  • I wanted to thank you for the video. My son served TWO tours with the 173rd in Afghanistan. He now lives less than a mile from his loving father. His father is beyond happy that his son came home safe when many in the 173rd gave the ultimate sacrifice to the USA. Long live the 173rd!

  • Thank you, our son, Josh Grove is also on here! 2n/d plt bravo co. Thanks for sharing!

  • My stepdad is in the video 1:06

  • It was my privilege to be attached as an ISAF liasonofficer to the 173rd/1bat HHQ during OEF2007/TF Bayonet.

    Finest bunch of individuals I met!!! Good luck on the 2010 rotation back into the sandbox.

  • We aren't infantry, but we were training out in the field with these guys not too long ago. They already deployed and i'll be leaving damn soon enough, and these guys are among the best. They have a damn fine history too.

  • yeah i hope to be part of the 173rd too! HOOAH!

  • As ashamed as what I (we) did to the good People of Viet Nam it still does my heart well to see the fine traditions and commitment of THE 173rd is still marching on. "AIRBORNE, gentlemen". Take care and make sure to get your Brothers home again safely from this most recent of messes we have once again found ourselves caught-up in.

  • hmmm,what did "you do "? have you been to confession or a therapist yet,sounds like you need to clense some old devils....what years and unit ????

  • Proud to serve with the 173rd Airborne in Iraq 2003!! Miss you guys!!! Good times in Kirkuk!!

    Airborne all the way!!!

  • All the Way SIR ------AIRBORNE

    503RD AND 173RD IN THE 60S

  • I didn't serve in Iraq with the 173rd, but I was with them in Afghanistan in OEF 8 in the Korengal valley. Probably the most unsung, yet outstanding units the army has. A small group of men who take it to the enemy the way it should be. Fly on, Sky Soldiers.

    Able Co. 2/503rd The Rock

  • The first time I learned of "The Herd" was in basic training,my Drill Sgt, wore

    ine,back then the only combat patch you saw were from Nam Vets and Korea DMZ Vets,very rare that you saw one from the Korean War,at this time 173rd had been disbanded.I was happy when they reactivated,a stellar unit with men of very high caliber,present and past,they've lived up to the fine traditions of past Tien Bien, or Sky Soldiers of days gone.I'm proud to have called some of them,my brothers

  • This is a tribute to 173rd but i swear the VERY FIRST guy is a Marine! He's wearing MARPAT camo on his helmet.

  • many other branch soldiers have served with the 173d over the years..

  • The greatest hero's in my book!Thanks fella's!

  • Warrior song great song

    USMC 0317

  • Luck of the Draw. God Bless.

  • re look at 1;35

  • it is hard to know that is my son in this crazy place. Thank you Jamie for being brave, I love you always, Mom

  • my brother is in this video!

  • paulgreen1 > "talking about murder and war-mongering. You're wasting everybodys time"

    Well, obviously far better to waste someone's time than to invade, kill them, and then declare war. By the way, my intelligence sources are saying you're harboring terrorists and have weapons of mass destruction, and that is as accurate as anything reported by Bush to justify his invasions.

  • Fuckin' A

  • I am proud of all our soldiers. No matter what, you are all doing a great job. Thank you all for risking your lives and leaving your families for us.

  • I thought the 173rd airborne was dispanded after Vietnam.I recognize the wing patch,it's the same one my old drill sgt.wore after his service in Vietnam

  • Nope, its still around. Just deadly, and effective as ever. They actually had a combat jump at the start of the war.

  • Join the RON PAUL REVOLUTION..Write Him in...By the way Great Song..It was On LAST OF THE MOHICANS..Awsome movie..

  • What's the song?

  • To those that have survived the hell of this past deployment; welcome home. Pray for the lost and their families. May God have mercy on their souls and forgive them for their faults. For those that are now home; please for the love of God take care and get help if you need it...

