Hey I don't know you sir but I just wanna say I hope your doing ok an good and that even though it may or may not mean much I appreciate you and them for everything yall did I try to keep my thank yous for them men that made the real sacrifices and actually went through it all and the fact that many of my family an friends in the military say it feels weird when people thank them for there service but keep your head up, there somewhere smiling at you
I made it home from Iraq despite the vicious combat. My brother who died is one of the heroes he’s talking about. To Rodney Jones. Abu Ghraib. Western Baghdad. 2004.
I am a Desert Storm, Afghanistan and Iraq veteran, this song i was listening to it on the headphones, when the sound of taking fire sounded i jumped and put my head down, then started crying, i could not believe the sound, then i listened to the words and was blown away, everything was just like the words he says. uuussshh it is awesome song.
On some days, i question why i joined the military... But its men like you and those that have served before me that motivate me to be the best at what i do. Songs like this make me PROUD to wear the uniform and push me to never give up! Thank you SSG Fair! Hooah!
i had a friend who was killed in 2009 i don't remember his name but his gamer tag was shadowphoenix he was like a brother 1 that i can never have again tell your friends to keep safe and remember you are not alone out there the troops from all the years are with you there today keep safe sgt w mcgergor of the odst from halo reach sining off
I don't know much of what it's like out there(I will soon enough) but you should be proud of what you're doing i can tell you are alot yea you may have to kill someone or make really hard choices but never question your service cause to me and many many others what you do is inspirational and from your compatriots in the UK we thank you for your service and hope you return home safe oh what you do honestly im jealous cause iv military service in my family and iv dreamt of of the military service
Sergeant Fair, Thank you for this song. I'm in the Navy and served 9 months in Afghanistan and currently deployed overseas in Japan. This song is sad but it also makes me appreciate being able to come home. It helps me to remember my fallen Battle Buddies and how I will always carry them with me.
SSG Nathan Fair an amazing piece of art by a dedicated American! Thank you for your service and your heart. I have a PTSD 28 year old disabled daughter (not a military wound) we understand a bit of the wounded warrior plight and are so very grateful for their sacrifice on behalf of our country! Thank you!
+Shauwn Mitchell you too brotha, if you want a tip for boot camp. Do everything the DS says exactly how they want it. and get good at doing push ups. like alot hahaha
I'm a U.S Marine and I got deployed to Afghanistan once and Iraq twice. I'll never forget my brothers and sisters who didn't make it back. OORAH Semper Fidelis. (I'm on my girlfriends account.)
this song is amazing. It shames me to see my generation, seniors in high school, never thinking about who defends our freedom and just how much people care so little about our troops. It's a damn shame I go to a highschool with so many self proclaimed socialist and democrats who think everything in life is supposed to be handed to them and never thinking of the good men and women behind the scenes that make our livelihood possible.
I'm a democrat. My grandfather on my dad's side was stationed in Panama during ww2 and my grandfather on my mom's side was in Korea so shut your fucking mouth. People like you are what make this country dog shit. Always dividing people and making assumptions about that shit. go fuck yourself man keep that political shit out of here this is to honor our fallen.
Anytime I miss my dad I lay down and look at the only picture I have of him and listen to this song. He was a hell of a soldier and an even better father
Soldiers don't do it for the money. They do it for the brotherhood. Paying them like we pay athletes is well deserved, however it would encourage people to just join for the money. We can't have that.
I'm still in high school but ever since I was small, I have always respected the military from the drone pilots to the infantry. To me as long as you signed up to do your service and not for the glory then I salute you even if your not an officer because you are still at a risk and you still signed away your rights to join. Helping the military in every way possible is the best thing to do as a civilian. I always try my best to let people know, the military is not just shooting a gun and getting attention for it. It is about protecting the country so others can sleep at night.
I'm in high school too but I wanted to join till I was diagnosed with scoliosis and clubfoot I was going to join marines because that's my favorite branch and I dont want to fight to be known or for glory I want to fight for the American people so they can stay free and live happy god bless the USA
I am a U.S. Army MP Veteran serving from 2003-2005 and i would ilke to see all these little ungrateful bastards get DRAFTED for a WAR. Then we will see how much the American Flag will mean to them then.
Particularly special to me to play this often and loudly on Memorial Day weekend. Gratitude to all who stood the watch and the loved ones who supported them.
wow just wanted to say i was getting in my head a little bit and this song definetly helped thank you i served 3 tours over in Helmand Provence Afghanistan and had a lot of friends leave early and alot of friends not make it back but i wanted to thank you for your service and this song
Thank you for your service SGT. This song is truly touching, I've loved it since I have first listened to it. Thank you sir, for all the sacrifices you and your battle buddies have made for this country. Stay frosty.
Song still gives me goose bumps everytime i hear it. Still brings me to tears. Ive been struggling mentally ever since i came back.This song helps a bit and to see there is hope for me to adjust back into scoiety. thank you for this song. a lot of poeple dont understand the kind of sacrifice we made and what we went through.
Thank you for your service. This song means a lot to me. I lost my uncle in early 2007 in Afghanistan, and then in 2010 I also lost my brother. Nice to hear such a comforting song. I plan on joining the Marines myself next year once I graduate high school. This song warmed my heart. Thank you.
For those who served, Thank you for your service. As a young man myself planning to go into the Air Force, it amazes me what you servicemen probably or did go through fighting for this wonderful country of America, or any country worth serving for. You all risked your lives so that your families could know that their future of safety isn't in jeopardy. Remember what you fought for and if you are struggling, find something to be happy for, whether it is your parents, your wife, children, girlfriend, friend. Anyone around you is happy that you served, and if there is someone who isn't, then they don't deserve your time to argue about it. Politics has nothing to do with serving your country. It is truly the want to defend the rights of your friends and family and all you hold dear. Thank you all!
