My husband flew these Angel Flights from Nam bringing our wounded & dead back home. Always, ALWAYS so sad, so sobering. He would go back & salute them all. We owe our men & women who gave everything for us. And to those who came home with less than what they left home with. WE OWE THEM! 😢💯💔🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you, my dad just turned 78 on Memorial Day, Last of a forgotten breed of men who paved the way. Now we got Gen Z and can't do anything without a cell phone. God help us all.
I’m 73, your dad is among the greatest of our generation. Never, never, forget that fact. No one can ever say differently. Walking behind the Angel flight are the people who make it all happen. But especially those who stand at the door at the earliest break of the day or the silence of night. The officers and NCOs who first notify the family. Theirs is a difficult responsibility. Of a mothers’ whose eyes plead “don’t tell me what I know you must” as you stand face to face. Or the father, with clenched fists, who wants to avenge that which has happened. Brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, children, all with broken hearts and minds racing. This has be to done and done well. Give them a thought when you see a President checking his watch. USAF/ USN ‘72-‘80; 01-03.
Thanks from an Air Force veteran, 1979-1999. I’m teary-eyed from listening to “Angel Flight.” In memory of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who gave all.
We were coming back from Europe empty,our C-130 brought back 17 brothers. We had various countries escorting us , they flew missing man formation as respect.
The 130 thumbs down if you dont like America get out the Servicemen an women give their all which sometimes include their life so that we have our freedom ! May God Bless them all each an everyone of them ! An to the fallen may God Bless their families ! Thank you each an everyone who serve ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 👍👍
As of 10/22/2021 the scum count is up to 344. These haters need to pack their bags and get the heck out of this country, maybe go to Afghanistan, Iran or even Russia where I'm certain they'll fit right in! Some gave a little, some gave a lot and some gave everything they had to give just so LOSERS like this could do what they do best.....hate!
Amen. As a military family of long tradition I completely agree. My grandson was deployed and his plane nearly shot down. Thankfully my Marine came home in one piece.
I’ve watched that video I dozen times in today for the 13th time it just dawned on me all the flares I came out of the airplane. Those Casey are dispersed pawn attack to draw missiles, but it was in the shape of an Angel and bless.
Thank you for this, Radney. It holds a special place in my heart. I am a Veteran, had a son in the military, and now my grandson is in. It means a lot to have songs like this, with whats going on in this country today. Thank you again. God bless
Thank you to you, your son and grandson for your service. I'm truly grateful to you all for what you do. God bless you, your family and all our wonderful Military service members and families. 🇺🇲💚🇺🇲💚🇺🇲💚
When my brother left for Vietnam, I wrote a prayer in my Bible that he never have to be the passenger on an Angel flight. God granted that prayer. He came home alive. He passed 7 years after he came back stateside. 40 Harley Davidsons accompanied his hearse to his grave. But I listen to this song and my heart breaks for our people who didn't make it back. God bless America again.
As a veteran, this song always brings tears to my eyes. Me & my family that have served we were lucky to have been able to come home. There are SO MANY that didn't get to come home to their families. I salute each and everyone of you and I pray your family has been able to find peace with your sacrifice to protect our freedoms.
My brother was Air Force, I was Navy. He passed away in 2018 in Perth, Western Australia. We played this song at his funeral. My nephew and I did a proper flag folding during the ceremony. The Aussie‘s had never seen a ceremony like that. We sent him home properly. Thank you Radney
I was aboard an Angel Flight escorting 2 of my Soldiers home. May you boys Rest In Peace and God Bless. Think of you 2 a lot even though it has been close to 18 years. And God Bless the Angel Flight, flight crews. Stay safe.
Thank you for your service, sir! I am a retired corpsman, ‘81-’06, and have made several Angel Flights myself. May your soldiers rest in peace. UNTIL VALHALLA, BROTHERS 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for your service and I am sure their family appreciate it what you did and how you cared for them even though they were already gone, thank you for bringing them home
my grandfather 75 inf , i walked in his footsteps. He was my hero. A 20 year combat vet, we feel the same pain. But a new generation will take up the fight, we are their heros. god bless them
This song goes out to the 13 marines that we lost thank you for your service and what you did for our country and you will not be forgotten 😢😢💙💚❤️🖤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's been nothing but a blood bath from the beginning of time . Time for humanity to live in peace. God is going to deal with the world 🌎, God has already won. Satan already knows he is defeated. Take the red pill and wake up before it to late.
