Letters From War

[1001cabrera]

Im going in the marines

[Krislynleigh14]

-3 this!!!

[usnsteam10]

I remember getting stuff while on deployment from my little brothers, although they are alot younger then me, they have been my best friends and its nice to know that although they didnt want me to go and i figured they hated me for leaving that they still loved me enough to send me stuff and wishing me a happy and safe return

[GirlAllanGrant]

One of my great grandfathers and both of my grandfathers served in the military--one in Korea, one in Vietnam. One of my uncles and one or two of my cousins have also served, or are still in. So at least one person in every generation of my family since then has served in the military. Plus my boyfriend left for Army basic only a few days ago. Not to mention step-grandfathers. I'm so proud of all of them and hope that when I graduate in 2012 I can join them. :)

[Daddyslonelybabbygir]

My uncle is leveing soon.

[TheFrankie0607]

Wow.... Im out of words... my nephew is leaving to afganistan soon and we dont know how to deal with this pain

[JFraz88]

[Supportrtroops11]

not as good as Marks but pretty good

[princessalica]

considering that it was made only from what I could find and a few random shots with a home camcorder, I take that as a compliment. Because it was made by an amateur with non pro equipment.

GOD BLESS THOSE WHO WHOM SERVE FOR US

[searra322]

[christian4ever09]

You should try to find the music video. It's even more powerful that way.

[tm282]

I love this song God bless America and thank you everyone in service.

[tigercheese23]

why dont you just thank god he has protected our army troops. there sve and coming home at least some. praise god for this.

[laughxoften]

if you cant stand behind our troops, stand your sorry ass infront of them.

[TondiJ02]

i stand behind your comment and our troops 100%

[sozoal]

I don' t think we can thank our armed forces enough for their selflessness.  Let's face it we are all damn lucky living in the US.

[shapeprincess]

AMEN! finally a sane person on youtube!

[USMCof2010]

agreed, thank you sozoal.

what more is there to say

[AirborneTam]

My mum died recently, she had kept all of the letters I had written from the various wars and conflicts in which I participated.

Every single letter.

When I found them I cried.

[shapeprincess]

OMG that is so sad and sweet of her. You have an amazing mum.

[Guardbabe1510]

Many I just say thank you for your service!!! I really am happy we have people like you!!! Selfless and patriotic!!!!

So I can be safe and not have to live in fear!!

[deatrick8]

We are leaving tomorrow to watch our 18 year old daughter graduate Air Force bootcamp. I read her letters from there and I cry. I am so proud of her and proud to be an American.

[luv2dance154]

his songs always make me cry<3

[Indiag1994]

I know eh me too! like I promise theres not one mark schultz song that I have not cried to.

[laughxoften]

if you can listen to this song without crying or at least getting chills, something is seriously wrong with you.

[MSMninja]

I have a brother who is a scout and is going to Afganistan in the fall and this song always makes me feel better when I think about it

[sn1p3r3800]

"Regardless of the politics, support the soldiers." I think that we can all agree on the relevance of that quote here. Any further words have failed me...

[Oldwalden]

How bout, "If you won't stand behind our soldiers, we kindly invite you to stand in front of them."

[tjdgamers]

Haha really nice quote.. I really like that.

[BCTHS2011]

i really really like this song RIP brothers and sister of the armed forces police and fire units.

[corgilover7]

I first heard this at school last year, I started tearing up at school. I didn't get made fun of, the whole school, even the little 7th graders, were silent. This is a touching song, we pray that the troops will be watched over <3 Thank you for what you are doing everday.

[tervant08]

I remember this song from BMT too .....it made me so damn proud to serve ....air force hooooop!!

[CYC4GOD]

Thank you to my two cousins fighting for the Americans, Marines and Air Force, though I be Canadian, I'm proud of you :)

[cuzinofie6]

[cuzinofie6]

Thank you to all my cuzins and grampas who serve (served) to all my friends who did to Nusse, Jones, Drea, Ferher, Moore, Jensen, "Flower", Cripe, Peters, Hayes, Smith, Schultz, Slead, Gonzales, Kossow, Schofield and ALL the boys i havent met and others that have the bravery and strenght to live the way they do. THANKYOU!

;( this makes me cry my fricken brains out.

[steezinwell]

i always cried listening to this song during bmt..it still gets to me even while im in tech school

[airmanstevent]

I remember this song from basic training at chapel service. I will always remember that moment, with all of my fellow airmen, bowing our heads.

