  • AWESOME SONG

  • I LOVE AMERICA AND I LOVE OUR MILITARY!

  • I LOVE AMERICA AND I LOVE OUR MILITARY I LOVE TRIBUTES LIKE THIS!

  • makes me proud to be a soldier thank you

  • The only thing harder than being a soldier is loving one, amazing quote

  • God bless our troops come home safe couzin

  • Servus,

    first of all this is a great song with epic pictures. Personally I`m serving in the German armed forces and I also faught in Afghanistan. It was very hard to read in the newspapers that most Germans didn`t support our ambitions in Afghanistan. But that isn`t caused due to our brave soldiers, as well as the brave American and British soldiers this is caused by politicians! We Germans support the war against terrorism and we support our American brothers in arms!

    Gott schütze uns!

  • this is when im proud to be n american

  • being a soldier is something I'll never know about(a hidden blessing of being born with Spina Bifida)!very cool video!

  • This was absolutely beautiful.. I cried like three times... so good. It explains everything so perfectly and I am just so grateful that my dad could come back after several deployments and retire after 25 years. This video really means alot to me and I am sure to anyone else who watches it.

  • I want to join the air force but i have to wait ill im 18 im 14 right now i want serve those who give all their lies and all my god bless the us forever

  • @ryannewman4life1 hey im glad to see that there are still some young folks out there with patriotic pride and i have to say thank you. by the way bud, if you want to join make sure that you do research on all branchs, you might find one more adequate for you than the other.

  • I want to be another former soldier to say THANK YOU for this wonderful video...It really opens up people's eyes after seeing this that didn't think it was really that bad over there that we are going thru to keep us all free in the greatful USA

  • god bless you u.s soilders

  • man, that just blew me away, next time you see someone who is in uniform or you know has been in the military, go over and thank them, i have been around alot of ex military guys and i am proud that our men and women are out there doin what they do everyday, support our troops!!!!!

  • @thehalogamer12

    no one who is or was in the military is ever an ex

  • This is the best clip I have found on youtube about the troops.

    I do not understand people who are negative about these clips.

    The soldiers haven't done anything to them. And when their country would be in war they ask help from the soldiers. But at the moment they do not understand that soldiers are the people who defend us by their own lives. God bless the troops! I will be joing you guys soon enought! Be safe and come home safe! We pray for you everyday!

  • This is an amazing video. Most of the quotes in it are soo true. Thank you.

  • great video i actually laughed at a few of the captions people have no idea how good they have it anymore and complain about the stupidest petty things

  • I never knew the extent of what our men do for our country until I fell in love with a military man.. You are truely appreciated for what you do and what you continue to do. The good, the bad and the ugly. Your work is not done in vain and you are truely loved by those who know the true extent of what you do. Thank You!

  • I want to thank you for this video being a former soldier.

  • great video,I actually saw this one a couple years back and have been looking for it again for awhile ,I'm not losing it this time,it's going in my favourites

  • My heartfelt Respect to the troops...to all those who have served and do serve Thank you

  • this is awsome vid i love it god bless the troops

  • Semper fi, come back home safe and thank you for all.

  • thank you so much for putting this up. my dad is currently in the military. 31 years hes served. he resently came back from iraq safe and sound. i hope i could follow in his footsteps when i grow up. thnx to all our troops and WELCOME HOME 278th national guard. HOOAH!!!!!

  • I loved this so much. My boyfriend is a marine deployed to afghanistan and I watch videos all the time to try and cope with the deployment. This one was truly one I was happy to see and agree with completely. It really puts things into perspective and just...was amazing. So thank you.

  • wo0t!!!

  • This is awesome thank you for putting this up!

  • this video is so true i have to hear about everyone complain about something stupid but im over here fighting for people i know n i dont know just so they can be free. the only thing that hurts loving a solider is to know i get more support out of what i do from the people i dont even know n it feels like my family doesn't care if i come home walking or in a casket. thank you for making this video hopefully people will stop complaining about the little things.

  • Thank You to ALL Our Troops Who've Served!!! You Are Not Forgotten!!!

  • very cool

  • i'm thankful to our troops in Iraq and for everything them do for us. i hope they come back save and sound. THANK YOU TO THE FAMILY AND THE TROOPS FOR ALL THEY DO!

  • I Go for basic training for the US army next summer i can not wait to serve along side all the brave men and women in the US military. Godbless all of our SOldiers and Thank you.God bless all Who gave their lives for our freedom!

  • god bless our troops

  • Leaving for the Marines in march, SEMPER FI!!, AWESOME video.....just awesome!!!!!