As they should Sir. You and I were raised in a different era. The terms domestic violence, child protective services or DUI didn't exist yet. That whole concept of boys don't cry was beaten into a boy. And my father didn't allow any of his children to cry or show emotions. He thought it was a weakness. Thank heavens things are different in the world now. I raised all sons. Being the only female in this house with 5 males I have a completely different insight on males than most. Men are our protectors, they keep order in the world. They take care of everything and anything women can't. Emotions are a human trait. Men have to be well balanced emotionally and supported by family and friends. In fact a male who can shed tears is beautiful being. ❤️ Dudes are tough but not made of stone. And I have to salute the men of the world for putting up with females. 😂 You guys Rock! I couldn't do it 😂🤣 I'm here if you need a Old fashioned pen pal. Hugs from Montana.
I love the bond we military people have. I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't served. You'll never know the closeness we brothers and sisters have. Great song gets me everytime.
@James Arnett Don't fret my brother. You will meet other veterans in your life that you will bond to ... Even closer than those of the past. All you have to do is give them a chance. Welcome home. Nam vet '69
Well said! I've been out since '99 and I still keep in touch with many of my brothers and sisters! This song gets me in the feels everytime I listen to it!
So many good men in my family and others Paid the ultimate price. Only to have our great Country stolen and sold out to communist China by xoe biden and the Marxist in the traitorous federal government.
@@Joooooonf9 my heart breaks the families left behind. Our brother KIA night b4 coming home. Was a heli pilot in Vietnam under no fly rule, but he did anyway to try to save save comrades. Our hearts eternally broken. God bless all who serve💕🙏🏼✌🇺🇸
I'm a retired airbus captain and I flew several "bus loads" of veterans to see the monuments in Washington DC. i was also a Special Forces SGT back in the 70's. Every morning in Camp McKaw they woud play this Balad of the Green Berets .... and all day "are you ready to quit yet?", You see, they were pushing us to the limits to see if we'd fold under pressure. It was the hardest training I had ever completed ..... so proud to wear my Green Beret. 10SFGA Medic on an ODA (A Team). It opened many doors for me. thank you for that opportunity to serve.
Glad you said "had" as that amount of patriotism is now spat on as being racist ! Civilians have changed too much and have no respect anymore for service personnel.
Was on a flight ready to board. Saw a soldier standing with a folded flag. Coming from a military family, I knew there was a soldier on board. It hit me hard. Was traveling first class. Asked the Delta desk to switch our seats. They argued with me but I was adamant. I'll never forget that moment. Soldier kept telling me no, I didn't need to do it. I told him do it for my dad that I lost in Vietnam. Watched them take the casket off the plane. It broke me.
I cry each time I hear this awesome song. We had an Angel flight in 1969. It breaks my heart everytime, and at same time brings me comfort for respect shown.
It’s not heart wrenching! It’s a warriors death, when you stand before the Lord and he says, “hard journeys end wee welcome home son. Enter for you’ve been through hell, now you’re home in glory”!
From Canada. Nothing but respect sir. We are a military family. My father is being buried in two weeks. He was a flying officer. He left us with one arm but his heart remained. Godspeed Gentlemen.
My heart is with you, Susan. I come from a military family, myself. A great- uncle, was POW, Battan survivor. With sadness, and strength, I always thank those serving. A funny thing. The cast, writers, and crew of a silly, little show, called M*A*S*H, kind of put the bad things, in prospective, for me. I hope today, is better, and brighter for you.
Susan,. I'm sorry for your loss. My Father a WW2 Marine passed in 2019. He left me with so many great times and memories. He rarely spoke of his service until I wanted to join the Marines. He then opened up about it to me and reminded me that there's a life after that and to keep that in mind. I just thank God that such men lived to be honest. God Bless.
My husband served in the Navy and work for Denver police for 30 years, I supported him then and I support him now...he passed away 3 years ago and he loved this nation til he died...GOD BLESS THE USA...
It be 1987 when I went home for good, but it still hurt the same today as it did then seeing those caskets draped with our flag. Angel Flight Crew have a hell of a job to do. Thank you everyone of you for bringing our fallen brother and sisters home.
I feel bad for those who wanted to serve but couldn't, but only a little resentment for those who could have served but did not. Serving was an honor and privilege they will never know or never understand.
