Whether the folks stateside were "hawks" or "doves" or just "confused" about the war itself, what Chris manages to get across, in interviews like this, was just some idea of how far just a little taste of "home" could go, to those in service in Vietnam. Or in any of the wars before or since. That she's still in service to the soldiers, I think it shows she still stands by her motto, "Do the right thing." God's Blessings, Chris. Well said.

It's not about the policy ,boys; it's about the men who were there. They had no say in the policy; only a duty to perform. I was a grunt in 1968 with the 101st; hearing this woman on the radio was incredible. Thank you Chris. I can't believe some of the anti war comments on this site.

Chris Noel radio show was the only bright spot we had that is when we got to listen to her. As another GI said you are beautiful inside and out... maybe I'll get to meet you before I leave this world. If not you'll be on the most high throne of heaven, for your truly are the most remarkable lady I know and they should do a movie about your life for what you've done in Vietnam.

She's right. Our baby boomer citizens will never alter their dogmatic beliefs against Vietnam Vets, including most of the mental health professional workers. She hit that right on. In my view, most mental health workers also currently remain incompetent and politically tainted regarding treatment of war vets; although, now it is not largely anti-war political bias, but is also now heavily money-cost driven. She also got another big one: in the end, you have to just keep helping the Vietnam Vets as best as you can. They deserve it. Myself, I will never, ever let anyone say that any of our WWII Vets aren't just as good as Vietnam Vets. And as General Abrams concluded, after the utter destruction of Giapp's million man invading army back in 1973, the South Vietnamese have shown themselves to be more than capable of handling ANYTHING the communitst can muster against them. And regarding the war itself, General Abrams said it best: The South Vietnamese are WORTH IT. The truth is, that General Abrams, Chris Noel, the US Veterans and the S. Vietnamese won the war. The TRUTH is important. LATER, in 1974 and 1975 our treasonous-cowardly-selfish (you pick the best descriptor) US Congress abandoned our worthy ally and our Vietnam Vets by cutting off money and supplies to the S. Vietnamese. That is the true history. And that is what will be remembered and concluded generations from now. The TRUTH will live on long after we are gone. Thanks to General Abrams, Chris Noel, and all of our US Veterans and S. Vietnamese who fought successfully for their country. Joe Reed, 2/5 Marines, An Hoa, 1970. Thank God for Chris Noel.

I was not in Vietnam but we heard her loud and clear in other places too. She was the voice of home. And we loved her.
