You have nothing to apologize for this is an awesome video. I spent 15 years in the army and any one who doesn't like this video just needs to pack their bags and get out and take obama with them
I would also like every political power in the entire US to see this video so that they may see what they are getting rid of, rather than maintaining. I may only be 18 now, but this does NOT mean that I have not seen how low this country has came from where it was. My family used to be decently wealthy, then we were foreclosed and broke in a matter of 5 years, I see how the economy is, as well as lived to see 9/11. I am young, but I have lived to see enough to know we must reverse this!
i am cambodian, not a citizen to this country yet . but everytime i listen to this song i feel goose-bum and trembling all the time. it has such a spirit in it.
Why is there any dislikes I mean really this s a song dedicated to the people who died trying to survive or save people that were hurt to the people that disliked this your are a terriost or something.
try smashing me in the car again when i had not entertained the weed then either, want to kill someone? do it on your own time, but you best be careful when you come after me cuz i am armed with truth, to the max. dont piss in my wheaties, cuz i can piss back with the best of them. i know when to stay on teh porch and when i get pissed and step off, you better be ready for me to step off, cuz the big boys aint shit to me.
You just make sure the truth is not your enemy. cuz that is the truth, i can be the best friend in the world or your worst enemy but rest assured in this, I never start teh fight. and I always stay faithful. so what ever your desire, spell it out. games are not my thing either, dont have time for the drama or stupid games. go p up a rope or kiss my hine end or what ever your game is, but truth stands.
I represent and do my best for anyone who tries to help me, I do not stab people in the back or lie and that is the truth, again, I serve a God of truth. Not back stabbing. to anyone. if your a liar is not my fault now if someone wants me to lie to them ask and you shall receive. but put it in writing first, the request for me to lie to you, then you tell me how you want me to lie, but put it in black and white cuz, one thing I am not is a liar.
addict? Just the same as I treated this doctor, I also treated the ones at the cleveland clinic the same. they asked me to quit my medications and I did exactly what I was asked to do. in fact, I went thru all and I went to couceling after to make sure I had no addiction. So you go get your records right. I have screwed no one over and I have not lied to anyone so keep trying to find somehtng to use against me. I dont care what angle you got. you got nothing. I have truth, proof and records.
im glad were all that we r thank you so much god your the best im proud to be an american thank you everyone that lost your lives for the USA i wish you were standing here today i luv u so much. sham on you if u hate this song it is the best song writin in man kind love you
people are stupid why do you look up songs or tributes like this just to comment negatively? if you hate america so much then leave seriously. it doesnt matter what your political or religious views or even your thoughts on war you can at least support the troops
I proudly solute all branches of the military. Thank you so much for defending our great country and i can't wait to help. One more year baby. Woooh RAAAW!
I've always felt the United States' response to the devastating events of September 11th should have been peaceful and reflective of our humanity. Unfortunately, it wasn't. I created a video and posted it on my channel to honor those who lost their lives that morning and in the wars that followed. Peace is possible, but it has to start somewhere.
This song always gets to me. Usually I'm not very emotional, but this song. It makes me thankful for what I have, even if its not much. Thank you god, for giving me what I have.
@SoccerLogan Why would you say that? Even if this great song is disliked, you don't burn or shoot a person. Listen to the song, '..atleast I know I'm free...' ;]
@joelthomaspeterson fuck you stop talking shit about the military, they kill and die for us, its not their fault our politicians are corrupt so give it a break, and if they refused their orders they would be charged with a little something called treason so maybe thats why they dont do that. dickhead
God did bless the U.S.A. thanks to all of the policeman,firefighters,e.m.ts, and soldiers that fight for America's rights, justice, and freedom. let god bless the ones who died in all of 9/11's tradgedy and the ones who died in war and in the line of duty. God did bless the U.S.A.
@millerlite2018 10 years later R.I.P 9-11 God blesses us everyday. I watch this video almost everyday now.And I won't forget the men and women who died. Whoever voted this down I know today another popped up.Really?Who does that. Its wrong even if your not American I don't vote down on country's videos.No.
9/11 was ten years ago. I was too young to realize how bad of a tragedy it was. bless the souls who died in the incident. the heroes who saved many lives. and fuck alkyda or how ever you spell it. But they could not take away our pride

