Interesting take on things. If it was actually "against community standards" you wouldn't be posting this comment, because the video would be gone. What they do have is essentially a trigger warning, so that people like the actual veterans that this song honors can be prepared to possibly relive some pretty serious shit. Maybe don't blindly react to social media talking points next time.
59 years later, this song was a must- listen: on this date, in this place. My siblings and I owe our lives to the fact that my father served in Germany and not SE Asia from '63-'66. I firmly believe he would not have survived combat; and we would not exist at all. To those who went, whether volunteered or "volunTOLD," I salute you all.
Here today November 8 2024 listening to this and it means more now than it ever has. My Papa died on March 1st and he was a vietnam veteran. This has been a tough year but things are looking up and America is back!!! Trump 2024!!!!
I do, too. I'm glad Big & Rich have commemorated this horrible battle. Hits home hard for many who served, as well as their families, friends and communities. War is truly hell. May their memories be for a blessing.
I knew many Vietnam veterans in my life and Army career. They did their job despite never having the support their fathers did in WWII and even Korea. God bless your dad and the others who fought like hell in an unpopular war.
just want to say screw youtube for flagging this song. its complete and total bs that a song respecting those that gave their life gets flagged in such a disrespectful way.
I'm so used to them flagging song that I love that I didn't read what it says, and it almost always comes up. I hate that they flag it, and even after you confirm it, you have to stop what you're doing to hit play. I've never been a fan of censorship of adults in a free society, especially on a song that speaks to the unspeakable price some have paid to keep it free
Absolutely disgusting that a song meant to honor those who gave their lives is flagged, but they have no issue allowing violent crimes to be shown without restriction.
I can't believe the "UA-cam Community" finds this song offensive! I find it offensive that so many people in this country are so ignorant and misguided. God help us all!
Who ever complained to UA-cam about this video has never served in the military nor has any appreciation for it! Me- 82nd Airborne/ Afghanistan. My dad- 4th Infantry/ Vietnam. War is awful and people should never forget the sacrifices of brave men and women.
I heartily concur. War is hell. I can't begin to imagine what it was like to be in battle, regardless of the conflict (WWI; WWII; Korea; Vietnam; Kuwait; Iraq; Afghanistan). For all those who served and never made it home---may their memories be for a blessing. Take care and be safe.
I agree with ya UA-cam shouldn't have flagged 8th of November cause it's in honor of all my nam brothers that never came home shame on you UA-cam shame
8 years now I have listened to this song! Remember those who have fallen, thank those who served! A moment of silence for the men that lost their life this day many years ago! 😔
Every time i hear this song i have tears. I am currently in iraq on my third tour but it still hurts thinking about the people who did this before us they are the true heros for making it possible for us to be doing what we are doing now. enlisted ,officer ,reserves , army, navy, marines, airforce and coast guard thank you. I been in 14 years and i hope to do another 14
My neighbor was in this battle. His name was Clinton poley. He was shot three times, once in the head. Somehow survived but he never left his post and kept fighting. He recently passed away a month ago. Great song
We lost my grandfather in February of last year he served alongside the 101st airborne division from 1960 until he was transferred to the 5 special forces group in 1962 where he spent the remainder of his career in the army as a communications specialists however he wouldn't talk much about his military service but when he did he would always say god bless the 101st he once told me a story about how one platoon from the 101st airborne went into and didn't expect to survive and in the end even though they sustained heavy casualties they fended off over 300 NVA regulars
I don't care about criminals that want to fight cops I don't want to remember their names but these names I will remember for real this generation understands nothing but giving it away shaking my head great song it's too bad these people were spit on and called baby killers that breaks my heart
I play this song every 8th of November, and pray for the soldiers that gave their lives for The American people's freedom, but this year it means so much more cause this isn't the freedom that they died for, it was something so much more..God Bless America..
I forwarded this song/video via email to a slew of people yesterday; 11/8/2021 as I have for the past decade. The song & video give me chills no matter how many times I hear it. This is such an important week for all Veterans and all Americans. The 8th of November and The 11th Day of the 11th hour. "Lest We Forget". 🇺🇲🗽🦅💈
I started posting on my facebook page as within the last year the number of Vietnam Vets that I know that have died with exposure to agent orange, trust the science, right, is taking its toll.
Unfortunately these men sacrificed themselves for a cause. Freedom and liberty. Which people can't comprihend today. We have a world full of selfless bitches. Who are afraid to take a stand. In case it offends someone. Thank fk I'm not that weak. Unjabbed and a pure blood. Not afraid to take a stand against tyranny.
This song has a whole new meaning for me my grandfather died November 8th.1992 exactly 27 years after this devastating time in Vietnam. He was also an Army Airborne Ranger
@Boomers On a Ferris Wheel All I'm gonna say.is this. Sometimes we have to do the wrong thing, for the right reason. Showing a willingness to lay down your own life, for a loved one, is the right reason, and that is what that ink stands for. I'm pretty sure.He understands why you got it. On the tattoo reference in the Scripture, you Also have ve to look at the history of that region. There were groups who, as part of the mourning process, would heavily tattoo them self, to honor, (for) their dead. IOW, Why.is a factor. Keep in mind that this is coming from someone with Il Duce's prayer on his right ribs, and the family prayer from the Boondock Saints, over his heart, because he believes in what those prayers mean. Pretty much, if you spill the blood of the innocent, then, eith His blessing, your blood will also be spilled, if need be, by my hand. As a father, friend, Brother, and a husband, I would lay my own life forfeit, for those I love, and if neccessary, die, or kill, to protect them, and those unable, of protecting themself. Even Jesus told his flock to arm themselves, and if need be, sell their cloaks, to buy a sword, as it is better to be naked, than defenseless.
@Third Eye 3 Some people might argue the context around those implies that its sinful to use marking on your body to show devotion or worship to another God.
I play this song a lot. My birthday is November 8th, 1960. They are trying to make us forget these brave men. I don’t think they thought anyone would find out. God bless the USA & all of soldiers that came home & the Soldiers who died. They should have never been drop there. They fought until the end. 😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much. I also have a twin. We should never forget the sacrifices of these brave men. And not forgetting the woman as well. I'm sure the media and government hid how many nurses lost their lives as well. 🇮🇪🍀💚@@russellgrosser-7677
Don't forget that South Korea was also on our side in Vietnam. A lot of people who have served in Vietnam did so alongside the South Korean military and have said that the Viet Cong were terrified of the South Korean troops in addition to revealing the Korean troops would beat each other up just for fun.
