Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .
I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
I'm a 72 year old veteran of the Vietnam War. I've watched this video many times, and I've cried every time. Most people these days couldn't care less about veterans, and just want to forget that we exist at all. It's easier for them that way. It has been said that there are no unwounded soldiers in war - some wounds you can see, and some wounds you can't. Please keep that in mind. We all have scars. Just because our scars aren't obvious, it doesn't mean that we don't have them. War sucks, but our supposed leaders don't learn from history and keep doing the same stupid things over and over again. Just look at Ukraine right now. You're a very kind young lady Bisscute for reacting the way you did. I wish there were more young people like you. Much love and appreciation to you!
Ralph I’m sorry that you and the other Vietnam Vets didn’t get the respect you deserved when you returned Stateside. I have to disagree with what you said about people couldn’t care less about Veterans. In my experience that just isn’t true. I am a 70% disabled Veteran. I get more love and respect from the public than not. Keep fighting those demons Ralph. From one Vet to another I respect you and your sacrifice.
@@maximus11400 Hey, Brother! Thanks for the reply! I agree that vets from more modern wars tend to get more respect from the public. However, those from my war do not! I have been called "baby killer" and "war criminal" in the last year. The war ended 46 years ago, but the hate still goes on. I used to think that the hate and name-calling would end given enough time; I've now accepted that's not going to happen. For us, the war will end when we're all gone. Not to worry my friend, my "demons" are well under control. I have forgiven, but I have not forgotten. I wear my Vietnam Veteran hat every day - just my way of saying: "F*** you! I'm still here! Deal with it!" Stay safe, my brother!
@@ralphboyer2538 come into contact at minimum weekly with soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines of your generation. I make a point of thanking each and every one of them, of shaking their hands, of doing whatever I am able to. Each generation stands upon the shoulders of the previous generation. I thank you that your service and sacrifice gave me the privilege of being able to provide that same somewhat less stable platform for the generation past my ets date.
@@ralphboyer2538 this is true. Some people I heard spit on vietnam vets because most people didn't understand the experiences or the war in general. i dont know for sure though, Im only 20. But either way, thank you for your service man and I'm sorry about all the hate you guys get
@@lowqualityvideos460 The media tells us that the spitting on Vietnam Vets is a lie; they say it never happened. Don't listen to them. I was personally spit on by a group of war protesters in the San Francisco Airport. So yes, it did happen. It was so bad that we were ordered to not wear our uniform when we left the base here in the states; it wasn't safe for anyone wearing a uniform. The protesters knew which medals and ribbons signified that the solder had been to Vietnam; those soldiers were especially targeted. What people don't understand is that the hate I have received for the last 46 years has made me much stronger. At first, their comments hurt; now I just laugh at them to their face. They're the ones who wasted a good portion of their life overwhelmed by hate! What a miserable way to live!
Been in the Navy 12 years now and this video gets harder to watch as time goes on. Have lost 20 Sailors (active and veteran) in that time, only 2 from natural causes. This song hits hard and you handled it with exceptional grace for someone who is not involved with/educated on the US Military. Much love and respect.

My condolences for your losses. That's extremely heavy. It hurts to even read about. Keep it metal. \m/
Thankyou so much for your service

When he says "I'm not made of stone" I believe he is saying that Veterans are not super human or machines. We are human and have emotions just like everyone else.
Same 💔
The chorus wrong side of heaven, righteous side of hell I believe speaks to what soldiers have to do in war to protect that which they love. You take lives to protect others. It's the ultimate in evil actions with saintly intentions. It's not an easy thing to live with.
@@stevep2380 very good description
@@stevep2380 No its not easy to live with.
you learn to "shut down"everything that is you and sooner or later it explodes...
That final scene, where the man sees his old sergeant and says, "You know me! You saved my life, brother!".... tears me up every time I see it. Thank you for reacting to this one.
Army vet...and this song is in all my playlists, so many lives lost, the struggle is real for many soldiers and many never receive the help they need and deserve
Thank you for reacting to this song.
Being a U.S. Army vet myself .now working for an organization whose sole mission is helping my brothers and sisters get off the street, or help with addiction or helping to feed them the unfortunate reality is just about everything in this video is true. I see it all daily. However there are success stories with this job. To see the smiles from those we have been able to help is truely a blessing,
Peace and love to ALL my military veterans worldwide ❤️
Thank you for your service and doing what you do
Thx Rob, wish you the strenght you need to do this important job.
