@Ashleyj110290 thank you for posting this video. It brought tears to my eyes knowing that I won't be home for Christmas. I am currently in Afghanistan and although it is not my first deployment, it is still hard to be away from home. Just know that we don't do this for the money or because we like the war, we do this so that our families and everyone in the U.S can enjoy their freedom..... Merry Christmas!
my father is in the army. hes not going to be here for Christmas this year. when he gets home...... he gets his presents. he'll be home for 2 weeks, then he has to leave again.
Thank you so much, my brother whos in the ifintary, is not gonna be home for christmas, hes only 19, and in germany.. im only 11, and on march 17, on my birthday, he wont be here. 3 years later ill be 14, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR ANY ONE IN THE ARMY/NAVY/MARINES<3
great tune great words, love the troops for all they do. but back then it was freedom today it is greed, politicians stink.200 billion left behind, wheres our share, we the tax payers, wheres our return, we send the troops because they are ours, not yours, you give us back our dead, but sit on your asses, so when they return, what do they return to? where is there jobs? or do they just wait till you get us chest deep in shit again for work. love my country love my troops cant say the same for my
This year I’d like for Christmas; a iPod, a computer, a dog, no wait scrap that,
Get on your sleigh, go to Afghanistan, get our soldiers and bring them home for Christmas, they deserve to be with their family's on Christmas. Post this as your status to show respect for our soldiers who won't be coming home for Christmas.
If you don't repost, I understand, you can't spend 6 seconds of your life to support soldier
It is strange, I don't usually let things affect me so. The only movie that I can think of that makes me cry is the end of Field of Dreams. This video, my girlfriend showed it to me. I am not sure when I started to cry, but I was full on tears by the end. I have spent 3 Christmas' overseas. This video caught me by suprise, I had always wondered if anyone takes a moment to think about where a soldier is sleeping.
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR PROTECTORS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE POND, WITHOUT YOUR COURAGE THIS WORLD WOULD BE A VERY NASTY PLACExxx my respect and love to you all, after listening to this story it really brings home just how much we owe to you and NO SOLDIER DESERVES TO SPEND CHRISTMAS ALONE, AND COLD......everyone of them deserves a place at someones table be it family friends or a supporter like me theres always room in my home for a serviceman /woman, its the least i could do to repay them xxx
I was so touched by this video, my heart was full, and my eyes were watering. We are such a spoiled nation, and take SO much for granted. Right now I just want to thank each and every soldier out there fighting and defending our country. You are my hero's, and I wish I could thank each of you personally. I am so proud to be an American and I am so thankful for YOU, our soldiers and fighters.
we had to do night before christmas parodies in school last year and i had my teacher pull this up and everyone was crying when it finished. i live right my an air force base, although i don't have anyone in the service i hope god bless all that are helping fight for this country :) thank you :)
Upon hearing this, I thought of my first x-mas in veit nam, and all the rest that I missed during the next 2o years, wouldn't have done it any other way. We serve to ensure that everyone can have x-mas. Your thoughts for us are how you serve and we are truely bless because of them. God bless this county and people like you who live in it
first time hearing this ...yes i had a tear in my eye. i am a mother of a serving scottish soldier and i'm oh so very proud of what he does , even if terrified , our families are united here in remembering our boys n girls each and every day . thankyou to each of you xx
i made my 7 and 11 year old boys listen to this and explained what it means and no matter how lonley i was stationed over seas it was nothing compared to how proud i was to serve in the army and even today i still consider myself a soldier
@Ashleyj110290 Theres no need to thank me Ill gladly serve a thousand lives over for every one person that is like you. Thankyou again and never forget. that is thanks enough.
@Ashleyj110290 You really dont have to thank me... i do this for you and all like you. This is my choice and id do it again a thousand times over. and die a thousand times over for you if need be. THankyou thankyou so much.
@Ashleyj110290 i agree, thank you for YOUR service in sayin' thank you. i am a bit older than most here [assumption]. coming home after this "service" and being spit on/ridiculed is NOT a good feeling. so i must remind anyone/everyone who will listen // soldiers do not make wars, politiicians do //
As a soldier in Iraq this Christmas day, 2010, on my first tour in Iraq, I want to say thank you to all of you back home who support us. It's really nice to see people making things like this. Our DFac here on FOB Warrior is plastered with posters and banners from back homes with people's names signed on them. Again, thank you.
