- On May 4, 2013 Sophia lost her father Staff Sgt. Francis Gene Phillips IV. Frankie was serving our country on his fourth deployment when his unit was taken by a road side bomb. Frankie is a local man of Meridian. We are preparing a benefit to bring the community together to help his four year old daughter fulfill the dreams he left behind for her.
That just crushed this tough old firefighter’s heart watching that little girl accept her daddy’s flag
To the 11 Marines, the Navy Corps Man and Army Soldiers that just sacrificed their lives in Afghanistan 4 days ago...you've laid down your guns and hung up your boots...you honored your uniform and protected your country now you're home where you can live in Peace.
sell me your guns
@@johndibert3077 WTF
Why the fuck $$$
Well he lost.
No need. Russian weapons
😭 So Sad. 😢 No Greater Love hath a Man to Lay down His Life for His Fellow Man. RIP Amen.
😢
Love, not sure many people really knows what that means anymore. To be honest, never thought about "Love', just did my fricken job. The faces of anguish will never leave me, the lies I told to keep spirits up, haunt me. My deep scars, eventually come to past.
I am an old fart,, poke in my awesome garden, feed my birds, feed the neighbors, tryin to feed my soul.
God Bless, Stay Well!!!!
Love and respect for the men and woman in the united states military . Thanks for standing for freedom for us all ❤ from Canada
Thank you for your service
You know what gets me to tears is the way our veterans are treated by our own government

That true
You mean used as political pawns?
Dang straight its so dang disrespectful and just pure evil God bless yall
As lab rats.
When I asked my grandson if he was sure he wanted to be a Marine instead of school and football, or a good job he said "Grandma, I've always wanted this - it's not a job it's a calling." Oorah to all who answered the call in all our branches - all are our heroes and I know they don't think so but Truth!
Yes it is a calling I answered and served in the navy for 16 years
Amen thank you and your family for your service and sacrifice ❤
My grandson graduated from high School this year and went into the Marine. I'm a proud Grandpa
Ma’am it’s definitely a calling, I wanted to be a marine all my life, my parents made me promise to graduate high school and I’d have there blessing to join, not long after I graduated I got sick for 3 weeks couldn’t eat or drink I’d just puke it all up, ended up going to the hospital and found out I was in a DKA diabetic ketoacidosis and severely dehydrated, doc said I was minutes away from death, 5 days and 4 nights of getting poked and jabbed in my left arm every hour day and night, and 5 IV’s in my right arm I finally got released and then found out being a diabetic I couldn’t join…. That was 2 years ago and not a day goes by that I talk to the lord and ask why he took the one thing I feel the need to do away………. God bless each and every man and women who risk there life’s for our freedom, who makes hard sacrifices so we don’t have to
Prayers for his safe return
From south africs snd a ex solder RESPECT FOR AMERICAN BOYS IN AFGANISTAN .. I SALUTE YOU
I'm not from the united states but this song and video made me cry.
He was a true man, i respect him from my heart
You don't have to respect and thank the soldiers
I hate to cry but it made me cry. God bless our sons and daughters who gave the ultimate price for us and still paying for it.
Daughters ?
You can't be human if you don't cry
God please be with these young men and woman, who bring a deadly service to the western world. War veteran from South Africa. 🇿🇦
Everyone that puts their life on the line for their country is a selfless act GOD🙏
They didn't put their lives for their country. They had sacrificed their lives for those greedy politicians. Minding business of another country and sending these soldiers to die for 'em.
I joined the Army right out of school as a 68W turned 20 in Afghanistan wouldnt trade it for the world
AM PROUD OF you man thanks for Your service
Ty
It is so sad, so sorrowful. He missed making a life full of memories with all that loved him. What a lovely family. Thank you for giving all.