I wanted nothing in this world but to serve in the Marines. I was all set but then they found out I had cluster migraines.... bam... no longer eligible to serve. It crushed me.
@@jacksprat9344 ya I trained 5-6 days a week with a recruiter for almost 2 years to serve. He told me not to say anything about my migraines cause I hadn't had 1 in a while. Somehow they found out right before I was to go to basic.
Thank you for this song. My next door neighbor friend who was more like a brother was killed while he was giving his all. Watching the video and listening to this song helps the pain knowing Eddie was escorted home on an Angel Flight with people who cared and knowing the Towers gave Eddie's flight, permission to land first. Nothing can take away the pain of his death but this song has helped my heart. Again, thank you!
My neighbor, Eddie that I wrote about being killed in Vietnam, well, his 99 year old sweet Mama just joined him in Heaven, April 25th, a day she’s been waiting for since his death. Once again she gets to wrap her arms around her son. I asked Jesus to send her the best angels, her husband and her 3 sons to escort her home to Heaven. I believe He did.. God Bless all those who served and are serving. Hugs and prayers to those who lost a loved one while serving our country.
Wish we knew when Angel Flights coming in or heroes laid to rest that we too could line the streets to show our respect & gratitude for their sacrifice as well as a show of love & support to their families for THEIR sacrifice. God bless
Angel flights are wonderful. Thankful for the person or persons who created them. Thankful for the DNA that made sure the service person made it home and gave families closures.
VERY heart touching. Thank you to all veterans and active military personnel of our great country. GOD bless you all. Thank you for your sacrifice. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Respect for those who served, are now serving, and who will serve in the future. This song is a fitting tribute to those who took an angel flight home and to those that escorted them home.
Watching this always brings me to tears, because there have been members of my family who served in the military. Thank goodness for the Angel Flight crews who have the honor of bringing our military personnel back home.
James Burton ... It is respect. Something many didn't have for us when we came back from Nam. I'm glad most people have it for my brothers and sisters returning home now. Thank you and God bless.
I'm on Facebook. And I do keep in contact with friends and family on messenger where it's not a public conversation, instead of comments on a Post. I even think it's inappropriate when my younger relatives tag me in something they posted 🤣 How hard is it to send that particular item directly to me? 😁
This song means so much to our family. My niece and her husband lost their eldest son in 2010 to an IED in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. May you forever eternally Rest In Peace Alex. 🙏🙏
The images are enough to bring the tears to my eyes, the words of the song are enough to roll them down my face.. Blessed are the crews that take on this sacred duty.
My Son was in the army I prayed every day for his safety that he would come home to his family. He did come home a strong and proud of his fellow soldiers.
I can only listen around Memorial Day. It keeps me grounded and makes me appreciate everything more. If not for sacrifice we aren’t the country we are.
My Great Uncle was killed in Vietnam, i now have his burial flag. Thank you to the man who brought him home. Thank you to all men and women who served. Know that we care, and we will cary your memory and deeds with us forever. Lest we forget.
When I listen to this and remember Joe Biden looking at his watch I am so sad....My husband has 2 purple hearts and a bronze star. I thank God he came back alive and mentally healthy. So much to be thankful for when you remembr so many did not. God Bless those families.
That was a disgrace,, he looked at his watch every 2 minutes,, that's disgusting, the man has no honor, even if he's incompetent, with dementia, and a touch of all timers You can still hold your head high with honor. Thank you for your post.👍🇲🇾
I took a Marine home back to Davenport IA back in 1993. The respect the flight crew and passengers showed when I got up and stepped off the plane to receive that Marine from the belly of the plane. You could hear a pindrop.
My Dad flew the dead and wounded out of Korea. He was a Kyushu Gypsy. All he ever wanted to do was fly. He fell off a wing and broke his back, but wouldn't let them fly him out. Hid it from the uppers and his men laced him up in a girdle every day, helping him dress and tying his boots
I took Brother Jose home 41yr ago. He was a Vietnam War Hero who reenlisted as a Pvt to come back to ANGLICO! The priest noted in his citation for the Silver Star! When the helicopter on board which he was a passenger was struck by Enemy Fire Cpl Hernandez unhesantly exposed himself to intense Enemy Fire as he remained open to administer first aid to Several Vietnamese Marines and assisted them to reach Cover! Semper Fi! I want to Thank the Soldiers from Fort Bliss for providing the Rifle Squad!!! There was me and the I & I staff. The Major stayed with me and the cemetery staff to the end!!!
