TOP 100 VIETNAM WAR SONGS GREATEST rock n roll vietnam war music 60s 70s classic rock songs

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 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.

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.

My dad was in Vietnam war, all i can remember when I was young was how he was so angry,and drank all day never wanting to talk or do father / son stuff.by the time I graduated I kinda understood what he may have experienced as a young boy himself going through something so dramatic. He's gone now, I pray I see him again in the next life.To all who served, THANK YOU.😢

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 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.

As a Vet of Vietnam War this selection really gets the blood pumping and the memories come flooding back and I salute all my brothers and sisters who remember.

Be careful when getting your father to talk. It brings back memories that torment us. Everyone that served in Nam brought back demon's that will never give us peace. I went over wheni was 17. I'm 70 now and it has started to torment me again. Thank God that i have a wife that Love's me and try's to understand. May God Bless you and your Dad and may He keep you in his precious care!!! God Bless you!!!

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.

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.

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.

My uncle (recently passed away in March) was a Marine and was injured in 67 when he stepped on a mine..Semper Fi..my father was a jet mechanic for the Air Force and did four tours over there and he has been passed away for 6 years..i was to young for Vietnam but I have proudly served 8 years in The US Navy and I have always been very proud of all of OUR AMERICAN VETERANS PAST AND PRESENT AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRECIOUS TREASURED SERVICE TO AMERICA AND WE THE PEOPLE

To the 58,220 who didn't make it home from Viet Nam, we Honor You, We Salute You, and Thank you for your service, and sacrifice, may your Families be Blessed, and your Soul's, Rest In Peace !!!!! 🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺

Today is March 29th 2022. Also known as Vietnam Veterans Day. To all my Vietnam veteran brothers and sisters welcome home. I pray your life was good. I am currently battling the effects of Agent Orange but if given the chance I would do it all again in a heartbeat. I love this country. And again welcome home . May God bless you......

My precious husband was a Vietnam veteran. He went to be with the Lord just shy of 7 years ago. These songs bring back 😮so many memories

God Bless our Viet Nam vets🇺🇲

My dad fought as a fighter pilot USAF. He turned down a Purple Heart and got a silver cross. He was sent to many dangerous places. He told me on his deathbed that it was a bad wrong war. Made his career but he hated that war. I miss him every single day.

People are calling this old music. I must be old, because hearing this on the AM radio seems like yesterday. I miss my Brothers. Everyone of these brings back their faces, their laughter, their fear, their torn bodies, and their 21 gun salutes. Never been able to get over it. Still shake sometimes for hours, crying like a baby. Politicians sending off gung ho life loving boys to kill and die for money, it hurts. Losing friends hurts. Old wounds hurt. The most hurtful thing of all though is a whole generation of people who decided to put a bunch of communists in the whitehouse. To see the Constitution that we swore our lives and limbs to defend, destroyed by these liberal communists, that hurts. I have to trust that God is just, and He sees all of this. Loss is loss, it hurts. How we respond to loss, that is how we prove we are men worthy. I pray I am a man of honor. I know my sins are paid for, because Gods Son took my punishment, and still I struggle with forgiving. God Bless you Brothers, and may you find peace. I love you.

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.

My dad proudly served 2 1/2 tours in Nam. Fortunately he had the ability to talk about it . He had many slides and went to schools to talk and everything. Unfortunately it did not take care of his ptsd. Thank all of you veterans for your service. Rip Sgt. Mosser
