Related: About this forumTouching Troop Commercial Surprises You With An Unexpected Twist
This is one of the most heartwarming soldier commercials weve seen yet. Troops today are welcomed home like the heroes they are and have many resources at their disposal. Our Vietnam war vets were spit on, cursed at and treated like terrorists in some cases. They never got the respect they deserved when they came home. This commercial hits our Vietnam vets right where it counts with honor and respect. Watch this touching troop commercial and share it with your friends and family.
