Merry Christmas to all our soldiers deployed away from their families for the sake of our freedom. Be safe everyone and thank you for your sacrifices. Salute!

I learned this song when I went to school at St. Coletta's Day School in the winter of 1972. I shared it with some friends of mine when I went to Irleand that year, on the last night before my family and I flew home to Boston.
I am a very basic person. I am a Widow, a Single Mother, and Grandmother. I am also a Vietnam-Era Military (USAF) Retiree who is living with not enough toilet tissue and no money for gas for the car. Being 61, I cannot seem to find a job and am eligible for no benefits. But I thank God for the decision to have been a member of the United States Military, serving all of you for over 20 years. God Bless All of You, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. TSgt Marshall
Soldiers, wherever you are this Christmas, (and everyday) Please know that there are millions of Mothers out here in the US and around the World that are thinking of you and THANKING YOU for freedom that we have and only because of every one of you! My Love to each of you and again, I sincerly thank you and may GOD BE WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY AND BRING YOU SAFELY HOME!
God BLESS OUR MILITARY. They are putting their lives on the line so that you can spend your life here in the USA among the family and friends that you love. The price of freedom is high. Let there be Peace On Earth and remember all those protecting you so that we can be the Land of the Free and The Home of The Brave. GOD BLESS.<3
Thank you God for our Soldiers both men and women.. Please protect them and let them know how much we love them and how grateful we are to each of them. I salute each of you.. We will welcome you home with open arms.
With very few exceptions, no one hates war more than the average soldier, who knows its consequences. Yet, what is the alternative - to give in to an enemy who hates one and will stop at nothing to destroy our country and its way of life? Appeasement was attempted with Hitler - it did not stop him, and I doubt it will stop Osama bin Laden. Soldiers bear a heavy burden, and the very least we can do is thank them, keep them in our hearts and prayers.
This is one of the most beautiful songs of all times! Thanks for your post. The video you included touches home with me in so many ways. My daughter left for Iraq 2 years ago to serve her duty in the National Guard. She departed on bad terms and has not spoke to me since she left. I have not seen her or her 3 children (my grandchildren) since. My greatest wish is for peace and resolution. Thank You for sharing!
This is so touching. I wish that this Christmas brings you, your daughter and her children together as a family, again. Life is way too short to hold anger and regrets. May your prayers for happiness be realized, and may your entire family be blessed with health, happiness and love.
This is not the way to do it, the Red Cross lists on their website the way to do it, cards addressed this way will not be delivered. By the way, the deadline was dec 7
i dont really like the version of this song, but its still pretty.
this makes me cry seeing all of the soldiers fighting for their countries; rather or not they are our enemies.
why cant there just be peace!!!??? why do we have to fight over fucking oil or money???!!!! why???
i want all of this to stop and all of the soldiers to come home!!!! and we with their families!!!! this makes me sad thinking about a man gone away and his wife and kids at home thinking about him! bring the soldiers home!
if you want to send a christmas package or even just a card to a soldier over seas go to your local army national guard armory and ask for the Units they will be able to give you contact info to send to soldiers that are over there serving now and it may just be soldiers in your community that you did not know they were there hope this helps some of you that want to make a difference in the christmas season god bless
All we know is that they deserve to be with their Family during this commercial season. "This is impossible with man but with God, all things are possible" Amen.
Shut up! I am on my second tour in Iraq, and it's Christmas Eve. I'm away from my wife and cild for a reason, and your "let's just quit" attitude is offensive to me. Don't use this page to score your lefty political points.

Firest quote in this video means well in war tense love freedom if we dont fight this war we arent going to have it so all you non war supporters go move to fucking Iraq and see how its going to be like if we stop fighting this war it will come to us to better we come to them we arent ever going to be able to get away from it

shut the fuck up devildog4life4. taps11 is making a good point, some people are just to stupid 2 forgive eachother and just keep fighting. If ur gonna comment on this video then make it a good one towards the soldiers because their fighting for us and some people are dissing them behind their backs. 5/5 on this video and Merry Christmas to the soldiers
cool video...but i like the part how some of them are carying weapons....to show how they really want to find a way to make "peace on earth"....i guess people do have to die so that there can be peace on earth......i guess thats how it works now.... :(
It's Vince Gill singing with his daughter. But, the message is what we should be talking about. THANK YOU ...Our AMERICAN SOLDIERS....The best in the world. The Bravest..........Semper Fi
Very nice song. But I'm 100% sure it's not sung by Josh Groban. There's a deepness missing in the sound of the voice and also a nasal reverberation that only Josh has. I agree the voice could sound like Vince Gill.
Thank you for your soldier videos. My boyfriend got the call we've been dreading and he his unit will be deployed in just over a month. I am proud of all of the soldiers fighting for our rights and proud of the people there to support them.
from all of us over in Iraq thank you for your prayers and thoughts...and to my family and friends Merry X-mas i love and miss all of you... Sempier Fi... Cpl.Hobby
My soldier , my son is in Iraq. I miss him so much. It just won't be Christmas without him. I am trying to be strong, but I do have some really difficult days.
I am an Airman in the United States Air Force who shares the great responsibility of preserving the freedom of every man, woman, and child in this nation. I am an American whose loyalty and integrity lies in my faith and devotion to the United States of America.
But most of all..I'm a human..with a family..and loved ones that I will miss greatly.
This means a lot to me and my friends. Right now one of my good friends is in Iraq..He is missing Christmas. Another one of my friends is leaving 3 days before Christmas..And I am leaving in 6 days. I too will miss Christmas. Thank you for your amazing videos!
Why can't every one just be "brothers" now-a-days? :( It's so sad...
