    God bless our troops.

  • My mom thinks its a sad song but still have our troops in prayers and

    God bless our troops

  • Thanks to all our soldiers you are in my prayers

  • f*cking onions...

  • How can people dislike this song?!!! Seriously, that just shows how you're not thankful for having freedom, if you like in america

  • so grateful i have this on my iPod.

  • There are some videos where it feels so wrong to press the Like button, because you LOVE them... this is one.

    So thankful for those who serve.

  • i remember when i joined the Air Force 4 years ago, watched this at Church. I remember when the song says "and then 2 years later" Everybody would cheer. This Song will always have a special place in my heart.

  • I´m proud to say, that I shed manly tears today

  • don't think this guy could ever phantom how much this song means to recruits... and eventually Marines. thank God for this song

  • I love this song. It reminds me of the packages I got while I served my 2 tours in Iraq.

  • that girl looks WAY to young to be his mom...

  • Bring them home, Ron Paul 2012.

  • you know how many times I cry when I listen to this song? xD

  • i am in the navy and we would sing this song at the smoke pit at night

  • I loved this song! I had never heard of it until recruit training, during church. I cried every time, lol, but it's such a powerful song! I graduated on 20120113, so I'm still very lost in the sauce right now. This makes me feel more "at home," lol.

  • @kevincostnermyhero

    Hey boot, we don't typically use military date format for shits and giggles lol.

    But congrats on making it through recruit training, welcome to the Corps.

  • @pa791taylor24 Must be used to it, I guess, lol, but thanks! :)

  • watched this video in basic on sundays..still love it!

  • nice to see all the young airmen just getting out of basic saying how much they love this song from sundays in bmt. Ive been out of basic for almost 3 years and believe me, those songs you hear will stick with you forever

  • semper fidelis

  • first time i heard this song was in my english class and i was all choked up reading it...makes me cry watchin tha vid.

  • I sang this in my town talent show, god how I love this song!!!

  • I remember watching this in basic.....I was medically discharged from the military but I still feel a strong connection with anyone in the military. I would like to say thanks to all my brothers and sisters for the sacrifices. Some of you sacrificed much much more than me....I'll never forget the brothers I lost. You'll always be in my memories.

  • we sang this in 5th grade 4 vetarns day concert EVERYBODY cried!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow

  • i cry every time i listen to this, its such an amazing song!

  • my girlfriend leaves for basic in june, i dont know how i will make it without her for those 4 months... but im so proud of her <3 I love you Jazminne Gelpi. your my soldier <3

  • o.o most amazing song ever

  • Everyone celebrates the ones who go to War, but what about the men and women who are at the bottom of the food chain, the ones who are payed less than what their job is worth, many of them fight to keep their family alive, they sacrifice just as much as war Hero's and are never recognized, where do you think many of the soldiers came from, these people who kept them alive and raised them

  • i hope that my mom and my girlfriend think of this song if i ever go into war with the army... :)

  • First saw this video in Air Force basic, and have not stopped watching it since. Really powerful message.

  • A good song. And thankyou to all those ppl serving in the military and hopefully u come home soon:)

  • Our son John is a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force and leaves this month for flight training. He's been passionate about the military and serving his country since he was a little boy. He is fulfilling his dream. May God keep him safe and all the men and women that serve in our armed forces protected.

  • Its weird listening to this song. just graduated basic for the Air Force and we listened to this song every sunday at church... cried every time thinking about family and friends. Ill never forget this song.

  • BMT HUAA!!

  • Big shout out to all my brothers and sisters at Lackland Air Force base going through basic training. I know this song gets at least 1 view on sundays there. Praying for all the people there and that are serving the country wherever they are.

  • We in amrica have a right to choose and if a woman wants to sevre her coutry then she will for us here they get the utmost respect!

  • I love this song it just remines me that there all people makeing choices to save someone and die even though they know that there r people home that will miss them and that they will do lots of things to protect the amrcan dream

  • This song is so sad O-o

  • I love this video. Makes me cry every time.

  • I love thisb song it is so sad

  • Comment removed

  • This song..... Has no meaning to me. No true value. I'm willing to follow the military into victory, but being hated and a loner your whole life takes its toll. This song keeps me going though. I gotta admit.

  • @EpicDrew15 youre a jerk

  • Huh? I love the song, but I have no religion and I'm not very sentimental. This song inspires me though.

  • We listened to this song every Sunday at church in the all weather training facility. Private Pruett 2nd Recruit Training Battallion E co. Plt. 2096 MCRD Parris Island.

  • @SemperFi2096

    I knew I'd find this comment on here sooner or later. PFC Henry 2nd Recruit Training Battalion F co. Plt. 2074 MCRD Parris Island. Semper Fi brother.