I wasn't born in this country. My heart and loyalty goes to another country because that's where my family's history belongs. After living in this country for nearly 20 years, I've grown to hate and love certain things, as any person would. I generally disagree with the government and how they treat its people because in my eyes, only they want is more money, regardless of the cost. For men and women like yourself, I have the upmost respect. You guys are the true heroes. Regardless of people's view of how this country is ran, you folks make it a safe place for anyone to live. You guys not only lay your lives down for us, but that hardest thing, to me, must be leaving your families. Every time you come back from war, you must have missed something from your children growing or another event that happens one in a lifetime. For those reasons, I salute you all. Thank you for your service. Thank you for risking your lives for people you have and never will meet. Thank you for leaving your families so we can stay with ours. Keep your heads up and never forget, what you do, saves our country.
I agree government has killed my dad he is still here but he is dying agent orange Vietnam under water demolition team 3 years he fought for the government to spit in his face some of the stories he told me he doesn't like talking about it but.. . just terrible
Just remember most of us imigrated over jere ibe been there and no soldier fights for a goverment we do it so it doesnt go to our front door and we fight for each other you included there is no shaded of grey in a soldierd eyed
Seen this performed in person at Josh Collins' place called Huske Hardware bar in Fayetteville, N.C., GREAT GREAT song thank you for your service SSG Nathan Fair.
We all have our stories.... I have mine, mine are scars on the inside and outside. Kids constantly stare, I'm embarrassed to even go outside, go to friends funerals. My friend died about 2 months ago, i was so ashamed to go to his funeral, see his wife and kids. I had worse injuries than him and i live. Why couldn't he live? He had a family, i had no one, ptsd, no job, limbs missing. I'm getting on with life, met a girl, adopted a service dog, having a kid, life can turn out pretty damn good after accidents. I'll say this to you: If you go into the military. Stick together as a team, brotherhood and sisterhood. Not as a single person, be a better person, save lives. Retire and come home to amazing family, kids, grandkids. Once a soldier always a damn proud soldier... OORAHH I lost my brother overseas.... I blame myself. We've been best friends since we were 5. We enlisted in the marines together. I was on my first deployment, we were on patrol when a sniper in the hills triggered a IED, our humvee rolled and turned. Throwing my friend out of the gunners spot.... I was stuck in the burning humvee for a couple mins until some soldiers got me out..... I came home on a plane in a seat, my friend came home in a body bag. My second deployment, I lost 3 of my best friends in a Helicopter crash, I almost lost my life but i fought through the pain and tears. Im suffering from survivors guilt and not a day goes by that I don't miss them. Every day i want to end it, my life is over basically, no job no legs no arm Burnt over half of my body. This happend one year ago:( I'm 26 and I'm leg less. i served 2 tours in the sandbox, lost good friends. I had served 6 years, then i got sent home after a bad accident. My dad died when i was 7, my oldest brother died at 21 and i was only 10. My mom opened the door and saw 2 marines at the door, she fell in tears as they said i was badly injured in a accident which killed my best friends. Every day from age 7-23 i wanted to serve my country, i did, i did fail, i did succeed. A couple months ago... My younger brother was killed after an IED went off below his feet, killing him and his K9 Rex. My friend recently died, I'm 26 and I have no job, and i can't live on my own. You know everyday i hear a door slam, i hear a explosion in my ears, yelling turns to be soldiers crying in pain. PTSD is the worst thing to live with. SEMPER FI!! OORAH
I'm really sorry for your loses... But, as soldiers, you are prepared for that. The military is not a nice place, you get some and you lose some, but there's no need to blame yourself for all of their lives that got lost. Try to live through it, as even when it seems lost, remember who was there for you and who continues with you. - Future Israeli Soldier. ❤
There myself brother nit as much happened to me but i also lost my fair share of friends over there some where on my call and that i will have to live with for the rest of my life keeo your head strong and just remember the one thing that stops me from pulling that trigger what they would do to you if they seen you about to do what you want that is what has always stopped me but as for your comment of your battle being over it is far from over brother it has only really only just began slightly older then you but even my fight is only just starting the real fight is the battle you fight in your head after you get home
God bless you and thank you for your service and sacrifice to this fine nation. May the lord watch over you and all soldiers, living, retired, or the fallen. God bless you, and thank you for your service.
When you are listening to music during free time in class, and you have to excuse yourself because your crying. This happened to me yesterday, and I actually had to leave the room I was crying so hard. When I came back in, everyone was making fun until I asked the teacher if I could look up the song and play the video for the class. Even some of the boys had tears in their eyes. God bless all the fallen in Iraq, Afghanistan, and all other places. See you all in heaven, you brave men and women. I also really like the guys who are doing that thing with the guns. You are amazing! I think you have an amazing voice, and this song saddens me and makes me feel better knowing that there are people who care
Thank you for sharing your video it's simply amazing no words can describe the goosebumps I get every time listening to your song. My husband has 3 tours Iraq 05-06 Afghanistan 11-12 Afghanistan 13-14 he showed me this song and it hits home for both of us. He always said the Heros are the ones who don't come home and that all he does is his job if he brings all his men home then he's done his job. Once again thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your service and for encouraging me to not give up my dream to fight for this country! I am proud to serve next me men like you! Thank you Mr. Fair!
