I saw the Kingston Trio on my way to Vietnam in 1969 and heard this song. Being young and stupid, the true impact of the lyrics went right over my head. Now, at 77 and watching the world slide into chaos and violence again, the inevitability of the words, "When will we ever learn?" is a poignant reminder that mankind can't seem to stop slaughtering each other.

As a Vietnam veteran--when they sing "Gone to graveyards everyone" I tear up-----RIP Walter Soutar my friend and fellow soldier. When I saw his name on the Vietnam memorial I broke down. Such a needless war!

I am a Vietnam veteran. 50,000 soldiers never made it back alive All gave some and some gave all.

This brings back special memories. From when Vic Garrett was writing for the Kingston trio. RIP to all who have passed

Earlier today, my son & I drove up to Arlington National Cemetery. We took flowers to my Mom & Daddy. We even walked barely 20 feet away & laid a white rose on General Colin Powell’s grave. As always (with every visit), I look out at the sea of white gravestones…. and thank God for the undying sacrifices of each and every person who gave their lives to defend our nation….. 🕊️

As a Vietnam veteran, I get a lump in my throat every time I hear this song.

My grandfather gave his life for us September 1944 ❤

There is a quality in Mary's voice that tugs at your heartstrings. Judith Durham's voice had the same quality. I can't put it into words. Maybe it's just honesty. Two of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard❤❤❤

Hey 68 years and still enjoying the wonderful music of the 70’s.

How can they sing that without crying! I'm 70. Remember when. Tears are streaming down my face. I'm 6'2" 250 lb. Tough guy. Not that tough. I guess.

It's 2022 and we still haven't learned ! A Beautiful song for a hurting world 🌎 💔

I hate getting old. I remember when this first came out. So many have passed away in the last few years and so few to carry on. There are a few, but not many, who still know how to make real music.

These are the songs that I grew up with and will forever stay in my heart. Mary's voice is so pure and so deeply moving that it grabs at your heartstrings.

Remembering our Vietnam Veterans and all the young men who didn't make it back. This song, on March 29, National Vietnam War Veteran's Day. 🇺🇸✝️

What a childhood, I grew up to this, mamas and papas, snoopy... You know you're getting old when all your favorite stars and musicians begin dying off. The 60's and 70's had the best music.

Brings back so many memories. When people could really sing without all the synthesizers
