Thank your for your service, and please thank your Wife & your son, for their service as well. It may not seem much to others that some random person says this, but I do NOT think we could ever thank our vets enough. God bless Your family & to ALL those who are or have served our country, thank you all.
@Ty in NH I hope your son is safe and likes whatever he does in army. Experience can be very hard if you don't feel part of that battalion or haven't found your own specialty inside army's wide range of jobs. And again, Thank you to all the soldiers, whether they are in home or abroad.
I am a formerly homeless vet. NEVER apologize for your emotional reaction to this song. Knowing that there are people out there like yourself that care is part of what got me back on track.
Thank you for your heart felt reaction: I am a Veteran! A Veteran is someone, who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including, their life. Regardless of personal political views, that is an Honor and there are way too many people in this country who no longer remember that fact.
God bless you man and thanks for your service from my hearth. My son is a US Marines and i thank God everyday for keep him safe. But i pray for all other that not safe and families. God bless this great nation of United States of America and all military peoples and families.
USMC vet. 2 tours in Iraq. I've watched that video dozens of times and I still tear up every time because I've seen friends like that and I've BEEN the men in the video. thx for your words!!!
I’m a combat vet, I lost my family and everything I ever cared about… haven’t given up and don’t plan on it… rather have tears in my eyes instead of worms and dirt… don’t give up brothers keep fighting
Harsh truth, and much respect. Warriors are out there getting wounded because they are hurt, or because they have to hurt, or because of their fellow soldiers who get hurt. Can't really come out of it without wounds of some sort.
There's also no such thing as a just war or a clean war. The worse part about how U$ veterans are treated is that they fought for corporate profits and the corporations don't spend a dime to help them.
@@ireallyreallyhategoogle Just stop. Your type is not welcome in my comment threads. Nations are built on money. It is a necessary evil. The US would be a shithole if we didn't defend our financials around the world. You may not like it but we never asked you to participate. Just shut up and let our nation's brave volunteers deal with their own choices.
@@ireallyreallyhategoogle Although there is the occasional(rare) necessary war, though to quote Tyr's "Hall of Freedom": "war is the only way, evil and unfair."
Lost my son to an IED in Afghanistan 3 weeks after I retired from a 35 year career. 5FDP was his favorite group. This song and video breaks my heart every time I hear it.
Girl you cried for these men and women and that earns you a ton of respect from me. These men and women don't get enough love and compassion so don't apologize for being emotional. It means a ton.
I served 5 tours over seas. I stuggle with PTSD. I have Jesus, my wife and a good therapist to help through this. My kids saw the change in me before combat and after. For the longest time I couldn't listen to this song without balling my eyes out because it's exactly how I felt. Thank you for the comments you're one of the best reactions yet I seen on this song. Tell your dad we are all damn proud of him!!!
Give your dad a hug and tell him you love him. We don't do that often enough nowadays. And don't be sorry for showing emotion, it's what makes us human. Thanks for supporting us 💛
My dad left when i was 3 so my mum is the one i look up to most in my life tge amount of stuff she went through and still managed to bring up 5 of us is something i find amazing
Two important points to add to this video: 1) Remember that those suicide numbers don't include veterans who die because of addictions which sprung from their service-related issues. And which is yet another thing that's difficult if not impossible to get help for through the VA. 2) Note that every single time one of the soldiers/veterans in the music video received any form of help, it was from another soldier/veteran. The combat scene, the police officer who notices the unit tattoo, the veteran who literally picks his brother in arms up off the street in the end. That's not too far off the truth.
definitely not far from the truth. The VA is there to deny the benefits earned and it is up to the 3rd party organizations to battle for the Veteran, i.e DAV, VFW, Am Legion etc.
I think part of the reason for the help coming from other soldiers, is that they are the only ones who understand what that person went through. And the general public who isn’t in the military can’t understand that pain. Like for example, after Vietnam, which drafted teenagers who just got out of school, they came back to being shamed and harassed by the general public for doing their jobs, which was mostly not a job by choice, rather than being listened to and being cared for. The people who go to war, will even tell you war is not pretty and it puts a toll on them, one that probably will never get fixed or go away
@@alechamilton1864 You are exactly correct! We know what no one who hasn't served, knows. Sometimes, if you take the worst nightmare you have ever experienced and multiply that by 100, that is how bad it gets, and sometimes nightly, daily, weekly, ...forever!
FFDP is my all time favorite band. I love the fact that they bring the issues that our veterans face to the forefront. I want to thank EVERYONE who has served. Thank you all.
I don’t have any connection to the US, the military or a veteran. But seeing this video gives me tears every time. The scene in the end is what gets me because its just so powerful.
One of the greatest quotes in my opinion comes from General Douglas McArthur. It reads: "A soldier, above all else, prays for peace; for he must bear the deepest wounds and scars of war."
@@doormouse2994 this video has everything do with US soldiers. The whole video and all the statistics are all about US soldiers, but yes the message can apply to any solider.
I'm a 59 year old grown man. I am German, not US American. But I cry with you; I cry every time I see this video or hear the song! I did my compulsory term in 81/82, part of it on a tank shooting range in Manitoba, Canada. I was lucky I didn't have to fight in a war, yet. But I am also doing international development aid work for more than 30 years now; I did repeatedly work with ISAF troops in Afghanistan in 2002 to 2004 (which was an easier time than later), and I am covering Iraq now. I got shot at in Afghanistan, and I had the Blackwater guys poke their guns at me as well (fortunately they did ask before they pulled the trigger). So I have at least a glimpse what it means to do this job. And I know that while in Germany the situation isn't as bad as in the US, veterans here and everywhere else in Europe experience similar issues. I was passively involved in a tank shooting accident while stationed in Canada, which resulted in partial hearing loss in my right ear. Upon discharge at the end of my service a couple of months later, I was bluntly told to sign that I was fine again. I was 20 then, university was waiting and I signed. Nothing compared to what is shown in the video, but yes, this is a fact and it is a shame! For the US, for Germany, for every damn bloody country that treats their service women and men as a dispensable resource in a game of power.
As a Vet who was stationed in your magnificent nation for six years, I got to meet many of your troops and work with them. I never bumped into them while I was in Iraq or Afghanistan, but I give you respect for what you wrote. You're on point.
@@briangreen9677 Cheers mate, I was a Medic in the German Army down in the Algäu, I know the horrors that accure, respect to all my brothers in arms, which ever nation you are from, you are never alone, and if you have troubles, dont be afraid o reach out !
@@briangreen9677 All NATO countries contributed troops to ISAF. NATO actually took command of the mission in 2003. My job was to assist in rebuilding key government institutions (funded by the Asian Development Bank) and support Provincial Reconstruction Teams in selected small projects. For that purpose, I had two teams on the ground, and did missions myself. The PRT were multi-national. As for the German army, they were stationed in the Northern Provinces. If I remember correctly, they took over a US camp in Kunduz in 01/2004 and later in the year one in Faizabad.