Thank you to our solider's who fought for us, thank you feeling fighting where we can stay free. We are so lucky to have you guys fight the war where we all can be free.
I'm very glad that in today's world I still see the young youth of America still willing to serve. It also makes me proud knowing that in the world today, despite everything that's going on, we still have patriots that are not afraid to rise up and fix the problems that we are currently facing today.
+Mark Watson This country saved my grandfather in the vietnam war. He was a POW of 6 years.Operation homecomming brought my grandfather home. To show our thanks all the men in my family served, now its my turn and i will not break that tradition. People today seem to forget what this country is made of and what made it great in the first place. Land of the free because of the brave. Simple words that will forever be the reason i do what i do.
I was army infantry from 2002-2010 and 4 tours. This was one of the best and worst times of my life. I don't care to let people know what the fuck I went through which h is hard for my family. So many young soldiers were under me who admitted they regret joining during a time of war.
It's sad seeing what our country and government is turning into, I want to see a country and government like we had in the 40s. People were strong, determined, and willing. We aren't a united country anymore, we are turning divided. Gladly though we still have some people that are strong, determined, and willing. I hope we are reformed into our former glory before it's too late.
defcon 173 since I am diabetic I can't join the military but I am willing to help and this is the country that we were born in so mine as well die for it and I hate it that not that many teenager's listen to this actual music like Patriotic, Country, and Cristian music
I heard pride in his voice and saw it in his eyes when your dad told me of your military career. He told me about this song also and Ive shared the link with several people. Thank you for serving and for the tribute to your fellow soldiers.
Thanks to all of our troops that have served. I have a few members of my family that are in the army but thankfully haven't had to go overseas yet. The world would be a better place if there wasn't any type of a war. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!
My grandfather served the airborne rangers for 10 years and this song hits home to a big big point I'd love to have every body in America to listen to this song because there are a lot of truth in it I take my hat off and thank all the veterans who served our great country and I'm very sorry to to family members of our fallen veterans who served as well I'd like to thank the family members of the veterans because y'all help us keep this world a better place!!
Our opinions may not always agree on war, BUT no matter my opinion I ALWAYS support those who served. I cannot fathom being disrespectful like some people do. Our Brave men and women fight for that freedom so many take for granted.
Thank you for your service, I have a son that is a Navy Corpsmen you guys are true heroes, thank you🇺🇸🇺🇸 For the ones who disliked this song if you live in this country,,,,FREAKIN LEAVE we don’t need trash here
Im joining the army to help with my family and to continue my family's military history and I salute all those who have served dead and alive and this is a great song
Still putting out new music, I'm learning on this new software I have, but with each new song, I'm getting better. Going for more of a rock sound in 2019.
Thank you for this video, I've seen lots of people who have went to Helmand Provence who didn't make it home, I lost some good friends over there and to know people still care means a lot. I signed up to be in the Armed Forces as either an MP or as a Marine Infantry. Waiting to hear back. Thank you to all who have served our country died for it and who are still fighting for us God bless you all be safe and come home.
this song is amazing wounded veteran here and my brothers and sisters in now get as much as you can out of it....when you get out not much support in some areas.... god bless and God speed!!
Thank you for your service Nathan. I don't run and neither does my colors. I will stand, I will fight or I will die trying. There is no greater love than a man/ woman to lay down their life for their country. Thank you to the brave men and women who gave their lives for us to be free
Hate Bieber but this guy is the shit I salute just for the song + of course I salute to his service and the men who never made it back much respect earned thru this song and absolutely love the little drill they got happening... Gonna be my Anzac Day song.. full stop.
Justin Bieber got his a$$ kicked at a basketball game. Dudes a pussy and couldn't ever understand how people liked his music. I still don't listen to it even when people try too listen to it I tell them to turn that Pu$$y off the radio.
Song hits different now. Joined the Army in 2017 as an 11B. 2 combat deployments one to Afghanistan and one to Iraq, then back to Afghanistan to help with the withdrawal as a civilian contractor. I listened to this song when I was in high school. But it’s different now.
I remember listening to this within its first year on YT, I was a high school kid back then, I enlisted, served, EASd, but this song still gives me chills every time I hear it
This song is truly amazing. Thank you so much for your service sir, I wish there was a better way I could go about showing you my appreciation. If it helps any, I've listened to this song about 48 times in the last 2 days. I'm addicted to it!
I can't believe how beautiful this is, or how you were able to sing it without crying. I didn't make it 10 seconds into the video without starting to cry,
Hi Spence Fusselman I really enjoyed your song. Your music and presentation touched my heart. I'm sorry for your lose. Being a 100% disabled Veteran US ARMY, I pause and Salute all the fallen and rejoice for those who have made it back home to there loved ones. Wishing you the very best. God Bless You and Our Beloved Troops. Peace & Joy. DE OPPRESSO LIBER and God Bless America
There are MANY people who would love to meet him! You can help him by getting his music from ITunes, and donate to a worthy Veteran Cause! Thanks so much, Marsha!! :)
Thank you for this beautiful song, I think about my family who served in the various services and the night mares that they had to carry throughout their lives... I shall always be grateful for your words put to music and so eloquently sung... I know that my uncle's and my dad would understand these words... Amongst the other ones who also served I say thank you...
Sergeant, I just wanted to say that this is a great song, and a great tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I'm currently in the Army stationed at Fort Campbell.
Nathan! As a Army wife things are not easy when they have to be away. thank you for sharing your song with us. Thank you for everything you have done for us to be free. Keep strong
we are doing a project in my media class where we have to make a music video and the teacher asked for examples of good music videos and i recommended this one.
