  • god bless the american troops in iraq. my step dad did it so will i

  • jami is my cousin....!!!!!

  • Nothing but RESPECT as leave this video...

  • i say the one person who disliked this song otta be hanged for treason

  • "It's one nation under God, thats America like it or not" < one of thebest lines frm a song ever!

  • Godbless all troops

  • How could anyone dislike this? thats disrespectful

  • God Bless America and all that have fought for this Country..to all the idiots out there who want to make less of the sacrifices the men and women of our armed forces who have unselfishly gave and continue to give....I won't waste my time ; not with one of you..either love this country or leave it. Simple..what is it about this you still don't understand.

  • The Message is Clear to me, GOD BLESS AMERICA. & I Salute every American Serving OUR Country, Past, Present & Future! My Father Gave the Ultimate Sacrifice to OUR Country, to ALL of us Americans. RESPECT IT, RESPECT & SUPPORT OUR TROOPS & Thank God for Those Brave Enough to Stand Up for OUR FREEDOMS, OUR COUNTRY & OUR FAMILIES. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!

  • does no one understand the meaning of this song? how can you call yourselves Americans when u cant even comprehend what the song means?

  • This is a silly song. Of course a cemetery would be exempt from this as cemeteries give homage to fallen soldiers. Govt buildings do not. America was founded as a secular nation and no amount of revisionist history will ever prove the opposite. Our pledge was written by a minister and even he left any reference to god our of it. Our adoption of the phrase god was done not out of a sense of religious faith but opposition to communism. At least know where it comes from before you argue for it.

  • to princesso8788: yes, pagans fought, so did jews, muslim, native americans. each denomination, if the soldier designated a religious affiliation, has the appropriate symbol on the stone.

  • @bluebobi Jews do get The Star of David in Arlington, I don't know about Pegans, but it's not about what they are buried in, it's the ppl who have died, they all died for the same cause, protecting your freedom. So really, don't bitch about stones and be thankful for what we do for you

  • @bluebobi Excuse me I am a frickin veteran. So dont go telling me what i may and may not bitch about you mindless twit. The best and last way we can honor those who have served and died is to honor their last request and bury them under the religious symbol of their choice. To do otherwise is a slap in the face to their memory. Oh and last I checked they died so I have the right to bitch as you put it. Including my fathers daughter who rest in Arlington. So shove it you jackass

  • pagans sacrificed their lives as well. They deserve the right to have what they choose to have on their stones. In loving memory of Sgt Patrick Harris.

  • @princesso8788 Jews do get The Star of David in Arlington, I don't know about Pegans, but it's not about what they are buried in, it's the ppl who have died, they all died for the same cause, protecting your freedom. So really, don't bitch about stones and be thankful for what we do for you

  • @nkent127 If I recall there are only three symbols sanctioned for use in military cemetarys, the Star of David, the Cross and the Crescent Moon. I believe Winnans are trying to get recognized as well. So far they've been able to get Wicca approved as a Chaplined faith.

  • @princesso8788 got that last name wrong it should real Sgt Patrick Stewart

  • Yes what about arlington if you take the crosses down is disrespectful to all those who died so you may be free that is about the dumbest thing you can do to them! And to all those who think they should remove the crosses you do not understand what this song means so dont comment on here!

  • wow, very thought provoking indeed! thanx for sharing!

  • one word; beautiful

  • its all true and thats that simple we just need to be glad that we have for them and pray for for the ones fighting and i'm 15 but i plan on going to arlington for ungreatful sons of bitchs that sit on there asses all day and bitch about how poor they are when we have thousands of soildiers fight for them

  • Kinda Ironic! The men and women lying under those crosses gave their all so even idiots have a right to openly comment on forums such as these! Reminds of something an old sailor told me once: he was real quiet, so we didn't know if he was smart or dumb. Then he began to speak and then we knew for sure!

  • i dont give a rats ass wardog if its a 21 gun salute or not or how many crosses there are at arlington ok jack ass it is about what the men and women buried there have done for us if it wasnt for them you wouldnt be able to got on here and complain about this song and eric 5906 you need to pull your head out of your ass and look around at what you have it is all because of people in the military that have fought and died for your freedom and if you have a problem with that you can leave.

  • kcuber is a fuking idiot. Don't sy another word on here moron. Learn to get out more often and read. Fuking morons.

