Q am
God bless you.
If this doesn't give you goose bumps, youre not human.
We were soldiers film everyone should watch. Thank you for your sacrifice!
We did it for the government on paper.but, did it so people could live not in fear.i still live those nights of wondering if I would come home.
@@anthonyroberts357 well I hope Anthony you are home now. My son is called Anthony I don't know how Soldiers do what they do special people
I will remember you in my prayers ! God bless you brave one.
I first saw the movie in Alabama with a young lady from Atlanta, the notifications of death sequence rediuced me to tears.
I’m an Aussie never served but aussies have fought with you yanks for over 100 yrs that is beautiful thank you .
Australia's contribution in New Guinea, North Africa and elsewhere is remembered and appreciated.
I am South African but I sometimes listen to this song and end up in tears .... Jesus Christ is Lord alone 😢
Amen
So true. Elvis Presley disliked being coined as 'the king'. He considered Christ is King, and that he was just an entertainer.
And of his kingdom there shall be no end. Amen amen amen.
Vietnam Vet here... beautiful..tears..
Thank you for your Service!
My husband was a young Army SF officer in IV Corps with the 5th SF down in the Delta. He never got over the loss of his CIDG & SF troopers. We watched this film together in our home. My tough guy shed tears. So I empathize with you when this music plays. When brave men shed tears of embattled memories, the circumstances must have been horrific. God be with you. Live well for those who cannot.
Love & respect from a Scotsman Dr 🙏🏻💙♥
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. - Abraham Lincoln
Outstanding!!! Thank you for the reminder!!
Amen from someone who was the Pentagon on 9/11.
Beautiful
I love this song. These heros are so good.
America at its greatest!!!!
I was never called on to serve; but I dearly respect and love those who did. We are blessed by those who have "stood on the wall". I truly pray that our wonderful country ALWAYS remains worthy all their sacrifice. God bless America, and, please, America, bless God.
My father and my uncles served in the second world war they have all passed and this song brought tears to my eyes, remembering my father sacrifices to keep us free. Miss you, dad. ❤️
What a sad and yet immensely beautiful piece of music. God bless all of America's fallen heroes. May they shine on in Heaven.
I'm a Canadian and I love my American neighbours. Bless you all.
From An American Soldier We love you too forever allies 🇺🇸🇨🇦
As a Vietnam vet this song is very moving to me. I do not know why I came home and my dear friend did not.I still ponder on this 51 years later. I do look forward to the Mansion of the Lord.
Dear Mr. Wesson, I was a Soldier, Once and Young. Now I too am old and gray. I never forget that you and Canada are really our best ally and friend. Not our cousins the Brits, though we all respect and admire them too. But you are much closer by distance and in the heart. God Bless and Forever protect Canada. Your friends down under. And thank you for singing the American National Anthem when most Americans' can't during Hockey games. Sincerely, Respectfully and with Love, old Soldier.
@@elfriedehobson5239 Thank you for your service Elfriede. God bless you!
We love and appreciate our Canadian friends, as well. ❤
As a soldier, I can't help but shed tears....to all my brothers and sisters who gave all....I honor you!!!!! To those who criticize and insult those of us who served...you need to thank us....for without us...you would have no freedom!!!!!! HOO-RAH!!!!!!
We served without them watching - but that was the life we chose - to the fallen the glory - for those that remain the quiet pride of knowing we gave.
Now the government is asssaulting the constitution left and right. And you are protecting these criminals and in reality fighting for the Davos Jets set and Klaus Schwab N6zis. Bombing women and children as ruined the American name.
especially poignant at Memorial Day services
Hoo Rah
Our freedom rests on the constitution which you swore and oath to defend, we do not thank you for our freedom but your service.
When i took my Dad to West Point, we heard them play and sing this song, it was only the second time i saw tears coming his face really crying . I asked him why the tears, he told me it brings back memories of his friends and comrades he lost in both Korea and Viet Nam
So sad, my father cried at the sound of music. My son gets mad at me when I tell make it seem that men can't have feelings (: He is more attuned than me to equality. Different experiences I guess.
Thanks for your comitment^
instead of korean people
@@sgtwotitan4012 real men cry.
