One of the best songs out there. Thank you and God bless to each and every one of our service men and women... and we are forever in debt to the ones that gave it all, for our freedom.
At Andrews AFB (DC) we worked "SAM" (Special Air Mission) aircraft carryingg high-ranking military and civilian personnel. Before landing the pilot might announce "One DV (distinguished visitor) on board". So, I volunteered to go to Southeast Asia. At Anbdersen AFB, what we heard a C-141 announcing that part of his cargo included "one human remains." That is what they were in the Viet-Nam era. Thank goodness we have fixed this.
WOW... My Eyes are Full of Tears and My Heart is Weeping for the Souls Coming Home Via the Angel Flight. I Honor Each and Give Them Each My Love From the Heart and a Huge Spiritual Hug and Kisses on the Cheek.
For All Still in Service I Give You Each My Heart and I Bow to Your Honor as I Honor Your Spirit. I Send Each Much Love from My Heart and Prayers to Keep You Safe for Safe Return Home and To Your Families.

I have no words that can explain my feelings....Thank God for the Men and Women that give their lives everyday for The United States Of America and the Men and Women who bring them home to their families. God Bless You All!! Thank you gentlemen for writing this song in HONOR of those we've lost and the ANGELS that bring them home...The part where the plane looks like it has 'Wings' says it all!
Mortuary flights out of Cam Ranh Bay, Viet Nam were called Blue Barque. There was a weekly Blue Barque flight from AF Cam Ranh to Travis AFB. I don't know if that was the official mission name or something GIs came up with. I was Army working w/AF Port Sqdn & that is what the AF guys called it.
As an AF Veteran and mother of 3rd generation American and Soldier, I say thank you and salute you for the job you take on carrying our heros home.
Darius was right, you can't listen without tears. Gentlemen, thank you for the collaboration to honor those who gave all and those who bring them home to rest. God bless our military members and the families who wait for them at home. Well done ALL!
As a veteran myself, I have the utmost respect for those who have served in all conflicts we have engaged in - those living and passed on. As for di2ish - you apparently have no idea how lucky you are. I shudder at how you can so flippantly disrespect our Commander-In-Chief..something that our fallen heroes would never have done.
Yes, tears for these most excellent, finest of the finest fallen hero's, especially because of the dishonor they now receive from the Commie, Muslim who has usurped our White House and all his ilk who seek to end our beloved freedoms that our dear Americans sons purchased with their own blood.
Send the "DISLIKES" back under the rock they crawled out from under. I wish they'd put their names and addresses down. I'd like to show them just how much I dislike their attitude towards veterans that have given their lives so these low lives can voice their opinions.
I'm appalled that there are 18 dislikes on this video. I'm a veteran who was deployed to Afghanistan last year where I lost a very good friend. I truly believe that many people forget, "some gave all" and what that really means.
As a Veteran, I first would like to THANK all of our soldiers out there. I would like to send my thoughts to all of the families who have lost a loved one. And to Radney, Darden and Darius (wow... now there is a trio of names, isn't it? LOL! )
But.. THANK YOU as well for this Angel Flight song... OUTSTANDING!
I don't know if other veterans are like me, but I can't help but look at my fellow Americans and try to determine if they are worthy of the sacrifices made on their behalf. The bar is high. Ask yourself if you are living in a way that vindicates the sacrifice....
@ricksteiner10 I know exactly how you feel. If I were asked to serve today like I was nearly 20 years ago, I don't know that I would have made the same decision. God Bless all of our service members serving now for the sacrifice they make and remember there are still some of us back home who believe in you and what you are doing.
Everytime I hear this song I get tears in my eyes. Thank you to all the troops. I love sharing this video with others. Thank you Radney, Darius and Darden for honoring the heros this way. GOD BLESS AMERICA !
Honor The Fallen: SSG Patrick Lee Lybert KIA 21 June 2006, Aghanistan. 3-71 CAV 10th MNT DIV.....I miss you Son. Five years tomorrow and for Mom it's never ended..... Thank you for those that developed Angel Flights. My son came home in the belly of a plane and was transferred with a skid steer to and from the loading dock for us to receive....he deserved better.
if what the pilot says at 5:57 dosent give you goosebumps and choke you up your a damn communist!!! i love this song and the people that fight for us, god bless
What a wonderful tribute to our men & women in service who have paid the ultimate price for all of us. I'm sad to say that we have two angel flights coming home this weekend to Michigan - young men who died way too young. Thank you for this beautiful song and honor to our American soldiers. It's a way that we can all share in the tribute. God bless them all and bring them home soon - alive and well & for those other angel flights - God be with them and know we are humbled by their sacrifice.
I cry every time I hear this song. My first trip to Iraq, during the surge, we had 13 "hero" flights in my battalion alone. Same thing, different name. This song is so powerful. Please don't ever forget what our brothers and sisters do for us every day.
@sinnednurboc - Here is the flaw in your argument. No leader who was an atheist ever killed in the name of atheism. But every religious figure that has taken their people into battle has done so specifically in the name of religion. People have died at the hands of athiests, but it was not because they were atheists that they killed
@blondla Here's the flaw in your argument, but I'll let you do the footwork to prove it. How many Orthodox priests did Stalin kill in the name of eradicating "superstitious religious elements from scientific socialism?" How many Buddhist monks did the Khmer Rouge kill toward the same end? Mao, when he eradicated the "Four Olds" from Chinese culture? All of these leaders were motivated by an atheistic desire to purge God from the public consciousness, not merely a coincidence of belief.
I'm proud to be an American and to those that don't like what our military are doing to keep us free are not patriot Americans and can just leave our country.