@mjnliz- Spartacus217 has that right to comment on this song that millions of military soldiers love and listen too. That is why this nation is the best and one of it's kind, because of our military. Everyone is entitled to their opinion because of our military. Isn't it great when others can post sappy comments about songs that were created for our military? why? Because of our military.
Right on, right on. Yes, America truly is the most awesomest place ever created, dude. And it's all because of our military! I mean, if it weren't for our military, we'd be trillions of dollars in debt, our Constitution would be ignored, and the welfare state would be out of control! Heck, we might even have socialized medicine! But thank God we don't have any of those things here in the Great USA, land of the free. And it's all because of our military protecting our freedoms!
@joelthomaspeterson -Like I said Joely, everyone including you is entitled to their opinion. I see that you like to flatter yourself by assuming that I and many others who are posting here don't see what is going on in our country. You're obviously not seeing the bigger picture regarding the spirit and courage that so many here have for our military and our country. Don't be so bitter. You seem to have a loud bark and no substance.
I thought your original post to which I responded might have been laced with sarcasm simply because it was so over-the-top and stupid. So I replied in turn. But, now, seeing as you were completely serious, I really must question your intelligence.
@joelthomaspeterson - Like I said before, you have the right to comment your silliness here as much as you like. It still doesn't change the reality of what our military has done for our country. Oh, by the way, since you're so much into quoting bible verses how about this one. "How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? Matthew 7:4" I'm sure it was something you overlooked, but who's paying attention. ; )
LordRigon, the U.S. military hasn't been involved in a war that truly concerned the defense of American liberty in a very, very long time. Since 9/11, the mission of America's foreign policy has essentially been to set up Islamic countries halfway across the world. When I ask what any of this nonsense has to do with preserving and protecting America's freedom, I get the same empty slogans and catchphrases repeated back at me.
Also, if you're going to quote Scripture, make sure it's actually applicable to the situation and the person you're pointing it at. Your accusation of hypocrisy really doesn't make any sense. You sound like a desperate leftist leveling charges of "hypocrite!" against anyone to the right of him with whom he disagrees. Just stop.
@joelthomaspeterson - LMAO! Ok Joely. Can we say DENIAL...LMAO!!! You crack me up. Of course what I say will never make sense to a narcissist like yourself. Heed your own advice and why don't you "just stop" before you make yourself the laughing stock of YouTube. LMAO!!! You truly are hilarious.
Keep laughing. Just know that you have blood on your hands. What we are doing in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Libya is not just and it has nothing to do with protecting America's freedom. Maybe someday you'll wake up from your military worshiping to see this, but as for now I can tell you are beyond all reason.
@joelthomaspeterson - LMAO! I'll leave you alone now Joely. You are obviously so full of yourself and not even close to a clear understanding about what is going on here. You're probably a guy who looks at himself in the mirror everyday and says, "I are so smart I are uh genius." LMAO! in the planet you come from Joely, you sure are. LoL!
The greatness of our country had everything to do with the Christian Calvinistic truths upon which it was based, and the blessings and providence that God bestowed upon her. That you would credit all of this to a mere army of men, just goes to show how far we have fallen as a people. Rather than worship and give thanks to the one true God for what we have, acknowledging him as the source of our blessings, you have, in your man-worshiping idolatry, given that credit to military might. Foolish.
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. - Psalm 127:1
We are a country that has turned its back on God. If you think our military might is going to save us, or is in any way protecting our "freedom" today, you are very foolish.
"Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, who trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the Lord.... Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh and not spirit. When the Lord stretches out his hand, both he who helps will fall, and he who is helped will fall down; they all will perish together" - Isaiah 31:1, 3
@Spartacus217 I disagree, this song is used in military retirement ceremonies. To honor and give thanks to service men and women who put their lives on the life each day to give you the freedom you surely take for granted EVERY day of your life. It isnt sappy it patriotic, please feel free at any moment in time to NOT listen to patriotic songs, since you obviously dont see the sentimental value of the words.
@mjnliz: "who put their lives on the life each day to give you the freedom.."
Oh, you mean the troops fighting for Islam in Afghanistan? You mean the troops fighting to institute an Islamic government in Iraq, where converting to Christianity is against the law? All while the Muslims takeover of Europe plods right along, and while America becomes more and more tyrannical every year? You mean those guys? You mean THAT "freedom"? Sorry, remind me again why I should be thankful?
@joelthomaspeterson We put OUR lives on the line for our country. We don't choose our orders, we do our best. You want to talk crap about the military, go ahead. But you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Once you have your best friend shot down next to you, then I think you might have an idea of what we deal with every day.
