cried.

God Bless these brave men and women

These guys get major respect from this veteran.

God bless you all, but im dizzy watching this video

i remember my flight i was on a united flight and i had originally had 1st class which was all booked and saw a female coastal guard whom had one leg amputated and offered her my seat. i could always do first class for a flight but giving her that seat made me feel good because they deserve so much love and respect for what they do... she later told me that at the boarder a tiny grenade exploded by a mexican imagrant illegally crossing the boarder of Texas which she found 9 of those grenades, as she took out his stuff one of the grenades exploded probally by a faulty of the grenade... it truly was amazing hearing her story and i will remember it forever!!

God bless our soldiers and their families. Thank you, thank you all.

one things the yanks do well, they remember there vets.

The thing that makes me happy is the no leg guy. I’m still happy because he can still walk. God bless al these troops.

Whenever I see great tributes to our soldiers, I go back to the 1960's and 70's when our troops were spit on coming home. Next time you see a Viet Nam Vet..go thank them for their service because they never had any thanks that they rightfully deserve.

I am a Brit not a Yank! I believe "Nation shall speak peace unto nation" (moto of the BBC) and war should be a last resort not the first resort. I respect anyone who does their duty, be it a soldier, a Dr a fireman or.................? So to those soldiers who got wounded, or those who served, you have my utmost respect and thanks!!!

I wish we could have treated the men who came home from vietnam like that

THANKS GUYS , YOUR MY HERO , FROM A GRATEFUL SAFE AT HOME AMERICAN CITIZEN .

NOW THIS IS HOW OUR SOLDIERS SHOULD BE WELCOMED HOME!!!!

Ty so much fpr your service

Lost limbs for oil… such hero’s.

To all those that serve in any Military Services would like to thankyou for keeping us safe we as civilians can only imagine what you all go thru truth be told we have no idea can only say this if it were not for all of you's all Countries round the world would not have the freedom we are so privelleged to have now keep up the good work God Bless All those that serve in the Military Armed Forces men and women because of all we are Free

Welcome home . Thank you for your service and for all you have sacrificed for your country.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

'glass smashes in the background' JR: 'ohhh maa gaaawd, its the Texas rattlesnake!!!'

Soldiers dont start wars. They just have to pay the price.

That's a whole lot of awesomeness! THANK YOU ALL, injured or not, for your sacrifice. ❤

Gotta love the American patriotism

I beg your pardon sir, but I think it's important to remember. When one decides to enlist, they don't have a choice where they are sent. So, it is indeed noble. They may not want to go to Afghanistan or Iraq or any other hostile place, but that is a choice they are not given. It is a duty assigned to them when they enlist. It is indeed noble, regardless of the cause or reason. To say it is not, destroys the significance of those killed.

Salute Soldiers

I dont get anyone not respect these men and who server their country. These individuals sacrifice so much for our freedom. I just don't get it.

These r true American hero’s

The kids in college don't even know what Memorial day is or what these brave men and women have been through. The professors are teaching them everything is racist. Go look those soldiers in the face and tell them their racist. My heart ❤goes out to all the soldiers.

That's how we welcome home are servicemen and women thank you for your service God bless you

God bless our soldiers and their families, thank you for your service and I truly pray for you to have a great life.

These are real men and women

I bet all of the solider was in tears

Why can't us Brits show the same gratitude to our servicemen - well done to our cousins across the great pond

Top on you guys. You totally respect your military guys. 👍 from the 🇬🇧

I wish they never have to go to a war

Thank you for your service, Heroes!!! God bless you!!!❤❤❤

Nothing but absolute respect.

I am crying

Greetings from Canada - how can you not love this country .

Welcome home hero god bless you guys 🙏🏻

1968 O Hara from Nam. Spat at , pissed at, yelled at all the way out . Baby kills they said. Thank God times have changed ?

Welcome home bros!

Wonderful to see this response for these brave soldiers

Let's cry for those who didn't make it home 😢😢😢❤️❤️

All this pain, permanent injury and death. Why? Humans fighting humans. It truly is terrible.

This is why I stand for the anthem...not kneel.

This is the personal hell they signed up for so I could listen to my vinyl record collection, eat fast food, and drink over priced coffee with no true fear of being hurt or killed. I thank EVERYONE who has wore the uniform for giving me a life that is better and safer than what a vast majority of the worlds population through ALL mankind has ever had.

These types of things are hard but speaking from personal experience, most guys don't want a welcome home like that.. it's amazing that people care so much about what we as wounded veterans have done for our great nation.. but when I returned home, I got a similar welcome.. it was nice but it made me feel almost seperated... like every one was feeling sorry for me.. I never asked to be felt sorry for and worried about, I knew what i was getting into when I signed my name on that line. The only thing I was thinking about was my guys that I left over there.. and the fact that I couldn't be there with them was only solidified by this kind of welcome.. but great video and I love to see passionate Americans!

This the GREATEST Ft in the world! Ft Bliss rocks as I have to say that I had 3 of the best years of my life there from 1990 to 1993. All the people that live in El Paso made us feel welcomed and special! As a gentleman told me one time that lives in El Paso, You can take the boy out of Texas but you can never take Texas out of the boy!

In England we treat them like shit and turn a blind eye when we walk past them sleeping in doorways. It’s the only thing that has ever made me ashamed to be English

sorry everyone. i am on the wrong thread. Peace to all mankind. Love thy Neighbour etc. etc.

Thank each and everyone of you hero for serving our country you all deserve the highest honors there is we the American people thank you and love you all god bless each and all of you

Welcome home brave soldiers

Thank you for service soldiers...

Wow they looked kind of like they wanted away as soon as possible, they must have been really upset, understandable completely.

"USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA.".............................................................................

More of these videos need to be posted. Police last call also. This is to balance out the anti-police and military videos

60's Peace Activist Here: I wish to make CLEAR that MOST of us protesting US participation in the Viet war were not . . . not . . . NOT "hating" the soldiers, just the WAR itself. The UNdeserved hostility toooo many returning veterans received was DISGRACEFUL. If you agree, I encourage you to, actively, express appreciation to ANY currently, or formerly, serving military persons. Many will be Vietnam veterans; but they ALL deserve commendation. Otherwise, please consider HONORING VFW's w/ donations and/or attendance at Memorial Day & Veteran's Day services. May the fallen rest in PEACE; they earned it for the rest of us.

This restores hope in humanity

Bravo all of you, I’m so proud of you all

RESPECT

Oh boy. I cried and cried at the soldier's sacrifices, and the crowd's respect. It does NOT get better than this.

The troops made an oath to serve the country and under the contract they are government property says so my grandpa who served in WW2 Korean War and nam...so it wouldn't be their choice if the want to go..don't get me wrong I'm joining the u.s. Army after high school

GOD Bless them All... 😀👍

Well deserved 👌 !!!

260 people need to meet Negan and Lucille!

God bless each and everyone for keeping us safe. ❤

title needs to be renamed. "6 wounded heros return home"

He clearly doesn't get it. He has the right to come on hear and bash because of the men and women in our military DEFENDING that right. Our military fights for those who can't fight for themselves. That's what the USA has always stood for, freedom. Thank you to you and the other military members who have served, and continue to serve the greatest country in the world! Be safe.

Thats the way to give respect to nation defenders

Thank you for sharing this. Very heartwarming to see our military men and women being appreciated for their service.

Oh man.... oh man, this is hard to watch... my brother went to Afganistan, but on the day that all the soldiers came back... he didn't show up. This is hard to watch.