My husband almost cried when he heard this song. He went in with 25 men, 5 walked out of the jungle. The dead are all together on the wall. We have visited many times and he heads straight to that panel and prays.
God bless Big and Rich for dedicating this song to honor the 173rd Airborne brigade. They lost a lot of good men on the 8th of November, 1965 in Vietnam. We salute them for their bravery and service.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
If your heart doesn't stop during this song, pull the dirt back up cause your dead or numb. A heartfelt thanks to all who have and continue to serve this great country.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!! And for me I have listened to it literally a thousand or so times AND THE TEARS ROLL EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!!!!!! Nothing makes me prouder than ANY of our military, reserves, etc. I LOVE OUR COUNTRY & pray on THIS VERY IMPORTANT YEAR THAT NOV 3, 2020 DO NOT UNDO ALL THESE YEARS SO MANY have bled & died for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE FOR OUR FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a Veteran of Desert Storm..I would sincerely like to extend my gratitude and thanks to all who served and are currently serving..no matter what war..conflict..battles we were in at the end of the day we r all brothers with a bond that can never b broken..Thank you all..Semper Fi
Crazy how this song makes my stomach hurt and my tears flow in a good and bad way at the same time. Big & Rich you have truly touched people with this song and told a story that needed to be told.
It’s the 8th of November 2024, I listen to this song every year on this day. This song has special meaning to me. My dad was there and he survived. He will always be my hero❤
It's still amazes me how UA-cam blocks this video as inappropriate. But you can watch WAP with no blocks whatsoever. These men should deserve more respect than what they're getting from the UA-cam algorithm.
I am a nobody. You'll never really know my name. I will say this my grandmother and my grandfather and my uncle they were all military. I didn't get to serve and I regret that I will my entire life. Thank you. I have a daughter I have wife I have a home it's all because of men like you.. thank you I don't consider myself a coward but I wish I would have joined. You in the other men you serve with you guys are my heroes. I can't prove but I swear to God I don't care about Kate's I don't care about iron suits I don't care about nothing all I care about is thank you God bless you and I hope you're rich I hope you have more money and you can spend. But I know it's not about money. Again thank you
The father of nine in my close friends, and an ex, was there, 8 November, 1965. I still remember the first time he saw this video, and recognized some if the faces in it,.including the medic who saved his life. Aside from his daughter's wedding, last spring, it is the only time I've even seen him cry. The next day, he sat down, and told us the story, from his boots, on the ground that day. Something we never asked about, out of respect for him. A habit that I picked up, growing up around marines and sailors, who served over there. I remember their tears, for those who didn't make it back, and for all who did, forever changed. For those who served, and who are serving now, thank you.
Wow. That's amazing. I hope to someday visit the grave of Lawrence Joel and pay my respects. Lawrence made history as the first living black man since the Spanish-American War of 1898 to receive the United States Medal of Honor for his actions. I also hope to visit Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver, Colorado to visit the grave of a Korean War veteran who died with no surviving family members but was buried with full Military honors at Fort Logan. Also buried in Fort Logan National Cemetery are Stephen Curnow and Kyle Velasquez; two of the victims of the April 20th, 1999 shooting at Columbine High School.
One of my all-time favorites. I play this a half dozen times each year. So proud, this is a story that can't be forgotten. Beautiful harmonious boys...
I Was amazing to see a message saying this video made be inappropriate. As someone who became a vet. I think our foundering father's would be proud of this song as I see nothing wrong with it Well done
1000% I love this. This song is not offensive in any since of the word. UA-cam is woke. Horrible move. Stop driving the wedge further and start bringing back peace. God love this county. Be Blessed.
I think this is a great honor to the 173rd Airborne from Big & Rich great job Big & Rich are all our military men should be honored for any of us there fighting for our freedom from World War 1 to Afghanistan Al should be honored in my opinion give those boys whatever they need and want God bless them all
I was drafted into the marines Dec 1969. Fortunately I was made into a payroll clerk so I was spared of any combat. I came from a rural area and at least 95% of the young men in my age group were drafted during Vietnam. We had two who died in Vietnam and two who died shortly after coming home. You can say that war was a mistake but for we who served, it was still a war. Semper Fi to all who served.
Today is the day, 59 years later. My thanks to all who fought, are fighting, or stand ready to fight now or in the future for this great country. I'm grateful. Well done Lawrence Joel. Awesome job B&R.
As a 29 year Army, 82nd ABN Veteran retired who had 8 combat tours. My mind & body returned to the land of the big PX, but my soul is still missing in action!!! 🥲
God Bless those who protect our precious freedom. Big and John, I ran the lights when you played this in Ocoee with the veteran on stage. This grown man cried at the light board that night. You’re true patriots.
The men who this song is about still lived in deadwood South Dakota saw big and rich in concert in deadwood and they sang this song. Deadwood SD is a home to these men
It's sad to have UA-cam say it's not okay for most people to see this. they should play this everyday on the radio. I can't wait to see the new movie coming out to see if it actually shows what happened.
On November 8 of 2020 I lost my grandma at 3 o clock in the morning, I watched her take her last breath, well I watched the ventilator take her last breath because she wasn't breathing on her own, she died because she was very sick, she had heart failure, liver failure, and kidney failure. RIP mawmaw I love you🙏🙏
My daddy was 101st Airborne. He just passed away 2 years ago.. he was my best friend and will forever be my hero and my angel. Until we meet again... ❤️
beutiful , there was a older gentleman who lived in. my town. who served in 1965 November 8th. and his story's made him a hero and unfortunately no one treats him with the respect he desurved except me because he was a hero. who risked his life for the future such as me and he died as a hero in my eyes and this song. matches the stories he had told me.
I know I guy who served then to surprisingly he's alive still but he has a little limp but he's cool he taught me how to ride and shoot and aim good I love him
Why is this video age-restricted? Kids ought to see this... I saw this video when I was a kid and I remember being stunned by it. I later joined the US Coast Guard. Telling the stories of our veterans teaches kids to aspire for honor. I'll never measure up to the fine men this song is about, but I'll try my best. God bless Big and Rich for honoring these warriors with this song.
During the Vietnam draft, dad got called up. Grandma went to mass. She spent months praying. After basic, there were two busses, dad was assigned the second one. The first was sent to Vietnam, dad's bus was sent to South Korea to patrol the DMZ. My family still prays daily for our service men and women.
