Going Home - Fallen Soldier Bagpipe Tribute

Going Home has become a standard bagpipe song played at funerals, both military and civilian, for years. In fact, as we carried my own grandmum out of the funeral home to the hearse, a piper played it for her. I'm a former soldier, and far too many of the best & brightest young people who have gone in harm's way to protect our freedoms have paid the ultimate price for us. Not just Americans, but our allies, too. Never forget...

Again, I reiterate for everyone....I did not purposely leave any country out as a slight...I understand that Italy & France have both lost troops in the war. I chose Americans because I was an American soldier. I chose Canadians because my mother is from Canada.I chose Brits because they (and the Scots/Irish/Aussies) are most closely associated with the bagpipes. I chose Germans because I lived in Germany for two years. I chose Poles because my surname is Polish. Can we please put it to rest now

Ich bin Deutscher und bin stolz solche Nachbarn wie Schottland, England, Amerika und viele andere neben ihnen zu haben. Gott segne und schütze unsere kämpfenden Truppen und uns alle.

I am german and proud of having neighbours like the England, Scotland, America and many more. God bless and save our fighting troops and us all.

To anyone looking for some German-American hate, you won't find much. America is Germany's largest foreign investor. America has been rebuilding us since the wall fell, uniting our nation to be strong. American here with citizenship in Deutschland, I consider both places to be my home.

@MeierTV Where in Germany do you live now? I absolutely loved my two years stationed there.

If no one can play nicely in my little playground I'll take the video down and thus remove all the comments. Since it's MY video, the pipes are for whomever *I* say they're for. I served alongside German troops, and German troops have lost their lives fighting alongside ours in the Iraq/Afghanistan theater of operations. I chose photos of troops from countries like the UK, Australia, Canada, Germany, and Poland. If anyone has a problem with it, tough shit.