  • love you liberal pricks watching war video and talking about murder and war-mongering. You're wasting everybodys time. You should be watching videos of kittens playing with string, or pretty sunflowers, because you obviously have no balls. Fuck the politics of it. If you have no stomach for warfare, you are a fucking pussy and should go plant some flowers in your best friends ass. Combat aint pretty. Dont even respond, just go get some Starbucks. 11B.

  • nice man, you tell em you serve in the military? please respond

  • @paulgreen1 Mothafuckas that have'nt been there have no clue man. They think you can negotiate with these towelhead pedophile ghouls. Fuck 'em! Airborne All The Way!! 5-73/505 PIR

  • those 9 guyz killed when a few hundred taliban attacked 65 american and 45 afghan soldiers, they were from the 173rd.

    the press loves to point out when they die, and ignore that those guy fought off all those taliban.

  • My thoughts are with the 173rd in Afghanistan. Our Brothers will be Missed, Keep up the Fire Brothers ! Pro Patria doughboy

  • You should put their names on their pictures & if they are single or not, ha haaa, , I'm not joking! but I hope you guys get back home real soon! Thanks for all you are doing!

  • Oh well, God bless em anyway!

  • God Bless "The Herd" and the rest of our military.

  • god bless those guyz.

  • wut is this song called

  • It's the theme from "Last of the Mohicans".

  • dam it is. love that movie

  • Listen up all you SkyTrain boys from the 173rd. Just remember who the original airborne ass-kickers were. The godamn Eighty-Deuce All-Americans. That goes for the puking buzzards from the 101st also.....

  • Who gives a fuck who the original's were? All I know is at one point or another they have all kicked serious ass. Are the 101st "Band of Brothers" from WWII puking buzzards? I think fucking not.

  • actually- 101 is like a whole division, and band of brothers is just a company (E company) and why can't we give them more credit than just ww2?

  • Ex-82nd All American in the house....22 jumps including one combat jump into Panama in 1989. Much love to any brother who has stood up, hooked up, and shuffled out the door!

  • and a jump right out and a count to 4, god bless brothers

  • @rzatherazor2 If ya hear the Wu from outta the blue ya fam is from Shaolin...

    AATW

  • awesome video awesome song airborne all the way!!!

  • that was cool yo

  • Thanks! My father is a vetran of the 173 Airborne, serving from 1965-67 in Vietnam. This is a great tribute to the younger generation who are also making a profound sacrifice.

  • I want to Thank You for this video. My husband is one of the faces in your video. It is very uplifting to watch and I get an even better feeling when I read all the comments. And with much Hope, he will be coming home in a few months. For all of you that support these men....THANK YOU!!

  • You're most welcome! Hope he returns safe and in good health. You have a great husband!

  • You are too kind. Thanks again.

  • so wait are these soldiers paratroopers???

  • i want to thank you personally for your husband's sacrifice. i am but only 12 but i understand what is going on in this world and when i get older i hope to be a paratropper for the us army  -Chris

  • If my husband were here right now he would tell you no thanks are needed. He does what he does for the love of his country and for the freedom of all mankind. Chris you sound very wise for your 12 years and if you choose to become a paratrooper, I wish the best of luck to you!

  • i know it is not a good thing but i have a deep hatred for terrorists. ppl ask me rnt u afraid of dying i just say hey we all gotta sometime. they think im very brave but my frends make fun of me for being a little big. i want to show them wut im capable of. thank you for wishing me good luck

  • Has yur husband returned??i Was chris the boy who is 12

  • Hi Chris. No, he has not made it home yet. But I am hoping for an email from him soon :).

  • ok tell him i thank him 4 the sacrifices he makes

  • Hooah 82airborn 325th Infantry Regiment fort brag

  • Search for this one on You Tube,

    "Soldiers of Allah - Look in the Kaffir's Eyes"

  • allah needs no soldiers you dingbat. if u like allah, get a god damn job.

