  • hi all, I am a jetpilot within the german airforce and never had to face a real combat, except some recconaisance missions and mainly we are looking down to the guys doing the hardest job on earth...I want to express my deepest respect to all soldiers at warzones on this planet and my deepest respect to the families who lost their beloved.

    May god bless all soldiers and their families.

  • 82nd Airborne Vet turn filmmaker working on a film to be part of a memorial for soldiers we have lost. Please check out my pledge campaign for the film. The film deals with vets with PTSD, falling soldiers and a distressed system. For certain pledges I will be offering invitations, at the film companies expense, for you to come to a recorded chat with the filmmakers on any type of military experience you or a family member you may have had. The recorded footage will be made into a dvd with film.

  • wel usually i have something to say.. not this time.. last letter home.. wow!!

  • Thanks to everyone who have viewed my video...glad y'all have enjoyed it. Wasn't expecting this many views but it was a pleasant surprise. To all those enlisting and wanting to enlist...GET SOME....to those serving or have served Semper Fi brothers and sisters....sleep tight where ever you are...the chosen "few" will have no issues sleeping tonight.

  • Remember this Christmas; when you're eating your dinner, smiling and laughing, that in another house somewhere, there's an empty chair where a Hero should be sitting. They gave up their life so that you can sit with your family. So light a candle for the Heroes that did not make it home and for those who are still serving out in Afghanistan! god bless our soldiers<3<3

  • GOD BLESS AMERICA.!!

    Every soldier is in my prayers. thank you for what you guys are doing.

    you are the reason for our freedom.

  • @Rundown18 I'm goin to basic trainin Feb of 2011, maybe we'll run into each other soldier.

  • @Rundown18 Oohrah!! Semper Fi.

  • they played this at My ex's funeral that got killed in Iraq GOD rest his soul

  • I plan to join the Marines when I turn 18, and I wanted to die in it, because I had no other meaning in life, other than the need to want to fight for my country, but after thinking about all those that I'd leave behind if I did achieve what I wanted to...it makes me want to survive, in the name of all the lost soldiers, who died, not because they hoped they would, but because some asshole took their life. I'll stand shoulder to shoulder with my brothers in arms until the end. God Bless America.

  • @RenegadeXavier

    I completly agree with everything you said because i had the same feeling. The day i turn 18 i will be enlisting to fight for the country. Aund i also cant wait to stand side-by-side with my brothers and sisters in combat.

  • @RenegadeXavier good for you i am in the stages in joining the parras and im 16 and im doing it for almost the same reason as you to fight for your country for the others who have fallen in combat for my family

  • ahhh real sad not all the soliders r going to burn in hell starting wars on poor countrys all the time.cant fight a super power you devils can stay in all muslim countrys because it might take years and years but they will finish the invaders.im a muslim and im telling u stay in afghanistan and iraq because you white people will never ever be able to walk down the street like a normal person

    this war has not even started for the muslims yet and you pussy want out all ready.

  • @mrbigggieee

    why are you speaking english.?!

    fuck you.

  • @mrbigggieee know what hippie go spew your hate somewhere else. Show some goddamn respect to those have fallen. oh but i forgot it your pussie ass religion got to attack unarmed civilians or hold people hostage to get someone of your own countries to do your own cowardly deed. you want to talk sematics i bet you dont even believe that WW2 even happened at that thousands of innocents died becasue of a tyrant just like those of radical islamic beliefs.

  • A Big oorah to my fallen Marines, a huge amount of respect for the soldiers who gave it all as well. Cant wait to fall in formation with the rest of my marines in heaven :*)

  • @agarcia2511 ooh rah...well said...when my time comes I will be Guarding Heavens Gates with my brothers and sisiters...Semper Fi....

