My dad, and all my uncles were in Vietnam. I was raised by a generation of traumatized vets who all had the demons, struggles with drugs, alcohol, violent outbursts. My dad is still alive (82) and has only just started talking about his experiences (at my urging). I know it's something that weighed heavily on him and we both hope and pray that one day, we can experience a time on earth with no war. I'm glad they had the medicine of music to help them get through the horrors they had to face.

I lost alot of friends after the Vietnam War from cancer. It is devastating to loose so many. I now have seen movies and documentaries from the men who went through the Korean War in Okinawa and I realize why Dad always had nightmares and woke us all up from screams. He would never talk about what he went through. I don't ever want to see any one go through that.

I was in Chu Lai from Oct. 1967 through Sept. 1968. Bob Hope came to see us Christmas 1967. Somehow I survived it all. God was watching over me ! Paul 🇺🇸

My mother was a young woman during WWII and often talked about the songs that were popular back in the 1940s during World War II. She often said it brought back so many memories. I served as a combat soldier in the Infantry in Vietnam in 69 and 70 and I never thought that someday these songs would bring back so many memories. Some good and some not so good. I believe I am blessed to be 72 years old and enjoying these songs.....

I am 77 years-old combat soldier, who served in Vietnam, in 1967 to 1968 with 4/47 Mech. Infantry, 9 Infantry Division. I recalled in many occasions we would played "We gotta get out of this place," by the Animals when we went out on patrol. We did not care, if the Vietcongs would hear us or not, but we played that songs because it gave us courage.

My Daddy served in Vietnam, I'll never forget the first time he had flashbacks it was so scary, me and my lil sister was watching The Yearling and our dad was asleep on the floor leaned up on the edge of our couch, on the end, suddenly he started moaning and mumbling, sweat was popping out all over his head and neck, he started screaming and making the motions of carrying a gun and firing it, my stepmom yelled for us to go to our room, we took off and we heard dad scream a blood curdling scream and then nothing, I could hear him crying sobbing like a child, then my stepmom saying it's ok Billy you didn't hurt the girls I sent them to their room, he let out a sigh of relief that me and my lil sis could actually hear, and he said Father forgive me, I did what I was ordered to do.that was the first time I ever seen anything like that, and the first time I ever heard my daddy talk to God. I remember it like yesterday, he never spoke about his time there, 3 tours, I'm 51 now, he's been gone since 98, he was 52 years old, Vietnam was very hard on him.

Remember, we Australians were there with you, as in every single war since WWI. We had our joys and sorrows, victories and defeats in Vietnam. We were there.

I remember me and my mom taking my Marine Dad to the airport for his return tour of duty in Vietnam. When it was time for him to board his flight they kissed and hugged. But the most significant thing I remember from that day was another young military guy kissing and hugging his young lady who was crying. I can remember that day like it was yesterday. That was 1968 and I was only 5 years old. Dad made it back safe and I hope the other guy did too. To this day the music of the 60s and early 70s are my favorite.

I was born in ‘55 and was a paperboy delivering the San Francisco Chronicle through the mid - late’60’s so was exposed to the war and protests on a daily basis. The nightly news was a constant reminder as well. The local weekly newspaper reported each hometown soldier killed or wounded in action. The war ended 6 months before I turned 18 and my draft number was in the 300’s so I couldn’t be drafted anyway. This war had such an impact on our collective psyches… and politics. The bright spot is the incredible music that was produced in response to the turmoil and sadness.
My son is currently a sniper in the US Army following graduation from UCSC - hardly a conservative institution. God bless all who served and who are currently serving this great country.

I was 17 years old when I got to Vietnam-1966 through 1969 (My mom had to sign a waiver for me), I grew up fast and learned a lot, good and bad. (I am now 73 and still learning). I was stationed on the USS Providence and also stationed in Country at a place called "Monkey Mountain" close to DaNang,. I spent 3 tours of duty in and around Vietnam. 3 of my high school friends were killed in Vietnam, I was spared. I participated in the TET Offensive in Feb 1968, that was bad. Somewhere along the way I was exposed to Agent Orange (Nasty Stuff) I am now on disability for the effects of agent orange. When I was discharged and came home to the States we arrived in San Francisco, and there were a lot of protesters spitting on us and throwing rocks and eggs and called us baby killers. That was our welcome home. I tell you this to say to you, that whatever your position is or was on the Vietnam war, it was not the veteran who got us into the war, most of us went because we were patriots and loved our country. Blame the politicians, yes, but not the veteran. To all Vietnam Vets out there, you are not forgotten. As a previous combat Vet myself, I salute you my friend.

My dad was in the Navy early in the war, my uncle Terry in the Marines towards the end. Terry took his own life, and I never understood why until my own service in the 80s.
I spent the 90s doing what I could for the local veterans of that era, and talking with them before l helped me deal with my own demons.
Here's to no more pointless wars.

To all who suffered and died in these senseless wars, I give my utmost respect and thanks for your service. I’m 69 and still listening to these wonderful stories and music from the 60s and 70s. Music keeps us sane in all the craziness surrounding us.