I'm a Australian Veteran and first time l have heard this song. Wooooow, lots of tears and memories. Divorved , living in the middle of the bush on 5 acres which l love as lm not a people person, l find my animals love me more, thats why l keep to myself. Thank you for playing this ❤
Keep it up! Remember there are people out there that are truly grateful for what you went through! There is always a light at the end of the tunnel even if all you can see is darkness at the time!
Never give up Jorge, it may not always seem like it, but there are those of us out here who only want the best for our service men & women... I wish you Godspeed, and I hope I get the chance to say that in person, one of these days...
This video hits like a freight train. As a vet that has lost a couple of buddies to their inner demons, I respect and appreciate 5FDP for bringing attention to a very important issue. To all the other vets that posted, thank you for your service and to our host, thank you for your fantastically sincere reaction.
As a veteran of the UK Arny this song hits hard, I'm proud of serving my country and fighting to defend our cousin's across the pond , yet I still struggle with PTSD and coming to terms with some of the things I did is hard... great reaction and big respect to your dad for his service and my American cousins who defend their family and country xx
Bless you did you have to shoot a shepperd in flip flops who took up arms with an American weapon? Feel for his family more than yours, you had a choice they didn't.
USMC veteran here. I was a grunt/infantry. This song hit me hard when it came out. Listening to it now brought back memories of when I was transitioning to civilian life in the early 2000s. My family didn't understand what I was going through. I was eventually hated, considered "broken", and deemed a failure. To this day, I've kept my distance, whether emotionally or physically, from them. I'd likely be homeless too had it not been for good friends who were also veterans. My few good friends helped guide me to stay on the right path. Last year, I retired early from the W2 workforce. A fellow veteran told me about investing my money on assets several years back. Thank God I met him. Semper Fi and God bless to all the veterans out there trying to find their way in civilian life.
I'm a disabled veteran with PTSD (and a lot of other problems). This video always makes me thankful that my wife has stood by me when most would have abandoned me (like I deserved).
Nobody and I mean NOBODY deserves to be abandoned after commiting one of the biggest sacrifice a person can make. You are a warrior and will always be. You have an amazing partner and you should be honored for what you've done, not abandoned.
Sir... with ALL RESPECT.... there is no way you could deserve to be abandoned!! NO Way! I sincerely hope you feel loved EVERY DAY! Thank you for your service.
please make sure that your PTSD is the correct diagnosis, which it might be. But make sure its not a misdiagnosed case of mefloquine-induced toxicity. mefloquine is a malaria drug that was widely prescribed by all branches of the military. It mimics PTSD, but it's treatment is different.
40k subscribers when this came out a year ago, closing in on 300k now. Also, thank you for taking the time to watch this video and really reflect on its meaning, it’s a truly powerful song that doesn’t seem to get the recognition it deserves.
19 year wounded Army veteran here. First, never apologize for your emotions, it's amazing there are still wonderful people in this world. Second, to all my brothers and sisters out there, if you need help, please reach out to someone for help. I know what you're going through, I lost everything from my service, wife, kids, home, everything so please reach out if you need help. I don't want to lose any more of you and Thank you for your service and I LOVE you all.
You are the First person to shed a tear in these reaction Videos.. This is a tough song and people need to worry more about our Vets and Homless then letting other people come in here. If we cant protect our own soldiers,, we failed. Thanks for the Video.. And I appcriciate your pure sadness.. I wish all people in this Country had your empathy and sadness for our Protectors. As the saying goes. ALL GAVE SOME, BUT SOME GAVE ALL..
The black dude at the end was saying "Bill, Bill, it's me Jacoby. You saved my life brother." I'm a Viet Nam vet and lost so many of my brothers over there. So many of us who made it back, never really came home. So many of us turned to drugs or alcohol or ate the barrel of a gun. When we came home, we were met by protesters spitting on us and calling us baby killers. Even our own government wanted to just sweep us under the rug and pretend that we didn't exist. To all my brothers from Nam, and to all my brothers who came afterward, you aren't alone, I've got your back.
Im an Iraq and Afghanistan vet and something i heard a few months ago, cant remember who said it but was if you see a vietnam vet was to go up shake their hand and say welcome home. So im saying to you is welcome home brother.
@@roguemerlin1969 As a Brit I cant really say welcome home but I respect all the sacrifices you and your brothers in arms made, you did not deserve the 'welcome' you got coming home, I wish you well for the future.
I don't cry except for when it comes to veterans. When that veteran said to the other one "You saved my life brother!" I cried like a baby. Thank you to all who have served, or currently serving. Your service and sacrifice for your country is beyond appreciated by your fellow patriots. ❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️
No matter how many times I see this I can’t hold back the tears. I worried everytime my brother deployed and beyond grateful he returned home safe. My heart and respect goes out to every service member in every branch and their families. What a lot of people don’t know is what the family goes through not only watching their spouse leave but the children having to say goodbye each time. Or the countless times I’ve seen them move to new countries, new states, with each new assignment. A heart felt thank you and so much appreciation to every single service member out there, we can never do enough to repay what you do for all of us.
I was waiting for you to react to this song. As a vet I have been homeless, not so much due to my service, but it is hard. I was blessed an organization took me in and helped me to get to a place where I could succeed. Props to FFDP, Thank you for reacting as it brings this back and relevant as it is still a problem.
I've been there too brother... I'm thankful that the Volunteers of America stepped up to help me get back up and headed in the right direction. Now I have a wonderful wife that holds me while I cry in my sleep, and a beautiful son that greets me at the door with arms open every single time I come home (even if I was only outside mowing grass lol). We only have each other that knows and understands, so lean on us as we lean on you. "No man left behind"
Tell you dad i said thank you for his service in the military as i have many past and present people that either served or went thru boot camp !! Much love to all the men and women that was/is part of our armed forces!! ❤️👊👍
Never apologize for your reaction, whether it’s emotional or not. Never apologize for showing your emotions. ❤️ While I don’t have a link with the military, I can imagine the pain and disbelief. I can’t listen to this song with dry eyes.
Dammit. This song gets me every time. Not a huge Five Finger Death Punch fan these days but they do have good songs about military and first responders. Gone Away, Blue on black are a couple other goodies.
@@theplaguepadart3743 Agreed. That video deals with the worst survivor's guilt you could imagine. Their video for "coming down" smashes you right in the beginning, dealing with bullying & suicide. They've made some seriously powerful videos about huge subjects.
I'm active duty Army and I wanna say songs hits me all the time, there a old saying we say "the solider above all prays for peace,for its the solider who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds & scars of war." Much appreciated definitely got a new fallower😊
Thank you for your raw and heartfelt reaction. After 26 years of service this song screams what many service men and women have endured outside the view of society. If you liked this one I would recommend checking out "Coming Down" and "The Tragic Truth" by 5FDP.
I don't care how many times I've watched this music video it still brings a tear to my eye. Just remember we veterans aren't taught to seek out help or to even open up. Be patient with us. We didn't get like this over night and the solution wont happen that quickly either. Never give up brothers.
Aileen, from all of your supporters thank your dad from us to him for his service and thanks for sharing your story. Much love from the biggest naval base in the world
As a vet, I've always loved this song, especially the video. It is one hell of an emotional ride. The three points that either put me at the edge of tears, or just absolutely set me crying: the part with the flower, the part with the forearm tattoos, and the two reuniting. It's powerful, and thank you very much for doing this one.