God bless you and your Father for your service, for each and EVERY sacrifice you & your family made so that I & my family are Happy, Safe and Free. Thank you. Also please Tell your Father I wish to thank him from the bottom of my heart, for his many years of service. A Generation like His generation will Never be seen again. 👨🏼✈️🪖⛑🎖🏅🫡🫡
All of us gave some; some of us gave ALL!
To my platoon Sgt. Ron Sager, I miss you daily. We thought we were invincible. On day in May in Cambodia we both learned we were wrong. You left us, and I carry the burden daily. I miss you old friend. May God watch over you. Your platoon Leader, Tom Henderson. 3rd Plt, “D” Company, 1/5, 1st Cav.

brad rook much respect to you sir and to memory of son. On this Memorial Day, we remember him and you. God bless you sir.
To my fallen Vietnam brothers, you are never forgotten. You are gathered with all o our fallen colleagues from all our wars. You were our best, we miss you. Sleep well.
To all our Service members who recently lost their lives in Afghanistan. "No more pleading, no more fight, no prayers pleading through the night...just Divine embrace and Eternal Light...in the Mansions of the Lord."
Sitting here thinking of my friends that didn't make it back home. They are all in my heart and it still hurts. May they rest in peace.
Sorry for your loss! Lean into God and tell of His love.
Deeply moving. From a British Veteran to my fellow veterans across the pond. God Bless America
I’m not a soldier nor a veteran, but your words are welcome to the eyes of a proud American. Thank you for serving your country.

"They will soar on wings like eagles: they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint". Thank you all who serve our great country.
Hate to break it to you, Mike, but that verse isn't talking about soldiers.
@@selohcin I realize that - but the fit seemed appropriate
@@selohcin my second thought. I was / am going through a rough time and I quite well understood what Isaiah was saying. I lost a good friend and solider. The verse provided me some comfort. I didn't need you to tell me I was wrong. Tanks for throwing salt on the open cuts.
You’re welcome. It’s our honor.
@@selohcin As humans for which Christ died we are His children yet to believe or as believers in The Lord Jesus Christ we are soldiers in the spiritual army of God
In the end God will deliver. redeem and glorify His own. And until the end He will be with us, He will never leave or forsake us. God is Justice and Mercy, He bottles our tears.
thank you all warriors past and present who served this great country. you'll never be forgotten!
"They shall not grow old, as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
SEMPER FI TO ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS. ETERNAL REST GRANT UNTO THEM OH LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.
We Will Remember Them.
Lest We Forget.

"People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." George Orwell. God Bless All who serve their country with honor.
Actually that's Grenier's representation of an idea he ascribed to Orwell, but Orwell apparently got the idea from Kipling, as indicated in a 1942 piece by Orwell.
@@robertcroft9320 Yes, Kipling wrong with anger about people who derided the military
"Making mock of uniforms
That guard you will you sleep"
@@robertcroft9320 Kipling attacked those who derided the military by : "Making mock of uniforms /That guard you will you sleep."
The Gatekeeper yes
It is the tragic paradox of civilization.
Salute to all those who stand up against evils, terrors and tyranny. Be faithful to freedom and righteousness in God.
I was a soldier. As were my brothers, many of whom are no longer here. May they rest in eternal peace, and may I one day join them in honor.
My Dad & Uncle were Pearl Harbor Survivors. They made the Navy their careers. They passed within 6 months of each other in 2007. This was sung at their funerals. It brings me to my knees. In 2016, I was alone in the shrine room on the Memorial, sobbing. A Marine guard came to Stan next to me. I will never forget these men.
Grandfather was on his way to pearl when it was hit, they turned the ship around. Ended up flying two tours as an upper ball turrent gunner on a b17. Got shot down over the Mediterranean and ended up serving two tours flying daylight bombing raids over germany.
As a Royal Navy Veteran of the 70s I send Much Respect to all Servicemen/ Women everywhere.
My dad was a Korean War Veteran. He passed away this past February. This song was played at his funeral. Not a dry eye was to be found.
