My Father served in Korea was a POW the forgotten War. Went on to do 4 tours in the 'Nam nothing but respect. I did 25, all I want is to be left alone, and Politian's to quit using me and those like me as bait to make money.
Have you read that paragraph about those of us who just want to be left alone! God bless you and your father! Some day, being a politician will be the most dangerous job in America.....
Mr. Tony@ your Father was a Human Hero, he never knew that war was a war against Humans. The conditions was created, the same in Rome, China, Russia. Alliens gay lean perus have the control of this war throw the Humans Time. *Those* are similars to humans. *Those* speaks inverse, *those* name bad to good, so we are killers, unmorals, so on. In the city of Huancayo is their headquarters, I just hope to do something, *those* are afros-indians hybrids alliens, I am lonly, very few people have no implants alliens, so They have other genetic origins in other Nations eventhough their extern aspect, and they are at the total disponibility of alliens for *those* make them its transgenetic elements. Some time I will leave alone to *those* dead, or laugh dead is the same. At yours Jaime Zosimo Sotelo Contreras
I served in Vietnam with the 4th Aviation Bn., Co. B, "Gambler Gunships" in '66-67. I was a crew chief/door gunner. Served with a bunch of great guys . Some made it and some didn't. I make it a point to watch at least a couple times a year some Vietnam music with actual gunship footage just to remember all that I served with and the ones I didn't. Welcome home!!!
My father in law SSGT Domingo Vasquez passed away on July the 6 2023, he was a member of the 173 airborne. He earned 2 Purple Hearts, bronze star with two leaves, he served 3 tours and was shot multiple times , thank you and welcome home sir
@@juandelarosa9998 he was a man’s man. A funny guy, laughed at anything, a smile from ear to ear. He worked with us on occasion with my platoon as I was the platoon leader and on night patrols I akways welcomed his expertise
OH-6 driver, Scouts, Air Cav Troop, 11th ACR. Thunderhorse. I can never forgive those who sent us, and many more to other God forsaken places, to fight for nothing at all. I have a photo of me and another pilot standing in the doorway of our hooch. I came back, he did not. I have a memory of visiting a classmate in the hospital. When I looked through the door into a ward, it was so distressing I had to step away. Those and other memories fade, but they come back when I hear a chopper or an old song. My doctor's parents fled Nam and one day I mentioned my regret about the war. She said, "No, you did a good thing. My parents would tell you that. My whole family is grateful for what you did and tried to do." She is the only person who ever had more to say than a polite thank you for your service. It was good to hear it, but 50,000 dead, half of them after Nixson said he had a plan, outweigh any thanks. Our public memory of wars and why we fight, and why we very often should not fight. fades very fast. People blend it all into one, Korea, Nam and all the ones that came after. All the fine young men, well trained and proud, going off to some "Stan to fight for people who hate us. God Damn them all, and God help us.
My husband and brother in law served in Vietnam and an older brother in law was at Iwo jima when they raised the flag. I admire them all. They all came home alive.
Go Airborne. This is my lullaby that my Dad sang to me when I was a youngster. Thanks Dad. You prepared me very well. I love you and miss you.❤GENERAL LA KENNEDY CUOMO
My father served in the corps during the Korean War O that's right,the politicians called it a police action.Tell that to our brave military who served & didn't come home.God bless them all! Hoo Rah!
Believe me when I say you would not of wanted to go to Nam. It was a political money making business that LBJ and McNamara extended out to make them and their buddies rich. Lot of lives wasted because of it.
I'm drawn back this HUEY ghost ship. It's been going on 56 years and I still hear the whop whop of the blades and the constant Pow- Pow of my M60. I can no longer wake up to quiet. My wife of 56 years is gone too. She's no longer able to pull me out of the nite-mare. The battle I'm talking about is 'Ia Drang Valley.' We were grossly outnumber but we had something they didn't have; The Huey. That was more than what they had; bodies. Well, its a given that I have PTSD crud; so what? I'm now 80, my wife is gone "SO WHAT?" Maybe, just maybe, I can set the Whop of a HUEY and make the best I can with what ever I got. HOO-RA!
You sound just like my Husband! He was Airborne 101st 68-69! The only base he ever talked about was LZ Sally, his unit was heavy into Hue! I'm sure he there was a lot more he did, but that is all he talked about! It was brutal. I'm sorry about your wife, I stuck it out, until his health totally failed, and he needed 24/7 medical care. I have PTSD from him! That is why I watch these videos, it's like he wants me to feel what he felt! He passed Valentines Day, 2017, Agent Orange finally got him!
My late uncle David did a tour with a Combat Engineer battalion in like 1969 I think. He lugged around an M-60 when he was on guard duty. My dad said it was the most stressful period for his family. Always watching the evening news and looking for his name amongst the dead. He made it back, locked his uniforms in his foot locker and probably never opened it again. He never spoke about his service. When he passed away in 1999, my dad and their little brother went to clear his stuff out of his house. They split some of what was in his locker with his service cap and platoon training albums going to my uncle Joe and the locker, boots and uniforms coming to me. My dad foolishly gave away David's A-Class uniform about 10 years ago. I gave my cousin's son the one jacket, one of the jackets he wore daily this year at my uncle's birthday party. When my cousin's son was very little, my uncle gave me what he'd taken for my personal collection. Of what I received all those years ago, I only have his goot locker and "bus driver" hat. To all those who served and came home to a hateful country, welcome back and thank you for your service. You didn't get the recognition you deserved, but you are still loved.
This is the story of a Vietnam Veteran who wanted to take his Road King and go out for a sunset ride, get out of the house type of thing. He sees a ghost squadron of Hueys flying over just as he gets to the edge of Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz, overlooking the ocean. He doesn't realize that they have come to take him home. This is called "LZ in the Sky" It sings perfectly to Ghostriders An old 'Nam Vet went riding out and took the scenic way, Up on a crest he stopped to rest and watch the end of day. When from the coast the mighty ghosts of Hueys thundered by, Warriors in the ancient winds, like angels filled the sky. The door guns still were glowing, the crew chief's eyes were steel. The blades were black and shining, and the prop wash he could feel. A bolt of fear shot through him as they shook the rocky ground, He saw the pilots flaring hard, and he heard that whooping sound. Feelings burned, and thoughts returned, and memories flooded by. From his saddlebag he drew our flag, and raised it to the sky. He held it there for all who dare to fight in distant lands, For all those names carved in flames, who died in Vietnam. Every name on that Black Wall had just one life to live, And greater love still has no man but that his life he give. From landing zone to "Welcome Home" a rest you'll never see. Until you let His outstretched arms grant you eternity. That 'ole "Nam Vet won't soon forget the day up on the crest, The grand parade the Hueys made, an escort to his rest. Now he speeds on silver steads, and rides the streets of gold. That one bright day the legends say, "God medevaced his soul" Dedicated to Don Sawtelle, Class of '61 USMA Rifle Company Commander, Big Red One
I was a military officer in the Brazilian army and I always admired those who left their homes, especially those who fought in the Vietnam War! Congratulations for the video and thanks for your services!
Os únicos que merecem Parabéns são os vietnamitas pois eles defenderam seu país, Na próxima vez que tentar invadir poderão não voltar ninguém vivo pra contar história. Respeite o vietnā.
I myself severed united States Navy. Did a Cruise on the Franklin D Roosevelt. 1997 we were on stand by. Enjoy every Moment of it. Thank you Military Men and Women who Sacrifice their lives for protecting our World. Retire Navy Veteran ⚓️
Sad how they were treated horribly when returning home, they had to live through Hell then got back and met Satan in the civilian population Edit: Bless all the Vietnam vets
One of my favorite song of Johnny Cash and a great video: all perfect. My great respect for all soldiers veterans and victims: thanks for service and welcome home. From Italy
My first military "ride" was on the UH-1. One of the coolest aircraft I ever rode in or flew. I would go on to the A-10. It will always have a place in my heart. God Bless those of the 105th ROTC detachment.
When I see these videos I try to search for my best bud bill he served he was awarded medals and when he came home he lived just like he was still in country and gonna catch a bullet. He and his best friend my husband rode motorcycles and fought every where they went. They lived hard and fought twice as hard
I never appreciated here in the UK when I was young the terrible situation you guys were put in during and after Nam. Nor even the real meaning of all the great songs we were listening to I appreciate you vets might think it's crap but the film "First Blood" made me realise and start looking at it differently. God Bless you all and stay safe
Nicely put together!. I still remember, seeing Vietnam, on the 6:30 pm news, every night. Plus,a very close friend, was a POW. I feel for all of the Vietnam War Vets. Thank you,Guys.

