  • What a beautiful tribute; thanks for sharing and take care!

  • RIP SAPPER LARCOMBE

  • dont let these people get to you. as prior army soldier i know one of the things i fought for was freedom of speech. that is what they are expressing. i may not like it, but if we try to censor them then we are stopping what my brothers andsisters have died for. everyone will be judged later in life for their actions and words. -Freedom isn't free, but it's worth fighting for-

  • Such a beautiful song, keep up the good work. and thanks to the men and women serving our country

  • This video made me cry! Theres one thing i will always do that is support my troops and work my way up that position where i can fight right next to them

  • Freedom Isn't Free. Thank you!!

  • made me cry............

  • This song allways brings tears to my eyes.

  • I will never for get all the americans who give their lives for america and nomatter what will allways support them.

  • Kiger Brannon band THANK YOU THANK YOU. I am the brother of a soilder and this song has hit me square in the heart. My brother returned late last year from his first tour and is getting ready to deploy at the end of this year. I know what it is like to be waiting for a letter or a phone call. As a family waits and wondering if there loved one is coming home. Please keep up the good work you are doing. Thank you

  • I support all men and women of the armed services.

    My father was an enlisted army specialist

    My uncle was a enlisted marine gunnery sergeant

    Both my great granfthers who watch down on my family and i were both navy master chiefs

    I am going to ba a future marine i hope to have the support of people like you.

  • amen i salute you soldiers and your dear families may god be with you may he put a shield about you and comfort for your love ones when they see you come back home thank you for keeping my family safe my churchdoors open my right to vote and the beauty i see everytime i walk out my front door god bless america and you and yours hooooraah

  • great video and great song. iam a NEW YORK NATIONAL GUARD RECRUIT. Where can i download this song.

  • You don't have to support our military, everyone that has hated on them here. As a Marine I just ask that you pack your bags and move to Canada.

    oorah

  • A beautiful song. God bless your father. I am a future enlistee.

  • Hooah...

  • honestly we just ask that our brothers and sisters each make it home. keep singing and supporting. and keytoothed i hope you change your views man, my unit is getting deployed in april 2010 and i just want you to know that its songs like these that keep some soldiers from losing hope when bullets starts flying your way. i am ashamed that people like you exist. idk anything about a pipeline and i really dont care, im doing this for my 3 daughters and my son. idk what to call it besides my duty.

  • nstbif2009

    THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO GOD BLESS YOU AND I'LL SEE YOU IN THE FUTURE

    FUTURE MARINE

  • regardless of the reason as to why these songs are sung does not matter to us. were just glad that they are, because it reminds us that some people appreciate us and what we do and it also helps some of us keep our sanity. you [keytoothed] may never know what it is like to go to war, for whatever reason, and quite frankly we dont give a shit. we as soldiers NEVER question civilians as to why they dont serve we just go on with our duties. we dont ask for simpathy or anything else,

  • Many country songs are written about subject & topics that come from the heart. This one of those songs. Making a video of this song is something I am most proud of in my life. My father died with 2 purple hearts and a bronze star for bravery. I/we did this to show our love and support of our soldiers and their families and to raise money for charity that helps them.

  • Not ONE dime has been made on this song by either the song writer or the band!  We are not famous, just a local band playing in Pittsburgh. We are honored to read that this video has had some positive affect and shows our respect for our soldiers and their families. All those fight for us know that the USA is not perfect but the WORLD is a better place because of it!! Tim Brannon

  • i am a proud sgt in the us army (i have been deployed to both iraq and afghanistan for a total of 3 tours) and i have always been proud of being a soldier because i know that i am doing something that most men will never dare to do for whatever reason. ive led soldiers in to battle and im glad that they all made it back. each soldier has their reasons for being here and regardless of that reason we each make sacrifices so that our children will enjoy the freedoms that we had.

  • keytoothed-

    all i can say is f*** you i'm sick of you people talking crap about our soldiers/marines you have no idea what the go through or what they do. if it wasn't for them you would be some ones bitch. if you want to sit and talk shit about them go and stand in front of a flying bullet lets see if you will. some may come home in a box but at least they can say they did something to help change the u.s.a maybe instead of talking shit you can thank them.

    i'll be there soon to help

  • @jtheis2011 What the soldiers go through, they go through for a lie, and has nothing to do with freedom, it's to maintain full spectrum dominance in the region, period. As for being someone's bitch, I've trained with marines in the dojo, and they're not any different from anyone else, so don't give me that load of crap. I do support the troops. I send them copies of Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo. Good reading material. Check into it.

  • full spectrum dominance as in going to a soccer match, laughing, voting, hell even lose a soccer game yeah they were so much better before the USA came. hey maybe you should leave this country if you on't like it. Saddam killed thousands just because of their religion in his country. hell he even killed soccer players who lost a game, yeah he was the good guy and we're the bad guys. moron!!!

