0:33 "Travelin' Soldier"
by Bruce Robison
Made famous by the Dixie Chicks in 2002, “Travelin’ Soldier” is a tale about a shy American soldier who strikes up a conversation and later a correspondence with a high school girl during the Vietnam War. Despite the distance, the two form a relationship with their letters that eventually leads to heartbreak.
As we social distance, our relationships change and letter writing can be a great way to keep in touch.
6:25 "Rocket Man"
by Elton John and Bernie Taupin
“Rocket man” by Elton John, was inspired by the short story of the same name from the book “The Illustrated Man” by Ray Bradbury. The song describes a Mars-bound astronaut’s mixed feelings at leaving his family in order to do his job.
In these times, we see Soldiers and other essential workers staying at a distance from their families to keep everyone safe.
10:40 "More than a Name on a Wall"
by Jimmy Fortune
Written by Jimmy Fortune and John Rimel and recorded by The Statler Brothers, “More Than a Name on a Wall” was released in April 1989. The song, about a mother visiting the Vietnam Wall to see her son’s name, came to Jimmy Fortune after he visited the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C. With so many names on the wall, he looked for the stories behind them; they were mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons... and so much more than just names.
There are many beautiful memorials in Washington D.C. The U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own” often performs at many of them! What is your favorite national memorial?
15:09 "Country Roads"
by John Denver, Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert
#DYK One of John Denver’s most popular and beloved songs was actually written before John Devner and co-writers had ever even visited West Virginia? Inspiration came to song writers Danoff and Novert while they were driving through windy roads of Gaithersburg, Maryland. They considered singing about Massachusetts, but decided West Virginia had a better ring to it and the song “Country Roads” soon became a hit.
18:09 "Thank God I’m a Country Boy"
by John Martin Sommers
Songwriter John Martin Sommers wrote “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” in 1973. Sommers recalls at the time, he was feeling peaceful, happy, and content with his lot in life. As he began scribbling notes about his blissful state, he found his inspiration for the song, which was made famous by John Denver in 1975.

My son is currently serving overseas. I sing this for him 😢 and pray I never receive that call . God bless and watch over our military- past and present. ❤🇺🇸🦅🙏🙏🦅🇺🇸
It gives this old veteran chills I can't believe it is over fifty years since I came home no parades no welcome home just the girl who waited three years for me and still the love of my life ❤❤❤
True love!
Sgt. 1st Class Tracy LeBrecque, you had me in tears in all the same spots The Chicks do. I always sing along, and I always cry. This song is like 20 years old? It just breaks my heart. My husband was a Viet Nam vet who made it home. PTSD plagued him for the rest of his life. Unfortunately the Agent Orange cancer got him in 2016. Blessed be, gods watch over you all.
What is most regrettable is that America's servicemen and women were lied to by their Commander in Chief. That was a violation of a most *SACRED* trust that should exist between any soldier and his commander. Viet Nam, Gulf of Tonkin lie ... Afghanistan ... Invaded before proving what caused the complete collapse of three World Trade Center buildings on the day of 9-11-01 (WTC 1, 2 & 7) , Iraq, based on a lie.
I just wanted to comment on your post. Last week 2023 June I was asked by the widow (and friend) of a Canadian solder to attend her husband’s ceremony. He was to receive the Canadian sacrifice medal (post humous) as he, also, died as result of the agent orange cancer. My husband served with him at their final posting. After 43 years my husband has since retired and he now has a service dog to support and assist through difficult situations. I need to say that the support from the American public, in general, for the military is amazing, I really wish we had that in Canada. We won’t talk about the neglect of the government, it seems to be systemic throughout the world. My husband was honoured to work with some amazing American soldiers, they still call him for support. My thanks✌️🇨🇦
You "both" gave your all! Bless you and it's some relief to know he's no longer suffering and is resting in eternal peace!
You're in my prayers. You've gone through the loss of a husband who served in Viet Nam. That was our generation. He deserves to be honored.
