You Raise Marshall Up

Song: You Raise Me Up
Artist: Celtic Women
Footage: "We Are Marshall" produced by Warner Bros. Company.

For those who don't know, the movie "We are Marshall" is about the tragic plane crash that killed the entire football team of Marshall University in 1970. My Uncle, who was #43, died when he was 19 years old. Many families lost their mothers and fathers, husbands, brothers, and fiances. It was a deep pain that was felt by everyone. However, even though many thought the football program should be canceled, against overbearing odds, Marshall was allowed to play freshmen on the team, and after many struggles, managed to pull themselves out of the ashes.

This song is a dedication to the football team, and a little description of how they worked together to deal with their loss and rise from the ashes of the plane crash.

I do not own anything in this mv. "We Are Marshall" is produced by Warner Bros. Company.

@Spiritrunner181 No, it was my uncle who was on the1970 team. My family has a lot of connection to this movie because of it, and I just love to make videos with the movie.

My dad played football there when the plane crash happend. He was one of the 13 players that did not get on the plane every day im Thankful he didnt and every year he struggles about his friends that died on that plane:(

From the ashes we rose.

My dad was attending Marshall University at this time. He had gone to MU on a football scholarship, playing in 1968 & 69. In the spring of 1970, he tried out for the baseball team...he made the team and received a partial scholarship...and quit the football team. He struggles every year, thinking about the brothers that he lost in that fatal flight.

Every year, I think about how our family might not exist...had he not "let his brothers down". This tribute is truly appreciated.

We will never forget <3

Then 10 or 12 years later Randy moss Chad Penninington and David Garrard took Marshall to there first winning season and 3 championships. WE ARE MARSHALL WE ARE MARSHALL i will be chanting that in a few years!!!