On this Veteran's Day 2023, I'm remembering my brother's that took this flight. It's hard to get through it every year. I Love You Guys and always I will remember you all and tell your stories. Heros were They.
Thank you so much for this song. Makes me tear-up every time I listen to it. A crisp salute to all who have served our country, and a very special thanks to those who gave their all...
To the person that gave me the thumbs up, thank you! If you've been there you know. Thanks to ALL VETERANS AND EVERYONE THAT SUPPORTED THEM. They have made our country what it is. Remember, a Veteran signed a blank check for up to and including his/her life to give us the freedoms we have today. To all those brothers and sisters...Thanks for your service.🏅🎖
I was stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington and I do believe there was a little bit of a squirmish in Grenada back in 1980-1981 if my memory serves me right. I believe the 75th Ranger Battalion was sent for that exercise , correct me if I'm wrong BUT , I do have a pretty good memory SIR , THANK EVERYONE FOR YOUR SERVICE SOLDIERS !!!!
Thank God for your song Angel Flight my father was Air Force and my husband was Navy and this song brings tears to my eyes know when I hear it I think of all the men and women that don't make it back alive and my heart goes out to their families
First time I heard this song, brought huge tears to my eye's, because if you have ever sent a brother home from the battlefield in that flag drapped box, you will definitely understand why!!!!!
I thank God for each one that has and will serve in our Military and those that have given all. Thanks for this video . Makes things real. Thanks to each one that has flown the Angel Flight and a shout out to an US Air Force pilot that has done this. Alex Baker a big thanks for serving.
This song, their mission always makes me cry!! For all our brave troops serving to keep us safe, and free! All gave some, some gave all!! God's soldiers looking after us all... 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Angel Flight members for what you do. May God bless and protect you. Keep up the great job of bringing our heroes home from the proud daughter of a United States Marine
During my stay in Viet Nam 1968-1968. Was on flight line many nights when they would load the coffins. Brought tears then and after 45 years still the same. God Speed my brothers
Excellent recognition of our troops during such a time filled with deep pain. As a woman Vietnam Era Navy WAVE Veteran I proudly salute you.! I remember you! I’ve never forgotten you and I will always remember you. Thank you to all the men and women of the United States, Armed Forces. You are the backbone of this country.
This has to be one of the most RESPECTED way to Honor out brave soldiers...Old has I am I still tear up over this song and video....Does not for a Man to shed a Tear..That Man has a Heart cares about his fellow Man..Amen
It makes me so proud of our service. May all our fallen Heros know our hearts owe you a debt of gratitude you keeping us free and I'm humbled at the sacrifice you and your family gave so this stranger writting this could live in freedom. Thank you from the daughter of an ARMY Hero even at my old age I stand proudly at the sight our flag flying in our yard. God Bless America
My sincere thanks Radney. Great heartfelt song dedicated to those who serve around the world for the cause of FREEDOM. Bless you, the Angel Flight Aircrew who perform their duty with solemn dedication, and above all, those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Will never forget the 6am doorbell ring, and the 2 soldiers confirming our brothers death. Our Mother fainted. I was in denial for untold.years since Tommy was a survivalist. I still cry. He was under no fly rule, as rotating home next day...but flew to save friends.
As both a man and a vet this song holds more truth then words can say. In today's society a man is worthless except for what others can get from him once we have nothing left to give no one cares they move on
I have several family members that have served and/or are currently serving. I don't know how I made it 9 years and never heard this song, but I felt blessed hearing it tonight. The men and women who have and are currently serving will always have a special place in my heart. Going to go dry some tears now.......
81 years young. I proudly walked guard duty i Ft. Carson CO during JFK"s funeral.. The worda "we all give a little , but some give it all touch me deeply. Will always thank a service member for their service. God bless you all!!!❤🎉
I'll never forget the first time I heard this. Flight engineer Josh Snowden played it over ICS flying across country. I get tears every time I hear it, and think of his memory.
God bless all our soldiers for their services and sacfrices!! I got the awesome opportunity to help a young Sergeant from FortBragg last Christmas when he was enroute to his family for leave when he broke down. He came as a stranger but Left a great friend! My family and I pray for Sergeant D.H. every nite for his safety ! We love and respect our awesome soldiers in Marion Nc 🇱🇷🇱🇷!!!! This song pays great tributes to our fallen soldiers but is heart wrenching !!!