I only listen to this song a couple of days a year. Afghan vet but this song speaks and no other song that can jerk tears like this. Respect to whoever wrote this song
I Salute every Sky soldier of the Herd past and present on the 8th of November. Best Army unit I served in. And arguably the entire army. The 173rd has a rich history. That continues to this day. I’m among those who have been wounded with the herd. We lost many good men in Iraq and Afghanistan. I’m fortunate to still be here and to honor them.
This song always makes me cry. I enlisted when I was18 and arrived in Vietnam at 19. And like most combat soldiers I have dates in my memory that stand out. I was with the Recon Platoon of Echo Company 2/8 1st Cavalry Division . On the 8th of March 1970. We were surrounded , out numbered it was getting dark and the field we were defending was on fire. So yeah i can relate to this song.. There are no songs to commemorate the experience of what my friends and I went through or of the countless thousands of young soldiers who did combat in Nam. So when I hear this song I think back to my old friends . Gone now over half century and the tears come. Thanks for posting this
@@thomaslane9082 Hello Thomas. Im sure we did eat as you said some of the same dirt. There is a group called the Charlie family ( the formal namei on facebook is. Charlie company 2nd Bn. 8th cav (AM) 1969-1970) it is on facebook. A group made up of men who served in Charlie 2/8. Since my platoon Echo Recon 2/8 fought with Charlie company on several occasion including Fire Support Base Illingworth we are included in the family. It is a honor.The head of the facebook group is George Hobson. a former company commander . Their are also guys named , John Naylon, David Dedrick, Richard(Rick) Hokenson. Larry Spaun, and Byron(Lord Byron ) Lourd. If any of these names are familiar to you I suggest you reach out as they are all on facebook. That little fracas you mentioned in the Dogs head. When that troop from the 11th ACR got bushwhacked. Recon was involved in that as well. We made a Charley Alpha into a LZ that' was entirely too hot for my liking. It was a very interesting morning. . Im very glad to hear from you and take care. Honor and Courage
My uncle Sargeant Donald Layfield died that day! He was carrying the big gun. Not sure of the name of the machine gun but you would know. He was all muscle but lean strong and tall, the guy behind him had the ammo. Needless to say, they took him out. He was 20. My dad's baby brother. To this day, dad gets teary talking about him. I remember him, I was 6 when he died. He was always smiling, joking and a great person. I wondered if by chance you served alongside with him that day or remember him. I would love to know. Thank you so much for your service.
This tune always puts a lump in my throat. Thank you Big and Rich, it's beautiful. I have a friend who served in the 173rd as an airborne grunt and was there in 1965 - 66. He came home and studied to become a highly regarded plastic surgeon. I don't know if he was caught up in the LZ X-Ray fight, have never asked him and never will. When he does feel like talking about those days, I always listen. Even though he came home alive, he has the hurt that'll never go away. Thank you and welcome home to all of my brothers and sisters who served....... 67N2F, 201st Aviation Company (Assault Helicopter) "Red Baron 497" ROK, 79-80.
I raise a toast to absent comrades and fallen friends, fair winds and following seas until we stand the watch together again on the streets paved with gold. OoRAH!
@@chrislowry3822 I am so very sorry to hear that Chris. It got a lot of damned good men and, still is. I have 2 Brothers in the Louisiana War Vets Retirement Home in Jackson, Louisiana. I visit them several times a year and play music for all of them. My prayers are with you and your Family.
I understand that not too many people in this day and age, really truly know or understand about how truly horrific the tragic conundrums of the Vietnam War really was. As a child of a Retired USMC Vietnam Veteran, my Dad was one of the "lucky" ones to have survived the atrocities of the Vietnam War. It is utterly heart breaking to witness a soldier who is still fighting the same war that he left 30 years ago - and when that soldier is your father, it really makes you see things in a much more understanding and empathetic light. I was born five years after the Fall of Saigon - which was when the Vietnam War had ended. I grew up watching how relentlessly haunted my Dad was from the unspeakable tragedies that he experienced while serving in the Vietnam War. I saw the way he simply couldn't help but to just re-hash the events over and over again, and what breaks my heart the most, is the way he suffered with so much that he just couldn't seem to find a way to forgive himself for... I'm not sure what those were, and I never asked him out of respect. One thing that all of our Vietnam Vets had in common was the fact they all returned home to a grossly ungrateful country where they were commonly disparaged by their very own fellow American citizens. People spat in their faces, and commonly referred to them, not as patriotic soldiers, but as "baby killers". There was no recognition or support for the devastation that they had just been through, nor sympathies or acknowledgment for the soldiers who they had bonded with that were killed and had to be left behind. I can only imagine the additional PTSD that this had to have had on many of them... So many of them were already struggling with all sorts of PTSD - but since PTSD wasn't yet a widely known or even understood condition yet - most of our Vietnam Vets were forced to simply deal with all the trauma they had just been through all on their own. Believe me when I say that their suffering was done in a deafening and absolutely debilitating amount of silence. This is why I believe with every fiber of my being that it is our Vietnam Veterans who are some of the finest warriors God has ever put on this earth. They are the only soldiers in all of America's history who have had to know and feel the pain of their country’s insurmountable rejection and they had to carry on with the shambles that the Vietnam War left their lives in. Because I wasn't born until 1980 - I am so glad that I didn't have to know a country that I love so dearly the way it was then... I can't fathom an America who rejects the soldiers who bravely answered the call to honorably fight for her... Then to turn their backs leaving them in the cold the way they did - it literally makes me so mad that I can't fight back the tears every time I think about how this must have felt for them... I would just like to say to all of our Vietnam Veterans and to their families - that my family and I proudly honor, appreciate and acknowledge the tremendous service and sacrifices that each and every Vietnam Veteran so valiantly made. Today, yesterday and always. It is an honor to celebrate and acknowledge our Vietnam Veterans, and please know that your service will NEVER be forgotten. As for me... Well... Some people dream of getting to meet their hero's. I was so very lucky to have been raised by mine. RIP MSgt Colin D. Broussard - USMC Retired - Operation Frequent Wind.
Sadly it’s sometimes hard for our people to understand that our military servicemen aren’t the ones who decide to go to war it’s the ones in charge of them at the very top who decide to do that
Amazing song. I am taking my military friend to the Big and Rich and Gretchen Wilson concert and I am paying for it. THANKS TO ALL OF OUR TROOPS FOR FIGHTING FOR MY RIGHT TO POST THIS!!!!!!
