I was in this video, as a Colonial Militia Man. It was great fun, and the director, Antoine Fuqua, chose those of us who had the most period correct clothing, and gear, to be nearest the camera locations. He wanted this film to be as authentic as possible, and it was a pleasure to work with him!
This video is getting me interested to join up so that’s what I’m gonna do and the job I picked for the National Guard is 11Bravo because I know i would hit a 31 on the ASVAB and so that’s what I picked
@@kahoaliiaiu7130 don't know if the 31 ASVAB score was sarcasm, but Grunts are some the most intelligent people you'll find. We're sometimes not the smartest though. Grunt life isn't anything like you see on TV, but there's nothing like it!!! Take care of your back, knees, and feet lol
I was Army Reserves, but this song played and still plays out to the mantra of being a citizen soldier. Most of all, this song is what got many folks like me from High School to enlist. You'll never see a riveting ad like this one.
Much honor and respect to our esteemed Citizen Soldiers. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for holding the line against the enemies our great nation. Thank you for standing on the wall keeping us safe, so we can rest easy. God bless you all.
I remember being 11 watching this in the movie theater for the first transformers movie. This song motivated me to join almost 9 years later. I went to go be a squid though, but crazy to come back on here. On TH-cam no less.
Since 13 December 1636AD, The Citizen Soldiers of the National Guard have been ready, willing and able to serve and defend Community, City and Country. ALWAYS READY ALWAYS THERE!!🇺🇸🗽🦅🔫
This really speaks about us in the medical field as citizen soldiers especially in the year 2020 (last year) with many of my colleagues dying to save lives. It still pains me to see what had happened but at the same time gives me hope to keep going in the career path I chose. 🙏🏼
I remember seeing this music video in theaters. I wanted so badly to join the national guard afterwards. Unfortunately found out I have some medical 'issues' that my dad said I wouldn't be able to join. (He was retired guard)

This video is making me want to the Army National Guard so I’ll do it so I’m gonna do it and because it’s my turn to serve I fired the shot that started a Nation I stormed the beach on Normandy I am an expert and a professional I will always place the mission first I will never accept defeat I will never leave a fallen comrade I stepped forward when the towers fell
I cringe at the fact that I used to enjoy this song as a kid. Taking a close look at the impact that US has made on vulnerable pockets of the world since WW2 makes me hope for a more equitable and peaceful world. One day, we can hopefully see ourselves as citizens of the globe and not just a fragment of it. Enough with the zero sum patriotism. It’s for thick headed and unimaginative bullies.

The director sounds familiar, didn't he direct Training Day and The Equalizer films?
Where and when was it filmed? I remember this playing before movies in theaters in 2007. I remember seeing it when I went to see I am Legend
NOW 13yrs later This is still hands down the best Recruitment song EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell its the best recruitment video in general, better than the garbage they have been trying to use in recent years.

A Citizen Solider has now been nominated to become the Secretary of Defense. A good choice to return the armed forces to their proper mission focus.
I still remember how hyped I'd get whenever I'd go see a movie with my parents and this started playing in the theaters.
God bless all the brave men and women who protect our country in every branch of the military!
As WE appreciate YOU
Much honor and respect to our esteemed Citizen Soldiers. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for holding the line against the enemies our great nation. Thank you for standing on the wall keeping us safe, so we can rest easy. God bless you all.
The patriot running amongst the canon fire is always the most memorable part for me.
Working on 9 years of service safety this song came out.

This video is making me want to the Army National Guard so I’ll do it so I’m gonna do it and because it’s my turn to serve
I fired the shot that started a Nation
I stormed the beach on Normandy
I am an expert and a professional
I will always place the mission first
I will never accept defeat
I will never leave a fallen comrade
I stepped forward when the towers fell
I created America through Time Travel. This is my nation. All of the guilty will be in prison by 2020.

We know you are sneaking around national guard. And this is why you’re a deadly force
The 155 was there
Why did you edit the video????
They probably got a super fat check to make a song that nobody listened to or joined because of
