"You saved my life brother"......gets me everytime.
True 🥺
Every....single....time.... For me it's because my guy who saved my life died doing so. Just rips me apart every time.
I really wish they would have added subtitles to that bit so more people understand that this man was the Unit leader who saved and took a bullet for the man who wiped his tears in the end. It would have been so much more powerful for people who just don’t see the obvious.
Every single time 😭😭😭

Stacey, please don’t be sorry for sharing your emotions. Too many would rather walk by, ignore, or pretend everything is okay. Being willing to share this and be vulnerable with an emotion that so many of us share is welcomed, loved, and appreciated. Our government is failing the veterans, and the public in general is as well. It’s gutting and heartbreaking. Thank you. ❤
100%
sick to my stomach to see this country doing this. we have 535 members in congress and only 82 are vets... no wonder nothing gets done
@@zombiespongebob6903 Yup. Seems like the useless generation is winning... Too bad The Greatest Generation was great at everything but parenting.
@@jamescurfman3284 dam... you are absolutely correct.
@@zombiespongebob6903 Yeah. Sometimes I hate being right.
When the black soldier help his friend on the street, you can easily read on his lips "you save my life Brother" gave me goosebumps each times
Makes me cry every time.
Yeah same here, even know you can't hear what he is saying damn it you can feel it in your soul.
The fact that there is 2 minutes of organizations to help Vets amplifies how much our government has failed on this issue!
If I may add this issue requires everyone to support in any way they can, not just the government and organisations listed.
Well said
If anyone ever wonders what our government honestly thinks of veteran's, look up who the Bonus Marcher's were ...
Our government uses us and then throws us aside. They give more to illegals than veterans who got messed up in their wars.
@TheDirge69 I don't agree. When our government spends over a trillion dollars per year on defense, they have the ability to wipe out this problem. But many of our politicians would rather play political games and they don't care who gets hurt in the process. Just look at how long it took for the burn pit victims just to get medical treatment. And even when it finally passed, some of the politicians had to be shamed into passing the bill.
Stacey, my heartfelt thank you for taking this on. From a disabled vet. From the scene of the arrest to the end makes me bawl. It's all about the bond and that bond extends back to previous and future soldiers, sailors, marines and airwomen and men
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service. I hope you are doing well.
Well said Brother , fellow disabled vet here and I have the same reaction . Thank-you for your service and sacrifice in perseverance of freedom.
As a retired disabled veteran, i would like to extend my gratitude to not only those who have served, but to those spouses that have served while being home and away form their loved ones and never got to see them again. When you are married you serve also, and not enough attention is brought to them. Thank you to my wife.
Military brats give up a lot for their parents to serve too. Getting moved from station to station and having to start over with new friends and schools isn't fun growing up either. It affects the whole family not just the spouse. Throw in some PTSD and it can be a rough childhood
As a disabled veteran unfortunately some wives are amazing but in my case she wasn't . It was free for all when I was deployed
Thank you for your service, from the bottom of my heart!
I have always said that it was easier to deploy than it would be to have a child or spouse deploy while I sat at home and wondered. My wife played mom and dad more times than I care to think about. Having people at home that are willing to do what is needed is something that doesn’t get enough credit. Thank you for bringing this up.

I'm a 67 year old US army veteran i served in Vietnam for 28 months it was an honor to do so. I want to Thank you very much for doing a reaction to this song everytime i listen to this it realy hits home,Don't be sorry for getting emotional i wish more people were like you.We did what we sign up for to come home and be treated like dirt and scum spit at cussed at it wasn't us who did anything wrong to be treated so badly. Once again Thank you Thank you
As an Australian who was born during the war, but saw the aftermath our vets went through, thnx for your service, mate. You might appreciate this tribute that was written here in the 80’s. It hits hard and served as a big wake-up call for our nation on how we treated veterans.

