A Soldier's Silent Night

[1STINITIATE]

Christmas night ... 1973 . In a muddy hole , my best friend sewed up my arm after a bullet wound .

He gave me his favorite pocket knife and i gave him my Zippo lighter . It was the most important Christmas of my life .

He still has the Zippo

I still have the pocket knife.

thanx for your video

[ishigoto]

Did you know this thing is a public health hazard? They play this every year over and over on the Christmas radio station and when you have to pull over or the tear rivers will make your hands slip on the steering wheel...

[Brendor77]

I love this song what is the official title?

[Nate81695]

well that sucks...i accidently disliked the video...clicked the wrong button :(

[Nate81695]

@Nate81695 oh, nevermind, i can like it now lol

[joba312]

How can anyone dislike this :( 110% respect for those willing to pay their own lives to safe others! We owe u so much

[tymorse22]

@19Truth53... ignorance at its finest.. intresting you can conjure up an opinion with the words of others and probably the news. does everybody do your thinking for you puppet!! by the way i am a two time veteran OIF/OEF Taji, iraq and bagram, afghanistan. and still serving my country with honor. to bad you have none!

[Cheezehead97]

I'm a 14 year old jock and this song brings me to tears. We love you boys out there, God bless you all!!! :')

[QuireBoysAIRSOFT]

i gotta admit i never thought much of the holidays but after i heard this i just cried in realization

[porterplayer]

To all the soldiers out there Merry Chirstmas and please come home safely. HOOAH

[wiccanmoonman]

I'm a Desert Storm Vet. this song I know what the troops are going through. It's one thing to say you support our troops but unless you've been in the military it's just talk and talk is cheap.

[cabbie1448060]

My favorite Christmas song by far!!!!!!! God Bless our Troops!!!!!!!!

[erecon67]

Thank You to all our troops who are defending this great nation of ours.

To the rest that don't understand this think about it.

[Shadowtorch09]

Too all my friends in the military keep safe and come home soon we miss u all and we are pourd of u guys. God Bless The United States Military

[adammicdaddy]

19truth53 fuck u this is Real stuff

[GrizzlyMike1]

I remember spending several Christmas away from home and family. But spent with my brother and sisters in arms. God bless you that have to spend it away from your homes. We do think about you and thank you for you sacrifice

[19Truth53]

Gimme a fucking break! This bullshit propaganda makes me sick.

[19Truth53]

And you are a fawning, NEOCON wanna-be if you think anyone is "fighting for me," or any other American. No MUSLIM is threatening ME, nor ANYONE in this country. No MUSLIM army has invaded this nation and killed its people. However, the US GOVERNMENT is either in EVERY Muslim country KILLING their people and WRECKING their infrastructure, or it is MAKING PLANS to invade/destroy. Both my Uncle and Father were DECORATED soldiers, and BOTH agree with ME! You better flush out that headgear, dope

[RGMerkel]

This makes me want to cry. Yes, I served and now i'm a firefighter.

[postallady007]

Absolutely beautiful!! I'm a Gulf War vet and would gladly do it all over again. Thank you for this video, my friend, I shared it on facebook. God bless! :-D

[chesty43]

 semper fi and god bless you and yours

[bagelbrookefarm]

by denying all soldiers equal rights, by not supporting veterans problemsfairly and completely, dod and va dishonor our230 year devotion to country. has the bureaucracy no shame?

[vetgirl85]

Good vid!! God bless and thank all the brave men and women who serve for our country!! I am so greatful for everything you guys do!! And I thankful for the fact that I have all my family members civilian and military home this year for thanksgiving!! For all the men and women serving (past or present) THANK YOU AND UR IN THIS MILITARY BRATS PRAYERS!!

[littlejenn]

i heard this the first time when my sailor was overseas. a friend thought i would like it. at the time it was more than i could bear knowing my sailor was over there fighting for freedom while i was home all alone

[RichardGat]

Every year I listen to this, and every time it gets me.

[lisa4615]

[Hagenmary]

my heart is breaking, I hate this Christmas... 1st without my son who's in Afghanistan. I'm so proud, but so lonely without him.

[tillydamilly]

[birdlady423]

My favorite Christmas poem!!

[miamor0002002]

I want to thank our armed forces for giving me, my family, and the rest of America our freedom. I also want to let them know that their sacraficies to themselves and their familes don't go unnoticed. My Uncle is a retired marine and I know how much is sacraficied by a soldier. So This holiday season you will all be remembered my our home and I just want to say thank you and we will be praying for the troops and their families god bless you all!

[AJcubed]

god bless all troops protecting us, not just americans all of them british, Australian nato and iraqi

[mrhun2009]

A video Goebbels would be proud to see. A strange sight with no enemy. Just dead Iraqis where WMD's were supposed to be. Nostalgia like this helps push the war along, helping corporations make earnings look strong. Dead Iraqis help soccer moms fill up their tanks with 20mpg, because lobbyists won't let profits be thwarted by technology.

[HereinLasVegas]

You, are a fucking asshole.

Enjoy your freedom, thanks to a soldier you ungratefull POS

[gidi247]

aaaaammmzazing video.  :*(

[hgpreacherman]

Thank you for Defending our Constitution and way of life!!!

God bless our Veterans our Men and Women Serving and their families alone this Christmas!