Thank you for your service from one battle buddy to another.
If it was still in the 90's I would 100% agree with you. In 2022 help is everywhere. I work for the Veteran's Administration (VA Hospital) I know help is out there. I couldn't get help back in the 90's which led to my suicide attempt. I am a combat Veteran. I did manage to get some help and now the VA treats me very well. Thanks for doing what you do Rob.
@@maximus11400 It took me a long time to trust the VA to help me. The government messed me up why would they actually try to fix me? While on active duty if you were in pain they through horse pill ibuprofin at you and said to get back to work. Didn't treat the actual injury.
I'm a disabled Navy veteran suffer from severe PTSD and all the other problems that accompany it. I cry every time I watch this and I'm very greatful that Five Finger Death Punch supports us Veterans
As a veteran who has battled depression and suicide, this song always hits so hard… 😔
Thank you for your service and bless stay strong
I completely understand. I myself have battled depression and suicide many times (my depression is daily, it feels like), and I've prevented my own brother, a USMC vet, from taking his own life.
Just wanted to say, first, thank you for your service. Second, if you need something to draw strength from, Jee Veerey by Bloodywood is a song that saved my life, while I was in the dark pits of my own mind, wanting to end it all. I highly recommend Jee Veerey as a song that prevents suicide, because of the lyrics. It is the reason why I'm here, now, writing this to you, because without it, I may well have taken my own life at the time that song found its way to me.
I hope you are well and that day finds you blessed, brother.
@@isaiahwelch8066 Depression is a life long battle. It never completely fades away. That’s why it’s important to maintain self-management and self-awareness and focus on the baby steps that are within your control. The battle is won through the little victorious.
Thank you for paying attention to your brother in his darkest times. We all need someone at some point.
@@isaiahwelch8066 also, checked out that song. 🤘🏻

"When you can't run, you walk. When you can't walk, you crawl. When you can't crawl...when you can't do that...you find someone to carry you." ~ Firefly Ep. 11, "The Message"
And what must not be forgotten is, we all need carrying from time to time -- just like you do when you're in-country, and you have a team watching your six.
I retired after 23 years in the US Army and being in Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom this song is very powerful. Most people reacting to this video don't notice it was the four Soldiers are the same people with their struggles from coming home from war!
How much of what the U$ military does is to protect civilians, and how much is to protect corporate interests?
Desert storm for me . I always lose it to this song . I lost brothers in arms and I still haven't forgotten them
This song always, ALWAYS make me cry, and I am not from EUA, but it a problem every where, and the song and the video always hits me. In war the warriors are always forgoten. A big hug to you Bisscute, whe cry together with this one.
I want to THANK YOU as a Vet who served 4 years until I was shot through my arm and fought on until I was grappling with an enemy and got slashed with a machete!
PTSD is real. I’m doing great now.
Lost a lot of friends, my house, but have a great family!
I and WE APPRECIATE YOU!
As a veteran myself I cant only share with you is that it never leaves you. We are not heroes. My brother and sisters who gave their lives are the heroes we are just here.
I lost a dear friend who served in the US army to suicide..he shot himself and survived, then 2 years later shot himself again and died.. please support our veterans! SFC Joshua Nitz US Army

@@Alpha40M lmao, which of the 10000+ gods is that? the one that cant prove his own existamce or the one that keeps killing people and gets credit when anyone else doesnt die?
@@kavinsky2 dude stfu no one wants to read you’re stupid argument stop trying to start Shit
There are no words I could ever say except “I’m so very sorry” for what our Soldiers have been through and been treated. GOD Bless you all
I am a combat veteran ( Vietnam ) you can not possibly know the good you have just done . Thank you for this and God bless you
I'm blown away at ur compassion. I appreciate you.
Thx Bisscute for your reaction to this important song, you are a great person, stay as you are. 🤘🇨🇭🙋♂️
90% of the band is former military. It pisses me off that our veterans get treated like shit and nothing is being done about it. You heard correctly. To all past and present military service members thank you for your service and I love all of you. HOORAH!!🤘❤️🤘❤️
Thank you for reacting to this, as a veteran that deals with nightmares and have worked with veterans that are going through the things this song talks about. It is difficult to listen to but the message is extremely important. Thank you again and keep being a ray of light in a very dark world.
