Country music tells stories. That's what it's best at. Even better when the story is true!

One of the many reasons I make and give Quilts of Valor to our very deserving Veterans. ♥️✂️🧵🇺🇸

[@Teresia12]

A thumbs up is not enough for what you do. A thank you is not enough. I have a you Tube channel. It's just my music on it. But if you ever need help with gathering materials please go there and send me a message. I can't quilt but my Mama sewed beautifully and made many. In her honor I'd love to help. She kept the faith when Daddy was in WWII, when my brothers went, one to Korea the other to Vietnam. She sent care packages to them and their platoons every month. If they weren't still where she sent them then the other soldiers got them. She always included Jam Cake and a wide variety of cookies, lots of fruit, and tons of already stamped envelopes so anyone who needed them could write home. Miss her so much. 🙏 Thank you for what you are doing. God bless you. 🙏

[@Prozak63]

God Bless you. 🙏💓

[@janellechase5987]

I gave you a 👍only because I couldn't give you a 💜 So now I can💚💙💜💚💙💜💚💙💜

[@robertorange6024]

Bless you

[@lenawright1857]

My grandfather received one when he was at the VA hospital. He left it to my daughter when he passed away. She's now serving in the military herself ❤️. Thank you so much for taking the time to make the wonderful quilts. They are truly cherished. 🥰

[@bashfyl]

There is a documentary that goes with this song where they all went to Vietnam together to take his boots back and leave them there where his brothers fell. Super emotional but worth a watch. Thanks for doing this song. 😊

[@cathymerchant9768]

Kris Kristofferson is a great singer/songwriter in his own right. One of his greatest songs is "Why Me, Lord?" He lived a rather wild life until he was brought to faith, and he ends every show with that song. A great one by Charlie Daniels Band about Vietnam is "Still in Saigon"--it might bring on the allergies, though, because it's an accurate picture of PTSD.

[@Moreland915]

Check out Trace Adkins- Till The Laat Shots Fired. Excellent song!!!

And Letters From War ~ Mark Schultz

[@dennisanderson7034]

I've known many who served in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. War is hell! The things they told me were the stuff of nightmares. 😳✌❤🇺🇲

[@Teresia12]

Absolutely. My Fsther-in-law was a fighter pilot in WWII. He had to have a lot of therapy. His nightmares were of the innocents the bombs he dropped killed. My husband went to Vietnam twice. His nightmares included trying to somehow save the very young children they would send to the American's camp with bombs strapped to them. He stayed in 20 years. He has passed away. He was one month from retiring from the Sheriff's Office. I learned to dodge in the middle of the night. And how to talk him through it. PTSD isn't a new thing that just started happening in Afghanistan. It's been around as far back as the Revolutionary War.

[@rubytexas1563]

My mom's cousin lived in one of the villages and helped to train the south Vietnamese...they had to eat what the local people ate and he said it was considered a great day if a dog wandered into the Village....and you never knew if the man you were f fighting at night was someone you had trained that day...it was crazy.

[@dennisanderson7034]

@@rubytexas1563 Holy crap!

[@justinwoolsey4269]

War, it's the closest you can get to Hell while you still breathe

[@johnkelley2201]

God bless you for your empathy, young man!!

[@csblade2000]

I was born November 8, 1965 and I’m an Army veteran so this is extra special to me.

[@lenawright1857]

God bless you for your service dear ❤️!

[@yonniemccullough]

I cry everytime I see this video. God Bless those who have served and are currently serving.

[@xslabcabxhearsex]

I served eight years in the Marines and combat Desert Storm veteran.someone who has never been in combat can never truly understand what we went through.seeing your friends killed or servilely wounded never leaves you.you come back home and nothing makes sense and everything seems to be a threat .on top of that you deal with survivor remorse because you made it and your friends didn’t.

[@erinobenchain5160]

Thank you for your service.

[@lenawright1857]

God bless you for your service and your sacrifice. My daughter is currently in the military and your story tugged on my maternal heartstrings, so I'm sending you warm mama hugs 🤗!