I flew in a Huey to JTFB in 1987 when I transferred off my ship near El Salvador. Check the bird's flight records. It was built in 1967 and saw combat in Viet Nam about the same time I was in the Pac.
If you weren't there, you have no idea. We were proud of not being a part of the 1st. Aviation Brigade. We belonged to the 173rd. Airborne Brigade (SEP.) Where it went, we went. We stayed with the Brigade when all 1st. Aviation Brigade birds were evacuated during a tropical storm which came ashore in our AO. Many of us sat in our Hueys during the storm waiting for missions. Casper Aviation Platoon flew rescue missions during the storm, including at least one night mission (My bird.). Casper saved many Troopers' lives and the lives of Vietnamese villagers. It was our job. AATW!
Me: 70 years ! I was a teenager during this war ! Still listing the Vietnam music to remember the pain and sorrow the soldiers had to feel in this bloody hell !,to all the brothers in arm whish you luck and happiness . Lots of love from Ine in the Netherlands,😥✌️🎶🤭👍💫🦋🦋🦋🙏🙏🙏
Graduated from a 3yr RN program, went to enlist but was turned away because I didn't have a Bachelor's degree. Now 50 yes later at the end of my nursing career and still feel the way I did then. To all who served so much is owed.
My Father was a POW in Korea. Could have gotten out of the service. I was old enough the remember to Rember my Father coming home. My big brother going. 6 months later seeing my big brother in a box. I did 25.... Do I want anything ? No just to be left alone. Sad when People remember when it is cool to remember.
Back at you Brother and all of the rest of my Brothers and Sisters who served there. 145th Combat Aviation Battalion 1967 & 1968. Slicks, Gunships, Dust-off, Loach, & Cobras.
And saying Welcome Home just once isn't enough. My neighbor Robert Sere came home in 71 from the 3/5 Marines & still remembered the anger at not being allowed to deal with the people spitting in y'all.
Our brother PFC Vernon Sprinkle was in the 173rd Airborne -503rd Infantry Brigade he was in Nam Feb 1967 til Nov 13th of 1967 when he was KIA @ DAK To Hill 873-God Bless them all who served
If it was the rock version without lyrics then it was The Ventures (1961version had waling ghosts) OR Neil LeVang (1961 version had waling women) BOTH MEAN AS HE*L SOUND over load speakers. I bet it was LeVang version scare the he*l out of Charlie knowing death was knocking on his door. With lyrics it was Marty Robbins or Burl Ives. It was not The Outlaws (1975), Johnny Cash (1979).
16th SOS at Ubon, THAILAND. AC-130A 54-1623, Spectre Gunship, "Ghost Rider" - UA-cam by Bill Estes. The Vietnam War gunship paint black. Currently at Lockheed Marietta,GA museum in the next county over from me.
I used to ride into a landing zone, one foot on the skid, the other holding my rifle. Now I look over a bridge and get dizzy. Figure that out. Old Shrapnel ass 198th Light Infantry Brigade 1968...where we seperated the men from the boys.
Looking at these videos. A bunch of army aviation companies called them selfs Ghost Riders. I was with D co 158th Avaition company at Ft Campbell. They called them selfs the Ghost Riders as well I have a safety award from the Two years with them before going to the 1414 the Avn Co the Panama canal zone 77-79. Just like being back in Nam with out being shot at
The 335th AHC was a component of the 173rd for the first half of the time the 173rd was in Viet Nam. We were called the COWBOYS. So it fits in well with the COWBOYS chasing THE HERD.
My Grandmother worked for Bell in the weights and engineering dept. In the early 60s. She was there for the introduction of the Uh-1 and the Ah-1. No doubt I've been a rotor head my 53 years
I have all respect for everyone that served in the Vietnam war I was born when it happened but I have to say it was a war that never should have happened and all the ones that lost their lives is disturbing to me but they was doing what they was told to do God bless you all but all the lives that was lost should not have have been
All respect an honour to you all. I was in my previous government military here in South Africa. We had the Angola war, or also known as the "bush war" for 23 years. From 1966 till 1989. We, the soldiers had won the war, but our politicians had lost the war. Now we have a new government since 1994, and more people are getting murdered in a year than ever before. It's a war zone down hear, and best of all. Our government doesn't requegnice farm killings. Our farmers, who provide food for us, getting murdered in very brutal ways.... 😢😢
We must never forget the Vietnam War Veterans. They went to do the best they could in the war the politicians wanted for their financial gains and much more.

