YOU KNOW I SERVED IN VIET-NAM AND WE WERE RIDACLURED AND CALLED BABY KILLERS, WE WENT WHERE WE WERE SENT JUST LIKE MY FLAG. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY DESIRES TO RUN ANY OF US DOWN, THEN YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO LEAVE THIS COUNTRY AND RESIDE SOME WHERE ELESE
No matter where I am, whenever I hear this song I always get tears in my eyes thinking about the great men and women who have died for this country. God Bless all those that have died and all those who are serving today.
Now I lay me down to sleep, One less terrorist this world will keep, With all my heart I give my thanks,To those in uniform regardless ranks, You serve our country and serve it well, With humble hearts your stories tell, So as I rest my weary eyes... While freedom rings our flag still flies, You give your all, do what you must, with god we live, and In god we trust.
"And on 9/11 she took a mighty blow to her heart, when those towers came down and fell apart. But she that night she rose again as the searched the rubble for women and men."
@TheLauriewade Thank you it meens alot to our boys and I just sigend 8 Years to the Kansas National Guard where I can keep it flying like we have since 1636 we started this country we wont let it fall.
i love this song ijust cant belivie some people didnt like it oh the the person that there is a song like this are you talking about "1814" i love that song
Ok, is not that I don't like the USA, but trust me, you the usamericans are getting into places you shouldn't! you're pissing some people off with your empyre desires...trust me, people is getting sick of seeing you on every war, on every conflict on every disput, invasion, all...and then, watching you get all of the resources those countries in war, invasion, disput, etc. had...
@JoseColombia11 Yes and on every disaster aid relief effort too. Weve got enough troubles of our own and we still send aid. If this country ever goes down who will come to your aid then? Russia? China? They will own you and there wont be anyone to help out.
@mH8675309 Ummm sure, you come to help us...Please, where do I have to lit the candle to the GREAT AMERICANS who save my life diary, uh? My country had a flood for over 3 months at the beginning of the year in almost half of the country...You sent aid for like a REALLY SMALL TOWN. Really? didn't see your help. My country is in war, what you do? try to make militar bases of your own and ask for absolute inmunity. THANKS FOR THE HELP! Argentina had a crisis in which there was no food for everyone,
@mH8675309 What did you do? oh yeah, criticize the poor capacity the president had for solving the problem...Meanwhile, you create wars WHEREVER YOU WANT TO, what does my country do? SEND HELP TO YOUR TROOPS, send part of OUR OWN TROOPS, even though we have been in war for almost 50 years, WE SEND YOU HELP! Really? the only help I see you send over here is...oh well "you bring market and economy and blahblahblah"...Yeah, is that what you call help?
@JoseColombia11 Then go take of your own selves and stop begging for our help. You really think we need your soldiers? They are specks upon the hundreds of thousands of ours. Oh, and by the way, we don't start wars we finish them. So when your tiny country has another problem don't ask us, because we are not free aid.
@JoseColombia11 ok so you would rather leave every country that we are helping and let them do what ever they want . see the only problem with that is the people in those countries that have been killing people and are the ones that were in charge will come back and then what do you do what solution do you have for that we wont help your right we should do what we want and stop helping people
Despite all you hear, we are trying to help people. my best friends and family have been involved in the wars. They aren't over there and in danger just to take resources. despite what the media says, the soldiers over there know exactly what theyre fighting for My friends have seen some awful things and are trying to make the world a better place by making sure they dont happen again. It may not be our business or worth our lives, but if we have the power to help. Please dont blame us for that
the cubans were kicked out by castro mostly the criminals so if you are here in the u.s. u either were kicked out or escaped, but either way there are too many cubans were i was born in miami
I heard this when i got out of church. God Bless America. For those who died are dining with God and the saints tonight, while we're alive, honoring their names, and legacies.
i know i'm very proud of that ragged ol' flag, both my grandfathers served in the US Army, my uncle in the Navy, my great grandfather in the USMC, my cousin in the US Army, and my other cousin is a SEAL, and I'm headin into the military soon!
God bless the United States of America, the Great Republic
both are good branches. im in the coast guard and they definitely arent as wimpy as some people think. i think that any man who is man enough to join any military branch is a real man.
@TheRedboar363 and a patriot for their country. everyone who is and was in the military have gone to hell and back- that is what a true american and man is, someone willing to go the distance for their country, freedom, and their fellow man. Thanks for the wishes!
Im 15 years old and i left Lebanon when i was 12 and ive never seen a country more generous than this one my dad is coming in 3 months and 12 days god bless america