  • I swore to myself 4 years ago that I would never watch these tributes videos after I lost my brother in Iraq. Feeling sorry for him is not what he would have wanted. This is like my 5th video ive watched today. Ive been crying through each one - Matty , Mom and all of us think of you everyday. - Im sure golf is good in Hevan, get your A game ready

  • I am currently in Afghanistan, and sometimes I just need a good cry, but it's hard to let yourself turn on those emotions out here. I watch the homecoming video's and close my eyes thinking of the day I will be able to go home to my little boys, we are at a point in our deployment now where we can count the days. This video is amazing, and makes me fear something happening and me leaving this world and my babies.

  • SOME SAY FREEDOM IS FREE! BUT I HAVE TO DISAGREE! FREEDOM WAS WON BY A BARREL OF A GUN!

  • was 2:30 a citadel cadet?

  • Just wanted to say thank you, as a MARINE wife, I know the heartache of watching a loved one get on the bus to face the uncertainties of war. When I read the letter at 2:10, I totally lost it, It looked a letter my husband had given one of his MARINES on his 3rd deployment. Again, thank you for you dedication and selfless service . Good blessings to you and yours always, you are in my prayers.

  • thank you to ALL those men and women serving god bless you all!!

  • So long as Satan exists freely, there will be wars!!!

    But he will be dealt with soon and then....

    " The dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Rev. 21:4

    I pray that day comes soon!!!

  • God Save us.

I am sure your son misses you and your daughter will be all to proud of the father she never got to meet. And to your wife if she ever sees this. Hold tight. He's watching you from Heaven. And I am sure when it rains it is him crying because he misses you all so much. RIP to all our Fallen. God only cries for the living. And god Bless the ones left behind.

  • god bless america!!! R.I.P

  • Excellent Tribute!

  • Such a sad video.I pray we as a nation, and as a world never forget the sacrifice those brave men and woman made standing up and fighting. If your for or against the war, only a fool can''t see that in the end we are all safer for having made the effort.

  • We lost many brothers out there. This video is touching to say the least but also brings out the importance of hanging on to those you love who serve in combat. Tomorrow is never guaranteed...and thats true for everyone.

  • Fuckin' outstanding video Marine.

  • @Vehement524 Thank you Semper Fi

  • I hate this war! But I love the these brave warriors who are putting their lives on the line day in and out for a war that in my opinion was unesessary. This should be played on every channel everyday so we don't forget that we are still fighting this. Instead everyone is so concerned with a dead pop star who didn't do a damn thing for us expcept dance and sing. My thoughs are with all those who sacrifice for me and my family and ask nothing in return. God bless and hurry home.

  • i am a Marine and i feel your pain with my friends lives. Thank God i'm still alive. I hope you find your peace soon.

  • I Cry..I AM a bull Dog at 17 ,,I wanted to go to war. The Marines Were really screwed up in 78 when i enlisted..Drugs Used in the barracks all night..THere was no control at all! I feel dam guilty this war did happen for me.

  • whats this song called?

  • if your reading this-tim mcgraw.

  • 1:34 IS VERY SAD THANK U FOR SERVING

  • To Spartan4321 I'm with you...My bestfriend got KIA by an IED we were both hit and I agree with you why am'i still here ill never really know...2nd Infantry Division you have my respect man...god bless you

  • omg wat a sad video :(

  • I'm a former Marine. 0331 Support Gunner E5 Ortiz-Gohn. At a funeral for my older brother Tyler I presented his folded flag to my nephew his son. We had both risked our lifes to save 9 other Marines. I got my left arm and leg blown off. My older brother was KIA. Why am I still here? Why didn't I die with him that day? The look on his son's face I'll never forget. He said to me "Dad is free now, he earned it." What about me, have I earned it yet?

  • Spartan, youve earned the utmost respect from every freedom loving person in this world. There could never be enough thanks for the sacrifices of you and your family. God bless

  • I know there is nothing i can do spartan im sorry and thank you for serving my hole family was in the military the day i get that folded up flag will be the worst of the rest thank you.

  • Yes u did

  • do u type with 1 hand? :(

  • nita2527 Thank's GOD Bless You!

  • This video brings out the best in me because thats all i got. I learned that rom my cousin who was the biggest influence in my life an he died in Iraq. An he always told me to be strong so i will for him an i will be the best marine i can be, just like him!