@@DarkSta77 i may have replied to this post but wanted to make sure thank you for posting the video it brought back alot of memories of what realy went on over there once again thank you very much
I'm not a vet, I've never risked my life in that capacity, but I always get emotional whenever I watch the music video or hear the song. Kudos to our current and former military for keeping the rest of us safe.
I am a 74 year old vet. I have seen this video probably12 times. Still cry watching it.
Thank you for your service... As i said in my comment : ANYone who watches this without a wet eye is not human..
Me too brother
This song always brings the memories of my father who did three volunteer tours in Vietnam. The stories he told of his return home and seeing so many condemning him and actually spitting on him! He past in a nursing home from wounds he carried at age 33. Remember All Gave Some..Some Gave All. 🇺🇲
This song never fails to hit home and the music does a fantastic job of grabbing your heart. Ivan Moody is an excellent and powerful singer indeed. I love the way he can quite literally sing a roar that expresses pain, anger and anguish. What I always take from this song is the reality that our soldiers are citizens who feel a calling to serve their country only for our greedy politicians to misuse that calling to duty. Our soldiers believe they are meant to protect their home country, but are sent into unjust conflicts. They are shoved through wars that we don't belong in or should have started, fighting and dying for causes We The People did not vote for. They come home broken in body and spirit or in a box, having lost brothers and seen carnage and inflicted death and pain upon others and in the end they don't feel like heros because there was never a truly justified cause to believe in to begin with. They come home asking themselves "what the hell did we go do all that for?" and the only answer they can find is that our politicians told them to. My dad is a 75yo Vietnam War veteran and he still talks and fights in his sleep, sometimes to the point that I wake him so he can start over in his rest. Our soldiers' duty and sacrifices are abused and misused for the greed of career politicians who have lost touch with the people and the righteousness of their office duties. A bit of a rant here I know, but this song always reminds me that our soldiers come back feeling like they were "on the wrong side of heaven and the righteous side of hell" because we have been going to wars without a passion for a justified cause. Men do terrible things in war and if they cannot feel that they had a cause to believe in to attach the violence to and justify it then it will destroy them internally. A man's conscience is a powerful thing. It will lead him to do amazing things or tear him apart for doing terrible things.
Thank you for your perspective. I'm a VFW, 19D US Army 1985-1991.
My son is serving, 18X SOG he has 6 years so far.
I have dozens of family members who served as well.
I lost veteran friends in combat and after to drugs and suicide.
This song always hits me hard every time I hear it.
Thanks you again for sharing.
Love!❤️
To all you veterans out there, thank you for your service. I hope you are all having a good day and understand that no matter how fortunate you are, your service and sacrifice is very much appreciated.
You don't have to apologize, you didn't know the song beforehand. And you don't have to apologize at all for your reaction, it hit me just as hard the first time I heard it as a former soldier deployed for the UN. It reminded me of all the pain and anger I took home with me ❤️
Stacey as a veteran myself i will tell you unfortunately those numbers have nearly doubled in the last few yrs . I wish to thank you for taking the time to do this dedication in honor of the fallen and living veterans it means more to us then you know young lady. That was truly a heartfelt reaction and so many either don't realize the direness of the situation or just plain don't care. ALL GAVE SOME SOME GAVE ALL!! May you rest in peace brothers and sisters!!
I have a lot of veterans in my family and when I saw this for the first time my son was in the Marine Corps, struggling with some stuff and it was right when all of the events unfolded in Kabul. I lost so much weight from stress and worrying. Hadn't seen him in almost 2yrs at that point but I knew they were being briefed and on stand by for deployment. I cried for months praying I would never have the military show up at my door with horrifying news. Please don't apologize for getting emotional. We can do so much better for our veterans and I love and respect this band for bringing attention to these issues and their long term support of our service men and women. God bless you honey and all of our active and non active duty military. 🙏
I am a Navy veteran and every time I watch this video I cry. My time in was nothing like what the soldiers and marines on the ground went through. I wish I could do it again. We need people today to understand what their freedom has cost.
