  • SEMPER FI (ALWAYS FAITHFUL)

  • I have always said I hate being a kid I want to be an adult and be able to fight in the war. But I've seen Wat it does to people.

  • @2USMCBoy Just enjoy your life. Those other things will come quicker than you think.

  • @2USMCBoy Do me a favor, don't ever hate being a kid. My favorite days were when I was a kid. It's guys like me, and I'm sure many other vets on this site, that don't want you to fight in the war. I want you to have fun and make your parents proud of you as you are. Help the ones everyone else picks on. That will make you a leader and someone others respect. But first and foremost, be a kid. It's that simple. If you don't believe me, check out "Don't Blink". Trust me, it happens that fast.

  • Im not a father im not a adult,Im still young im 16,This song hits me hard,Never wanna see anyone go threw this,Ive always though teaching my brother how to grow up and defend himself but now i wanna have him set back and still be a kid and live the fun days,

  • @SETHCULBERTSOM 16, huh? If you're for real, you're doing just fine.

  • @ocepeda1967 Yes only 16,I listen to this song a few times a day to remind me what others have been threw

  • My oldest brother enlisted in 2010 and has already completed a tour in Afghanistan. Found out about a month ago that he's gonna be a dad. This song describes him to "t"

  • Every time I watch this, I think about what it means. I'm sure many vets and cops/firefighters think the same: They don't want their little girls or boys to have to see the things they've seen. They want them to be innocent forever. That's how I feel. Video games and movies make it seem so cool, but if you've been there you know it isn't cool, it's hell. And it never goes away. Gary Allan probably doesn't even realize how this one little song can bring out the emotions. He did a great job.

  • @ocepeda1967 That's right.I've often said the best part of being a firefighter was that you know what the news stories left out on tv.The worst part is that you know WHY those parts were left out.

  • @doughesson Very well put. I agree 100%. I try to tell my 13 year old son these kinds of things, but I don't want to be as descriptive as I could be. I know someone has to do it, so it may as well be us. I had a reporter ride with me one night. It changed her whole view of things. She couldn't believe the things that happen.

  • @arcticwolfdragon........maybe thats cause their big brother, father, mother, son or daughter never made it home.......Semper Fi!!

  • goosebumps...

  • Just enlisted in the Army.. Proud to have the opportunity to serve such a great nation.

  • @JayBaddAssCutler stay strong only if the war would finally end theres been too much blood to many losses

  • dam proud to be an american dam thankful for those who put their life on the line to fight for our freedom

  • My moms best friend husband is a Marine, they say the marines have a beef with the army. when you are getting shot at and someone by your side is helping you.You do not care what branch they are in.

  • 6 months down another 6 months b4 me n my Daughter get to See DADDY again .... Cant wait for him to get Home for Afghanistan!!

  • @ShakeMama03 Stray strong! :)

  • Comment removed

  • There should be a log of all 'thumbs down' where you have to justifiy your reasoning. I have no problem giving a thumbs down to a video and I would say why I felt that way. Just something like this song/vid...if you are giving it a thumbs down you are not American or you just like to thumb down stuff just to do it and think you are cool.

  • @bombshell42701 who cares if your american were all the same for fuck sakes grow up

  • My friend is leaving for Afghanistan in March, after just meeting his now 16 month old daughter for the first time in November. Once he got to the airport, his little girl took her first steps to her daddy when her grandma said "Look, it's your daddy!". It was just a great moment, but it's gonna be hard for him to leave his gorgeous little girl in March. :)

  • I was a Marine 4 years and a cop for 20. I've seen some stuff. But my best memory is having my son fall asleep on my chest. It doesn't get any better than that.

  • @ocepeda1967 Thank you for your service!

  • @butnob951 You're welcome. When you're young you don't even think about it, you just do it. My tough little boy is almost as tall as me now and 13. Guess what he wants to be.....yep, a Marine! I gotta talk some sense into him. Haha.

  • @ocepeda1967 HAHA! my whole family has been involved with the military on one way or another. and i am looking forward to keeping it alive for another generation!

  • @ocepeda1967 Thank you, sir, for serving our country. And, I couldn't agree with you more.