I am a retired vet, when I first seen this video I shared your reaction. It literally broke me as well. How vets get treated really pisses me off. I love your kind heart. It is the main thing that pulled me into your page. Keep up the good work.
These videos hit hard. I'm a now disabled vet and if it wasn't for my wife sticking next to me in the lowest parts and pushing me to get the help I needed... Hell I don't even want to think about it. Support our Vets Support our Troops. You are all my Brothers and Sisters and so much love to you all..
@jaydirico6191 53 minutes ago 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!
From a Veteran....thank you SO MUCH for doing this. And sharing this. The feels are real and raw with this one. FFDP is a huge supporter of our troops, and have a couple other great songs similar to this theme. Thanks again, and much love. Hooah
First I would like to say thank you to your father, my brother for his service. As a veteran with 23 years I feel everybody who has served or is currently serving are my brothers and sisters. Thank you for opening up to us and showing your emotions. First time seeing your channel and all I request is for you never lose that compassion🌹🙏⛩
I spent 4 year homeless after my service but in kuck met another vet and now became a caretaker for a senior vet. Thank youbfor this video and your whole hearted emotions.
I'm a veteran, when I first heard this song, and wasted the video, five finger death punch became my favorite band - all time favorite. Thank you, not only for covering this video on your channel but the wonderful things you said after. Much love and respect to your dad, your his greatest artwork and life him your leading by example. I subscribed and hit the bell 🔔
I don’t think I’ve ever seen your heart rate go that high. After listening to this song and watching this video probably over 100 times I still get emotional. This is seriously one of the most emotionally heavy songs/music videos ever created.
I love reaction channels, but, as a 12 year Combat Vet- 3 Middle East tours. May i please say that watching you react to this emotionally, warms my hardened heart , to know that there are still people that care and feel our pain. Or at least acknowledge it. I struggle with PTSD and suicide daily, and take my life 1 day at a time, but would do it all again... Thank You, Aileen...
🫡 no matter how illegal Iraq was, America and my country of Britain despite failing to bring stability removed one of the most vile people on the planet, you all served your country well, respect to you all
Thank you for reacting to this from all of us who served and deal with the nightmares and bad dreams daily. To my fellow veterans, stay strong you're not alone.
I am a vet myself and I just have to say the emotion you showed was so pure I could feel it through the video. Thank you for bringing light to this subject. Please tell your dad that I would like to thank him for his service. Thank you for your support Aileen it means a lot to see and hear people that care this much. I wish you the best.
I'm a vet, deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan both, sustained combat throughout, and this music vid is on point but keep in mind, the stats have all grown as this was recorded a number of years ago....
Wow.... My son is in the military and has been away for 3 years now. You don't know how much this affected me just now. A dad sitting at the kitchen table at 1am, thinking about his son and crying. How'd I get here. Thank you for supporting our veterans
@@armondojimenez1601 thank you for politely disagreeing. This wasn't a veterans song, if you want that then watch their wrong Side of Heaven Righteous Side of Hell Video. The original has great visuals and is talking about someone that has passed away. They just turned it into another war song, which it was meant to be, that is why their original song they wrote has more power than this. Thanks for the input
As a va nurse I understood that treating their minds and hearts was just as important as treating their bodies. A soldier can withstand immense physical pain and discomfort it's a part of their training and conditioning but the mental pain catches them off guard when the adrenaline stops.
I took alot of the guys sky diving since I'm qualified for tandem jumps. Its important to find a new way to get the adrenaline highs boredom can be the enemy
Thank you Tina for your service and thank you for what you are saying. After an "accident" while I was serving in the army, they fixed my body but I still healing my soul myself.
@@jannawalany5942 thank you for your service! It's an honor assisting with repairs. I didn't have the honor of being infantry like I wanted due to being deaf so I wanted to find a way to make a difference in some form.
This is my first time ever seeing her and I cannot help but feel a sweet presents She just seems like a genuinely soft meek quiet woman but yet strong with courage nurturing heart God bless you I hardly see women like this nowadays God bless all veterans everywhere I will support them every way I can With out them there is no America
Idk who you are but YOU ARE AN ANGEL! I'm a Veteran myself and have had my own struggles and have had close battle buddies take their lives. I'm not nor have I ever been at that point but you opened a new door for me concerning my mental health. I will definitely look at further treatment. It's going that you're showing everyone YOUR vision from the outside looking in. You really are doing a great thing. Your Dad is a very lucky father. Thank him and you for his service and what you're doing!
I do love this band. My hardcore metal friends crap all over them. But they do a lot for our service members with videos like this and going overseas multiple times to perform for our troops. I can not ignore that. As a soldier that deployed to Iraq three times and and now in the Army Reserves I will not ignore efforts by people who try to spread awareness that myself and countless others of my brothers and sisters have been going through. Keep it up and can’t wait for this reaction.
A lot of people do shit on this band because most of their music is good but not great musically. And its true their music (with a few exceptions) is pretty unimpressive compared to some other bands in the space. However you cant deny that they are doing amazing work on using their platform to help others, and for that alone they have my respect
love 5fdp as well. Amny crap on them. I dont care. I love sabaton too and every say they are cringe. But they tell history. make stories and heros live on for ever in their music. And as you said what 5fdp does for service men are amazing. Sabaton help rescue a dying WW1 musem. All respect to vets, 5fdp
I hope you realize you aren't fighting for any kind of greater good or to defend the U$ or its citizens. The way U$ corporations treat the veterans who fought for their profits is appalling.
You have nothing to be sorry for Aileen... To this day I literally cannot hear or listen to taps without breaking down, as I was one of the pallbearers for my grandfather, a WWII Army vet, and just hearing it breaks my heart every time, as I think about all the other vets I grew up listening to and idolizing... The fact that there are so many young men and women who are often discarded by our country after their sacrifices... I can't begin to understand it... I for one was joining you in those tears, as I have many close friends that are scarred by various traumas and such... And many friends who haven't come home at all...
As a disabled vet from a family full veterans, I wish everyone in the country has to watch and listen to this. Thank you Miss Senpai for featuring this song and video. The VA is a mess in most places and most vets don't even know the services they are able to get help from. Thank you. Five Finger death punch is one of my favorites, they have created many songs that have hard and sad truth to them but still manage to give you hope in the end.
Another thing that is not spoken about: A lot of us vets, me included, already had been through hell before we went in. Many of us were trying to escape the fire by jumping into another one. I am fortunate that I made it to today. In all reality I should not be here but I am thankful that I can be.
God bless our Military and Five Finger Death Punch for the awareness they bring and all the help and support they provide for our service men and women 🙏
Never be sorry for your TRUE EMOTIONS. That is one of the reasons I subscribed. THANK YOU for ALLLLLLLLL of our military. I appreciate what you are doing. ❤
I stumbled across a few of your videos and love your energy and reactions great song and thank you to all veterans you all are greatly appreciated and loved 😊
I am a Vet, this hits very close to home for me, as I suffer from PTSD, As the saying goes, "All gave some, some gave all" you are such a beautiful, warm, caring, loving person! Thank You for reacting.