This is the story of a Vietnam Veteran who wanted to take his Road King and go out
for a sunset ride, get out of the house type of thing. He sees a ghost squadron of
Hueys flying over just as he gets to the edge of Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz, overlooking the ocean.
He doesn't realize that they have come to take him home.
This is called "LZ in the Sky"
It sings perfectly to Ghostriders
An old 'Nam Vet went riding out and took the scenic way,
Up on a crest he stopped to rest and watch the end of day.
When from the coast the mighty ghosts of Hueys thundered by,
Warriors in the ancient winds, like angels filled the sky.
The door guns still were glowing, the crew chief's eyes were steel.
The blades were black and shining, and the prop wash he could feel.
A bolt of fear shot through him as they shook the rocky ground,
He saw the pilots flaring hard, and he heard that whooping sound.
Feelings burned, and thoughts returned, and memories flooded by.
From his saddlebag he drew our flag, and raised it to the sky.
He held it there for all who dare to fight in distant lands,
For all those names carved in flames, who died in Vietnam.
Every name on that Black Wall had just one life to live,
And greater love still has no man but that his life he give.
From landing zone to "Welcome Home" a rest you'll never see.
Until you let His outstretched arms grant you eternity.
That 'ole "Nam Vet won't soon forget the day up on the crest,
The grand parade the Hueys made, an escort to his rest.
Now he speeds on silver steads, and rides the streets of gold.
That one bright day the legends say, "God medevaced his soul"

