"To watch the courageous Afghan freedom fighters battle modern arsenals with simple hand-held weapons is an inspiration to those who love freedom. Their courage teaches us a great lesson — that there are things in this world worth defending.” – Ronald Reagan, Message on the Observance of Afghanistan Day, 21 March 1983
Iraq is really happy : About 1 Million Killed, 4.5 Million Displaced, 1-2 Million Widows, 5 Million Orphans , many cities completely destroyed ,their civilization destroyed ...
Thanks for helping Iraq , Iraqis will never forget & surely they will give you, what you gave them ...
I think it's a shame that the US Coast Guard was not represented. They always seem to be like the 'stepchild' of the armed forces. That's a pity since they are the first line of defense protecting the waters that surround our nation.
@valleyviewct Regarding that, USCG is only considered military once they are called on by the navy until then they work non-military affiliated for homeland security. and the USCG hasnt been called to combat since WW2. Also i think its bad that the song they sang for the army was artillery and not the army song lol.
@valleyviewct ... I don't mean this to sound like I'm being a smart-ass... I'm not. But does the Coast Guard have it's own song? Or something that could be used to represent them? I ask because I'm planning on doing something similar to this when I play on Veterans day next month. I'll include the coast guard if I can think of something to play for them.... Or I'll include them with the navy! Either way, I'll give them a shout out as well.
@moonkricket1 - No offense taken. Yes, the USCG has it's own song. Look for the youtube video posted by repad 'Armed Forces medley - Nat'l Memorial Day Concert 2010'. All five branches of the armed forces represented in a much shorter version than Gene Simmons' and also has the lyrics for each one. Hope that this will help you prepare for your Veteran's Day celebration. Thanks for asking and most of all for including the men and women, like my Dad, who have served and still serve our country.
Interesting i didnt know that Gene Simmons hasnt been wrong yet in the last three presidents.I guess ill have to mosey on over to check out Rick Perry.Great tribute!
God bless the American navy, air force, army, and marines fighting all over the world, let's hope those brave men and woman come home safe, and victorious! From a Canadian.
Wow! I had no idea. Not that it was especially low to begin with (and not that he should particularly care either), but my respect for Gene Simmons just shot up several notches.
@23ord - you are a f*ck*n' idiot. Gene Simmons lost family members in the holocaust, they came to America when he was 8 yrs old. He grew up here and he is grateful just like every other immigrant to be in the USA. He has the opportunity to Thank our Wonderful USA Military in public. Well Thank you Gene, Thank you our Military and Thank you USA. Proud, very Proud American. As the old saying goes "If you don't like the USA get the f*ck out don't waste our space.""" GOD BLESS USA.

Great example of how ignorant and uneducated the military is. (of course we are watching jewish propaganda at warp speed, maybe all fake) Gene Simmons is a jew fuckin, Israel born, wanna be zionist.

Gene Simmons is a typical Jew manipulating the stupid goyim to fight illegal wars for his "Chosen People." Google "Kevin MacDonald books" to find out what the Jews are REALLY like!

I like this, but I want to know why they didn't sing the Army song? "The Caissons Go Rolling Along" is not the Army Song... This is: First to fight for the right, And to build the Nation’s might, And The Army Goes Rolling Along. Proud of all we have done, Fighting till the battle’s won, And the Army Goes Rolling Along. Then it’s hi! hi! hey! The Army’s on its way. Count off the cadence loud and strong; For where’er we go, You will always know That The Army Goes Rolling Along. And for you idiot
Why would anyone dislike this video? They don't seem to realize the sacrifices these people make for our lives in America to be safe and secure. Mr. Simmons did a very good job with this tribute, and to him he has my thanks. 5 stars
I love this video. It doesn't get old. When you hear it and think of what young men and women have done across the world, past and present it makes you proud! @ousoonerzrock Who cares what Gene does with his life! It's his to liveand they all seem happy. That's not what this video is about. So stop thumping your bible and get off your soap box. Are you perfect? If not stop preaching.
Loved the walk through the banner songs of each US Military Service. It was touching to see our troops belting out their respective branches songs. Too be honest, every time I view tis video I shed a tear or two. However, Gene Simmon's comments about his draft number, and he "would have gone" if called didn't ring true. He could have enlisted at any time. But he chose not to serve, and that's pathetic given his comments.
I'm talking about MY GOD. I had no idea Gene Simmons was Jewish and I bet the troops didn't give a shit either. You are free to say whatever you like and so am I, you fucking PINHEAD turd.!!!
I know all you anti God, anti military, anti American Libs will hate this so don't bother listening to it. This is for all you God-fearing, pro military, America loving Tea Party Conservatives.
Kiss sucks! No mention about the Coast Guard. People should brush up on their history, the Coast Guard was involved in every conflict; Douglas Monroe gave his life rescuing stranded Marines at Guadalcanal. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
Great tribute Gene. Hey silverthumper if you can stand Americans and think they should be shot ten times. This old Marine is waiting for ya. Come get ya some puss.
hi my name is joseph schaffer i am 18 and i whuld like to thank you and the rest of you guys personoly for fighting for this country becuse with out you gus we whuld be in a world of hert