Woah. Extremely moving! Thank you to all of you who fight for the rest of us who have the luxury of staying home and raising our children in freedom. We appreciate you very much and pray for you every day.
@bylica123 wasn't there something right before Good afternoon Angel Flight B02 checking ... I'm pretty sure there was something right before that ....
Im not sure what you are asking, is it your asking what they are saying word for word or what they are doing at 550-555. At 550-555 they are checking in to a tower as they fly over, they must be in radio contact at all times and they switch contacts as they fly in different zones. I will listen to 656 and 601 and report back.
By the way, does anyone know where I can find the lyrics to this song (particularly) the parts with Angel Flight + AF air traffic control?
... have looked everywhere for those lyrics and cannot find it. If someone knows the lyrics/link to lyrics, I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me, thanks :D
Nowadays, too few people truly understand how grateful they should be, for living in a country worry-free of war (at home of course). They don't understand that it is our Heroes that pay the ultimate sacrifice for many of us.
I thank every member of our Nation's Finest - no matter the Branch, no matter if (s)he was aboard the Angel Flight. God Bless those who Serve, Served, and will Serve.
I could only wish for more true tribute songs out there ....
My only wish is that not another Angel Flight will ever have to take off again, ever. Thank you all for what you've done for the Country, my family and God Bless all those who served and especially those that never came home.
A very timely song. I, too, have a song on You Tube that honors our fallen brothers and sisters. It's called "Too Many Flags." Have a listen and let me know what you think.
god bless America, I always get a kick out of that saying, for one god is a man made idea and to only "bless" the USA and not the whole world is so ironic. Kind of like when a football team ask for "gods" blessing like he would give a shit. This war like most all is about religion and your god, and that my friend will be the end of the world unless such nonsensical idea's as a personal god get extinguished and replaced with reason and common sense.
@jimmyg4life So, if not for one ultimate Supreme Being making everything, where did everything come from? From a blast of light? Where did the churning ball of atoms come from? From alien breeders? Who made the aliens? For every single contradictory argument you make, there is one that super cedes all. That is the fact that everything came from somewhere. It didn't just appear.
You really need to think this position through a little more. A reasoned explanation of why people believe in God can be found in the books " I don't have enough faith to be an Atheist" and "Mere Christianity".
Regarding the concept that religion causes most of the suffering and death in the world consider that 20th century atheistic Nazism, Communism, etc.) have been responsible for over 181,000,000 deaths. Reason and common sense are definitely NOT on your side!
@sinnednurboc Very week point you make here. Nazism for one, Hitler was a Christian and if you argue that you are like most "believers" who deny the truth.
@jimmyg4life If Hitler was a Christian then the moon is made of green cheese. Talk about fairy tales. Hitler was born into a Catholic family, but no one becomes a Christian by physical birth, but only by spiritual birth. Jesus is the founder of Christianity and he gets to set the rules, not you. And what did Jesus say? Unless someone is born of the Spirit, they cannot see God's kingdom. Hitler said he would lie to get support, and he did. He was a Norse paganist, not a Christian.
one of the best songs giving tribute to those fallen that have served our country past and present! God Bless those who are serving currently and their families as well.
I honor those who fight in arms way...they are our heros. My cousin is one of these pilots. I am so thankful to all for what they do for our country.......awesome.
I am a 74 year old Navy aircrew veteran and have respected all of our American military from WWI through the Middle Eastern war in which we are now engaged. Whether the large number of immigrants and home born Americans we call American citizens or the education of our Founder's sacrifices and Founding documents, young American men & women have stepped up to save our freedoms for over 234 years. I thank God daily for the blessing of having these American heros! Obama, don't kill this blessing!
As an American Veteran I salute the courage and sacrifice these heroes have made for this country and our way of life. Too few truly understand why it was necessary for them to make the ultimate sacrifice. I love each and every one of them. They will never truly be gone as long as we hold them in our hearts and prayers. And thank you brothers and sisters for escorting them home.
if you like this video i suggest you watch the movie TAKING CHANCE with kevin bacon. it really puts things into perspective and makes you appreciate everything they do for us and for each other
I am in awe of this music. I can't stop crying. How do we say thank you enough for the sacrifice some make for us to be free? I wish I had the words to tell them how much I appreciate them. They are angels no doubt. God sends them when we need them and what a blessing we have. To all that have or are servicing, I just cry in your ear, "I love you and thank you, precious one." God bless, Evie