  • reading your comments makes me wonder why i resist the urge to put a bullet in my braincase everyday. clearly you hate us vets.afterall it's so our fault bush, clinton, bush and obama sent us to war with shit equiptment and fucked up rules of engadgement. but u koolaid drinking retards continue to go to the polls and vote the party line

  • @reddaishi

    our weapons are un reliable as they are purchaced based more on weather or not a politicion will get fat on the campeghn donations than weather or not they will fire in battle.

  • I didn't read all of the comments, actually, I didn't read any. Don't care to read such stupidity.

    Thank you for your service. True Americans understand and appreciate your sacrifices and everything you do, everyday. Thank you for your commitment and dedication. Bless you!

  • @step5732 that is right

  • Anybody giving money to these people is foolish.  the ACLU *defends* the right to have a religious symbol on the tombstones at Arlington. Anyone who buys into the idea the ACLU is against religion has no idea what the ACLU is about.

  • ya, id really believe someone called WitchZenka when they are talking about who the aclu defends

  • that's an idiotic comment. It's a screenname. *rolls eyes* And coming from someone called "Weezymagee" even dumber. Here's an idea: learn to do some research for yourself. It's not about believing *me* regardless of my screenname, it's about trying to figure out the truth.

  • they played this exact video at our school and now the guys wont stop singing!

  • If you don't like saying "ONE NATION UNDER GOD" Thats your right, I have the right to say it and always will. If you don't like seeing the 10 commandments at the court house, DON'T freaking look at it. I have the right to see it and believe in it....

  • You have the right to see it and believe in it, you don't have the right to put it on federal courthouse lawns. If you don't know what your rights are, don't speak out about them.

  • Anything given by God(the entire USA)is the right and honor of every true American and not the right of the people that are simply moving here. Your so called rights were given to you by men and women that believe in the Lord and His Son, Jesus Christ.

  • Your freedom/right will not get you to the Lord or make you a True American, only service, sacrifice, and a willingness to die for something bigger than yourself will. You didn't earn those rights, you inherited them from me, my father, and my grandfathers. I don't ever want to see your mindless trash on this site or any place in the world or I will crush your bones and eat from your skull. >:X Got that child! !!

  • Beautiful song!

  • Jami, love the song!

  • Its pretty bad when the countries we helped liberate during WWII have more pride and respect for our fallen heros then some Americans. The ACLU can kiss my ass, right along with the stupid ass idiot from Oregon who bitched about the WWI Memorial in the desert.

  • Well said.

  • Stand up for our founding principles & documents. Quit turning the other cheek. Proclaim we are and always have been a Christian Nation. WAKE UP!

    We're the majority. What's it going to take? When will we have had enough? What have we been waiting for, for the past 40 years?

    Find your courage and show up at the nearest Tea Party on Independence Day to add your voice to the masses....

    COWBOY TEA PARTY

    4th of July

    Wyoming State Capitol

    High noon to 5pm

    CowboyTeaParty(dot)com

  • Comment removed

  • By the way, the Tea Parties are about protest against confiscatory taxation and Socialist governmental policies. I went to the 4/15 Tea Party in Boston and it is an exciting and promising movement. Are evangelicals planning to highjack those, too? As long as it is controlled by the far Christian right, true conservitism in this country is dead.

  • This country was founded and our Constitution written by "the far Christian right".

    50 State Constitution preambles honor our creator. We're a Christian nation that allows people to worship freely.

    You know the tax day tea party message. The July 4th message is "State Sovereignty". We are a fluid, determined and powerful movement. You're obviously in need of update...

    "True Conservatism" is not owned by faith-free Libertarians, but sanctimonious rhetoric usually is.....

  • Your opening statement reveals that you're ignorant of the facts. You are just plain wrong. Fundementalist evangelicals invented the notion that we are a Christian nation. Read Jefferson's letters. Read the Treaty of Tripoli. Read the Federalist Papers. Read anything Franklin ever wrote on the topic of religion. You're engaging in revisionist history.

  • "Quit turning the other cheek. Proclaim we are and always have been a Christian Nation."

    So being a christian nation for you means to do the exact opposite of what Jesus told you?

  • By the way, thank you for your service to our country. Please be advised that all those who disagree with you on matters of religion are not liberal, anti-American or communists.

  • What does the date of my birth have to do with the fact that Washington, Adams, Jefferson (particularly Jefferson) and the rest of the founding fathers were strong governmental secularists? You are absolutely correct when you say I don't run this country, but neither will ignorant, fundamentalist Christians like you. If you want to live in a theocratic society there are many to choose from. Iran comes to mind. I am on the side of our Constitution and you sir, are dangerous to it's ideals.

  • "It's one nation under God, that's America, like it or not?"