I do agree with you, however more views equaling more people stopping by, being assholes, and disliking the video for no reason whatsoever, as they do with every youtube video
Nathan Fair Keep it up, wonderful job and love the song. Much respect :-) I come from a military family myself, I have not served but have many close to me who have. And I could not respect them more for it. God bless this great nation. We need more people like you Nathan. :-)
i appreciate this song a lot. it really speaks for me and makes me happy to know that there are people out there that still have respect for our troops. thank you for your service to all of those who have served
This song really is amazing thank you. Hearing music like this motivates me alot and reminds me of the many who have served before me. Thank you for making this song
Thank you for your service! To every Military service member, Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do for this great country! God Bless You All!
Sounds and such are such strong memory makers. I remember hearing the calls for support. I thank you for this song though it triggers memories I thank you so much. The shots whizzing by makes me shutter but this song brings so much pride.
This song hits Home 4 me! I lost my cousin fighting in Afghanistan in an Ambush...he left behind 2 kids and a Baby on the way. We grew up close and we were like Brothers...He always said he was gonna be a Soldier;Just 2 bad he died as one, even if it is Honorable!! This song brings tears 2 my eyes...so many lives lost fighting a War that I don't fully understand...supposedly in the name of Freedom and defending the weak. But why must we always be so quick to jump into a Fight? I guess I question it because of all the lives lost, fathers not coming home 2 their kids....and Families losing their loved ones...forgive me if you are Military...I don't mean disrespect...I Honor u all and love u for what y'all do!! Just hard 2 take losing loved ones in a War that has lasted longer than any other War!!
My biggest fear had been how my dad and family would deal with it if I didn't come back. To imagine being a parent on the other side of that . . . Beautiful music, SSG. Made me a bit teary eyed, I'll admit.
I came home from Iraq since ive been home ive been chasing what i dont know. I miss my brothers. Fell like i should of not made it home alive. Every day is a struggle
me being a U.S ARMY Veteran serving as an MP from 2003-2005, this song hits hard watering my eyes knowing I Have FALLEN BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO NEVER CAME BACK FROM FIGHTIN THE WAR IN IRAQ. I MAY HAVE THE WAR ON TERRORISM MEDAL BUT ID BE MORE COMFORTABL HAVE THE FALLEN BACK. A MEDAL IS JUST STAMPED PEICE OF MEDAL AND FABRIC, A LIFE IS MORE THAN THAN. THERE ARE SOME DAYS I CANT EVEN LOOK AT MY SHADOW BOX ON MY WALL WITH MY MEDALS WHILE PASSING AS I WALK BY THEM.
I listen to this song now and I keep thinking about my Great granddad who served in ww2 and the korean war who died last week and his funeral was yesterday i still can't believe he is gone
This song gives me goosebumps all the time.... Those gun shots made me shiver! Those who served and are serving for our country Thank You! You have all of my respect! You are all in my prayers....🇺🇸🙏🏻 I can't thank you enough for what you have done, if I could tell you I'd be typing for the rest of my life! Thank you 🇺🇸❤️❤️💪🏻
my brother never made it back home so thank you for this because it helped me realize that he tried his best and most people won't if they went through this thank you
I'm a desert storm vet. and I give total respect to you man. scars never go away. thanks for putting into a song.
God bless you and thank you.

Analiese Keaton thank you forbidding awesome
Sergeant Fair, Thank you for this song. I'm in the Navy and served 9 months in Afghanistan and currently deployed overseas in Japan. This song is sad but it also makes me appreciate being able to come home. It helps me to remember my fallen Battle Buddies and how I will always carry them with me.
SSG Nathan Fair an amazing piece of art by a dedicated American! Thank you for your service and your heart. I have a PTSD 28 year old disabled daughter (not a military wound) we understand a bit of the wounded warrior plight and are so very grateful for their sacrifice on behalf of our country! Thank you!

Stephanie Sporre thank you for your service
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service! God Bless!
Thank you for Service!
Helping our Veterans is something near and dear to my heart its only right after all you did for us.
this song is amazing. It shames me to see my generation, seniors in high school, never thinking about who defends our freedom and just how much people care so little about our troops. It's a damn shame I go to a highschool with so many self proclaimed socialist and democrats who think everything in life is supposed to be handed to them and never thinking of the good men and women behind the scenes that make our livelihood possible.
I, also a senior in high school, agree with this so much!
Same... well, just finished first semester of college. But you get what I mean.
I'm a democrat. My grandfather on my dad's side was stationed in Panama during ww2 and my grandfather on my mom's side was in Korea so shut your fucking mouth. People like you are what make this country dog shit. Always dividing people and making assumptions about that shit. go fuck yourself man keep that political shit out of here this is to honor our fallen.
Some of us seniors know and understand, I've enlisted as 03, I leave July 11th for basic.
+IdeasEscapeMe be safe and god Bless
HOW CAN ANYONE NOT LIKE THIS SONG! UGH LOVE THIS SONG!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
Chris R they are just a bunch of communists
@@hunterfahey9161 fuck you.
love this song so much
Thoes dislikes deserve a shot
Anytime I miss my dad I lay down and look at the only picture I have of him and listen to this song. He was a hell of a soldier and an even better father
They should be paid the big money not the ones that play with a ball
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks that.
+Clinton Walker I don't disagree, but there are some economic realities to it that make that impossible.
they risk there lives to protect the country everday the run with a ball for 90 mins
i agree with u these kneeling spoiled Brats piss me off
Soldiers don't do it for the money. They do it for the brotherhood. Paying them like we pay athletes is well deserved, however it would encourage people to just join for the money. We can't have that.