I met a Korean War vet in Iowa on a day trip to Cedar Rapids in the summer of ´13. It was interesting to listen to him about his hardships over there.
@ANtr431 When my dad arrived in Korea, they didn't recieve their cold weather gear until two weeks later. Several men in my dad's outfit suffered from frostbite and other cold weather injuries.
My Grandfather was in Korea. He was a signalman. Semaphore and Morse. Radio was compromised: NK knew English, but they didn't KNOW English. He spoke with flags. He passed in 2011. I thank your father for his service.

I think this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard! In my nearly 87 years on this earth, and I enjoy all good music!
😅
Thank you from a British Veteran, Beautiful piece of music, great voices.
As a Viernam combat vet , I'm seating here crying, I love you guys
Idk how much you lived, but all I can do is to send you best of energies, wishes and love from Colombia, south America.
Cheers mate.
God bless you brother
My husband and his 3 brothers were all in Vietnam at the same time. His youngest brother is the only one left. Thank you for your service, sir.
My cousin served in Viet Nam. My youngest brother, in Gulf War 1 and combat duty in Afghanistan. He still thinks about the men he lost. God bless you brother. I respect you and so does my family. 🙏🙏
I think of my uncle who fought in Vietnam and only told me only story of his service while in Vietnam, I was 14 when he told me he never said a word to a single soul till he told me in 2002 two weeks before he was called home and I think of him daily and it is a huge honor that he told me right before he died.
The Korean and Vietnam conflicto were never a declared war.What a big mistake and so many lives lost on both sides and for what.Please do not glorify wars.Work for Peace..
Susan, please do not tread inappropriately upon someone else's testament and account of what they held so sacred to share with a loved one in their final moments.
Thank You All For my Freedom. God Bless!
God bless you West Point Cadets. Thank you Lord for the courage of those who gave their lives that we may enjoy our freedom on this Memorial Day.🙏🥹
God bless America!
To the memory of the 13 we lost in the last days of our involvement in Afghanistan; you will be missed. You were on a righteous mission and taken from us too soon....They paid the ultimate price to defend our nation and extend the reach of freedom beyond our shores. We cherish the legacy these warriors leave behind and commit our resources to support the wounded and bereaved.
Plus the 4 Americans we lost in Benghazi ! Two were RET. Navy seals and the other two were though not formerly in our military were serving America !!
Add the 241 killed at the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon in 1983.
Then make our government properly fund the VA now that we're not commodities. Put your money and vote where your mouth is.
God bless if i was there it would have not happend. I was ordered down
Lyrics:
To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord
No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, Eternal light
In the Mansions of the Lord
Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
All through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord
Amen!!! 💚💜💙
THANK YOU ! AND GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!
Thank you for writing that out. What an absolutely beautiful song and tribute to those we have lost. Never forgotten, and forever remembered. 😇🦋✨

Ty to all servicemen who have served in any branch of the military and in foreign wars. This song makes me cry every time. To my Grandfather Pop Pop Lewis who died this year at 99 years old and fought in World War 2. Love you all!!
As a combat veteran of Vietnam this song brings tears.
Thank you Sir!
Yes
Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
As a 56 year young farmer from northern Ohio, who never had to serve, with 3 uncles who served in WWII, with many friends who served in Korea and Vietnam, with a nephew who served in Iraq, with a brother=in-law who served all over the world as a Green Beret medic, with a son in the Army National Guard.......this song brings tears!!
Same here Brother! Makes my eyes sweat!
To all of us who have served , Honor is our badge.
To All Veterans in all wars thank you may God bless and keep you forever you deserve no less
As a veteran this song makes me emotional every time I hear it. Beautifully done!
To all my brothers and sisters in all wars thank you for your service you are not forgotten.
This song grows on you. Simple at first listening, it gets deeper with every play. I saw the movie when it came out. As a Vietnam Veteran I can relate to the sorrow of fallen comrades and their surviving loved ones. We maintained our honor and dignity through it all and I remain proud to this day. 4th Div
Thank you for your service. God bless you.
Thank you for your service Sir. God Bless You.
My grandpa was in comm sec
God bless you for your blood, sweat and tears there. USMC 68 - 69 I Corps - Lost some irreplaceable friends in that beautiful and cursed place.