@demize12 i can never thank you enough for the service you've done for our country and for all of us. Its because of all of you that we are able to live our lives. I'm 18, i've thought about entering the military, my parents strongly oppose it. But it seems to me, its the most meaningful thing I could do...Please remember there are good people that you've fought for. Thank you so much.
Thank you all for your comments. I am a soldier currently serving in Afghanistan. It is hard to be away but this is my 3rd Christmas away from home and it doesn't get easier. But then I look on here and see all of the thankful people and I know, my fighting doesn't go in vein. Thank you all again!
~A Soldier serving in Afghanistan 2010 - 2011 Tour
my husband is overseas n he is serving his country n protecting us all. u ppl have no idea what this song means. this is our first christmas n were having to spend it apart. we havent spent nt one holiday together n we wont even spend our first anniversary together. u cant even imagine the kind of stress that puts on newlyweds.
We cannot be with you over there but we hold you with every beat of our hearts. You are the reason we rest at night. It brought us great joy to help Santa deliver gifts to those you left behind at home. Don't worry, fighting forces. We've got 'em covered. Merry Christmas and come home safe when your tour is done.
This is the late Father Ted Berndt and his daughter, Ellen Stout. People in the Milwaukee area may know Ellen and her husband Dick from their 20+ years on the radio. Very beautiful rendition.
It makes you wonder, it really does. I heard this and I just cried. My heart will always be with soldiers and God Bless them. Merry Christmas, and I apreciate my soldiers.
Knowing Elvis, Thank you. You have written and spoken the truth... Freedom has a price... a VERY high price. God has a special place for Veterans, our countries finest men and women. Never forget it is the Veteran past and present who paid that price for you and me. When you see and Veteran shake his or her hand and thank them for their service. I want to wish a Very Merry Christmas to all my fellow Veteran & Active Duty Brothers and Sisters, May God Bless all of you!
I heard this version tonight, and I cried. I have my husband and brother deployed and they will be alone this Christmas along with many of my friends. It should make all realize the sacrifice these brave men and women do for our safety. God Bless all our Soldiers this holiday season!
God Bless our troops, I'm the proud mother of 2 US Marines.... I am proud of my boys and anyone who served and is serving our great country. Thanks for posting this song. Made me think of my boys. One of them is home for the holidays, the other one is in Basic training. God Bless America, God Bless the Armed Forces.. Semper Fi
This is a beautiful tribute to all our heroes! May God Bless them and their families! You're in my thoughts and prayers. Allstars and Thumbs Up! Thanks IF, for a wonderful share!
I would like to say thank you for all you do with all my heart. You all are truelt the heroes of our Nation. Thanks to the maker of this video for this beautiful remembrance of our soldiers. Let"s remember to pray for them this Christmas and to be thankful for them and pray for their safe reuturn home. Thank you so much God Bless, Hugs & Smiles, Love, Jan
Thanks to my beautiful, sweet. friend IF for sharin this wonderful video with me. All those wonderful brave men and women who lay their lives on the line everyday for us here at home so we can continue to enjoy our freedom and libe here in the land of the free and home of the brave because of themGod bless everyone of them and their families this Christmas and keep them safe .
I cried the first time as a young boy when I heard this song. I now cry again as an older person. Please all those soldiers and their families. The bravest men and women in the world.
Thank you to all that have served..... God's speed and blessing on each one of you. I have know alot of soldiers in my life and most have not come home.... for those of you that are over seas now.... remember you are not alone.
i dont agree USA politics war in iraq and afganistan but i respect all soldiers there. it's not theyr fault to beeing there.. but peace have high price and thats sad but its true
This song gives me chills every time.. I love it. My brother is home from Bagram, Afghanistan. 82nd Airborne. Thank you to every service man and woman.
Thank you from one lonely military wife on christmas. this brought tears to my eyes, wonder if thats how my husband and all our deployed friends feel.. It is so lonely here on the home front, i cant imagin how thy feel over there in Iraq. God bless our men and women of the us armed forces on the chrismas day. And god bless
This one's going out to Bravo Company, 501st Infantry, Hue/Phu Bai, 1969-70. You were the best of the best. Still are. Merry Christmas and welcome home.
I am a High school student who signed up 2 serve 4 the marines today and that video made me teary eyed but not cause i was scared but i now know i made the right choice
I have been retired for 4 years now. I cry when I hear taps. We few know the price of our freedom. I really hate living amoung the sheepppl that do not get it! I really wish that I could have died in combat with my brothers!
Not just for America my friend ;) for the Entire World, Britan, Spain, China, all those Countrys. If they had no Army, they would be defenceless and in ruins.
