I served in the British military for 10 years, and one thing I will always give to the Americans is the fact that your veterans, and the active troops that go away, are treated like Kings, in the UK not many people care about the people that served and now live with scars, physically or emotionally
Thank you for your service from a fellow Veterans Widow and that goes for all who served are still serving. Also I want to say to all Vietnam war Veterans that are still with us and to the ones who are not welcome home in Honor of my late husband who went by the Nickname 6 pack.
My husband finally got home from his deployment!! This is a song we went through when we were dating so long ago, it brought back memories, thanks for reviewing!
Can we make this a 3DD marathon? -Away From The Sun -Its Not My Time -Father's Son -Behind Those Eyes -The Road I'm On -Loser My favorite band! I have alot of respect for them because Brad & the band write most of their songs. I know I'm leaving some good ones out, hopefully you'll find them..
3 Doors Down is/was very respectful to the troops and was even involved in a recruitment campaign for the National Guard, contributing a song titled 'Citizen/Soldier' w a music video directed by Antoine Fuqua (director of Training Day) using footage mostly shot at Camp Roberts in California.
My daughter wasn't talking in more than two word sentences before I left on my first deployment, half-way through it we were on a skype call and she looked at the phone and said "Hi daddy, how are you doing". Crazy to miss that much growth in such a short period of time.
Hey my father couldn’t complete his 23 years because our family was targeted and our residents on the base in El Salvador was shot at and my sister and I would cry when our father came to see us I can’t say his rank because he joined the reserve after he took us to miami. I went and did 12 years. Much respect to the active duty and the ones who help out with our military. This means lots to me. I was listening to crazy rock when I was behind the 50. I have ptsd I hear bullets or if I hear something break or hit near me I get on point. It is not a fun life
Thank you for your service and what you have done this country god bless you and the one's have fallen and the one's who are still serving this country i am grateful God bless you all
Thank You to those who signed that blank check to serve and protect, or to give the last full measure of devotion, to all of us who stayed home by choice or not.
My brother came home but he isn't the man that he was..if you didn't know him you would think he was a successful bloke but the troubles he carries mentally has changed him forever.. We were one of the lucky ones and are grateful but my bro is haunted and there's nothing I can do to help him.. As most of you know.. It's not something that a vetran will talk about.. Bless each and every one of you'se. 💗
Love This Song Thank You For Reacting to this song Also Thank You For Your Service I've Always Had A Heathly Respect For The People Who Risk Their Lives For Others Like Veterans My Dad And My Uncle Both Served In The Army
Thank you for your service to this country. Thank you as well for doing this video. One of my favorites. I want to add that I was married to a man who did 3 tours in Vietnam. I met and married him years after he came back, and it had really messed with his mind. He had PTSD so bad (he was also a POW for 3 months before american military came in and took the camp), but it wasn't a recognized illness when he came home, so he never got help. My dad did a couple of tours in Korea, and he had issues from that. I understand what our active Military and our Veterans go through, and I love all of you, and from my heart, I thank you.
Deployment was super tough on my husband and children... we had satellite phone calls once a month.. later in his contract we were able to skype... now our son is active duty and we can FaceTime when he’s on deployment. Thank you, again, for your service!!!
Billy, thank you for your service... I'm a little long winded, but, I just found you and I enjoy your channel! Retired AF hubby. I am a lifer vets' very proud wife. Love this band. They sang my life back in the day. My husband has always been my hero. I am so proud of him. God Bless all these amazing men and women fighting for their brothers and sisters next to them in the trenches. All while they defend the defenseless and help those who have nothing. American Servicemen are in over 200 countries, every year. Building schools, drilling wells for fresh clean water, delivering desperately needed supplies to terribly damaged disaster areas. Bringing hospital ships to New York and California for Covid 19 patients. And yes, fighting and dying for this country. These people will always be, in my heart and my eyes, the very best of America. They are MY heroes and heroines. My military friends, you know you are loved and so deeply respected by this family. God Bless and keep you. Mema
this is more about what you are before you leave. But more so of what you become... talking about the internal struggle of leaving the physical battles and coming back with the mental ones.
Every1 that ever served is the hero's to me. Those who came before and after the biggest battles to give us this freedom we have...have all my respect and my love. Battle on my friends! Luv you Guys and Gals :-D
From a daughter of a Vietnam Veteran and a granddaughter of a World War 2 Veteran, thank you for your service, Billy. Now you need to Duck and Run to get the other end of the spectrum.
Hi Billy!, thank you for playing this, not only am I a 3 Doors Down fan, I also had a loved one who served in the Army...8 years. I’m not a spouse of a soldier, I am the mom of a veteran (he’s not married), and I also thought and worried about him, parents of soldiers feel the emotions also. I didn’t worry so much when he was stationed in Hawaii, but when he re enlisted and was deployed to Iraq, I worried every day until he came back home and it really helped when he was able to use Skype to let me know that he was ok. I also like their song Citizen/ Soldier, played it a lot when he was still in.
Part of the reason I watch you is because you are of military background. My son was in the the marines and spent two tours in Iraq. He made it back and has a wife and son now.
Was hoping you’d get to this one- great song and video, yet sad- Lots of military in my family- past and present- including my 2 dear younger brothers, 20 + years in- and thank you again Billy ,and all who have or are fighting for our Country- past, present and future-❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸.
I served in the Navy for 11 years, and completed 6 deployments including 2 combat deployments, and I can tell you it sucks to watch your loved ones on the pier as the ship starts moving away to go out to sea for anywhere from 6 months to a year before you get to see them again, or they get to see you again, this is a small part of the sacrifices that our service members and their families make to keep us free.
When I was a kid we could get a phone call once in a blue moon for only a few minutes. The mail we got was months late and redacted. I am so grateful for modern technology.
I have a buddy who was sent to Kosovo back in the 80s and has PTSD, a couple weeks ago I was playing this video and he pressed stop and said "nope too soon"
My, now, ex-husband deployed to Afghanistan when our daughter was just 4 months old and we had just got married 5 months before. We aren't together anymore but he is my best friend and I am so proud of him and what he did for our country. I wish he could've been home for all of our daughter's firsts and I know he wishes for that too but I understand that he had a job to do and even though it was hard to leave us, he did and I have always been proud of him and I will always be.
This took me back to high school. It was all about them, Matchbox 20, and Train. I think they just made the video for the military. It wasn't necessarily about soldiers. Thank you a thousand times over for your service. Y'all are all braver than I could ever be.
Please react to Duck and Run by 3 Doors Down. It's one of my favorites, and it didn't get a lot radio play like this one. It's a great song about not letting life bring you down.
This was the 2nd song I wanted to learn on guitar years ago. It was probably the 20th song I learned but most were “classic” rock and this was the 2nd new song I learned. The same year it came out.
I am a military wife and my husband‘s been gone for about 7 months he left when our son was 2 months old he won’t see our son in person again till he is a year old
Thank you Billy for doing this one for a fellow Veterans Widow and sorry I didn't give you a heads up on this one. I had put this message on another video thinking it was this one so I just recently deleted this comment from the other video and placed on this one the one I intended it to be for in the first place.
Basic training long distance calls on a bell south phone out in the open, snail mail, one moral call a month for 5 minutes, direct call 3 bucks a minute when I was in korea in 1990-1991.
Almost didn't watch this, still not sure I should have.. heh.. I retired in '04, but there's a part of me still living in the sandbox, seems my mind never fully came home...
I served in the British military for 10 years, and one thing I will always give to the Americans is the fact that your veterans, and the active troops that go away, are treated like Kings, in the UK not many people care about the people that served and now live with scars, physically or emotionally
Hey man, it is hard. We never completely come back. RIP to all our battles. Till Valhalla

