"John Black's songs have touched me deeply as he and I recall my husband's words and warnings about Vietnam." Dorothy Fall (wife of Dr. Bernard B. Fall)
"John's heartfelt and meaningful lyrics take you back to memories and then bring you home." Dick Merchant, 1/7 Cav., Ia Drang 1965
"To say I'm impressed really doesn't do it justice - WOW. I'm really, really blown away at how well it came out - really something to be proud of, and I'm truly honored at having been asked to play for you on these projects. It's truly a wonderful, wonderful thing you've done, bringing light to a part of our history that has been so overlooked, and doing it with some really powerful music....my stepfather is an ex-Vietnam vet (1st Air Cav, 1967-69) and I grew up listening to stories of the things that went on there. This kind of brings it all home to me. I'm going to order one of these for my stepfather, as I'm sure he'd love to hear this." Marc Miller, Bass Player, MeetMeInVietnam
"Your words are humanly disturbing, inspiring, haunting. I was just young enough to escape that particular nightmare, and I am humbled by the profoundly heartfelt affection and pain with which you recall the experience and those who died for it." Mike Wiegand
"Well, the hard part was telling you how emotional it was for me to listen to your music...I was lost in another world...the music became personal when you sang about me. I am deeply touched and well, I think you are just a wonderful brother vet." Diane Carlson Evans, RN, Founder and President, Vietnam Women's Memorial Foundation, Inc. and Vietnam Veteran
"Your music has opened many doors to my past which I had sealed...I can't put into words how much I appreciate it. You have been able to put into music many of the things I have felt but could never say" Vietnam Veteran