When this song came out It was on the front of cherios box on a cd. As a promotion. I was around 10 or so. I played that song on that cd over and over and over Here i am 30 and i recall every word of this song Today is November 8, 2024. My friends funeral was today as well. He was 71. Motorcycle accident kept him from vietnam. God bless rip to all fallen
This is one of the reasons we stand for the anthem and flag. No matter how you feel about the war. These young men and women went where their country asked them to go. The flag and anthem represents all our soldiers all the way back to the Revolutionary War. We wouldn't have a country to live in if they hadn't answered the call.
Rest in peace my Brothers. The got me on November 18, 1973 in the Gun Ship I was flying. The date is close enough to rattle me. Much love and many prayers for your Families. Bravo-29, CW-3, MOS-153A (old MOS-062B-D) , UH-1C & H Gun Ship, Vietnam 1971 to11-18-1973, shot down 30 Kilometers North of Fire Base Khe Sanh. God Speed Brothers. I am not too far behind you now
I served with Kelly E. Whitaker (@1:10) in the 101st Airborne (3/187th). We became best friends before he left for Vietnam. I found out about his death just days before I left for Vietnam in December 1965. SFC Brayboy was my platoon sergeant in the 101st and I only found out that he died 8 November 1965 earlier this year. RIP and God Bless You!
Today is November 8th, 2024. It's been 59 years to the day that these terrible events happened. RIP to the men of the 173rd Airborne. Blessings to those who served and survived. Freedom always comes at a terrible cost. May we never forget. And may these good peoples' memories be for a blessing.
This was my brother-in-law's favorite song, he passed away on Nov. 9th 2016. My sister played this at his wake. I can't listen to song without crying. He was a 20 year vet.
My Father served with the 173rd in Vietnam after this battle. He was wounded in a firefight and recovered physically to a point but never mentally. I miss him....

Shame on UA-cam for saying that this song goes against community standards it’s a great song with a group message
Interesting take on things. If it was actually "against community standards" you wouldn't be posting this comment, because the video would be gone. What they do have is essentially a trigger warning, so that people like the actual veterans that this song honors can be prepared to possibly relive some pretty serious shit. Maybe don't blindly react to social media talking points next time.
59 years later, this song was a must- listen: on this date, in this place.
My siblings and I owe our lives to the fact that my father served in Germany and not SE Asia from '63-'66. I firmly believe he would not have survived combat; and we would not exist at all.
To those who went, whether volunteered or "volunTOLD," I salute you all.
Here today November 8 2024 listening to this and it means more now than it ever has. My Papa died on March 1st and he was a vietnam veteran. This has been a tough year but things are looking up and America is back!!! Trump 2024!!!!

I post it on Facebook. Every year !
Here in the same. Bourbon up…salute. Here’s to the 173rd.

I do, too. I'm glad Big & Rich have commemorated this horrible battle. Hits home hard for many who served, as well as their families, friends and communities.
War is truly hell.
May their memories be for a blessing.
It's 8 November, 2024. A huge thank you to the men who served and gave their lives for us. You will never be forgotten.

I knew many Vietnam veterans in my life and Army career. They did their job despite never having the support their fathers did in WWII and even Korea. God bless your dad and the others who fought like hell in an unpopular war.
Oh hell! Jump boots and wings!!! Only the ones that have been there will understand!!!!
Sorry for your loss ,from another vet god bless
God bless❤️🇺🇸
just want to say screw youtube for flagging this song. its complete and total bs that a song respecting those that gave their life gets flagged in such a disrespectful way.
Totally agree with this comment. Guess they don’t want people to get an idea of the what the meat grinder is like and then try to avoid it.
I'm so used to them flagging song that I love that I didn't read what it says, and it almost always comes up. I hate that they flag it, and even after you confirm it, you have to stop what you're doing to hit play.

Absolutely disgusting that a song meant to honor those who gave their lives is flagged, but they have no issue allowing violent crimes to be shown without restriction.

Because this does not flow with the anti God world being reigned down upon us.
God Bless all those who served, those who came home and those who did not. 11/08/2024
RIP Kris..> Thank you for being a part of this and may no one forget all that was given before, during or after Vietnam.
I've tried for years to remember to look up this song on November 8th. This year, I succeeded.
I can't believe the "UA-cam Community" finds this song offensive! I find it offensive that so many people in this country are so ignorant and misguided. God help us all!
I lost my brother, 173 airborne, November 22nd, 1967. Thank you for the song.
God bless your Brother... RIP BROTHER ❤
Dak To. Truly Hell. My condolences and my he rest in peace 🙏🏻🫡. For your brother 🥃
May your brother's memory be for a blessing.
Zichrono liv'rachah, as we Jews say in Hebrew. Take care and stay safe 🙏.
Who ever complained to UA-cam about this video has never served in the military nor has any appreciation for it! Me- 82nd Airborne/ Afghanistan. My dad- 4th Infantry/ Vietnam. War is awful and people should never forget the sacrifices of brave men and women.
My dad was also fourth division
My dad, 4th Infantry, Utah beach Normandy.
I heartily concur. War is hell. I can't begin to imagine what it was like to be in battle, regardless of the conflict (WWI; WWII; Korea; Vietnam; Kuwait; Iraq; Afghanistan).
For all those who served and never made it home---may their memories be for a blessing.
Take care and be safe.
So everyone came to this song when hearing about losing Kris? Rest in peace sir.
No not for that reason at all listen to this song alot. Didn't know of his passing long live a legend. We love u kris
When the video started my first thought is I wonder if he's still with us, I heard nothing about his death
When the video started my first thought is I wonder if he's still with us, I heard nothing about his death
Nope this has always been one of my favorites
I agree with ya UA-cam shouldn't have flagged 8th of November cause it's in honor of all my nam brothers that never came home shame on you UA-cam shame
8 years now I have listened to this song! Remember those who have fallen, thank those who served!
A moment of silence for the men that lost their life this day many years ago! 😔
Every time i hear this song i have tears. I am currently in iraq on my third tour but it still hurts thinking about the people who did this before us they are the true heros for making it possible for us to be doing what we are doing now. enlisted ,officer ,reserves , army, navy, marines, airforce and coast guard thank you. I been in 14 years and i hope to do another 14
Thank you and your family for the sacrifices and service for our country🇺🇸
I simply love that song,that song will never die
Thank you so much! I hope you’re fine and safe!