  • @dlpine71 Personaly, I think everyone should serve at least one tour, but not if they have to be drafted. If you're not a total screwup and whiner it will mature you. And the things you'll learn (life experiences), especially if you go on a float to other countries, can never be duplicated. It's not like a cruise ship. In the military you really get to see the people and how they live. I know it made me glad to be an American. Thanks for your comment. I was glad to serve.

  • @ocepeda1967 you just made me cry but im a girl so yeah still.

  • @tina798a Sorry. I didn't think I said anything that would cause that reaction. Just telling how I see things. Maybe I just talk too much, huh?

  • 21 people who disliked have no life.

  • I love this song reminds me of my little girl sure do miss her two more months.

  • @naylorz28 Thank you for all you do. I will be praying for your safe return home.

  • I love this song. :) It makes me tear up everytime I hear it

  • i cried when my little girl ran to me after my deployment, 2 years i missed and she is my whole world i wont miss anymore

  • 21 people were never tough little boys 

  • My daddy was abuive for I forgive him

  • 1:59 - 2:02 went to school there, The Citadel

  • if you dont cry or have a heavy heart after listenin to this song. then i say you either hate your dad, not a parent or just dont have a heart. i hate when people dislike something all because they dont like the music. listen to the words & you will understand the song. that is how country is!!!!

  • I'm not a soldier and nether is my daddy. i'm a single mom. i moved out of my parents house at 19 and ever time i hear this son i break down and cry because i miss my daddy so much. yes i said daddy. im 21 & proud to say i miss my daddy.

  • I'm not a soldier and nether is my daddy. i'm a single mom. i moved out of my parents house at 19 and ever time i hear this son i break down and cry because i miss my daddy so much. yes i said daddy. im 21 & proud to say i miss my daddy. if you dont cry or have a heavy heart after listenin to this song. then i say you either hate your dad, not a parent or just dont have a heart. i hate when people dislike something all because they dont like the music. listen to the words& you will understand.

  • my Dad Loves this song<3 i am so happy that my dad never went into the war. but i do pray for those kids who dont have a dad right now because they are fighting to keep us safe..

    to come home soon to their familes..

    i cant image the feeling what those little girls are Feeling in this video...

    i am proud that my dad is safe and sound. but i am praying for the other kids and their Dads<3

  • im not a big country fan but i love this song . whenever i'm not with my 16 year old daughter i love to sit and listen to it.

  • OmG HE IS SO CUTE

  • 20 people never got to be big babies again c:

  • Anyone who doesnt like this song,because they don't listen to the true words must have a poor soul,maybe they aren't a man and can't face it. They probably have kids and aren't in their lives. I love all those smiles when they run to hug eachother,just love the soldiers who fight coming home to their families and feeling happy as if that's all they need. I love my American soldier who just got out of Afghanistan. Can't wait to Marry him.

  • The message of this song is completely true. I may not be a father. But I know exactly know what he is saying

  • @poemart99

    from one soldier to another...proud to fight with you and make it home safe to your girls

  • I support all fathers in the troops in fact one of my friend's dad is in afghanistan and she always keeps his picture in her pocket and every day the football players tease her thumbs up if you know what she's going through and/or support the troops

  • I am not a father but I know what it's like to see my dad cry im only 19 but i was diagnosed with cancer in August 2010 only a couple months after i graduated and it was the first time i saw him cry and it was the hardest thing to see. I am not still in treatment i have beat it twice and never shed a tear but i know full well that the day i have a kid i will loose it and break down out of pride and joy and be worried sick when they get hurt or leave the house for an extended period of time.

  • @ThisYoungLibertine heyy ass hole your obviously not a parent so you can't appreciate the meaning of this song like us so just shut the fuck up

  • @ThisYoungLibertine pay attention to what it's saying you don't always have to like the beat just understand the message it's giving you ASS HOLE!!!

  • I've been in the United States Army for 27 Years, and I have five INCREDIBLY beautiful Daughters... I've missed so much of their lives that it hurts real bad inside, but I adore them, and they know it. My oldest Baby-Girl sent this to me, again, and no matter HOW many times she has, I still cry like a "Big Baby"... There is no shame... Truer word were never spoken, nor sang.... I love you, my Ladies...