I was a soldier too, and I understand. Another emotional song on the topic is "Afraid to shoot stranger" by Iron Maiden
Thank you for your service as we salute to the Fallen on this fateful day, Memorial Day.
I have another one from 5FDP. Their cover of Offspring's Gone Away.....I believe that Stacey will need tissues for this emotional song.
My father's uncle served in WWII. My father's brother-in-law served in Korean War. My father did served in military, but he had to be discharged from service because his father (my grandfather) gotten sick. My father came back home to help his mom (my grandmother) to support his siblings. My mom's brother (my uncle) served in Navy 12 years active and 8 reserves. I wanted to join in Navy back in the mid 80's, but my feet disqualified my entrance. But I did work for government or military in electronics contractors.
@@MrTech226 I'm not American, I'm Italian, and I've been in Kosovo
@@user-xq7mh5kg6bvvf3 ok, still thanks for your service
Pink Floyd's "The Gunner's Dream" is a song that I think of when it comes to remembrance, or "Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits. All these songs bring tears, but they're all important.
"And you'll no longer burn to be brothers in arms..."
Military veteran here. Never forget your emotions, we are all human. It took me a while to figure that out. I’ve woken up on the curb before and survived more than cold days. Now I am on my feet and fighting for those who were by my side. I am fighting for those who fight for US. Please bring awareness today, a veteran and war hero is out there figuring out if he is human and where did it all go wrong and where he might sleep tonight. Be safe everyone!
As a 47yo male with 2 sons, I have many family members how have and are still serving. I have this song on my TH-cam playlist and every time I see this video I cry. Watching people to react to it is one of my favorite things, because people in service member families know but most others don't. THANK YOU to all our great service members male and female, current or veteran. You are all true patriots and I love you all for giving your service to our country.
I am a 50 year old 90% disabled USMC veteran and I always cry like a baby during this song. To all my brother and sister veterans, if you are having troubles, there is always somebody out there that will listen. I know it is tough to ask for help but we were all taught while in that it takes teamwork make things happen. Somebody will always listen to you. If you can not find anybody, I will listen. Reply and I will reach out to you. Now saying all that, it does not go for just follow veterans, if anybody needs help, you can reach out to those same institutions at the end of the video and they will put you in contact with the correct people.
I’m a 40yr old infantryman from 2004-2010 - it took me 5 years to get 50% disability (paid 40)…. What’s your secret
@@JacobMoore-tk7wt Thank you for your service, brother. My medical history was well documented while in service. I was also told that I was too broken to re-up but not broken enough to kick out on a medical discharge. I could not even go in to the reserves. There was an incident in boot camp that fractured my ankles. I was dropped from training and put in to MRP for a month and then PCP. So, I got to spend an extra month and a half in boot camp. I was also sent in to the gas chamber 6 times in one day and the last two times without my gas mask. That tore up my sinus which I had to have surgery on a couple of years later but while I was still in service. There was another incident where I fell about 15 feet flat on my back and which I had to be extracted. Now I have my spine fused in two places. There are a couple of other things that I have but this is long enough. No pitty party, though I would not pay $0.25 to do it all over again but I would not take a millions dollars for the experiences.
Semper Fi..I'm 53 with only 10% disabled Marine
Thank you for celebrating memorial day, most people misunderstand the day. Memorial day is to remember the military members who fought and died in action. they paid the price of freedom and some didn't come home. we remember therm. veterans day is the day to thank a veteran for their service. they put in time in the military and served and came home. some vets have seen some stuff that they carry with them for the rest of their life. armed forces day, is a day to thank the active duty that is serving now.
Thank you for your videos and keep up the trip across the music path.
Motorhead 1916 is also a great war song that gives a look at young adults in a time of war.
I would like to add content to my statement with my channel.....Deadheadz Coin. I am a marine...retired Army. I did a few tours over seas and lost a few good friends. I am now a disabled combat vet and love music.....it is my stress release. SEMPER FI
As a vet and first responder, simply seeing you react that way it in feels, simply because it was a reflection of my own reaction.
