  • This gives me a goosebumps.. because I cry slowly, thinking of my aunt. Who I never met. But I really wish I did. She died a year before I was born. Almost everyday, I ask my grandparents, cousins, and my mom to tell me about her. <3 I'll meet her one day though.

  • this song is soooooooooo sad!

  • who could dislike this song

  • fuck!!! I'm going to the Army!

  • @BeMoLski Good luck. I'm joining the Air Force pretty soon!!

  • I agree with acoreana24, this is a very touching song. As a veteran, it moves me that there are people out there that still care about those of use that have served our country. When I returned from Kuwait in 2002, there was no one there to greet any of us. Thank you Lonestar for a very beautiful song.

  • I love this song but its sad

  • hey guess what the troops are coming home from iraq, afghanistan you know, over there. send me your military and i will post it on my new website

  • Being a disabled army veteran, this song touches my heart deeply in many more ways than just one. Literally brings a tear to my eye. This will always be one of my favorites and there needs to be more like this...for all of my brothers and sisters fighting I love you...Keep your head high and always know that you are loved so dearly

  • Songs that mean something get 5 million views in 2 years, but songs that have no value whatsoever get 100 million views in 2 months? :(

  • An staff at the rehab program I was at always sang this song to us in my room. It was so great!

  • I give my respect to all troops that serve over the world . I am Married to a Canadian Vet, and am very proud of how the troops save lives , My husband served 12 years some places side by side with Americains and worked together to save Lives

  • Probably one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Thank you to all our soldiers. Stay safe and come home! God bless you and keep you safe!

  • when i hear this song i think of my mom who passed away on 4/28/09 r.i.p. mommy i love you and i know you are here with me each and every day of my life also i think of my kids who live with my father in Kansas i love you and miss you each and every day

  • 2:32 and 3:55 just killed me

  • No two choruses are the same!!!Take careful note of this seemingly oversentimentalised masterpiece...This is the spirit that built gigantic nations.

  • I'm a U.S. Marine and please stop fighting, because any soldier or vetern that read this is goning to hurt because of the threats, we signed up for this price, to fight for our country, it's just what we do, it's what we want to do, it's everything we ever wanted to do was protect and preserve our country, the greatest country in the world. I am proud to say that I'm already there and fighting fighting and doing what we as soilders do best at. Oo-Rah!!!! Semper Fidelis

  • Please get these SHIT ASS RAP COMMERICALS OFF MY COUNTRY SONG.

  • But... America is safe why would they need to be over seas to make it safe -_- i mean the only country that could beat America is China so why deploy so many troops in afghan when so many Americans have died over there in like 3 years. I mean they got Osama why not leave now?

  • GOD BLESS AMERICA....GOD BLESS THE ALL..

  • GO Ron Paul! The last honest candidate!

  • Hope everyone who watched this video looked at world in a slightly different way, and can see what our soldiers fight for. God bless them, never forget.

  • their not only serving their country but the whole humanity and democracy..for their uplifting the voice of how to be free..im not american but im always on your side guyz..

  • beautiful video, thanks so much for sharing!

  • its so hard to listen to this song because this song played at my cousin's funeral...rest in peace James </3...and thank you for serving us... :.(

  • 1:54 is where I die. Her tears...

  • 66 people have no respect for our military

  • this song makes me think of my crush... i wish i was with him....

  • my ex boyfriend and I loved this song...and still do. he still calls me and says" i just want to hear you say 'i love you'" i love him so so much<3 i wish he was mine agian

  • @boiicrazygirl2012 he stills calls and says that? why is he not urs?

  • @siriusgrl989 he has a new girlfriend. and i told him im trying to move on.

  • @boiicrazygirl2012 Knowing how difficult it is to moving on, I don't think he should be calling you and saying that to you while being with someone else.

  • @drewsky924 im not going to tell him to stop. hes a big boy. he can do that on his own.

  • @boiicrazygirl2012

    You need to get back with him. If he still says that and calls, It's worth another chance

  • @twiztidlestat no he cheated on me like 3 times.

  • my girlfriend said this our song once i ship off

  • who would dislike this

  • this song makes you realize that life is short and you need to spend as much time with your loved ones as possible cause one day they may be gone. love life <3

  • my face is leaking!!! i love you sadie..

  • These guys rhyme way better than those idiot rappers.

  • Jesus Christ. That first chorus chokes me up every single time.

  • r.i.p to my dad,anniversary this month

  • To be a solder is a great privilege, and to die for your country is far greater! But to die for political scum, the council of 33, pathetic blood thirsty Illuminati maniacs, hardens my heart, and makes heart sink for the un-called needless wars of greed! My heart goes out to all who did not return. God Bless you All !

  • this made me cry...i thought about my dead family members and a friend...R.I.P Erynn Hayward 1-15-11</3

  • dis song was played at my dad's funeral R.I.P. 3-9-75 to 4-14-11 <3 :(

  • @MrDkennedy75 sorry to hear that. 36 is a very young age to die..

  • I dedicated this song to my grandaughter, her daddy died at home 12/21/09 he wasnt a vetran but I know he is there with her and wanted her to know too.

  • A very beautiful touching song it put tears on my eyes, for I know how it is for I am a veteran's wife to. I pray for our troops asking God to protect them and their families. Thank you for your sacrifice to make us safe. God bless

  • everytime i listen to this i cry. this song is amazing, luv it <3

  • this song brings tears to my eyes, my fiancee is in afghanistan right now and ill be deploying in a couple months to afghanistan also, we have to leave our 1 year old son with my parents so we both can go do our job.

  • Its the comments on that video that get me strangers venting to strangers, and not being judged.

  • @FantomR1D3R look fucktard just because i pointed out the irony of one of the pictures i saw doesnt mean thats what i got out of this song. what i got out of this song i an incredible longing for home and a greater desire that the next tour my dad serves he'll get shot in the head

  • @Shadowfangtheemo And why r u saying fucktard to that guy or girl u have no repect for ur country or people

  • @christalmelon lol when the average american deserves to be respected he will receive it and this country is in my opinion the worse fucking shithole to ever live in

  • Comment removed

  • @Shirlykins what does that have to do with this song, you thumb whore

  • People can be thousand miles apart, but their hearts are right next to one another, holding each other, beating in sync, as if they are already there, as if they were on that concrete floor. Holding one another tight in their arms. Crying their eyes out with every tear. And seeing their loved ones not just in their hair, in their imaginary friends, or hearing their voice whisper in the wind. They would be right next to them, not letting each other go. Their love is strong, beyond belief strong

  • i love this song

  • Every time I watch this video, or listen to this song, It brings a tear or two

  • I didn't cry until I saw the soldier being handed his baby for the first time

  • this song is my new "venting" song. I <3 my sailor! Cant wait until he is home so he can meet our baby boy!

  • This isn't a message FROM home, it's TO home, so plz fix it

  • @blissfulmusic6 No its a message from home, to the soldiers

    

  • My cousins are always in my heart <3 I know, your guys are home and around. But I do know people who didn't make it back ... R.I.P I family members have served in each branch.. It's the Marines, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard & Navy who make America what it stands for today "The home of the brave" I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. COME HOME SOON!