Thank You Good Luck. People like you and them are the reason I’m a Chopper Pilot
Thank you for your service and God bless you.
My neighbor was in this battle. His name was Clinton poley. He was shot three times, once in the head. Somehow survived but he never left his post and kept fighting. He recently passed away a month ago. Great song
We lost my grandfather in February of last year he served alongside the 101st airborne division from 1960 until he was transferred to the 5 special forces group in 1962 where he spent the remainder of his career in the army as a communications specialists however he wouldn't talk much about his military service but when he did he would always say god bless the 101st he once told me a story about how one platoon from the 101st airborne went into and didn't expect to survive and in the end even though they sustained heavy casualties they fended off over 300 NVA regulars
Rip
A true blue american. May he rest in peace and honor.
I don't care about criminals that want to fight cops I don't want to remember their names but these names I will remember for real this generation understands nothing but giving it away shaking my head great song it's too bad these people were spit on and called baby killers that breaks my heart
HERO.
It’s the 8th guys thank y’all so much for our freedom
I play this song every 8th of November, and pray for the soldiers that gave their lives for The American people's freedom, but this year it means so much more cause this isn't the freedom that they died for, it was something so much more..God Bless America..
So do I! History that's not taught anymore. So sad.
Amen.
I forwarded this song/video via email to a slew of people yesterday; 11/8/2021 as I have for the past decade. The song & video give me chills no matter how many times I hear it. This is such an important week for all Veterans and all Americans. The 8th of November and The 11th Day of the 11th hour. "Lest We Forget". 🇺🇲🗽🦅💈
I started posting on my facebook page as within the last year the number of Vietnam Vets that I know that have died with exposure to agent orange, trust the science, right, is taking its toll.
Unfortunately these men sacrificed themselves for a cause. Freedom and liberty. Which people can't comprihend today. We have a world full of selfless bitches. Who are afraid to take a stand. In case it offends someone. Thank fk I'm not that weak. Unjabbed and a pure blood. Not afraid to take a stand against tyranny.
This song has a whole new meaning for me my grandfather died November 8th.1992 exactly 27 years after this devastating time in Vietnam. He was also an Army Airborne Ranger
An airborne Ranger never dies, he is up there watching over you and all of his fellow veterans. 😊
Your grandfather is a legend that looks over all of our warriors. RIP 🫡
My grandpa's where killed in Vietnam. I am joining the army in 4 years
I’m looking to be serve as an airborne
God bless and rest in peace
Man, RIP Kris. His narration has always elevated this song.
John 15:13 "Greater love hath no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends"
@Boomers On a Ferris Wheel Catholicism has no problem with it
@Boomers On a Ferris Wheel please note the words " for the dead" in that verse. And aide from that Christ is the end of the law to all who believe.
Thank you brother for not being afraid to express your Christian beliefs! America can use a lil more of it!
God bless you and your loved ones!😇
@Boomers On a Ferris Wheel All I'm gonna say.is this. Sometimes we have to do the wrong thing, for the right reason. Showing a willingness to lay down your own life, for a loved one, is the right reason, and that is what that ink stands for. I'm pretty sure.He understands why you got it.
On the tattoo reference in the Scripture, you Also have ve to look at the history of that region. There were groups who, as part of the mourning process, would heavily tattoo them self, to honor, (for) their dead.
IOW, Why.is a factor.
Keep in mind that this is coming from someone with Il Duce's prayer on his right ribs, and the family prayer from the Boondock Saints, over his heart, because he believes in what those prayers mean. Pretty much, if you spill the blood of the innocent, then, eith His blessing, your blood will also be spilled, if need be, by my hand.
As a father, friend, Brother, and a husband, I would lay my own life forfeit, for those I love, and if neccessary, die, or kill, to protect them, and those unable, of protecting themself.
Even Jesus told his flock to arm themselves, and if need be, sell their cloaks, to buy a sword, as it is better to be naked, than defenseless.
@Third Eye 3 Some people might argue the context around those implies that its sinful to use marking on your body to show devotion or worship to another God.
I play this song on my birthday every year. I was born 8th November 1970. Least we forget these brave men. Which there are few of now.
Few... maybe. But not enough to be overlooked!
I play this song a lot. My birthday is November 8th, 1960. They are trying to make us forget these brave men. I don’t think they thought anyone would find out.
God bless the USA & all of soldiers that came home & the Soldiers who died. They should have never been drop
there. They fought until the end. 😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏
Happy birthday 🎂. We're the same age (I was born in April of '70).
Heckuvan anniversary, no?
Stay well and take care.
@@LisaS-lo3cxHappy birthday 🎂🎈. May you enjoy many more!🙏
Thank you very much. I also have a twin. We should never forget the sacrifices of these brave men. And not forgetting the woman as well. I'm sure the media and government hid how many nurses lost their lives as well. 🇮🇪🍀💚@@russellgrosser-7677
Remember those who never came home. Honor all and ty and remember Kris
I like how you can see an Australian Flag behind the bar. The 1st Royal Australian Regiment was involved in the fight as well.
hanscombe72 . Aussies have always had our back! I’ve fought with you and your Marines are bad ass as well!
Love Australia... But why do you lot have to have the deadliest animals, plants, ECT.. Thank you all for your service 🤗
Thank you, Aussies!
Don't forget that South Korea was also on our side in Vietnam. A lot of people who have served in Vietnam did so alongside the South Korean military and have said that the Viet Cong were terrified of the South Korean troops in addition to revealing the Korean troops would beat each other up just for fun.
Ex aussie grunt :) Love our American brothers in arms cheers 🍻
Let's never forget freedom isn't free
Rest in piece mr. kristofferson. I hope you got to shake the hands of those great men today…
November 8th 2024….thank you for your service and welcome home.
My husband almost cried when he heard this song. He went in with 25 men, 5 walked out of the jungle. The dead are all together on the wall. We have visited many times and he heads straight to that panel and prays.
