Served as a line medic with 4th Infantry during the surge in Iraq. It's the toughest and most rewarding job in the world. Not a day passes I dont think about the guys I served with, those wounded, and those who didn't make it back home. God bless those who presently serve and our nations veterans.
@@markw4631Thank you. My nieces husband was there in 03 1-5 marines I have 38 yrs stateside public service. My son is a c-130 pilot … USMC vmgr 352. Taught him some skills to help you all out .. 2nd set of hands !!! Semper Fi 🇺🇸🏴☠️
I held the honor of that nickname. I appreciate this song. I know you probably get this kind of comment often, but I’m a female “Doc” veteran. I would love to honor my sisters by giving back too. Please consider it.
God bless all the men and women in our Armed Services. These men and women who take care of our wounded and dying deserve much more praise than they get. God bless them all for all they do and all they have to see. I know they do that service because they want to and it might be a thankless job but there are people like me thinking of you all!
I was air wing Marine but we humped some jungles back in the Vietnam era and Doc was always right there with us. I’ll forever admire & respect the Navy Corpsman! Thank u Doc wherever u may be.
Corpsman don't ask to be heroes they just do there job day in and day out and the corpsman try to save all and sometimes they can and can't but they are heroes and put there selfs In harms to rescue there men from combat. Thank to corpsman and medics.
Damn this song reminds me of that Hack saw ridge movie when The Medic Went in to save his brothers WITH OUT A GUN.BUT HES FAITH IN GOD R.I.P DESMOND THOMAS DOSS
Served 20 years in the Marine Corps. We loved our Corpsman/Medics!! They patched me up several times during my career and am honored for the job that they do for us in the fields of fire.
Being an infantry Marine 10 years ago, I was so grateful for my Corpsmen always being by our side, fighting alongside us, and taking care of us when things got bad. This song being dedicated to all the Corpsmen/Medics is absolutely well deserved. Love you guys!
Same here. Heard it first less than 24 hours ago and keep playing it back. This is a heavy song and should make everyone think hard about how and why we send these young men and women into harms way in the first place. God please watch over them.
I served in the Marine Corps and the army, we loved “Doc” and would always have his back. Sometimes doc has gotten me into more bar fights than I’ve gotten myself into, don’t mess with do. Don’t get confused with a FMF corpsman we and they consider him a Marine. We have another reunion in November and Doc is expected to be there after 30+ years
I had the honor of being doc for some of the bravest brothers and sisters a man could ever know...this both hurts and makes me proud at the same time...
U.S. Army, 68W Medic here.I just had to talk down a brother I was in Desert Storm with, 32 years later. He just got out of prison and was telling me how he thought about me whenever he was in trouble and wished I could still be there to save him again. I'm in tears even now. Thank you.
This songs get me every time..."when they ask of they're gonna make it. And you gotta lie" man talk about power in those lyrics. God bless all our soldiers, Airmen, Sailors and Marines who never made it home and God bless those "docs"
My father was a tunnel rat in Vietnam 70 to 71 i lost him to small cell lung cancer in Sept '16 I remember him telling me medic jobs where the hardest in his opinion cause when the fighting going on there out in the field worrying about saving you even under fire...
Been retired almost 10 years, HMC(FMF). Talk about motivational!!! Was the greatest honor of my life to be allowed to serve as a Navy Corpsman. First time I’ve ever heard this song, definitely won’t be the last!
In honor of you Dad, Harry " Doc " Ackerman,..I will forever miss your sweet, humbleness. You never once complained , yet your pain was immense. RIP my Daddy Hero. WW2, Veteran , you were , are THE VERY BEST! You had none of this modern equipment , you had love and your bare hands , as they screamed " am I gonna live?" So very proud to have had YOU as my very own Dad. Thank you for everything Dad , God has you now , and your pain is over ! Also thank you to my SIL , blown up in the Middle East . Thank you Fr Venenty Szymanski , my Uncle a Bronze Star Recipient. My Military family has my entire love and support.
To the best damn Corpsman / brother (Tim) a Marine could ever have asked for. You picked me up in Africa/Iraq/Afghanistan when I was leaving parts of my self in those countries and patched me up and made sure I could see my kids again. I love you brother . Semper FI!!!!!
I had served overseas and most song never had gotten to me until this one did. I don't talk about what I had been through but I tell you little. I lost my buddy overseas and has he was dying, I told him he was fine and he will make it, that he be going home. Then he slowly passed away. I try my best to compressed my feelings from the war and bothers I have lost but when this song played I was shaken to my core and broke down in tears. There was a lyrics that had to do something that all solders in combat had to do is provide comfort to your bother and lie to them, that they will be fine. I just had to share this to have some closure, without having to talk to someone directly this.