As a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, from 1976-1992 including during the 1st Gulf War, we volunteer to defend our country, including laying down our life for it. While treatment of veterans has gotten a little better, there is a long way to go. My father served in the US Army from 1947-1969, including 2 tours in Vietnam. There are many more things that our government can do to help, they just aren't in hurry to do so.
I watched a veteran do a reaction to this track and video. He pretty much broke down. Really got me, reminded me how powerful music is.
Powerful video. Thank you for letting your heart feel the message of this song and thank you for sharing. ❤
@Bisscute: Many things in this video are true. I'm a military veteran, and I've been homeless multiple times. I've even prevented my brother from taking his own life, because of things that were going on at the time.
For many veterans, transitioning back to civilian life is a culture shock, because many veterans find serving a simpler life. Things are more black and white, as it were.
And Bisscute? A lot of people think, rightly or wrongly, that fighting for one's country, particularly America, transposes God for Lady Liberty -- hence God being a woman in the lyrics.
As others have said, thank you for reacting to this song. A lot of the struggles that vets go through is something that a lot of people don't know, because they either don't ask, or they don't want to know.
And for military vets out there, please -- I beg you, if you need help, ask for it. In-country, you always had a team watching your six. Being a civilian is no different. And no matter what, know that your service and sacrifice is greatly appreciated.
Welcome home, and thank you for your service.

#EndThe5000
PS: Bisscute, you should know that the statistics given in the video are for the US armed forces and military branches. I'm actually uncertain what the statistics are for other countries, such as the countries in the EU, or even the UK.
i am a german and i am ashamed of germany's role in the current situation regarding ukraine and russia, so i can only say one thing: thank you for your service. it doesn't matter in what war, we all have to stick together
I can attest to the sad knowledge that the figures in this video, many of them are 5 times worse today.
I'm a British veteran I served 14 years and this video makes me cry every time as I relate with my own struggles. Nice reaction.
I am a veteran and served during Desert Storm/Desert Shield. I appreciate your reaction. Thank you for being so sympathetic and promoting the help sites at the end.
thank you so much for your reaction. i'm a combat veteran and have lost my marriage, my house and everything to my PTS. I've been fortunate enough to be able to start to build my life again over the last couple of years but every day is a struggle. Again, thank you for your heartfelt reaction to such an important song. "You saved my life, Brother" will always get me. That's real. The statistics have only gotten worse. there are many more homeless vets on the streets and the number of veteran suicides has about doubled to about 1 per hour. this has to stop
This video is meant to open your eyes. FFDP forever has my respect for the things they do for veterans, first responders. I've been to 2 of their concerts and both times they have acknowledged both groups, calling them the real heros!
I met this music a few weeks ago, but today watching this video I understand what it really means. Respect for all veterans.
I'm an old combat veteran, and this video gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes every time.
You are a very smart young woman. Great analysis. "They haven't lost their lives practically, but they did lose their lives." Wow
I'm not a Veteran, some of my are/were, to me its not a question of if we should send soldiers or not (thats another talk), but when we choose to send our Men & Women to war, we sure aswell can make give then the help they need when they return. No matter if its for physical damage, or from PTSD. The Military cast so much money, yet we won't spend enough on the soldiers, thats a disgrace to me.
I think veterans who serve in active combat , should have all bills paid........ for life. * within reason of course*
"They are just Broken".....one of the most honest statements i've heard about from ANY reaction to this song.
This world is cold. Every time I watch this video, I react the same way you did. My brothers and sisters in arms keep losing everything even after they've given everything else. The ones who give the most are the ones who suffer the most after their fight is over. I've had too many brothers and sisters in arms lose everything. They have become a shell of a being after fighting so hard for the country they loved and lived in for their entire lives. I appreciate you taking the time to watch this video. It's not easy, but it is appreciated. Thank you for your service. You actually care about other people around the world. Thank you. Keep it metal. \m/
All gave some, some gave all. Served with so many great people.
As a US veteran, I can relate to this very well. I really appreciate how you handled this video and the insight you shared about it.
Thank you veterans, you give everything and should be treated as the heroes that you are. Stay strong
You earned a lot of respect from me today , you people will have to look after your soldiers fighting at present for your country .
May God be with you all
Welcome to Five Finger Death Punch... They do not tiptoe around the issues. The truth is harsh. I've seen them live and I love them.
Your reaction and your heartfelt emotion shows you care. I'm a 35 year veteran and my heart hurts daily for all my lost brothers in arms. I lost my son to an IED in Afghanistan 3 weeks after I retired. He and all my brothers are heros. I'm so lost without my son. I would give anything to have been able to switch places with him. Why couldn't I have died over there instead of him.
