  • That last clip, the memorial. Touching

  • @sierraxr4icosie Thank you for your friendly visit.....kindly!

  • UNCLE SAM WANTS YOU! to DIE in a foreign desert so rich oil barons and pussy-ass corrupt politicians can get richer! I am an 11.5 year vet. Got out in 07, Just graduated college, now I can't find work, have no money, and the government has essentially told me to go screw myself. EVERYBODY---STOP joining the military. All we do is steal resources from other countries. Service men/women pay in blood, tears and pain and then thrown to the streets. DON"T JOIN EVER!

  • I always think of the movie "Ghost" when I hear this.

  • @lacrossegirl57 Sure, thanks for visiting....kindly!

  • Thank You .

  • @johnh887 You are most welcomed John.....kindly!

  • Omg seriously explain how can someone hate that songg !!!

  • @StillComedy For sure, thanks for visiting......kindly!

  • Thanks man!

  • @skidoo261 Thank you for taking the time......kindly!

  • This video has made me see this song in a different light...thanks for the insight

  • @morlandh Thank you for taking the time......kindly!

  • This video made me see this song from a different light. It made me cry from thinking of when my fiancee was over seas and made me remember how much I missed and worried about him. It also makes me think about how things will be when I get into the military now that he is getting meded out. Thank you for remembering our troops and their families.

  • @britzyXgirlX09 Thank you two and your families for your service and sacrifice, stay safe.....kindly!

  • @britzyXgirlX09 hey i do still from vietnam i was a crewchief on dustoff talking to the soldiers when you get them on board talking to keep them from going in shock talk about their girls an wives back home. i still cry every time i here it

  • Though this song was originally recorded in 1955, it was written by Hy Zaret in 1936, when Europe was feeling the rumblings of World War II.

  • @bestowbeauty7 Thanks very much for that information, have a great week ahead.....kindly!

  • @Somewheremaybe And I definitely should thank you for uploading this; the images are powerful and convey honest emotion that guys would probably hide from most of the men they serve with, most of the time. It's good to be reminded of the sacrifices they make to help keep their mother country secure and flourishing. Then I will let my gratitude compel me not to take for granted the blessings which are bestowed on me, and to strive to be as unselfish and courageous as they.

  • Always loved this song, and today i found out it was the #1 song in the UK the day i was born!

  • @TheSl3t Wow, thanks for your friendly visit.....kindly!

  • its been 15 years I still waiting for you to come back to me

  • Like my Commentt Iff Yu Luv Thiss Song?

  • @xOB3Yx1 Thanks for visiting!

  • Thanks for posting such wonderful song. I will reckon it as the song of the century!!!

  • @MoazzamAnwar I think you are right and thanks so much for taking the time......kindly!

  • @Somewheremaybe I served from 70-96 (a 4 year break for college). No singer or group has performed this song with the emotional intensity of the Righteous Brothers, to include many of the greats. My children (grown) feel it's sad. For me, it's a Happy song (and I hide the tears). It causes me to think, remember, and appreciate the treasure God has given. The melody and words are not mine. The memories and emotions are. I have that in common with millions of others. It is not sadness,only love.

  • @gdawsey Thanks for a lifetime of service, and for sharing your story.....please visit anytime.....kindly!

  • Being military and growing up listening to oldies I can relate to this song in every way! Thanks for the video!!

  • @marissarojas90 Many thanks for your service and for taking the time, please visit anytime....kindly!

  • A very powerful tune that still evokes powerful memories. I recall dancing to this song with a young army nurse in an officer's club in Saigon (Rex Hotel) in late 1970. As the song went on, outwardly, we could have been at a high school dance back home except for the uniforms. At the same time we were both overcome with thoughts of those we had left back in the US, and the feeling it was so far away as to be untouchable. Thanks for posting this. 1LT USMC, HMM-263. (usually at Marble Mountain)

  • @penquinbum Thanks for sharing and for your service and sacrifice......kindly!

  • I am ashamed. i love you Fred. Thanks for your service. H

  • The most beautiful song ever made. Thanks for sharing. 

  • @SuperBrotherBob You bet,take care....kindly!

  • i am greatful for those who have fought and died our country no matter what war it was for.

  • @BNSF1985 Thanks for your visit, I appreciate it.....kindly!

  • I grew up in a country at war. Growing up behind windows with sandbags in front, 6 ft electrified fencing was not joke either, however I felt safe. If I were now living in that same country with the pretence of democracy and so called freedom I would run a mile. Despotic rulers do NOT deserve the freedom they give themselves yet deny the very people who voted them in.

    To those very soldiers trying to make our world free. THANK YOU. God bless and we will never forget you

  • @Magzimac I appreciate you taking the time, kindest regards!

  • War is one of the reasons why i hate mankind, but for how much i love it, i try putting my feet in others shoes. I rote a song on the voice of the soldiers thats called " we're gonna leave this place HOMEMADE" You can find it here on youtube , i expressed myself with my hart in it. Very nice video, it made cry, ya, i'm a man ho does.

  • my mums brother served in the vietnam war and died at the age of 17 RIP PVT cillian fennelly.

  • @MrTwig66 My kindest regards, thanks for visiting!