Thank you Gene for this tribute! May GOD bless our troops! Past and Present!
As far as criticism of the American way of life...keep talking the way you do...cuz a soldier is the one who fought to give you that privelege. Semper Fi!!!! America stay strong!!!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Gene Simmons - What a cunt!! Someone should shoot the lame fucker.
Patriotic America is a shithole and anyone who supports it deserves to be shot...ten times. Patriotism is what blinds Americans and they are dumbfucks for allowing it to happen. The best thing that could happen to America is that someone nukes it and obliterates every warmongering fat fuck in it.
We in the free world are sick of America and the sooner it is wiped off the face of planet earth, the better for all humanity.
My faith in Gene is restored! I thank him for recognizing the brave men and women who keep us free. I wish more "famous "people cared enough to show respect for all of our military. God Bless them all and keep them safe somehow!
I wish I could get this on dvd. I know a lot of KISS fans that are veterans that would love to see this. If anyone know how to get a copy of this please let me know.
Its awsome that Gene is patriotic like he is. His mother was a holocaust survivor, and Gene thanks the military for saving her life. He was born in Isreal, but is a great lover of this country.
@rek1225 Gene was born in Hungary. Moved to Isreal when he was 5. Moved to New York when he was 12. BUt your are right Gene loves America so much. I wish he could run for president.
@01artist According to Wikipedia, not that they are alyways correct, he was born in Haifa, Iseal. Immigrated to New York at age 8. His mother was Jewish/Hungarian. His father was also Hungarian, but didn't immigrate with the rest of the family.
@rek1225 I stand corrected, it was his mother and father that was from Hungary.
Gene was from Tirat Carmel. Wikipedia says that Tirat Carmel's most famous son is probably Gene Simmons of KISS. Tirat Carmel is it's own city now but is still part of the Haifa provence.
@01artist Don't really matter where's he's from. He is a great example of the American success story, and he doesn't take it for granted. He can appreciate where he came from, and what this country has allowed him to do. He's turned a simple band name into a logo that is as recongnizable as Coke cola. My mom used to freak out about me listening to KISS, but really Gene Simmons was a positive influence.
@rek1225 Gene is a testimant of having a dream and going after it till you get it. I do wounder about the Rockand Roll Hall of Fame though. Is KISS too good for them or did Gene piss them off about the marketing of KISS stuff? Lets face it KISS is the American version the Rolling Stones. I just saw KISS last night by the way at the Minnesotta state fair.
Yhe U.S.C.G. is a seperate service except during a declared war in the past. Its now part of Homeland security. In WW II in a majority of landings of troups the C.G. coxwained the landing craft. U.S.C.G. Coxswain Paul F. Moody was the Coxswain who landed the first marine platoon on Iwo JIma. He was my stepdads brother.Famous war corispondent Ernie Pyle wrote an article about his experience. I,m a frmr. C.G. AD3 HH52a SARcrewdog.
@pinwizz69 You guys did well during WW II. Not much is mentioned about your branch but you were in it as thick as could be during the landings and patrolling the shores of the country.
@solimaniv We die for our country and our way of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. You die to get 72 female slaves in heaven. You're just not great. WE are.
Bless you for honoring our heroes who put their lives on the line to keep us free. A special remembrance to all who didn't make it back. America loves out military!!!!
Thank you to all of the militarily protecting me and my family! Thanks Gene for making it more aware to the civilians like me. We forget a lot of times what hell you're enduring for us. It's great to be reminded. THANK YOU! Pittsburgh
@gardenofarcane I'm talking about MY GOD. I bet no one over there cared if Gene Simmons was Jewish. You know why the troops are there? So you, you fucking Pinhead, slimey turd, and I have freedom of speech..
@gardenofarcane So you think cowards join the military because the're bored? I consider them heroes. I'm too old to join. But, I have a nephew who is building his whole career around the military. He became an MP and when he gets out he'll become a policeman and eventually be a detective like his father. I'm proud of him.
Sorry about the name calling. You have your own opinion like I do.
@gardenofarcane You sound like a real hero. You would probably curl up in a ball if someone ever confronted you face to face. I wonder what your accomplishments are.
Loved this video! It's very uplifting, Excellent example that mutual respect and admiration can cross cultures. Thanks to Gene Simmons and THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR U.S. SERVICE PEOPLE! G_D BLESS AMERICA AND YOU!
Gene, there is nothing "cornball" about expressing your patriotism. Thank you for your patriotism and respect for this country, and to us veterans who protect & defend it. YOU ROCK!
As the VERY PROUD Grandma of two Marines - thank you, thank you, thank you for this very moving tribute to our brave men and women who are serving our country. Without them, and without their predecessors, we would not enjoy the freedoms we have today. They are our lifeblood and deserve every ounce of love and respect we can muster.
LMAO! Just kidding bro! A lot of people still consider CG part of Treasury. Shame because they kick ass and do an awesome job rescuing and protecting to coastline.
@ericx777 It's still not part of DOD but was moved to Homeland Security. Your nickname for CG (LMAO at that one) is just too funny. When I was a member it was the 'jewish navy' but expect that is now politically incorrect thus your Puddle Pirate has replaced it. I like your version better... and they not only rescue and protect coastline but all inland waterways as well as international.
@Danny4a7x1 Yeah, ya right. More like a tongue. LOL. He did well in this tribute. Need more groups like him making the rounds in Iraq and Afghanistan, if the security could be maintained. As an old rythm & blues, early rock type didn't care much for his theatrics. Had many albums of ACDC,Floyd, Rush, etc. I could listen to most of KISS stuff as long as I didn't have to look at them...
All the way everyday :)

