Remember Australians stood next to America in Vietnam too, my Father was in the SASR and he gave all, RIP daddy.
So true mate, so true.
I do remember the Aussie troops. Operated with them just north of Vung Tau. Begged them to trade one of their FN-FAL's.
So true Mate Thank You from this Navy Squid Veteran
Thank You ! I know the pain.
Sorry for your loss. Rejoice in knowing he will not be forgotten.
I will never forget our brothers in arms.
The Vietnam Vet will always have a special place in my heart I thank them every day for their service as all veterans
My son is a 28 year old DISSABLED VETERAN when they hit his transport truck killing all but him he can't walk any more he is home now but he died that day on the inside breaks my heart so much pain God Bless all our Veterans
Thank you Aussies. My cousin served in Vietnam. He wasn’t right after his service. He was kaputt
Peace for each and every one, Lest we forget as an old Aussie man "war isn't right, no war is "... At least at last even we Aussie's aren't at war now. Thank you Fawn Soldier Egality Fraternity Liberty for each and everyone
I am an disabled veteran... Faught in Iraq and Afghanistan, all gave some, some gave all. God bless our troops
God bless you my brother! You are one of Elite.
God Bless All Our Veterans
Military we thank you for the ALL that you give for our Liberties 🗽
My Dad was a Korean, Vietnam veteran. Never talked about what he saw. Then he did. I was broken. TY for this.
Outstanding performance ❤🎉
I’m proud to call her my friend.
I agree with the song. I as a female served 32 years in the Army best decision ever made. Once a soldier always a soldier.
Bless you, Mary, for all you gave.
deep respect from a scottish veteran....all brother and sisters together.....
Thank you for your service, Ma'am.
Mary Muffler Gratitude for your and every veteran’s service, no matter what they did. Cooks, clerks, infantry, ALL. Bless you all.
Thank you so much for devoted service. Big salute to you and everyone who has and who is wearing the uniform
Thank you for your service and sacrifice and thank your family service and sacrifice and those that made the ultimate sacrifice 🙏🙏♥️♥️
My daddy is 95 and still talks about his love of serving 25 years
Outstanding Soldier! Thank you so much! I truly get it!
This years marks 50 years since I stepped foot in South Vietnam. At 70, I still cry for those in my platoon of Marines who were absent at morning muster as we stood, weary from the all night vigil to find a dark location in the jungle to get low enough to bring them home to us, and on to their loved ones who knew nothing of the fury of gunfire that took the lives of men we had breakfast with early in the day. The joys of a USO show the night before and the photos that captured their last moments of happiness that became lost in so many moves in a lifetime.
Faces of 19 & 20 year olds who are forever young men that are etched in my mind who should resemble the image I see in my mirror. They never age in the minds of loved ones, girlfriends, fiancees and buddies and those of their unit who pledged their lives to now feel the void in their hearts. We remember them as we see our flag pass by through moist eyes and it causes little children to ask their Mom or Dad why a grown man cries. It is simple. Love of country despite of her flaws and love of comrades who shared the same and cared for the generations of Americans to come who they desired to keep safe from all of the worlds aggressive evils!

Well said Larry, How many times have I heard, mom, why is that man crying?
The sacrifice that can never be repaid in this life. I salute your service and thank you.

Was very proud to serve in the army, after three years I transferred to the Coast Guard to finish my 20. So glad would not have wanted to miss serving my country, the best in the whole wide world. Great song, great words, I wish more folks today felt that way. 😥

Dad was in WWII, in the Philippines US Army. Taught me Respect and Love of Country, Honor the Flag. I joined the Army during Vietnam. Uncle was where my dad was on a PT Boat. Uncle on a Destroyer in the Pacific WWII. Uncle flew about everything the Air Force had, retired few years back. Proud of our tradition of service to our Country and the service to it’s people. May GOD Bless America. All gave some, Some gave ALL.

First time I heard this song BRC I was at our local pludunk Idaho fair on a ride and this was the song the carnie was playing. Deeply impacted me, and this young ladies version is awesome
Beautiful Sgt and beautiful song! Thank you from a proud 11Bravo SSG.