What a beautiful song. Thank you to those who have served and made it home a big thank you to the families of the fallen for their sacrifice to keep our country free. They will not be forgotten.
Hey, Vic mate, im a pommy/Aussie, and i care about the boys and girls that go and fight otger peoples war to uphold the peace and freedom our fatgers and firefatgers established. Thanjyou for your service.

My thoughts are these If you don't like America, go live in Iran. I'm sure that they will welcome you with open arms.
For those of us who are familiar with "Angel Flights" this is a special song with a very special meaning. Rest in Peace all those who have given all!

Words fail me.....It’s difficult...But we respect our fallen....We in the UK, had the same...We lined the streets when fallen hero’s retured.

Glad you said "had" as that amount of patriotism is now spat on as being racist ! Civilians have changed too much and have no respect anymore for service personnel.
Who dares wins.
Rip brothers
You did good 🌈
God Bless all Vets🙏🏼✌🇺🇸
Was on a flight ready to board. Saw a soldier standing with a folded flag. Coming from a military family, I knew there was a soldier on board. It hit me hard. Was traveling first class. Asked the Delta desk to switch our seats. They argued with me but I was adamant. I'll never forget that moment. Soldier kept telling me no, I didn't need to do it. I told him do it for my dad that I lost in Vietnam. Watched them take the casket off the plane. It broke me.
❤️💔❤️
All I can say 🫂
The most beautiful, yet heart wrenching song I've heard yet about our military heros.
Without a doubt!
I cry each time I hear this awesome song. We had an Angel flight in 1969. It breaks my heart everytime, and at same time brings me comfort for respect shown.
It’s not heart wrenching! It’s a warriors death, when you stand before the Lord and he says, “hard journeys end wee welcome home son. Enter for you’ve been through hell, now you’re home in glory”!
That shitty sand box isn't worth a single soldiers life.
Certainly not worth another single American life more. Too bad joe is fumbling this all up
A full and proper hand salute is hereby rendered. Thank you. God Bless.
Thank You for your service 💕🥰🇺🇸♥️
Hooah!
Thank you for your service Sir.
Thank=You= FOR ALL you've done to honor your country!! America Has a lot of HERO'S !!! God bless all our troops!!
FROM ROMANIA WITH ADMIRATION AND RESPECT FOR THE BRAVE AMERICANS SOLDIERS👏
Thank you.
Thank you! It means a lot
wow-----ty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am north of US - Canada. It affects us all. Wish there was less bloodshed. But evil needs to met face to face. Thank you! - Cheers !
From Canada. Nothing but respect sir. We are a military family. My father is being buried in two weeks. He was a flying officer. He left us with one arm but his heart remained. Godspeed Gentlemen.
My heart is with you, Susan. I come from a military family, myself. A great- uncle, was POW, Battan survivor. With sadness, and strength, I always thank those serving. A funny thing. The cast, writers, and crew of a silly, little show, called M*A*S*H, kind of put the bad things, in prospective, for me. I hope today, is better, and brighter for you.
@@robertschreiber8099 Thank you. Much better.
Susan,.
I'm sorry for your loss. My Father a WW2 Marine passed in 2019. He left me with so many great times and memories. He rarely spoke of his service until I wanted to join the Marines. He then opened up about it to me and reminded me that there's a life after that and to keep that in mind. I just thank God that such men lived to be honest. God Bless.
@@pointingdog7235 You are a wonderful legacy for your father. Thank you for your very kind words and for your service too. We are blessed aren't we?
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻for you and your family during this difficult time. I want to extend my deepest condolences to you.😢
My husband served in the Navy and work for Denver police for 30 years, I supported him then and I support him now...he passed away 3 years ago and he loved this nation til he died...GOD BLESS THE USA...
It be 1987 when I went home for good, but it still hurt the same today as it did then seeing those caskets draped with our flag. Angel Flight Crew have a hell of a job to do. Thank you everyone of you for bringing our fallen brother and sisters home.
this song gets me everytime i listen. it is simple but says so much. Radney does a beautiful job
I feel bad for those who wanted to serve but couldn't, but only a little resentment for those who could have served but did not. Serving was an honor and privilege they will never know or never understand.
I wanted nothing in this world but to serve in the Marines. I was all set but then they found out I had cluster migraines.... bam... no longer eligible to serve. It crushed me.