Sorry for your husband's loss. 🇮🇪🍀💚
God bless Big and Rich for dedicating this song to honor the 173rd Airborne brigade. They lost a lot of good men on the 8th of November, 1965 in Vietnam. We salute them for their bravery and service.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
If your heart doesn't stop during this song, pull the dirt back up cause your dead or numb. A heartfelt thanks to all who have and continue to serve this great country.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!! And for me I have listened to it literally a thousand or so times AND THE TEARS ROLL EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!!!!!! Nothing makes me prouder than ANY of our military, reserves, etc. I LOVE OUR COUNTRY & pray on THIS VERY IMPORTANT YEAR THAT NOV 3, 2020 DO NOT UNDO ALL THESE YEARS SO MANY have bled & died for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE FOR OUR FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen
Awesome Song🇺🇸✌🏽🇺🇸
Amen

“Semper Fi” theses lives matter!
Love it! Couldnt agree more
Everytime i see a older vet i try do show my appreciation for their service
OOHRAH!!!!!!!🙏🇺🇲💚🙏🇺🇲💚🙏🇺🇲💚🙏🥰🇺🇲💚🙏🇺🇲🥰
Hoooaa! Army airborne lives matter.
As a Veteran of Desert Storm..I would sincerely like to extend my gratitude and thanks to all who served and are currently serving..no matter what war..conflict..battles we were in at the end of the day we r all brothers with a bond that can never b broken..Thank you all..Semper Fi
20 years of a classic.
Crazy how this song makes my stomach hurt and my tears flow in a good and bad way at the same time. Big & Rich you have truly touched people with this song and told a story that needed to be told.
🙏❤️🇲🇾
I met a guy who said he was in the 173rd . '64-66 . I asked if he was there on the 8th. He slowly said yea, with a tear in his eye
It’s the 8th of November 2024, I listen to this song every year on this day. This song has special meaning to me. My dad was there and he survived. He will always be my hero❤
RIP Chris, you'll be missed.
It's still amazes me how UA-cam blocks this video as inappropriate. But you can watch WAP with no blocks whatsoever. These men should deserve more respect than what they're getting from the UA-cam algorithm.
Rip to all our brave lost servicemen
Thanks to all of our veterans and God bless them and their family
I listen to this and raise a glass and a give heart felt salute to each and every one of my Brothers and Sisters In Arms
God Bless You All!
Niles Harris was my first sergeant, fashioned my career after him...fair yet firm. Proud of him
Said goodbye to his mama he probably had to say goodbye to her again by now. Great song to honor our veterans
Thank you all that have served and any one that are serving. God bless
Men like this make me proud to have served with this unit for over 6 years and three combat tours. Sky Soldiers! Gone but not forgotten.
Same here 1st rock. 1-503rf
I am a nobody. You'll never really know my name. I will say this my grandmother and my grandfather and my uncle they were all military. I didn't get to serve and I regret that I will my entire life. Thank you. I have a daughter I have wife I have a home it's all because of men like you.. thank you I don't consider myself a coward but I wish I would have joined. You in the other men you serve with you guys are my heroes. I can't prove but I swear to God I don't care about Kate's I don't care about iron suits I don't care about nothing all I care about is thank you God bless you and I hope you're rich I hope you have more money and you can spend. But I know it's not about money. Again thank you
From the old "503rd" "Death from Above" is what it's about!
The father of nine in my close friends, and an ex, was there, 8 November, 1965. I still remember the first time he saw this video, and recognized some if the faces in it,.including the medic who saved his life. Aside from his daughter's wedding, last spring, it is the only time I've even seen him cry.
The next day, he sat down, and told us the story, from his boots, on the ground that day. Something we never asked about, out of respect for him. A habit that I picked up, growing up around marines and sailors, who served over there. I remember their tears, for those who didn't make it back, and for all who did, forever changed.
For those who served, and who are serving now, thank you.
Wow. That's amazing. I hope to someday visit the grave of Lawrence Joel and pay my respects. Lawrence made history as the first living black man since the Spanish-American War of 1898 to receive the United States Medal of Honor for his actions. I also hope to visit Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver, Colorado to visit the grave of a Korean War veteran who died with no surviving family members but was buried with full Military honors at Fort Logan. Also buried in Fort Logan National Cemetery are Stephen Curnow and Kyle Velasquez; two of the victims of the April 20th, 1999 shooting at Columbine High School.
That was so beautifully said 😭
One of my all-time favorites. I play this a half dozen times each year. So proud, this is a story that can't be forgotten. Beautiful harmonious
boys...
I Was amazing to see a message saying this video made be inappropriate.
As someone who became a vet.
I think our foundering father's would be proud of this song as I see nothing wrong with it
Well done
1000% I love this.
This song is not offensive in any since of the word.
UA-cam is woke. Horrible move. Stop driving the wedge further and start bringing back peace. God love this county.
Be Blessed.
RIP Kris Kristofferson. You will be missed
Don Piercey. A Sky Soldier 1948 to 2016. RIP
Today is the 8th of November 2020. Salute to all those who died and survived
November 8th 2021. Praying a Hail Mary for all the fallen. Always listen to this song at this time of year 🙏🏻💪🏻
🇺🇲
I think this is a great honor to the 173rd Airborne from Big & Rich great job Big & Rich are all our military men should be honored for any of us there fighting for our freedom from World War 1 to Afghanistan Al should be honored in my opinion give those boys whatever they need and want God bless them all
This young man is a proud testament to ALL Americans. As an old vet I salute him and wish him a beautiful life.
I solute you sir... Thank you!
I was drafted into the marines Dec 1969. Fortunately I was made into a payroll clerk so I was spared of any combat. I came from a rural area and at least 95% of the young men in my age group were drafted during Vietnam. We had two who died in Vietnam and two who died shortly after coming home. You can say that war was a mistake but for we who served, it was still a war. Semper Fi to all who served.
Robert Lytle . Semper Fi Brother!
Thank you for your service I don't care if you were sitting behind a desk or if you had a gun running into battle thank you. You saved my family.
Robert Lytle thank you for your service, may god bless your soul
Semper Fi! To the few with our blood type
It doesn't matter if you were on the front lines or if you were behind the scenes (as you were a payroll clerk); but what matters is that you served.
Thank you for this humbling song … I watch this EVERY November 8 th… think of all who sacriced their only life… a lifetime ago .
Being an Army Navy veteran this song hits home thank you Big n Rich ..for cranking it up ...God Bless America 🇺🇸 🙏
Today is the day, 59 years later. My thanks to all who fought, are fighting, or stand ready to fight now or in the future for this great country. I'm grateful. Well done Lawrence Joel. Awesome job B&R.