Amen☁️🎺👼💒🙏🇺🇲🌹
To staff sergeant Frankie hoorah son you're probably now dancing with the angels in heaven keeping keeping them Iraqis from hitting heaven's Gates Frankie it's an honor and a privilege to salute to you for that the United States of America thank you soldier
This is just breaking me I'm sorry really sorry 😢😔 RIP.🙏💔😭😭
Speechless. Wow
Unfortunately it was like that for so many of our Soldiers.😢😢
I am an 82nd Airborne combat medic, many years ago I did my job, saved a lot.... lost a few, honestly, I should have not gotten out of there, but I was pulled out.
Nightmares never end.
Freedom is NOT free, Stay Well!!!
Thank you Doc!!!! I pray you can find some peace!!!!!!
My grandfather served in ww2, my sister served in the USAF ,my cousin served 3 tours in Vietnam, wounded twice, he made it home but the nightmares were never far. He took his life . God Bless You All for standing at post and keeping us safe . Thank you
O Sir, Thank you for your service and All the good you gave.
Asking JESUS for HIS PEACE TO ABOUND TO AND FOR YOU.
May God Bless you my friend
May you find comfort and if you do please tell me where it is. Thank you.
RIP Hero. Thank you for your service.
My dad was in the Army. He was in the Vietnam war. He was a helicopter pilot. He was a medivac pilot and would fly into the battlefield to pick up the wounded soldiers. He was shot down twice and crashed once due to a mechanical failure and survived all three times. He loved what he did but was always upset when one of his friends or patients died. He had nightmares about it until the day he died. He died on September 2nd 2018. He was 76 years old. He will always be a hero in my eyes. I loved him very much and miss him every day. The one thing that helps with my grief is that I know he is in heaven watching over us.
Nothing But Love Partner.
I flew with a Vietnam Vet in Whitehorse Yukon Canada. His name was was Chief. I never trusted anyone more with my life than Chief. He sacrificed his life one night for me on a mountain top. I will never forget him.
I'm getting to be an old Marine and my days are now numbered. I find real peace in this video. Thank you.
Thank you for service and sacrifice. You will never be forgotten. You are loved My Dad was a Marine and he was unfortunate to only live to 55 so know that you are honorable man and a true American Hero 🙏🏻🙏🏻💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Right with ya Dan. Getting old ain't for the weak. Semper fi.
Right with ya Dan. Getting old ain't for the weak. Semper fi.
Don't cry be proud of the young men and woman who sacrifice there life's for us today. It looks like our country will need us again in the 🇬🇧 and we are ready. God save the king
R.I.P. MY FRIEND ..YOU DIED FOR OUR COUNTRY & THE PEOPLE WHOM LOVE 💘OF OUR COUNTRY..GOD BLESS
I am a South African man of 60 years old. We had a war in Angola and lost some friends. We never got any councilling after comming back into normal sivilion life. Fighting and 3 days later you are just a sivilion. I often wondered what our government told the families of our fallen brothers what have happened to them? When it happened that we lost someone, we would return to base and not a word ever was said about our brothers again. Like they never was there. God bless America for all the good that they are doing around the world.
Oh smh sorry for that but just horrible 😔
Thank you Sir for fighting for your country. It is honorable. The Lord has welcomed your brothers home. The Lord is the Avenger, Judge and Mighty Counselor. Praying the Peace that passes all understanding for you. Many Blessings to you and yours. Much LOVE to you🌹⭐🙏❤️💪🌎⬆️🛡️
Hulle het niks gese, and that's the worst of it. One thing the states does that we don't, is they remember their fallen.
Thank you my friend ...I love you my brother...War is useless and never has to be but it is ...May God bless you and your family..... (United States veteran)
Honestly. I wouldn’t have the balls to do it. Total respect and thanks.
Thanks my man
Son you don’t know what you have the balls to do until the time comes to anti up.....trust me! Keep the faith 🇺🇸
It's more fun at times than you think training be hard but it's just a step at a time you be surprised what you can do especially when you hit rock bottom and you just gotta take one more step remember all the hero's where anyone of us at one point I hope if it ever came to it my training would take over and courage would guide me forward
Agreed
I believe every one who lays down their life 4 others will be in Heaven! That is their reward!!!
RIP soldier, you're in God's living care now...🇺🇸
RIP, BROTHER, U Shall Be Avenged & NEVER Forgotten...