  • @cowboyjd25 The USA is as much the bad guys are the "Persians" were in The 300, even if you're so stupid as to think it was the reverse.

  • @keytoothed I'm not going to curse you, though I'd like to. I'm not going to insult you, though I'd like to. What I'm going to do is pray for you. That is the most powerful thing I can do, and prayer is powerful. So, I say God bless you. god bless America.

  • HOW DARE YOU! how dare you call our servicemen and women brainwashed moronic fucktards! for same on you! shame on you and your family name! what reason have you to judge our soldiers! they protect you ass from anything that might harm our country! i dissagree with a lot of the politics these days but i have never stoped supporting our military forces! with that comment you have ohhhhh i cant evan think of all the deaths you take lightly. all the solders that died to protect you!

  • if u dont sopport the WAR HEROS then stop lisning to the music that thanks them. but remembur wat they have done and sacrificed for ur freedome to call them "fucktards"

  • Beautiful tribute to our fallen heros and the ones who have returned god bless

  • god bless our troops! God bless our country. Please keep our soldiers safe while they are all away. I am proud to be an Army Wife. Support our troops til they all come home.

  • My husband is In the Az Army National Guard. He isnt currently deployed, but a few friends of mine are. This song is very important for people hear. It brought a great sense of pride and a sense of sadness for those who have lost their lives and the families still dealing with the pain. I am a proud army wife and I am very proud of my husband and all the men and women in the armed forces. God bless America. Support our troops til they all come home!

  • @c4jeff Stfu you cunt, you wouldn't have the balls to go fight for the country even if it wasn't "just to make some bankers benefit"

  • there's more to it then that you idiot most of it was started by a different side

  • It shows that you don't have someone fighting over there, that you don't understand the pain. Well I do, my boyfriend is over in Iraq fighting for our great country. Yes I don't agree with somethings, but that gives no right for you to make disgusting comments like that.

  • You had better pray that I never run into you. cause Id knock you on your ass as well as others like you. Its trash like you that dont deserve what you have.

  • My dad recently severed a seven month tour as part of his extension in the army. He only took the extension for me to finish secondary school. If my dad got killed out there, it would be all my fault. Now i pray for my cousin, who is going to Iraq next week. God bless you Scott

  • come home soon joey and ryan i miss you bro and my wonderful ex and amazing ex boyfriend i sapourt you all so much.

  • Ive been in the Army for a couple years now...Every time i here a song like this or any song about soldiers i instantly get the chills and an overpowering sense of pride. Thank you to every one supporting us out there.

  • Toby Keith didn't write this song. The Kiger Brannon Band did. I am very moved by this song. My friends brother is about to leave for Iraq for 7 months and it really got me thinking about what people will do for this country. Thank you to all the men and women who have served or are serving. Good Luck Justin and come back soon!!

  • Never into country music but Toby Keith Sir, you turned a City Boy to a Country Man ! God Bless Our Troops !

  • this is a very very very moving videoclip...good song too,.. its Toby keith am i right ?? ... keepon going mate... may god bless the United States of America,. and may we prevale on our enemy

  • I have had 2 cousins come back in body bags since this started, i have a cousin in Afghanistan there now and now my baby brother will be leaving for Afghanistan in a couple of months.

    I supported their choice. I stand by them and their families. Freedom is not cheap by any means. All give some...and some gave all.

  • GREAT SONG good job guys....

  • How dare you spew hateful nonsense! My husband is serving, I served, and my father served. You are right the military member is not free. We give up many rights that average Americans do not even think about! How sad that you are so full of hatred. I will pray for you and hope that you will find peace.

  • God bless you bekahchandler. thank you all United States military

  • may god bles this country its solders and all who suports them

  • i love this video. my fiance is in afghanistan and hopefully comes home in three months. i am so proud of him and all the other soldiers. they dont get the support they deserve, so thank you all who give them your support with your hopes, prayers, and thoughts.

  • I give my fullest support towards your husband.

  • go bless all the troops and thier families. To everyone out in Iraq come home safely.

    One of my best mates is out there...

  • Very good video!!! Just like YooperCaptain it did bring a tear to my eyes also... I am planning on joining the military in the near future.

  • Wonderful video. It brought tears to my eyes. As a Vet from Nam this hits home.

  • Thank you for what you did for us by fighting for this country in Nam! Have you ever noticed the number of views of the patriotic videos (under a million) on here versus some of the silly videos like "A Pug Falling Asleep - Very Funny" (over 2 million)? What does that say?

  • @KigerBrannonBand The big problem with the people of this country is that, since our Civil War, we have not had to fight on our streets. We know we can go home tonight and our home will be there and so will our families. This is not true in many countries. England was almost leveled, so was Germany, Japan and many others. Now we are at war in the Middle East and the people there don't know if they will live for the next hour. We say we honor and support our Troops? Some do but most don't.