  • I cry every single time I listen to this song so beautiful

  • BMT!!! I will never forget every sunday.

  • My husband is in training for the Air Force now and in every letter he sends me he asks me to watch this..ever since his first letter three weeks ago I have not stopped watching it. I love this song and this video..I cry every time I watch it.

  • @beccaarcher2 Praying for you God is still good.

  • @beccaarcher2 ,Me too.

  • @beccaarcher2 Thank your husband for his service. We are grateful.

  • This song is so amazing and touching to me

  • such a awesome song! this song is amazing... i love this song, and the video is also great!! very good :) (sorry for bad english, I'm german)

  • @FreakyStile1 don't worry...If i tried saying that in german I would be as bad as you are saying it in english...actually WORSE!!

  • love this song.. my fiancee is in training for the marines.. and i pray nothing ever happens to him !

    thank you to everyone who has or is serving our country!!

  • Damn this SONG! It's been 3 years and I still cry

  • My father was in the war. When he came home we were crying so hard. When he was deployed again, the next year he didnt come back. My brother was other fighting..... This song makes my cry :(

  • @mrssummit49 That touched me my brother is in the reserves, I am so glad that he was safe when he got home from iraq...sorry about your dad...

  • People don't understand how it feels to lose a loved one in the war, or even to have to love someone in the war, the constant fear that any moment they could be leaving Earth, I love this song because it reminds me my family is coming back, my sister has been gone for 3 years but I won't give up because I know she will make it, my heart breaks at every memory of her, I thank all veterans for letting me have the life I have.

  • @bobblesworth yes I do I have to for an assembly for veterans and this is one of them but I did it two years ago

  • So sad but I love it

  • i agree with you steven98h

  • For anyone to dislike this video, you must be from another country... Iran, NK, Somalia, Yemen, and other shit holes..

  • thank to all the soldiers plus my dad,aunt,and cousin. thanks for the freedom

    that you have gave and you risks your lives we appreciate it really really very much please keep doing what you are doing we pray for you people to be safe and hope you people reunite with your families =)

  • I'm a Marine currently stationed at 29 Palms, CA every sunday at bootcamp they played this song at church, you have no idea how many strong men learning to be United States Marines would start crying just listenening to this amazing song, and how many would be inspired to start a new week of hell just to be apart of the best military organization in the world. You are a amazing artist, and you have no idea the impact you have had on untold amounts of men and women. 

  • my son went to basic. this is what they listened to every sunday. then he came home 10 days for leave showed me this. as the mother i couldn't stop crying. i now listen to this when i miss him. it brings the tears but also peace he will be coming home

  • it such a good lesson to teach us.

    we are lucky. i cant stop crying its too good

  • omg i cant stop crying ive watched this like a million times n i still cant stop myself from crying

  • i watched this video every sunday at chapel service while in basic training for the Air Force. made me cry every time.

  • For Matt and Chris... in Kandahar and Baghdad... I just want to say you are my best buddies and my heroes. It's hard to believe that the guys I spent my days in the high school courtyard with are now the men protecting my freedom.

    You are my best friends. You make me proud to be American.

    I am enlisting soon.. we will be brothers in arms again.

    Viva America.

  • MY dad worked in the air force and i was only 5 months old or so, but mom had to watch me over till he came home. I was so happy to see him God helped him through i love this song!!!

  • Sadest yet sweetest video I've ever seen

  • they played this song during the vets day assembly

  • Comment removed

  • This song painfully remindes me that my brother with soon going there, fighting for our country, I cry every time I think about it. I don't want him to go.

  • HUA

  • In 4-5 years, my boyfriend is gonna join the military. So, every veterans day weekend, I'm gonna write on my arm, You are good and you are brave. Not just for him, but for all the veterans. Alive and gone. God bless them and thank you for fighting for us.

  • US Army Airborn?! SWEET!

    my MOS is 31B (MP) and I am going try ranger school when i get shipped

  • I am singing this for my 8th grade class on Veteran's Day. Thanks to every soldier out there. I am very grateful for your sacrifices. I have a father in the military and my oldest sibling is a future soldier. Thank you all for making freedom free!

  • @kakola97 what do you mean hes a future soldier?

  • @adflwf It means that she has joined or enlisted in the Army, but she hasn't left for training yet.

  • @kakola97 what the fuck, why is america sending women to war, we dont kill women in australia!

  • @adflwf Men and women can join the military in America if they want to, it's their choice.

  • when i watch this i cry! let's remember people who died in our freedom .

  • i know how she feels. my dad is in the navy and hes been gone for a year

  • @t2t4th that is from the song to those who serve.. We r singin that song fir veterans day on Friday..