Thank You for doing this reaction. Your empathy is shown in your tears, and your sincerity shown in your physical reaction. As a Disabled Veteran, this video hits in so many ways, so much mental chaos between the self and the idea of self, the expectation of the outside and the reality of life, but seeing a Veteran's daughter show so much pride in their father, and knowing he was able to build a life to earn such, makes this world a better place from which to rest in as that is what is hoped for with the sacrifice... that brother and sister next to us, their dreams and aspirations, their family, just as they did for those next to them. Give your dad a hug, remind him of how proud of him you are, let him know how proud we are of him and thanks for his service. Don't you ever stop feeling, none of us are made of stone, it is our empathy that makes us great.
This is an amazing and beautiful song, with a very important message. I'm not American, but I have a tremendous amount of respect for any veteran who served their country, and it breaks my heart to see anyone treated this way, let alone a veteran.
I did numerous tours to Afghanistan and Iraq and this song always tears my heart into pieces. But seeing someone from outside the military so affected by it shows me there is at least one person out there who gives a s***. Thanks for being so bold and honest.
There are more of us than you think there are. Many honor the dead that have lived and gave their souls for the glory of their home. Many will never forget that the fires of war claim more than the dead. The fires leave scars on all who endure the worst atrocity that man can do to man…war. These scars, some are physical and others can’t be seen. But that doesn’t make them any less real and gripping for the families and the vets who have served. For everyone when doesn’t give a shit, who makes you think that the world has locked you in the vault of your own mind, tossed you aside like the leaves from the tree that is society when the turbulence of wind that is suffering rocks it, trying to catch and cast adrift whoever it can. Just know, there are many more out there who will never forget what you have done. Who honor those who have fallen and stand strong shoulder to shoulder to help those who have served rise from their depths of pain and despair. We are here. We are watching. We are thankful. And we are never forgetting.
Don't worry about being emotional when listening to music. Everyone has their various things that they react strongly to. I remember breaking down completely when I watched the video to Spiritbox's Constance simply because it hit close to home for me. I was bawling like a baby. This hits very differently. I've spent a year as a conscript but was never on active duty afterward so I've always felt a very faint connection to people who've served in the military. However, I can strongly sympathize with their PTSD. I'm currently seeing a shrink in order to find out if I have it myself after some less-than-pleasant things in my past. It is...not easy to live with. Luckily I have my stuff in some kind of order and am not in any risk of ending up on the street, but I can definitely see how people could end up there without any help. Anyway. I'm not a huge fan of FFDP as a band but I can respect what they're doing with songs like this.
A lot of their songs touch on things NEED to be talked about but most people are too afraid to do so. Five Finger Death Punch: "Coming Down" is a perfect example of this.
I want to say thank you for your video. This song is very emotional for me. Me and my fellow brothers and sisters, in the military. It shows how we go through daily bases in life after we served
As the son of a Vietnam veteran, this song hits so hard for me. It truly encapsulates what our veterans went through during the 70’s as well as in the 90’s-20’s
A song that touches EVERYONE that knows it, this is a powerful song from 5FDP and it was my wife’s fathers favorite song. We lost him to cancer, a former military man, THANK YOU TO ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO GIVE THEIR LIVES FOR OUR COUNTRY 🌹🇺🇸 This band is so much more than music, what they stand for and how the support our troops truly makes them legendary IMO #KNUCKLEHEAD #5FDP
First and foremost, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU ! To all our service members. If any of you out there watching this are veterans and you need help, I got your six.
I truly appreciate you doing this song … I’m a 30 year retired disabled veteran and it truly means lot that you did this song!! Our Veterans deserve so much more than our country provides for them after their service. It’s disheartening that any vet have to suffer in anyway. Much, much ❤️
As a combat veteran this song always hits home it's a harsh reality that most of us deal with internally because of the things we've seen or done in the name of "freedom"
I'm a vet. My wife is a disabled vet and our son currently serves in the US Army. Thank you for this.
thank you for your service!!
Your entire family is AWESOME! Thank you!
I'm a disabled vet as well, thank you and your family for their service
Thank your for your service, and please thank your Wife & your son, for their service as well.
It may not seem much to others that some random person says this, but I do NOT think we could ever thank our vets enough.
God bless Your family & to ALL those who are or have served our country, thank you all.
@Ty in NH I hope your son is safe and likes whatever he does in army. Experience can be very hard if you don't feel part of that battalion or haven't found your own specialty inside army's wide range of jobs. And again, Thank you to all the soldiers, whether they are in home or abroad.
I am a formerly homeless vet. NEVER apologize for your emotional reaction to this song. Knowing that there are people out there like yourself that care is part of what got me back on track.
Glad you got your feet back under you, brother. Keep pushing forward.
Much love brother!
Thank you for your service.
Wouldn't be a great country without you and the men that served with you, god bless u all and thank you.
Praying for you brother
Thank you for your heart felt reaction:
I am a Veteran!
A Veteran is someone, who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including, their life. Regardless of personal political views, that is an Honor and there are way too many people in this country who no longer remember that fact.
God bless you man and thanks for your service from my hearth. My son is a US Marines and i thank God everyday for keep him safe. But i pray for all other that not safe and families. God bless this great nation of United States of America and all military peoples and families.
FACTS so few understand this well versed statement..SEMPER FI
Fact!
USMC vet. 2 tours in Iraq. I've watched that video dozens of times and I still tear up every time because I've seen friends like that and I've BEEN the men in the video. thx for your words!!!
I’m a combat vet, I lost my family and everything I ever cared about… haven’t given up and don’t plan on it… rather have tears in my eyes instead of worms and dirt… don’t give up brothers keep fighting
I am so sorry, please stay strong
I hear you Brother. Reach out if you need support. You are not alone. We have to take care of each other. Semper Fi Grunt J
Never forget that its ok to ask for help when you need it. Were all human after all.
I can’t begin to imagine that pain. My prayers are with you! Thank you!
I struggle to find any meaningful reason to not give up sometimes ya know?
As a vet, I agree with a statement I heard a long time ago. "There's no such thing as an un-wounded warrior".
Harsh truth, and much respect. Warriors are out there getting wounded because they are hurt, or because they have to hurt, or because of their fellow soldiers who get hurt. Can't really come out of it without wounds of some sort.
There's also no such thing as a just war or a clean war.
The worse part about how U$ veterans are treated is that they fought for corporate profits and the corporations don't spend a dime to help them.
@@ireallyreallyhategoogle Just stop. Your type is not welcome in my comment threads. Nations are built on money. It is a necessary evil. The US would be a shithole if we didn't defend our financials around the world. You may not like it but we never asked you to participate. Just shut up and let our nation's brave volunteers deal with their own choices.
Thank you for your service
@@ireallyreallyhategoogle Although there is the occasional(rare) necessary war, though to quote Tyr's "Hall of Freedom": "war is the only way, evil and unfair."
Lost my son to an IED in Afghanistan 3 weeks after I retired from a 35 year career.
5FDP was his favorite group. This song and video breaks my heart every time I hear it.
