To my father in law. he was a grandpa, father, uncle, brother, and friend. I'm very happy thought he got to see his grandson born before he passed. This song is was played at his funeral and it' fits him to a tee right down to the car and beer he drank god bless him
i lost my uncle in this war and he was like my other father. He was one of the most amazing people i knew he always made me laugh and made sure i was doing alright when my dad was gone. Im 15 years old now he was killed when i was 13. I miss and love you Uncle Mark :'(
Been downrange once now, stationed overseas in germany. heading back stateside in july. god bless all of my fallen brothers and sisters. Rest in Peace
what he means when he says a war no one really understand is that the main thing we where trying to get done was get sadam out of power and we did that and noone really understands why we are still over there and loosing good men and women for nothing. thats how alot of people see it. but to the ones who have gave all u will never be forgotten. us army
To all those that have made the ultimate sacrafice, we owe you everything. You will never be forgotten.
This is one of my favorite songs ever. I have listened to it countless times and it gives me chills everytime. I've seen too many good people not make it back.
Tracy always has something good to say all of us in the service. It seems that he relates, like other country singers to that one lingering call that only a select few ever hear: To serve this country and hold it dear, just like you would your sons and daughters. As a Marine I understand what his lyrics mean all too well.
Thanks to all that serve in the military. My prayers go out to you and your families. Special prayers go out to the ones that are signing up as well stay safe.
hey i love this song my cusin brian just got shiped to iraq lastnight and i hope he makes it back everyone needs to thank freedom is not free please rember all the troops that are fightin over sea's and the rember the ones we have lost.
thanks to everyone who has made positive comments on this vid. we all owe so much more than we know. had another close call...brother in law got called up again and 5 days letter said he didn't have to go back. great news for him, but someone else had to go in his place. think about and appreciate that person the next time you go out in public in the good ole U.S. of A. without getting blown to pieces.
Lt Nimmons thank you for your service to our country. I'm in the MTARNG i leave for basic in August. i just wanted to say thank you and come home safe.
i gave him a tour of my ship its on youtube. go to tracy visits uss bonhomme richard and that was me giving the tour. got to hang out with tracy and the guys it was awesome. they are great people!
got 3 friends joining the army, they leave 3 days after graduation. we do things together like sit on the visitor side and cheer for the home team. go to walmart and make lots of noise. we play this song alot
Ive been to Iraq twice and Afganistan once and heading back in Febuary... This song meant alot to me... I remember why were over there and i dont want to come home till its over and all my bros and siters make it home first. plz pray for us
thank you sooo much please come home safe u r a true hero and my prayers go out to u and ur brothers and sister that stand beside u over there once again thank you soo much
Lt. Nimmons: Thanks for what you & the troops are doing. It scares me when I hear about guys going back for more & more tours. My son & I are in CAP (USAF Aux). We meet a lot of Active Duty. I'm always taken with your humility. Despite what the news says America is proud of you & we know freedom isn't free. My 17 yr old son signed his papers & plans a career in SAR which drew me to your comment. He'll do basic in Sept. Praying we can get you all home safe & soon. God Bless! HOOHAH!
I'm going in Jan, not sure where yet, but i do know i'm going. Only TCN duty, but for my 1st deployment, its not too bad i guess. Was hoping to go as my normal job, firefighter, but it didnt work out like that, and the "needs of the air force" and all.
they played this at my uncle's funeral...he was 43 and died from cancer...cancer sucks now my best friend has cancer and she is 19....again, cancer sucks
its song hits home for me.. my whole family is army. It used to drive my mom nuts... My brother deployed to Iraq, and shortly after he got back, I deployed to Afghanistan... then, after I got back, my brother redeployed to Iraq... now Im getting ready to go back... I had my whole family listen to this song! Such a great song!
Im a Marine and i have loved his music, but when i heard this song i knew that before i leaved i had to play it for my friends. It was the worst and best moment in my life. I made it back though, some didn't. Air time for the song dosn't matter, the message behind the song is what does. As long as someone has heard it is all it takes for that person to tell others.
everytime i hear this song i think about a friend of mine who was killed in iraq in 2007. he was supposed to come home in a few months and was going to propose to his girlfriend. we have done everything mentioned in this song from having a beer for him to cheering at the home games from the vistiors side, we miss you Donovan!!
What is really sad is the LACK of airplay this song got. Heck we will put every pile of crap Chesney spits about being in Mexico but this can't find it's way onto the radio for consistent airplay (it was on but NOT as much as it should have been)
Same goes with the sentiments of the military. Buddy will be there in a few months, my cousin is soon to be over in Afghanistan as an officer and my brother may be going very soon with the Air Force
I love this song, reminds of a friend of my late husbands who's been overseas quite a few times.. He kept the last can of beer they ever drank together on the mantle till he came back........
Thank you to all of those who are serving/have served. You truly are America's best hero's. I lost my best friend in Iraq, and have many relative's currently serving, i'm 19 and as soon as I'm out of college I'm enlisting. Thanks again.
when i was getting ready to be deployed, i had my buddies promise to look after my girl friend, and i asked them to drive my car like it was meant to be driven, and to help others when you can, well when i got home, i had the best surprise a man could ask for, a baby, we didn't know she was pregnant when i left, my boys drove my dart the way it was meant to be driven, this song sums up the past year of my life, the wedding is august 21, and she keeps me goin evry day
HOOAH bro. I heard this song and think of my buddy from Basic who's in Afghanistan. I check on his wife every once in a while to make sure she's ok. Congratulations man. Be good and thanks for all you have done for this country.
this goes to my cousin who was a pj that lost his life in afganisan in 2004 when his chopper went down. im about to be commisioned as a lt in the army and it sums up what i feel.
Sorry to hear about your cousin. Not only did he serve but he chose to serve as a PJ, those who dedicate thier lives so that others may live. God said "no greater love hath a man that he lay done his life for another". It is also written that Christ said "in my father's house there are many rooms". In my book your cousin gets one of the penthouse suites. Thank you for deciding to serve despite your loss. Stay safe. Hoohah!
This song reminds me of my cousin.. He told me the exact same stuff before he went to Iraq and even though I despise beer..I had a Miller Lite every day till he came back
this song makes me cry...my friend jeremy passed away this summer in Iraq and this song just fits our country living so much can't help but think of him, his wife, son and family
i love this song. im goin to operation iraqi freedom and this just hits right in the heart...thanks to all y'all who are serving or who have served...youre all my brothers adnd sisters....and thanks to the folks back here at home...your support keeps us going..thank you!
Heroes don't wear capes. They wear dogtags. God bless our Military!