Great reaction. As a US Army veteran, this song and video puts a lump in my throat. I have much respect for FFDP and their efforts.
Retired Danish vet here. I took two months leave after my second dep., which ultimately proved to be permanent. I was only 32 when realized I had nothing left in me. Could not go back. The uniform just didn't suit me anymore and I would have been a liability had I portrayed to be fully functional. I'm remain ashamed even to this day.
Worked on and off for a couple of years whilst attempting to come to terms with everything, applying the happy face all the while I was struggling within. Recently got my pension, which basically secures me for life. I'll never be rich, but at least I'm alive at 46. When you've seen so much misery, so much death, all happiness requires is to allow your feet the freedom to carry you through morning-dewed grass. Sip coffee and watch kids go to school.
Sorry if I strayed and/or misspelled. Sorry, too, for sharing my story. I know it means nothing compared to the fucking whole of what others have suffered.
"You saved my life, brother"
I appreciate your emotional reflection on the song and the information presented from the video. As a Veteran who served in combat I ask that you reflect on this as well: Every military member; active, retired, disabled, etc. has a different experience and are affected differently. That goes for anyone that takes part in any organization. we all have our own stories. Some have stronger bonds than others. The stronger bonds I had were lost in combat. Therefore, I tend to be a little bitter about what I did and the way Society treats us, I often prefer not to mention my service because there's a severe lack of understanding and genuine appreciation. At the same time it's not the average Americans fault as they have not seen what I've seen, nor had to do what I did, and to be humble many more service members did so much more than myself, my contributions were very little, even in the short time I was overseas. I am grateful for the small pension I receive for my disability as I know so many more fellow veterans unjustly receive far less help than what I have been given. As it goes for so many of us, My wife will never know what I went through, nor will my children. It is difficult to talk about not so much for myself but more for the sake of not wanting them to know the pain and loss. I prefer them to see me as a loving father and husband that is here for them every day rather than a survivor that is lucky to be alive. There is more to me than the 8 years I served. That was only a part of my life, I want you to know the rest of it. I wish everyone the best. Thank you.
Thanks for this and there's no shame in crying - I do it every time I watch this video! 22 year Army veteran diagnosed with PTSD that have caused anxiety and depressive disorders but I refuse to give into them! One day at a time ... Happy Memorial Day to my brothers and sister that have and continue to serve!
Damn. I'm a veteran. I've seen this video several times, but watching you experience it was definitely an emotional release for me I didn't expect.
My old man 10 years in the US Army and 2 tours in Vietnam. He had some great stories. This one is for you pop. RIP
Thank you for watching this video. The message needs to be heard. I'm a Marine combat vet, I lost 2 brothers while I was in and 3 more to their own hands since we got back. 22 a day haunts me. Semper Fi to all my warriors out there, until we lift a horn in Valhalla. NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC
Speaking as a disabled veteran, a Navy Fleet Marine Force Corpsman (think medic, better trained) I'm 58 now. You have no reason whatsoever to apologize for tears. I shed them every time. The only thing I'll ask you to remember, this video is more than 10 years out old. The numbers shown have not improved. Your reaction to this video is spot on. The last line spoken by the characters "YOU KNOW ME! YOU SAVED MY LIFE BROTHER!" Hits me hard every single time. The bond you spoke of is very real. My best friend we met at our first duty station. We have been closer than Brothers for 40 years now.
Yeah, that's the part that always gets me, too.
You don't know me for mad and brother
But me and my family thank you for keeping us safe
I just don't understand why this government doesn't do more for Veterans I just don't get it
@@bill9605 None of us get it.
@bill9605 because the vets are useless to them. They only "care" about actively serving to do what they want. Then once out, that same govt tries their damndest not to take care of the people they fucked up both physically/ or mentally.
As a Marine I want to thank you in particular for your service. You corpsmen kept us going.
Thank you Stacey from a Vet....If you don't get emotional, than you don't have a heart!
100% agreed!