These songs really inspire those who have had husbands serving our country. These songs help me.
my heart bleeds with you. i lost my soldier in afganistan in 08 I was injured out in 17. we often get precious little thanks
All your songs are amazing great country music you are all amazing singers ,bless you all
I was 14 writing a cousin in Vietnam. He came home after 2 tours, but he wasn't the same. The Army rejected his request for a third tour. Hearing that first song really woke me up, again. I wish I knew where he is today. Just faded into the background. Bless him wherever he is.
Fighting thinking you are making a difference only to find out your country betrays you and the innocent people in the poor country they tried to destroy for the military complex. Many men that came back from that Obamanation of a corrupt arms war of profit were never the same and God bless those that never came home and F-ck our military complex.
Requested a third tour but denied. Probably saved his life. God bless him.
D relief contact the survive in which he served and see if they have a forwarding address
I pray for him.
Several men in my life were messed up for life by Vietnam. My uncle screamed in his sleep every night the rest of his life.
One of the hardest days was watching my best friend entering boot camp, and then getting ready to be deployed. Sleep is not a thing because I stay up talking to him becauee I never know when it could be the last time. May God Watch over those who are serving our country and bring them home safely
Love the Service Bands!!! They sing great!! I served in USAF for 23 Years!!I Went around the world three times!! Loved what I did for Our Country!! Heard these alsome Service Bands Everywhere!!! Just can't get enough of their wonderful Music and God their beautiful to to voices!! God Bless them all!!!!💓💓💓💓
God bless you for your service . Some of my family did the right thing and proudly served in the US Airforce . Some still do . They are stationed at Wright Patterson Base in Ohio.
National Guard also, 👍
Thank you for your service. My son is currently serving in the USMC, my daughter is an aerospace engineer making weapons protecting America. Very proud of my children. Thank you America for giving them the opportunities to become who they are today.
Thank them for me please.
Thank You Sir.@@brunojones2308
Absolutely brilliant and very touching😢. I see the Drummer tapping his foot to time and I wondered if he had a bass drum with pedal how would it sound. ? When I thought about it and thought of how marching military bands have both snare and base drums it convinced me that a small base an pedal might sound lovely, having said that it sounds fantastic as it is . We'll done all of you
These folks could easily go professional after they are done with the army thank you all so much for your service
These young people are just wonderful and they do such a beautiful job of singing these songs. God bless you and keep you far from harm. From an Aussie Vietnam Veteran 1970-71
I had no idea Aussies were in Vietnam. Amazing.
16:01 I've become addicted to ARMY bands. My daddy was in the army. He gave me his wings when I was 16. I lost him when I got married and had my 1st son. I miss him so much. My momma married him when he got out of the army. Mixed emotions, most them good. Music is the window to the soul. God Bless y'all be safe. Thank you!
My grandmother married an army man
This Soldier really sounds like John Denver! John Denver would be HONORED to hear this SOLDIER!🇺🇸🙏
Really Appreciate your Time and effort
As A Vietnam Veteran US ARMY 82nd I'm not regretting
I'm Proud
Thanx for sharing your Great Music 🎶
Have a Great Day 👍
God Bless America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
Congratulations from Ireland to your brave soldier s. Keep the world safe.
Absolutely beautiful. I have two children in the Canadian Air Force. I worked 8 years field service for USAF. My total respect and admiration for the people in the military.
I love you guys you make me feel proud to be a soldier only if I knew where y'all were playing I would go to hear you in person
This was the first time I saw this and it was truly amazing. It made this almost 65 year old lonely man cry. GOD BLESS YALL
So beautiful! Who better to sing and play these songs than those who serve? Thank you all for your service and for sharing your talents❤️🇺🇸🎶
Sorry - I accidentally hit thumbs down for your comment - hopefully, I got it corrected (from an old sailor, Viet-Nam vet, who served with some great ASA soldiers.)
I want to thank you for your service!!! 🇺🇸
This is the most touching and beautiful songs I have ever heard! I know that the 58000+ soldiers are in Heaven with our Lord and savior. Amen
@@howardthrongard640thank you so much for your service ❤❤❤
Thank you to the group for the wonderful performance of this song! And MORE importantly, that you SO MUCH for your service. God bless and keep you always.❤ 👍🇺🇲
This concert was 3 years ago but I’m just now finding it.