I'm still in high school but ever since I was small, I have always respected the military from the drone pilots to the infantry. To me as long as you signed up to do your service and not for the glory then I salute you even if your not an officer because you are still at a risk and you still signed away your rights to join. Helping the military in every way possible is the best thing to do as a civilian. I always try my best to let people know, the military is not just shooting a gun and getting attention for it. It is about protecting the country so others can sleep at night.
I'm in high school too but I wanted to join till I was diagnosed with scoliosis and clubfoot I was going to join marines because that's my favorite branch and I dont want to fight to be known or for glory I want to fight for the American people so they can stay free and live happy god bless the USA
I am a U.S. Army MP Veteran serving from 2003-2005 and i would ilke to see all these little ungrateful bastards get DRAFTED for a WAR. Then we will see how much the American Flag will mean to them then.
Particularly special to me to play this often and loudly on Memorial Day weekend. Gratitude to all who stood the watch and the loved ones who supported them.
wow just wanted to say i was getting in my head a little bit and this song definetly helped thank you i served 3 tours over in Helmand Provence Afghanistan and had a lot of friends leave early and alot of friends not make it back but i wanted to thank you for your service and this song

Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service SGT. This song is truly touching, I've loved it since I have first listened to it. Thank you sir, for all the sacrifices you and your battle buddies have made for this country. Stay frosty.

Thank you for your service Sergeant. I can't wait to serve my Country, and people like you motivate me to do so. It will be an honor.
Song still gives me goose bumps everytime i hear it. Still brings me to tears. Ive been struggling mentally ever since i came back.This song helps a bit and to see there is hope for me to adjust back into scoiety. thank you for this song. a lot of poeple dont understand the kind of sacrifice we made and what we went through.
Thank you for your service. This song means a lot to me. I lost my uncle in early 2007 in Afghanistan, and then in 2010 I also lost my brother. Nice to hear such a comforting song. I plan on joining the Marines myself next year once I graduate high school. This song warmed my heart. Thank you.
thanks for listening Tyler. Im glad you liked it. Im sorry for your families loss. I hope this continues to help comfort and drive their legacy on
Always Remember our Brothers and Sisters who have paid the Ultimate Sacrifice...
For those who served, Thank you for your service. As a young man myself planning to go into the Air Force, it amazes me what you servicemen probably or did go through fighting for this wonderful country of America, or any country worth serving for. You all risked your lives so that your families could know that their future of safety isn't in jeopardy. Remember what you fought for and if you are struggling, find something to be happy for, whether it is your parents, your wife, children, girlfriend, friend. Anyone around you is happy that you served, and if there is someone who isn't, then they don't deserve your time to argue about it. Politics has nothing to do with serving your country. It is truly the want to defend the rights of your friends and family and all you hold dear. Thank you all!
I wasn't born in this country. My heart and loyalty goes to another country because that's where my family's history belongs. After living in this country for nearly 20 years, I've grown to hate and love certain things, as any person would. I generally disagree with the government and how they treat its people because in my eyes, only they want is more money, regardless of the cost. For men and women like yourself, I have the upmost respect. You guys are the true heroes. Regardless of people's view of how this country is ran, you folks make it a safe place for anyone to live. You guys not only lay your lives down for us, but that hardest thing, to me, must be leaving your families. Every time you come back from war, you must have missed something from your children growing or another event that happens one in a lifetime. For those reasons, I salute you all. Thank you for your service. Thank you for risking your lives for people you have and never will meet. Thank you for leaving your families so we can stay with ours. Keep your heads up and never forget, what you do, saves our country.
TheYoyo2369 thank you for taking the time
this was the best thing i have heard in a long time, thank you for your support of us soldiers.
I agree government has killed my dad he is still here but he is dying agent orange Vietnam under water demolition team 3 years he fought for the government to spit in his face some of the stories he told me he doesn't like talking about it but.. . just terrible
wow well stated dang. i feel the same way.
Just remember most of us imigrated over jere ibe been there and no soldier fights for a goverment we do it so it doesnt go to our front door and we fight for each other you included there is no shaded of grey in a soldierd eyed
My pap was in the navy during Vietnam and I’m insisting when I turn 18. U inspire me so much. Thanks for ur service 🙏🏻🇺🇸
Seen this performed in person at Josh Collins' place called Huske Hardware bar in Fayetteville, N.C., GREAT GREAT song thank you for your service SSG Nathan Fair.
Brian Larson haha wow! Thanks for coming out to that at Huskes!
Thank You for your services the American Soldiers...❤❤❤
My uncle served in Iraq in the United States Marines as a Staff Sergeant (SSgt).He served in the Marines for 20 years.
U
511 actual
We all have our stories.... I have mine, mine are scars on the inside and outside. Kids constantly stare, I'm embarrassed to even go outside, go to friends funerals. My friend died about 2 months ago, i was so ashamed to go to his funeral, see his wife and kids. I had worse injuries than him and i live. Why couldn't he live? He had a family, i had no one, ptsd, no job, limbs missing. I'm getting on with life, met a girl, adopted a service dog, having a kid, life can turn out pretty damn good after accidents. I'll say this to you:
If you go into the military. Stick together as a team, brotherhood and sisterhood. Not as a single person, be a better person, save lives. Retire and come home to amazing family, kids, grandkids. Once a soldier always a damn proud soldier... OORAHH
I lost my brother overseas.... I blame myself. We've been best friends since we were 5. We enlisted in the marines together. I was on my first deployment, we were on patrol when a sniper in the hills triggered a IED, our humvee rolled and turned. Throwing my friend out of the gunners spot.... I was stuck in the burning humvee for a couple mins until some soldiers got me out..... I came home on a plane in a seat, my friend came home in a body bag.