@TheZarablade: "We put OUR lives on the line for our country."
You put your lives on the line for a godless, tyrannical government.
"We don't choose our orders, we do our best."
The old "we were just following orders" excuse doesn't fly. If you were ordered to jump off a bridge, would you do it? You are answerable to God first and foremost. If you are ordered to do something contrary to the law of God and the Constitution you swore to protect, it is your duty to refuse such orders. Period.
@joelthomaspeterson You say it's an excuse, but it's not. I do what I can in duty to God, I am his faithful servant, and by serving Him I protect the ones I love. If us "faithless servants of the tyrranical government" didn't exist, the U.S. would've been invaded and you would probably have been killed by insurgents. You think we don't go through enough crap when we're in the combat zone?
We pray to God every second we get, that we can live long enough to see our families back home.
@TheZarablade: "the U.S. would've been invaded and you would probably have been killed by insurgents."
TheZ, like all U.S. military idolizing mainstream "conservatives," doesn't think about what he says before he says it. TheZ doesn't see, or doesn't want to see, that despite the existence of a large American army funded by billions every year, the U.S. is presently being invaded (literally) by mestizos across the southern border, bringing crime along with them. (cont.)
@joelthomaspeterson Mestizos? Really? Besides the point, soy una chica y una mexicana. Eres un tonto americano, and you give Americans a bad name. I am "regurgitating the same point" so that maybe you'll figure it out, but you're beyond that point. I'm done with this trivial conversation.
No, stop lying to yourself. You repeat the same crap over and over because you have nothing else. Slogans and catchphrases are all you have.
Can you really blame me for confusing you as an American? You are, after all, defending American interventionism, something most non-Americans have no interest in doing. Are you one of those Mexicans trying to gain citizenship by serving in the military? That is, if you truly are what you say you are...
@joelthomaspeterson Just because I am Mexican doesn't mean I'm not residing in America as a U.S. Citizen -_- Not all Mexicans are people trying to get into America. I live here LEGALLY. There's no need for biased comments.
So let me get this straight. You say your have U.S. citizenship and yet you seem to identify with your Mexican background. You live in the USA, you benefit from her opportunities and what little liberty she still has to offer, and yet when it comes right down to it you say you're Mexican, not American. Is this the so-called "melting pot" at work?
I really don't give a damn if you're here "legally." You are, by your own words, a Mexican, and thus do not belong in my country.
@joelthomaspeterson I identify with my Jewish background; and as far as I know, my mom's paternal granddad's paternal family traces back as gentile Americans to the late 1700s and early 1800s.
No, stop lying to yourself. You repeat the same crap over and over because you have nothing else. Slogans and catchphrases are all you have.
Can you really blame me for confusing you as an American? You are, after all, defending American interventionism, something most non-Americans have no interest in doing. Are you one of those Mexicans trying to gain citizenship by serving in the military? That is, if you truly are what you say you are...
One more thing, because now I'm genuinely curious. This whole time you've been speaking as if you're in the U.S. military, using words like "we," "us," and "our," all while showing a fairly good command of the English language. You've done this in the comment section for a "God Bless The USA" video. And your profile page, now that I've looked at it, says your country is the United States. But now you say you're Mexican and that I'm a "fool American." Interesting...
He doesn't see, or want to see, that despite this military presence he believes is the Protectors of Freedom, that America was leaps and bounds for more free back when it had little to nothing in the way of a standing army and practiced a more or less isolationist foreign policy. Instead of seeing the very obvious absurdity of his statement, TheZ regurgitates its theme over and over again, unthinkingly, as if in doing so he can erase its falseness with obnoxious repetition.
HEY YOU MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY HAVE SERVED TO DEFEND YOUR FREEDOM AND YOUR RIGHTS INCLUDING MYSELF. MY DAD SERVED IN DESERT STORM AND IRAQI, MY GRAND DAD IN VIETNAM ALL 3 OF MY GREAT GRAND FATHERS IN WWII AND SO GOING ALL THE WAY BACK SINCE THE REVOLUTION.
ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS DIED OVER SEAS SO JUST BE A LITTLE GREAT FULL FOR THAT COMMITMENT!!!!!
You know, repeating a lie over and over, even with the Caps Lock key in use, still does not make what you're saying true. Address the points I made rather then regurgitating the same old nonsense.
@joelthomaspeterson Hey, bro give it a rest or go kill yourself. If it were not for the military you would not be enjoying what you have at this point in time. It's too bad people like you were not in those towers ten years ago today.
@joelthomaspeterson No matter what you say, the military will always be fighting for your rights, which allow you to say the things you've just said. If it weren't for us leather-necks, jar-heads, etc., you'd be in a corner balled up into the fetal position. Simple as that.
@TheZarablade: "you'd be in a corner balled up into the fetal position."
Whatever helps you shake your inferiority complex, tough guy.
This line of thinking is incredibly stupid and fallacious. Basically, the "reasoning" goes that if you criticize certain military engagements and foreign policy entanglements, you must be a coward. I see this used by people who have little to no intellectual ammunition, and so they resort to this ad hominem equivalent of "oh yeah, well, you're a poopyhead!"
