  • Im seriously considering about going to the Army! Even though I wasnt born in this country Im really thankful because I had always been over blessed in U.S & I think its time for me to do something about it! Which is joining the military!

  • when i hear this i cant help but to think of my grandpa who was a veteran of the Vietnam war. He passed last year on march 21st and unfortunatly i didnt hear this song before then but i thank him every time for what he did and sacrificed for us every day every time i hear this song.

  • im not gonna cry, im not gonna cry, im not gonna cry... Dang it im crying :'( Bravo!!! my fav part 0:00 - 4:26

  • for all the veterans and those who lost their lives on the great wars

  • This song speaks out in so many ways. We've lost so many good men, and just because I'm from Dublin Ireland doesn't mean that I don't feel your pain. I used to live in America and lost a dear friend to the war. R.I.P Stevens, my fellow firefighter.

  • bless the heros that serve

  • The only reason I would even think to dislike this would be because it makes me cry too hard

  • fuck the 4 ppl who dis liked this

  • @captaincheerleader98 ok macu pichu, I see you are still using your ancestors know it all rock.

  • @elissadon what does that mean?!

  • Comment removed

  • @elissadon That was in response to that mexican guy alexmejia26 that sent u a nasty message for supporting our troops.

  • Comment removed

  • @captaincheerleader98 Tell your dad i say thanks for goin to Afghanistan. My dad went to Iraq a couple of years ago and it was really hard to tell him goodbye. I hope your dad comes back safe and sound.

  • You know the site fmylife? I read something on there once that was funny and horrible at the same time.

    Basically, the wife a soldier gets a knock on the door and answers it to see two of husbands best military buddies with solemn faces and a letter. She starts bawling because she thought her husband died, but then he pops out of the car the two friends came in and started to laugh.

    It's funny and horrible, right?

  • freedom isn't free..

  • @aurora2802 tell that to Austria, Uruguay, Bahamas, Finland, Iceland, New Zealand and dozens other country for which FREEDOM IS FREE.

  • Uh, oh... Here come the tears...

  • @alexmejia26 everybody hates you!! if you cant stand behing our troops feel free to stand in front of them.

  • @elissadon "everybody hates you" hahaha do you really think I care if a whole bunch of retarded neocons hate me? I mean, what is "hate"? Am I going to get a terminal disease if you hate me? You hate; you love; you ignore me...it's all the same; by the way, did you know that 80% of marriages with one spouse in the military end up in divorce??? Anyway, hopelly your kids will grow up with one poor and uselees house wife like you who produces nothing but expenditures to the USA.

  • @alexmejia26 you ugly nasty person!!!! I am a banker not a house wife, thanks to tax payers like me ppl like you get a welfare check.....so crawl in a hole where you belong.

  • @elissadon lol ok you're a banker!!! but you're still going to divorce eventually hahaha

  • @alexmejia26 are you using your ancestors know it all rock?

  • @alexmejia26 alex mejia sos un culero!!! esta Española te desea lo peor del mundo.

  • @elissadon Dude, what the hell was that??? I don't speak Mexican, Italian or whatever that was.

  • @alexmejia26 the name mejia is not english!!!!!!!!

  • @elissadon duh!!!!! DeNiro is not English, Spielberg is not English, Delano Roosevelt is not English, La Guardia is not English, Verrazzano is not English, Kennedy is not English, Obama is not English, Cheney is not English, even McGraw is Irish/Scottish and yes Mejia is not English, so what???.....great job smartass!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @elissadon hahaha you really are stupid, aren't you? Mejia is a European lastname, you moron! as a matter of fact, it's a Galician name, strongly related to the celtic peoples of Ireland, Scotland and Britanny. But of course in order to know that, you need to go to college, perhaps a master and a Phd like me...or wait...you actually learn that in middle school..."Banker" lol yeah right!!!! please don't cry!

  • @alexmejia26 Mejia is Mexican!!!!! are you using your ancestors know it all rock again.

  • @elissadon "Mejia is Mexican" hahahaha dude, for a second I thought I was having a discussion with some degree of common sense, but obviously you're retarded like your husband...If Mejia is Mexican, probably McGraw is Japanese right?? lol, anyway good bye widow!