  • thank u for serving

  • I love every man and woman who's giving their life for this country and there's no higher honor than serving your country , you're all so very brave.

  • i understand that the mother usually gets the flag or if the mother is dead the wife gets it, but does the child get it if there isn't either a mother or wife????

  • There are only four questions of value in life.

    What is sacred ?

    Of what is the spirit made for?

    What is worth living for?

    What answer to each is the same. Only LOVE

  • God and jesus, please make this world a better place and bless our troops. God and Jesus, I love you so much.

  • If you care, you can't hang up your boots and spurs right now. I'll stretch that all day at a ceremony. Booots and spurs had nothing to do with it.

    If you think your loved one died for some relativist cause think again. I'm not asking you not to mourn or to grieve, I'm just telling you not to retire your sidearm, and the worst is yet to come. All this from a Marine Veteran.

  • your right

  • Fuck you.

  • Why can no on on this earth spell the word "you're" correctly?

  • Do you really need to bring that up? This is for the soldiers, airmen, and seamen. YOU'RE not nice.

  • Semper Fi. Im Pvt. Brown with the United States Marins Corps. May god be with all those families that lost a loved one over there.

  • when i listen to this i think bout my big bro hes in the armed forces and all i think bout is him going over and not comming home alive and it kills me and it hurts me to listen to this now but i love this song

  • GOD BLESS everyone who has and is fighting. I am praying for you all. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

  • 1:37 gets me everytime I watch this video...

    From one Marine veteran, to all who have served n continue to serve...Thank you!!!

    To all who have gone b4 us...U will never be forgotten!!!!!! God Bless!!!!

  • What about the million iraqi civilians killed by US imperialism in the last 7 years? Oh wait, they are brown. STAY SAFE WHITE PEOPLE

  • shut the f*ck up lib

  • Hey, fuck you! If it weren't for us they would be still ruled by a dictator who used seran gas on his own people! They are much better off now than then. You are an un-patriotic pussy.

  • marines do not died we regroup in hell. semper fi brothers and sisters.

  • i had lost alot of loved ones in iraq the famely creed was born a soldier die a soldier they took it to heart and so have i i go to basic in 2.5 years

  • Great stuff of course - fantastic soldiers see Albert Jacka.

    Also see the stunning Mr Churchill speeches

  • i have a friend in the service and i hope he comes home safe: GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS

  • God bless the soldiers of America. I'm proud to call myself an american when i see you in action. For all you in Iraq, were thinking and praying for you. Thank you again for giving me a reason to live - Freedom.

  • Never forget their sacrifice. Never think they "could have done great things in this world" because they died DOING great things. Never say it did not matter.

    They were sons & fathers. They were mothers & daughters.

    They died for you. They died for me.

    You may not agree with why we're there, but we are. It's not our choice. It's our job. It's our dedication to giving others the chance to live as we do.

    When they are forgotten, all is lost.

    Roll on my brothers and sisters!

    Heroes to me forever.

  • thankyou for posting your comment, it means alot to me. last week in the town of freetown massachusetts, a young man named tyler trahan lost his life in iraq. he wasa navy seal. he was 22yrs old. he came from a military family, 3 generations. i ask you to keep him in your prayers along with his family. thanks again, god bless

  • OORAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!you've got a brain. =)

  • good because it was several of my cousins job and they died for it

  • freedom is not free

  • i smack the people who talk shit about the men and woman in the armed forces fighting for our freedom, and trying to stay alive freedom is free cuz of the brave

  • SEMPER FI......THANK YOU

  • First time I heard this song I cried. Watching this video, it is such a waste of good men and women. We can not do enough for them and their families. God Bless them all.

  • such amazing men and women who stand at the front lines for our freedom saying thank you seems so small for the gift you have given us.... "FREEDOM"!

  • Thank you for saying that, my brother is actually in the army and is in ait for 1more week then we get to see him for a month before he is shipped to south korea for more training but after that idk i just hope and pray god with keep my older brother safe, Freedom is free because of the brave, Remember that.