@@RichardL.1453 It was in your heart man. It was in your heart.
@@jacksprat9344 ya I trained 5-6 days a week with a recruiter for almost 2 years to serve. He told me not to say anything about my migraines cause I hadn't had 1 in a while. Somehow they found out right before I was to go to basic.
My deepest regret is that I could not serve. I would have gladly gave my life if it came to that.
True but it's not for all.
We go were we are sent
To serve for all
Thank you for this song. My next door neighbor friend who was more like a brother was killed while he was giving his all. Watching the video and listening to this song helps the pain knowing Eddie was escorted home on an Angel Flight with people who cared and knowing the Towers gave Eddie's flight, permission to land first. Nothing can take away the pain of his death but this song has helped my heart. Again, thank you!
FROM ROMANIA WITH ADMIRATION AND RESPECT FOR THE MESSAGE 👍
GOD BLESS AN PROTECT OUR HEROS ALL!!
Our brother had an Angel flight. Beautiful song. I usually cry. 1969, Vietnam. Rotating home next day. My big brother, 24 y.o.
It is never easy to lose someone u love, but to loose them in war is a whole different story.
My neighbor, Eddie that I wrote about being killed in Vietnam, well, his 99 year old sweet Mama just joined him in Heaven, April 25th, a day she’s been waiting for since his death. Once again she gets to wrap her arms around her son. I asked Jesus to send her the best angels, her husband and her 3 sons to escort her home to Heaven. I believe He did..
God Bless all those who served and are serving. Hugs and prayers to those who lost a loved one while serving our country.
Thank you Radney, that's a great song. I'm going to wipe the tears from my eyes and listen to you again.
This song still makes me cry every time I hear it.
You think? Remember Happy Memories! These Men and Women, did good for you x.
Me too. Someone in my family has been in WWII (dad & uncles), Korea (uncle) and Nam (husband Vietnam era & most of my generation in country)
I cry every time I listen to it.
me to nam 60 71
Wish we knew when Angel Flights coming in or heroes laid to rest that we too could line the streets to show our respect & gratitude for their sacrifice as well as a show of love & support to their families for THEIR sacrifice. God bless
Angel flights are wonderful. Thankful for the person or persons who created them. Thankful for the DNA that made sure the service person made it home and gave families closures.
VERY heart touching. Thank you to all veterans and active military personnel of our great country. GOD bless you all. Thank you for your sacrifice. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
💯🌷💯💦
I don't know what we're doing without you angel butt
Respect for those who served, are now serving, and who will serve in the future. This song is a fitting tribute to those who took an angel flight home and to those that escorted them home.
I always have tears in my eyes when I hear this song, always.
Miss the crews that took these flights with us, incredible United States Military members. God bless them and their families.
Watching this always brings me to tears, because there have been members of my family who served in the military. Thank goodness for the Angel Flight crews who have the honor of bringing our military personnel back home.
Listen no body knows me or never will but this is the utmost respect
James Burton ... It is respect. Something many didn't have for us when we came back from Nam. I'm glad most people have it for my brothers and sisters returning home now. Thank you and God bless.
Nobody knows me either, but I'm here if you need a old-fashioned pen pal.
Hugs from Montana.
I do
@@cindyhaun3805 just A simple person is all I ask for
I'm on Facebook. And I do keep in contact with friends and family on messenger where it's not a public conversation, instead of comments on a Post. I even think it's inappropriate when my younger relatives tag me in something they posted 🤣 How hard is it to send that particular item directly to me? 😁
This really hits the heart after hearing about the 13 Marines and sailors yesterday…
At least we brought them home. It's the least we could do.
All 24years old and Younger
Don’t forget about the other 2500 that went before! Least we forgot. Just because the “news” stops, we must remember them all who gave all!
Yes it does! God Bless our military 🙏 Never forget the fallen who gave their all🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
and soldier
This song means so much to our family. My niece and her husband lost their eldest son in 2010 to an IED in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. May you forever eternally Rest In Peace Alex. 🙏🙏
Rest in peace those who served and paid the ultimate price always in our prayers and never forgotten
Seeing a folded flag always gets to me still, having been on both ends of presenting and receiving.
The images are enough to bring the tears to my eyes, the words of the song are enough to roll them down my face.. Blessed are the crews that take on this sacred duty.