Sending love ❤
Semper fi to you and your son sir. 🫡
Love my brother in arms I hate we lost another one and praying for you and your family
Condolences to you sir.
Thank you and your son for your service.
When you have grown men crying while watching this it's a powerful message.
I watch this video one or two times a month, im a navy retiree, i cry every time .
Girl you cried for these men and women and that earns you a ton of respect from me. These men and women don't get enough love and compassion so don't apologize for being emotional. It means a ton.
I served 5 tours over seas. I stuggle with PTSD. I have Jesus, my wife and a good therapist to help through this. My kids saw the change in me before combat and after. For the longest time I couldn't listen to this song without balling my eyes out because it's exactly how I felt. Thank you for the comments you're one of the best reactions yet I seen on this song. Tell your dad we are all damn proud of him!!!
Thank you for your service.
Same here brother. I to struggle, I find my peace outdoors.
From one veteran to another... may our Father in heaven bless you and keep you, and may his grace and mercy follow you always...
Give your dad a hug and tell him you love him. We don't do that often enough nowadays. And don't be sorry for showing emotion, it's what makes us human. Thanks for supporting us 💛
Driving up north just to see my dad tonight! I will give him the biggest hug
I’m so glad to hear you guys needed that, I’m gonna give my dad a hug for all he has done for me
My dad left when i was 3 so my mum is the one i look up to most in my life tge amount of stuff she went through and still managed to bring up 5 of us is something i find amazing
Thank you for your service.
Two important points to add to this video:
1) Remember that those suicide numbers don't include veterans who die because of addictions which sprung from their service-related issues. And which is yet another thing that's difficult if not impossible to get help for through the VA.
2) Note that every single time one of the soldiers/veterans in the music video received any form of help, it was from another soldier/veteran. The combat scene, the police officer who notices the unit tattoo, the veteran who literally picks his brother in arms up off the street in the end. That's not too far off the truth.
definitely not far from the truth. The VA is there to deny the benefits earned and it is up to the 3rd party organizations to battle for the Veteran, i.e DAV, VFW, Am Legion etc.
Vets helping vets seems to be the only way it works. Politicians only seem to kiss our ass long enough to win another election.
All those numbers are also just for the U$.
I think part of the reason for the help coming from other soldiers, is that they are the only ones who understand what that person went through. And the general public who isn’t in the military can’t understand that pain. Like for example, after Vietnam, which drafted teenagers who just got out of school, they came back to being shamed and harassed by the general public for doing their jobs, which was mostly not a job by choice, rather than being listened to and being cared for. The people who go to war, will even tell you war is not pretty and it puts a toll on them, one that probably will never get fixed or go away
@@alechamilton1864 You are exactly correct! We know what no one who hasn't served, knows. Sometimes, if you take the worst nightmare you have ever experienced and multiply that by 100, that is how bad it gets, and sometimes nightly, daily, weekly, ...forever!
I’m an Afghanistan vet, this song brings me to tears every time. Thank you for focusing on this song.
Don't cry sweetheart, God bless your dad, and God bless our vets. The country loves our service members. Take my word for it.
FFDP is my all time favorite band. I love the fact that they bring the issues that our veterans face to the forefront. I want to thank EVERYONE who has served. Thank you all.
I’m a Marine veteran. Your reaction says it all. Thank you.
I don’t have any connection to the US, the military or a veteran. But seeing this video gives me tears every time. The scene in the end is what gets me because its just so powerful.
same!
One of the greatest quotes in my opinion comes from General Douglas McArthur. It reads: "A soldier, above all else, prays for peace; for he must bear the deepest wounds and scars of war."
It has nothing to do with US Military -- even though this is US based --- EVERYONE who serves goes through the same.
@@doormouse2994 this video has everything do with US soldiers. The whole video and all the statistics are all about US soldiers, but yes the message can apply to any solider.
I'm a 59 year old grown man. I am German, not US American. But I cry with you; I cry every time I see this video or hear the song! I did my compulsory term in 81/82, part of it on a tank shooting range in Manitoba, Canada. I was lucky I didn't have to fight in a war, yet. But I am also doing international development aid work for more than 30 years now; I did repeatedly work with ISAF troops in Afghanistan in 2002 to 2004 (which was an easier time than later), and I am covering Iraq now. I got shot at in Afghanistan, and I had the Blackwater guys poke their guns at me as well (fortunately they did ask before they pulled the trigger). So I have at least a glimpse what it means to do this job. And I know that while in Germany the situation isn't as bad as in the US, veterans here and everywhere else in Europe experience similar issues. I was passively involved in a tank shooting accident while stationed in Canada, which resulted in partial hearing loss in my right ear. Upon discharge at the end of my service a couple of months later, I was bluntly told to sign that I was fine again. I was 20 then, university was waiting and I signed. Nothing compared to what is shown in the video, but yes, this is a fact and it is a shame! For the US, for Germany, for every damn bloody country that treats their service women and men as a dispensable resource in a game of power.
As a Vet who was stationed in your magnificent nation for six years, I got to meet many of your troops and work with them. I never bumped into them while I was in Iraq or Afghanistan, but I give you respect for what you wrote. You're on point.
@@briangreen9677 Cheers mate, I was a Medic in the German Army down in the Algäu, I know the horrors that accure, respect to all my brothers in arms, which ever nation you are from, you are never alone, and if you have troubles, dont be afraid o reach out !
@@briangreen9677 All NATO countries contributed troops to ISAF. NATO actually took command of the mission in 2003. My job was to assist in rebuilding key government institutions (funded by the Asian Development Bank) and support Provincial Reconstruction Teams in selected small projects. For that purpose, I had two teams on the ground, and did missions myself. The PRT were multi-national. As for the German army, they were stationed in the Northern Provinces. If I remember correctly, they took over a US camp in Kunduz in 01/2004 and later in the year one in Faizabad.

I'm a Australian Veteran and first time l have heard this song. Wooooow, lots of tears and memories. Divorved , living in the middle of the bush on 5 acres which l love as lm not a people person, l find my animals love me more, thats why l keep to myself. Thank you for playing this ❤
I'm with you there I feel the same although I wish I didn't.
As a struggling veteran, it's refreshing to read and see these comments/reactions. This reminds me to not give up. Semper fi.
Keep it up! Remember there are people out there that are truly grateful for what you went through! There is always a light at the end of the tunnel even if all you can see is darkness at the time!
Never give up Jorge, it may not always seem like it, but there are those of us out here who only want the best for our service men & women... I wish you Godspeed, and I hope I get the chance to say that in person, one of these days...
Stay strong, brother.
"Keep on Truckin'," man.
This video hits like a freight train. As a vet that has lost a couple of buddies to their inner demons, I respect and appreciate 5FDP for bringing attention to a very important issue.
To all the other vets that posted, thank you for your service and to our host, thank you for your fantastically sincere reaction.
As a veteran of the UK Arny this song hits hard, I'm proud of serving my country and fighting to defend our cousin's across the pond , yet I still struggle with PTSD and coming to terms with some of the things I did is hard... great reaction and big respect to your dad for his service and my American cousins who defend their family and country xx
Bless you did you have to shoot a shepperd in flip flops who took up arms with an American weapon? Feel for his family more than yours, you had a choice they didn't.