My second deployment, I lost 3 of my best friends in a Helicopter crash, I almost lost my life but i fought through the pain and tears. Im suffering from survivors guilt and not a day goes by that I don't miss them. Every day i want to end it, my life is over basically, no job no legs no arm Burnt over half of my body. This happend one year ago:( I'm 26 and I'm leg less.
i served 2 tours in the sandbox, lost good friends. I had served 6 years, then i got sent home after a bad accident. My dad died when i was 7, my oldest brother died at 21 and i was only 10. My mom opened the door and saw 2 marines at the door, she fell in tears as they said i was badly injured in a accident which killed my best friends. Every day from age 7-23 i wanted to serve my country, i did, i did fail, i did succeed. A couple months ago... My younger brother was killed after an IED went off below his feet, killing him and his K9 Rex. My friend recently died, I'm 26 and I have no job, and i can't live on my own. You know everyday i hear a door slam, i hear a explosion in my ears, yelling turns to be soldiers crying in pain. PTSD is the worst thing to live with. SEMPER FI!! OORAH
I'm really sorry for your loses... But, as soldiers, you are prepared for that. The military is not a nice place, you get some and you lose some, but there's no need to blame yourself for all of their lives that got lost. Try to live through it, as even when it seems lost, remember who was there for you and who continues with you.
- Future Israeli Soldier. ❤
Sleepy Guy I love Israel! Blessing to you and others. WAR is coming according to the Bible.
God bless you sir thank you for your service you are in my prayers Jesus loves you and your friends
There myself brother nit as much happened to me but i also lost my fair share of friends over there some where on my call and that i will have to live with for the rest of my life keeo your head strong and just remember the one thing that stops me from pulling that trigger what they would do to you if they seen you about to do what you want that is what has always stopped me but as for your comment of your battle being over it is far from over brother it has only really only just began slightly older then you but even my fight is only just starting the real fight is the battle you fight in your head after you get home
God bless you and thank you for your service and sacrifice to this fine nation.
May the lord watch over you and all soldiers, living, retired, or the fallen.
God bless you, and thank you for your service.
"a soldier never dies alone, knowing that where they fall dead or alive the hand of their brothers in arms will get them home or die trying"
They lyrics means their family. alone from them. I know you mean, trust me. No one knows more than combat infantryman
Nathan Fair The song says it all. Thank you to who all sever.
Nathan Fair thanks for the song man, it brought tears to my eyes, bringing up memories of the friends I lost this last deployment.
You did your service for us now it is time for us to serve you. Thank you a again for serving
Francine Bradley I think it's about time we all stepped up and do our part I would rather die serving my country on the front line than in my bed
When you are listening to music during free time in class, and you have to excuse yourself because your crying. This happened to me yesterday, and I actually had to leave the room I was crying so hard. When I came back in, everyone was making fun until I asked the teacher if I could look up the song and play the video for the class. Even some of the boys had tears in their eyes. God bless all the fallen in Iraq, Afghanistan, and all other places. See you all in heaven, you brave men and women. I also really like the guys who are doing that thing with the guns. You are amazing! I think you have an amazing voice, and this song saddens me and makes me feel better knowing that there are people who care
Truly the best description of PTSD I have ever seen or heard and it was in a song. Amazing
I know brother I live it
All I can say is "THANK YOU" for giving those that I have lost their own tribute song. SEMPER FI....
Thank you for sharing your video it's simply amazing no words can describe the goosebumps I get every time listening to your song. My husband has 3 tours Iraq 05-06 Afghanistan 11-12 Afghanistan 13-14 he showed me this song and it hits home for both of us. He always said the Heros are the ones who don't come home and that all he does is his job if he brings all his men home then he's done his job. Once again thank you for sharing.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and listen Danielle, thank you for your husbands service as well. Airborne!
Thank you for your service and for encouraging me to not give up my dream to fight for this country! I am proud to serve next me men like you! Thank you Mr. Fair!
for all those who laid down their life's I would like to thank you for your service
Thank you to our solider's who fought for us, thank you feeling fighting where we can stay free. We are so lucky to have you guys fight the war where we all can be free.
this song makes me cry. thank you to all the brothers san sisters that aint comin back. rest easy. bless y'all and y'all families.
I'm very glad that in today's world I still see the young youth of America still willing to serve. It also makes me proud knowing that in the world today, despite everything that's going on, we still have patriots that are not afraid to rise up and fix the problems that we are currently facing today.
+Mark Watson This country saved my grandfather in the vietnam war. He was a POW of 6 years.Operation homecomming brought my grandfather home. To show our thanks all the men in my family served, now its my turn and i will not break that tradition. People today seem to forget what this country is made of and what made it great in the first place. Land of the free because of the brave. Simple words that will forever be the reason i do what i do.
I was army infantry from 2002-2010 and 4 tours. This was one of the best and worst times of my life. I don't care to let people know what the fuck I went through which h is hard for my family. So many young soldiers were under me who admitted they regret joining during a time of war.
It's sad seeing what our country and government is turning into, I want to see a country and government like we had in the 40s. People were strong, determined, and willing. We aren't a united country anymore, we are turning divided. Gladly though we still have some people that are strong, determined, and willing. I hope we are reformed into our former glory before it's too late.