As a former doc from a long time ago, I cherish my memories of serving with my Marines and fellow docs. 8404 and proud of it. Semper Fi and Semper Fortis.
Lived this life for over 20 years. I'm very proud to have served the most amazing brave men and women the world has to offer. Love the song but some things I seen hurts still today, can't save everyone but can only try. I'm old and no longer called "doc" but I hope I did some good for the people I knew. Retired Ranger Medics lead the way!
3rd MarDiv Vietnam 68/69 and thank my Marines for working so hard to keep me alive so I could work so hard to keep you alive. We are a family that will never be divided. Semper Fi....Doc Finch
This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. I was a Surgical Medic in the Air Force from 83 to 87. This was during peace time, thank God. We were trained for this. But most of my time was served at the base hospital. I wish that I had never gotten out. I was young and stupid. Some of my friends never came home the same or didn't come home at all from Afghanistan and Iraq. It makes me cry, wishing I could have been there, not just for my friends but for all of my brothers. All of you who served or still serve there is a bond that only we know and feel in our bones. It makes me angry to think about the corrupt, self-serving, lying politicians that our soldiers have gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country & their home. Our home being destroyed from within. Currently today I'm watching these venomous snakes rip our country apart & sell us out to countries that despise us. We had a leader who cared for us and this country, and he fought like hell. Only to be slandered by the Fake News garbage media and attacked daily. We are on the brink of WWWIII with China & and Russia, and it didn't have to be like this. To all of the other Docs out there, we might soon be going back to work on our own soil.
Served at a Naval Hospital as security and deployed with Fleet Hospital 3 in Iraq in 2003. So much respect for the Navy Corpsmen, Doctors and Nurses I served with. Ran the overnight security shift for several months. People ask me what it was like and I tell them it's like the show M.A.S.H. with new tech. The entire command are heroes. We did not lose one single allied person who arrived alive. I look forward to seeing Aaron live November 9th in Norman Oklahoma. Huge fan of Staind and his solo stuff. It's my wifes birthday that night and seeing Aaron is my birthday present for her.
Retired Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman 23 yeras. Served with Recon and Force Recon and would do every day over if I could. The good and the bad. Love my brother Marines

I had the honor of serving as a corpsman under Reagan in the early 80s. Women weren't allowed in combat back then. I then served as a medic in the Air Force reserves and the Louisiana Army National Guard. I was inactive reserves and pregnant when they called to activate me in February of '91 and never went back. Ten years later, and I would've given anything for the opportunity to have served again. I saw Aaron Lewis in the Frayed At Both Ends concert earlier this year and downloaded this album that same night. I listened to it several times while doing things around the house and never noticed the lyrics to this song until earlier today while I was driving long distance. As soon as a heard "They call me doc", I knew it was about a corpsman. I had to over because it made me tear up. Marines call every other sailor a squid just as they call them grunts but, all Marines call every corpsman "doc". They're Devil Dogs and we're their Devil Docs. This song makes me even more honored than I feel every day to have served in such a respected rate....❤️🇺🇸
Never went to PI but, never had one Marine I served with ever make me feel like I wasn’t one of them. 8404 was the NEC I was proudest of. Thank you Marines for always making us devil docs feel like we were one of you!
Aaron Lewis, Vince Gill and Dan Tyminski- if you weren't already familiar with these names and their immense talent; maybe you are now! legends of music with good hearts!
I was old school 91B down range. I loved and hated every minute of it. This song brings out both sides of my soul in every way. Loved being Doc but hate the demons I drag around to this day.
nice song and done very well by Lewis, Gill, and Tyminski. US Navy Corpsman Quantico Naval Hospital, USS Independence, and 1/24th Marine Reserve Unit until 1986. Very proud to have been with the US Navy and Marine Corps. Just watched the last Corpsman to die in the 20 year war come home. Maxton Soviak HM3 Berlin Heights, OH . It was my duty.
Currently a medic in the Kentucky Army National Guard, and I love my job. I love my guys even more. It’s been some of the most valuable life lessons I have ever had the privilege of learning. The sheer veneration I hold for the medics who came before in a time where modern medicine was primitive at best, to those who served just a few years prior. Fort Sam Houston, A-232. Soldier Medic, Warrior Spirit.
Ed M. thanks for your friendship so many years ago and your service as a Navy Medic in Vietnam. It was good to know you and attending our Mountain Man Rendezvous together. 👋. 🇺🇸🪖🫡
This song gave me goose bumps. Even after being out of the navy for 21 years. Proud to be a retired Independent duty Corpsman “doc”…best job in the Navy.