@@mrtibbz10
Shut up
Ignore that one guy who commented, thank you for your service to your country, from a brother across the pond 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Stay strong, brother.
Thank you for your service. Ignore that other asshole who commented.
Best group ever!!!! I’m a ARMY veteran and a firefighter; love what they do for us
🫡
As a veteran who struggles with PTSD, Thank you for this. God bless
Thank you for your service.
Stay strong, brother.
USMC veteran here. I was a grunt/infantry. This song hit me hard when it came out. Listening to it now brought back memories of when I was transitioning to civilian life in the early 2000s. My family didn't understand what I was going through. I was eventually hated, considered "broken", and deemed a failure. To this day, I've kept my distance, whether emotionally or physically, from them.
I'd likely be homeless too had it not been for good friends who were also veterans. My few good friends helped guide me to stay on the right path. Last year, I retired early from the W2 workforce. A fellow veteran told me about investing my money on assets several years back. Thank God I met him. Semper Fi and God bless to all the veterans out there trying to find their way in civilian life.
I'm a disabled veteran with PTSD (and a lot of other problems). This video always makes me thankful that my wife has stood by me when most would have abandoned me (like I deserved).
You DO NOT deserve to be abandoned, you have a solid life partner who understands and supports you. As do I.
Nobody and I mean NOBODY deserves to be abandoned after commiting one of the biggest sacrifice a person can make. You are a warrior and will always be. You have an amazing partner and you should be honored for what you've done, not abandoned.
Sir... with ALL RESPECT.... there is no way you could deserve to be abandoned!! NO Way! I sincerely hope you feel loved EVERY DAY! Thank you for your service.
I am happy that she stood by you brother, unfortunately, mine was unable to handle it.
please make sure that your PTSD is the correct diagnosis, which it might be. But make sure its not a misdiagnosed case of mefloquine-induced toxicity.
mefloquine is a malaria drug that was widely prescribed by all branches of the military. It mimics PTSD, but it's treatment is different.
40k subscribers when this came out a year ago, closing in on 300k now.
Also, thank you for taking the time to watch this video and really reflect on its meaning, it’s a truly powerful song that doesn’t seem to get the recognition it deserves.
19 year wounded Army veteran here. First, never apologize for your emotions, it's amazing there are still wonderful people in this world. Second, to all my brothers and sisters out there, if you need help, please reach out to someone for help. I know what you're going through, I lost everything from my service, wife, kids, home, everything so please reach out if you need help. I don't want to lose any more of you and Thank you for your service and I LOVE you all.
Ive lost everything too us army vet 13 years
You are the First person to shed a tear in these reaction Videos.. This is a tough song and people need to worry more about our Vets and Homless then letting other people come in here. If we cant protect our own soldiers,, we failed. Thanks for the Video.. And I appcriciate your pure sadness.. I wish all people in this Country had your empathy and sadness for our Protectors. As the saying goes. ALL GAVE SOME, BUT SOME GAVE ALL..
The black dude at the end was saying "Bill, Bill, it's me Jacoby. You saved my life brother." I'm a Viet Nam vet and lost so many of my brothers over there. So many of us who made it back, never really came home. So many of us turned to drugs or alcohol or ate the barrel of a gun. When we came home, we were met by protesters spitting on us and calling us baby killers. Even our own government wanted to just sweep us under the rug and pretend that we didn't exist. To all my brothers from Nam, and to all my brothers who came afterward, you aren't alone, I've got your back.
thank you for your service and safe return, brother.
Im an Iraq and Afghanistan vet and something i heard a few months ago, cant remember who said it but was if you see a vietnam vet was to go up shake their hand and say welcome home. So im saying to you is welcome home brother.
@@noah2711 Thank you, there aren't many of us left and I appreciate it.
@@roguemerlin1969 Just know I got your 6.
@@roguemerlin1969 As a Brit I cant really say welcome home but I respect all the sacrifices you and your brothers in arms made, you did not deserve the 'welcome' you got coming home, I wish you well for the future.
I thank you for your sweet words they made me feel better!
11:22 No need to apologize. If this song doesn't touch someone's heart, it's because they don't have one.
I don't cry except for when it comes to veterans. When that veteran said to the other one "You saved my life brother!" I cried like a baby. Thank you to all who have served, or currently serving. Your service and sacrifice for your country is beyond appreciated by your fellow patriots. ❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️
No matter how many times I see this I can’t hold back the tears. I worried everytime my brother deployed and beyond grateful he returned home safe. My heart and respect goes out to every service member in every branch and their families. What a lot of people don’t know is what the family goes through not only watching their spouse leave but the children having to say goodbye each time. Or the countless times I’ve seen them move to new countries, new states, with each new assignment. A heart felt thank you and so much appreciation to every single service member out there, we can never do enough to repay what you do for all of us.
I have seen this video and heard this song at least a thousand times and it gets me everytime. I feel for all my brothers and sisters in arms.
I was waiting for you to react to this song. As a vet I have been homeless, not so much due to my service, but it is hard. I was blessed an organization took me in and helped me to get to a place where I could succeed. Props to FFDP, Thank you for reacting as it brings this back and relevant as it is still a problem.
thank you so much for your service!
I've been there too brother... I'm thankful that the Volunteers of America stepped up to help me get back up and headed in the right direction.
Now I have a wonderful wife that holds me while I cry in my sleep, and a beautiful son that greets me at the door with arms open every single time I come home (even if I was only outside mowing grass lol). We only have each other that knows and understands, so lean on us as we lean on you. "No man left behind"
Hold strong brother. I share your struggle
I cry every single time I watch this video. These men are doing the Lord’s work for those that sacrificed everything.
Tell you dad i said thank you for his service in the military as i have many past and present people that either served or went thru boot camp !! Much love to all the men and women that was/is part of our armed forces!! ❤️👊👍
Never apologize for your reaction, whether it’s emotional or not. Never apologize for showing your emotions. ❤️
While I don’t have a link with the military, I can imagine the pain and disbelief. I can’t listen to this song with dry eyes.
Dammit. This song gets me every time. Not a huge Five Finger Death Punch fan these days but they do have good songs about military and first responders. Gone Away, Blue on black are a couple other goodies.
Video for Gone away, fuck. Right in the feels with that one
@@theplaguepadart3743 Agreed. That video deals with the worst survivor's guilt you could imagine. Their video for "coming down" smashes you right in the beginning, dealing with bullying & suicide. They've made some seriously powerful videos about huge subjects.
They love and respect the military and it shows in their music.
The into now makes me instinctively tear up
Same!
I'm active duty Army and I wanna say songs hits me all the time, there a old saying we say "the solider above all prays for peace,for its the solider who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds & scars of war."
Much appreciated definitely got a new fallower😊
Thank you for your raw and heartfelt reaction. After 26 years of service this song screams what many service men and women have endured outside the view of society. If you liked this one I would recommend checking out "Coming Down" and "The Tragic Truth" by 5FDP.