I married a Viet Vet who dealt with a brain tumor after coming home, very arthritic hips, and loads of silent suffering. Married now for 43 years. Wives of veterans should be given a pat on the back at the very least for sticking by their veterans side, dealing with all of the issues now from 50+ years ago. Life isn’t easy but there are good times in between the bad. Any Vet who has been in country have seen things we can only imagine. Stand by your man/woman who gave their all for you to be here in the USA!
I served in the army during Vietnam . And this song ( More than a name on a wall ) . Has always held a special place in my heart and soul . You guys perform this song with honor , dignity and pride. Thank you
That was a war worth fighting now, wasn't it? You would think people that were in Vietnam would have opened their eyes to the truth but no, only the ones that did were critically wounded and the ones killed never had a chance to open them again. You must have been in supply or some other BS outfit or you could have brain damage.
Some day, I probably need to see the wall. I just haven't been able to bring myself to see it. I know too many of the names. I have wondered if I dishonor those I knew, and all the others, by not going to see it. I don't know. Welcome home Soldier. From an old Marine, Semper Fi. RVN--'69-'70.
@@rkf2746 Thanks brother Welcome home. Viet-Nam 67-68.
Thank you for your service you will never be forgotten!
thank you for youer service from denmark
Hope you all appreciate the talents and dedication your service men and ladies provide for your country
Fuck that...and fuck Bush 1 and 2 as well. Great song though. I served under number 1 so save the bullshit.
As an 83 year old Navy veteran I am so glad I just found this channel. My good impressions of your group is beyond my ability to express. I am so thankful for all of you! Absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you for your service ❤
THANK YOU
God Bless you, sir, and thank you so much for your Service to our Nation. ❤❤
Richardshuford. Hello,from another 83 year old navy man, who was outside of Havana harbor in CUBA on the JACK W.WILKE EDE 800 DESTROYER ESCORT when FIDEL CASTRO & his army entered Havana city.CUBA. hearing all them Thompson machine guns firing in the streets over the local radio we were listing to. A female broadcaster was begging someone to save her,when the door was busted open, a machine gun opened fire,spraying the room,& then there was silence.a 1/2 hour passed before a man started broadcasting again in spanish. Take care now, wishing you well & a long life. Amen
From the UK just discovered this today and believe me folks it really did make my Friday.Being a huge fan of John Denver the Chicks and I just love Country Music it was right up my street .Love all the instruments Harmonies and you all look amazing in your Uniforms .United we Stand Three Huge Cheers for the US Army Band ❤ from the UK thank you all for brightening up my day.
All songs just fantastic. Hats off to our U.S. Army. They do it all. Thank You.
They are lovely but not in the league of our Royal Marines, sorry 😞
Army all the way "Rangers "
This is wonderful. As a retired army soldier, I’m really proud of these folks.
Thank you from an old sailor (Viet-Nam 1970-73). My son-in-law is a retired Master Sergeant - 29 years in the World’s Greatest Army. Hooah!
Me too brother!
Thank you for your service and for honoring us with your beautiful music. ⚓ I'm an army brat who married a US Navy veteran. I appreciate all you do for our country.
❤🇺🇸🙏
Can I see my grandad and my dad on the wall?
Go Army beat Navy
If all the soldiers of the world fought only with such weapons, God provide.
Thanks: I salute you all. That first song takes me back 50+ years, when my parents (long gone) we're mortally afraid for our older brother (now gone, too) being shipped off to Vietnam. Our father died before my brother returned, so it was a final goodbye. Seems like another lifetime ago, but also as if it were yesterday.
Oh my yes. My USMC Dad ... Pacific theater ... A long time ago ... in a place so far away ... I was fortunate ... Germany 2 1/2 years ... I never forget that I freed up a space for some other GI to go to Viet Nam ... Glad your Brother made it home ... I hope his spirit is at peace ...
