00:00.500 --> 00:01.800
- Nearly 50 years ago,

00:01.800 --> 00:04.007
we sent our men and women
to the jungles of Vietnam.

00:04.007 --> 00:07.330
(martial music)

00:07.330 --> 00:09.476
When they returned home,
they came home to this.

00:09.476 --> 00:10.730
(protesters shouting)

00:10.730 --> 00:13.140
For the past 10 years, we've
asked our young men and women

00:13.140 --> 00:15.400
to return to the battlefields.

00:15.400 --> 00:17.400
When they returned,
they were greeted warmly

00:17.400 --> 00:19.830
by fellow soldiers, family members,

00:19.830 --> 00:22.540
and even the forgotten
veterans of Vietnam.

00:22.540 --> 00:24.710
Hi, I'm Lieutenant General Don Campbell,

00:24.710 --> 00:27.210
commanding general of
III Corps and Fort Hood.

00:27.210 --> 00:30.590
On May 21st Fort Hood is going
to give our Vietnam veterans

00:30.590 --> 00:33.030
the welcome home they deserved.

00:33.030 --> 00:35.220
Alongside our brave men and women of today

00:35.220 --> 00:37.320
and in front of hundreds,
perhaps thousands

00:37.320 --> 00:39.900
of supporters waving welcome home banners,

00:39.900 --> 00:43.010
Vietnam veterans will march
onto the III Corps parade field

00:43.010 --> 00:46.540
so we can finally say
thank you, job well done.

00:46.540 --> 00:48.430
If you're a Vietnam
veteran and you would like

00:48.430 --> 00:51.150

00:51.150 --> 00:55.993

00:57.570 --> 01:00.430
Here in the great state of
Texas at the Great Place,

01:00.430 --> 01:01.913
we will never forget.