  • I created this slide show in Jan 2005, but had it set to different music. (This song is actually one of my all-time favorites, so I loved how it played to this music!) It went viral around May 2005 and I have been absolutely astounded by both the response its gotten and by its continued growth. Just about to leave Fort Carson after being there for 16 months providing emergency psych care to the troops and their families. Thanks for caring, everyone!!! (CPT) Alison Lighthall Crane, RN, MS,

  • i'm crying right now this is the most moving video i have ever seen

  • thank you to all our troops

  • the only thing harder than a soldier is...... loving one

  • i watch and listen to this over and over and it never gets old because its so true

  • This is a great video, just makes me sad how the vietnam vets got shit on when they came home! To all of you, thank you for honoring and remembering our soldiers!

  • good song i agree with the last part I live in Pensacola,Florida quite a bit of bases here for the navy and it angers me when people downgrade soldiers.I have great respect for soldiers but imo it isn't the hardest thing to do or go through.Imo anything that disables you from living life or doing everyday things mentally or physically is the hardest to overcome.

  • i dont think this video could be anymore correct! thanks for the great vid and lesson. i think everyone should have to watch this vid.

  • being active duty Air Force, this video says such a good message for us military. Good Job to who made this!!!!

  • thats the truth with its hard to come home i had a difficult time when i came home from iraq

  • .... :( i hate crying but i love this video.... I'm going to try my hardest to never complain again... I'll just have to remember that when i think that im going through hell.... i haven't even reached hells gates untill i go through what they are... GOD BLESS THE U.S.A AND OUR TROOPS :(

  • Love this. I am so proud of our troops and the job that they do every day to keep us safe. Seeing those boots lined up is heart-wrenching. Unfortanately freedom isn't free.

  • oorah thanks for the vid

  • as you walk through the valley of the shadow of death fear no evil cuz u are tha badest fucker in that valley

    thanks for your service!

  • if i could rate this vid9999999999/10 stars

  • The combination of the photographs and this great song are very moving...this is a great tribute...the people who made this should be proud of themselves...from England.

  • Dude beautiful video It's nice to finaly see that It's not easy being away from home and the ones you love.I'm touched.

  • GOD BLESS THE TROOPS!!! Fuck those who ridicule them for essentially sacrificing thier happiness so they can bitch about them. GOD BLESS U ALL!!! I HOPE EVERY SINGLE TROOP FINDS HAPPINESS AND HAS A HAPPY LIFETIME!!!!

  • i love the vid i have nothing more to say

  • Amazing video. God Bless you all!

  • for all the veterans. THANK U FOR MY FREEDOM!!!...u are loved more than u know

  • MY husband is on his second deployment and I only know half the stuff that he goes through because he does not want me to worry. I am so proud to be an Army wife and proud of my husband and all the men and women over there fighting for this country. HOOAH

  • Dont bag me but a tear ran down my face as i watched this ( im 13 and u dont really cry about stuff when your this age ) Im touched by this video i hope every one else is.

  • i always have the troops in my thoughts! i will soon be one of them i hate college and hear the call to serve for my country!!! i will be over in about a year... after basic and my MOS training

  • i love this video

  • *solutes to ALL grandpas, uncles, fathers, mothers, grandmas, great-grandpas and grandmas, and SOOO on:')* **cries***

  • This is just awesome, i'll be joining y'all soon, may god watch over and protect all of you, forever greatful for what you do

  • I love it at 3:39 when it says "to not punch a wall when someone says that we should pull out immediately "

  • Epic video man. It's so damn true.

  • Saw this a couple months back. Been looking all over for this for a good 2 weeks. finally i just randomly see it. Great job on the video!!

  • RAISE SOLDIERS PAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, soldiers right now are risking everything for there country and there getting paid just enough to support there families

  • nice vid

  • back in 06-07 I was assigned to OIF as an individule augment from the Navy to the third Army Povost we did the personal protection for mr . worley at about the time this song came out. I came back 3 months later to a year at a Naval Medical Hospital in San Diego and retirement at 80% wish I was back in everyday.

  • i have a qestion i want to join the military but i lost my hearing about a year later i got a coclear implant do you know if they will let me in or do i have to pass a test

  • Wow! You did a truly excellent job on this.

  • WOW!!! Let me just say wow. This has got to be the best clip I have seen out of all the military tributes/ videos. And it is very true...The only thing harder than being a soldier is loving one. I am a veteran of the US Army and my husband is still in the army and it is so much harder waiting and worring about your loved one being deployed, getting injured, or even dying than it is for the soldier to just do their job everyday.God bless our troops. I pray that you all come home safe and soon

  • as a british vet i know what your saying! i hope he comes back safe!

  • Great video.. Those troops aren't even men anymore.. They are heros..

    It tears me up to see some of those.. I salute, shake their hand, or give them a hug everytime I see them.. If only everyone else would do the same..