  • So sorry. A family friend lost their son in war as well, he was barely 18 years old - may he rest in peace forever

  • @Magzimac thank you so much

  • @charismatickarma thank you! will do!

  • I have heard that some of our soldiers were spat upon after coming back from Nam. I'm surprised that there weren't any killings in the bay area during that time. In the morning you're on patrol, next day you're in Frisco, still in a killing mode. My people welcomed me back with open arms, hugs, beer, and kisses. Had a welcome home party the next day with about 300 people including dogs. Where I come from we are taught not to spit on people and soldiers are considered holy. Welcome home, Nam vets

  • @colorado694 Thanks for your service and sacrifice, welcome home to you also!.....kindly!

  • very deep touching...

  • Great video. My little nephew is going to join up with the army. Everybody tells me not to worry, but it's kinda hard. He's my little nephew and best friend. Prayers for the best.

    R.I.P. luitenant Michiel Flannagen, 12/4/1984-14/7/2010.

  • @ZoeyDelight God's peace to you and his loved ones.......kindly!

  • Wonderful!! Thank you for creating this. I listened to this song while on active duty back when the song came out. Still makes me cry, so much emotion in the song and super performance by the Righteous Brothers. My girlfriend and I got to see them live a few months before I went on active duty. Lost her while serving, but we still talk today -- 45 years later. We both love this song and it has a very special place in our hearts. It has been my #1 favorite since I heard it. Thank you again.

  • These were the feelings of our men and women who were protecting us, from the ravages of war. Love is a strong emotion, that we all need. Imagine being a million miles away in a strange land. They needed reasurance that love was still waiting for them at home. Welcome home, thanks to you making this the greatest country in the world.....God bless

  • @35777 Thanks for your thoughtful and heartfelt comments.....kindly!

  • @35777

  • This song had us all crying in the Nam...I eventually sent a "Dear Joan" letter to my girlfriend..It was a pure unadultrated bitch..but I did it...She was certainly hangin with "Jody" and my fratenity brother kept me posted...but alas he "Hit ON Her" talk about being diosapointed..never held it against him...

  • @lnefouse Thanks for your service and sacrifice brother, welcome home......kindly!

  • @lnefouse  then she was not for you......... you deserved better

  • This made me cry

  • @opalbeauty Thanks for visiting, happy holidays to you and your loved ones!

  • This song was played at my parents wedding <3

  • @oreobikki Thanks for visiting......kindly!

  • Guess we are are on different pages. This song is meant to provide us with an insight to the beauty that is with in us. This song is about longing to love and to be loved. To set it against violent images of battle, pictures of those dying or wounded is romanticizing war. Don't get me wrong. I support our military, but there is nothing romantic about war. This song and images of war should never have been linked. One speaks of beauty beyond definition. The other, pure horror. That simple.

  • @ Somewheremaybe Thanks for the support My sailor does all that he can (=

  • I love my Fiance who is in the Navy.. Deployments really suck:(

  • @AyeeAdrianUH408 I know dear friend, bless you both for your service and sacrifice......kindly!

  • beautiful...pulls at my heart strings. Thank you!

  • @rhondaimg I appreciate you taking the time.....kindly!

  • Silence is like the wind, but no one knows where it is when you feel.

    The Silence of the soul is the Spirit that lives within us a drop is the expression of all the noble sentiments of humanity heritage of the Universe.

    Spirit of reflection of feeling of inner peace outwardly expressed through instrumental sounds and vocal expression, crying maximum vibrating the conscience of men of all races in the world to harmony Peace Without Borders.

  • Дорогой друг! Замечательное видео. Я вижу тема Вьетнама тебя волнует. Наверное ты воевал там! Я сам советский военный, мой дед воевал во 2-й мировой войне. Уважаю USA за отношение к своим людям! Вы очень хороший народ!

    С уважением из Беларуси, из города Минска!

    Господи, храни Америку! Оплот демократии во всём мире! Будьте начеку! Хотите мира-готовьтесь к войне! Мы из страны тирании можем лишь восхищаться вашими достижениями! Респект!

  • @stevepogie Thanks for your support, take care.....kindly!

  • @JETHO321 Thanks for your thoughtful comments and sentiments, take care.....kindly!

  • Beautiful song and touching video... I want to say than you to all of our past and current men and women serving in the military, and a specific thank you to my husband, who is currently serving in Afghanistan. Joshua, thank you so much, sweetheart. <3

  • @Somewheremaybe No thanks needed, the honour is to be allowed to serve:-) Having said that the thanks lets us know we are apprecited. My husband is navy and I am army. God Bless all the US troops deployed with us.I may banter with the US boys but at the end of the day we fight for the freedom of two great nations. Americ nd the uk are cousins nd except for a few disagreements consigned to history your fights are ours. Happy Thanksgiving and a good Christmas,

  • @alwayshisgirl815 God bless you!

  • @alwayshisgirl815 gdawsey here. My wife played this when I would leave. You mean no disrespect to your Warrior. Not understanding that this nation has Warriors that even the Spartans would envy robs you from appreciating the quality of that warrior who stands between you and any threat, without thought. Show him pride as he walks away, he will need that strength. The tears you save for his return. Read Joshua, 1 ch. verse 9.

  • You're quite welcome; I'm sure!!

    patti k.