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No god, no angels, no afterlife..... just dead bodies!! As Hitchens says "religion poisons everything" !! But the music was nice, and I would give the song a 95 'cause it is hard to dance and easy to hum......
this tears my heart out. Thank you Americans for doing such an honorable job for our loved ones. I've had family on the Angel Flight and I thank you for the tribute to these heroes and those who fly them home. Tough jobs make heroes......... God bless you all. Blessings, Joyce
I want all of our precious men home, here on our soil. We need them here to protect our borders. I am tired of sacrificing our people in foreign lands.
God bless all our men/women in uniform....please come home. God bless America.
This is an incredible story of our country's Heroes who put their lives and family on hold to protect our freedom. They deserve a Heroes Welcome Home. They are why we
can protest, have the right to say no, and to
not serve their country because they don't
believe the cause is justified. Yet they trash talk and invade the family of the soldier on their private good bye to their hero. God Bless our Soldiers as they are in harm's way.
Thank You to all military and their families, for your men and women who served and are still serving with pride. Protecting our country!!! I still hold in my heart Tommy, my nephew, after two attempts made it into the military with great pride! However, he came home on a commercial flight, he didn't make it out of pre-basic training... death undetermined. God Bless the men who bring them home on what knowingly is their last flight. May God hold you all safely in the palm of his hands.

America needs to support and THank GOD everyday for the men and women who sacrifice for our freedom.. too many of us don't appreciate where we live. No matter how bad it gets here, we as a people of a great country make it thru. together.
We can make better and just stay together in prayer.
Every time I watch this it makes me cry. I hope that this begins to instill in the American public the need to return to the traditional values not the least of which is learning how to respect each other. Randy this is one hell of a song buddy and I can't praise it enough.
Is it ok if I cried watching this video. Not just from the sadness of the fallen hero's family and friends, but the love shown to them from those that bring them home. I am so proud of these pilots, they show the greatest respect to our heros. Thank you.
Great song. My thanks to all who curently serve, or have served this country.
I do however have a nit to pick with the aircraft footage used. At 5:56 the plane shown is an AC-130 gunship, not a transport. I guess you might call it an angel, but it is an angel of death, watching over our troops and keeping them safe.
This is one of the best i have ever heard, and its in my heart. I do thank Radney Foster for bringing this music to the public, its the Armed Forces, that give their lives to keep us safe, here in The USA. Its hard to believe that so many have given their lives to keep us safe, and sound. I do appreciate their sacrifice and their love of this country. GOD bless the Armed Forces and their families.
I was an Air Traffic Controllerin Atlanta for 35 years. Great Song! Be advised that there are Civilian pilots that fly medical patients around the USA and around the world, they volunteer there services, sometimes they pay all the expenses themselves, they also use the call sign Angel Flight. Thanks go out to the men and women of the military and civilian services
Great video and tribute to our fallen heros. I work on an Air Force Base supporting the C-130 Aircraft featured in the video, so this has even deeper meaning for me. Angel Flights have made appearances at the Base I work at on many occasions bringing our fallen soldiers back home. There is nothing more moving than seeing hundreds, and hundreds of base employess lining the flightline and the roads off Base paying tribute as the flag draped casket is driven by. God Bless our Soldiers!
The first time I heard this song was on the radio in the car. I had to pull over to the side of the road to finish listening to it. I had tears in my eyes and than tears falling down my face