  • soon as im done with highskool im going to our military for 4 years

  • I am a Vietnam Vet and am very proud of your decision. Our country needs more kids like you. Congratulations on your bravery.

  • Its men and women like that, that makes me proud to be a soldier. We fight for are family, friends and loved ones. It was are choice and we will fulfill are obligations we made. Dont cry for us for we will always be with you!

  • This We Defend

  • my husband is a marine and it scares me to death but he is proud and so am i....

  • this song always makes me cry because i lost my dad in this fucking war

  • So very very sorry.Semper Fi!

  • Im sorry about your father! What he did few have ever done, been a soldier. He died for what he believed in and it takes someone to be a soldier. Its people like your father who make me proud to be a soldier. Just remember he will always love you and he will be waiting at the gates of heaven for you because a soldier never leaves a loved one behind!

  • far by one of the best military videos ive ever seen

    god bless the red whit and the blue

  • hi! does anyone know where i can downloade this video? thank you so much

  • mike,john,and Rodriguez we never forget u brotherS in arm and best friends since 2004.rest in peace brothers..we never forget u and Ur families.

  • We will never forget! We MUST never forget!

  • so sad to lisen to this

  • support IRAQ fallen fathers and mothers!!! Dont forget about them to.

  • nice song how is sing it

  • with my enlistment now and know that the true support needed is a change in foreign policy. Our national guard isn't protecting the correct nation anymore. we have to examine the policy makers and raise hell until they listen. I found this on another page. "There are currently over 1,200 Marines serving at over 130 posts abroad, in over 100 countries." with -16,000 vote in a FL county 2004 election, voting is no longer the option to bring'm home...

  • while deployed it is great to get care packages from home b/c it is a great reminder of where we come from and that we do have people back home who cares. I'm finished

  • wow, my brother said he would be home,...and hhe didnt come back,..and 2 weeks ago, i discovered that my fiancee wouldnt be coming home either,....miss them bothh so much

    god bless the troops

    PLEASE BRING THEM HOME SAFE

    TO MANY LIFES TAKEN ALREADY,...I PRAY HE TAKES NO MORE...X

  • awesome!!

  • Cant wait until i leave!

  • Thank you very much for your service! We love ya and will be thinking of you while you are gone!

  • do u guys have a cd or can i get this song off of itunes?

  • You know I have a brother in the Marines and a brother in the Navy who are both over seas right now. My brother in the Marines is in Falusia, Iraq. He is in a batallion of about 500 other people, and me and my mom worry about him every day. You know, until he actually left for Iraq, we weren't on the best of terms. This video has made me realize that thats not the last thing I want to have happened if the worst were to happen. This video is the best I have seen in a long time. Thank you.

  • this is a really good song it really shows what a family will go through when some one in there family is in iraq

    thank you for this video and song

    semper fi

  • Many of the military officers we knew are DEAD. After viewing Confessions of An Economic Hit Man and War Made Easy we realize something isn't right. Our military loved ones are underpaid hit men! These wars are manufactured for profit$ of WarBiz, Inc and now 4200 troops are DEAD. Corrupt elected officials don't care about us because we're 2nd class citizens. To go & do the duty is based on some good intentions but morally killing others & dying for lies in unjust war is wrong.Protect yourselves.

  • i love this song. i lost my leg in iraq. my best friend hampus died there. his son is the only one alive.

  • We are honored that you liked the song.

  • Awsome video, im crying right now. Thank you for supporting our troops. My cousin just came back from iraq and is going back in Feb. And my BF just enlisted in the Marines. Just want to say thank you, it means alot to our family,and other families as well. THANK YOU!!

  • You are welcome. Please know that our thoughts are with you and your boyfriend while he is away.

  • some of my friends in my old army unit alpha company 2/506th are fathers i pray for them each night i am rejoining the army soon and will be makeing the same sacrifice as them once again

  • Excellent song in tribute to our soldiers and their familes. It tears my gut our when our soldiers and their families don't ge tthe respect they deserve. I thank each one of this men and thier families.

  • Im not sure if you remember me but we met on the train to PA. I keep watching this video over and over and love it more each time. Yesterday my friend died in Afghanistan, he had just gotten engaged. my BF leaves Sept 19th and my other friend the week after that. Thank you for this video. It has touched a lot of people

  • Of course I remember you. You are a wonderful young lady and it was pleasure meeting you! I am so very sorry about your friend! Please convey the information about T.A.P.S. charity to them in hopes that T.A.P.S. can help them in their time of need. I am saying a prayer right now that your BF and your other friend are kept safe so they can return to you with lots of hugs and you can have many train rides together traveling the country together! : ) Take care! Tim Brannon

  • Awesome vido! I am crying so this might sound like gibberish. Thank you for making this beautiful video. My fiancee is in the Army Reserves. And an Former active duty Air Force soldier. I am so proud and honored to have him as my future husband. Thanks again is all I can say!

