[xxsodapopisminexx]

when my brother came home for christmas from the army i did not want to let go of him when i huged him after that when he was leaving to go back i did not want to let of go of him so bad i miss him so much

[taylorfisher1962]

@xxsodapopisminexx

i know the feeling very well ... i hope he is home, for Christmas, this year .... Merry Christmas :)

[jcomaspd]

Awesome video, Late Merry Christmas.. I got a friend well hes more like a brother to me, hes overseas right now , he'll be back in October. I got to video chat with him on Christmas night and New Years Eve, it was very emotional. Hope your boys get back or already back. Tell them from me " thank you for fighting for our country and to be safe.

[taylorfisher1962]

@jcomaspd

Thank you, and a late Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, as well!

I am glad you got to visit with your friend through the holidays, it means a lot ... they are so far removed from life in the USA while they are gone ...

My boys are all back, stateside, at this time, however, my youngest will be deploying to Afghanistan in October ... so, it starts all over again ...

Take Care, I hope your friend makes it home safely,

God Bless

[xxsodapopisminexx]

my brother just lefted at 5:00 in the morning to go back to the army i miss him already and when i huged him good bye i did not want to let go of him but he is going to get out of the army in 2013 but i very proud of him

[MarineMASOC]

[taylorfisher1962]

@xxsodapopisminexx

Merry Christmas to you, too ... I'm so glad your brother is home now!!!! God Bless ... and please thank him, for me ...

[wyo7011]

That turd isn't even worthy of me repeating his name. By looking at his page, it appears he's a major liberal and/or had a bad experience with the military. Couldn't hack it perhaps? I'd be more than happy to help you pack your crap and move out of our fine country. I know he'd never do that because cowards like him love all the rights and freedoms we have because of their sense of entitlement. We think of our service members everyday. Semper Fi warriors and Merry Christmas!!!

[taylorfisher1962]

@wyo7011

... I couldn't agree with you more ...

Merry Christmas to you ... and Semper Fi

[nlkojak]

This is so nice. I spent 15 months in Iraq and got home 6 days before Christmas and the support and love I got from home was the only thing that pulled me through. Thank you for sharing.

[taylorfisher1962]

@nlkojak

... thank YOU, for serving ... it is people like you, that make this country great ... God Bless, I'm so glad you are home now ...

[taylorfisher1962]

... I apologize the the people who were rudely attacked by the jackwagon 'jaxelrosh' ... the loser has been blocked and can do no more harm, I've also removed the rotten conversations he was having with you ... again, my sincere apologies ...

[xxsodapopisminexx]

@lovingUSMCgf i hope that he comes home safe to you i am praying for him and u god bless our troops!!! :)

[jalexrosh]

@OdysseyCheerBadass Your all blah blah... You know what a terorist is? Have you seen one in person? Wanna see one for real? Like in front of your house?

[xxsodapopisminexx]

i think about my brother when i watch this video everytime i want him home so bad i miss him he is in the army i have not seen him for about a few mouths and he is coming home for christmas and then he has to go back in for a another long time he has to stay in arizona unlit october i miss him so much!!!!!! :'(

[originalcyclopsidos]

GOD Bless our fighting men and women. May they come home with the honor they deserve. If it's GOD's will, I hope they ALL get to hug their loved ones again. Merry Christmas to our finest and bravest.

[taylorfisher1962]

@originalcyclopsidos

Thank you so much ... I apologize for the rudeness of 'jaxelrosh' ... he has been removed ... Merry Christmas, to you and yours ...

[akgirly92]

This is so sweet, I don't personally know anyone over seas at the moment, but too all who are serving far away and at home, thank you so much <3 lots of love going out to you everyday! I live in a huge military friendly community (Anchorage Alaska, we have LOTS of amazing military men and women here) So everybody knows somebody who serves. Ya'll come home soon and safe! We love you here in AK <3 MERRY CHRISTMAS! <3

[taylorfisher1962]

@akgirly92

Thank you so much for your support ...

Merry Christmas to you ... I'm sorry for the attack by the loser, 'jaxelrosh' ... he's been removed ...

[MonicaLily8]

Thank you ma'am this video is wonderful and shows that the military aren't monsters how everyone thinks they are,they're human beings hell they're better.my daddy was in the Marine Corps for half my life and I remember one X-mas he couldn't come home in time, I didn't mind I knew he was protecting all of us but I missed him with all my being.The marines have always been my second family and I will die to protect them as many of them have done for us

-Devil Pup from SD

[taylorfisher1962]

@MonicaLily8

Thank you so much for your very kind comment ... not all of them have been ... I delete the trash~talkers, because, I too, will always defend the military ... they fight for us over there, I'll take care of what I can, over here ... I am grateful for your dad's service ... please thank him for me ... my dad, was also a Marine ...

