Vietnam veterans are remembered as young individuals who went to war as kids and lost their youthful dreams, and some their lives, for freedom and honor, returning as men with the horrors of war instilled in every fiber of their being and never receiving the respect and honor they deserved from the public or the United States government. The text affirms that God was with each of them in Vietnam, that He alone truly knows what they went through and live with every day, and that He will shine on their lives now and forever more. A particular UH-1 "Huey" helicopter also served in Vietnam, flew many dangerous and daring missions, and was present at the battle at Ia Drang in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam in November 1965.