  • @alexmejia26 NO MacGraw is irish!!!! mejia is mexican!!!

  • @elissadon well, I was the one who said that, did not I??? by the way, do an experiment, go and tell an Irish person "English" and then see what happens!!!! really, each comment is making you look more ignorant. By the way, as far as I know, you were the one typing in Spanish!!!! you saying...

  • @elissadon so technically if you believe that an American necessarily has to have an English lastname, you're the alien; therefore, you should get the fuck out of my country. NOW!!!!!

  • @alexmejia26 this is not your country!!!! Alex Mejia!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @elissadon yeah, what I see is a regular white guy so what???

  • Comment removed

  • @alexmejia26 look machu pichu, my family came from Spain and my husband the soldier that is deployed overseas that you wished him to die, his grandparents came from ireland. you got it machu pichu!

  • @alexmejia26 look macu pichu, mejia is the alien!!!! I said my parents came from Europe but I was born in California!!!! I SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!!! YOU DON'T YOU TALK GARBAGE ABOUT THEM AND SAY NASTY THINGS ABOUT THEM....YOU ARE DISRESPECTING THEM NOT ME!!!!!! IT IS POTHETIC THAT YOU ALEX MEJIA DENY YOUR OWN MEXICAN HERITAGE AND GO AROUND SAYING YOU ARE 100% ARIAN..... BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE!!!!! GOT THAT MACHU PICHU!

  • @elissadon I am sick of your stupidity and nonsense, inferring things on a virtual forum about trolls you don't even know; however, I does not matter what you say, I will give you a fact: you're very likely to be crying and picking up the remains of your husband...I, "mexican, chinese, or whatever you want me to be" will be here virtually annoying retarded neocons like you and enjoying "freedom" to the fullest...how about that???? with love "Machu Picchu" lol

  • @alexmejia26 America is the best country ever. Im sorry if you dont have enough education to understand this song, but most of us other people do.

  • @YoYingY come on man, don't you see there are trolls on youtube who love to annoy random, sensitive people??? BTW, yes the USA is a great country (the greatest is debatable though) and man...trust me I am extremely educated, in May I am getting my Phd and I can prove it any time...like Richard Geere said in Pretty Woman: "I did all the way" Don't take it personal dude and "god bless America"...

  • @alexmejia26 Your a fucking piece of shit man! You need to go to hell! You need to get if fucking off this song and stop being a little fuck ! Get a life !

  • @TheJaeMal lol

  • @alexmejia26 What the hell man ! ? People died for you to be where you are now! Get a life and get off fucking youtube if your going to like a piece of shit and be talk bad about soldiers ! What the fuck!

  • @TheJaeMal don't waste your time Alex Mejia is an alien he does not care about this country.

  • I don't even like most country music, but I saw JR dance to this song on Dancing, and for the first time watching, I cried. Beautiful song. Support your troops, they're out there fighting for our freedom.

  • This song gave me chill's while in Iraq, tears while in the hospital, and both as i listen to it now. To all my fellow services members both male and female who have given the ultimate sacrifice. May God Bless. Semper Fi

  • I LOVE THIS!!! DEFINITELY BRINGS TEARS.

  • @soldiersrock100 Im goin too(: but i got 7 years... im only in 6th grade):

  • @MsVolleyball64 haha i only got a year and a half left ... marine corp all the way

  • @FallenXxglass Thats right! (;

  • Im goin to the US Marine Corps in 6 years. I already know it!

  • Great images to these beautiful lyrics...but I wanted to play it on my iPhone and couldn't so I couldn't share this...maybe consider chaning your settings so that it can be more accessible :)

  • @Alapaco2007 I tried to and even tried playing it on my android and it won't let me, I'm not sure why. I apologize for the inconvenience.

  • Dear Grandad, I miss you soo much and even though you didn't fight in any wars this song for some strange reason reminds me of you, maybe its cuz if u were still alive you'd be my soldier. I was a baby when you died and i wish i knew you soo badly! I love you soo much and i'll see you on the other side.

    xoxo

  • Cried for HOURS after I saw this on Dancing With The Stars </3

  • @lillygirl181144 ME TOO.....ITS HEARTBREAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL.L

  • :''[

  • God bless all our troops and god bless the families of those who didn't make it.