No matter what happens, this is my home and I love this land.
defcon 173 since I am diabetic I can't join the military but I am willing to help and this is the country that we were born in so mine as well die for it and I hate it that not that many teenager's listen to this actual music like Patriotic, Country, and Cristian music
I heard pride in his voice and saw it in his eyes when your dad told me of your military career. He told me about this song also and Ive shared the link with several people. Thank you for serving and for the tribute to your fellow soldiers.
My dad is a talking man. Thank you for listening to the my music. Im glad you like it!
SGM Nick you are never really gone as long as people remember you and your legend lives on still to this day . R.I.P. warrior you earned it .
Thanks to all of our troops that have served. I have a few members of my family that are in the army but thankfully haven't had to go overseas yet. The world would be a better place if there wasn't any type of a war. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!
Thanks for your support.
800,000 of these views are by me haha! can't stop listening to this amazing song!! thank you for your service and great song!
DC Crawlers me to
My grandfather served the airborne rangers for 10 years and this song hits home to a big big point I'd love to have every body in America to listen to this song because there are a lot of truth in it I take my hat off and thank all the veterans who served our great country and I'm very sorry to to family members of our fallen veterans who served as well I'd like to thank the family members of the veterans because y'all help us keep this world a better place!!
Our opinions may not always agree on war, BUT no matter my opinion I ALWAYS support those who served. I cannot fathom being disrespectful like some people do. Our Brave men and women fight for that freedom so many take for granted.
Absolutely perfect song. God bless those who've served and died to defend this nation.
Yours truly, A Patriotic Citizen
my dad served

Thank you for this great song and your service to this beautiful country.
this song brings alot of memories back about my uncle being in the service i miss him so much😭
still touching, Great song!
Thank you for this video, I've seen lots of people who have went to Helmand Provence who didn't make it home, I lost some good friends over there and to know people still care means a lot. I signed up to be in the Armed Forces as either an MP or as a Marine Infantry. Waiting to hear back. Thank you to all who have served our country died for it and who are still fighting for us God bless you all be safe and come home.
this song is amazing wounded veteran here and my brothers and sisters in now get as much as you can out of it....when you get out not much support in some areas.... god bless and God speed!!
Just can stop from listening this song ,its heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time
We could tell that drill team wasn't a few paid actors... they were SHARP!
Thank you for your service Nathan. I don't run and neither does my colors. I will stand, I will fight or I will die trying. There is no greater love than a man/ woman to lay down their life for their country. Thank you to the brave men and women who gave their lives for us to be free
Dustin Blackstone Thanks for watching Dustin
May God bless every service man and woman all over the world.
Veterans, God bless you and thank you for serving our country.
And they calling Justin Bieber an artist
THIS IS REAL ART WITH A GREAT VOICE
Hate Bieber but this guy is the shit I salute just for the song + of course I salute to his service and the men who never made it back much respect earned thru this song and absolutely love the little drill they got happening...
Gonna be my Anzac Day song.. full stop.
Justin Bieber got his a$$ kicked at a basketball game. Dudes a pussy and couldn't ever understand how people liked his music. I still don't listen to it even when people try too listen to it I tell them to turn that Pu$$y off the radio.
Song hits different now. Joined the Army in 2017 as an 11B. 2 combat deployments one to Afghanistan and one to Iraq, then back to Afghanistan to help with the withdrawal as a civilian contractor. I listened to this song when I was in high school. But it’s different now.
I love this song. I got to listen to it 25 times a day. Thank you this is such a powerful song.
Wish u would come to my little town call mcconnellsburg pa and sing for my town. Thank u for ur service.
Natashia Mumma Thanks Natasha. Im glad you like it! I don't know where that is, but I will look it up!
Nathan Fair sounds good! I believe I live in the smallest town only have two streetlight. I would love to meet you. You are amazing
My town growing up didnt have any. Graduating class of 42 people
Nathan Fair I believe I had 42 people in my graduating class. I message you on Facebook about having problems downloading your music
Have a beer for the fallen

dan scott Order a tall one!!!
Tequila shoots
I remember listening to this within its first year on YT, I was a high school kid back then, I enlisted, served, EASd, but this song still gives me chills every time I hear it
still floods me with memories...powerful song that deserves ALOT more attention. but i feel as though only vets could really connect with this song.
I love this song. I'm not a vet but come from a string military family background. Thank you for your service
Strong*
This song is truly amazing. Thank you so much for your service sir, I wish there was a better way I could go about showing you my appreciation. If it helps any, I've listened to this song about 48 times in the last 2 days. I'm addicted to it!
Thanks bubba. just sharing it with others helps!
I spent 6 years in the army. I’m 11 b. 19 d. Airborne! Came home, felt lost. Sometimes I still do!
I can't believe how beautiful this is, or how you were able to sing it without crying. I didn't make it 10 seconds into the video without starting to cry,
Me too.
Hi Spence Fusselman I really enjoyed your song. Your music and presentation touched my heart. I'm sorry for your lose. Being a 100% disabled Veteran US ARMY, I pause and Salute all the fallen and rejoice for those who have made it back home to there loved ones. Wishing you the very best. God Bless You and Our Beloved Troops. Peace & Joy. DE OPPRESSO LIBER and God Bless America
Spence Fusselman made the video, but it was my little brother Nathan Fair who wrote this song, and sings it. ;) However, HUGE KUDDOS to Spence!!!!
thank you for your service to the country
+Kelly Pearson would love to meat Nathan
There are MANY people who would love to meet him! You can help him by getting his music from ITunes, and donate to a worthy Veteran Cause! Thanks so much, Marsha!! :)
+Kelly Pearson is he coming to FT Campbell any time soon?