Thank you for your service
Two military films really moved me. After 35 years in the military, Saving Private Ryan and We Were Soldiers are probably the most sad and realistic movies I've ever seen. RIP LT GEN Hal Moore and CMSgt Basil Plumley.
To all our American brothers and sisters who are veterans of the war in Vietnam, from a British Army Veteran to you all I say,
Thank you for your service, 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
And as a proud ally, I say thank you for yours as well. We appreciate your sacrifice and mourn with you over your losses. We will remember ❤
This makes me cry with emotion...We live in such a beautiful country...Always think about those who have passed/currently employed defending our freedoms. To have individual choices in our country is truly special and a God given blessing. The Statue of Liberty stands tall in remembering all those who came before with their dreams not allowed in other countries. Listen in gratitude 🇺🇸❤️
Here again on Memorial Day 2024.
In a time when recruiting struggles, our nation fights the ‘Non War’ with so few who have volunteered to carry the Cross of freedom. We salute you cadets, soldiers, and musicians who cry out to be heard through your sounds and dedication to our Country. God bless you all. Bob Cocciardi former resident at quarters 421 d, West Point, New York. ❤️🙏🏼✝️🇺🇸🙇🏽♂️
I hope to be honored with this song at my passing.
51 years ago I received an invitation from my Selective Service Board that said my service was needed. I answered the call and did my patriotic chore. I was proud to serve my nation which has given me such great opportunity. We Americans are truly blessed among nations. I am glad some young people feel that same way today. Semper Fi!
I was a war protester from late 1967 to late 1969. Still even though I knew the war was wrong, when called I did my duty. Still I did feel betrayed when I came home in 1971. Everyone including our government turned their backs on us. I have never forgotten how it felt. We were just doing out duty.
USMC1969-1971
Thank you for your service Sir.

@@robertlytle9752 Thank-you for standing next to me, Its not nearly as lonely, R Young Fmr Tsgt, USAF, 1972-86.
God Bless you sir!
This song always brings me to tears.From a war widows son.
This tune moves this American to tears. It's a heavy burden to bear when one understands the true cost of our freedom. But it is one I proudly bear with pride in my heart and honor to those who've paid the ultimate price for our freedom. God bless them all and God bless America.
My dad fought in the Second World, graduated from West Point in 1950, crossed over to the Air Force, flew fighters in both Korea and Vietnam. He retired after 24 years. I joined the Air Force and spent time in South East Asia. I retired after 21 years. Almost weekly I come back to pay tribute to my father who passed away about 5 years age.
Thanks for for service both Airman soldiers
Just lovely. God bless America. From a simple British gal
I have never been a military man.
But who cannot shed a tear on hearing this very emotional song.
Beautifully sung
I lost such good friends at the height of their youth in Vietnam. And yet, by the luck of the draw, I have lived such a full life with a wife of 51 years and three grandchildren. I am so, so grateful to you--Fred Holjes, Chris Clearwaters, Joe Eubanks, Carter Howell, and others. Every time I listen to this, I tear up. How can 310 people be so hopelessly heartless as to give this video a "thumbs-down"? One thing is for sure; not one of them ever served.
Perhaps they had their own experiences of loss and grief
Or loved anyone who served
My Mom would call those 310 'pukes.'
The absolute rubbish who disgraced this video are not worthy to breath the very air
I think of my dad hearing this song. He fought in Korea . He fought for me ,my sister, and mother . He fought cancer . But died when I was 13. He fought for his country and against tyranny. He fought the good fight. I'll see you soon Daddy I love you.
No matter how often I listen to this song, I am moved to tears. It is stirring, It is haunting.
To all my brothers and sisters who serve our LORD JESUS may mercy and peace follow us through the world 🌎
AMEN AND AMEN, stay strong in CHRIST AND CREATOR AND JESUS WILL BLESS YOU FOREVER 🙏 ❤
😥salute. Each and everyone of you. May the loss of friends and comrades be consoled by fond memories.
Thank you for the service you provide.