[@kellyanderson7624]

Alot of those soldiers that survived were NOT welcomed home. Alot of Americans protested the war. Most of the sodiers were booed, hit or spit on.. Nobody appreciated what they sacrificed. If you ever see a Vietnam veteran thank them for their service, it will mean the world to them, even all these years later.

[@firefighterchick]

Don't ever feel the need to hide your emotions or empathy. Allowing those to show is a sign of strength and good character.

[@Teresia12]

This gets me every time. My late husband went to Vietnam two tours. This man was the epitome of what a soldier should be. He was, is, the bravest man there. He should be buried at Arlington with all the honors for him and given to his family. God bless him and his family.

[@missingthehills4732]

I know the gentleman that the song is about. One of the nicest and coolest guys you'll ever meet.

[@reneerichter1263]

I cry every time I hear this song. God Bless those who fought and continue to fight for our freedom 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jeraldkimball494]

I'm a vet and can tell you a lot of my friends lost their lives in Nam. It was a crazy war. So many lost their lives for a war they couldn't win because of politics. Just incredibly sad situation. The sad thing is in that war it was hard to tell most the time whom was enemy and who was friendly.

[@kaysileach3642]

One of my most favorite of favorites

[@patherr4544]

Montgomery Gentry- Tattoos and Scars is another good one

[@lenawright1857]

My family has a long military history. My mother, father, uncle, grandfather's and now my daughter is proudly serving. My uncle was never the same when he came back from Nam. He got hooked on drugs, became an alcoholic and disappeared. For over 25yrs we never knew if he was alive or dead. He was found living under a bridge somewhere in Texas. He was brought home and was able to see his dad before his dad passed away. I wish I could say all was well, but my uncle's demons were still chasing him hard and he never gave up drinking and he has once again disappeared. The struggle and sacrifice is real. Sometimes even when they come home, not ALL of them come home. So, when you pass a homeless veteran on the street or what not, please be kind. That's someone's brother, uncle, son, dad, daughter, sister, aunt, or mother. You never no what demons or monsters they are fighting. Much hugs and respect to all ❤️.

[@garrymoore2161]

My friend, you just described shell shock, battle fatigue, PTSD or the horror of war by whatever name you call it. The unending memory of witnessing the unspeakable violence of conflict. It does not go away, you just have to carry on as best you can.

[@TOOLandNINfan]

My brother served in Iraq 2003, was severely injured; between developed complications of diabetes and melanoma, he passed in 2014.. His name was also Niles. He never showed any sadness about his situation, even when he was told chemo wouldn't help anymore. But he couldn't talk about two of his battle buddies that were killed in action without a breakdown. This song still makes me break down..

[@distemic]

Another great song reacted to. I had two uncles fight in vietnam and they both made it home. My dad's draft card got lost when someone burnt down the recruitment office he dropped it off at. RIP to all who've lost their lives fighting for our country

[@kylecouch8129]

Don’t know how your channel just came across, damn glad it did, but back in NC there’s a good phrase just hit me when that injured soldier hit you: you have an ‘old soul’. Built-in wisdom. That kind of empathy man you know that weight. Awesome stuff.

[@janalea5551]

Powerful. Never forget.

[@chadriesgo3338]

One of the best from them

[@donnamaria915]

I've watched quite a few of your reaction videos recently, and I just want to tell you that your heartfelt reactions are so touching. Love your videos!

[@denicesanders4586]

Just found this. Oh, my God in heaven. I can't imagine the horror of going through this. Then, all the years of recalling the death of your brothers.