So touching and heart felt. Just beautiful
My dad gave all. I was conceived when he was on leave 76 yrs ago. Before I was born, he was sent to North Africa and eventually died when his B17 was shot down by the Germans. This song really moved me. Standing ovation, you bet!

Did I read your post right.., that you did not get to meet your Father?
You are a most precious child for both your Mother and Father....,
Thank you for sharing... and reminding us all in all of our nations from sunrise to sunrise around this planet!, that we all still owe that debt to Yourself , Your Mother for your loss and the cost in your life’s as well as to all those fathers and children of those young men and women who chose to make the stand🌹
I am always haunted by my Mother telling us complaining kids.. “you don’t even know that you’re alive”... now in my 50’s I finally start to see what she went through.. and our Father used to speak of the allied military and losses, ships gone within minutes, cities in days and weeks.. and he said of the USMarines..., when they sailed into Wellington, in New Zealand darkest days...., that the church bells rang all day...
He said that you must understand how desperate things were in Australia and New Zealand.., we thought that we & the Pacific were about to fall... “and the Marines arrived”🌹
You’re a miracle 👍
Said!
Non P
Just so many men that died in wars, gave up so much. in my lifetime Vietnam was a war where so many young lives were thrown away. Thank you for sharing about your daddy you never played with👴, god bless you.
Couldn't be said better. God bless you and your dad.
three out of Three......Beautiful song....sung beautifully...by a beautiful young woman Soldier.
Deeply heartfelt moving rendition sung by a most appropriate person. Well done. Thank you for your service and all who have served.