Our little village was shook when we heard the news about Max. But we came together as our little village does. The support everyone is showing for Max Soviak is incredible. God bless our military and their families.
Someone asked me why they call me "Doc" instead of Doctor (I have a PhD now). Because, I say, I was a combat medic back in my day. That's like being half a doctor...but the best half. Being Doc to a bunch of blokes was the best work I ever did.
This song was created with a veteran through our foundation songwriting program. CreatiVets mission is to empower wounded veterans to heal through the arts and music. If you would like to make a donation or learn more about CreatiVets, please visit our website at: creativets.org
No matter what anyone says....Doc is a Marine...his uniform may say Navy but his actions are the most important part of the Marine Corps rifle squad. Thank you Doc for everything.
God Bless You for this wonderful song. Navy Veteran husband served 68-69 in Vietnam stationed in Chu Lai avionics tech worked along side Marine pilots to keep the A6s in the air. He's in home hospice due to cancer from Agent Orange exposure. I am his caretaker. I cried all the way to the grocery store hearing this song. He was in the Naval Hospital at Camp LeJune in September and the Corpsman treated him with respect and compassion. We learned that the cancer had returned now in his brain and spine. GOD BLESS ALL OUR LOYAL BEAUTIFUL VETERANS who gave it ALL for our country.
I'm not trying to take away from the song but credit also goes to Walker Mcguire, who sang this seven years ago(2013-2014) I love this song. it resonates with my soul. but give him a view too
Shit im a marine ret listening on 10 2024 and I'm crying remembering leaving my wife and kids on deployment and now she's passed almost 2 years ago and all I can think is how much I wish she were here for one more day.she was a great mother wife and grandmother. It's hard deploying leaving a family and then coming home and losing a spouse to a surgery. Semper fi til I die. 4 you laura.
I just heard about this program today. Late to the party again. I wish I had heard about it sooner. I'm a songwriter and a veteran of the conflict in Vietnam, former medic. I have started a song or two about my time there but never got past a few lines. I guess I could never bring myself to finish them. My dad was infantry in WWII, landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day and got a bronze star for his efforts. He never talked about it and my mother told me he was a changed man when he came home. He was very stoic, he never showed much emotion. When I was getting on the plane that would ultimately take me to Vietnam my whole family was at the airport. One by one we hugged and they wished me well. My father was the last to see me off. He hugged me like he had never done before and wouldn't let go. Then he started to sob almost uncontrollably. I thought "what the hell am I getting myself into". It didn't take more than 15 minutes from landing in country to find out. I just turned 75 this month. I'm a long way from my time in Nam both in distance and years. I am my father's son; I don't talk about my time there. For the good or the bad this song brought it all back and I found myself crying like a baby. This is the song I tried to write. Yeah, we saw it all and it will forever be a part of who and what we are. I remember so many faces, most of who's names I never knew. I never saw any of those I served with after coming home. We never exchanged Christmas cards or phone calls, never showed each other pictures of our kids or gathered for reunion picnics. But they all, every one, were, and forever will be, my brothers.
Ah crap I got choked up and a little teary eyed here at work. Thank you to all of you who have sacrificed and suffered and bled and saved lives. America owes you a huge debt of gratitude

I agree with you.Retired Ranger medic old school 91 Bravo.
My brother is in the army and is being deployed soon and is a dr. God bless them all
nice song and done very well by Lewis, Gill, and Tyminski. US Navy Corpsman Quantico Naval Hospital, USS Independence, and 1/24th Marine Reserve Unit until 1986.
Very proud to have been with the US Navy and Marine Corps. Just watched the last Corpsman to die in the 20 year war come home. Maxton Soviak HM3 Berlin Heights, OH .
It was my duty.
Currently a medic in the Kentucky Army National Guard, and I love my job. I love my guys even more. It’s been some of the most valuable life lessons I have ever had the privilege of learning.
The sheer veneration I hold for the medics who came before in a time where modern medicine was primitive at best, to those who served just a few years prior.

Ed M. thanks for your friendship so many years ago and your service as a Navy Medic in Vietnam. It was good to know you and attending our Mountain Man Rendezvous together. 👋. 🇺🇸🪖🫡
I loved my Medics. We had THE best medics in battalion. They were very UNCOMMON.
This song gave me goose bumps. Even after being out of the navy for 21 years. Proud to be a retired Independent duty Corpsman “doc”…best job in the Navy.
My goal is to one day leave a comment like yours ❤️ thank you
Thank you for your service Sir!!
Oorah. Semper Fi!! Corpsman up!!