  • This is why the pledge allegiance is important to me because they've lived and died to those who serve they've taught us all what truth and strength should be to those who serve courageously. AND THAT IS WHY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE IS IMPORTANT TO ME!!

  • The bringer of tears in BMT

  • @ManOfLegit hey guys thank u so much 4 ur support we did great!!! it means a lot 2 me :)

  • This reminds me a lot of Jeff Shaara's novel, To the Last Man, probably because both the book and this song were out at the same time.

  • My wife and I just saw him sing this song live in Bismarck. I'm glad we went to see him.

  • Good song

  • I did Air Force BMT at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Tx in June 2010. At church every Sunday, this song played. Every time I hear it, it brings back so many memories. It's nice.

  • @SN1P3ALLSN1P3RS He mentioned your base in the Bismarck concert tonight. He said he was invited to the service and stood in the back while they played the song at service. He talked about how honored he was to visit the base and the service.

  • i luv this song so much i REALLY RAELLY REALLY HATE the ppl who dislike this song cause they dont kno what it means to be afraid

  • this is the only song that kept me goin in boot camp

  • my sister is in the army. she is my hero. she is amazing

  • I was there in 2006 they still play that at church on lackland..haha thats crazy i know they gotta get tired of playing that every sunday over and over and over.....

  • Every Sunday at bmt.. 320th trs "a cut above" ;D

  • Remember the heroes serving our nation overseas today, but also remember the heroes struggling through everday life with a part of them gone right here in the U.S. Pray for them.

    We don't kill because we hate what stands in front of us with intensity. We kill because we love what stands behind us with itensity.

    ~U.S. Marine

  • give me a moment........................

  • its umamerican to dislike this song

  • gives me the chills everytime... I love this song. God bless the troops

  • <3 Jon Rolf <3

  • They played this every Sunday at church services in Air Force BMT. It got me through. Love this song.

  • i remember this song from boot camp in the marine corps!!!

    

  • At my last 2 weeks of BMT they got rid of this song. They said they are trying to stray away from patriotic songs and gear more towards religious songs. I understand where they are coming from, but I feel sorry for all the new people going through BMT. This song was always really uplifting for members of my flight and myself.

  • My sister is going to basic in January 24th and im gonna sing this song to her for her going away present, Love you sis

  • me to! been out for 4 weeks now haha go keesler AFB

  • this is a very good song

  • Awesome! One of the best songs I've ever heard.

  • Comment removed

  • its the best feeling to get a letter form your best friend, significant other, family member thats across seas because as long as your able to hold a letter and talk to him/her you know they are okay i havent heard from him in four months he is my best friend and i am so worried he took care of me growing up... his girlfriend and i are so worried we cry alot..... what if he doesnt come home?

  • @kissingthroughstorms he will be back. just keep praying and trusting in God. that's all we can do. we can't control the situation over there. we can't force peace. we can't protect them. they are protecting us. my brother's in the army, so I know how you feel. I just pray for him every night. I pray that he'll be home safely in 7 and a half months. and I know he will be. I know I'll see him next year. until then, we just gotta be strong for them. Remember that they've got it worse. God bless.

  • This song inspires me to be an MTI one day, And im going to do it. I want to hear trainees come back to the dorms on sunday and sing this song, while rolling t shirts and socks.

  • This song is so beautiful I miss lackland so much!!! AmaznStaR

  • First time I heard this song was the sunday at the end of 1st week at Air Force BMT. My whole family is military spread out between the Air Force and Army who are deployed regularly, so the first time I heard this song it really hit home. Not only did it apply to my family but it would soon apply to me. It's an amazing tribute to american heroes in all branches of service.

  • saw him last night in springfield, mo. He sang this, and it was absolutely amazing!

  • 50 ppl are terrioists

  • this song still makes me cry every time i hear it. my soldier made it back in November 2007. but while he was gone he would call when he could i always said the same thing be for we ever hung up the phone (i order you to stay safe and come home to me and the rest of the family) the day he made it back home he walked up and said( baby i followed your orders and i love you so much).

  • Wow this actually makes me miss BMT

  • Im a new United States Marine, and they played this video for us at religious service every sunday, and this song helped me pushed through a lot of the challenge of recruit training

    this song was extremely touching, and i enjoyed every minute of singing it

  • some ppl need to really understand wat the military is and that if it wasnt for the military we wouldnt be able to do alot of the things we do at a day-day bases

  • Reminds me of Air Force church

  • This song makes me cry every-time I hear it!! It makes me think of my brothers and how there away all the time.

  • @faithfullstill Me too :'( my brother is deployed right now. He told us before he left to listen to this song when we missed him because he was coming back to us no matter what.