  • rip dad 4-18-09

  • God bless him

  • rip dad 4-18-09

  • rip to all that died....im crying!

  • One thing assholes dont understand is that it takes a soldier's life, just for even an hour of freedom

    ~my dad~

  • T.T i almost died....i use to live close to the battlefield and lost a friend...who ran out in the battlefield to find her little brother

  • *gulps* R-really?

  • its sad when one must die to save other the sad part of knowing that u will never see u family thank you too the soldiers who fought strong and well may they rest now for their actions here have made a great impact in our freedom

  • i cried:(

  • God Bless Our Troops and Thank You for keeping America free!

  • Very well done video.

    You made a gray haired old biker cry....and I thank you for that.

    Freedom isn't free!

  • The one bad thing about going to battle all have to write this last letter home and do so with welcome abandon and go to battle to keep our freedoms alive and i prasie every man and woman who do this for our coutnry

  • My older brother is in training for the Marines. I didn't want him to but... I really miss him and this song just made me start to cry because I miss him so much he and I were REALLY close and I really miss him!

  • I Love your video. Its very touching. My fiancee is in Iraq right now. Semper Fi-

    Proud Marine Fiancee. Always Faithful.

  • Semper Fi

  • Que Dieu accueille et protège tout ces Marines tombés au combat !!!

    Cette vidéo est vraiment émouvante, beaucoup de courage aux familles des victimes de cette effroyable guerre !!!

    God bless All of you !!! Semper FI !!!

  • Strange how some people want to blame Bush for all of this, even though this is all the result of a terrorist attack on our country. If they had never done what they did, we wouldn't have to do what we do and that's an undeniable fact. Even at a time such as this, they are unable to show even the smallest part of respect or gratitude. As a Vietnam Vet, a lover of my freedoms and with a grateful heart, I thank you for all you do!

  • i feel the same way it not his fault her just doing what best for the country.

  • May God stay with the families as their loved ones fight for freedom. And that he will help protect them as they bravely fight.

  • Just wanted to say I love your videos very moving.

    PROUD USMC GIRLFRIEND

  • god bless you brothers!!!!! semper fi

  • OOOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!

  • pointless? hey u ignorant fuck if we werent over there fighting they woul dbe over here killing all of us, their job is not pointless, they are fighting for us and dumb ass people like yourself so u can be save..... this is te that ame9903.

    r.i.p us troops

  • i see your point but they wouldnt be over in US killin us, and the war is rather pointless however it doesnt change the fact that our soldiers are great people fighting for their country.

  • Remember, every time you exercise even the smallest portion of your freedoms and rights, your saying "send them".

  • Wow, I went to highschool with Holly. Reast in peace, Holly. Thank you for everything you have done. You will never be forgotten. <3

  • I feel sorry for the families of those who died. But I feel worse that their deaths were so pointless.

  • the way these men & women died were not pointless, they fought and died in God's glory.....You gave them a reason to fight, and they didn't even know you.......Freedom isn't free, we know this!!!

  • I feel sorry for ame9903 who apparently has never stood up and fought for the innocent or the weak and must not understand that our country has always and hopefully will in the future continue that legacy. The world is full of bullies and if we don't do what has to be done, they will end up dominating the ignorant weak and timid souls who complain about our involvement but will be the first to call for help if thier ass is in danger.

    SEMPER FI TO ALL

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE CORPS NOV 10TH,1775

  • dont say that

    i want to do that...

  • Awesome video. The song gets me every time, it hits so close to home. My husband (who followed his father's foot steps) was KIA when I was pregnant with our little girl. And I got a letter basically the same.

  • God bless our fallen. We will never forget their sacrifice. At one time, each of these heroes wrote a check to the American people, made payable up to and including their very lives. May we ever honor our true American HEROES.

  • my husbands in Iraq right now I pray to God every night that I don't get one of these beautifully done.....Saluting those who proudly serve! Hooah
