  • im Ellen and im gay<3

  • "senator you're no Jack Kennedy"

    One of my favorite clips

  • What a Century

  • Am I the only one that gets more and more goosebumps as this song goes on?

  • Not at all. My personal favorite quote: "Old soldiers never die ... They just ... fade away." For a person who thinks in pictures, that expresses a vast amount of meaning.

  • 5 stars for this very touching video.i listen to it every christmas and it always moves me.thank you for posting the video to this melody .kenny g is the best

  • Very well said KARENNAMC68! Happy New Year to all!! :)

  • Happy New Year Youtube!

  • The torched has passed once again with this video as it was when that speech was first given. I hope people are deciding what their role will be in passing it onto to the next generation. We have to make sure that we don't make the same mistakes that were made in the past especially since there will always be some type of challenge. Challenges shape our characters but we have control over how they shape us and what they shape us into.

  • How is it possible that this was 12 years ago?! 

  • @1976dbishop Time is the only non reusable resource

  • Best song ever, how can it not make you cry......

  • If this video doesn't give you goosebumps you aren't human...and if it doesn't make you cry you aren't American.

  • This is the best version ever. So much happened In the century... Who knows what the next 100 years has... Granted its 89 now... Wow hard to believe that this version of the song is almost 12 years old

  • "I say Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever" believe it or not...This man was one of the BEST governors this country has EVER seen.  As awful as segregation was he did not hate blacks and was in the forefront of social programs for the under privileged both black and white.

  • Like the Man (FDR) Said "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"

  • this is an amazing video because it actally shows video footage and not just pictures to make the experience of a great song come to life

  • There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

  • I hope there are more kids like me who can appreciate this kind of music. This country's history has been so rich, and if more teenagers can learn this stuff, including me, then I think our generation can get so much farther in our lives.

  • "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." - Ronald Reagan (June 12, 1987)

  • 私が、この曲を初めて聞いたのは、2009年、日本の戦没者追悼­慰霊式(8月15日)の数日前でした、私の叔父たちも国威の名の­元に、平穏な暮らしから、戦地へ・・・数通の手紙が戦地から送ら­れて来て、最後はルソン島にて戦死の知らせが来たということを、­私が21歳になろうとするときに、父から見せて頂きました。祖父­母は、戦争のことは一切語らず・・・辛い思いを胸に封じたままこ­の世を去りました。

    21世紀の今でも、戦争をしている。

    何故なんだろう?

    日米の名も無き戦没者の方々に 合掌 安らかにお眠り下さい。

    

  • @3776fj この世界に平和を祈願してみましょう。

  • I love this video. One of my all time favorites.

  • this song makes me cry

  • I remember the first time I heard this song. I was about 11 or 12 (years after this album came out lol). Even at that age I was inspired by it. Very beautiful and very deep :)

  • "Let this word go forth from this time and place that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans."

  • My mom interview Christa McCaulfie (sp?). And she will never forget her. Incredible video. i can't stop crying.

  • I love watching this....it gives me goose bumps.

    "I HAVE A DREAM TODAY!"

    I don't know, this just touches me. It always will.

    This is my favorite thing. My family watches it every Christmas. It's viral for us.

  • I hope I live to see the year 2100, because I would love to see what happens in the next 89 years. but does anybody get the feeling that its going to be hard to top the history of the 20th century? So much happened, so much that changed the world as we know it. I guess a lot can happen from 2011 to 2100. We can only imagine what people will look back at from the 21st century. Perhaps the first contact from an alien species? Or world war 3? Its exciting to think about.

  • I would incorperate the Titanic tragedy and Chernobyl disaster.

  • After all these years, there's no other conclusion possible,..THIS is the best mix ever made.

  • where's WWI and Korea?

  • I was born in The United States of Americas :) !!!!!

  • Very good with lining up the songs with the speaking videos.

  • chernobyl??

    

  • Superb video!!

  • this slide show makes me cry

  • Senator - You're no Jack Kennedy - Love that line.

  • I'm Ellen and I'm Gay lol

  • best version yet!

  • happy new year...

  • '1997 should have been Garth Brooks screaming "Hello, New York" as he greeted 900,000 screaming fans from all 50 states, all Canadian provinces and 18 foreign countries to his free concert in Central Park in August 1997. Rather hear that than Ellen saying she's gay.

  • best version of that video I have seen

  • 2:16 - "Baby, you're the greatest." Classic Jackie Gleason again!

  • "We will never forget them nor the last time we saw, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye, and slipped the surly of Earth to touch the face of God"

    God that quote always gets me. RIP Chalenger.

  • @historybuff5341 I have a dream,, that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the content of there color but by the content of there character... This line impacts all whites blacks and every race that walks the earth,,, God Bless MLK R.I.P... Wish I could of been a brotha by your side but instead your a greater image to all of us,,

  • @historybuff5341 That was the speech that brought tears to my eyes...then OJ's...kinda did too...but in a different way..

  • I don't know what to say about Kenny G on this song. The man is put together...WOW I'm speachless.

  • i love this song, my aunt plays it on christams eve! kenny g reminds me of christmas

  • WOW, best version I have ever seen. I still have goosebumps.

  • greatest walk through history ever!
