Vietnam Battlefield Tours for Veterans

Vietnam is a place that had a profound impact on many U.S. veterans. The hurt, pain, and suffering on the battleground haunts survivors to this day. Many who left the Vietnam battlefield around 50 years ago never imagined returning.

Now, that is changing.

What was once an involuntary trip that stripped many young men of their youth and innocence is now a journey for closure, healing, and peace. Participants develop a new connection with Vietnam and strengthened bonds with other veterans and locals during their experience.

Vietnam battlefields and life-changing experience

Veterans who participated in the Vietnam Battlefield tours had a life-changing experience they never thought they would have. For some, it provided closure after all these years. Revisiting some of the old battle sites gave veterans a sense of release that they never thought they would experience by returning.

The people living in those battlefield sites have also moved on. Locals greet the groups of visiting veterans with open arms and hospitality. American veterans can meet Vietnamese veterans and chat about their experiences. There is no hate and animosity. Instead, the experience creates a sense of peace and brotherhood between the two groups. Both factions find solidarity in the enormous loss and personal sacrifice that took place because of the war.

Sometimes, the trip is an opportunity for veterans to reunite with long-lost Vietnamese friends they haven’t seen in over 50 years.

When the veterans return to the U.S. from Vietnam, it is entirely different this time. They return home with incredible memories and a new image of Vietnam. What was once a place of horror and trauma becomes a place of renewed hope for the future.