I cry every time I watch this video because, while I wasn’t allowed to join the military due to a knee injury as a kid, I come from a military family and currently have a son in the Army. Thanks for doing this Stacey 🤘🏻🔥💥🙏🏻💯🇺🇸
Thank you for your family's service and hope your son stays safe in his service

Five finger death punch -coming down (warning: this song music video addresses s u i c i d e...) I myself dealt with a s u i c i d a l fantasy as a child....age 9 or 10....
Also, I get emotional when watching "Jenny" by Nothing More because of my mom, and to some degree me....
07:35 don´t apologise for shedding tears, I´m bawling to rewatching this. Born in 1977, joined in 2001, served overseas 2007-2011, working desk duty since, busted ankle, knee, shoulder, back messed up at lower back, between shoulder blades and upper neck, yet I´m one of the lucky ones, got home, have a job and just medicate myself with alcohol, coffee and cigarettes, mind is messed up and sleep is nightmarishly limited to 2--3 hrs at a time yet must be achieved to keep the voices away, hence the copious amounts of alcohol to fall asleep. I still have a home, I´m one of the lucky ones.
Thank you for your sacrifice!
My dad is a 20 year Canadian veteran with ptsd. This song and their cover of Gone Away always gets to me and I break down because of the daily struggle it is for veterans when they return and for their families.
Thank you for spreading this. I post this twice a year on my Facebook page. Today is one of those days. We must never forget the ultimate sacrifice, but we also must remember all who are still with us that are hurting.
Stacey, I’m a subscriber to your channel and I enjoy your reactions. I’m a veteran and this video always hits me hard. I’ve been fortunate to be taken care of properly as far as my veteran status goes, but way too many of my brothers and sisters haven’t. I really want to thank you for your kind words, and for spreading the message ❤️🇺🇸
Thank you for helping push this message to more people Stacy. I've personally lost 3 of my battle buddies to suicide. Letting more vets know there is help and hope is crucial. ❤🤙
I spent 30 plus year's in the British Military and I do not regret a day I served, from Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. I lost more friends than I would have liked but they will never be forgotten as they are part of a brotherhood that never dies. I still work in the Security Industry and will always be a part of Support our Paras and Help the Hero's charities James Blunt song No bravery is a video that I feel brings you closer because you see what actually happens.
"House's burnt beyond repair, the smell of death is in the air, a woman weeping in despair say's he has been here, tracer lighting up the sky, it's another family's turn to die, a child afraid to even cry out say's he has been there"
@GrahamDay-ec9de As someone from the UK (England to be more precise), I thank you for your service, for defending my homeland, and for keeping us all safe. Sadly, it is a thankless job. It makes my blood boil when our so-called government gives all these illegal migrants, who are invading our southern border, money and 5-star hotels. The worst part? They are all military-aged men. Where are the women and the children? If they are fleeing war-torn countries, where are the women and children? It makes me sick how our own government treat our current servers and veterans, and they wonder why no one wants to join and why everyone is leaving the armed forces. Not to mention the current state of our military.
I am an honorably discharged veteran who has served two deployments. I was homeless for almost a year.
Now that I
am in a better place, my main focus is to help my brother and sister veterans who are in situations now that I once was.
Thank you for sharing this video❤
Thank your your service sir! I’m happy to hear you’re in a better place, keep up the good work.
@cedriklafleur6711 Thank you😉
@@cedriklafleur6711 Thank you 😉
You know, Stacey, when you have a bond with another person that is born in life, when you entrust your life in the hands, efficiency and intelligence of another person, there is probably no greater closeness, and perhaps even love, from one person to another. They often fight for each other, they want to protect themselves and they don't care about politics or other aspects
As a veteran, this video destroys me every time and makes me more angry at how other vets can't receive the help that's needed.
Ya especially when the VA. Is the only place on the planet. That 50% and 50% doesn't equal 100% . So stressful to get help. Please all of you keep fighting to get the help you need. Don't give up!!!
