I am a two-time Vietnam Vet. I lost a lot of friends there, and a large part of my soul. When I was 18 and in basic I was called out to perform in the honor guard for a soldier's funeral - a friend of mine from high school. I have never stopped crying I think. The Dixie Chicks may have been reviled by many, but I can only say thank you for this song.

This song breaks my heart. I served in Afghanistan and on my second tour in 2010 a very nice American lady called Betty Hidalgo, sent care packages to me and my men, she didn’t know us, we weren’t American, but when I wrote to her and spoke to her, this is her story.
As a young girl her man proposed to her before going to Vietnam, he did not come home. She never met anyone else and dedicated her life to supporting soldiers overseas and it is my greatest honour to have called her my friend.

My brother is a Vietnam Veteran. Thankfully, he was one of the ones that made it home. This song makes me think not only of him but of my daddy, who was a WWII veteran. He, too, came home, but with many scars, both physical and mental. Gets me every time. To any vet who may be reading this, thank you for your service. And especially for the Vietnam veterans, Welcome Home!

I have never listened to this song without crying like a five year old. I remember, as a little girl, watching the soldiers who fought in Vietnam coming off the plane. God bless every one of them and may Gods rest those who never came home. May they rest peacefully in the arms of the Lord. ❤️🙏🏼

My husband was a physical therapist during early sixties. He was stationed at the hospital in Tokyo that the wounded came to right from the MASH units. These wonderful warriors were never forgotten by him. He loved this song. He passed away 21/2 years ago and we put this song on right next to his ear and he passed away to this song with one tear from his eye down his cheek. God bless all soldiers and those who love them and will never forget them.

My daddy was in the army and his buddy got hurt and my daddy carried him to safety even though he didn't make it... My daddy was my rock and I lost him to cancer 15 years ago and when I hear this song I think of his bravery and I give a huge THANK YOU to all our veterans... This song still makes me cry... It really hits home... I love and miss you daddy!!!❤😢

I was a British soldier for 30 years I had no one to come home to, I fought for my country in 5 wars then I met my angel who is my wife now and this song reminds me of how I met her and had to leave her but she's stood by my side through everything, all I can say is when I hear it it makes a battle hardened man cry

The Dixie Chicks saved helped me get through a very dark time in my life. Their music and lyrics resonated in my soul. I still listen to them and it takes me back with gratitude and joy when I first discovered their music and talent. Will be forever grateful and always inspired by their lyrics. ❤

I have decided to make a comment here after some thought. I have kept this info close to my heart for 53 years now and am getting old and wearing out. This song speaks directly to me. I dedicate this comment to Sgt. Jessee Frank Morgan and Cpl . Auburn Foreman. They both died beside me on a worthless little hillside in Dec. 1965. Both were my close friends. As a medical corpsman, I did my best but they did not make it and I was badly wounded. I have never posted their names before but this lovely song seems the right place to recognize them. Semper Fi buddies and Jesse, your son is a fine young man. I talk to him regularly and told him all about u and how u died.