  • lord, watch over those guys.

  • bring them home to usa...

    oil aint worth much...really

  • go on home british basturds hope yous all die the shit u do every wer ie irland u scum bags

  • not all irish have bad attitude on british, hey these guys are great! see my irish site and dont listen to any irish whines my brother is irish american usa marine

  • i am for a 32 county ireland- it is how ireland should be. yes our land was stolen and taken from us and we have every right to fight and die for it. but we have to do it a different way now brother the killing has run its course, it is over.The war for our country is not, we have to use our hearts & minds and our actions to show unionists that a united ireland is where there best interests lie.

  • there is a bigger threat now- it is islam. it threatens the whole of europe. it threatens France, britain. Muslims are trying to take over these countries and my friend it will threaten our beloved Eireann in a few more years. research it, Mohammed was a paedophile, a rapist, a warmonger -when their numbers are big enough in a western country they take it over street by street- look at the news its happening now

  • while we christians squabble amongst ourselves. the west is losing its values, its morals content to watch idiots on big brother or sit on our arses playing playstation. meanwhile whole blocks in french cities are now muslim, parts of cities in britain are now no-go areas for non-muslims.

  • I love Ireland, but we must now see the bigger picture. make no mistake Europe is under threat, and so is Eireann. British and U.S soldiers are slowing the tide of islamic threat. I salute soldiers who honourably serve over there- they are helping protect the culture of the west- and that means us too in ireland -we're part of the culture of the west which started with the spartans fight against tyranny

  • so called fellow eireannach!? not from the black north i take it? More Greacen than RC? these boys are small potatoes of casualties to the profecient killers that will be sent into anniliate Iranians or Koreans or whoever crops up next. so fight the good fight. BTW that music is beautiful would make you wonder why people would want to kill americans.. natives of course

  • My daddy served in the 173d in the central highlands of Vietnam in '70 and '71. I am so proud to know that his bloodline leads to all of you brave men, (and women now.) Thank you so much for your services and sacrifices for our freedom.

  • c'mon you brave souls, ordinary folk cannot comprehend what it is you do. i dont think theres any words that can be said to thank you, for the excellent and professional job you do for your respective countrys to make this world a better place. god bless you all

  • Great video! I'm one of the MEDEVAC pilots that RIP'd in right before you guys left Qalat (mar/apr '06). Is anyone from that battalion? (i forget which one). You guys a great battalion commander... i'm also trying to find the old S-3 air, first name was Troy, i think...

  • I support the troops and their cause. thank you guys for what you do. god bless

  • becka009 what the fuck are u saying? cant understand a single word that u typed! Well anyways.. GO US TROOPS! If it where possible id sure as hell join your army, but i cant, im not an american, im a swede :(

  • But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" - Jesus of Nazareth

  • I have a question...a simple one. Are you still believing the bullshit which your president is telling you??? About 9/11 and Iraq? Bloody hell,I hope not...

  • shut the fuck up... no one lied you dumb fuck.

  • brave guys! the "Sky Soldiers" that fight for Freedom against terrorism and communism!

  • Dude

    If you are in the United States, please contact me so I can beat your face to a bloody pulp. I welcome your response. Please come to Columbus Ohio you worthless piece of human flesh

  • an honourable tribute to the fallen collegues. may you all return safe ! and i sincerly agree with paladin 1441. you gutless bastards who critisized the fallen. yes because of there sacrifice you can speak out!!!

  • We can speak out because there has been a long evolution of the rights of mankind beginning with the greeks, not the soldiers. I feel sorry for the soldiers in Iraq, but by no means they're right to be there. They were lied to and now are in a dump. There's no glory in invading and destroying a country. God rest their souls.