I don't care how many times I've watched this music video it still brings a tear to my eye. Just remember we veterans aren't taught to seek out help or to even open up. Be patient with us. We didn't get like this over night and the solution wont happen that quickly either. Never give up brothers.
Aileen, from all of your supporters thank your dad from us to him for his service and thanks for sharing your story. Much love from the biggest naval base in the world
thank you so much, David
As a vet, I've always loved this song, especially the video. It is one hell of an emotional ride. The three points that either put me at the edge of tears, or just absolutely set me crying: the part with the flower, the part with the forearm tattoos, and the two reuniting. It's powerful, and thank you very much for doing this one.
Tears every time. No matter how many times I’ve heard this and watched reactions. Coming from a military family, it always hits close to home.
I am a retired vet, when I first seen this video I shared your reaction. It literally broke me as well. How vets get treated really pisses me off. I love your kind heart. It is the main thing that pulled me into your page. Keep up the good work.
5fdp has several songs dedicated to our vets. And how they have been treated
Tell your dad thank you for his service. This is something that most people can't fully understand.
These videos hit hard. I'm a now disabled vet and if it wasn't for my wife sticking next to me in the lowest parts and pushing me to get the help I needed... Hell I don't even want to think about it. Support our Vets Support our Troops. You are all my Brothers and Sisters and so much love to you all..

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!
From a Veteran....thank you SO MUCH for doing this. And sharing this. The feels are real and raw with this one.
FFDP is a huge supporter of our troops, and have a couple other great songs similar to this theme. Thanks again, and much love. Hooah
First I would like to say thank you to your father, my brother for his service. As a veteran with 23 years I feel everybody who has served or is currently serving are my brothers and sisters. Thank you for opening up to us and showing your emotions. First time seeing your channel and all I request is for you never lose that compassion🌹🙏⛩
Thank you for your service! I appreciate you ❤️
I spent 4 year homeless after my service but in kuck met another vet and now became a caretaker for a senior vet. Thank youbfor this video and your whole hearted emotions.
22 a day. A number that constantly lives in my head. Our veterans deserve better.
I'm a veteran, when I first heard this song, and wasted the video, five finger death punch became my favorite band - all time favorite. Thank you, not only for covering this video on your channel but the wonderful things you said after. Much love and respect to your dad, your his greatest artwork and life him your leading by example.
I subscribed and hit the bell 🔔
I love how the music moves you... moves your emotion and soul... you feel so much and I love it
I don’t think I’ve ever seen your heart rate go that high. After listening to this song and watching this video probably over 100 times I still get emotional. This is seriously one of the most emotionally heavy songs/music videos ever created.
who even needs cardio 😄🥲
I love reaction channels, but, as a 12 year Combat Vet- 3 Middle East tours. May i please say that watching you react to this emotionally, warms my hardened heart , to know that there are still people that care and feel our pain. Or at least acknowledge it. I struggle with PTSD and suicide daily, and take my life 1 day at a time, but would do it all again... Thank You, Aileen...
🫡 no matter how illegal Iraq was, America and my country of Britain despite failing to bring stability removed one of the most vile people on the planet, you all served your country well, respect to you all
Thank you for reacting to this from all of us who served and deal with the nightmares and bad dreams daily. To my fellow veterans, stay strong you're not alone.
I am a vet myself and I just have to say the emotion you showed was so pure I could feel it through the video. Thank you for bringing light to this subject. Please tell your dad that I would like to thank him for his service. Thank you for your support Aileen it means a lot to see and hear people that care this much. I wish you the best.
22 years in the Marine Corps and this gets me every time. Being disabled and retired is the definition of disposable. Hugs
Thank you for your service and sacrifice
I've been a first responder for 13 years and i must say i cried when i heard this song. Love your reaction. Thank your Dad for his services. For me.
I'm a vet, deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan both, sustained combat throughout, and this music vid is on point but keep in mind, the stats have all grown as this was recorded a number of years ago....
Wow.... My son is in the military and has been away for 3 years now. You don't know how much this affected me just now. A dad sitting at the kitchen table at 1am, thinking about his son and crying. How'd I get here. Thank you for supporting our veterans
@8:45 My rule on this song is that if by the end one tear hasn't been shed by the viewer, well that speaks volumes of the viewer, and it ain't good.
OMG YES!!! As a veteran, I can’t wait to see this video. You should also check out Gone Away by them to.
I think she should watch "Gone Away" by the original Offspring first imo
@@davidward9737 I’d have to disagree. FFDP’s visual with this video I think does it justice. Especially with Memorial Day coming up.
@@armondojimenez1601 thank you for politely disagreeing. This wasn't a veterans song, if you want that then watch their wrong Side of Heaven Righteous Side of Hell Video. The original has great visuals and is talking about someone that has passed away. They just turned it into another war song, which it was meant to be, that is why their original song they wrote has more power than this. Thanks for the input
I just saw the gone away video earlier man that was very moving
as a navy veteran, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! I love your honest reactions!!
As a va nurse I understood that treating their minds and hearts was just as important as treating their bodies. A soldier can withstand immense physical pain and discomfort it's a part of their training and conditioning but the mental pain catches them off guard when the adrenaline stops.
I appreciate your service. Sometimes the adrenaline doesn't stop. I'm sure you know that
I took alot of the guys sky diving since I'm qualified for tandem jumps. Its important to find a new way to get the adrenaline highs boredom can be the enemy
Thank you Tina for your service and thank you for what you are saying. After an "accident" while I was serving in the army, they fixed my body but I still healing my soul myself.
@@jannawalany5942 thank you for your service! It's an honor assisting with repairs. I didn't have the honor of being infantry like I wanted due to being deaf so I wanted to find a way to make a difference in some form.
Thank you for your service Tina. From an airborne infantry vet who served in Iraq and Afghanistan
I'm a vet from Germany. Thank you for this. It is a very important matter.
This is my first time ever seeing her and I cannot help but feel a sweet presents
She just seems like a genuinely soft meek quiet woman but yet strong with courage nurturing heart God bless you I hardly see women like this nowadays
God bless all veterans everywhere
I will support them every way I can
With out them there is no America
Idk who you are but YOU ARE AN ANGEL! I'm a Veteran myself and have had my own struggles and have had close battle buddies take their lives. I'm not nor have I ever been at that point but you opened a new door for me concerning my mental health. I will definitely look at further treatment. It's going that you're showing everyone YOUR vision from the outside looking in. You really are doing a great thing. Your Dad is a very lucky father. Thank him and you for his service and what you're doing!
I do love this band. My hardcore metal friends crap all over them. But they do a lot for our service members with videos like this and going overseas multiple times to perform for our troops. I can not ignore that. As a soldier that deployed to Iraq three times and and now in the Army Reserves I will not ignore efforts by people who try to spread awareness that myself and countless others of my brothers and sisters have been going through. Keep it up and can’t wait for this reaction.