Amen 🕯️🌹🦋
Can't listen to this and not tear up thinking about my brothers and sisters that have gone. 😭
Amen
I was with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment in Vietnam. From 1965 through 1973 we lost 730 brothers and sisters and we were only a regiment in size.
I feel the same brother. I lost my commanding officer Colonel William Cooper to a SAM on a bombing mission near Hanoi on April 24 1966 his remains were recovered and identified inl 2014 he is buried in Arlington Cemetery and another pilot in that mission was shot down and captured. His name was Jerry Driiscold. He spent 7 years in the Hanoi Hilton. As i listened to that music a dam busted
Amen
I'm an Aussie from British background.. and I made sure that when I was travelling thru the US I visited Arlington and the memorials of Washington DC.. a very moving experience...
Did the same on September 11 and 12 2003 on a visit from the UK - just a humbling experience. Walking the Wall I read the names of my generation (I'm now 69) who paid the ultimate price.
Went with my cousin ex US Army served in Vietnam, I served in Aden. The Wall is a truly humbling and moving experience. From Scotland, former Royal Marine.
Wonderful. I would love to go there but my traveling days are over. We had an American navy base 3 miles from my house. Burtonwood airbase...now mostly demolished. But the older generation now 80-90 years old remember those young men so far from home with great affection. In honour of them, I watch the Arlington memorial on TH-cam from time to time.
Mr. Stevenson, I've learned much from your ANZAC Ceremonies, superb example for any veteran of our armies. Peace to you!!
REALLY it is so
We were soldiers once..... and young. Salute to our comrades who paid the ultimate price. Rest in God.
When I hear this song, Taps, Hymn to the Fallen, and Amazing Grace, I am always moved to tears. I was a Soldier, young and strong. Now I am old, fat and gray of hair. I miss my brothers and sisters in uniforms, especially those lost in battle in Iraq and died by suicide at home. I don't know if their sacrifice was worth it. Time will tell. But their families and friends never doubt for a second they would rather have them lived a long and good life. We hold no one responsible for our loss, our government who lied to us nor the enemy who took their lives. But when the drums of war start, stop and think. Is this really a just cause worthy of the most courageous among us? The American military will answer the call and fight. Just make sure we put our youth into noble causes because anything less robs them of life for nothing. Iraq Vet
Thank You, Dan-ke Schon. I was a "Weekend Warrior" but my basic training & AIT were my favorite parts of my 6 Year enlistment. You who were in the Fulltime Military for 1 or more Tours know the Reality. I received only a 6 month taste of Fulltime US Army.
To Todd Smith,,,Me too Brother,,,You are NOT alone
Welcome to the old , fat, missing/grey hair club who have Brothers who were heroes. Buried too many friends.
Whether the war was just or unjust many brave soldiers,airmen,fought and died to protect the people of Afghanistan.May they all RIP.😥🇱🇷🙏
Amen, brother. We did our duty, that's all we....and they....could do.
Brought a tear to my eye and memories of friends killed in action. I'm old and I'm looking forward to meeting my fallen friends on the other side. "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
Thank you for heroic service. God bless.
From your cousins north of your border, We wish you peace.
I am not much for religion but my father was a veteran of three wars and on the day he died I prayed for his soul. It rained the night he died but after the rain the blanket of stars seemed to grant my wish that he would rest in a safe place. This song is a testament to his passing.
God is the only thing which is real; seek Him seek Him
@@sgtwotitan4012 My brother was gay and was pretty much excluded from virtually every church. He did find one in Houston but his life was anything but normal. God wasn't on his side and he suffered greatly.
@@jameselkin4687 I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. There is no place for exclusion when it comes to church. So many Christians forget, we're all in this together and we all deserve live and respect. I won't preach at you. That's not how I live my life. Just know that I'm out here and I care and I care about your brother's life as well.❤
My dad also fought in three wars. I miss him every day. Always spoke calmly of his time in peril; absolutely no atheists in fox holes! Only saw him cry once about it. Found a grave in the cemetery in Luxembourg of someone he was told by a friend at the end of the war was alive. The guy died the day after his friend had seen him on one of the last days of the war in Europe. Said he thought of him from time to time and wondered about his life and hoped he was happy. Now Daddy is gone too. All four of us kids served to honor him. One of my brothers even graduated from USMA. Dad was really proud of him!
