On my right wrist I ware a POW/MIA bracelet. James Wesley Jackson Jr is the name engraved on it. I have worn it daily for many decades. I will ware it until they remove it.

It's discouraging that this man was left by his company and not brought back home to his family 🙏

Extremely Powerful Documentary.. THANK YOU JAMES JACKSON. I PRAY 🙏🏼 YOU ARE RETURNED TO US SOON. WELCOME HOME, GOD BLESS ALL WHO SERVED...

Thank you for your service , Jimmy. May you rest in peace 🙏

This is the residual effects of men elected to powerful positions who use war as an extension of politics and paranoia.

My wife and I bought the bracelet for MIA Richard Spaulding in 1975. We never heard if he was found.
Forty thousand men
Went out to fight
When 40 Statesmen
Thought it right
Had 40 Statesnpmen
Fought and died instead
There would have been
But 40;dead

As a retired Senior NCO it blows my mind that none of the "leadership" in this Marine's unit had accountability of him during the medical evacuation or the redeployment of his unit. That is gross negligence on the part of his entire battalion chain of command.

I'm so sorry David nidel

Came from tiktok, nice documentary it was really good👍

This was a warning about abuse of power. Why is it not STILL RELEVANT!!!!!!!????

The vets didn't deserve that, the government was responsible!!!!

The BEST thing I ever did,
The worst thing I’d ever do,
The Marines showed me how to survive in War… I took it upon myself to do my best… For Corps, Country and Family….I was a Combat Marine in ICorps… And thats what I’ll always be…. Semper Fi LIMA-2-BRAVO 3/7
OUT

Here from tiktok, gonna watch this more then once.

My dad’s uncle was in Vietnam, I forgot what he was during his time there but might’ve been marines. (A lot of my family members have been marines)

We have over 80,000 MIA' S U.S. Soldier boys America's own 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

If I remember correctly at the signing of the Vietnam treaty 1973 and after U.S. Government tried cutting deals to give up our U.S. Honorable Soldiers .

Beautiful documentary about a horrible case. Hope the family someday gets the answers they want.

IM HERE FROM TIKTOK

seen your video on tiktok, I had family myself in vietnam, fw this hard.

frank woods, and the dean martin clip? fucking goat bro

Love Frank

My grandpas older brother came to the US from Mexico To go fight in Vietnam in hopes of getting his dad papers but he also went missing in Nam and the US never gave his dad any answers when he came here asking for them

Jimmy is in our loving thoughts and greatly honored for his courage and bravery.

With our new relationship with Vietnam it would be easy to get a team in there now to search for him it's the least we can do. Also I want to watch this again please turn on closed captions ❤

People should be ashamed! These men went through Hell and did what they were told to do, the politicians were at fault for the loss of the War. Thank you for your service, those that didn’t make it home, you will never be forgotten ❤️

RIP MR. DAN BULLLOCK WHAT A PATRIOT NEVER FORGET THIS 15 YEARS YOUNG K I D GOD BLESS SON NICE DOCUMENTARY GOD BLESS ALL T R U M P 2 0 2 4

A very good documentary and tribute. Not forgotten.

I am sure someone from every state will see this. Write your rep and senator, have them watch this video. We have a good idea of his whereabouts, move that whole damn mountain home if we have to. Get it done.

There wasn't much west of Khe Sanh except Laos. There was Hills 881 and 882.

The kid had the Claymore pointed at himself at first. I thought he was going to kill himself. When he turned it around you could read, "Front toward enemy" on the front.

A tribute that Jimmy would no doubt be proud of. Thank you for sharing his story.

It was a politi0cal war thats why you shouldn't let the government control the American people!! We make the decisions by popular vote

Bet money if he was related to a high ranking politician there would be an all out search of that site. Gone but obvioulsy not forgotten. RIP j.jackson

Their were three Marines left on an Island during the Last battle of the Vietnam War it was in Cambodia in 1975 , I wonder where was our president G. Ford or his buddy H. Kissinger ? Or Sec. of the Navy ,or Sec. of state? Or Some officers from the Ships out in the South China Sea? Were was all that honor and duty and respect that was not given back to those three alive and well Marines who were left to fend for themselves ? Ford got an Aircraft Carrier Kissinger was so hard to understand even speaking English but an attempt to get those three Marines back would have given me some form of respect for any of those in authority, But no one thought enough of them to Man the fuck up and help them ! My Dad had to sign for me to join as I was only 17 he said I was foolish and guess what He was right ! My executive officer screamed at me for getting myself and two friends off a Sand pan that was going back to Saigon , he ask me If I thought he would leave us ? I shouted back I'm sure it would not be the first time ! And Damn straight I was right !!! These are just what we know about , How many more do we not know about??

WOW! I just have so much to say. I have a lot of mixed feelings about this war mostly from things that have directly affected my family. But I'm going to not let my feeling get mixed up here as that's not at all what this is about.
WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING thing for you to do for him! This took so much heart and soul. And every single piece shines thru and thru! I'm POSITIVE Jimmy's looking down shining upon you with a HUGE SMILE! This case has been treated SO WRONG by the government of the USA! But what's knew?? Sadly, I no longer have ANY HOPE these things and situations will EVER CHANGE! The loss of him is just absolutely HORRIBLE! I pray that family has been able to have some sort of peace after all these years. I don't know how or where they'd get any peace over this. But I pray they've found a way. I feel like there was a HUGE HUGE SLAP IN THE FACE AGAIN when the school district / system decided to tear down his memorial!!! I absolutely realize things change and sometimes changes need to be made. But for GODSAKE........ WHY COULDN'T THEY HAVE AT MINIMUM RELOCATED HIS MEMORIAL?? This just doesn't make any sense in the least! What a shame!! That literally brought tears to my eyes again.... just even I thought my crying was finally over! I hope the powers that be over this decision are completely embraced over their ridiculous decision!!
Rest in Peace Jimmy!!!

I just watched a video where someone was shopping in Vietnam and found American Service Men Dog Tags for sale in at least 2 different shops. Those Dog Tags NEED to come home.

Hope your found soon marine

This horrible war NEVER should have happened.

James remains must be searched for and returned to his home for final rest. NO MAN LEFT BEHIND!

VietNam 1968-1969

In 1968 I had a neighbor and a friend lose their brother to this senseless war! I remember praying so hard this war would end. When it finally did, those poor soldiers were treated so badly when they came back home. All because of the hippie peace generation. I am so sorry this happened to all who lost someone. I will never forget any of you. RIP TO ALL WHO SERVED AND NEVER CAME BACK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

Fight for a hill win that hill then give it right back smh wtf

That beginning flarred my ptsd up for a sec i could smell diesel

Just after North Viet got independence France, They wanted to cooperate with America for united country but USA denied and support the corrupted dictator of Nam. That's the reason of meaningless sacrifice of Life. Ironically at the moment USA and Communist Viet are doing well in peace. All the problem from Politician and military businessman.

RIP WARRIOR.

Turning on and abusing Vietnam veterans like that is disgusting!! They didn’t choose to be there. If you were one of those people back then, I hope you have had a miserable life.

What always gets me is the poor treatment these men went through. If the hippies believed these men to be killers, why on god's green earth would you want to spit on them and antagonize them?

Accounts of Vietnamese and Laotian refugees in post-war 1975 reports of Americans held in captivity. Adjacent areas communist re-education camps

I must say, this is one of the best docs I have watched. I fear for the existence our country. I have completely lost faith and hope in our government as it is now. With the advent of the gen z ers, millennials, femmmies, and abc community, it is my opinion, we are one “RCH” from becoming a third world country. Just my thoughts.
