  • Thanks

    abeldanger(dot)net

  • i loved this video!! it reminds me of how war hurts us all, but it is necessary for our freedom!

  • i disliked this, but i didn't have the nerve to press the dislike button

  • ya know something it doesn't matter how many times I listen to this song by George Jones, I always wind ear in my eyes, thanks George!

  • As those of us who are blessed to be with our families celebrate and give thanks..., let us remember in our prayers the homes that have an empty chair at the table and also offer a special prayer of thanksgiving and ask God’s Blessings for the brave men and women of our Armed Forces, whose service and sacrifice will, we further pray, make the world a better and safer place. And a very special prayer dear God, for those homes that have an empty chair that will forever remain vacant.

  • God bless to all our fallen heroes in Vietnam and other wars. God bless the U.S.A

    U.S. Army (1995-2001).

  • to all of us who came back with agent orange poision...we also are causalities of that war

  • My brother, SSGT WILLIAM E JONES (5/18/46 - 7/14/70). HE'S ON THE WALL AND FOREVER IN MY HEART.

  • My thoughts are with you. My father was in Vietnam and lost alot of friends. He is also very sick from the Agt. Orange they used.

  • In Memory of Sgt. Darrell "Dally" Ballowe Green Beret Vietnam Veteran! I missyou Brother!

  • It made me cry!! All the money in this world can't buy "Freedom". It takes a real Soldier, someone's son, Dad, Mom,daughter, and the list goes on....that will fight the fight for our freedom.

  • God bless all our Vietnam Vets, especially the ones that were left behind in SE Asia because of a Government that didn't give a damn. They were expendable but believe me they are still loved and remembered by the ones that loved them. Jamie O'Hara is a genius kudoes for this wonderful song and a great big Thank You to George Jones for his talented voice in singing this. It is heartbreaking, but oh so true.

  • I cry every time love this song a big thanks to all our troops love you all

  • The song is great and all these soldiers are great. Soon we will have to bulid a new wall for the brave men and women that lost there lives on the sands of Iraq and Afghanistan. Very sad.

  • I love this song and the great person who's heart wrote it! Every American should ruffle their feathers over the loss of our heroes and our lack of caring for them as they return to the Nation they fight/fought for! What will it take America to wake up and stand up of the Country worth dying for??? I carry on where George left off! My Joyceusa1 YouTube proves it. Check the 6 videos there. God Bless America! LONG MAY SHE STAND!! Blessings, Joyce

  • Truly a heart song. Lora K Alexander

  • i love this song we had the what they call the traveling wall that goes all over the U.S. it's a replica of the wall but nothing like the real wall in D.C.

  • "oops sorry about the Gulf of Tonkin lie"

    President Lyndon B. Johnson

  • They spend lives as fast and easy as they do money...I guess old habits are hard to break

  • why wont they play this on the radio? is it politically incorrect? bullsh*t i think the democrats squashed it.

  • Thank you for this song. I feel it honors oir fallen veterans from Vietnam. Again, thank you from a Vietnam Veteran! Beautifully Sang.

  • rip carlos hathcock

  • THANKS GEORGE FOR THIS SONG AND THANK TO ALL OF MY FELLOW VETERANS FOR THEIR SACRIFICE. MAY GOD BLESS THIS GREAT NATION ONCE AGAIN.

  • I was there, a 21+ year veteran. Americans at home during that period of time acted shamefully and with ultimate disrespect for those who defended thier way of life and that of thier families. I'm sure if you asked those who so disrespected thier fighting men at this juncture in thier lives, the majority would admit to shame.

  • diabled Vietnam Veteran.

    PTSD,Flashbacks, Nightmares Every Nite.

    I am still figting the Vietnam War

  • The Best Song The Possum Ever Sang

  • Bless all the soldiers,with us and in heaven who sacrificed so much. I still think it all was so unfair and unforgivable, the way they were treated coming home, just because a bunch of war protesters blamed them instead of the ones who actually sanctioned the war. They were just following orders, and so many families suffer to this day for their being honorable men and women. It breaks my heart. Thanks is such a small word for such a giantic sacrifice, but thanks soldiers.

  • In memory of my Friend, Lance Corporal Robert J Perrucci... Rest in Peace

    A Veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank

    check made payable to The United States of America

    for an amount of ‘up to and including my life.’

    That is honor and there are to many people who don't understand it

  • RIP Brothers and Sisters Semer Fi 63-67

  • In memory of my brother:

    L/Cpl Feliciano Rocha

    Bravo Co. 3rd Recon Bn.

    3rd Marine Div

    United States Marine Corps

    KIA July 27, 1969

  • More? Pity!? It doesn't matter how much or how few! Anyone and everyone dying for Americas cause is worth remembering! How disrespectful!

  • Very Sad

  • On June 24, at a intersection of two roads in West Virginia a bridge will be dedicated to my Uncle who is one of those 50,000 names. We loved him and we miss him and we will always remember him. The Rangers who served with him will be with us for the dedication and we will also honor them just 40 years later.

    Thank all of you for your service.