Wow, that put tears in my eyes for sure and she sings beautiful.
Mr. Radin, thank you very much for the positive comments. It is greatly appreciated.
Awesome Performance, Nam Vet.
U.S. Army sergeant Christiana ! A beautiful woman and a beautiful voice. And a brave woman too, otherwise she wouldn't be in that uniform. 'Some gave all and all gave some'!. I'll never forget these beautiful words in the song. Loves from India, far away. A soldier is a soldier is always a soldier. Salute to Sgt. Christiana.
Thank you for this SGT Ball. Many of us lost buddies in Viet Nam, the Sandbox and in other areas of our world. The other night I tried to say a prayer for all my friends who are gone now. I fell sleep before I could finish. So many, so very many.
Love this song, she sings it with love and hearts for the past and future soldiers.
My dad was in the 101st airborne during WWII, I was a Recon Marine in the early 70s (joined not drafted), I was sent to a far away land by the government.My son is a Special Forces Soldier for 15 years, with numerous deployments. We love this country and would be very happy to help anyone pack and leave who does not wish to be here. I understand what the song means.
Amen !
Depends on how long your going to give us to China 🤣🤣🤣
If you don't love this country you can damn well leave it and we will even provide the moving company in most cities it is called Waste Management
Semper fi!!
awesome sir...as in the uk we are being lost to the invaders/infesters.
Wonderful song…..Thankyou👍❤️
My dad lost his brother in WW11. This song would bring tears to his eyes every time. My dad was wounded in the battle of Naha Okinawa. 6000 men were killed in that battle. He was in Gaum. Gaudal canal, Leighte, Iwo Gima and okinawa.
Was an 11 Bravo squad leader with the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vietnam from 8/66-8/67.Today,I'm a 73 year old disabled veteran.God bless!
Carpe Diem thank you brother from another 11B
@@chrisullery3386 Okay,Chris,and thank you my brother!
What a beautiful rendition. This beautiful young lady does it so gloriously .
Thank you young lady you make me and America very Proud. God Bless you and your heavenly vice.
This song still brings tears to my eyes, even at the age of 74!! I lost a few friends in the Vietnam War, and always felt a little guilty about it, because I couldn't go because the military rejected me in '65 right before I graduated high school because I was an epileptic on medication!!
Have no worries, I served for you.
U wanted to serve, that's enough for me, u were ready and prepared to sacrifice all for liberty freedom and the great nation of the U S of A,Chris from the UK
Thank you
God bless you for your desire to serve!
Trust me there is survivors guilt I do to
Awesome song by an awesome soldier. Played this over and over since first saving it. Thank you.
An absolutely amazing performance! We should all forever salute all those who have, who do, who will wear the uniform, and sacrifice to ensure that our freedoms remain intact.
GOD bless my high school friend, HE GAVE IT ALL. R.I.P. JOHN WAYNE ACOSTA.
God that was so Beautiful and Thank you all for your Serves🥀🤗🙏👣👣👣👣
When I came home from Nam on July 6, 1970...I had lost seven brothers of honor, I came home knowing five...I have been involved in four passing...none know the grief of seeing a former combat brother pass...they take a portion of your heart and soul with them...yet...they leave you enough heart and soul in order to welcome another future soldier home. I met a Nam vet on a flight in Honolulu last week, I took a knee and welcomed him home...he lowered his head and began to cry....fuck Covid, I held him and cried with him..we whipped our tears from each others eyes...his tears ran down my face...they were salty...the same salty taste of brothers we lost in Nam...what a sweet ....salty, horrific, painful, shameful and humbling taste....yet it calmed my mind, my heart, my shame and my faith. Only two of us are still living...I pray God we meet before we move on to Glory.
I am a combat vet of Vietnam and desert storm.
I served in the U.S. Navy Nurse Corp. God bless America's allies. They have been their through it all.
Thank you! Thank you to all of you for service to your nations and the alliance that has bonded us.
God gave us freedom and our democracies,
it's up to us to defend it around the world.
Sacrifice is never easy. But sacrifice we must and we'll again and again.
As the mother of of a Iraq war veteran I have to say that I have been blessed with a homecoming. Many did not. Thank you for the song...I had never heard it before but will never forget it
thank you for your veterans service.i too had a nephew that served in iraq,we unforunately did not get a homecoming
@@peacemaker-du4hz I just wanted to write, from North Carolina, that I am so sorry....
Thank you for your service 🙏
We all gavesome my high school friend lost his life I'll never forget him 7/20/1970 USMC
No matter whether you are in UK, Australia or USA Defence Forces this songs means so much. I’m proudly the mum of a serving Australian Army member, my father was in the Royal Navy, I’m fearful every time my son’s regiment goes into ready for deployment phase and I pray for his safe return.
Hello Jo
How are you doing? Hope you and your family are safe
Grinds…. Can’t win a poker game but in combat they can’t kill us never worry
You are definitely right. The brotherhood stretches over the oceans for sure. I will never forget Great Britain playing our national anthem on 9/11 it shows the connection our country's share.
@@tylerjakes3136❤
True, all gave some. And some gave all.
Beautiful song and lady.Love it.
Some gave all was originally done by BILLY RAY CYRUS many yes ago. A very beautiful song when you actually hear/listen to the words. I am an adult daughter of a Korean war vet-almost my entire family has either served or been married to a service member. TO ALL I SAY THANK YOU
I am an Air Force vet who did Aerovac missions in and out of Vietnam. I am now dying a very painful death from Agent Orange. Serving our Country is not for the faint of heart. God Bless all those that
Have served and the families left behind.
@@Joanienp Thank you for your service. May God bless you and help you. Take care
@@Joanienp God ease you on your way Sir...I am sorry we failed you as a nation...! Be at peace with yourself and your family now....Thank you!

Man she is gorgeous and she Singss gorgeous
Such a beautiful Soldier, inside and on the outside.
Discovered this awesome performance last year, and didn't want to let this Veteran's Day pass without sharing it again as l did last year. And also once again salute Christiana Ball for her service and her amazing delivery of this touching tribute to our men and women who have worn the uniform, both past and present.
Thank You for that. BUT Veterans Day is not for the ones KIA. That’s Memorial Day! KIA is a Solider Killed on the Battle Field during a time of War or conflict with America.
This song brought me to tears!!!!!! Thank You Sargent!!!! You deserved the standing ovation!!!!!❤ May Your Guardian Angel watch over You and All your Brother's and Sisters that keep us safe!!
So powerful and moving song. She gave it justice and meaning. Very inspirational! I kept hitting replay and never get tired watching this video. God bless those who served and those still serving. May The Lord shower you with all the blessings you all richly deserve! Amen and Amen!
This girl sings wonderful, I love! And this song is beautiful! Congratulations
As a patriotic, USA American Nothing more can be said! She has patriotic valor!
