im srry about u losing a family member i lost 2 grandpas who served for this country

[JInks232]

My condolences to you and your family. This video is a wonderful tribute to your grandfather. I have a relative who also served in the 3rd infantry as a Sargent. His company 75% kIA. My relative was wounded yet survived. He still gets emotional when he remembers the killing he had to do, and the deaths suffered on our side.

[reddevilparatrooper]

[rothaich5]

wonderful tribute.

[CantwrCymreig]

Chi mi na morbheanna, about going home to the Scottish Highlands, is a fitting song for the occasion. So many of our best and bravest soldiers were of Celtic descent.

[eoghanbeg]

The composer of Chi mi na Morbheanna was John Cameron (1822-1898). The song was written in Scottish and its title in English means I see the Great Bens. The view which inspired his song can be seen in Dunach1 on YouTube

.

John had disembarked from the Glasgow steamer and composed the song while walking towards his Highland home. All eight verses of his song can be seen under its Gaidhlig title in Wikipedia. He knew the young William Lawrie before he became the well-known bagpipe composer.

I am German so at first sorry for my English. My grandfather fought in the wehrmacht but not to fight for that crank thinking from Hitler ! He fought for his fatherland and his comraes . He doesnt support Hitler I am very proud of my grandfather and I will be very sad if he dies because i can so much learn from him. At all soldiers : rest in peace

[thegranitebison]

@Shepp1rd fuck yeah.

[joelSanFrancisco]

@Shepp1rd Shepp, instead of fighting for his fatherland and his comrades, your grandfather should have fought against Hitler so that so many young Allied soldiers did not have to die.

[Shepp1rd]

@joelSanFrancisco tis was meant generally. soldiers fight for their home, their family, for their country not only because of the leader of their country. in this time people were faszinated of hitler. he gave them a feeling back that many people missed.

[joelSanFrancisco]

@Shepp1rd Hitler gave the German people a feeling back ... it is unfortunate he can't give young Allied dead their lives back.

[Shepp1rd]

@joelSanFrancisco the allies cant give back young german lives!

[joelSanFrancisco]

@Shepp1rd .. Shepp, I think we can both agree that WWII was an immense tragedy with great losses suffered by all sides. But we also must remember the lesson: citizens cannot give unquestioning support to dictators and evil leaders. We see right now in Egypt and Libya how citizens are standing up against tyrants.

[Shepp1rd]

@joelSanFrancisco yes thats right, but all i wanted to say is, that all soldiers deserve respect no matter from where they are. in the past now and in the future

[h3ro1337]

Nice video, I'd also been proud of such an honorable grandfather

[1690Shaun]

This is a wonderful tribute my great great uncle was a salor in the proud brittish navy he served on the HMS Hood the navys flagship but was then attached to the HMS witshed which was attacked by the Luftwaffe and he was the only casualty that day , he was only 19. Able seaman Stanley nicol RIP 19 Years old from Arbroath , Scotland

[Sweden80Here]

Wonderful Gaelic song. May your grandfather forever rest in peace.

[stanislaw84]

did your grandpa survive the war

[Sweden80Here]

Yes he did but he got deep pshycological scares. My grandfather fought in the djungels of burma as a british soldier of irish descent and became later a prisoner of war, he spent over a year in a japanese prison camp. He got tortured and lost alot of friends during that time. He became a changed man after the war, always very quiet. He died in the mid 80's.

[VoDKaMarine]

What a great song! My god..it's awesome.

[66cheesehead]

Rest in Peace Sir

Thank You

[aviationwingnut]

VERY WELL done!! Thanks again and God Bless the LT and your family. The horrors he had to have endured. We're better for it, although.......well, we're just better because of that.

[aviationwingnut]

I don't understand the lyrics but, that doesn't matter. Lieutenant McGeorge would've been happy to know he had this. Probably wishes ALL those with him who didn't get it could've been afforded the same. Thanks for the upload. That is REAL nice. Thanks again.

[God4Dunoon]

Do you understand the words.. I hope you do

[LiveDeepDoGood]

Do I understand the words to Chi Mi Na Mór-Bheanna you mean? Actually yes, I do. I studied them (and Scottish Gaelic) so I could sing it at the funeral. I'll post a translation here for others in case they are curious.

[God4Dunoon]

God Bless

[wehah73]

what was the opening music?

[LiveDeepDoGood]

It is from Medal of Honor: Frontline

[BUTLERSUPERFAN]

the used it in Allied Assault too

[Giesabrekk]

I hope that your Grandfather has come home to Scotland to find his peace.

May his God love him.

[earthenly]

I'm sorry about your grandfather! You must miss him! My Dad fought in the battle of anzio, Italy, WW2. He is 90 years old & in a home for veterans. I hope peace comes to us all soon & that wars will be no more. The Rankin Family song is beautiful. They come from the beautiful island of Cape Breton. One of the brothers, John Morris Rankin, has passed in a car accident a few years ago. Another song popular in the world, by the Rankins, is "Fare Thee Well Love". Take care.