@01artist According to Wikipedia, not that they are alyways correct, he was born in Haifa, Iseal. Immigrated to New York at age 8. His mother was Jewish/Hungarian. His father was also Hungarian, but didn't immigrate with the rest of the family.

@01artist Gene Simmons.com also lists his birhplace as Haifa, Isreal.
rek1225 1 year ago
@rek1225 I stand corrected, it was his mother and father that was from Hungary.
Gene was from Tirat Carmel. Wikipedia says that Tirat Carmel's most famous son is probably Gene Simmons of KISS. Tirat Carmel is it's own city now but is still part of the Haifa provence.

@01artist Don't really matter where's he's from. He is a great example of the American success story, and he doesn't take it for granted. He can appreciate where he came from, and what this country has allowed him to do. He's turned a simple band name into a logo that is as recongnizable as Coke cola. My mom used to freak out about me listening to KISS, but really Gene Simmons was a positive influence.

@rek1225 Gene is a testimant of having a dream and going after it till you get it. I do wounder about the Rockand Roll Hall of Fame though. Is KISS too good for them or did Gene piss them off about the marketing of KISS stuff? Lets face it KISS is the American version the Rolling Stones. I just saw KISS last night by the way at the Minnesotta state fair.

@joyce420 People who have nothing to do join Armed forces. I am sure you are one of those cowards.
gardenofarcane 1 year ago
@gardenofarcane So you think cowards join the military because the're bored? I consider them heroes. I'm too old to join. But, I have a nephew who is building his whole career around the military. He became an MP and when he gets out he'll become a policeman and eventually be a detective like his father. I'm proud of him.
Sorry about the name calling. You have your own opinion like I do.

@gardenofarcane You sound like a real hero. You would probably curl up in a ball if someone ever confronted you face to face. I wonder what your accomplishments are.

LMAO! Just kidding bro! A lot of people still consider CG part of Treasury. Shame because they kick ass and do an awesome job rescuing and protecting to coastline.

@ericx777 It's still not part of DOD but was moved to Homeland Security. Your nickname for CG (LMAO at that one) is just too funny. When I was a member it was the 'jewish navy' but expect that is now politically incorrect thus your Puddle Pirate has replaced it. I like your version better... and they not only rescue and protect coastline but all inland waterways as well as international.

@Danny4a7x1 Yeah, ya right. More like a tongue. LOL. He did well in this tribute. Need more groups like him making the rounds in Iraq and Afghanistan, if the security could be maintained. As an old rythm & blues, early rock type didn't care much for his theatrics. Had many albums of ACDC,Floyd, Rush, etc. I could listen to most of KISS stuff as long as I didn't have to look at them...