  • Great video, and great song, but the soldiers at 2:01 are British and then at 2:40 it's a canadian, I only mention because I know it would bug my brother who's in Afghan

  • @account012399 why should it really matter we are all fighting the same war....my whole family is US military and i dont see how it is disrespectful to show other ally soliders they have lost soliders too...i have friends and family in the middle east right now too and more that willl be shipping out soon...

  • @alexmejia26 you're the fucking cheesy peice of shit. I hope you fucking rot in hell. show some respect asshole.

  • @cuconato13 Ohhh really? Am I the one singing about morons who died for the ideals of some corrupt politician in DC? Am I the macho singing about "she's my kind of rain" and many other girly topics? fu#k off idiot!

  • Comment removed

  • @alexmejia26 I am done talking to you machu puchu!

  • @cuconato13 that guy Alex Mejia is from mexican ancestry, but he is so messed up he is ashamed of his mexican blood, so he keeps goind around telling people he is European. Dont wate your time trying to get him to understand how disrespectful he is to our troops.

  • @elissadon disrespectful???? yes, I am disrespectful but at least I acknowledge that; you on the other hand are an alien who disrespect all the non-white soldiers with her racist comments...BTW I am not European, nor are Americans morons.

  • I love Tim and his music. This songs message is very powerful however home is where your family is not in the ground. I know what he means referring to heaven but until your wife and kids join you there it aint home. If she remarries and spends 25 years with the next guy, who will she spend her time in heaven with?

  • @alexmejia26 lol beaner

  • @rstauf918v Indeed, with a Phd and 100% Arian blood.

  • @alexmejia26 machu pichu got demantia!

  • Comment removed

  • I just want to say why are we gonna bag on people who dont support out tropes and dont like this song, did veterans die just for people to do this?!

  • @purplepunk1231 how dumb you are, im pretty sure the people who died for our country gave the people the right to dislike this video right?

  • "if your reading this, halfway around the world. i wont be there to see the birth of our little girl." This is the ONLY thing making me think twice about the military. god bless our country, and be with all the heros, fallen and came back safely, who left their families to serve everyone of us. THANKYOU US MILITARY. SEMPER FI

  • Just because you dont support war doesnt mean you can support our troops.

  • this is wat i like about country music they have music that supports the great ol red white and blue

  • to the 3 people who disliked this: please go kill yourself. you are a spineless little fuck. anyone who even tries to enlist has more balls that you ever will. my family is a military family. i was an army brat for the first 4 years of my life. my brother is army, my sister, air force. i have 3 cousins in afganastan right now. my uncles served in veitnam. both my grandfathers fought in ww2 and one in korea and then became cia. i tried to enlist but was turned down due to a birth defect.

  • i am actually a 17 year old guy an im joining infantry school in 8 months and this song actually brought tears to my eyes..god bless all of our troops and bring them home safe to there familys and may the fallen rest in peace you make us all proud...you are not forgotten

  • @feydreamz86 i makes me cry every time

    

  • I have to cry when I listen to this song. My great-grandfather (WWll,rip 9/11/01), grandpa, uncle, aunt, and a couple of my family were all in the military and this song makes me glad they all came back safely.

  • I'm so glad My dad and uncle made it back from Iraq safely

  • to the 3 assholes who disliked this, you can go die in a fucking hole!!! you obviously dont fucking know what its like to see any loved one walk in formation onto a plane and leave you for a year because they are over seas fighting for you fucking freedom! Soldiers have to give up their families, friends and sometimes even dreams! They give up their lives, so we can sit safe and sound at home and know we are going to be safe! To all the people who fight for America i salute you, thank you!