I feel the same way. Thank you to everyone who served In the military for everything. I salute yous
I don't get why veterans in the US don't get any help. I am a veteran from the netherlands dealing with mental issues, anxiety, nightmares panic attacks.... but, i got really great help and training to cope with it. Been trough hell with what i have done, the lives lost. Damn. Finally shellshock (ptsd) is recognised here
We just have too many and not enough resources.
Thank you from a disabled veterans wife.
Five Finger Death Punch is an amazing band that has even gone over to the bases in the Middle East to be a part of the USO tours. They're all true patriots through and through. If you want to see what the band looks like on stage, you ought to scope out "Wash It All Away". If you want to see another soul-crushing song about veterans, look no further than "Gone Away". If you want to see the depiction of Ivan Moody's (lead singer) near death experience (he was dead for a three minutes) you can scope out "The Tragic Truth". If you just want to see what one of their videos looks like that isn't too heavy, "Darkness Settles In" is a good one. Personally, my favorite song of theirs, as a Veteran, is "Got Your Six".
Never apologize for feeling strongly. This isn't an easy reaction. You handled it beautifully. Thank you, and thanks to everyone who serves and has served. Rest In Peace to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us. ❤🙏🏻
Respect to her and family good to get it out there 🙏
Your reaction was genuine and honest! I loved watching you and how you were feeling! This is one of my most favorite groups and song.
Dont apologize for showing your emotions. It shows us veterans that people truly care. And i say this to you as a number in that statistic. In my case ive stashed my traumatic experinces away for too long and they have finally caught up with me. I am a homeless vet but luckily i have a place that helps vets and am currently going to meetings to try to overcome my experiences.
I want to sincerely thank you for caring and helping to bring light to this. Thank You

Five Finger Death Punch - Gone Away
Just a few songs that are my suggestions to react to.
No apologies needed, Its a powerful song and the impact of the video & facts mixed in is almost overwhelming.... ANYone who watches this without a wet eye is not human... 5FDP is a strong supporter and all of their songs show it. My Uncle (mom's brother) was in Vietnam & never made it back, My Father who i lost when i was 18 was a M.P. in the Army, My Uncle (His brother - still with us) was a former aircraft mechanic in the Army.
First time I watched you and thank you for being human. I am a son of a fallen soldier after coming home. So this song hits really hard
In Germany, too, this is a problem that is only slowly gaining attention.
Outwardly, we are all doing well, but I have some comrades who I know are still suffering internally 25 years later and have never received any real help from anyone except their fellow veterans.
Our government and our citizens are finally starting to support and protect veterans and, above all, their families.
I've seen the video many times and gets me every time...that is essentially the best thing about music for me...and especially relevant on Memorial Day
First time watching your reactions, great song to pick for the occasion and just a great song in general! Some other Five Finger Death Punch songs that I would recommend would be Gone Away, Brighter Side of Grey, Far From Home, Coming Down, Remember Everything, A Little Bit Off, etc. The band has always been a strong advocate for the military and for veteran support and mental health awareness. Plus good rock and metal music! ;)
I never know what to say when someone says thank you for your service. I end up saying Thank you back. Yw feels weird. The lyrics hit me every time. Your reaction was great!
FFDP did such an amazing job with this music video. So many issues come from conflict and the PTSD and other after effects take way to many of these selfless awesome people.
We all need to be thankful for their sacrifice.
A fantastic song, and an important message. They covered The Offspring's "Gone Away" in the light of military service as well. Worth checking out
Thank you for showing the other side of heaven ... for some of us the battle rages ... please share far and wide, for some of us cannot deal with what we had to do. thanks again ❣

This song always gets me. Always I'm a disabled vet and it really relates.
USAF Vet here. Touching display of your heart. It helps to know people care and that you are using this to reach out for Veterans.
Salute to our brothers ad sister all around the world whwo have given there all for their country just to be abandoned like this...the end if the video always get me in tears as well
Five Finger Death Punch has a special bond with soldiers. Because of it, even soldiers who are not metal fans are absolute die-hard 5FDP fanatics.