... I hope your family has a very Merry Christmas ... take care

[jalexrosh]

@taylorfisher1962 You can read this and get mad and then go ahed and block me. FUCK YOU BASTARD,YOU AND YOUR KILLING BASTRADLY EVIL PIG FACED WOMEN AND CHILDREN SLAUGHTERIN BUTCHERS!! YOU ALL WILL BE KILLED SOON!

[taylorfisher1962]

@lovingUSMCgf

[abcd1234781]

Ive got a question for any soldiers. I want to join when im older whether or not it would be traumatizing. Just wanted to know if the war actually keeps you truamatixed forever or if its something you get used to.

[taylorfisher1962]

@abcd1234781

... I am only the mother of my Marine and Sailors ... and all I really know is that it is something you will live with all of your life ... it all becomes part of you ...

Good luck to you, whatever you do ...

[yakuza539]

[taylorfisher1962]

@yakuza539

You are more then welcome to put this on your myspace page ... I'm really glad you liked it, and Thank You for your service!!

[pbkid96]

Thank you dad and bro you will always be loved. I hope i can serve someday like you two did. I cry on everyone of my birthdays because that is when my bro and dad both died in afghanistan R.I.P I LOVE YOU GUYS. And thank you to all the people in what ever country have served or will serve. Thank you. And this is a very beautiful song. Once again thank you.

[edward0cullen0lover1]

God Bless ...

[SnappyTune22]

He's a Marine too! He has plans to be here for this Christmas, but you know the military! ha ha! god bless!

[xxsodapopisminexx]

[SnappyTune22]

@xxsodapopisminexx yeah as long as my bother goes nowhere in the mideast im okay but he misses everything. like my niece being born and seeing her grow.... just be proud

[taylorfisher1962]

@SnappyTune22

[SnappyTune22]

@taylorfisher1962 yeah and i totally am, i have someone fighting for me, how great is that???

[taylorfisher1962]

[SnappyTune22]

[GOTHGAM08]

Most of my past family has been in the Army. My Great grandpas, my grandpa in the air force, and my teacher was there for a hella long time too. This makes me cry, but at the same time think that our army is strong and we love them. Thanks dudes and dudettes.

[taylorfisher1962]

@DearSantaaa

Thankyou! I love the song, too, so I did some research ... it is a 6 year old little girl that wants to no fame, and chose to remain annonymous. The song was released thru a group called 'The Song Trust' ... I think it came out in 2006!

[Daizpik9]

Im crying.

my daddy is in the marines and is coming on december 11 to see me and my family. im so happy :] All i rlly want is 4 my daddy to come home safe and sound. Im relieved every time when i get a call from him or a letter :] i love you daddy so much! ♥

Joeys Mom

[tannerrick]

Thanks for making this. My son Brent is in the same battery as Joe and he is in the video with is his girl Hannah. Joe stayed with us a couple of weekends in SC and you should be proud of him and all of our boys. My son just turned 20 on the front line of freedom and as a dad I could not think of a better gift to the world than what these young men are doing.

[taylorfisher1962]

Oh my gosh, I know Tanner, we talk on myspace IM ... he is so awesome!!! Joey had told me so much about you all, thank you for having him over, he had such a great time!!! Joey turned 20, over there, also ... I am so very proud of all of these boys ... they are the ones, making 'the difference' ... thank you so much for writing ... I had so much fun making this ... they are the best of the best!!!

Take Care

~Frankie, Taylors Mom

[keen7636]

Thank you for the sacrifice your son is making to keep us all safe at home. God Bless all our service men and women. It's easy for so many of us to forget exactly what these brave young men and women do for us each and every day. Thank You

[taylorfisher1962]

Thank you so much, your support is appreciated so much more, then you will ever know ...

God Bless

[skyflyer900]

The Marines are probubly saying that they want their stop loss nptices to the repealed. That's what they probubly want. F'ing Bush keeping soldiers (like me) in the military beyond their contracted term of service. Thats BS.

[skyflyer900]

notices* to be* repealed, errors.

[taylorfisher1962]

This video was made for my son for Christmas...this is not the time or place to bash President Bush (who, by the way has kept our country safe for 7 years) ... you should have understood, that when you sign up for 4, you get 8 ... part of the deal, I am sorry you are so disgruntled ... my son believes in what he is doing ...

[ethicomm]

Thank you.

[taylorfisher1962]

... thank you ...

[allahakchew]

Truly beautiful.

Our military are our finest and bravest!

Merry Christmas and God Bless.

[taylorfisher1962]