    Daddy

  • I know for a fact that im not the only guy holding back tears. If you felt no emotion after watching this...what are you? cause your definitely not normal. Thank you to the soldiers out their in battle, and good luck :,)

  • Our new baby boy is 7 days old. It's 1am. I have fed him 90 ml and changed THREE diapers before finally putting him to sleep. Now I'm sitting at the computer, watching this vid and crying like a fool...

  • @manyhuar I wish I knew how you feel, but I wasn't there to see my baby born, and havn't been able to really help my girl take care of her. She is not really my child, but I love her like she is. It makes my heart swell to see her and her mother together and I keep thinking about what kind of father I will be for her, and what kind of man I will be for her mother, Hopefully the best there is, but I can see that you are already about there. Good job. :)

  • @manyhuar trust me my oldest is 2 years old and the feeling never goes away. my little boy still terrifies me and my 6 month old little girl has me wrapped around her finger. If she cries wrong im almost bustin down the door to see whats wrong.

  • i here this i shead a tear it suck nowadays when parents kill there kids my heart goes out to all

  • 204 that baby is so beautiful and so adorable<333

  • i may be a step daughter but i love her with all my heart.. <3

  • to my lil baby Destinie " the most beautyful baby in the world " I know you what happens when this big bay hears songs like this LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH my lil baby name Destinie

  • I love you, daddy. More than you will ever know. (and I tell you a lot :))

  • God bless our troops!!! may all of yuh return home safely

  • no my dad was never in the army or nuttin but he tought me the things of life while i was growin up but i do pray for my big bro who is machanic for one of the carriers out there and thnks to everyone else who is in the service

  • People always ask "why would you wanna join the military"? I just laugh and say "you wouldn't understand"

  • i love this song...<3

  • Did they seriously just put a Lady fucking Gaga ad on this video????

  • I have never seen the video for this song and it's been sooooooo long since I've heard it. I have a brother in law that's in the air force. I pray for him and my sister every night that they will be safe and that nothing bad or terrible will happen to them. I thank the soldiers for what they do for us. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

  • I don't have a father in the army. I don't have a boyfriend/Husband in the army either. But when ever I hear about a soldier dying, even if I didn't know him, I cry... I just feel so guilty... I don't even know why.... May the lord bless all of the soldiers of the US army....

  • This is my song to my husband. He's always acting like such a tough guy, but when our son gets here in December, he'll cry like a baby. But I love him and can't wait to see the tears of joy.

  • The other day i was watching the news and some christians said "God bless our dead soldiers" what kinda religious fucker is that fuck anyone who is against our soldiers if it wasnt for them where the hell would you be at this moment.

  • @Redmangoneraged just a heads up.....its not being against them....its asking God to guide them to heaven

  • @MrWinwasher1 just a heads up they didnt look sad, they looked pissed off and they pretty much said they were glad they died

  • 16 people never grew to be big babies

  • ugh i love the part at the end where they run to eachother and i always smile when i see the guy holding his triplets lol i love that<3

  • look at that bradley, BAD BOY!

  • good song for a step father-daughter wedding dance??

  • @babygirl21457 Step-fathers are better than no fathers. I'd have been more proud to dance with my Pop at my wedding, rather than my father. Remember, anyone can be a father, it takes a special man to be Dad or a Pop.

  • i love this song no matter what

  • I love this song

  • My Dad passed away many years ago but that doesn't stop the heart

    from feeling what all of the others in this world are feeling, especially

    our troops with families at home when the time comes to deploy for

    duty. God Bless all fathers that have passed away, that are still with

    us, and the fathers to be. This song says it all.

    May God Bless Our Fathers! Blessings to all families with loved ones

    in the war...May God Bless over your families both here and there. *Country Girl*

  • no matter what i will always cry to this song. I love you daddy and i always will <3

  • This song is so moving. I pray that one day when I have children their father loves them this much. I know my dad loves me this much because he is so protective of his baby girl. I love you daddy forever no matter what.

    <3

  • My father is in the army and i listen to this every time he deploys to iraq because this is the song that connects our hearts and shows what he accutally feels for me.

I want to wish him luck on his next deployment in december but ill listen to this every day and think of him and keep him close to my heart. Love you Daddy <333