💔🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💔🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💔
God bless those who gave all. My mom dad went through WWII . Thank God we were in the American sector good people. God bless my cousin he went to Vietnam never the same
This video broke my heart. “Airborne” and rest in peace my Brother!
- Fellow Red Devil
RIP ! Thank you so much for your service!! All I could watching and listening to the beautiful song! 😭😢. I have my beloved husband flag in a flag case. My husband was in the army but he passed away at our home from a heart attack. We were 16 high school sweat hearts, got married at 22 and had 2 beautiful daughters. They are grown with their on family. I miss my husband everyday. I never remarried cuz he was the love of my life. 💖💕
“We don’t know them all, but we owe them all!!”
Godspeed sir!!!
Thank you Mr. Phillips for your ultimate sacrifice from your service. As soldiers we don’t spend much time thinking of dying. We think about our missions and when we will be done. We became an extended family when we join our units. All we have is each other many times. As I’m watching this video I’m getting to see your beautiful family and my heart goes out to them. Never do we expect life to end, especially so soon. I have many brothers that have fallen too. Seeing this video puts a face to your name. You may be gone, but you aren’t forgotten.
RIP🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
💞💞🙏💞💞🙏💞💞💞💞💞💞
u ok sweetie 😔😢
AND NOW WE HAVE 13 MORE FALLEN ANGELS 😇.....THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF WE HAC PEOPLE WATCHING OUR BACKS.AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHOM THINK THAT BIDEN IS DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB !

These men and women should never be forgotten be proud of them. Sacrifice and courage we should all learn from. 🙏
All give some, some give all. Thank you for your sacrifice, prayers to your family. Happy Veterans day. Hooahhh
My battle buddy was so happy. His wife just gave birth and his son was healthy. He couldn't wait to go home. He was just talking about it in a Humvee when he got hit by a sniper.
Thanks to all the Soldiers for their servicio GOD BLESS AMERICA from Argentina
I missed my sons birth and missed him graduation from high school. It hurts me more than I can ever say! I fought for our country I received a lot of injuries. I will go back to the front tonight! 0331 usmc RAH!🇺🇸
Ur a real brainwashed dumb ass who will fight, thinking you’re fighting for ur country, but fighting for corporations and bringing them more profits off of your back and sweat, while the crooks are laughing their butts at everyone and counting their money as well. And everything comes to them extremely cheap, u barely making ends meet with a minimum salary, putting ur life on the line.
This fighting for ur country is no more. Soldiers today fight for corporations without knowing anything about it. They are being used as tools to satisfy the profits of the rich..
@@astoica1
You mean they make profits off idiots like you? After all, you're the idiot buying things made in a foreign country, you ever hear of the phrase, CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM, and the CEO's thank you for their money.
@@armybeef68 look at everything you have in ur house. Everything is made in a foreign country. Even the computer u use to write here on TH-cam is made in a foreign country. Looks like ur a bigger idiot... wake up. Why are you buying it? Ur making other countries more prosperous...
:)
I was marry to a USA marine. He came from with cancer. I had cancer 4 times and on January 13 2018 the cancer took to heaven. The song takes me to the that day pass ways. He was a true marine
Man this hits home I lost my brother in 2009 to an ied in Iraq. Watching this reminded me of the day we got the call and the pain we all felt I tell his kids all the time their dad was an American hero fighting very bad men and the world is a little safer thanks to him. I miss you Michael and can’t wait for the day I get to see you again love you bub.
Take heart buddy.
Sorry for your loss. I truly am.
Don't follow him too soon man.
Semper Fi bro !!
So sorry for your loss. God bless you & all your family sir. Stay strong & stay safe. My condolences to you! 🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲⚓🙌💖❤💐🤗
I know what it is like I am a combat veteran I return my friend body home to his wife. This video made me cry but it's true he was home 🏡 before I got their and is in heaven
The military make the ultimate sacrifice. We do not take care of veterans and the soldiers like we should
My mom used to play the song all the time when I was overseas in Afghanistan fighting for our freedom in 2005
He was so humbled his parents never knew how many lives his ideas and service has saved until soldiers and people started showing up from thousands of miles away
This so called president makes me sick as a vet. What total trader to all of us. Love this song. One of the best ever. My dreams never stop. Lost my family my wife of twenty years that I'll never stop thinking and loving her. When I came back from the Gulf she called me broken man song hits home.