Love this song. Reminds me of my dad when I was little. Hes a fallen soldier. All respect to everyone that has served our country. Much love 😖😢♥️
its so sad when you now how it is THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICES to anyone who watches this who has served
my uncle served 22 years in the navy he just recently passed away this song hits home
i'm sorry
@@rover-qx5eq amen
Thank you for this beautiful song, I think about my family who served in the various services and the night mares that they had to carry throughout their lives... I shall always be grateful for your words put to music and so eloquently sung... I know that my uncle's and my dad would understand these words... Amongst the other ones who also served I say thank you...
Sergeant, I just wanted to say that this is a great song, and a great tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I'm currently in the Army stationed at Fort Campbell.
Nathan! As a Army wife things are not easy when they have to be away. thank you for sharing your song with us. Thank you for everything you have done for us to be free. Keep strong
You are welcome! Thanks for listening!
Greatest Warrior Tribute of all time! Salute to the writers, SSG Nathan Fair and the late Cpl. Anthony R. Peterson.
That moment when you are listening to this song in class and have to pretend like you are not crying.
John marshall Thanks for listening John, I appreciate your support! Why were you watching this in class?
we are doing a project in my media class where we have to make a music video and the teacher asked for examples of good music videos and i recommended this one.
Thats pretty awesome. thanks!
Nathan Fair Thank you for your service
Thanks Carol, wouldn't have it any other way
Why doesn't this song have more views. Share this video guys. This song deserves the views.
I do agree with you, however more views equaling more people stopping by, being assholes, and disliking the video for no reason whatsoever, as they do with every youtube video
Nathan Fair Keep it up, wonderful job and love the song. Much respect :-) I come from a military family myself, I have not served but have many close to me who have. And I could not respect them more for it. God bless this great nation. We need more people like you Nathan. :-)
MrSandvitches True. Did not think about that aspect.
Sup3r6f0ur Hi ._.
i appreciate this song a lot. it really speaks for me and makes me happy to know that there are people out there that still have respect for our troops. thank you for your service to all of those who have served
This song really is amazing thank you. Hearing music like this motivates me alot and reminds me of the many who have served before me. Thank you for making this song
Brings me to my knees and brakes my heart! Missed, not forgotten! Scouts out! Until fiddlers green!!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🍻😭
Thank you for your service! To every Military service member, Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do for this great country! God Bless You All!
Nathan what a great job! Keep up the good work! By far my favorite song! PVT Haataja.
Sounds and such are such strong memory makers. I remember hearing the calls for support. I thank you for this song though it triggers memories I thank you so much. The shots whizzing by makes me shutter but this song brings so much pride.
This song hits Home 4 me! I lost my cousin fighting in Afghanistan in an Ambush...he left behind 2 kids and a Baby on the way. We grew up close and we were like Brothers...He always said he was gonna be a Soldier;Just 2 bad he died as one, even if it is Honorable!! This song brings tears 2 my eyes...so many lives lost fighting a War that I don't fully understand...supposedly in the name of Freedom and defending the weak. But why must we always be so quick to jump into a Fight? I guess I question it because of all the lives lost, fathers not coming home 2 their kids....and Families losing their loved ones...forgive me if you are Military...I don't mean disrespect...I Honor u all and love u for what y'all do!! Just hard 2 take losing loved ones in a War that has lasted longer than any other War!!
My biggest fear had been how my dad and family would deal with it if I didn't come back. To imagine being a parent on the other side of that . . .
Beautiful music, SSG. Made me a bit teary eyed, I'll admit.
HeadshotWaffle thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it
Thanks to every soldier I am now a army girlfriend missing him so much can't wait till he comes home in February
I came home from Iraq since ive been home ive been chasing what i dont know. I miss my brothers. Fell like i should of not made it home alive. Every day is a struggle
This is freaking beautiful and sad as hell 😭. I love that you had the drill team (in CT they called them Silver Dolphins) in the video too!
What a very powerful song. I love it.
I love seeing music as a healing point for those who are invisibly wounded. Music saved my life from being destroyed by PTSD.
me being a U.S ARMY Veteran serving as an MP from 2003-2005, this song hits hard watering my eyes knowing I Have FALLEN BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO NEVER CAME BACK FROM FIGHTIN THE WAR IN IRAQ. I MAY HAVE THE WAR ON TERRORISM MEDAL BUT ID BE MORE COMFORTABL HAVE THE FALLEN BACK. A MEDAL IS JUST STAMPED PEICE OF MEDAL AND FABRIC, A LIFE IS MORE THAN THAN. THERE ARE SOME DAYS I CANT EVEN LOOK AT MY SHADOW BOX ON MY WALL WITH MY MEDALS WHILE PASSING AS I WALK BY THEM.
I listen to this song now and I keep thinking about my Great granddad who served in ww2 and the korean war who died last week and his funeral was yesterday i still can't believe he is gone
Hes kickin around in Valhalla. keep your chin up and follow in his shoes, im sorry for your loss friend
Thank you
+MasterNinja R.I.P Thanks for service
This song gives me goosebumps all the time.... Those gun shots made me shiver! Those who served and are serving for our country Thank You! You have all of my respect! You are all in my prayers....🇺🇸🙏🏻 I can't thank you enough for what you have done, if I could tell you I'd be typing for the rest of my life! Thank you 🇺🇸❤️❤️💪🏻
my brother never made it back home so thank you for this because it helped me realize that he tried his best and most people won't if they went through this thank you
God bless, sorry for your brother! he served a great nation that will not Forget him!