26 years devil doc ❤
Thank you Doc
My husband was a recon corpsman. Retired after 30 years. Love my Jay Baker. ❤️
Hero’s of many wars, there’s a lot here because of them! Nothing better when a brother needs help, & someone who will die to save you! Highest Honor!!
I served along side theses heroes…
Respect✊🏼
Godspeed ‼️
Our little village was shook when we heard the news about Max. But we came together as our little village does. The support everyone is showing for Max Soviak is incredible. God bless our military and their families.
May Devil Doc Soviak rest easy. God bless his soul!
I'm called Doc in my MC Red Kninght
No one seems to get it . Thanks medics and Corpsman!
Was a 68W before I reclassed. This hits home so hard it stops you cold.
Someone asked me why they call me "Doc" instead of Doctor (I have a PhD now). Because, I say, I was a combat medic back in my day. That's like being half a doctor...but the best half. Being Doc to a bunch of blokes was the best work I ever did.
God Bless America 🇺🇸 💯 ❤

Incredible song! Touching. What a great tribute to some unsung heroes.
No matter what anyone says....Doc is a Marine...his uniform may say Navy but his actions are the most important part of the Marine Corps rifle squad. Thank you Doc for everything.
My wife was an 8404 FMF HM1 Corpsman before being selected for an MSC commission.
They called me medic until I earned the title Doc. This Doc is from bluegrass Kentucky.

God Bless You for this wonderful song. Navy Veteran husband served 68-69 in Vietnam stationed in Chu Lai avionics tech worked along side Marine pilots to keep the A6s in the air. He's in home hospice due to cancer from Agent Orange exposure. I am his caretaker. I cried all the way to the grocery store hearing this song. He was in the Naval Hospital at Camp LeJune in September and the Corpsman treated him with respect and compassion. We learned that the cancer had returned now in his brain and spine. GOD BLESS ALL OUR LOYAL BEAUTIFUL VETERANS who gave it ALL for our country.
Still active duty combat medic here, this song makes me cry just thinking about all the shit I’ve seen and had to do.
Thank You , God Bless You And Stay Safe. Ret Medic out
Almost 6 years after hearing this for the first time... and it still brings me to tears. Incredible work everyone!
The person that wrote this is my cousin
Same, Jenn! 💚
@@jonathanhinkle8931 Walker wrote a hell of a song. As a Corpsman myself, I've always appreciated it.
Tylenol and water babyyy y’all are the best
I'm not trying to take away from the song but credit also goes to Walker Mcguire, who sang this seven years ago(2013-2014) I love this song. it resonates with my soul. but give him a view too
I give thanks to all the men and women in the military
Too all my Brothers and Sisters maintain the good fight against the Reaper.
If you all could look up Walker McGuire! Not sure why he didn’t get credit for this song? Since he put it out over 3 years ago!
Shit im a marine ret listening on 10 2024 and I'm crying remembering leaving my wife and kids on deployment and now she's passed almost 2 years ago and all I can think is how much I wish she were here for one more day.she was a great mother wife and grandmother. It's hard deploying leaving a family and then coming home and losing a spouse to a surgery. Semper fi til I die. 4 you laura.
I just heard about this program today. Late to the party again. I wish I had heard about it sooner. I'm a songwriter and a veteran of the conflict in Vietnam, former medic. I have started a song or two about my time there but never got past a few lines. I guess I could never bring myself to finish them. My dad was infantry in WWII, landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day and got a bronze star for his efforts. He never talked about it and my mother told me he was a changed man when he came home. He was very stoic, he never showed much emotion. When I was getting on the plane that would ultimately take me to Vietnam my whole family was at the airport. One by one we hugged and they wished me well. My father was the last to see me off. He hugged me like he had never done before and wouldn't let go. Then he started to sob almost uncontrollably. I thought "what the hell am I getting myself into". It didn't take more than 15 minutes from landing in country to find out.
I just turned 75 this month. I'm a long way from my time in Nam both in distance and years. I am my father's son; I don't talk about my time there. For the good or the bad this song brought it all back and I found myself crying like a baby. This is the song I tried to write. Yeah, we saw it all and it will forever be a part of who and what we are. I remember so many faces, most of who's names I never knew. I never saw any of those I served with after coming home. We never exchanged Christmas cards or phone calls, never showed each other pictures of our kids or gathered for reunion picnics. But they all, every one, were, and forever will be, my brothers.
From Rubidoux to the field to Brookings Or. and in between. Around parts of the world. My Family was Always their.God Bless AMERICA!!!
Ah crap I got choked up and a little teary eyed here at work. Thank you to all of you who have sacrificed and suffered and bled and saved lives. America owes you a huge debt of gratitude
I will join the air force when im older and this song is amazing
I loved this.