@@dunexapa1016 Thanks for the kind thoughts and comment. Two tours changed him profoundly, and I can't say we (his three brothers) really understood what made him tick afterward. He was productive and always worked but smoked a lot of dope, and never married. He was curious about the world and well read, but "at peace"?? I don't know. He loved the blues, history of all kinds, science fiction, the Cleveland Indians, and cats. He's resting at the Veteran's Cemetery outside Arvin, California.
@@kevinrussell1144 , I believe I understand a good bit why so many of my Brothers-inArms are hurting so much. They have been lied to for decades. There is a *SACRED* bond of trust that should exist between any soldier and his commanding officer. You do not ever, knowingly, order a soldier to do what is morally wrong. The greatest help you could give and the greatest respect you could show to America's Servicemen and Women is to make sure that sacred oath is respected and to call out and do what you can to hold any person that lies to a soldier accountable. I have found solace in the Bible and love the teachings of Jesus Christ Christ. I do not call myself a Christian, just try to live by his words. To me, they are words of life, just as he says. I only ask of people that they read them for their own self. If the they do not speak to your heart, there is not one word I could add to them. Just four books of the Bible, Matthew Mark, Luke and John ... King James Version recommended, the New Internal Version is very good. Wishing you the best, physically, spiritually and mentally. 'Old Soldier' (nickname) Dune, still on the battlefield for America and God's truth.
@@kevinrussell1144 Being traumatized is a sad effect of war, Even in WW2, many soldiers had to go to mental wards and treatment afterwards. Actress, Olivia de Havilland talked about it. Military Doctors asked her to visit these soldiers when she went on USO tours.. They said her calm sympathetic personality really helped "shell shocked" vets..
I can never get through "More Than a Name on the Wall" without losing it.
Traveling Soldier tears me up every time I hear it. My youngest son was a soldier, I was an airman and my dad was an airman, so this song has a lot of meaning for this family. Thanks for your service and thanks for sharing.
Very beautifully played and the vocals were excellent 👌 Well done to all. Thank you for your Service!
Dean, your voice is like a nice crisp morning brother!I love your work brother and the best band ever!
Thank you for all your service and support all your songs are awesome,bless you all
I serve 28 years in the military in the Air Force one of those years was in Laos where I served and worked with the Special Forces people the Green Berets I also have one of our sons was a Green Beret for 28 years what great units they are and boy do those songs bring back memories from that. Of time and he went on to serve a long Tour of Duty in a lot of battles thank you for that great music for an old man
I watched it for Traveling Soldier and it was so good I stayed and watched it all. I am an Army Brat and very proud to see this level of quality from the Army band.
Our military family covered every branch of the military at one time or another. No one lost their life, thank God! I had the honor of serving myself, as a WAC during the Korean War, not in harm's way though, as an office clerk.
Thanks all the service men and women for our country,,,we are all AMERICANS ,,,i salute to all the military servicemen,,,,GOD BLESS USA.😊
Thank you from a retired SGM.
that was moving, far beyond words for me. I feel so lost now, it was the best/worse time of my life. 1965-1967, G troop 2nd/14 AC
@Hello Roger how are you doing
Excellent. My favorite Dixie Chicks song. Thank you from a Navy wife living San Diego 1965-68.
Our Amazing superheroes should be part of the halftime show at the super bowl!🇺🇲🦅
I love your alls music and she has a heavenly voice. Thank you each and all for your service. I come from a military family , May God keep his palm on each and all. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Beautiful ladies with a beautiful voices. God bless and keep you all safe and healthy. Thank you for your service. Great group
Such an amazing performance. I'm from a proud multi- generational military family and seeing how these extremely talented musicians/soldiers are is proof that we still have one of the finest militaries in the world.
This would have been so much fun to do when I was in the Army.
I WAS IN THE NAVY THAT WAS GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gives me goosebumps every time I hear Travelin Solder as well as More Than a Name on the Wall. Well done! God bless you all.
What a lovely band . I love Country music and I respect what these musicians do.

Well, I never served in the military, but the first song always makes me tear up. Very grateful for all those who served and those who have their lives. 🇺🇸
I learned only recently that less than 1% of USA citizens serve in the military😳.