[envyEye]

Yeah, I remember doing the same. It helped to remind us why we were there, and gave us the strength to push into the next week of training.

[airmanstevent]

HOOAH

[michelleanddumbdumb]

u start to cry in tears when you really think about someone dying in ur life

[desitbcd]

[tigercheese23]

This shows god can protect you . All army men and women pray and belive in god he will protect you

[CotyHall18]

Sad

[xletter24]

I was raised by a Mom and Dad both in the Army. As an Army Brat, the sense of pride and patriotism has continued into adulthood. This song is wonderful as it points out the people at home praying for the safe return of their loved ones--parents, children, friends... Thank you for protecting our country.

[CarpenterClimber]

May the Lord bless those keeping us free!

[bakuganlove]

[vanosothebear]

....He spoke of the weather

And good friends that he'd made

Said I'd been killing people

And the life that they had .....

[LadysBaybee]

This song i so sad.

our choir sang it at the veterans day assembly.

i love it.

[katiecow13]

thast is abeautiful video, it alwasys makes me cry when i listen to it, wars are the worst thing out there, the best kind of weapon is one that never has to be used

[passionfruitangel]

Beautiful

[mymidnightillusion]

my brother is in iraq now...he ws meant to come home about a week or two ago but they are keeping him for another month....it really suks caus stupid kevin rudd said he was pulling all our troops out but all hes done is sent out over 200 more. asshole! i hate wars i think they are pointless

[jss12u]

[adamldaniels4]

[kayliebaby55]

this song is so sad. every time i listen to it i can barely keep from crying. my step grandfather was a WWII survivor and went on to win the Congretional Medal of Honor. my great uncle fought in the Korean conflict. war is such a horrible thing. i pray that it ends soon. God bless the troops and the world.

[kingzofmonkeys]

to me, your grandfather is a hero to this country. God bless him.

Rest in peace to those who never came back.

POW's Never Forgotten.

Semper Fi.

[kayliebaby55]

thanks. i appreciate that and i'm sure my grandfather would too.

[gooddude89]

men like your grandfather are what keeps me going when I feel affraid about going into war soon

[JCW1406]

Just remember we'll be praying for you... Stay safe.

[katiecow13]

if your going to war, i'll be preying for you, stay safe, come home to your family

[princessalica]

Both of my grandfathers served in WW2 and one served in Korea. they were my heros, (they have both passed away). I am a huge fan of patriotism!

[daddogofpuppygirl]

By the way, other then that, ur video was 1 of the best I've seen. Just didnt like the Confederate flag.

[princessalica]

Thanks for letting me know that other than the "controversial clip" you did like it. I was simply trying to make it so that it wasn't specific to any one war, and that scene was the best I could find for the Civil War.

[daddogofpuppygirl]

Im sorry, I shoulda told ya that sooner. I thought it was great cept when I saw that Confederate flag I couldnt handle it cuz my Grandad is a WWII Honoree & my Bro is servin in Afghanistan under the American Flag. Sorry.

[Staymewithflagons]

It's important to remember that fine young men die on both sides of a war...even if one side's leadership is wrong and has brought on the whole thing...there were good guys caught up in it on both sides. Many southern christian young men were told lies...just as many Germans and Japanese were.

[daddogofpuppygirl]

I wanna know WHY they would even put a Confederate Flag (the enemy a r Country who divides r Country) on a United States MEMORIAL video. R Military serves, fights & dies 4 & under Old Glory, the flag of the UNITED STATES of America, not some freakin rebel flag.

[princessalica]

For your information, I made this to honor ALL americans who fought in a war, I was attempting incluse something to honor ALL. If you don't like it, don't bother watching.

[princessalica]

And I rewatched the clip that contains it is a clip from Gone With the Wind. I'm sure you don't realize how hard it can be to find a clip that works for what you want. And the Conferates were Americans too.

[ALLiEBeAr101]

&hearts;

[winxgirl101]

that is so sad 2 think of what these people are doing!

dying!

missing there families!

but think of them! they are doing it 4 our country!!

[onuisme]

Wow, I love this song. This was actually one of my favorite songs hwen I was little, even though I had no one out to war. I try to pray everyday for the soldiers out in Iraq. I plan to go out there one day.

[lindaloveszacefron]

this is so sad it makes me cry and think of my boyfriend tom thatcher going to the war when we are out of school together. we had a play about this the day after remebarnce day.

[winxgirl101]

aww! thats good that you remember him!

My uncle was in the war!!

[chowmein112]

they played this a billion times during boot camp.