My Son was in the army I prayed every day for his safety that he would come home to his family. He did come home a strong and proud of his fellow soldiers.
I can only listen around Memorial Day. It keeps me grounded and makes me appreciate everything more. If not for sacrifice we aren’t the country we are.
My Great Uncle was killed in Vietnam, i now have his burial flag. Thank you to the man who brought him home. Thank you to all men and women who served. Know that we care, and we will cary your memory and deeds with us forever. Lest we forget.
When I listen to this and remember Joe Biden looking at his watch I am so sad....My husband has 2 purple hearts and a bronze star. I thank God he came back alive and mentally healthy. So much to be thankful for when you remembr so many did not. God Bless those families.
That was a disgrace,, he looked at his watch every 2 minutes,, that's disgusting, the man has no honor, even if he's incompetent, with dementia, and a touch of all timers
You can still hold your head high with honor. Thank you for your post.👍🇲🇾

Blame Traitor Trump!
@@scottliegel855 Blame Traitor Trump!
So sad; so beautiful! Full of honor and respect! God bless and protect the Angel Flights’ pilots.
To all of you in every branch of service past present and future. A heart felt thank you from the son of a USS IOWA vet
I took a Marine home back to Davenport IA back in 1993. The respect the flight crew and passengers showed when I got up and stepped off the plane to receive that Marine from the belly of the plane. You could hear a pindrop.
God bless the ones that bring our heros home to their families. God bless the ones that gave all. God bless the ones that have fought and will fight..
Love you...You have a special place in my heart.
AMEN thanks
I was nailed.... in 91 last in first out. as a Medic I knew what it meant. I thank the Pilots and the medical Crew I will never forget my flight.
My Dad flew the dead and wounded out of Korea. He was a Kyushu Gypsy.
All he ever wanted to do was fly.
He fell off a wing and broke his back, but wouldn't let them fly him out. Hid it from the uppers and his men laced him up in a girdle every day, helping him dress and tying his boots
Well said
God bless the men and women who have given their all. Thank you isn't enough to say. This song makes tears fall whenever I hear it.
I took Brother Jose home 41yr ago. He was a Vietnam War Hero who reenlisted as a Pvt to come back to ANGLICO! The priest noted in his citation for the Silver Star! When the helicopter on board which he was a passenger was struck by Enemy Fire Cpl Hernandez unhesantly exposed himself to intense Enemy Fire as he remained open to administer first aid to Several Vietnamese Marines and assisted them to reach Cover! Semper Fi! I want to Thank the Soldiers from Fort Bliss for providing the Rifle Squad!!! There was me and the I & I staff. The Major stayed with me and the cemetery staff to the end!!!
On this Veteran's Day 2023, I'm remembering my brother's that took this flight. It's hard to get through it every year.
I Love You Guys and always I will remember you all and tell your stories.
Heros were They.
Thank you so much for this song. Makes me tear-up every time I listen to it. A crisp salute to all who have served our country, and a very special thanks to those who gave their all...
Thank you
God bless all those who served and the Ones who payed the Ultimate Price serving our Country. They are not forgotten Amen.
Our congress and senate, president need to wake up and put more money and respect to our military servicemen, tears my ❤️ out
Thank You for this song. I was in Grenada 1983 served with 82nd AB 3/325 AIR and this song broke me down to tears. ALL THE WAY AIRBORNER!
To the person that gave me the thumbs up, thank you! If you've been there you know. Thanks to ALL VETERANS AND EVERYONE THAT SUPPORTED THEM. They have made our country what it is. Remember, a Veteran signed a blank check for up to and including his/her life to give us the freedoms we have today. To all those brothers and sisters...Thanks for your service.🏅🎖
All the way Brother. 82nd from 70-73.
Thank you brother airborne your combat engineer was really ready complete the mission

I was stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington and I do believe there was a little bit of a squirmish in Grenada back in 1980-1981 if my memory serves me right. I believe the 75th Ranger Battalion was sent for that exercise , correct me if I'm wrong BUT , I do have a pretty good memory SIR , THANK EVERYONE FOR YOUR SERVICE SOLDIERS !!!!

Thank you from a Navy veteran 1969 to 1973. Nam vet.
First time I heard this song, brought huge tears to my eye's, because if you have ever sent a brother home from the battlefield in that flag drapped box, you will definitely understand why!!!!!