God bless our POW/MIA'S!

God bless America!

Sam

Isa 9:6 ... and the governments shall be upon HIS shoulder, and HIS name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace!!!

[JennyOnMyspace]

I've read this in an email, long before my own son spent a Christmas in Iraq. This is very touching. Thanks for your work on this. And God bless all our military and their families on this and every holiday that we are forced to be apart!

[Marenostrum24]

[timeinNM]

me to brother

[SilverStarCutie94]

This Made me cry especually when the soldier was like "Santa don't cry, this life is my choice; I fight for freedom, I don't ask for more, my life is my God, my Country, My Corps" Then i started Bawling :'(

[brit835]

may god bring our soldiers home safe and sound and stop the deaths of brave and willing men and women

[SonofLiberty75]

this is even sadder cuz my cousin just passed away in iraq. He was like a Brother 2 me and a feather.

[darkspecops202]

Thankyou for this wonderful video. The thoughts from this song brought tears to my eyes since I'm a army brat and have been around soidiers all my life. It's a hard life and the pay isn't good either, but there something more to it.Protecting freedom is the most important thing you can do. This is why I am in Air Force ROTC, so I can teach the airmen under my command this same ideal. God bless the soldiers of the USA.

[SonofLiberty75]

i know how u feel i grew up around soldiers 2. Im in Navy Rotc and grew up around Marines, navymen, and army soldiers. My cousin's in iraq. i dont wanna be doin the job cuz of the pay, ill do it just knowing the fact i served. 2 be 1 of the proud few who do have the courage 2 fight no matter the sacrifice. I love this great country and proud to be mother americas son. God bless u darkspecop202 4 bein supportive and good luck w yo military career. God Bless USA

[manwechild]

this is wonderful. it brought tears to my

eyes. May god bless the soldiers in Iraq and bring them home safe and sound

[asrhamdan]

blind killing by scared man scared soldiers.. million innocent life die (dead) . following stupid instruction stupid laW from a stupid man ...pls dont ever forget that.Pls remember that until u die...from orphan kids of war

[devnulzzz]

Millions that had once been tortured,murdered by WMD, and were denied freedom have a new chance at life. An evil murdering dictator, forever gone, and democracy takes the place of an evil, murderous reign, thanks to the amazing men and women that fought for THEIR freedom, and ours. PLS DONT EVER FORGET THAT! PLS REMEMBER THAT UNTIL U DIE! From orphan, and dead kids who suffered because of saddam hussein and others we have defended from tyranny.

[dabear1020]

Thank you. People must remember why we have this freedom, whether you support the wars or not. Thank god for your freedom. Merry Christmas my friends

[Caboos4e]

A beautiful vid,set to a beautiful poem.God Bless all our Soldiers and that of our allies,may they return to us in safety to their loved ones and their homes.Forever will I hold them in my heart as my heroes.

[Darkai423]

[aaronson18]

[alysha2002]

[abbzbabbz56]

This poem makes me cry. My boyfriend is in Iraq now; he's been there since August and he's not getting out until this coming December.

Anyways, it's such a good poem, and the song and the video itself is incredible. Thank you!

[MadSkillz2343]

[BlackLollypop]

Love this video. Thxs for posting,R.I.P Dad.

[Tiga1]

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

[Demonangelcast]

You dont need to support the Iraq war to support the soldiers. I love the soldiers as my own family ((as many of them actually are)) May God watch over them and keep them safe on Christmas.

[whyshouldicare12345]

@Demonangelcast I agree! You may not agree with War, but the least you can do is support the soldiers and especially the families!!! My family had an incredibly hard time with my brother in Iraq, and us here without him!!!

[CanadianLady03]

Oh that made me cry! That was beautiful!

[SpeedofLight1]

Amen. God bless them all--honor the warrior, not the war. They are doing their job. My husband served--this could have been him.

[dreaminogems]

My dad is deployed thist Christmas so this really hits home to me! Thank you for this video!!

[leo112358]

I don't support the Iraq War, but this is a really powerful poem.

[kite11290]

My dad is a Marine and in 2005 he left for IRAQ and it was christmas time. he called me and my mom to let us know he made it safe and sound and to wish us a merry christmas. he's home now but i worrie about every one else over there. I SUPPORT THE TROOPS!! it reminds me of my god brother who passed away in Iraq two days before christmas. SO TO ALL THE TROOPS MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

[justabrit]

check out my favorites..the song called the sadest song..that should bring a tear or two if you got a heart...

[sassymeemaw]

IN LOVING MEMORY OF SSGT.JIMY MAC MALONE KILLED IN IRAQ JUNE23,07. Mama loves and misses you so very much son.Your Unit and BROTHERS are coming home soon......HOOAH

[ARMYMOM88]

[abfirefighterchick]

God BLESS ALL SOLIDERS WHO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM!

[ladypn]

So moved, words are inadequate. Thank you for making this video, and thanks to our troops for their service and sacrifice.

[Footloose744]

This is amazing <33

[jsee12953]

@justabrit soooo the comment asking about and presenting concern over a girl and her mother being raped and murdered gets marked as spam, but the comment of "USA!" repeated over and over gets 13 thumbs up? You people are so cruel

[meto5000]

beatiful poem

[dolphingirl555]

[DoctorDC]