He was in my unit
I was sniffling with this, but then the daughter with the doll, I just lost it... we need to honor our soldiers..
Until soldiers started showing up from thousands of miles to show respect for him saving us🥳 that would be one of the best funerals ever for someone to celebrate for them
A True Hero and Patriot. Thank you so much to you and your family. May god bless all of you. R.I.P. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What a moving tribute to all our fallen heroes! Thanks to Tim McGraw for his rendition of this haunting poem!
I moved to Wytheville from New England, if they only knew how beautiful it is down here
GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU!!!!! MAY GOD BE WITH HIS FAMILY.RIP Sir.

1st Lt. Michael MADDIN. Thank you Brother..
Words about the fallen will not replace the fallen. Just remember God bless you the fallen.
Rest In Peace soldier we got your back brother RANGERS LEAD THE WAY.....ALL THE WAY HOOHA!!!!!
All are heros. Thank you Tim for doing this.
I plan on joining when i get old enough, in my opinion i think serving in the militry honors our country and I will live up to this until it happens, maybe by then some of us will actually understand what it means to respect, honor, and actually say the plege of allegaice unlike some students in my class.
I am so very sorry for the loss of what sounds like a great man,father,son,husband and soldier!! I was in Special Ops, and I had more than enough tours. Almost every tour we had someone or more that was K.I.A. I was also a combat medic for the 11.8 years I served until I was injured in
03 January 2009. Not only was I the only one that survived, but the injuries I suffered were life changing and surgeries I went through.
I was the only survivor,so guilt has been eating me alive. That’s just a little bit of my story. Again, I would like to say this…I am so very proud of you. You stick your neck out and put yourself in harms way so you can get to the patient. I’m so so sorry to the family of this WARRIOR!!! To the WARRIOR,Rest in Peace BROTHER!!!
Don't know this hero but God bless you rest in peace 🙏
God Bless him and his family, fallen but never forgotten
Now this man is a true hero RIP brother from Australia

I'm so sorry for your loss. My dad was in two wars and now he's in Arlington national cemetery. Pride and love last forever. I truly wish you peace.
As a father myself. I hope that his daughter is doing good! Sorry that such an amazing man was taken way to early! Just know that you are loved!!!
Amen, so sad , our veterans deserve so much more. We need to vote for a president who has shown his allegiance to them.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it
hey touching video i know he is missed wow😎
RIP RLTW, God Bless you and your family. You gave the ultimate sacrifice. Ranger your a Hero.Hooha!
Such sorrow for your loss. Your husband is so well honored and loved by all of us that never had the opportunity to say thank you for serving our country.
May he rest in peace.
My Deepest sympathy from a veteran British Paratrooper.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
If that don't make whoever watching tear up i mean I can only imagine all the wife's and kids who will never see there loved ones again the pain they feel the heartbreak 💔 I did t know they guy but I teared up halfway thru the song thank all who have gave them life for this country and all who still server police ems hospital first responders firefighters who make our live safer
BLESS YOU ALL SO MUCH. SAD. JESUS BLESS THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY
Lost my 1st husband while he was deployed in 2008. My daddy served 30 years in the Navy. My son is fixin to join the navy in 5 months. This song makes me cry every time.
Respect to the soldier.
Sympathy to the family, he lived his life way he wanted.
He knew risks.
Respect to the man..
It feels weird being so far away, but the pictures show it. It shows something none of us can go back to, back to that memory that’s was happy. And that’s what makes us wish we had died too.
rest in peace prayers for the family I am so sorry
I knew Frankie in and he really was a good person sometimes I sit and remember all the good thing and no after Anna tears about everything love you guys love you guys and girls proud of you all I miss you all dearly
I always wondered how it would hit a person when they have to tell a loved one that their loved one is never coming home.
