Lyrics:
I saw her from a distance, as she walked up to the wall
In her hand she held some flowers, as her tears began to fall
She took out pen and paper as to trace her mem'ries
She looked up to heaven, and the words she said were these
She said, "Lord my boy was special, and he meant so much to me
And Oh, I'd love to see him just one more time you see
All I have are the mem'ries and the moments to recall
So Lord could you tell him he's more than a name on the wall"
She said, "He really missed the family, being home on Christmas day
And he died for God and country in a place so far away
I remember just a little boy, playing war since he was three
And Lord this time I know, he's not coming home to me"
She said, "Lord my boy was special, and he meant so much to me
And Oh, I'd love to see him but I know it just can't be
So I thank you for my mem'ries and the moments to recall
But Lord could you tell him he's more than a name on the wall
Lord could you tell him he's more than a name on the wall"

Jimmy, as a retired Marine and Vietnam veteran who lost 15 of his classmates from Odessa Permian and over twice that total in Ector County, I want you to know how special this song and you are to me. Semper Fidelis. Gene Hays
Semper Fi my brothers
@Ronald Hayes not all youth in this country are idiots, I get it! Thank you for your service sir. 🫶🇺🇸
Welcome home, sir! Thank you. I was in the army, (field artillery), from June 83 to Dec 91. I was very fortunate to have never tasted combat. (I missed the Gulf War due to the fact that the infantry brigade we supported did not go.)
Thank you for your service.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
I remember this song being about Vietnam. My dad was a Vietnam vet as well and visited the wall with him and sound fellow Soldiers when I was a kid. Anyway, whew... haven’t heard this song in years. 😪😢 powerful indeed.
God bless your dad had an older brother who was there as well
Thank you Jimmy for this song. Hope they play it when I pass on. Makes me think hiw much my mother must have missed me when for many times I wasn't with my mother on Christmas Day.....
For 30+ years now, every time I listen to this song - and it has been many - each feels more powerful and emotional than the last. Thank you, Jimmy Fortune, for this wonderful song!
Love this song it's so beautiful and heart touching. I do pray for the families of those who gave their lives for America. I thank God for our veterans and their families.
We lost 55k of our brothers, sons, and fathers in war we had no business being in,
You are so right, my husband was one of them. I was 17 & expecting a son who looks like his Dad. I miss even after 58 yrs. Lost him on 66June 1. It's coming up. I love this song
You are so right ! I agree 💯
GREAT SONG Jimmy Fortune For a Vietnam Veteran Who Gave All For the U.S.A. & GOD Bless You..................JESUS is LORD
Each and every name on The Wall (Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall) was a person: A son, daughter, father, brother, wife, sister, husband ... and each one of these precious children, for so many of them were still so young, each one of them is More Than A Name On The Wall. God bless them and thanks so much to Jimmy Fortune for this wonderful rendition!
Amen. th-cam.com/video/42dXJmJUFJU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=I1JLzkcuBvgXPJ6q
Jimmy Fortune has one of the sweetest voices. And having the Isaacs and Gordon Mote as backup is perfect.
Mike Rogers ..BGV… can sing so high!.. terrific!
@@nursemac6886 Beautiful........
Call my name
Beautiful song
A special thank you to all our military , veterans and rapid responder
When Jimmy joined the Statlers he really took off... Lew Dewitt was a great tinner singer with an unmistakable sound...i didnt think anyone could fill his shoes. But JF. Done it....
We can not stand down. Keep two feet on the ground and your heels up. We will take this push and come back stronger. Praise Jesus. Don't let them lie to you and accept it
I walked the Wall during a short visit to DC from the UK on 9/11 2003. It wasn't my war but it is my generation - it was a very emotional and humbling experience.
This song has made me drop tires and have remembered my late sister, died straggling fighting for her life ,,,I hoped to see her but she didn't come back home ....I just can't wait for the Lord's soon coming so that we get to see the loved ones..
Marie Nalwamba bless her heart and urs my sister 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 xxx
Powerful song, beautiful voice.
Drummer sure is hitting the high notes, sounds great.
His voice is soo comforting and soothing 😍 xxx
Such a powerful song about a Mother's love for her Son who gave his life being in the service so that we can go to sleep at night knowing we are safe thanks to the guys like her Son.
I'm borrowing your comment as I share this song! God Bless You
God Bless anyone who has lost a loved one at war.
That's a beautiful song, but war is a terrible waste. No one dies in vain, yet it's unfair to send young men to die to prove how tough old rich men are.
THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR THE GIFT OF REVELATION & FOR THE GIFT OF DISCERNMENT TO KNOW GOOD FROM BAD & FOR YOUR MERCY & GRACE & FORGIVENESS UPON US WHEN WE REPENT UNTO YOU LORD!
Beautiful song. One of the best singers I’ve ever heard. I was one of the lucky mothers whose son got to come home. Two tours in Afghanistan and Bosnia. Thank you so much for sharing.
the harmonies at 3:06 is excellent. The falsetto that the drummer sang is omg crazy. Just a beautiful song done so well.
Mike Rogers on drums...
my high school classmates Elmwood Park ILL.........RIP

I've seen that Wall. When the smaller replica was traveling through our town I took my boys to see it. I wasn't prepared for how it would affect me. It was a very sobering experience; for I have a cousin from Arkansas, an 18 yr old Marine whose name is on that Wall. God bless you Benjamin Parker.

thank you Jimmy to all the Nam Vet thank you and God Bless you had a classmate who never came home
My husband was a Vietnam Vet. He passed from colon cancer in March 2019. Yes, he was around Agent Orange.
@@cindybrunken4005 God bless you and your late husband

I'm SOOOOOOO Glad I don't know anyone who ended up "A Name On A Wall". To the loved one's (especially MOTHERS) haveing their "Name On A Wall" has to be the HARDEST thing they have/will experience in a lifetime. I want to cry.
I do...18 yr old cousin from Ark who didn't make it back home.
Was Laura Bretan invited Here for singing together, too ?

My son died in a car accident recently. I know it's a different reason for death than the military. It still feels the same. This song hit right at home in the heart. ❤
This is sick, and it's sad that Gaither is embracing American war worship.
Boy I just love Mike Rogers voice. It matches perfectly with Jimmy’s voice.