  • @spanky407 "I salute, shake their hand, or give them a hug everytime I see them..If only everyone else would do the same.." I would if I knew a soldier... I would join them, to help take some of the danger away from them, but I am, unfortuantly, slightly physically disabled. Have been since birth. I could not pass the physical...

  • I ship out this monday

  • u probably shipped out already, but good luck to you and get home safe. check ur ammo check ur six

  • good luck!! i say this because my uncle just got back from Afghanistan!! good luck!!

  • I felt no hate in Iraq, Ive experienced more coming back to this "civilized world"

  • Thank you to all our troops. the ones that are serving now and the ones who have served

  • God bless every man and women out there in the war right now they r all in my pray's becuz I pray that they will come home. they should b in ur pray's 2

  • Thanx, there are more understanding and better people then blind radicals

  • These men and women deserve the utmost respect from every single citizen in this country. If these people can n ot respect our soldiers then I have a one way ticket to the middle east for them

  • ive started this letter three times and its hard to without crying. its sad to think that people would talk bad about our troops who are fighting for our country. i cant imagine how people can go to bed at night and sleep all night by doing things like that. i do know one thing and me and my familly pray every day for our troops and their families. and i wish they would quit making video games for kids to play with of actual battles where americans fought and died.god bless our troops.

  • god bless you and god bless the USA!!!

  • I am sorry but at 0:36 I couldnt help but laugh my ass off. And before any one gets up set I am a solider too so calm down.

    Also between 3:45 and 3:56 made me think about my parents because I know my time is coming when it is my turn in the sand box and how my parents will take it.

  • This video strikes home hard. My husband has the same problem biting his tounge with these also. He's right though...we are very vane and take a lot for granted here. WE'RE JUST PROUD TO HAVE HIM HOME! Thank you to all the soldiers who have also fought, bled, and died for our freedom.

  • A HUGE heart felt THANK YOU our service men & women for protecting us & freedom that we are blessed with! My son came home after a helicopter crash.Night terrors, reliving the battle of his life. Days i find him a crumpled mess on the floor overpowered by sadness. I hold him & say "thank you, I love you son". He barely makes it through the day Dear God, please be w/ our soldiers for as long as their fight continues.Bless them & their families w/ courage/comfort & get a restful night of sleep

  • Thank you Darryl. I want to let you know that our Soldiers in our PTSD treatment center for our Warriors coming "back from the war" touches them and us very deeply. I hope our country will awaken to the fact that these warriors are dying and getting injured and nobody cares(except our veterans, families and others serving them). I know that they feel loved in our Center, but when they go out into the World - "You Don't Love Me."

  • i cant stand it when people insult our soldiers and they disrespect the people dying for them. i personnaly think that anyone who does such needs to get their head out of their ass board the next ship out of here

  • finally some ppl with some sense spc. Bryant 82nd airbrone doin my part thank you for your patriotism and respect to often do we recieve criticism for tryin to protect the american way of life

  • thanks U.S.A from italy.

  • As an Infantrymen...Thank you!!!!

  • @MrWmartz Thank you for serving our country!!!

  • That was a beautiful clip. Very meaningful and powerful. I'll admit I got tears in my eyes. I had friends and family in this war and it reminds me more of the repect and love I have for the American soldier.... or those from other countries who stand beside us. Thanks. A favorite and 5 stars.

  • Thank You

  • it is truely great to finally see a vid that dosnthave a negitive comment on the top of the comment list it is a great thing for troops to be able to see things like this vid thank you.

  • i approve all comments & i REFUSE to approve anything negative towards our troops & the USA. (but trust me, i've recieved some negative comments...i just delete them)

  • Its too bad we have people talking against their own or the idiots from other countries who should be thanking us. They should just be glad they are not face to face when posting them. Thanks and pardon my American expression but FUCK THEM.

  • well thank you for that because im tired of peopple posting negatives.

  • @debipisces thats good thanks for the amanzing vidoe, i had tears in my eyes the whole time. thanks you so much. GO USMC!!!!!!

  • @debipisces man thanks for putting this vid on you tube and i agree with darrell soldiers do go through a lot some even endure the thousand yard stare thanks for uploading the vid my grand father and great uncle served in the army during vietnam my grand father was in germany' specialist unit for eighteen months and my uncle served in tailand and he could hear the american bombers note he is an american and so is my grand father oh and God bless the U.S. troops!

  • @debipisces Although my comment is probably going to be deleted you realize your comment doesn't make any sense right? If you approve of all comments then you wouldn't refused to approve negative comments. On a different note: Good video.

  • @dacaptain84

    i should have said i approve all comments that you see. i have it set that no comments are visible until i read them & decide if i will allow them to be seen or not & i dont approve the negative ones towards our troops, never will.

  • God bless our troops. Thank you Marines, Sailors, Coast Guard, Soldier. You are the best.