Im a 1SG Army. I was a travelin soldier. Southern boy. Ended up n Indiana, Pa one day in 83. Long way from Ft Bragg. Met a junior HS gal. Fell in love at first sight. Every Friday at 1600, I was off to Pa to see her. Married the fall of 85, after she graduated HS. 10 deployments later etc. still married. And al I wanted was a burger and sweet tea… Ended up with a burger, and my sweat tea, and oh a wife. ❤
😍
Ya know. Im not self braggin. But I saved three lives. Lost one on VA rt 15S. Head on crash with a semi. God the night mares when I saw a baby seat in the back. Looked hard. Huntin for the baby.Tried to pull her out. Then haws if life arrived. No baby. Thank God. Her husband wanted to talk to me. We spoke. Hard. Very hard. It was bad. Real bad. God the fear I felt when I saw it happening. Still think of it. Thank God Im a soldier with training.
Beautiful singing!!!Thank you so very much for your service!!!❤❤❤
Such a beautiful soldier woman with a talented singing voice.
Oh my, oh my oh my oh my ... This just so resonates with the soul of this old soldier ... Bless You ... 'Old Soldier Ray'
Just happened across this. What a great group of performers. You do the Army and all of us proud. I'm just a 76 year old AF retired MSG and Vietnam vet. My hat is off to you all.

Thank you for giving what you gave by serving !
Marlisa Woods can sing some harmony now. Excellent fiddle player Tracy and Dean are excellent lead singers. Fantastic band
I have been watching a lot of videos on TH-cam by The U.S. Army Band and Pershing's Own lately, they bring back a lot of memories. I served on active duty in the Army for 12½-13 years. That is not including Individual Ready Reserve, nor regular Reserves. I had the privilege of listening to different parts/units of The Army Band live and in person, and I always enjoyed it. Since I was a kid I always wanted to learn how to play an instrument, but I do not have the talent, and my fingers are too short for me to play any of the instruments that I would have liked to play. As a result of that, I have always admired those who could play an instrument or could sing. I also have greatly enjoyed listening to and watching live music, in particular The Army Band, as a matter of pride. Thank you for providing me with hours of enjoyment.
Sincerely,
James H. Downing
SGT. U.S.A. Ret./Disabled Veteran
God bless you always. You are the pride of America!!
Take me home country roads, the only sound 8 guys pulling guard duty in basics knew the words to. We sang it, then the drills dropped us for being out of tune.
SWEET MEMORIES!
I, literally, got cold chills listening to this song!! I loved it when The Dixie Chicks sang it; but there is something about hearing it by someone in uniform. Love it!!!
This song will always remind me of my favorite 37 Foxtrot. It's been a long time since she went to Iraq and I still think of her whenever I hear it. She came home but life took us to different places, but she'll always be special to me.
I had 3 cousins who died in the Tonkin Gulf, during combat operations. They are not on the wall. Their ship, USS Frank Evan’s was cut in half by an allied country’s aircraft carrier.
How can she sing that without breaking down in tears.
A love combination of voices may be god protected them all in all the things they do sending love and hope always
Hello 👋 Elizabeth. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I Mark Clifford am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
She done turned that violin into a fiddle!!! GO GIRL!🇺🇸
God bless you all , keep Growing all ,,,,
As a vet this seems so much more relatable than the original. Maybe it's the uniforms and memories of overseas service.
Hoffentlich werde ich noch erleben, daß die Musikanten sowie Sänger aus Amerikaner und Russen bestehen wird. Gott helfe der Welt.
what a beauty!!! wish her to stay alive.
This is great music. Instruments are very good, The singer has a most beautiful voice. clear and distic. Good Job group. LOVE IT
Americas soldiers are like no other in this world. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful...
How beautiful she can sing. ❤️
All the way from Scotland 🏴. Simply haunting and beautiful. God bless.
Just heard your forces Army Band, absolutely beautiful
I listened to this song live in college before joining.The song conclusion was so heartpiercing I stayed out of relationship the entire 7 years I served.
I couldn't in good conscience put a beloved through that loss.
I dedicate this lovely renditiok to those whose loved ones never returned
