Great to see 2 heroes come together after all these years.
Respect to all Vietnam veterans
Absolutely heartwarming ❤
Those who never been in a battlefield will NEVER understand the bound these veterans have. Very emotional...
This warms my heart that two old very special friends can find each other again... this is what makes this a great country... the daughter is special for aiding and abetting... the only people that I remember when i got home that weren't openly hostile or indifferent...yep my family... veterans get treated shabbily by the country they served...it ain't right....
This warms my heart. Greatest generation.
That would be the world war II vets but these guys too are part of it
wow..... such an awesome story
That was a great story.
Wonderful daughter!!!!!
Oh this is beautiful ❤

@soxbearshwks8988... Thanks, you for your service and sacrifice during the Vietnam conflict and welcome home Sir. I dedicate these two songs from SSgt Barry Sadler 1966 record album "Ballad of the Green Beret." to you your fellow classmates and all of our Vietnam Vets. 🙏
"I'm a Lucky One"
SSgt Barry Sadler
I'm going home my tour is done.
I'm going home I'm a lucky one.
But I left friends behind me.
who won't come home no more.
Yes many friends remain forever.
On that bloody shore.
But at night when I sleep I know my dreams will be.
About my friends I left across the sea.
I'll hear verbal young men harn laugh again out loud.
We'll all be together in a happy crowd.
But then I hear the sound of bullets whining overhead.
Feel the crash of morters and all my firends are dead.
My friends they fought and gave their all.
My friends they died for freedoms call.
As my dream is ending they'll come and say goodbye.
Though I'm sound asleep a tear I'll cry
And they say something which fills my heart with pain.
Tell them about us Sadler don't let us die in vain.
I'm going home my tour is done.
I'm going home I'm a lucky one
"Salute to the Nurses"
SSgt Barry Sadler
After the battle after the fight
many owe their lives to the ladies and men in white
And all of the men in this war torn land
salute the nurses of Vietnam
They know the awful toll of war each day
they know more than any the price we pay
A soldier his hands too burned to write
a nurse takes down his words through the lonely night
They have gone to the front where men fought
in the night from Pleiku to Qui Nhon
where war these men fight
Many a wounded soldier pain is eased for a while
by opening his eyes to see a nurses smile
To each of the wounded on the operating shelf
these nurses give a part of themselves
I know every soldier to the last man will
sometimes say a prayer for the nurses of Vietnam
After the battle after the fight
many owe their lives to the ladies and men in white
And all of the men in this war torn land
salute the nurses of Vietnam

This rules
Why do you explain the exchange betweet two vets when you have THE VIDEO OF THEM MEETING? Show me the video with sound. Wtf
Perhaps there was no sound on the video or it was poor quality.
If I had the money, I'd fly every Nam vet who could make the trip every year, put them up in a hotel, pay for all expenses.
Thank you! I am a Vietnam Veteran, U.S. Navy. I live in Minnesota and have seen the Traveling Wall 4 times. If I ever get to see the Wall in Washington D.C., that would be great. If not, that is OK also. I was a Pearl Harbor sailor for 5 years and had 2 deployments to Vietnam aboard USS Joseph Strauss DDG-16. After the 1972 deployment I transferred to USS John S. McCain DDG-36 and was aboard for the last 3 months of McCain's 1972 deployment to Vietnam. 15 months total in Vietnam. The last 8 months were off the coast of N. Vietnam after the Easter Offensive of 1972. I have no desire to ever go back to Vietnam. I will leave the Honor flights to Washington D.C. for those who served on land in S. Vietnam. Their Vietnam War experience was up close. I was an FTG while I was in the Navy. We set up the computer and radar to fire the ship's guns. We fired over 25,000 rounds while I was on the 2 ships. We were fired on many times and took only one minor hit. Our Vietnam Nam War was spent 7-10 miles off the coast. I don't hold a candle to the ground pounders.