  • i thought there would be more ...pity

  • Thanks GJ - I knew and was there when many of these names went on the wall. I know what Memorial day is for...and god bless you for this song - it moves me everytime I hear it...Especially this weekend.

  • From a Viet Nam Vet, Thanks George. God Bless

    oldsarge37

  • My brother's name is one of those fifty thousand names. I miss him still and I know I am not alone...Thank you for this song for those of us who still mourn... God Bless you and us all.........Connie

  • thanks GJ. someone sings for the men who died in Vietnam. My two cousins Peter and Joseph are not on the wall, from Agent Orange, 20 years later.

  • Actually it's closer to 59,000 names with approx 9 of which were women .....

  • We lost my brother almost 43 years ago August 12, 1968. He was 18 and had only been there 6 weeks. I sometimes wondered how my fathers life would have been had this not happened. He suffered the pain of losing him for the rest of his life. Jimmy we missed you and continue to do so.

  • @r1upfront ... God Bless your family ... and your brother. He's an American Hero.

  • semper fi

  • I'm SO glad not to see a single thumbs down.

  • Thank you to those who dedicated their lives to are freedom

  • I lost my cousin to the tragedy of this war. He couldn't take what he saw over there. This song reminds me of him . It's just so sad.

  • From just a common american..........Thank you to all of you Vets who served and fought for our country, you are not appreciated enough. Sorry.

  • u would have to been there to truly understand this song..it,s been over 40 years for me ,and everyday i wish i had not came back alive...from one ptsd vet to all,who served,died,wounded,mia and the memories that we live with.

  • @largemouth1943 * Hugs* My heart goes out to you. the war started before I was born, and ended before I was nine, so I don't know anything first hand, but you are all heroes in my book.

  • @USACLINTEASTWOOD traitor!!!!!!!!!! I DARE YOU !!!!!

  • @hnguyenhungha DEMOCRACY FOR VIETNAM -FREEDOM VIETNAM - SAT CONG.

    FUCK COMMUNISTS - HO CHI MIM AND POL POT IS NAZIS, NAPALM AND AGENTE ORANGE FOR VIETCONGS. SAT CONG.

  • @USACLINTEASTWOOD bastard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! let see if you could do what you say

    and the way you stick HO CHI MINH with Pol pot here to make excuse only show how silly or unreasionable you are

  • @hnguyenhungha FREEDOM VIETNAM - DEMOCRACY FOR VIETNAM - HO CHI MIM AND POL POT IS NAZIS - SAT CONG- FUCK COMMUNISTS -

    GOD BLESS AMERICA.

  • @USACLINTEASTWOOD I wonder how God can bless a nation whose citizens gladly call for the death of their fellow man, merely for following a different ideology. Is that what those fifty thousand men on that wall died for? Did they die so the living can wish death on the living? No, they died for their country, but not a country of people like you. They died for a country worth defending, one that doesn't wish death on others, but peace for all. Don't spit on their sacrifice instigating violence.

  • @onehundred10million We didn't fight for anything except the guy standing next to us. We fought for each other. We didn't give a damn about what any politician said, what

    our country told us we should do, we fought to try and make sure all of our buddies

    got to go home alive to their families. It's for the ones that didn't make it that we cry for.

    There were too many that didn't make it home alive. We love our country but we fought for each other.

  • @LadODell AMEN TO THAT

  • @hnguyenhungha GOOD COMUNIST IS A DEATH COMUNIST - SAT CONG - FREEDOM VIETNAM - DEMOCRACY FOR VIETNAM.

    GOD BLESS AMERICA.

  • @50poiuyt FREEDOM IRAN- FREEDOM VIETNAM - FREEDOM CUBA - FREEDOM LAOS - FREEDOM NORTH KOREIA - FREEDOM TIBET - FUCK COMMUNISTS

    COMMUNIST GOOD IS COMMUNIST DEATH.

  • We may not always agree what our government does but we must always support our service men and women. Giving their lives for people they don't even know.

  • @LuanneRH those people are the rothschilds of england, central bankers, est worth 500 TRILLION, Owners of the Federal Reserve Bank of the USA. every last war america has been in in the last 97 years has been to defend their empire. look into it. type "rothschild" up in you searchbar top of this page. have a nice day

  • Seeing the wall is just as moving! Never have a dry eye when I hear this song.

  • This is a tear jerker of a song.

    i will never buy anything made by cannon again.

  • i worked at the wall for the park service. they really need to nut up and build a place to keep the stuff left at the wall (a museum i mean).

  • @TheSandsie13 They already did that Sandsie!

  • thank goodyear firestone and the rothchilds for this one (dont forget the amoral queen of england also)

  • The law should be that any congressman who votes for war should automatically be enlisted as a private in a forward unit. Perhaps then, wars will not be so frequent, and vets will not face a second war when they get home to collect their benefits.

  • @gunsgg I think you 'nail'ed it there.

  • being a veteran of vietnam and a lover of country music this is a great song .