Check out their version of Gone Away, as well.
FFDP play this song last sunday in Munich and I had tears in my eyes. The band plays as an opening act for METALLICA
This is an emotional one for all, i believe we all well up and drop a few tears watching the reactions for this video... FFDP is huge in supporting our military. I saw them 2x last year with Metallica & Megadeth, this song will always be played. I would like you to watch another song by Billy Joel his song Goodnight Saigon was based on Vietnam & our soldiers and it is beyond powerful. Please put it up for a reaction when you have time, thank you
I will be honest, You looked cold while I was tearing. Then I saw that first tear drop an realized you are human. Thank you for this. Today it seems more woman are trying to hide emotion while more men are letting it out. Trust me, Holding in 40 years of pain will eat your soul and the release can be catastrophic.
Thank you for your reaction. These numbers are from when i was in. They have gotten exponentially bigger. Disabled veteran. Tacp 2002-2009 bless you
Also your reactions to the video show that you are a good person and have heart. Thank you again for doing this video.
This song is an emotional punch in the gut. Our Veterans deserve so much more. This message needs to be blasted from the rooftops. Thank you Veterans for your service 💙🇺🇸
You do not have to apologize for crying at all. Not being afraid to show true emotion when something effects you takes alot of courage, so big thumbs up for that. I believe this problem is not just in the u.s.a. I think it is the result of people not being re-introduced to normal civilian society, as well as not having anywhere to turn for help except those whove been there in the conflicts thus can relate. I guess those of us who were soldiers as kids have it a bit easier because of the fact we got desensitized to it and also were forced to live with it there after in life. I was 9 when the serbs crossed into Croatia and thus fought against them since my family lived along the broder region of Kutjevo. I was too skinny, and weak to handle the kick back of the fire arms so they had me planting mines or feeding the bullets. That was the first time i experienced people dying around me who I knew, and friends who were my age also. Life went on as time does not ever stop, My mother married a scotsman after that, and thus i was introduced to a whole new world of secterian division in the city of Glasgow, and since he had family in Belfast as well as in Armagh I got see as well as participate in that also ( lobbing petrol bombs over the peace line during the nights while marchin season was on, as well as the violence in and around the old firm darbys every year in glasgow) More people I knew and some friends there died due to that, same old story. At 17 I wanted out and i went and joined the Legion E'trangere in paris france (at fort de nogent) I was selected by the 13 DBLE demi-brigade and based in Djibouti for 4 years and done the whole "safari" as some would call it. After i got out of that i went to north america, canada first, and then the usa. In 2009 christmas i was in New York city living out the shelter system. I will never forget Madison Square Gardens has a Christmas dinner for the homless and the poor for free, and it was jam packed. I was seated with a few veterans, some from desert storm and others from the iraq war, and one fresh out of afghanistan. It was one of the best conversations Ive ever had and have never forgot it. Sadly they were all on the verge of homelessness and the VA was proving a real tough nut to crack for them, and they wern't getting much help either from any of the other places they tried. I kept in contact with one of them over the years who told me if anything good was happening, but sadly two of them suicided themselves. Sometimes it becomes quite the burden, not matter if in the u.s. or abroad, sadly there is not much kindness, or civility left in this world today, hopefully that changes some day. Thank you for learning about this, as well as for bringing awareness to others too from your channel, and I also appreciate that you enjoy learning the history about happenings and events youve never heard of before, like white friday.
So many organizations but about 85% of them will actually help us Veterans.
Their cover of Gone Away does a good job of highlighting survivors guilt.
Perfect song for today, thank you so much, love your channel ❤
A few opening chords of a song and I'm right back in the sandbox, I can even taste the moon dust
War is Hell. Nobody deserves to go to war, for the repercussions are a certain kind of life sentence in itself. I hope one day the world can come to its senses. Until that day I salute the men and women who sacrifice an unreasonable amount of themselves for the rest of us. Oftentimes sacrifice everything.