Well many years ago while working for a Police department I had to do just that....and not only did I find out what it felt like...but here many years later.....I still remember it as if it were yesterday.
For it brought new meaning to saying,"All give it some...but some gave it all."
To any loved ones that may read this that have lost a loved one just remember this...Those of us that had to give you that terrible information...We to gave it some....but your loved one gave it all.
GOD BLESS OUR SOLDIERS 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
R.I.P. He was so young. He was my age. And he left a daughter. It's very sad. It's impossible to watch this without crying.
Thank You Tim McGraw for this Beautiful Tribute to our Fallen Heroes 🙏🎸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️
I agree this song was sung from the heart .I had tears 😭 streaming with his soulful voice and words. Bless all our military and their families.❤️👍❤️🇺🇲🎖️
I'm 33 year old man, I can't remember the last time I shed a tear for anything, maybe not since I was a kid, not gonna lie though this got the water works going. I know this is late but my condolences on your loss.
Thank you to all that served you all paid a price so we can have the things we want and the freedoms that we have I don't understand how people in the US can't appreciate that the young people today are so misguided thank you a 1000 times over
A true Hero! To all of our fallen, the real hero’s! God bless this man and his family! I refuse to even consider being called a hero because i always say that i came back home. Our hero’s are the ones who gave it all. Not me. I only gave a little. It’s an honor to know i served with real Hero’s! God bless them all and their families. Especially their kids! Their daddy or mommy were greater Hero’s than any super hero they see on tv or in a book! I hope they know that!
- USN vet
I thank all the men and women that are fighting for our freedom and nation. God Bless You All
Fallen but not gone. R.I.P. 😇
If you love and value the freedoms we enjoy that this man, and many others, fought for, please when you see a veteran take the time to thank him or her. Such a small gesture that means so much to them. God bless all our veterans and active duty personnel wherever you may be. ❤
Tears. Slow, deliberate hand salute honoring SSG Phillips. God bless his Gold Star Family.
Such a touching song. God be with ALL the vets. Thanl you all, and to the ones who never made it home, May God rest your souls.
As an Army Brat whose Dad is in Arlington, I can say with the fullest of Confidence, that God puts all of where He needs us, for His glory. I don't regret my Dad being in Arlington for one second, because it's not about me. It's about God and what He requires from all of us .✝️
YOUR AMAZING AIRE MAIREAD. GOD'S BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
That song broke my heart.
Transported back 40 plus years, faces of those I proudly served alongside, paraded through my memories and in my mind's eye, I saw and saluted every one of them.
We didn't all come home, and every last one of us was wounded, if not in body, certainly in mind. Boys I took into the field came back as men...every one of us changed forever.
At times I felt damned, I wasn't raised to do these things; I daresay I wasn't alone in such thoughts!
I pray still, for those who gave all their tomorrow's, I pray too, for those who survived the fight.
If it happened only once, that would be bad enough, but conflict after conflict, like the echoes in a mountain valley, they played over and over during a long career .
Today, those echoes still sound, in a different valley perhaps, and in a different land, but they are as loud now as ever.
My son is following in his father's footsteps...I pray that he be safe from harm, and I know the heartache my mother felt for me!
To late to take another path, the bell was rung, and the peal still trembles in the air.
Tears, like a waterfall, run down my face and wet my shirt. I close my eyes, I'm back there again. Often, even now when sleeping, I'm back there...I'm back THEN!
Tim McGraw has, with his singing, always stirred my soul, but this song has hit me so very hard; so very, very hard!
To all my brothers and sisters, thank you for your service, and for their families all, thank you for your courage, support and understanding.
I think I've said enough.
God bless you all, and thank you and God bless YOU for taking the time to read this old man's ramblings; I just had to....
Some of us leave Earth bound for hell, A soldier leaves hell bound for Heaven. Thank you for your service and may your face be before the Lord always, may he order your steps and give you supernatural peace. My family and I are forever in your, and your comrades, debt. May the Lord keep you and bless you.