As a UNITED STATES NAVY Corpsman..Im active duty and havent been home in 2 years. Everytime I hear this, i get chocked up. Please pray for our soldiers abroad and at home so that one day no SOLDIER has to spend another holiday alone!!! Merry Christmas to all.. Today I will be taking care of the wounded, the heart broken, the saddened, and with my tear filled eyes i will give them my love, my best and wish them the best...
that was beautiful, i cant explain, but i thank all the soldiers over seas and even the ones at home, that they will willing fight for us whenever they are called upon. no words can describe your bravery and courage. you all make a better tomorrow.
thank you all, Merry Christmas, and may you all return soon.
I thank you for puting the photos and the story together it really brings the reality home. God Bless all the soldiers who give us the freedom to surf the net and sleep at night.
Thank you for this beautiful poem and Thank you to all of our troops who put their lives on the line each and everyday so that we may have freedom including my husband who have to be apart from their loved ones during this time of year ... Yet we are only physically apart, my husband still sits in my heart and mind everyday
This is so touching especially since I will be seperated from my husband due to this crazy war and all other soldier's seperated from their loved ones during this holiday time. It's hard enough being apart but during the holidays especially Christmas is hard for me. God Bless you for this beautiful poem..... Lord bring them all home safely and soon.
i couldn't help when i heard this. it makes me think how much i have gone through life taking my freedom likely. there are so many men and women who don't understand how much these soldiers are doing for us, they put their lives and their freedom n the line for us back home. they ask for nothing except to fight for us. they don't do it for themselves they do it for us. god bless you all. god bless you all
I remember when I first heard this on the radio last Christmas. I cried then as I still do now. This is such a beautiful poem and the pictures represent the American soldiers well. God Bless all those that are still out there fighting. Come home safe.
This brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times i watch it. I had spent last Christmas in Iraq and will be going back this January. God bless all our armed forces.
By the way...the President of the United States can only deploy troops for ninety days. Beyond that it is Congress...a heavily Democrat Congress... that keeps the troops there. I am speaking the truth, and am willing to bet you didn't know that. Look it up.
And if you are going to post that garbage on such a heartfelt, beautiful poem as this, you need a head-check. Keep it to yourself! Go bash the government on some ultra-liberal anarchy site. This is not your place.
I first heard this song on the way home from my grandmother's house last Christmas Eve, late in the evening. It's a 75 mile drive and i was by myself, no one else on the freeway. I cried so hard I was forced to pull over on the side of the highway and regain my composure. I enlisted in the Army in February.
The first time I heard it I cried as well, and i still get chills. Thank you so much for your service and all our service men. May God bless them and their friends and family
I herd this song for the 1st time yesterday on my way to pick up my daughter. I cried throughout the song and then some. I will be adopting a soldier as a gift to my family. Giving means so much more than receiving especially giving to a soldier who gave of freedom. Carol St Martin
monkeylad44 don't talk shit about bush when he did the right thing by sending us over there. i have been there 2 times already and i am volunteering for another deployment. Those people needed us over there. and were not there for the oil! We are there to free a country that needed it.
@pvtparish thankyou for your service and i wish i could of been there 2 but i have a med condition that did not let me in i hope you have a great christmas and newyear thank u again on behalh of me and boyscout troop 60 out of delcity ok
@pvtparish THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Media has cast an inaccurate light on this war. If we could go back in time and remove Hitler from power, would we? Better believe we WOULD! There was so much that led to this fight. It was so much more than 9/11 or possible WMD's (even the "possibility" of their existence was a global threat) or a dictator in power. Why didn't we hear all this outcry when we went into Bosnia to prevent genoside? We have even more reason to be over there!
I thank all the service men who are fighting for our freedom! I can not begin to give you the respect you all deserve! You put your self at risk for people who you've never met... how can you repay that? Well a million thanks and prayers to our soldiers and their families! YOur in our minds and always in our hearts!
My son is a solider and has been in Iraq and now is stationed far from home,I pray everyday for all the soliders that give us freedom, security and peace for all of Americans may they return safe to their families. I haven't seen my son in a very long time, and I pray that at some point I will see him again, although with MS I doubt that I will afford to do so and I miss him so especially at Christmas, and of course throught the year. I am so proud that he serves our great country.