@wentletube - My son came home on Angel Flight. He paid the ultimate sacrifice so jerks like you could talk like an idiot. May you never know the pain of losing a child. In fact do us all a favor, don't procreate your species.
As one who has had first hand use of one of these flights, it is mind-boggling to me to see so many use this great song as a soapbox to argue about this war. Whether or not this war is a "Legitimate" war has nothing what so ever to do with the song. It is simply a tribute to the folks who fly the planes that bring our casualties back to us. I think you jerks need to get a life!!
Amazing Song! I am part of family group of men lost on C-47 #43-48308, an "Angel Flight" from WWII that was bringing home remains of 39 fallen airmen (mostly POW's from Rangoon Jail) to be laid to rest on U.S. soil. Plane also carried 11 living men, bringing total lost to 50. Plane went down in storm on May 17, 1946 and was never found. They never made it home. 6 decades later the crash site has been found! Now we pray that JPAC can bring them home! Google "bringhomec47" for more info.
You're my hero. I don't know what part you actually played in all of this, but every single vet has my undying gratitude for defending this great country, often with the ultimate sacrifice. The families of our fallen heroes are heroes to me as well. I just can't imagine it. I would like to get to know you. God bless you.
@mdf91181. Still waiting for one soldier to make it home safe and sound. Thanks.
@ you people who only find a place to start fights here. It is our families who make up this country, and make her stand strong. She will always stand strong, as long as we who are strong enough, continue to hold up the big mouthed fools who will stand behind my skirt when the real threats come. Our soldiers do not take lives. They save lives at any cost! Even the cost of their own lives. Fortunately they see tha
My hubby was a C130 pilot, and my son is a C130 aircrew Loadmaster. Both have done Angel Flights, and I've watched them land. Nothing is more humbling than listening to aircrew transmission when taking off, transferring tower ops contol, or landing when you hear "we have a Hero on board".
@deerkiller78 Thank you for His blessings. We truly have been blessed and protected all the years we served. As a mom, I still worry a lot, of course, for my son who still flies, also my son-in-law, who is in the same unit as my son. I've had the privilege of being a part of several Angel Flights, and listening on headset as Angel Flights from other units brought Heroes back home. I know how Darius Rucker felt about trying to get past the tears so that he could help perform the song,
Wast of money and lives? How old were you when Viet Nam was the portested war? How many of those returning from Iraq were spit on? How many of their families recieved calls calling their loved ones "baby burners"? So if anyone has a right to bitch about the war in Iraq is the VN Vet - not you! And FYI all WARS are a wast of money and lives, fought on lies or "personal" gains for the govenment they fight for - with a side benifit of freedom for the oppersed !
" You have no idea what it's like to live with NO HOPE." I see by that statement you have never been in a fire fight where you are faceing a foe that is 3 to your 1. You have never held a friend - no a brother - as his life's blood flowed out, you never have had to face a mother or a wife and tell them that their loved one will never will return to them. That is the look of no hope, the look of dispair, the look of hate, and the look of love and pride. I wast my words on you - COWARD!
What a wonderful tribute to all of our fallen heros as they make that final journey home and to those unsung Angels that guide them on their way. Thank you for sharing your gifts of music and words and for saying what those like me can only think in our hearts. It is with great honor and respect, I say thank you to those who perform this duty and that do so with the utmost dedication and respect to their fallen comrades. I salute you...
"I feel so bad that these men died for pointless reasons" - Many have "died for pointless resons" so you can have the freedom and right to say what is on your mind. Ask your self one question - What right do I have to say those who fight for freedom died pointlessly? What make thier death pointless are people like you Elchochkie, liveing a life enjoying family and friends bought on the blood of REAL MEN and Women!!
@kussmienearse I am sorry man but you are indeed confused of what has happened in Iraq. Do remember the reason for invading that country 10 years ago? it was not to "protect our freedom" please don't be so naive. That is what the government wants you to think. The real reason of invading Iraq was oil. we all know it. the current occupation is nothing more than an oppression. Wake up dude. the government lied to us! Saddam was never a threat! they are wasting money and lives over a lie!
Who the FUCK are the eleven assholes that disliked this video.....you eleven should be ashamed of yourselves......or they might be straight up against AMERICA ....and terrorist lovers
I was totally amazed when the C-130 flare drop formed a PERFECT set of angels wings @ 6:51 ! Made this video even more special.