My grandfather is/was one. He passed away in 06. I miss him so much. He never would talk to us about Vietnam.
I flew in a Huey to JTFB in 1987 when I transferred off my ship near El Salvador. Check the bird's flight records. It was built in 1967 and saw combat in Viet Nam about the same time I was in the Pac.
Love seeing the UH-1B and C models fly.
My HUEY was an HU1C. Quite an improvement over the -A- and -B-

i proud of you ...my father
If you weren't there, you have no idea. We were proud of not being a part of the 1st. Aviation Brigade. We belonged to the 173rd. Airborne Brigade (SEP.) Where it went, we went. We stayed with the Brigade when all 1st. Aviation Brigade birds were evacuated during a tropical storm which came ashore in our AO. Many of us sat in our Hueys during the storm waiting for missions. Casper Aviation Platoon flew rescue missions during the storm, including at least one night mission (My bird.). Casper saved many Troopers' lives and the lives of Vietnamese villagers. It was our job. AATW!
Me: 70 years ! I was a teenager during this war ! Still listing the Vietnam music to remember the pain and sorrow the soldiers had to feel in this bloody hell !,to all the brothers in arm whish you luck and happiness . Lots of love from Ine in the Netherlands,😥✌️🎶🤭👍💫🦋🦋🦋🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for you service and sacrifice
Graduated from a 3yr RN program, went to enlist but was turned away because I didn't have a Bachelor's degree. Now 50 yes later at the end of my nursing career and still feel the way I did then. To all who served so much is owed.
My Father was a POW in Korea. Could have gotten out of the service. I was old enough the remember to Rember my Father coming home. My big brother going. 6 months later seeing my big brother in a box. I did 25.... Do I want anything ? No just to be left alone. Sad when People remember when it is cool to remember.
I love you guys forever! You were the heros of my youth and the solid patriots these days. God Bless you all.
I listen to this song nearly every day on my Google Nest while making breakfast. A very cool attachment to this video!

RIP to all my brothers that didn't return home
And saying Welcome Home just once isn't enough.
My neighbor Robert Sere came home in 71 from the 3/5 Marines & still remembered the anger at not being allowed to deal with the people spitting in y'all.
1/84 FA , assigned to the 9th infantry!!!! Sad times !!!!
I was born March 71. Helicopters were and have been my life
Our brother PFC Vernon Sprinkle was in the 173rd Airborne -503rd Infantry Brigade he was in Nam Feb 1967 til Nov 13th of 1967 when he was KIA @ DAK To Hill 873-God Bless them all who served
A squadron of the AC-130 gunships also is called Ghost Riders. They play this song on combat missions, the rock version.
That what I remember
If it was the rock version without lyrics then it was The Ventures (1961version had waling ghosts) OR Neil LeVang (1961 version had waling women) BOTH MEAN AS HE*L SOUND over load speakers. I bet it was LeVang version scare the he*l out of Charlie knowing death was knocking on his door. With lyrics it was Marty Robbins or Burl Ives. It was not The Outlaws (1975), Johnny Cash (1979).

" Justice is Served. "
This has always been my favorite song.
Our dad was 173rd very proud family 🫡🇺🇸
The 335th AHC was a component of the 173rd for the first half of the time the 173rd was in Viet Nam. We were called the COWBOYS. So it fits in well with the COWBOYS chasing THE HERD.
My Grandmother worked for Bell in the weights and engineering dept. In the early 60s. She was there for the introduction of the Uh-1 and the Ah-1. No doubt I've been a rotor head my 53 years
I have all respect for everyone that served in the Vietnam war I was born when it happened but I have to say it was a war that never should have happened and all the ones that lost their lives is disturbing to me but they was doing what they was told to do God bless you all but all the lives that was lost should not have have been
All respect an honour to you all. I was in my previous government military here in South Africa. We had the Angola war, or also known as the "bush war" for 23 years. From 1966 till 1989. We, the soldiers had won the war, but our politicians had lost the war. Now we have a new government since 1994, and more people are getting murdered in a year than ever before. It's a war zone down hear, and best of all. Our government doesn't requegnice farm killings. Our farmers, who provide food for us, getting murdered in very brutal ways.... 😢😢
Mis respetos a tod@s aquellos que pelearon y dieron su vida en la guerra de Vietnam.

The 189th at Camp Holloway were the Ghost Riders.
Hồi ức một thời tươi đẹp

We must never forget the Vietnam War Veterans. They went to do the best they could in the war the politicians wanted for their financial gains and much more.

UH1bs. If flown with the doors off, the frames would develop cracks. When replaced with the Ds, the Bs became gunships. The Ds slicks.
