I served from 1966-68 in the US Navy on the USS Ranger, and when returning from my second cruise, and arriving in San Francisco in 1968, people actually treated us very differently. I am so proud that Bert Brady represents all Viet Nam vets in such a special way. Way to go Bert!

I support our troops, and I myself am a veteran. I'm just not sure what it is they are fighting for? It seems like the decision to be in and keep us in this war are not based on the values and ideals expressed in our constitution. Our troops ARE to be honored and supported. This war does not seem like one to be honored or supported. I believe the real support we can give our troops is to elect a commander worthy of them. one that would not ever do what has been done to get us in this situation. I wish the talents used and compassion expressed in this beautiful piece could be directed towards the kind of support of our troops that I believe would really help them. I hope those of you reading this will consider what you can do to really support our troops. I think this is a powerful and beautiful song and video. I support our troops, and I myself am a veteran.

It has been over 6 years that our country suffered its worst attack on continental soil and the military is still determined to bring justice to our attackers and would-be attackers around the globe. In past years I have seen a lot of commercials and stories, but none that brought me to tears like this one. I think it affected me more because I had a similar thing happen to me long ago. My unit was returning home December 23, 1993 from Somalia. We made a short fuel stop in Bangor, Maine enroute to Fort Benning, Georgia. We had been away from home for only 4 1/2 months, but it seemed like eternity. We all de-planed and were told to go in the Airport and hang out until called to re-board. I remember walking off the plane in the bitter cold and snow everywhere, none of us had anything warm on because we just left a dessert. Before landing, we all kept saying why did we have to land, couldn't we just get home? We landed at some god-aweful military time like 0200 (am). At first we went through a maze of corridors and it was a ghost town. We knew nothing would be open, so we were just trying to find the nearest snack & soda machine (American junk food). We turned a corner and there was a small group of local men, women and kids standing there with signs saying welcome home and god bless you etc... I never did catch her name, but a little old lady come up to me and give me a homemade oatmeal raisin cookie and a glass of coke. Not expecting this at all, I stopped thinking about getting home because I felt like I was home, and I was for that brief period of time when the people of Bangor, Maine adopted all of us for a few hours and made us feel very special. So here's to the folks of Bangor and all the Bert Brady's of the USA. You are the unsung heroes that make it all worth while. It is an honor to have met you, even tough I don't know your names. Thank you from an old Soldier and thousands more just like me. It is because of people like Bert Brady and friends that restores my faith in the American people.