  • Snaljapen, Spartaxx you miserable assholes..HOW DARE YOU INSULT ANYONE WHO ARE WILLING TO LAY THIER LIVES DOWN FOR YOUR MISERABLE COWARLDLY ASSES..IT"S BECAUSE OF US YOU GOT FREE SPEECH AND WE LAY OUR LIVES DOWN FOR YOU. LET ME SAT THIS FROM MY FELLOW SOLDIERS AND FALLEN COMRADES! SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET THE FUCK OUT IF YOU DONT LIKE THIS COUNTRY! YOU EFEMINATE BITCHES!

    PALADIN

  • I want all the ragheads annihilated.

  • I am so THRILLED that, that ASSHOLE U.S. soldier got 110 years in jail for raping that sweet poor innocent 14 year old Iraqi girl and killing the rest of her family.. I HOPE he gets raped in the showers in jail like a little bitch that he is and then SHANKED! :)

  • I am so THRILLED that, that ASSHOLE U.S. soldier got 110 years in jail for raping that sweet poor innocent 14 year old Iraqi girl and killing the rest of her family..

    ------------------------------­------------------------ ARE YOU AS THRILLED THAT 2300 INNOCENT PEOPLE DIED IN THE TOWERS? YOURE A COWARDLY PIECE OF SHIT! CALL ME FOR MY ADRESS. YOU PUNK.

  • ROFLMAO!!!! Sweetie.. i will say a prayer for you tonight, IN HOPES that you will realize that those 2300 people in our towers DIED because your fucking redneck asshole president pissed off the middle east.. IRAQ had NOTHING TO DO WITH THOSE TOWERS DICK!!!! stop listening to fox news or your mom and dad...we are in Iraq for one reason!!!! OIL!!!!! IMPEACH BUSH!!!!!

  • Do a YouTube search on "pinkyshow iraq", you might learn something from a cat.

    In the words of USMC's Smedley Butler, "War Is A Racket"

  • I am an 82'nd Paratrooper.

    God bless the Airborne Brotherhood.

  • THE HERD will "LIVE ON" FOREVER in the HEARTS of the men and women who served FOR HER! AMEN  Kenny DeWit a HERDSMAN FOREVER!

  • I AM a Sky Soldier. My name is Kenny. I served with Cco.3/503 173rd Airborne Brigade Vietnam 1969 as a "POINT MAN" for November plt. 1st sqd. THE HERD!

  • You "Old School" Sky Soldiers are what inspired us modern day ones. I am a OIF 1 Sky Soldier, mustard stain and all.

  • I dunno why this shows and newest, it was a reply to a comment. But let me add, I dunno why a pic of a marine is the lead image...173rd is a Army unit. Also, it's a shame this is riddled with pics of non Sky Soldiers (i.e. PFC Bell, whom I know). But hey, at least my boys are in it (Josh Truelove, Shawn Grueser, Anthony "Doc" Duarte) along with recently KIA SFC Coleman.

  • may the men of the 173rd come home victoriuos and there children be proud

  • May ALL Herdsmen save this video! Kenny out

  • and that amen brother was for waltongr, not your commie ass ketdugraal.

  • that's the best music i've ever heard on a tribute.

  • the first time i've heard this music it gives me goose bumps and it reminds me of the soldiers who fought hard for freedom...

  • american soldiers are the elite hero's of the world. bash me how you will for saying that. sadly, only some people were born with the capacity to know and appreciate the sacrifices these men and women make. anyone can bitch about the wrongness of this war, only a few can know the truth and stand up for their brethren. "he who bleeds with me shall forever be my brother." thanks to all our serice men and women, and keep your head up and don't let this liberal society get you down.

  • I stand Firm with All of our Warriors. British and American. I've fought in "The Faulklands", and Northern Ireland. I've Fought to defend my Homeland. Things are not "Black and White" though, Our Brave Men and Women are NOT fighting to defeat "Terrorists". They are there through the orders of a Minority of "Rich Men" who demand, Not freedom for Iraqi People but the control of its Oil and resources. Your Own Troops are beginning to realise the futility of this War.

