  • I've started a project, im making a tribute video for all 50 states...i just made the first 3. Check them out and subscribe if you'd like. Thanks.

  • I'm retired now, with a lot of Time to look around.

    I have several documents on the wall.

    One is an Honorable Discharge from the U.S. Navy. The other is a copy of the Constitution that I bought at the PX on my last day in Service.

    I signed up for the NFO program back in '68.

    Ended up the ONI.

    Steve Vaus tells it well.

    You serve him well.

    Thank you.

  • @pbs011 - thank you for your service and your kind words - Steve Vaus is a patriot - I love how he stands up for us - what a wonderful patriot you are - we need more just like you :)

  • @MotherReiver - Keep on doing what you're doing.

    Music and images are a language that all understand.

    God Bless,

    - Peter

  • @pbs011 - thank y ou Peter :)

  • This is wonderful! I am a retired Navy daughter & Retired Navy wife and I thank you for this great video and song.

  • @81aug - it is I who thank you and your family for their service! No words can truly express the gratitute I have for the sacrifices our military men and women make, but also their families. It is never to be taken lightly :) I appreciate your comment!

  • Very good video well done

  • @bubba007ss : thank you!

  • @MotherReiver My son inlaw will be heading to Iraq here very soon and then too Afghanistan I added it to my patriotic songs playlist, I felt it deserved a spot for others to view

  • @MotherReiver I wish YouTube would let us eddit the playlists, then I would move it closer to the top of the list

  • @bubba007ss - I am honored that you allow my video in your playlist - I will pray for the safe return of your son. God bless you :)

  • If You Can Not Stand Behind Our Troops, Please Feel Free To Stand In Front Of Them.

  • Well said!

  • Love this video, thank you and G'd bless

  • I'm glad that you do and may God bless you as well :)

  • MotherR - watched this the other day, but didn't get chance to comment...

    This is a beautiful tribute & song is so perfect.

    Our troops deserve our support & respect.

  • They do, and thank you for your lovely comment :)

  • They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

  • We shall remember them ..

  • Ahhhh an evergreen video for sure! This holds up as well as the day it was made, MR. Great tribute!!

  • Thank you, Blinky - I often think I'd do a new tribute, but I would simply be this one all over again :)

  • What a beautiful tribute to our heros!

  • Thank you, LadyofShalott111 - they are most definitely our heros :)

  • ATTENTION Tea Party Leaders...

    Please listen & view this incredible song & video from my friend Steve Vaus...

    (insert correct characters or do a search - (We Must Take America Back)

    youtube(.)com/watch?v=r0eoE9mi 9iw

    Send the video to all the Tea Party sites... have them play it over loud speakers... at your events... this hits a cord what is happening today!!

  • Awesome - Steve Vaus has most certainly vocalized what so many of us feel - I ready for Tea :)

  • I think his music does justice on the feelings of the people who had enough... We need his music to be heard across the country

  • I think many citizens are across the USA... mean ready for Tea... & REAL CHANGE...

  • Hi...

    MotherReiver...

    Just was curious... regarding the video There's an Eagle... it shows you posted it. Did you create it or make it? Just was curious...

  • Yes, I created it - after first hearing the voice of Vaus I couldn't hep but not create it - thank you for asking and supporting our national tea parties :)

  • You done a wonderful job... very professional... Steve Vaus should be proud of you & I am sure many fine vets are too... :-)

  • It's I who am proud of them - the images I used where the ones so prevelant immediately after 9/11 - I Wish Steve could put an itunes or amazon link so people could buy his mp3 from here :)

  • Wow!!! I have been pretty ticked off at this country since the election of a Socialist President to the UNITED STATES OF AMERIKA, but this song really lifted my spirits and reminded me what America is all about. Thank you so very much.

  • You're most welcome, I'm delighted it lifted your spirits - these are most certainly turbulent times and we need to hold on to the principles our founding fathers taught us :) No matter anyone's political viewpoint - I honour all those soliders whose debt I am in - and I support our troops 100%.

  • steve vaus is my dad! he is now buck howdy a childrens singer!

  • For real? What blessing - his voice inspires many - send him our love :)

  • oh thank you so much. i was telling him about it. and he was like really? i hope to grow up and be like him. i am an aspiring singer. :) who isn't though

  • That's wonderful! I'm sure you will - I'm so delighted we out here in Tuberland can put a smile back on his (and your) face. He is an inspiration :) I'm sure you will do well :)

  • You should be very proud of your Dad... his music is very uplifting. I am doing everything I can to get him on Beck or Hannity or Huckabee... (I won't give up till I do)... lol

  • I hope your successful, sgp4u :)

  • Steve Vaus is the true Voice of America.

  • He sure is - I love his music :)

  • An impressive moving tribute. Well done! As a current serving soldier I can attest to how much it does our morale good get a thank you or a pat on the back from our fellow Americans. Thank you.

  • Thank you - thank you for everything that you do - consider this a hug, a kiss, a well-deserved thank you - Nothing I can say is really up to the task of offering a proper thank you - words are so inadequate - but it's all I've got. Thank you, thank your fellow company and know I and other Americans love you.

  • AWESOME!! ((BIG BEAR HUGS))) {{Mother}} u r loved by me.

