Freebird Posted October 7, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 7, 2013 I had not seen this video before and to be honest, it brought tears to my eyes. For those of you who served in that hell hole, we owe you much more respect than you ever received. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=LemllfcAY8A&sns=em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfVenture Posted October 7, 2013 Share #2 Posted October 7, 2013 Yes, Thank Them for their Service and Loyalty and Faithfullness... I remember the release of our POWs in 73. I was a young man at the Air Force Academy, a freshman, a Doolie so called, pursuring to follow their steps. We also honored them, for there was a special lunchen, in honor of the Academy Grad POWs. for they were seated at the head of each of the 10 man tables.

bongobobny Posted October 7, 2013 Share #3 Posted October 7, 2013 Thanks Don! It's only been since the last couple of years that I have even tried to deal with it, and I had it easy! Yes, those POW's are the true heros... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cvhs67 Posted October 7, 2013 Share #5 Posted October 7, 2013 Thank you for that. My Dad was in WW2, a POW in Korea for three years, and I had the honor to serve with him in Vietnam. Those men, for the most part, showed nothing but courage and character. God Bless them and Richard Nixon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ky. Rider Posted December 18, 2013 Share #12 Posted December 18, 2013 196th Infantry 71-72 on various firebases with Red Horse Artillery. Reunion this summer in D.C. and saw some of my buddies I had not seen in 41 years. Time marches on. Memories fade but are never forgotten. God, Country, Family, Friends!
