In 1968 when I was 12 I went to San Antonio, Tx. to see my uncle that was wounded from the fighting in Vietnam. Many of the servicemen were taken to that hospital in Ft Sam Houston at Brooks Army Hospital. Some of those servicemen died at that hospital. That's what I remember of the Summer of 1968. This song describes what took place in Vietnam and many veterans weren't welcomed back. The 60's were that time of the Counterculture Revolution and the protests that took place. Mainly the war in Vietnam was protested because it was an unpopular war. A very tough time for the servicemen when they came back. This is an excellent song describing the war and what took place in America during the 60's.
@@kennethmackenzie8558 if one didn't live during that time period it certainly wasn't a laughing matter. Seeing wounded servicemen coming back with limbs missing. One young serviceman that was a hometown boy from our hometown about 24 or 25 wasn't going to live. He was one of my uncle's Army buddies they had to reroute the intestine that leads to his rectum he was shot or shrapnel exploded close to his buttocks. He wasn't going to live and certainly he died that was back in 1968. War isn't a laughing especially what the Vietnam veterans went through.
My brother brother-in-law other relatives and friends served in Viet Nam and I' proud of them. They weren't treated right when they returned.God bless all of you

I am a Vietnam vet and I came home with all my limbs but my heart is heavy and my mind is not the same Sprague and betrayed and 54 years later they finally paid!😢
Thank you Jim for your reply. I almost enlisted in the Army but a good friend of mine wanted to join up with the Marines. We enlisted together and went through bootcamp together. After bootcamp he went to the Marine Air Wing and I went to 5th Recon Battalion at Camp Pendleton.
OK this song gives me chills. My DAD did make it back home in 68. Purple Heart Recepant at that. And im 62 yrs old on this day. My country is a communist police POS STATE if there ever was. My dad and all the veterans didnt fight for this crap. I wass 11 yrs old in Fitzimons Army Med Center Denver Co in Aug of 1973. Seen a lot of hurt from our service men coming home from NAM. God bless em all.
Was there in 68 after being blown up. 9 months of surgery at Fitsimmons with my wife. I married just before going over and if I hadn't I would not be here today. She wrote e in February that she thought he was pregnant ad that love kept me alive. Two of my men did not make it, Biondo and Eagleson. To this day I regret that I could not save them I was the medic in that platoon. I could not move anything for three days. As they loaded us on to the chopper I could look to my left and saw Eagleson on the floor. I asked if he was going to make it and they said no. I could feel the blood oozing out of my back and started to black out. I thought that I could not die and I had a wife and baby on the way. I remember the chopper starting to going up then a sudden jolt. I blacked out. I came to at Cu chi and Bailey and I wee laying on stretchers. I asked where Biondo was and passed out again. When I came to I could only move my eyes ad continued to ask where the other men were. Beatty I had no idea but I knew Biondo was in intensive care. On the third day I could move and the first thing I did was swing out of bed ad look for Biondo. I found him in intensive care and told him I was sorry for not protecting him. But the nurses kicked me out. I later heard he didn't make it. I also found out that he first chopper tripped a booby trap and came down, I never heard if any others were hurt. To this day I metal through out my body but would do it all again for my brothers.

3:11 I was in high school then, 1970’s cannot ever forget the loudspeaker announcement of a classmate who perished in action. Had distant relative, 82nd Airborne, landed in 6-6-44…..You and your comrades have my highest respect and admiration. So sorry my generation could not appreciate what you had been up against, until 50 years later. God bless you and all who served.