As a 29 year Army, 82nd ABN Veteran retired who had 8 combat tours. My mind & body returned to the land of the big PX, but my soul is still missing in action!!! 🥲
Thank you for serving our country
Hear that. I was 82nd stateside. C/4/503/173rd ABN 66-67 Nam
From the most sincere heat I am greatful to you and your brothers and sisters who serve
Thank you for your service
How in the actual hell is this song go against guidelines. This song is so patriotic and stand for something. People Thea days are so sensitive
Ever occur to you that the trigger warning is for our veterans that can see the imagery and relive some pretty heavy shit?
May the Lord Keep them in his heart always.
first song that came to mind when i heard the news.. rip Kris
Remembering these horrible events is the sort of thing to make us yearn for Christ's return. He will reign with righteousness, justice and peace.
Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord. Romans 12:19
How the hell is UA-cam gonna flag this for "possible inappropriate content" This song always gets me on memorial day.
Thank you, for making this rip
THANK GOD FOR OUR MILITARY. ALL HEROS IN MY BOOK.
My Dad served 30years! WW2 Korea Vietnam. Died in 79. With Shrapnel. Still in his back! Miss him so much! He will always be my here!
I thank God every day Heroes like first responders & and the military
Thank you military we have freedom today because of our military I have military family members are vets from military
God Bless those who protect our precious freedom. Big and John, I ran the lights when you played this in Ocoee with the veteran on stage. This grown man cried at the light board that night. You’re true patriots.
Freedom is not free. Many a veterans have paid. Memorable times come back on each memorial days and November the 8th. Airborne Rangers lead the way. 🎉
The men who this song is about still lived in deadwood South Dakota saw big and rich in concert in deadwood and they sang this song. Deadwood SD is a home to these men
It's sad to have UA-cam say it's not okay for most people to see this. they should play this everyday on the radio. I can't wait to see the new movie coming out to see if it actually shows what happened.
On November 8 of 2020 I lost my grandma at 3 o clock in the morning, I watched her take her last breath, well I watched the ventilator take her last breath because she wasn't breathing on her own, she died because she was very sick, she had heart failure, liver failure, and kidney failure. RIP mawmaw I love you🙏🙏
My daddy was 101st Airborne. He just passed away 2 years ago.. he was my best friend and will forever be my hero and my angel. Until we meet again... ❤️
beutiful , there was a older gentleman who lived in. my town. who served in 1965 November 8th. and his story's made him a hero and unfortunately no one treats him with the respect he desurved except me because he was a hero. who risked his life for the future such as me and he died as a hero in my eyes and this song. matches the stories he had told me.
That does not surprise me nobody has any respect for anybody everyone looking out for number one.
I know a guy who served then to
I know I guy who served then to surprisingly he's alive still but he has a little limp but he's cool he taught me how to ride and shoot and aim good I love him
I show major respect for him
My neighbor served in wwII he was well loved in my neighborhood rest in peace Darrell
Why is this video age-restricted? Kids ought to see this... I saw this video when I was a kid and I remember being stunned by it. I later joined the US Coast Guard. Telling the stories of our veterans teaches kids to aspire for honor. I'll never measure up to the fine men this song is about, but I'll try my best. God bless Big and Rich for honoring these warriors with this song.
My dad was there hill 411 best damn man I ever met he's still here isn't supposed to be but I can't get enough time with him
During the Vietnam draft, dad got called up. Grandma went to mass. She spent months praying.
After basic, there were two busses, dad was assigned the second one. The first was sent to Vietnam, dad's bus was sent to South Korea to patrol the DMZ.
My family still prays daily for our service men and women.
Raise a glass to those who fell and those who came home. Heros all.
WELCOME Home boys !!! We love everyone of you! You never hesitated , you went and gave your ALlL ! Thank you 🙏
I only listen to this song a couple of days a year. Afghan vet but this song speaks and no other song that can jerk tears like this. Respect to whoever wrote this song
I Salute every Sky soldier of the Herd past and present on the 8th of November. Best Army unit I served in. And arguably the entire army. The 173rd has a rich history. That continues to this day. I’m among those who have been wounded with the herd. We lost many good men in Iraq and Afghanistan. I’m fortunate to still be here and to honor them.
This song always makes me cry. I enlisted when I was18 and arrived in Vietnam at 19. And like most combat soldiers I have dates in my memory that stand out. I was with the Recon Platoon of Echo Company 2/8 1st Cavalry Division . On the 8th of March 1970. We were surrounded , out numbered it was getting dark and the field we were defending was on fire. So yeah i can relate to this song.. There are no songs to commemorate the experience of what my friends and I went through or of the countless thousands of young soldiers who did combat in Nam. So when I hear this song I think back to my old friends . Gone now over half century and the tears come. Thanks for posting this
@@thomaslane9082 Hello Thomas. Im sure we did eat as you said some of the same dirt. There is a group called the Charlie family ( the formal namei on facebook is. Charlie company 2nd Bn. 8th cav (AM) 1969-1970) it is on facebook. A group made up of men who served in Charlie 2/8. Since my platoon Echo Recon 2/8 fought with Charlie company on several occasion including Fire Support Base Illingworth we are included in the family. It is a honor.The head of the facebook group is George Hobson. a former company commander . Their are also guys named , John Naylon, David Dedrick, Richard(Rick) Hokenson. Larry Spaun, and Byron(Lord Byron ) Lourd. If any of these names are familiar to you I suggest you reach out as they are all on facebook. That little fracas you mentioned in the Dogs head. When that troop from the 11th ACR got bushwhacked. Recon was involved in that as well. We made a Charley Alpha into a LZ that' was entirely too hot for my liking. It was a very interesting morning. . Im very glad to hear from you and take care. Honor and Courage
My uncle Sargeant Donald Layfield died that day! He was carrying the big gun. Not sure of the name of the machine gun but you would know. He was all muscle but lean strong and tall, the guy behind him had the ammo. Needless to say, they took him out. He was 20. My dad's baby brother. To this day, dad gets teary talking about him. I remember him, I was 6 when he died. He was always smiling, joking and a great person. I wondered if by chance you served alongside with him that day or remember him. I would love to know. Thank you so much for your service.
