    i am in the army....i was told to listen to this song, it takes a lot to say goodbye to family and friends you love not knowing for sure if you will make it back...but the love and support is what helps us get thru...god bless america, and god bless all of us soldiers fighting for this country.

    This song reminds me of my friend David who was killed in a bombing in Afganistan. It happened last year and it's still hard to believe I won't be able to see his smiling face and his great personality, but I always remember that he loved his country and did it for me and my freedom and I can't thank him enough for that.

    I am beyond blessed to still have my brother in law Felix Alvarez Jr, who has had to go to Afghanistan not once but twice and is still alive. He is without a doubt my hero. I'd also like to say thank you to all the people who fought in the war, and rest in peace to all the hero's that died fighting for us. God bless America.

    @Mikesfungame 12 ปีที่แล้ว +51

    I'm joining the armed forces in a few months. My girlfriend said she would wait for me to get back. Always makes me wonder about the kind of hell she'll go through if I get deployed and don't make it back every time I hear a song like this. I'll be fighting to make it home to her, for sure. Can't help but cry after these, though.

    Perhaps I didn't cry because of the song... but I sure as hell cried for the people who have lost loved ones, friends, or have friends who have lost their loved ones. We never know why God has these things planned out, but we have to pull through and know God has them in his hands now.

    I needed this today. Sometimes I just, ya'know forget about what our soldiers have done for us and I take lofe for granted. These men and women die for us. For people they don't even know because their sense of honor and courage are greater than the avarage person. Words can't even express the gratitude I feel towards the soldiers who are willing to bear that cross for me, but I can try. Thank you with every fiber of my being for what you do. You deserve the best. Thank you and please be safe.