i love the l0rd andd the soildgers because i have a uncle who died three years ago in the army andd i do love this landd amen praise him! thank you so much!!!
Great video, you have captured the very essence of the song. As the tenth anniversary of 9/11 nears may we all take a moment and forget our political differences and remember that before all of that BS we are Americans first. God bless this nation, God bless the USA!
God makes keeps us safe and not military the military does alot but not alll of it sadley there are people that arent christians and if u are a christian tell people about God and do what we are created for spreading his Word
This is the original version of "God Bless the USA" from 1985. Who would have ever guessed where that song would be 16 years later!!!! Our country's number 3 song behind The National Anthem and God Bless America.
If you cross the N. Korean border illegally, you get 12 yrs. hard labor. If you cross the Afghanistan border illegally, you get shot. If you cross the U.S. border illegally you get a job, a driver's license, food stamps, a place to live, health care, housing & child benefits, education, & a tax free business for 7 yrs. No wonder we are a country in debt. What's wrong with that picture??
@ubernoob77 u racist bastard without immigrants u would starve who picks the vegetables immigrants who collects the fruit immigrants with out immigrants the USA wouldn't exist. u wouldn't last a day doing what immigrants do.
@ubernoob77 try bein in the sun not indoors in the hot sun on ur nees picking up the vegetables or try stading on a ladder all day picking them untill then u can say shit about immigrant there the ones making it to where u could be a cook with out what they pick how would u cook anser that
@shawnzi24 yea there called people who were born here n think there beter then every1 there r few peole who admit without immigrants the us would be nothing im not saying all immigrints deserve all the benifit but not fair to categorise every lazy as gud fornothing ones with the ones that work there asses to make this country what it sure some dont pay taxes but considering a peson sitting on there asses makes almost twice as much i say its fair
@ubernoob77 Amen! Screw all the people arguing wih you. We give them way to much credit. If you want to be an American you apply for citizenship you don't come over here and take jobs that legal american men and women could have gotten. Plus a lot of them kill people.
@MrFerty08 immigrants work their ass off in order to obtain what little they have. They work hard "Americans" who supposedly have more right, sit back and wait for those jobs to jump on their lap. while also more likely commit a criminal act. The term "american" is a joke. If your so "American" Live by what Past american hero's fought so hard to obtain. Free rights for all because it is the "Land of the Free" is it not. you call Ur self American. Thats why everyone Thinks of americans as rasist!
@hatekai1 But listen... We can't sit back and let people come over illegally there are rules that must be followed but it's not Americas fault that you weren't born in America, And not all Americans wait for jobs to jump in their laps and I'm sure that all immigrants don't all do that either. There is good and bad in everybody. And yes I do call myself American because I was born here... sorry to brake it to you but illegals aren't American they are law breaking lazy ass impatient bitches..
@MrFerty08 like u said it no fair to catalogerize every imigrant as a lazy bitch there r people who risk erything to get here america is supposed to be "land of the free" if its is y do they try n kick everyone out everyone here is an immigrant if u remember correctly it not immigrants fault the stupid president went into war blindly do u think its immigrants fault that the goverment agreed to go into war noing it would effect every1 even u r effect by the stuid gov. like all immigrants as well
@MrFerty08 thats true but all people come here for reasons some stupid people to make it worse for example narcos from mexico but there so much shit happening there they come here cause if they stay there they will be killed i understand people cant break the law thats y there laws but u gotta no some people really have to for there safety n their families would u break them for ur family ? i no i wouldif it involved safety n better future for them wouldnt u?
@hatekai1 I probably would but they can't expect things to work out, they are breaking the law and the consequence is being deported.. some that come over try to save their families but the others kill people.. No Americans can take a chance you can't let them come over because they could be a possible threat to our citizens.. Why not just get a passport?
@MrFerty08 yea they try to i no hella people living here waiting for time to pass so they can get citizens so alot come in illegaly but then do everything legal so give some a chance n report the stupid once that drink n drive n r stealing kidnaping that r breaking major laws all my point is give them a chance of being here let them try n get their citizenship most r determined n proud to come to this land just so some people can be racist n categorise them with the lazy gud 4 nothing 1s
@hatekai1 Then that's them! You can't categorize all Americans as racist. Nor can you categorize all immigrants as lazy. But when it's all said and done we will not tolerate people coming over Illegally and don't be disrespecting Americans. The U.S.A is the best country and always will be. It's the land of opportunity where people who are patient and don't come over Illegally can make something of themselves!
I want to a citzenship cermony, they played this song afterwards and the new US citzens sung to it for the first time. Happy to say 'proud to be an American.'