    Very moving tribute Big sis. Im happy to see a select few of us made tributes. I wish there were more vids like this, instead of the political hotair going around! Love this and our soldiers!

  • Love you too, Lil Sis - they are to be honoured - I love our soldiers! You are a class act Cookie :)

  • Steve Vaus is a very underrated singer/songwriter. He never went mainstream. He has a couple of compilation CDs that are wonderful. He sings mostly patriotic and spiritual songs. Well worth a listen if you ever get a chance.

  • When I heard him for the first time, he just blew me away! I couldn't do anything but use his music for this special video - I hope others become away of this talented musician - thank you so much for your comment!

  • Steve Vaus is very underrated as a singer/songwriter. He never went mainstream. He sings some wonderful patriotic and spiritual songs.

  • Awesome! I'll go check it out :)

  • Thoa will return

  • Thoa??

  • awesome video, loved it

  • Thank you, Gill :)

  • This is awesome & so are you! I think that it is deplorable that veteans who have served this country are committing suicide because our government is not giving them the help and support they need! Criminal! Good job and 5 superstars!

  • Thank you! No matter a person's view on the war, we must support our troops - they are doing a job from their heart to protect us - we can at least say, "thank you"to the Veterans and their families :)

  • I say thank you and want the US Government to support these people also! I am not arguing with you. I am agreeing and adding that the there is an epidemic of post service suicides because the soldiers are NOT getting the support they need and earned by our government!

  • It never occurred to me that you were, my friend! I'm in complete agreement with you.

  • Thank you dear...Amen

  • Amen :)

  • hi mother, you are a true patriot. how can we ever honor our fellow countrymen/women enough for the gift of our freedom they pay for with their lives and futures; to leave family, country, opportunity to venture into the unknown, to suffer (in mind/body in countless ways) to risk all...for love of country and freedom. i salute and thank them all; past/ present- our courageous countrymen/women. a bouquest of lovely red,white & blue stars for you, mother!

  • Incredibly well spoken; you said it best :)

  • nice:):)

  • Thank you, Ben :)

  • Good job Mother, very patriotic! We have Rememberence Sunday on the same day, two minute's silence at 11am and we all wear a red poppy; regardless of people's opinion about rights or wrongs of the war, we should all apreciate the sacrifices of our brave few, thanks again Mother:)

  • That's how I feel; no matter your opinion on war, the brave soldiers are there to protect us - and that counts for everything :)

  • You did a beautiful job of this, Mother. I'd never heard this song, it's lovely! 10 stars!

  • Thank you so much Minniver; this song was available publically in 2005 - I think it's fantastic :)

  • Yes, I honour all those good people who are fervently working hard to keep the world safe from terrorism. Thank you for your sweet comment, my friend :)

  • A worthy tribute indeed.. :)

  • Thank you Rob :)

  • I just wish now I had gone to town to watch the local parade and Memorial service.. Never mind, next year I'll go.. :) :)

  • ;-)

  • I suppose I do my bit to keep history and memory alive, by my Boxted and other airfield videos.. as well as the other videos of 'militaria' that I've got.. :) only just thought of that.. :)

  • Absolutely! I think we all do are part; and it's a very small world - so I believe that supporting ALL of our troops who are steadfast in keeping our way of lives alive and well and free - so someday, maybe, all we have is love.

  • Yes, lets hope so.. :) :)

  • good as it gets mom..nothing could be added,,but a tear ty

  • A good and heartfelt tear, my friend.

  • For all those who have gone to war to protect and uphold a belief in freedom and love.

    Respect, for something I don't think I would ever be brave enough to do myself.

    For a man who reflects the spirit I most admire in a soldier, I would like to say a special prayer for forgivenfoundone. A thinking soldier, brave, a family man, fighting as a pacifist. God bless him and all those who have gone before him. May he live a long life to spread his love.

  • Yes, Vetereans day is our day set aside to honour those who have given up their lives, and interrupted their peaceful times with loved ones to make sure we still can :) God bless ALL troops who fight the good fight, so someday we can put down our weapons and simply love one another :)

  • Excellent work.

  • Thank you MM!

  • i

    Salut!

    PEACE

  • I salute and wish peace right back at ya :)

  • Well done, it shows we love all the service men who are out there protecting our land and our way of life.

  • Thank you! We certainly do love them, without their protection, where would we be?

  • Lovely tribute Mother. I think of our soldiers (and give them my support) and veterans daily! Being that I live in my own little utopian world, I keep waiting for the day when all around the world, in all fighting and killing situations, they look each other in the eye, lay down their weapons and say, "I can't do this anymore", and embrace each other as fellow human beings. Oh yeah, did I mention I live in my own little utopian world?? :-)

  • It's a beautiful utopian world; who says we can't dream?  In the meantime, I praise my forefathers, fathers, brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles and ALL those who have fought for my right to remain free.

  • [praises pookie]

    What are those box things floating in the beginning?

    -montagical

  • That's just some background movement since this is predominently a "slide show" :)

  • Loved it Mother. Happy Veteran's day to you and all my U.S friends. In Australia our equivalent is known as ANZAC day; it is part of the fabric of our nation. I salute our great U.S allies for your courage and clear sighted vision in fighting the good fight for the ulimate peace of the world.