Thank you for this beautiful poem and Thank you to all of our troops who put their lives on the line each and everyday so that we may have freedom including my husband who have to be apart from their loved ones during this time of year ... Yet we are only physically apart, my husband still sits in my heart and mind everyday
armysweetbaby 3 years ago 2
This is so touching especially since I will be seperated from my husband due to this crazy war and all other soldier's seperated from their loved ones during this holiday time. It's hard enough being apart but during the holidays especially Christmas is hard for me. God Bless you for this beautiful poem..... Lord bring them all home safely and soon.
armysweetbaby 3 years ago
i couldn't help when i heard this. it makes me think how much i have gone through life taking my freedom likely. there are so many men and women who don't understand how much these soldiers are doing for us, they put their lives and their freedom n the line for us back home. they ask for nothing except to fight for us. they don't do it for themselves they do it for us. god bless you all. god bless you all

I remember when I first heard this on the radio last Christmas. I cried then as I still do now. This is such a beautiful poem and the pictures represent the American soldiers well. God Bless all those that are still out there fighting. Come home safe.
Thanks for posting. It really means a lot.

I agree with Parish.
By the way...the President of the United States can only deploy troops for ninety days. Beyond that it is Congress...a heavily Democrat Congress... that keeps the troops there. I am speaking the truth, and am willing to bet you didn't know that. Look it up.
And if you are going to post that garbage on such a heartfelt, beautiful poem as this, you need a head-check. Keep it to yourself! Go bash the government on some ultra-liberal anarchy site. This is not your place.

I first heard this song on the way home from my grandmother's house last Christmas Eve, late in the evening. It's a 75 mile drive and i was by myself, no one else on the freeway. I cried so hard I was forced to pull over on the side of the highway and regain my composure. I enlisted in the Army in February.

monkeylad44 don't talk shit about bush when he did the right thing by sending us over there. i have been there 2 times already and i am volunteering for another deployment. Those people needed us over there. and were not there for the oil! We are there to free a country that needed it.

@pvtparish THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Media has cast an inaccurate light on this war. If we could go back in time and remove Hitler from power, would we? Better believe we WOULD! There was so much that led to this fight. It was so much more than 9/11 or possible WMD's (even the "possibility" of their existence was a global threat) or a dictator in power. Why didn't we hear all this outcry when we went into Bosnia to prevent genoside? We have even more reason to be over there!

If not for Bush and his band of idiots, we'd never
need to be over there in the first place...
I too, thank the soldiers for fighting, I just
wish they had a way of getting back home, there's
just no reason for them to be there.Peace.

My son is a solider and has been in Iraq and now is stationed far from home,I pray everyday for all the soliders that give us freedom, security and peace for all of Americans may they return safe to their families. I haven't seen my son in a very long time, and I pray that at some point I will see him again, although with MS I doubt that I will afford to do so and I miss him so especially at Christmas, and of course throught the year. I am so proud that he serves our great country.