This video is powerful. As a veteran that almost became a part of the 22 per day, thank you for sharing your reaction and this video. No apologies needed for your genuine reaction and emotions.
We send billions of dollars overseas yet dont do whats needed for our vets. One comment from a Vietnam vet...they took a boat back to the states when they were done. It gave them time to talk to other vets about their experiences, w/ people who understood. But today they just fly home and dont get thos sonversations.
Suggestion for a reaction..The Warning...three sisters from Mexico.
Thank you for this one and for being honest with your emotions, its ok to cry. Its good to be authentic.
As a old divorced fourth generation vet, with TBI and PTSD, existing under a VA program for homeless vets. Yeah this really hits home for me and has sense it came out and I don't see that or this changing before my last breath. I pray it does. Living life in this world, it is what it is.
I did my time. 9/11 happened 30 days after I got to my first command. I've definitely had my issues, some still exist. But I've worked hard to get to a better place and still working. Maybe some of the civilians don't agree with what they have to do while active duty. But we must understand, they are doing what they are told and asked of them. And they do it for their country! God bless all veterans!!! Thank you
Thank you for your service, sir! I hope you are having a good day today. I salute you.
One of the reasons I like 5 Flavored Fruit Punch. they raise awareness for a lot of people who cant. Respect.
Its ok to let it be aware. We didnt have to get it Just absorb it.
yeah man freakin jacoby with his puppy eyes at the end...
Thank you. For us vets. It seems as if we are not remembered. Thank you
In our next war either Civil or Foreign I’m blasting this song again but in my AirPods all the way to the line! 💪🏻 🇺🇸 🫡
Please don't ever be sorry for showing your emotions. I've had a lot of my family members in the military as well and one of ny best friends. Sadly that friend died due to covid and a cousin of my was killed by a drunk driver and an uncle was k.i.a. in Vietnam. So i said all this to say that this song hits home for me. Ohh and you just gained a new sub.
Check out I Was Only 19 by Redgum. Australian band, lead singer was dating a lady who’s brother was sent to Vietnam. He wanted to tell his story in a song & that is the story. They donated 100% of profits from the song to the veterans! A band called The Herd did a rap version that show how vets were treated like garbage when they got home!
Sadly it’s not just the US. A Canadian woman who was paralyzed in the military but became a para-athlete was working to get a lift installed in her home to give her access. They told her they didn’t know if it could be done but they offered her something called MAID or medical assistance in dying! Yes they offered her help ending her life rather than a way to make it better!
25 years in the Marines. This is an amazing video
The facts shown in this video are old statistics. The numbers are getting better. Some veterans will not take help or ask for it. Some vets think asking for help is a weakness. There are so many programs nowadays that can help. Asking for help does not make you weak. It makes you brave and smart enough to know that you can't do this alone. Go to your local VA and get help...it is there waiting. Not only am I a disabled veteran I am a VA employee. The VA saved my life.
And from all of us, thank you!
Same band...Gone Away...also very powerfull and beautiful.
I have lost friends, troops, and former commanders to suicide. So many of us vets/active duty/reservists were told its a sign of weakness to ask for help. So we never actually sought help and succumb to the demons inside. Thanks for sharing this, it may help save a life!
Jacoby pointing to his eyes is military for look at me. Then he says "You know me, you saved my life brother"
Thank you. This song always gets me as i've lost too many friends to the 22 a day.
I also recommend their music videos "Remember Everything" and "Gone Away".
As a veteran who's getting up there in years, I've seen and been through quite a bit. From the grateful homecoming of World War 2 veterans to the utter disrespect of those coming home from Vietnam. Veterans, both combat and non-combat, have experienced feeling left behind by this country. I served with Marines, who when they came home were spit on and called baby killers. When they landed, they were told to change out of their uniforms to avoid being targeted. The VA Healthcare system tries to take care of us but can be overwhelmed. It's been about 12 years since I first started using it. There's been times getting appointments here been hit or miss. I travel between an hour to an hour and a half one way to see a doctor.
