GOOD BYE VIETNAM - A VERY POWERFUL VIDEO

This U.S. Marine tells it like it is!

Goodbye Vietnam from Cal Rollins on Vimeo.

Goodbye Viet Nam: A badly needed reminder of the great sacrifice
that was made not only by those who didn't return but by those
who did return! A Very Powerful Video made in 2011.

Some had families waiting, for others their only family would be
the men that they had bled beside, there were no bands, no flags,
no honor guards to welcome them back home again. They went to war
because their country had ordered them to, but in the end they'd
fought not just for their country or their flag, they had fought
for each other too. We were soldiers once and we were very young
and very proud as well for we had protected the innocent victims
who were caught up the war through no choice of their own and had
only wanted to live in peace with their own families. We also had
each others backs back's covered and we would have sacrificed our
own lives to save their lives in the battles that we had fought.