This tune always puts a lump in my throat. Thank you Big and Rich, it's beautiful. I have a friend who served in the 173rd as an airborne grunt and was there in 1965 - 66. He came home and studied to become a highly regarded plastic surgeon. I don't know if he was caught up in the LZ X-Ray fight, have never asked him and never will. When he does feel like talking about those days, I always listen. Even though he came home alive, he has the hurt that'll never go away. Thank you and welcome home to all of my brothers and sisters who served....... 67N2F, 201st Aviation Company (Assault Helicopter) "Red Baron 497" ROK, 79-80.
To all those who serve or have served in the United States Armed Forces, I salute you and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I raise a toast to absent comrades and fallen friends, fair winds and following seas until we stand the watch together again on the streets paved with gold. OoRAH!
Beautifully said!
Remembering these men 56 years today since their brave stand and sacrifices.

I understand that not too many people in this day and age, really truly know or understand about how truly horrific the tragic conundrums of the Vietnam War really was. As a child of a Retired USMC Vietnam Veteran, my Dad was one of the "lucky" ones to have survived the atrocities of the Vietnam War. It is utterly heart breaking to witness a soldier who is still fighting the same war that he left 30 years ago - and when that soldier is your father, it really makes you see things in a much more understanding and empathetic light.
I was born five years after the Fall of Saigon - which was when the Vietnam War had ended. I grew up watching how relentlessly haunted my Dad was from the unspeakable tragedies that he experienced while serving in the Vietnam War. I saw the way he simply couldn't help but to just re-hash the events over and over again, and what breaks my heart the most, is the way he suffered with so much that he just couldn't seem to find a way to forgive himself for... I'm not sure what those were, and I never asked him out of respect.
One thing that all of our Vietnam Vets had in common was the fact they all returned home to a grossly ungrateful country where they were commonly disparaged by their very own fellow American citizens. People spat in their faces, and commonly referred to them, not as patriotic soldiers, but as "baby killers". There was no recognition or support for the devastation that they had just been through, nor sympathies or acknowledgment for the soldiers who they had bonded with that were killed and had to be left behind.
I can only imagine the additional PTSD that this had to have had on many of them... So many of them were already struggling with all sorts of PTSD - but since PTSD wasn't yet a widely known or even understood condition yet - most of our Vietnam Vets were forced to simply deal with all the trauma they had just been through all on their own. Believe me when I say that their suffering was done in a deafening and absolutely debilitating amount of silence.
This is why I believe with every fiber of my being that it is our Vietnam Veterans who are some of the finest warriors God has ever put on this earth. They are the only soldiers in all of America's history who have had to know and feel the pain of their country’s insurmountable rejection and they had to carry on with the shambles that the Vietnam War left their lives in.
Because I wasn't born until 1980 - I am so glad that I didn't have to know a country that I love so dearly the way it was then... I can't fathom an America who rejects the soldiers who bravely answered the call to honorably fight for her... Then to turn their backs leaving them in the cold the way they did - it literally makes me so mad that I can't fight back the tears every time I think about how this must have felt for them...
I would just like to say to all of our Vietnam Veterans and to their families - that my family and I proudly honor, appreciate and acknowledge the tremendous service and sacrifices that each and every Vietnam Veteran so valiantly made. Today, yesterday and always. It is an honor to celebrate and acknowledge our Vietnam Veterans, and please know that your service will NEVER be forgotten.
As for me... Well... Some people dream of getting to meet their hero's. I was so very lucky to have been raised by mine. RIP MSgt Colin D. Broussard - USMC Retired - Operation Frequent Wind.
Sadly it’s sometimes hard for our people to understand that our military servicemen aren’t the ones who decide to go to war it’s the ones in charge of them at the very top who decide to do that
🇺🇸🙏✝️
Out of all veterans...the men who fought in Vietnam... I hold them with the highest respect
One song that comes back to me often when talking about the tragedies of war is linkin park's hands held high
@@chadlais1927 you have to remember vets go to war for all. And at times people's and younger people get it wrong
Amazing song. I am taking my military friend to the Big and Rich and Gretchen Wilson concert and I am paying for it. THANKS TO ALL OF OUR TROOPS FOR FIGHTING FOR MY RIGHT TO POST THIS!!!!!!
Hey Andelain.
How are you doing I see you have been also a fans to this channel like me that's cool.
For how long now?
Can't believe this memorial song has a viewer advisory notice. How flipping sad is that? Almost sadder than the story this song tells.
When this song came out
It was on the front of cherios box on a cd. As a promotion. I was around 10 or so. I played that song on that cd over and over and over
Here i am 30 and i recall every word of this song
Today is November 8, 2024. My friends funeral was today as well. He was 71.
Motorcycle accident kept him from vietnam.
God bless rip to all fallen
This is one of the reasons we stand for the anthem and flag. No matter how you feel about the war. These young men and women went where their country asked them to go. The flag and anthem represents all our soldiers all the way back to the Revolutionary War. We wouldn't have a country to live in if they hadn't answered the call.
Now this country is getting trasched by the Democrats. Trump loved this country we shouldnt have lost him
MAGA live on
Rest in peace my Brothers. The got me on November 18, 1973 in the Gun Ship I was flying. The date is close enough to rattle me.
Much love and many prayers for your Families.

I served with Kelly E. Whitaker (@1:10) in the 101st Airborne (3/187th). We became best friends before he left for Vietnam. I found out about his death just days before I left for Vietnam in December 1965. SFC Brayboy was my platoon sergeant in the 101st and I only found out that he died 8 November 1965 earlier this year. RIP and God Bless You!
Thank you for your service Bother!
thank God for our military.
Thank you for your service!
Today is November 8th, 2024. It's been 59 years to the day that these terrible events happened.
RIP to the men of the 173rd Airborne.
Blessings to those who served and survived.
Freedom always comes at a terrible cost.
May we never forget. And may these good peoples' memories be for a blessing.
My father was in the 173rd airborne brigade and is still going strong at 74 years old today
RIP Kris, you will be missed.
This was my brother-in-law's favorite song, he passed away on Nov. 9th 2016. My sister played this at his wake. I can't listen to song without crying. He was a 20 year vet.
i am not american but i tell you what, this song affected me more than listening to the Last Post. sad sad n told with true integrity.
My Father served with the 173rd in Vietnam after this battle. He was wounded in a firefight and recovered physically to a point but never mentally. I miss him....
8 Nov 2024 Never Forgotten 🇺🇲
Well, today is the 8th Of November 2020, 55 years since. If we don’t remember there story’s and tell them, they shall be forgotten, stay safe folks.