On my wall sits a calendar, on that calendar is a bunch of dates with little more than a name and a rank that would mean nothing to anyone else but me. Those are my brothers I would give anything to trade places with. When those days come I always find my self watching these reaction videos. If for nothing else, I am thankful to Five Finger Death Punch for making it so I am less alone on those days.
Thank anyone that was/is serving in the military. I appreciate your service.
I’ve watched people react to this many times. Always brings tears to me. And a lot of anger that our gov just don’t care .
very honest reaction i have always looked out for the groups that help vets thank you for your reaction
Thanks for reacting to this video Bisscute. Being a US Army Veteran & being deployed in Iraq & Middle East this song always hits home for me hard. Sometimes we are forgotten & not appreciated for the sacrifices we make for our country. To my fellow brothers & sisters in arm there is always a place in my heart for you guys. Whoa!!!!
I didn't think I could watch this song again but I came across your channel, a german take on the veteran crisis in america and I had to see what you thought. You had fantastic thoughts on it. Almost made it worth the pain the song conjures up. Such an amazing song. It just hits too close to home for me to enjoy.
As an Army vet, I love watching these FFDP videos. But they kick me in the feels. Every. Damn. Time!!
I have the highest respect for military personnel. These men and women are fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, etc. They are no different than me, BUT they gave up EVERYTHING to protect this country, our freedom and their loved ones. They never comeback completely unharmed; whether it’s mental or physical, but some don’t even get to come home. Yet we do almost nothing to pay them back for their sacrifice. So, I just want to say thank you for protecting my freedom. Stay safe. If you’re overseas; comeback alive. Those who are not with us; may their souls Rest In Peace with a place in the eyes of the lord. God speed to you.
Watching this for the thousandth time…always hurts and always cry. Kills me to know know who I’ve failed while trying to save others. This is me for sure.
I hope you got your tissue ready. I cry every time I listen to this song.
This band is something else, the meaning and power of their songs always hits me to the core,, great reaction!
My Younger Brother did 20 years in the Marine Corps since 9 11. Combat deployments, living in several different countries. This song always makes me tear up. Wounded Warrior Project...
You are an amazing young lady, and I am sure every veteran that is able to see this and family members of veterans seeing this reaction is very grateful for your support wether you gave money or not, you still have heart to help them and that’s so much more than most. You have me as a subscriber ma’am. I’ll check out more of your vids. Keep it up! Heart of gold! Thank you from me (a vet). And again great reaction.
Nice reaction. It's a powerful video with a powerful message. In the USA, it's "thank you for your service", then out of sight and out of mind
Thank you for this reaction. Sorry I'm just seeing it now. I didn't know of your reactions yet. Found you and subscribed today. This is a very powerful song that needs to be heard and mostly seen by everyone who can see it to raise awareness to these issues that still exist for our veterans. I was not a veteran myself but my father was a veteran of Vietnam and had terrible PTSD and issues when he came home which led to drug and alcohol abuse issues. These issues eventually led to him dying young after years of these issues ruining who he was. This really does need to be pushed more as something everyone should be more aware of. Thanks again and take care.
Thank you so much❤️
@@BisscuteReacts No problem. I'm at work and watching reactions from oldest to newest and so far I got up to this one. I'll watch more at home or tomorrow at work in between working. Loving your reactions so far keep up the good work! Love how excited you are to experience new music and bands. There's tons of music out there and a Band you might like a good bit is Called Motionless in White. They have some amazing songs I can recommend a few you should check out by them if you want. Take care and be safe.
This is one of those videos that you have to watch several times to really grasp the full magnitude of it. Once to listen only to the lyrics, another time to watch only the video and a 3rd time to read the facts.
Excellent Reaction beautiful young lady.. Hello from New Hampshire U.S.A. 😎🤘🔥🎸🎧.. You Have a Beautiful Heart ❤
Thank you for a remarkably empathetic reaction. For one so young to understand so well the issues this track raises is extraordinary. There's been a lot of bad stuff that's happened in Europe in the last few decades and you may have been affected, depending on where you come from. It's not just an issue in America, we are all touched.
I'm a medically retired Marine with 12 years of service and 3 combat deployments. Some men have the mindset to be able to compartmentalize and to put our war behind us and others simply can't. They are in no way less or weaker, they simply need to be helped to reacclimate and accept the reality of warfare. And the song is true. We aren't evil men, but sometimes good men must commit violent acts. Heaven is out of reach but we don't deserve hell. We have already been there.