  • HOOAH

  • You remember they chose to go. Thats true Braverly

  • 3 people hate freedom

  • my older brother is in the USMC and i cry everythime i hear this song

  • i leave for boot camp next month. my mom cries when she hears this song

  • when i grow up, i wanna me in the military. that is my goal. im only 11. God bless our troops forever :)

  • Not to diss the song or the uploader but the first 15 seconds of quietness I think was to avoid the youtube mp3 check instead of saluting but I like how you decided to use that 15 seconds to salute the soldiers who fight for our freedom <3

  • I definitely support all our troops but even though this is an awsome song, it's also really sad. My husband deployed 3 times and is going again, I really don't want one of those letters. God Bless America and all our troops!

  • 3 Ignorant ass people disliked this songs witch means They don't care for the troops I hope the don't like the freedom they have cause the sure as hell don't deserve it .-.

  • R.I.P Ken VanGiesen

  • 3 people are people from other countries who don't understand what the US went through.

    ~♥Proud to be American♥~

  • i love every man and woman who has givin there life for me and my family to have our freedom you are the true american heros the one out there fighting for us. No one should ever get that wrong salute to all the soldiers and my flag with remain at half mast everytime one of our troops dies

  • all the troops are saying thanks to the person who made this video nd yes thanks...but also thank you to all the troops who risk their lives everyday for us to be free!!...God Bless America nd Our Troops!

  • Awsome song and sad at the same time.

  • this song is very touching... every time i hear it it brings tears to my eyes. thank you, america's troops. you have no idea how much you mean to me!

  • Who ever is the 2 people who dont like this, you obviously didnt get a letter from the military saying your loved one died!

  • what kinda people dislike this ?! this is an amazing song, god bless our troops "Freedom is NOT free"

  • i had about 5 or 6 friends join the army in marines...they all went 2 iraq or afghanistan...about a week after they got there, they all died....i made a playlist in memory of them all and this is the first song out of the 3 i found...R.I.P. my friends...i hope 2 c u again some day

  • @willmill6 lol who is this??

  • when i get out of high school i'm going to the usmc

  • i sang this song on remeberince day at our school when i was in grade 7, the troops there were crying and some of our teachers, i felt like i was the greatest and i still feel it :) god bless our troops :)

  • my boyfriend just left for basic and im so scared hes not gona come back and this song def does not help but i love it its one of my favorite songs bc i no its something good to do for the country i just wish he was home.

  • i am a 16 year old boy. and my father is currently deployed to afghanistan and has been gone for a year already and has at least another year to go and every time i hear this song i cry. i think what if he doesnt come home? then what will i do?

    i give my thanks and praise to the men and women in uniform and for all they have done for us and the sacrifices they make every day to protect our freedom.

  • @MrIRESPECTwomen Don't think like that... I hope all the men and women come back home soon and safe. I know how it feels losing a parent and thinking of it must be hard. your dad will come home same.

  • @Busterbrown883 thanks for the support

  • @MrIRESPECTwomen No problem i would love to thank him for serving our country!

  • As i listen to this i can't help but worry about my friends ramos and cody. Ramos enlisted in the Marines about a week before we finih up the school year his jr year. He soon will be headed in to boot camp. But its not fair because if anything happens to him not only are his friends affect but so is his son of whom is still to young to remember him. As for cody he enlisted in the national guard and will leave soon. I pray that neither of their families have to ever recieve letters like this

  • my fiance just left for basic training, and everytime i hear this, i cry.. very nice

  • God bless each and every service man and woman that serves in our military!!! Thank you to all of your familes as well. They sacrafice as much as the servicemen and women do as well.

  • There was an amazing Marine, Sgt. Mark Bradley that lost his life Wed. 6/15/2011 from injuries that he suffered after stepping on an IED in Afghastain on 6/3/2011. He lives behind a young wife, Samantha. He was a home town boy from Clayton, NC but stationed @ Camp LeJune, Jacksonville,NC. This song is so beautiful. God Bless all of our Service Men and Women and their families. What a sacrafice to ensure our freedoms.

  • @bphix27520 OMG! My friend PFC Ryan Larson lost his life Wednesday 6/15/2011 from an IED in Afghanistan as well. Nothing has been harder to accept. We just graduated together a little over a year before. He was so young. Only 19. Plus we were from a small town so it's taken a huge toll on our small town :(

  • This song is really hitting home today. There was an amazing Marine, Sgt.