I am soo DISAPPOINTED THAT I CAN'T WATCH AND LISTEN TO THIS VIDEO OR ANY VIDEO FOR THAT MATTER!! KEEP'S SAYING INVALID RESOURCE PATH SPECIFIED!! I'VE BEEN ABLE TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO VIDEO'S SEVERAL TIME'S BEFORE AND NOW I CAN'T!! THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO WATCH AND LISTEN AGAIN, BUT ONCE AGAIN I CAN'T WTH?!?! WHY?! C'MON YOUTUBE PLEASE HELP ME OUT AND FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR ME!! PLEASE!!
This song always gets me watery-eyed. About the video, it was well done except for one spot: I don't think the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima was quite the right image to go with "she hung limp a time or two." Otherwise, the images seemed very appropriate. It's amazing how timely the lyrics about scandal and protest are even 40 years later.
Love the song and Digitalburn did a great job putting the song to pictures. I'm another misty eyed listener. Our country, like the flag in this song, has been through alot, particularly lately, but still survives. Here's hoping that in 2012 election we can be reinvigorated with what the flag stands for...justice, freedom, and liberty!
This song sucks. Did I miss something? The town is using everything the flag stands for as an excuse to keep flying a ragged old flag? Why not just buy a new one and show it the respect it deserves? I voted Thumbs Down.
@hltvPS The song isnt about a single flag.But the spirit of the american flag itself.What you missed is a story of a flag that has been flown through the roughest times of our country.But there it stands and stands still.
I didn't think someone could be stupid enough to miss something that obvious. It's not the same flag thats been through all those places, the flag hasn't even been the same design the whole time, he's giving those examples as reasons to be proud of the flag.
she got revenge after the terrorists killed so many on september 11 2001, many followed her after that day but many wavered, but when she finally got her revenge it was a proud day to be an american
my grandfather loved this song. he died of cancer but on the night of his death i sat holding his hands. i thought he was dead so i was crying hard but then this song came on the radio and he opened his eyes, lookrd at me and said sing it with me my little tadpole. and i sang with tears in my eyes. he died the next day. GOD BLESS AMERICA. If the need a=ever arrives i will die with a pole in my hands and that flag raised HIgh!
Even covered some history I wasn't aware of, but that flag is something to be proud of I love my country and I love my flag, as long as it waves in the wind or hangs there limply when there's nothing to push it I will always love to see it's stars and stripes hanging in the days light (sorry got slightly poetic)
im a britain, and im proud to be british, but in my own way i wanted to say god bless america, the way you took nothing and beat us british when we were the best army formed at the time, and now u r the most economically and technologically advanced country in the world, you showed us that no matter what u have in the world, the best weapon u can have is freedom and hope, i personally want to move to america coz i think it is an amazing country, god bless u guys!! from britain :')
god bless AMERICA!!! we will endure anything and nobody will ever bring us down and to those who try, no matter how long it takes we will hunt you down OOORAH!!!
It's possible that the dislikes come from people outside of our country. I very much appreciate Johnny Cash and this song. I had forgotten why I liked him so much when I was a kid. I was reminded today. He was a legend. God bless America.
The reason why the constitution protected slavery so long is to protect the UNITY of the the United States. If the issue of slavery had been brought up any sooner, say the day of its creation, the union would have dissolved back into the original states, which then would have been pulled back into Britain. (btw if you uneducated few who never listened in history and or government, the writer of the constitution Thomas Jefferson called for the destruction of slavery when he first wrote it.)
In the Enumeration Clause, where representatives are apportioned. Each state is given a number of representatives based on its population - in that population, slaves, called "other persons," are counted as three-fifths of a whole person. This compromise was hard-fought, with Northerners wishing that slaves, legally property, be uncounted, much as mules and horses are uncounted. Southerners, however, well aware of the high proportion of slaves to the total population in their states, wanted the
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. ~John Stewart Mill
LOL IT AMAZES ME HOW MANY AMERICANS DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR HOME AMERICA IS A CONTINENT YOUR STATE IS YOUR COUNTRY AS SPECIFIED IN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE BUT I GUESS ALL YOU GUYS MISSED THAT BECAUSE OF THE INDOCTRINATION IN SCHOOLS
This Ragged Ol' Flag is one worth defending. People might have forgotten what it represents, but for a long time it was the symbol for freedom and courage in a world of tyranny and bigotry. I've served my own ragged ol' flag knowing fully that she wouldn't exist if it was not for this one.
Not a fan of Country music, some for its tune or message, others because their racist. but of the few Country songs I listen to, its because I love America and these songs are for America and dont mention one word of Culture or Race.
the 15 likely are liberals that like to burn flags and spit on soldiers. GOD bless each and every one of you brave young men and women that defend our freedom.
@fireamracing people don't realize what our friends and family are fighting for is being taken away from us by useless bills and "reform" acts being passed. but what do i know i've only lost family and friends to war.
@sinisterin89 ppl have forgot the sacrifice but one day when they wake up and all are freedoms are gone and their is no constitution or old glory then ppl might wake the fuck up
@MrSouthernMan1 well i personally dont like the american flag seeing how it flew over slave ships and said segregation was ok and also i dont forget how the UNION FLAG pissed on the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION IN WAR BETWEEN THE STATES
@MrSouthernMan1 um NO REMEMBER THE ORIGINAL AMERICAN C0NSTITUTION PROTECTED SLAVERY FOR 90 YRS 13TH,14TH,15TH AMENDMENTS ALL STATES RATIFIED IT AND ALSO THE CONFEDERATE FLAG WASNT CREATED UNTIL 1861 SLAVERY HAD ALREADY BEEN IN AMERICA 90YRS AND THE LAST SLAVE SHIP TO COME TO AMERICA DOCUMENTED WAS 1808 SO THAT MEANS THAT THE ONLY FLAG REPRESENTING AMERICA THEN WAS THE AMERICAN FLAG WITH CONDOWNED SLAVERY AND PROTECTED IT YOU SHOULD READ UP ON HISTORICAL FACTS SOME MORE
@Southernjuggalo63 Look if not for that flag your ass would be sippin' tea and following the british. The 'slaves' would not have even gotten here if not for the tribes who sold them to us and because of us bringing them here we gave them a better life rather than havign their decendents suffer of AIDS, tribal warfare, starvation and genocide. They now live in America, where they can bitch about something that happened centuries ago. The Jews can bitch about history, blacks cant.
@HEXWOLF13 lol i see you hate learning historical facts cause everything i said you can research and find true its sad you still support a flag that flew over slave ships and a flag that condowned slavery and segregation throughout history i think it should be changed myself also 3 of my ancestors fought in the REVOLUTIONARY WAR
@Southernjuggalo63 i don't support it for what happened in those reasons i support it because it represents our freedom where we don't have to worry about being shot by our military where we don't get kicked out of school permanently and have the government chose our jobs where we are under communist rule i support a flag that supports freedom that supports change that supports change that supports getting it's problems fixed that is fully ready to defend it's self THIS IS WHY I SUPPORT MY FLAG
@HEXWOLF13 i agree with you that arabs and african sold blacks centuries before whites come along history proves that but my argument is we say we are loyal to a flag that said slavery was ok and segregation is ok
@Southernjuggalo63 During the time period yeah we condowned it. We also condowned cocaine in Cocacola, cat houses, and many other disgraceful things. Segregation was overturned by the Supreme court. The flag and country did nothing wrong. Hate not the icon of power but those who wield the power themselves.
@HEXWOLF13 all im doing is pointing out historical facts that seem to get lost in history and blamed on others when it was america as a whole that was wrong but during that time period they had more freedom than we could ever wish for but they had bad things like slavery and such