Can only love you been there too many times have to love my baby she has been there for me
I thank God for each one that has and will serve in our Military and those that have given all. Thanks for this video . Makes things real. Thanks to each one that has flown the Angel Flight and a shout out to an US Air Force pilot that has done this. Alex Baker a big thanks for serving.
I wonder how many souls have been brought home on the angel flight❤and yes they are souls returning home
This song, their mission always makes me cry!! For all our brave troops serving to keep us safe, and free! All gave some, some gave all!! God's soldiers looking after us all... 🙏🙏🙏

No! Thank you! HEART FROM ENGLAND!
I thank you to all for the blanket of freedom we sleep under. God bless you all
During my stay in Viet Nam 1968-1968. Was on flight line many nights when they would load the coffins. Brought tears then and after 45 years still the same. God Speed my brothers
Thank you Sir for your service ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your service! 💚🇺🇲💚🇺🇲💚🇺🇲
I escore two Navy men home from Vietnam, this song hits me hard every time. I will never forget for what they gave. God Bless them.
Too many flights take the Angel Flight like my brother did back in Aug 12 03 and he is never forgotten.
I'm so sorry. I still cry after our brothers Angel Flight in 1969. May God give you peace.
Mad respect. In 23 years I’ve lost 6 friends and have presented our flag to their families, it doesn’t get any worse than that.
Excellent recognition of our troops during such a time filled with deep pain. As a woman Vietnam Era Navy WAVE Veteran I proudly salute you.! I remember you! I’ve never forgotten you and I will always remember you. Thank you to all the men and women of the United States, Armed Forces. You are the backbone of this country.
You brave women who served in vietnam were a special breed. Heroes all. Thank you.
A welcome salute to you from a Vietnam Vet USMC. Thank you for a job well done where ever you have to go to get one of HEROES TO BRING THEM HOME.
This has to be one of the most RESPECTED way to Honor out brave soldiers...Old has I am I still tear up over this song and video....Does not for a Man to shed a Tear..That Man has a Heart cares about his fellow Man..Amen
Memorial Day is upon us.
Honor those who gave it all.
I saw this man in concert at the Steifel Theatre in Salina, KS, USA. This song has stuck with me ever since.
It makes me so proud of our service. May all our fallen Heros know our hearts owe you a debt of gratitude you keeping us free and I'm humbled at the sacrifice you and your family gave so this stranger writting this could live in freedom. Thank you from the daughter of an ARMY Hero even at my old age I stand proudly at the sight our flag flying in our yard. God Bless America
My sincere thanks Radney. Great heartfelt song dedicated to those who serve around the world for the cause of FREEDOM. Bless you, the Angel Flight Aircrew who perform their duty with solemn dedication, and above all, those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Will never forget the 6am doorbell ring, and the 2 soldiers confirming our brothers death. Our Mother fainted. I was in denial for untold.years since Tommy was a survivalist. I still cry. He was under no fly rule, as rotating home next day...but flew to save friends.
What a beautiful tribute..God bless all our military men and women!
As both a man and a vet this song holds more truth then words can say. In today's society a man is worthless except for what others can get from him once we have nothing left to give no one cares they move on
I have several family members that have served and/or are currently serving. I don't know how I made it 9 years and never heard this song, but I felt blessed hearing it tonight. The men and women who have and are currently serving will always have a special place in my heart. Going to go dry some tears now.......
81 years young. I proudly walked guard duty i Ft. Carson CO during JFK"s funeral.. The worda "we all give a little , but some give it all touch me deeply.
Will always thank a service member for their service.
God bless you all!!!❤🎉
Great tribute to those hero’s. Thank you for such a beautiful song.
Words fail me, with tears in my eyes I salute you.
Too Barry Martin. B-52 retired vet.Air force..thank you my friend....And God Bless
I'll never forget the first time I heard this. Flight engineer Josh Snowden played it over ICS flying across country. I get tears every time I hear it, and think of his memory.
GOD BLESS & Thank you soldiers for your service. This is beautiful.
It's hits my ❤ every single time I play it....THAT'S OFTEN!!
💜❤💜❤💜❤
That one is .... Well it gets me every time. God Bless & thank you for your service!!!

My family and I pray for Sergeant D.H. every nite for his safety ! We love and respect our awesome soldiers in Marion Nc 🇱🇷🇱🇷!!!! This song pays great tributes to our fallen soldiers but is heart wrenching !!!