Thank you for your beautiful insight in his words sang in this song🙏🏼
You are correct. I am a Veteran of Desert Storm and a lot of people don’t understand PTSD. Thank you so much for reacting to this video and your amazing words🙏🏼🌹💕
this, alice in chains unplugged of "down in a hole", and John Cash's Hurt video get me everytime. you're alright, bizcuit.
"Right or wrong? I can hardly tell"
Man, those lyrics are just... Damn. No matter how many times I listen to this song, that part always gets me
@@BisscuteReacts Omg, Senpai Bisscute noticed me
Thank you for your reaction yes the numbers are unbelievable and have risen since they did the video. I have never made it thru this without tears, this is so much more than a video for some of us, my wife and I are both army vets and 8 years ago on June 29th it will be 8 years since my wife committed suicide, two weeks after our youngest graduated high school. She just couldn’t deal with the physical pain from injuries she received. 22 veterans a day take their own lives, my heart is broken for every one of them and their families.
This is massive in the uk too thousands of heroes living on the streets after serving there country and that’s how there treated not being horrible just being truthful but we house to many Europeans and not looking after our own .
Our VA system here in the us isn’t the best. Post traumatic stress disorder is very prevalent with the military. There is not a cure for it but there are things that help. There are different levels of ptsd and some don’t allow them to work and they aren’t getting the help they need. I have been diagnosed with it, I am a RN and worked trauma and Er for a long time. I still work and function normally I just have issues with sleeping, it isn’t my friend. I can control my mind when awake but sleep makes me relive things I don’t want to. Bless everyone that has or is serving in the military and thank you for keeping us safe. Thank you for doing this reaction, they need more help
This is just such an incredibly heavy song. Musically, lyrically, thematically and emotionally. To me the band succeeded in creating a sense of how serious these problems are, by writing a song that hits so very hard.
I have two siblings that served, one is a retired US Army officer, the other served in the US Air Force, and he served in a US Veterans Hospital, working with service members with PTSD.
I also have a friend that still is effected by PTSD from serving in the Vietnam War.
Your compassion for our brave ones is greatly appreciated.
Beautiful reaction by a beautiful woman. This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. I have many family members who are serving/have served in the military, and I can't imagine what they've seen. All I know is that I thank them every time I see them. Thank you for this reaction. You understand the difficulty that is serving in the military. I wish I had enlisted.... Also....new subscriber. 🙂
I'm so glad I'm not the only person that broke down Bec of this video. In America I don't think we support our military as much as we used to.
You are an angel. Such a reaction you did to this song. As an Army vet this song tears me up every time and I hope TH-cam steps up and allows the monitozation, spelling optional, of your reaction video
for one so young you are very perceptive and empathic. i love how you feel the songs as much as hear them. much respect x
Thank you so much ❤️
I am a navy veteran, and I know that these numbers are much higher now…sadly. I served 28 years ago…during Desert Shield. Much love and respect to those that served before I did, and for those that serve now. Thank you Biscute for reacting to this video! To all veterans everywhere, You are not Forgotten! Keep fighting brothers and sisters, never give up!
Only about halfway through and tears rolling down my face. Appreciate you getting the message, and you wanting the message to go further. Thank you for the reaction from one old soldier.
Edit: More tears flow as the organization list is allowed to play. Watched way too many reactors end the song and ignore this.
Once again thank you. And God bless.
"I'm no hero and I'm not made of stone." Veterans are people too, they aren't immortal. No matter what country they're fighting for.
Bisscute, thank you for taking this seriously. We still fight our minds after we have discharged.
This is the first time i heard this song and the band.. I feel for them.. im not a fan of this genre but i really appreciate this song.. feels like sounds like Linkin Park
Thank you for this and letting all the organizations run at the end. My only blood Uncle went to Vietnam and he was gone before 35.
My pleasure, glad you liked the reaction, sorry for your loss❤️
It's the sacrifice soldiers make to serve their country. We all know college's that couldn't get back into normal life. You are not the same person anymore when you come back after all you been through. Relationships break and people end up on the streets or even in jail. One of my friends ended in jail. Thanks for the review. Support our vets.
You are so genuine...thank you for this video
Deep song... the lyrics to this song has opened my eyes to a subject that we don't hear in the new in the USA. But should be.... it's a sad but very true. Thank a veteran when for ur freedom. Very heart warming reaction...