  • We went there at night during our G.T. washington DC field trip (which was THE BOMB btw) and it was pretty sad when you look at the names and thinking about how all these people like DIED):

  • this is such a great song.. God Bless the USA.. and everyone that has fought and still is fighting for us.. and people really need to remembe God in everything.. thank you george for singing such a beutiful song and such a true one.. i love everyone that is out there for us nad had been there for us all..

  • Dont kill to be killing.

  • @50poiuyt .Move

  • We love you George.

  • A great Tribute to all my comrades on the wall.They are the real Heroes

  • When I first saw pictures of the Memorial, I tho't it was tacky. After standing in front of it the impact was unbelieveable strong. A fantastic memorial to all my comrads in arms during the time of the conflict.

  • this for all the men &momen that servied in all the wars.thank you for every thing that you did for all of us in the world.

    you all are heros to us thank you all for every thing that you did!!!!!

  • Hello, just stopped in for another look at this great video and song.

    No one does it like George.

    Thanks again,

    A Proud Us Navy Veteran!

    I invite you to view my tribute to Fallen Warriors.

    I wrote and sing the song, and would love to get your opinion.

  • That was incredible, what a great tribute and song.

    Sung by none other than the Possum himself.

    Thank you for posting.

    Absolutely 5 *s!

  • gimme a shout mate tunesnorth?

  • To Live414: Yeh, kind's of makes u homesick; don't it. Bought like the same government we have today.

  • 50,000 of our boys, who died forcing a foreign people to bow down to a tyrant that those people did not love, support, or fight for.

    Just like the Illegal Foreign Wars in the Middle East today!

  • Just remember it was LBJ who said, "No American boys will die on Asian soil." That is burned into my brain because in June of 1965 he committed 500,000 Americans to the war -- and over 58,000 American boys died on Asian soil.

    But this old Green Beret did his time and I do not regret my time helping the Rhade and other Montanyards.

  • i was there feb. 67 till feb. 68 , i have guilt because i came back and they did not . God rest their souls. we only went because they sent us.

  • we know, at least anyone with common sense understands what a draft does to our young men. Thank You for going, no matter what my opinion on that war was. it was not your decision, just your job. And you did it exceptionally, even without the support of your govt.

  • Thanks Mac423. and pray for us that did come back that when we join them in eternity , we too will have peace and rest for our souls.

  • @joeniddas glad you can talk about it. why do you feel quilty. It wasn't your time to die. God has other plans for you. I hope you have found them because those people need you. Be it family , friends or even someone that God has not sent you to yet , but is just around the corner .God bless you. I will say prayers for you and the rest . post tramatic stress can do a lot of damage. you did your best okay

  • If you are moved by this song listen to a song on here by Mark Maysey titled "THIS IS MY RIFLE" Marks work is beautiful to listen to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i have been to the vietnam veterans memorial it is so moving to see all those names who died for our country this song is a great tribute to them

  • Many speak the words but few give as much

  • Comment removed

  • Of all the songs that George has ever performed This is the one that always brings a tear to my eye. 50,000, may they always be remembered for the heroes they are.

  • RIP LGR

  • beutiful video

  • so true. many great men have fought and died for this country and to see it pissed away would be a bloddy shame. it is sad to see whats happening today but maybe brighter days lay ahead for this great country. i am proud to be an american and live in the USA i would bleed red white and blue.

  • great song great vid thank you good work

  • My Dad flew a Sunderland Bomber in WW11 for the RAF and joind through the RCAF I have an uncle who survived the Batton death march and three great friends who were killed in Vietnam and one from Canada who joined the US forces.

  • Beautiful tribute to our arned forces. Thank you.

  • All my Respect to all Vietnam Vets...!

    Semper Fi

  • No other singer can sing this beautiful song like George Jones.I have a lot of respect for the Vietnam veterans.God will certainly bless them all.

  • VIdeo is so beautiful and George does a great job.

  • George Jones is my favourite singer and he is a very nice guy.He will be in Sudbury on October 19th and in Ottawa on October 20th.I will go and see him in Sudbury.

  • canada sucks

  • You Johnson are a very ignorant and stupid creep.You suck.Canada is a great country and we are so happy that we don't have idiots like you living in Canada.

  • are you gay?

  • Are you nuts? I hate gays.Gays are all mentally retarded and are all sinners.I can't stand them .Don't ask me a stupid question like that.I am married to a wonderful woman and we have 2 boys who are married and are great and smart.

  • im sorry, i was a little drunk when i wrote that, i thought you were saying he is beautiful not that his songs are. us george fans shouldnt fight so i appogise

  • @rollzst he is wanting to come out screaming!!!!!!

  • my father was 196th LIB infantry in Vietnam. I can't listen to this song and not tear up. it's such a beautifully lyrical tribute

  • My uncle was one of the lucky ones who made it home. he got his purple heart, and other medals, he saved quite few of his platoon and got them them to safty, not a one he saved died! so proud of him, he is one of the true heros! He had to get extensive reconstructive surgeries on his face, and he is handsome to me! I would fight anyone who doesn't appreicate what he or any vietnam soldiers done! They deserve respect, not to be cussed & spit on. Shame on anyone who did this. they are a disgrace!