@@lucycolson6162 My memory of him is mixed with good days and bad days. After WWII he got out and came back shortly thereafter to begin a career in aircraft maintenance TAC, SAC and PACAF IG. My siblings and I spent years having to deal with his dedication to the Air Force and dealing with alcoholism between our parents. My two brothers and sisters survived for a time but my younger brother passed from Aids. Dad passed in 1977 almost one year after retirement which was such a sad thing. Even today we are torn between the love for our now deceased parents. Except for my deceased brother we all succeeded in one way or another. Those days as a military brat and in my case a Viet Nam veteran still live with us. "Despite all our trials we are survivors and are still close.
I’m Japanese
I was deeply moved by the performance.
I was moved to tears.
I hope that war will disappear from the world.
Well said Ada Ma.
But still lest not us forget those who sacrificed and served & their families. My father with his two brothers served, I can not remember a time that the family did not serve, this song brings sadness. I hope this song touches those who send into battle.
I hope war does disappear
One day war will cease. When Christ returns and sets up his 1000 year reign on earth. He will rule with a rod of iron and there will be peace on earth...no one will study war then.

My Darling Brother a Royal Marine vet passed away with a smile on his his and at peace , stand down sleep well till the last parade semper fi
To Captain James B. Hansard, Infantry, 25th Infantry Division; 23 October 1968. Forever 28. Forever my Brother. Forever my Hero. I have done my best to live up to your standards.
I did not know anyone who served and sacrificed at Normandy. I do know that I owe them my life and the lives of my children and grandchildren. I will be eternally gratfull to them all for what they accomplished on that day..
As a proud brit watching this on our Remembrance Day, this is such a fitting song, wonderfully performed ! Thank you to all those men and woman, past present and future who serve there country, especially those who made the supreme sacrifice, "We will Remember Them"
Tomorrow, July 5th 2020, marks the 49th year since the passing of my beloved grandfather James J. Piper who served in the US Army during World War I. I grew up around him my entire younger life until I left home at age 22. He was wounded twice by German machine gun fire in the last great offensive of the Great War, the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. I have his Purple Heart certificate conserved and framed along with some other precious memorabilia. We had a very special relationship as I was his first grandson. Pap was a 'tough' customer from the old school. He was raised rough - went in the coal mines at age 10, and had black lung. He also got a dose of mustard gas while in France over a hundred years ago. May his memory be eternal. I will never forget you, Pap, and think of you often.
May God bless our Veterans and their families who serve our Country every day. Thank you. 👍❤️🇺🇸
Yo all who died serving this great nation.thank you
So beautiful!!! Yes, our liberty comes at a very high price!! My dad was in WWII---he retired. My nephew is retired Navy. I am so proud!! Our Nation is not what it was 5 years ago!! I pray!!!!
It is better without Trump in the White House.
I assert that your nation is just fine…, it’s has generation upon generations of young people want to serve it…, it is a hero for so many of us around the globe… a fumbling, mistake making big sibling… that is full of amazing people…
Don’t lose heart our Ww2 made us to know of the leaders and courage that he met in the Americans they served with….
Take heart🌹🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
You obviously don’t know anything about Trump or just how he has been sent to us to save our country and it’s grand experiment. The corrupt media and evil politicians have brainwashed the common people like you who refuse to think and listen.
God bless all who served this wonderful country and are presently serving. This music is absolutely beautiful!
To my fallen Great uncle Charles George. He was 18 years old when he joined the US Army to fight the Korean War. then on November 29th his company commander told him and his friends to capture a prisoner. when they were finished their assignment then both him and his friends were ones to cover the withdraw. out of nowhere a Chinese soldier threw a hand grenade at their trenches. my great uncle was close to the grenade he shoved his friend and move the other one out of the way. On November 30th 1952 he passed away from his wounds and he was awarded the Medal of honor. Rest in peace great uncle Charlie I never had a chance to meet you.

A great soldier and a great man, who gave his last ounce of courage to save his Brothers. Thank you for your life so that we may live in peace and with freedom.

