Annotation
Released in Lorton, Virginia, USA, the song "Long Time Coming Home" (Hillbilly Heaven Records # AGFA 468) by Larry Green, is a post-war 80s country pop song about the Vietnam Vet memorial wall in Washington D.C. The song started with the spoken-word introduction: "as they unveiled the statue at the Vietnam Memorial I would like to dedicated this song to all the men and women who fought and died in South East Asia". The body of the song praised those who fought in Vietnam for the country, taking a patriotic, and pro-soldier position. It referenced the Wall in D.C., and people and veterans marching to remember those that died.