It's possible that the dislikes come from people outside of our country. I very much appreciate Johnny Cash and this song. I had forgotten why I liked him so much when I was a kid. I was reminded today. He was a legend. God bless America.

The reason why the constitution protected slavery so long is to protect the UNITY of the the United States. If the issue of slavery had been brought up any sooner, say the day of its creation, the union would have dissolved back into the original states, which then would have been pulled back into Britain. (btw if you uneducated few who never listened in history and or government, the writer of the constitution Thomas Jefferson called for the destruction of slavery when he first wrote it.)

In the Enumeration Clause, where representatives are apportioned. Each state is given a number of representatives based on its population - in that population, slaves, called "other persons," are counted as three-fifths of a whole person. This compromise was hard-fought, with Northerners wishing that slaves, legally property, be uncounted, much as mules and horses are uncounted. Southerners, however, well aware of the high proportion of slaves to the total population in their states, wanted the

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. ~John Stewart Mill

This Ragged Ol' Flag is one worth defending. People might have forgotten what it represents, but for a long time it was the symbol for freedom and courage in a world of tyranny and bigotry. I've served my own ragged ol' flag knowing fully that she wouldn't exist if it was not for this one.

They now live in America, where they can bitch about something that happened centuries ago. The Jews can bitch about history, blacks cant.

@Southernjuggalo63 i don't support it for what happened in those reasons i support it because it represents our freedom where we don't have to worry about being shot by our military where we don't get kicked out of school permanently and have the government chose our jobs where we are under communist rule i support a flag that supports freedom that supports change that supports change that supports getting it's problems fixed that is fully ready to defend it's self THIS IS WHY I SUPPORT MY FLAG

@Southernjuggalo63 During the time period yeah we condowned it. We also condowned cocaine in Cocacola, cat houses, and many other disgraceful things. Segregation was overturned by the Supreme court.