I cannot hear this piece without weeping. If there is a finer expression of pride in grief, I don't know what it is. Bless those who have served, honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and comfort those who mourn their passing.
To my son PFC Jameson Langkamp I miss you everyday, along with your brother and sister, we miss the tricks you played on us, we miss those stupid jokes and nutty toys you bought, but we miss you the most! My beautiful baby boy!
We still havent forget any of them 50 years later.us army 67

To my 56 brothers who made the ultimate sacrifice on the field of battle. Not a day goes by I do not think of them. A Troop 3/17 Air Cav, RVN 67-72
You fought for lies. When the fuck are you trillion-dollar-fight-club sissy's going to figure this shit out? You are a stooge. A dramatic pussy one at that.
You fought for rich men who lied, not for freedom. You believe marketing. Sales pitching, and you are now a spokesman for the bullshit. That's all your pride and feelings can EVER be....because you fought for empire.
Wrong country man. Go prove your worth by shutting up or getting the protected vermin stealing our government. Ya dig?
@@mineduck3050 You are a despicable human being and you deserve to go to hell.
@@danmarmu truth hurts that much? I'm not the one who joined an invading army that kills for profit. You arent any better than nazi germany. You are an enemy to the country you thought you served. You are a government agent and I hope the pain of your adventures destroys you and the ones you love. Garbage soldiers in a garbage army. Americas ENEMY.
Real Americans don't soldier worship. We aren't obedient to liars and their dumb storm troopers. You lived for nothing.
@@mineduck3050, you are a deranged fool. I laugh at you and your ilk. Have a great day and God Bless you. Hopefully they have some prescription meds for that problem you have.
@@danmarmu ....as you have nothing to say to counter the truth. I could be a clinical psychologist for all you know. I could be a pastor of a church. The message hurts because its true, and theres nothing you can say against the truth.
Btw my ancestors fought to create this country. Your military is a disgrace, and so are you, but you could get your head out your asses and do something about it.
You won't.
As for myself being ex RAF and having seen the film which I found to be very moving I can't imagine what they went through so as a veteran I salute those who came home and all those who still lie there may you all rest in peace you will never be forgotten so to all veterans in america god bless you phil smith ex RAF PER ARDUA AD ASTRA
This is hauntingly beautiful. God bless our troops all over the world.
How can I say how much I like this song? 😂😂😂
What we do in life echoes in eternity. When our song is sung, let it sound like this.
Powerful and beautifully sung. Rest Easy Heroes RIP

As a retired US Army soldier, and the son of another, and a devout Catholic, I love the line "We will stand and guard, though the Angels sleep."
Today is my brothers birthday. Thanks to all share these memories. God bless you all
Glenn W.,,,the last lines of the USMC "hymn" are "When the Army & the Navy ever look on Heaven's scenes,,they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines",,,,I BEG TO DIFFER,,,OUR Paratroopers got there FIRST,,Airborne all the way !..
@@bobvoelsing9069 AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY - AND THEN SOME! Hooah! Always good to meet a fellow paratrooper. Everyone knows the sky is blue because God loves the infantry!
Angels don't sleep. It should be "loved ones".
@@timothyjordan5731 That is true, but consider the statement in that line as poetic license - American soldiers assuming the Angels' vigil so they can rest.
This music is so holy and pure
I listen to the lyrics and weep for our nation now as so many have forgotten the price
that has been paid throughout our history to preserve all that our founding
fathers envisioned for this nation. . ..
When I hear this tune, I think of our great late president Ronald REAGAN may he rest in peace
You know, We sometimes go on with our daily lives with our Social media, our day to day work, tending to our families and our daily lives.... but sometimes it always astounds me that sometimes we forget to say.... Thank you to those who really gave it all so we could have all these freedoms.... without them we would be in probably the worst nation the face of the earth may have seen. So from my heart and I am sure most others.... Thank you all who protected this great nation. Thank you.
As an Army Helo pilot in 1966, I can only imagine what my Brothers went through in the Ia Drang. I feel and pray for all of them every day, even now. Thank you.