Right on, right on. Yes, America truly is the most awesomest place ever created, dude. And it's all because of our military! I mean, if it weren't for our military, we'd be trillions of dollars in debt, our Constitution would be ignored, and the welfare state would be out of control! Heck, we might even have socialized medicine! But thank God we don't have any of those things here in the Great USA, land of the free. And it's all because of our military protecting our freedoms!

"How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? Matthew 7:4" I'm sure it was something you overlooked, but who's paying attention. ; )

LordRigon, the U.S. military hasn't been involved in a war that truly concerned the defense of American liberty in a very, very long time. Since 9/11, the mission of America's foreign policy has essentially been to set up Islamic countries halfway across the world. When I ask what any of this nonsense has to do with preserving and protecting America's freedom, I get the same empty slogans and catchphrases repeated back at me.

The greatness of our country had everything to do with the Christian Calvinistic truths upon which it was based, and the blessings and providence that God bestowed upon her. That you would credit all of this to a mere army of men, just goes to show how far we have fallen as a people. Rather than worship and give thanks to the one true God for what we have, acknowledging him as the source of our blessings, you have, in your man-worshiping idolatry, given that credit to military might. Foolish.

To honor and give thanks to service men and women who put their lives on the life each day to give you the freedom you surely take for granted EVERY day of your life.

The old "we were just following orders" excuse doesn't fly. If you were ordered to jump off a bridge, would you do it? You are answerable to God first and foremost. If you are ordered to do something contrary to the law of God and the Constitution you swore to protect, it is your duty to refuse such orders. Period.

@joelthomaspeterson You say it's an excuse, but it's not. I do what I can in duty to God, I am his faithful servant, and by serving Him I protect the ones I love.

You think we don't go through enough crap when we're in the combat zone?

So let me get this straight. You say your have U.S. citizenship and yet you seem to identify with your Mexican background.

Is this the so-called "melting pot" at work?
I really don't give a damn if you're here "legally." You are, by your own words, a Mexican, and thus do not belong in my country.

One more thing, because now I'm genuinely curious. This whole time you've been speaking as if you're in the U.S. military, using words like "we," "us," and "our," all while showing a fairly good command of the English language. You've done this in the comment section for a "God Bless The USA" video. And your profile page, now that I've looked at it, says your country is the United States. But now you say you're Mexican and that I'm a "fool American." Interesting...

He doesn't see, or want to see, that despite this military presence he believes is the Protectors of Freedom, that America was leaps and bounds for more free back when it had little to nothing in the way of a standing army and practiced a more or less isolationist foreign policy. Instead of seeing the very obvious absurdity of his statement, TheZ regurgitates its theme over and over again, unthinkingly, as if in doing so he can erase its falseness with obnoxious repetition.