Thanks, glad you liked the reaction ❤
This is a great music video with a great message. I love that you are such a sweetheart! This video hits LOTS of people really hard so don't worry about being emotional over it, I think that is part of the point. THANK YOU for taking this so seriously and for letting the credits play all the way through! That's AWESOME of you! So well done, Bisscute! Luv ya!
Thank you for this reaction it meens the world to me.
I was a gunner in the Iraq war and I can tell you veterans do not want appreciation just understanding when they come home not the same as they left. All I can say is when I came home I was definitely not the person I was when I left, I excepted that as I volunteered to go but for me the only thing that made sense was my yearning to be there again. I've been home now awhile and got divorced cause of how I was when I returned and again I've excepted that, my problem is I've never felt like I belong anymore anywhere since coming home. My solace has been my understanding of my true friends who are understanding of how I am now compared to before I left. Thank you for sharing this video.
I just subscribed to you because you have such a beautiful beautiful soul! Thank you for being here!🙏🙏🙏❤️
Every time I watch this video, whether a reaction or the video itself, I tear up. This is a powerful video and an honest, raw reaction. There are so many people who have opinions on the military, but have no true idea of their daily sacrifices and struggles. Thank you for the reaction and thank you to all who have served.
POWERFUL MESSAGE AND SONG!!!
Your heart is just full of love and love for humanity ❤
Bless you dear. One of the best reaction I’ve seen of this. You know, I’m not sexist but women’s reactions to such videos are more powerful than those of men because women are so much more expressive and emotional. And it’s you who we keep in our hearts when we do what has to be done. On a separate note - you’re really pretty. You wanna go fool around some? I’m 73 but I promise you’ll be pleased. Hmm?
When I first saw the music video, what pissed me off was all the private charities out there helping and yet we still can’t corral this shit.. thank you for reacting :)
I'm 49 now, US Navy Veteran, and my 1st deployment I was 32. The command I was in was evil in many ways. They sent me to Baghdad with NO combat training or SERE, embedded with a Tier One unit, then sent another guy out to "watch" me. A week after he arrived, he pulled me aside and told me what he was told. First they said I was going to do a bunch of stupid things, but what he saw was 180 degrees different, so he felt the need to inform me. They also told him they expected, and intended, for me to not return. How do you react to being told your (immediate) chain of command planned your death. The awards I received upon my return only passed them off more. Unfortunately, for them, I did my job despite them telling me to do the wrong things. I went through three years of hell, and very nearly didn't make it out of that command. So yeah, I have nightmares to this day. I made some good, strong friends in the Tier One community, which only proved to solidify the hatred thrust upon me. And why, you ask? Because I refused to be a 'yesman'. They had a "good ol' boys club" going, but I refused to play. One of my battle buddies called me a year after I left the command to tell me some fun news: that command was kicked out of the entire AOR and banned from returning. A small piece of satisfaction, but not enough to alleviate the torturous memories.

I THINK, ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME, I am a retired Marine, and wonder all the time Heaven or hell. I guess time will tell.
I just love how you react and be so
Every FFDP song has a message. React to "Coming Down", or "A Little Bit Off". A Little Bit Off reflects on how the year 2020 went with the pandemic.
I'm sorry, but I just saw this. But it also proves why I followed you in. Because you're wonderful. You have a beautiful heart.
Aweeee so sweet ♥️
🇺🇸 5 yrs Army. It's a great thing that light is being shed on this subject! ♡
This song and video hits me hard every single time. 😪
The first question you asked is why? Because of you. Your worth everything
The sad truth is that these issues are vicious cycles, and not just for veterans. A lot of Americans, and probably just people in general, have a very negative view of the downtrodden of society. The poor and the homeless just to name a few. We unjustly assume that these people have done something to deserve to be there and they're beyond help. When we discuss homeless people, we focus so heavily on the homeless part and not enough on the people part. We spend so much time judging strangers without knowledge and without realizing that's not our place as people. We, as a species, can't move forward until we remember that those experiencing difficulty are just as human as those experiencing ease. And what this video does so well is that it acts as a reminder. It shoves it in your face that the people we look down on the most are still worthy of respect and dignity.
Ma'am, from a veteran that has served the US in five major conflicts and quite a few that remain to be released, Thank You and I salute you. Thank you for pushing forward the message that 5FDP send out.