    You sickening hypocrite. What if I penned the lyric "Congress shall make no law, that's America, like it or not?"

    Allow me to answer: you would be appalled and you'd run to Sean Hannity with the story. What you are essentially saying is that this is a Christian nation, but because you are gracious you'll tolerate the rest of us. Thanks but no thanks. As tough as it is to swallow, I will stand with the ACLU on this one.

  • Talk about a hypocrite. Read your history about this country. The ACLU is a joke and you want to FORCE your garbage on us. That is right we tolerate you but you do not run this country and this constitution was PENNED long before you were born. I immigrated to this country(legally) and served 27 years in the US Navy because I believed in it. People like you make me sick. Why don't you immigrate to another country of YOUR liking. Maybe Communist China.

  • we watched this in church today there was not one dry eye in the sanctuary. we have so many men and women in the service and i have lost someone in the service.

  • this is a beautiful song rip to every man and women who has died for our country

  • i went there a while back...for my dads buriel. it was heartbreaking to see all the crosses and my dad just another in the thousands.

  • I just listened to this again. I swear to God, this song makes me sit up and get squared away postehaste.

  • GOD

  • How CAN something carved in stone mean so much? This song means so much, everthing is so true. I cair about the slodiers and men and wemon I dont even know, but I still think anyone even strangers deserve to live! ANYONE- friends, neighbors, sons, daughters eneryone.

  • Great video Jami. By the way this is your cousin Michele, wishing you and Sandy a Merry Christmas. Take care, and keep on singing!

  • Wow. Thank you for this song.

  • I am a Navy casket bearer in Arlington. And I just wanted to say thank you for posting this video.

  • Thank-you, Jami Grooms, for bringing home to America the true meaning of America and being an American - as a retired Vietnam era Vet, of the U.S. Air Force and a Disabled Vet whose last name is also Grooms, I am more than humbled and touched by this song/video. May God Bless you, Jami, for opening up your heart to the world in this fashion and may God Bless America. Keep up the good work of carrying the torch, Jami!!!... (Tommy) Thomas L. Grooms, III - Savannah, Georgia

  • Regardless of branch, your last flight into Dover is on the Air Force, but your last ride is on the Army's caissons. Brothers! Brother Americans, Brothers in arms. Rest in peace. I love you.

  • no offense here...but the point of the song is saying that if you take down crosses...then you are dsrespecting all of our fallen heros...and everyone who is commenting and correcting, you are comletely losing the point of the song...it doesn't matter if its all correct...the song was written to make people think...so instead of correcting things...we should all be saying GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!! thank you to all of our soldiers who are fighting and who have fought to protect our great nation.

  • amen

  • @ashleylauren93 on behalf of all of us ATHIEST veterans " your welcome"

  • Wardog was right..And i truely do appreciate this video, I would wish to be burried in Arlington should i die in Iraq next i deploy, so if you work there Keep my new home neat for me please

  • this is the only song in the world that has ever made me cry

  • As a Christian and a Viet Nam Vet, this video is a great tribute to the men and woman you sacrificed all they had so those who oppose them had the freedom to do so. Keep Freedom alive.

  • I love my soldiers! Thank You!

    God Bless Do not let God be taken from us, without the LORD we cannot stand.

  • Very nice video, I just wish songs and and newspaper accounts would be accurate. There are no crosses at Arlington, the crosses are in OVERSEAS national cemeteries. In the US and Arlington Cemetery the upright marble stone is used. And what you have at a funeral is NOT a 21 gun salute, it's called THREE RIFLE VOLLEYS. Only the President would get a 21 gun salute, and that is CANNON fire.

  • Its really called 21 guns salute. And have you ever been to arlington.

  • I WORK there. I realize people often call it a 21 gun salute, what I'm saying is that is INCORRECT.

  • wardog is right and trust me, the sound hits you in your soul.

  • Correct. Finally, someone gets it right.

  • I believe the only cross at Arlington is for Bobby Kennedy. Is that correct?

  • uh, no, theres hundreds

  • yea, theres thousands, did you even watch the video?

  • I don't think the video was accurate with the depiction of all of the crosses. I think that video was shot in overseas cemeteries.

  • are you kidding? I've been to Arlington maybe a dozen times and I GUARENTEE that there are alot of Crosses there.

  • im about an hour and a half away, you must be joking, thousands of crosses for thousands of men, it really sends a different kind of chill through you

  • Well done. Thank you.

  • This is incredibly powerful. ADF and the American Legion are to be commended.