My nephew (Loadmaster- USAF) has done a few of these flights & my son (U.S. Marine Corps) was honored to bring back a fallen comrade on one of these flights when he served in Iraq. Both of them stated it was one of the most proud and humbling moments in their lives.
This is a great video! Blessings to the pilots that fly the "Angel Flights" Thank you to the pilots for bringing our Heros home. Blessings to the families that have had their loved ones brought home by an Angel Flight. May they know that their soldiers did not die in vain. Thank you to the writers and singers of this song.
@hatmaker50 - I would also like to offer accolades and the highest respect for the "Escorts", who do indeed "escort" these fallen to their homeland. They serve silently, diligently, and most of all Proudly and Protectively, for our Fallen, rarely acknowleged. I wish to acknowlege them now, thank them, and tell them they also honor ME, a Veteran, each time they bring a brother/sister home! Thank You, Angels, pilots, crew, AND Escorts! I salute you! In God We Trust! -- J.Steve/Maddog
I feel so bad that these men died for pointless reasons. this isn't even a real war. its a neconservative occupation of special interest. It makes me so mad seeing such valiant men sent into harms way then some coming back dead over a lie!
@Elchochkie Ask the Iraqis who now have a chance to build the first democracy in an Islamic country. You have no idea what it's like to live with NO HOPE. You're a damn fool = Democrat.
@mozartfx1 Who is the democrat here? Why would we take them democracy when we don't even have a democracy? Don't know what you learned in high school but our country it NOT a democracy. it is a republic governed by the rule of law. Democrats what democracy. Smart people want to keep the republic and the constitution. I for certain am no Democrat and you are certainly not an informed person.What we have effectively done is installed a puppet government to steal everything from the Iraqi's.
@mozartfx1 What are you when you are Anti pointless unconstitutional wars and pro free markets..... let me give you a hint it's not Liberal or Conservative....
@egret1918 well for starters do you ever remember the congress making an official deceleration of war like it says to do in the constitution? was there ever a definable end to the war? why are we there now? the most powerful nation in the world can't take care of a a few hundred "terrorists"? You need to broaden your neoconned perspective.If the congress does not vote to go to war there is no end to the war. the founding fathers warned of this. as well as President Eisenhower.
@Elchochkie You may be right that this isn't a "declared" war (not decelerated; that means to slow down), but neither were the Vietnam war, the Korean war, the 1990 Gulf war, and every other conflict we've been in since WW2. I wonder if the families of those fallen troops would have felt any better if their sons and daughters had died in what you call a "real war". I'm betting you've never been anywhere near a war; you're just a small, nasty person with no life. Try getting one, you creep.
@jmcd7910 Are you twelve? Sorry it just seems so childish for an adult to insult rudely another adult for pointing out a different point of view. the reality is "Jim" That our founders designed the congress to be a blockade against tyrannical nonsensical wars. Simply if congress (who has a broader connection to the people) didn't start it how do they stop it? you have left the entire power of war for good OR bad in the hands of one man. What if last solder their didn't even need to die?
@Elchochkie Exactly what do you think a "real war" is? It seems to me that when Americans are deployed, fight and perhaps give there life it is a "real war"
For my son 40% disability, his best friend killed there in Iraq and other guys in his outfit who were wounded and killed I think this is a great tribute to them.
"I WANT TO THANK ALL OF OUR LOVING MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM ESPECIALLY MY OWN GUNNY WHO IS COMING HOME SOON FROM A LONG TIME ILLNESS AND PRAISE GOD SOON IN FULL RECOVERY". THANK YOU MY DEAR ANGELS FOR BRINGING THEM HOME AS YES, THE ANGELS ARE ALWAYS WITH YOU IN EVERY FLIGHT, GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES AS WELL, THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL AWESOME VIDEO, MUCH LOVE TO ALL AND RESPECT ~ OOORAHH!!!!
this is an amazing song and video. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS. and for you people that disliked the video you need to go stand in front of a moving train. You have no respect for the men and women that have died for this country. They should be honored for they're sacrifice to keep us free and so we can live the lives we do. @baritonebob1 humans will never stop fighting. its our nature to fight. the trick is to drop the weapons.
Thank God that there are men and women that will go to war to protect you and i and keep us free. We will never be able to stop all wars, so shut up and support those that make it possible for you and your warmongers friends to object to wars.
One of the best songs out there. Thank you and God bless to each and every one of our service men and women... and we are forever in debt to the ones that gave it all, for our freedom.