  • I heart my PFC in 173rd. She's currently in Afgh. <3 Pray for them all.

  • To Skatingrobot. Your Friend is high in my thoughts, together with All of our Brave Troops.

  • Thank you very much.

  • Thanks for all your hard work:+) God bless you all ,come home safe :+)

  • I wonder if Bush and his war-mongering assholes have seen this tribute to a fine set of warriors who are giving their lives to line rich mens pockets.

  • it goes much much deeper than that my friend, and sadly people like you will not realize it until it's too late.

  • Wonderful men's, and god marines!

  • God Bless all Airborne brothers whether they be USA or the finest British Paras there is, ask the Afganistanis.... Helmand province hey its coming to a rag head city near you. then you will see airborne warriors ya rag head fuk wits. Utrique Paratus... then you will see what it means, Winston Churchill said "airborne warriors" every man an Emperor. never a truer saying, USA . UK we are the best and we dont forget.never ever get every Fukn Rag out the UK and the USA

  • Where is this music from? Great tribute video, God Bless you all........

  • From the movie "Last of the Mohicans"

  • Die ya bastard.......................­...

  • Jiaram............. Fuk off and die..... Quick Quick.....The Crusaders have nothing on us...... You really want to get in about our pants........ Brussels Fuk off...we are proven warriors... you best look out... London was a one off... or maybe not.. but see if it happens again. we wil slit your throat and your sons n daughters and your mothers..... trust me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, we have had enough God Bless Christ and the Christians............ ya fukn Infedil

  • American army shall be equiped with a special antimuslim ammo - with pigs blood in it. Than every one of you sickos shot by US soldier will be dying lot more carefuly than now. Also all the muslims killed "in action" should be burried with piece of pork in his mouth. This is proven to work by general Pershing 60 years ago.

  • who is responsible of the indian's genocide? who has killed so many japanese with the atomic bomb? and who makes war only for economy all other the world? thank you man for showing us the american ideology. it's a good way to get more and more hate for america all over the world. extremism, fascism, bush,etc...year you're the military masters of the world but you're not welcome anywhere

  • you're quite welcome for the right to talk like that. now, if you'll excuse me, since i'm done watching this wonderful video I have to go back to the field. I'm counting down the days till I'll see my wife again... it's only been 5 months that we've been apart now. Enjoy sleeping in your own bed and thinking that you're so much smarter than I am. That flag you hate so much is the one that I salute, serve under, and will one day be buried under.

  • ok guy, i don't hate you, and i don't hate america but i hate holy economic wars and all the politics who have decided it. how many soldiers dead? how many men from iraq? for what?

    democracy? that's lies!did you see the jrzlin's words? is it a diplomatic message? peace message?

    what will muslims think about americans reading that? i'm not muslim but i read a hate message. that's all. god bless you.

  • amen brother.

  • I salute you Soldier. I hope you and your mates get home safely. There's too much hate in this world. I'll bet you have Muslim brothers fighting alongside you, this is not a war about religion. Peace to you, your Family, and Friends.

  • Ask me if I care about some idiot hate me or not. If he points his gun on me he is gonna die. If you believe in killing, teaching your kids to be a killers and you are part of a killing religion movement, you will have to die. Islam have to be clearly marked as a bloody religion revarding it's followers for murdering and terrorizing all non-muslims and than wiped out from our beautiful world. Muslim extremism will die with the last muslim.

  • Your ignorance is why you will lose terrorist. We do not fear your murderous culture. We enjoy sending you to your promised land. Good will triumph over evil. Enjoy the heat down there.

    Godbless and Godspeed Airborne. Thanks for helping.

  • beautiful and touching music, but does not correspond with this war. what or who the fuck are they loosing their lifes for?? it's not sense, such a stupid people!

  • Give them hell!

  • or go to hell..

  • You are in already pal.

  • way to go guys. Get home safe.