My husband finally got home from his deployment!! This is a song we went through when we were dating so long ago, it brought back memories, thanks for reviewing!
respect, love and gratitude to the both of you
Thank you both for your service!
Thank you both for your service.
They did a song for the National Guard called "Citizen Soldier"
steven Frost, it’s such a great song, too! 3DD have definitely been huge supporters of our military since the start. 💁🏻♀️💕💕🇺🇸🇺🇸
Agreed it's a great song
Billy I never knew you were in the military thank you for serving our country
I'm simple. I see 3 Doors Down I click.
Salute Billy, as a vets wife, this song chokes me up everytime. Thank you. 🤟🙌
Can we make this a 3DD marathon?

Very awesome man! It’s really cool to hear you tell your military stories! Hope you’re staying safe in these crazy ass times!

My son is currently deployed to the middle east. I miss him.
Absolutely RIP to all. It's a futile thing to try and find the right words. And to all still serving thank you.
Deployed now Brother !! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
From a daughter of a Vietnam Veteran and a granddaughter of a World War 2 Veteran, thank you for your service, Billy. Now you need to Duck and Run to get the other end of the spectrum.
Much love for any artist who entertains the troops. Thanks BYSC for your service.
Thank you for your service
Man, I hadn't seen this video either. Ex Army girl here and definitely brings me back to my deployment days. Loves this band even more.
Thanks for everything you have done Billy
My favorite song ever. The video ties it all together. Awesome...
3 Doors Down The Road I'm On
Hi Billy!, thank you for playing this, not only am I a 3 Doors Down fan, I also had a loved one who served in the Army...8 years.

Billy for some deployed troops in the past it could take months for mail make it too them!
Part of the reason I watch you is because you are of military background. My son was in the the marines and spent two tours in Iraq. He made it back and has a wife and son now.

The great thing about this song is it can be interpreted in many different ways.
Much love brother keep up the awesome reactions.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice bro
Landing in London and Citizens Soldier are other great songs by 3 Doors Down
They are big supporters of our military!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have a buddy who was sent to Kosovo back in the 80s and has PTSD, a couple weeks ago I was playing this video and he pressed stop and said "nope too soon"

Hey Billy. Check out Away From The Sun. By these guys. One of my favorite songs by them.
Away From the Sun is my favorite song by them
Also Be Like That
This took me back to high school. It was all about them, Matchbox 20, and Train.
I think they just made the video for the military. It wasn't necessarily about soldiers.
Thank you a thousand times over for your service. Y'all are all braver than I could ever be.
God bless all of our man and woman in Armed Forces..
Please react to Duck and Run by 3 Doors Down. It's one of my favorites, and it didn't get a lot radio play like this one. It's a great song about not letting life bring you down.
This was the 2nd song I wanted to learn on guitar years ago. It was probably the 20th song I learned but most were “classic” rock and this was the 2nd new song I learned. The same year it came out.
Respect for your service. This is such a sad song. Great review.
I spent 20yers in the us mc wen I went to Iraq two tours my wife played this when I left over seas that kept me going when I could see her again
Seeing that picture of a daddy hugging his bad ass marine son crying is still a daddy and it gets to me hard.
3 doors down actually filmed this video on board that ship!
Three Doors Down is one of my favorite bands. My favorite is Kryptonite!!

Thank you for your service. ✌
Heck yeah I sailed on that ship. Different timeframe though.
This isn't a song dedicated to soldiers, but it can be used as one, as the video depicts.
I got to see 3DD at Fort McCoy near Sparta WI a few years ago and they are amazing. Sound just like the recording. Talent.