Send the "DISLIKES" back under the rock they crawled out from under. I wish they'd put their names and addresses down. I'd like to show them just how much I dislike their attitude towards veterans that have given their lives so these low lives can voice their opinions.

@sinnednurboc - Here is the flaw in your argument. No leader who was an atheist ever killed in the name of atheism. But every religious figure that has taken their people into battle has done so specifically in the name of religion. People have died at the hands of athiests, but it was not because they were atheists that they killed
blondla 10 months ago
@blondla Here's the flaw in your argument, but I'll let you do the footwork to prove it. How many Orthodox priests did Stalin kill in the name of eradicating "superstitious religious elements from scientific socialism?" How many Buddhist monks did the Khmer Rouge kill toward the same end? Mao, when he eradicated the "Four Olds" from Chinese culture? All of these leaders were motivated by an atheistic desire to purge God from the public consciousness, not merely a coincidence of belief.

At 550-555 they are checking in to a tower as they fly over, they must be in radio contact at all times and they switch contacts as they fly in different zones.

@jimmyg4life
You really need to think this position through a little more. A reasoned explanation of why people believe in God can be found in the books " I don't have enough faith to be an Atheist" and "Mere Christianity".
Regarding the concept that religion causes most of the suffering and death in the world consider that 20th century atheistic Nazism, Communism, etc.) have been responsible for over 181,000,000 deaths. Reason and common sense are definitely NOT on your side!

@jimmyg4life Hitler was not a Christian by the time he came to power (though he may have been born Christian).
Check out:
townhall.com/columnists/dineshdsouza/2007/11/05/was_hitler_a_christian and
answers.org/apologetics/Hitquote.html
And what about Communism? Do you also say the Communists were Christians?
What's so weak about the point that atheistic systems have killed over 181,000,000 in just the 20th century?
sinnednurboc 10 months ago
@jimmyg4life If Hitler was a Christian then the moon is made of green cheese. Talk about fairy tales. Hitler was born into a Catholic family, but no one becomes a Christian by physical birth, but only by spiritual birth. Jesus is the founder of Christianity and he gets to set the rules, not you. And what did Jesus say? Unless someone is born of the Spirit, they cannot see God's kingdom. Hitler said he would lie to get support, and he did. He was a Norse paganist, not a Christian.

Plane also carried 11 living men, bringing total lost to 50. Plane went down in storm on May 17, 1946 and was never found. They never made it home. 6 decades later the crash site has been found! Now we pray that JPAC can bring them home! Google "bringhomec47" for more info.