A lot of people do shit on this band because most of their music is good but not great musically. And its true their music (with a few exceptions) is pretty unimpressive compared to some other bands in the space. However you cant deny that they are doing amazing work on using their platform to help others, and for that alone they have my respect
love 5fdp as well. Amny crap on them. I dont care. I love sabaton too and every say they are cringe. But they tell history. make stories and heros live on for ever in their music. And as you said what 5fdp does for service men are amazing. Sabaton help rescue a dying WW1 musem. All respect to vets, 5fdp
I hope you realize you aren't fighting for any kind of greater good or to defend the U$ or its citizens.
The way U$ corporations treat the veterans who fought for their profits is appalling.
@@chrisjohlfs8219 well said 👏
They are generic and forgettable. Same bin as Creed and Nickelback.
You have nothing to be sorry for Aileen... To this day I literally cannot hear or listen to taps without breaking down, as I was one of the pallbearers for my grandfather, a WWII Army vet, and just hearing it breaks my heart every time, as I think about all the other vets I grew up listening to and idolizing...
The fact that there are so many young men and women who are often discarded by our country after their sacrifices... I can't begin to understand it... I for one was joining you in those tears, as I have many close friends that are scarred by various traumas and such... And many friends who haven't come home at all...
@Brandon McHenry Aye, that it can. That & the 21 gun salute will break many a hardened heart.
"You saved my life brother" gets me every God damned time.
I've watch that video 1000 times and I cry every time. God bless the U. S. Soldiers
As a disabled vet from a family full veterans, I wish everyone in the country has to watch and listen to this. Thank you Miss Senpai for featuring this song and video. The VA is a mess in most places and most vets don't even know the services they are able to get help from. Thank you. Five Finger death punch is one of my favorites, they have created many songs that have hard and sad truth to them but still manage to give you hope in the end.
Another thing that is not spoken about: A lot of us vets, me included, already had been through hell before we went in. Many of us were trying to escape the fire by jumping into another one. I am fortunate that I made it to today. In all reality I should not be here but I am thankful that I can be.
I'm a vet, 27 yrs 5 deployments. This song always grabs me by the FEELZ.
God bless our Military and Five Finger Death Punch for the awareness they bring and all the help and support they provide for our service men and women 🙏
Never be sorry for your TRUE EMOTIONS. That is one of the reasons I subscribed. THANK YOU for ALLLLLLLLL of our military. I appreciate what you are doing. ❤
I stumbled across a few of your videos and love your energy and reactions great song and thank you to all veterans you all are greatly appreciated and loved 😊
I am a Vet, this hits very close to home for me, as I suffer from PTSD, As the saying goes, "All gave some, some gave all" you are such a beautiful, warm, caring, loving person! Thank You for reacting.
Thank You for doing this reaction. Your empathy is shown in your tears, and your sincerity shown in your physical reaction. As a Disabled Veteran, this video hits in so many ways, so much mental chaos between the self and the idea of self, the expectation of the outside and the reality of life, but seeing a Veteran's daughter show so much pride in their father, and knowing he was able to build a life to earn such, makes this world a better place from which to rest in as that is what is hoped for with the sacrifice... that brother and sister next to us, their dreams and aspirations, their family, just as they did for those next to them. Give your dad a hug, remind him of how proud of him you are, let him know how proud we are of him and thanks for his service. Don't you ever stop feeling, none of us are made of stone, it is our empathy that makes us great.
I have always been a fan of you but when you show such empathy and emotion for the people we should honor and help is a truly beautiful thing
This is an amazing and beautiful song, with a very important message. I'm not American, but I have a tremendous amount of respect for any veteran who served their country, and it breaks my heart to see anyone treated this way, let alone a veteran.
I did numerous tours to Afghanistan and Iraq and this song always tears my heart into pieces. But seeing someone from outside the military so affected by it shows me there is at least one person out there who gives a s***. Thanks for being so bold and honest.
There are more of us than you think there are. Many honor the dead that have lived and gave their souls for the glory of their home. Many will never forget that the fires of war claim more than the dead. The fires leave scars on all who endure the worst atrocity that man can do to man…war.
These scars, some are physical and others can’t be seen. But that doesn’t make them any less real and gripping for the families and the vets who have served.
For everyone when doesn’t give a shit, who makes you think that the world has locked you in the vault of your own mind, tossed you aside like the leaves from the tree that is society when the turbulence of wind that is suffering rocks it, trying to catch and cast adrift whoever it can. Just know, there are many more out there who will never forget what you have done. Who honor those who have fallen and stand strong shoulder to shoulder to help those who have served rise from their depths of pain and despair.
We are here. We are watching. We are thankful. And we are never forgetting.
Don't worry about being emotional when listening to music. Everyone has their various things that they react strongly to. I remember breaking down completely when I watched the video to Spiritbox's Constance simply because it hit close to home for me. I was bawling like a baby.
This hits very differently. I've spent a year as a conscript but was never on active duty afterward so I've always felt a very faint connection to people who've served in the military. However, I can strongly sympathize with their PTSD. I'm currently seeing a shrink in order to find out if I have it myself after some less-than-pleasant things in my past. It is...not easy to live with. Luckily I have my stuff in some kind of order and am not in any risk of ending up on the street, but I can definitely see how people could end up there without any help.
Anyway. I'm not a huge fan of FFDP as a band but I can respect what they're doing with songs like this.
Thank you to all who have served. 🇺🇸🙏🏼
My dad also retired from the military so this hits close to home thanks to all veterans and active service members.❤️🇺🇸
God bless the soldiers that helped keep this country great.
A lot of their songs touch on things NEED to be talked about but most people are too afraid to do so. Five Finger Death Punch: "Coming Down" is a perfect example of this.
The video for that one is pretty brutal. Especially the beginning
And "wash it all away" is another good one, you should check out too.
@@jc2004x definitely is but it has saved my life countless times when I've been in some really dark places.
I want to say thank you for your video. This song is very emotional for me. Me and my fellow brothers and sisters, in the military. It shows how we go through daily bases in life after we served
As the son of a Vietnam veteran, this song hits so hard for me. It truly encapsulates what our veterans went through during the 70’s as well as in the 90’s-20’s
It hit you so hard you didn’t follow in your fathers footsteps?
I thank him for his service. thank you for defending us and our freedom.
I have lots of love for military active and veterans, I always thank them for their service. Prayers for all military ❤🙏🏼
Bless you and your family! You are amazing!
Thank you! You too!
A song that touches EVERYONE that knows it, this is a powerful song from 5FDP and it was my wife’s fathers favorite song. We lost him to cancer, a former military man, THANK YOU TO ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO GIVE THEIR LIVES FOR OUR COUNTRY 🌹🇺🇸
This band is so much more than music, what they stand for and how the support our troops truly makes them legendary IMO #KNUCKLEHEAD #5FDP
First and foremost, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU ! To all our service members. If any of you out there watching this are veterans and you need help, I got your six.
I truly appreciate you doing this song … I’m a 30 year retired disabled veteran and it truly means lot that you did this song!! Our Veterans deserve so much more than our country provides for them after their service. It’s disheartening that any vet have to suffer in anyway. Much, much ❤️
As a combat veteran this song always hits home it's a harsh reality that most of us deal with internally because of the things we've seen or done in the name of "freedom"
You said it true. Those things don’t go away while we are here.