  • You are welcome. More importantly, however, thank you to you for your service to protect our country on our behalf! Please tell your fiancee that we really look forward to having him come home and get married to that very special someone...YOU!

  • this song is so sad. I don't normally cry, but during thins song i was crying so hard. this song is like talking about my life. my dad went to war in the middle east in 2003 and i have not seen him since.

  • God Bless you and your war hero father on this very important Memorial Day. Although these words don't come to close, all we can say is thank you for your sacrifice. We are all living monuments to what your father and all the brave soldiers have sacrificed. May we all live free and proud while we strive to honor what your father and all soldiers gave to us to enjoy.

  • thank you for this song i have brothers and sisters in the armed forces basically it's every soldier sailor airman and marine is my brother or my sister regardles of race or religion i fear that half my battalion is gone for good

  • this is so sad

    xx

  • sad, but a amazing video. so much heart, so much sadness.God bless AMERICA. May God save our troops. everyone soldier need our respect and our love. We all, will never forget.

  • thank you for making this video

    its good that some one is willing to support the troops with things like this

    i can personally say that it is a lot harder for a soldier with a family then for a single soldier as im learning the hard way my feancee is in the states im in germany waiting on leave to go home

    so i just wanted to say thanks i know that it was ment for the troops down range but it help those of us in countrys who have to leave loved ones

    SPC lafond us army mp new father

  • Families have to give up a loved one while they serve on our behalf regardless where they serve! We support you no matter where you are because you are representing us and sacrificing for us at home. Regardless of politics going on right now, I'm sure I speak for every American. We support you whole heartedly and ALWAYS know that ok?! There are people everywhere that care about YOU and what you are doing for us. Regardless, of whether we know you personally, we care greatly about you. Tim B.

  • i know i just wanted to say thanks

  • Way more than you know!!! Our sincere sympathy on your loss and thank you for your tremendous sacrifice for us all! We created this video in hopes it would help (via the T.A.P.S. charity) people exactly like you who has given so so much for us. We can never repay your but we will remember your father, brother and you when we bend a knee in prayer. God Bless & Keep You With Us for a Very Long Time! TB

  • hi.

    i wanna let you know my thoughts and prays are with you i know what is like to lose a love one to the war [[my daddy]] i hope your husband comes home saftly

  • this song made me cry my dad went to war and died so it was hard watching this video without crying

    R.I.P. Thomas K.

  • this video was touching...im young and new in the military never in my life thought this is where i would end up. its so hard to leave everyhting you have to know that you might not ever come back. ANd its very frustrating when people who have no idea talk like they know. i would love a civilian to go over there for just a week and see what its like. Little things like this are nice and help alot when your so far from home. i personally thank you.

  • Please realize that most people here in the States have such respect & gratitude for all that you are doing for us. Please ignore those who don't!! Just know that we love you, we care for you and we want you to come home safely to your families. We don't have to be direct family, friends, or even know you to love you for what you are doing for us. Also, we know that you love us because you show it every day that you are over there putting your life in harms way for us. Tim Brannon

  • amen to that a 100% agree

  • hey i wanna wish you luck i know you dont know me but i lost my dad at war and i wanna wish you luck and i pray for the US soldiers everynight hope you come back to what you left =]

  • that was a very good video it was so sad i almost started crying

  • Glad you found it touching...please forward in hopes people think about our military families who sacrifice so much and make donations. Thank you!

  • your welcome!!

  • I think the song/video is beautiful.  Keep up the good work!!!

  • You know what your right it was our choice to leave our families behind. And its for fighting for freedom for jackasses like you to come on you tube and be tough guys. I don't agree with this war or president Bush but I fight, and i will continue to fight for our freedom. Your a big tough guy here on you tube, but how long will you last in the miltary not long jackass.

  • fuck you for this

    there fighting for our freedom

    i thought the same way until my dad went and died and not just for my freedom but for yours

  • We are very very sorry for you loss. Your dad is a hero.

  • i know hes a hero to not just me but to many this video reminds me of the last time i talked to my dad and then a week later i got the news that he died it was so hard its been over a year and i still dont believe hes dead

  • Your father is a hero to ALL of us! We can never thank him, you, and your family enough for what you have sacificed on our behalf. Although your father can't be by your side now, he will ALWAYS be with you in your heart and mind. He will always be in our hearts and minds too as he died for all of us and we will NEVER forget that EVER! Please know that all of our thoughts and prayers are with you always. T.Brannon

  • my uncle is in the war. all he wants is to be over there.. and he told me if he dies, he wants to be buried in Iraq to be with his fellow troops. i thought it was soo sad when he said that. but now i realize he's over there for one thing, and thats us. so thanks to ALL the troops