@kussmienearse I am sorry man but you are indeed confused of what has happened in Iraq. Do remember the reason for invading that country 10 years ago? it was not to "protect our freedom" please don't be so naive. That is what the government wants you to think. The real reason of invading Iraq was oil. we all know it. the current occupation is nothing more than an oppression. Wake up dude. the government lied to us! Saddam was never a threat! they are wasting money and lives over a lie!

I was totally amazed when the C-130 flare drop formed a PERFECT set of angels wings @ 6:51 ! Made this video even more special.
My nephew (Loadmaster- USAF) has done a few of these flights & my son (U.S. Marine Corps) was honored to bring back a fallen comrade on one of these flights when he served in Iraq. Both of them stated it was one of the most proud and humbling moments in their lives.
AMEN to the ANGEL FLYERS!!!

This is a great video! Blessings to the pilots that fly the "Angel Flights" Thank you to the pilots for bringing our Heros home. Blessings to the families that have had their loved ones brought home by an Angel Flight. May they know that their soldiers did not die in vain. Thank you to the writers and singers of this song.

@hatmaker50 - I would also like to offer accolades and the highest respect for the "Escorts", who do indeed "escort" these fallen to their homeland. They serve silently, diligently, and most of all Proudly and Protectively, for our Fallen, rarely acknowleged. I wish to acknowlege them now, thank them, and tell them they also honor ME, a Veteran, each time they bring a brother/sister home! Thank You, Angels, pilots, crew, AND Escorts! I salute you! In God We Trust! -- J.Steve/Maddog

I feel so bad that these men died for pointless reasons. this isn't even a real war. its a neconservative occupation of special interest. It makes me so mad seeing such valiant men sent into harms way then some coming back dead over a lie!

@Elchochkie Ask the Iraqis who now have a chance to build the first democracy in an Islamic country. You have no idea what it's like to live with NO HOPE. You're a damn fool = Democrat.

@mozartfx1 Who is the democrat here? Why would we take them democracy when we don't even have a democracy? Don't know what you learned in high school but our country it NOT a democracy. it is a republic governed by the rule of law. Democrats what democracy. Smart people want to keep the republic and the constitution. I for certain am no Democrat and you are certainly not an informed person.What we have effectively done is installed a puppet government to steal everything from the Iraqi's.

@Elchochkie Exactly what is a "real war" It seems to me when our loved ones are deployed, fight, and perhaps give their lives, it's a "real war"

@egret1918 well for starters do you ever remember the congress making an official deceleration of war like it says to do in the constitution? was there ever a definable end to the war? why are we there now? the most powerful nation in the world can't take care of a a few hundred "terrorists"? You need to broaden your neoconned perspective.If the congress does not vote to go to war there is no end to the war. the founding fathers warned of this. as well as President Eisenhower.

@Elchochkie You may be right that this isn't a "declared" war (not decelerated; that means to slow down), but neither were the Vietnam war, the Korean war, the 1990 Gulf war, and every other conflict we've been in since WW2. I wonder if the families of those fallen troops would have felt any better if their sons and daughters had died in what you call a "real war". I'm betting you've never been anywhere near a war; you're just a small, nasty person with no life. Try getting one, you creep.

@jmcd7910 Are you twelve? Sorry it just seems so childish for an adult to insult rudely another adult for pointing out a different point of view. the reality is "Jim" That our founders designed the congress to be a blockade against tyrannical nonsensical wars. Simply if congress (who has a broader connection to the people) didn't start it how do they stop it? you have left the entire power of war for good OR bad in the hands of one man. What if last solder their didn't even need to die?

@Elchochkie Exactly what do you think a "real war" is? It seems to me that when Americans are deployed, fight and perhaps give there life it is a "real war"

For my son 40% disability, his best friend killed there in Iraq and other guys in his outfit who were wounded and killed I think this is a great tribute to them.

this is an amazing song and video. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS. and for you people that disliked the video you need to go stand in front of a moving train. You have no respect for the men and women that have died for this country. They should be honored for they're sacrifice to keep us free and so we can live the lives we do. @baritonebob1 humans will never stop fighting. its our nature to fight. the trick is to drop the weapons.

Thank God that there are men and women that will go to war to protect you and i and keep us free. We will never be able to stop all wars, so shut up and support those that make it possible for you and your warmongers friends to object to wars.