[@skysoldiers173]

Long this song! Love the story behind the making of it. Love all my "Herd" brothers and sisters past present and future🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@nascarandrew]

I thank every soldier but I especially praise to the Vietnam vets because the disrespect they got when they came but I can’t understand that they fight for our freedom they deserve our respect period

[@markl2322]

Most, if not all, of the Vietnam veterans I know are very proud of the service they did over in that confusing, and ugly war. Two of my uncles served there, and I considered them my heroes. Almost 60,000 men gave their lives in that war, and we still don't quite know why. Now we have Afghanistan to add to the confusion, and another group of veterans who are left to wonder if their work was worth the horrible cost. Our country's leaders don't seem to understand that our military men and women are more than willing to serve and fight for this country (God knows I was, and still am). But we have to be assured that we will be used for the purpose we were trained; to kill the enemy, and wreck his things. We are not nation builders, and social workers. Thank you for your compliment at the end; it means so much to me, and other veterans, to know that we are appreciated. God bless you.

[@itscrazyal]

It's tough, but it's good. our generation probably was not taught this in school, because they had "other priorities" to teach, so it's important that we know what happened. for an example, a few years back i was walking in one of the towns near where i live, and i saw an old black man walking and he had a leather pilots flight jacket, and i found out he was an original Tuskegee Airman. i went up to him and asked to shake his hand and thank him for what he did for OUR country. i felt like i was amongst royalty, here i am a white guy and here was this elderly black man, who had to go thru separate training than his fellow white serviceman, etc, just to ensure our country remained free. i could've talked with him for hours, but he was in the area to speak at a school. i will never forget it.

[@joannamcpeak7531]

You have a big heart, and it shows. Thank you for reacting to this.😘

[@terryduncan31]

It's called survivors guilt and has caused many of them to commit suicide. As a veteran myself I'm constantly praying for peace.

[@lenawright1857]

God bless you for your service and your sacrifice. I know that some demons can't be exorcised, but please know that you are not alone in your fight. I will be praying for you dear and I'm also sending you a virtual hug 🤗❤️!

[@flatfootphotography1773]

The man at the start of this video is a Vietnam war veteran, he was a helicopter pilot for the us army he was a ranger also. He is a county music star and actor.

[@Lindsey_M]

Another great reaction. My dad joined the Navy during Vietnam and it’s always been a tough war to teach.

[@bigmatthwpo]

You should watch the documentery about 8th of November. You can find that on Big & Rich's KZbin channel.

[@Almcingrid3663]

There is a documentary where Big & Rich goes with Niles Harris back to Vietnam. Very powerful!

[@richardkraft1536]

I joined the army in 2008 obviously I didn't know any of the heroes that died during that operation however every year on November 8th I make sure I listen to this song to honor those who have died.

[@dreamteamneal]

Thank you for serving and man that's a great tradition!

[@gianna01michelle]

Somewhere out there is another video. Where the guys that sing this song. Go back to the site of the actual battle in Vietnam with their friend who survived it. Its not a song but it is very cool and touching. Especially when they meet a old man who was there and forced by the vietcong to be a informant for them against the American military. He was apologizing for doing it to big and rich's friend who had been there. You should check it out even if you don't do a reaction video to it I don't think that you would regret seeing it. Their friend who survived buried the boots he was wearing during the battle in a shell hole from the battle and they drank a toast to the people who didn't survive.

[@Almcingrid3663]

I lost a 21 year old cousin in 1968 there by a mortar. It took 2 weeks to clear the field and collect his remains.

[@bigjay123]

Thats a good one , good story. If you feel it bro dont worry about what we think.

[@Cubs-Fan.10]

I know you do music reactions, but I can see the patriotism in ya. React to Medal of Honor recipients and their stories. Sal Guinta is my guy, but Roy Benevitez, Dakota Meyer, Kyle Carpenter etc have incredible stories to tell that no generation should ever miss.

[@amandak2237]

Check out Shutting Detroit Down from John Rich

[@judyriggs4563]

Big & Rich took this gentleman back to Vietnam and they documented it in film. He buried his boots there when he went back. He also met men there he fought against that day. It was very touching.

[@lizzymiddleton4928]

My father in law was there in Vietnam. 8th of November was his birthday 🙏 he passed in 2015

[@Almcingrid3663]

I lost my cousin in '69 in Vietnam. It took them a week to recover his body.

[@maxinefreeman8858]

People forget most of these young men where drafted at 18 years old.

[@rhiahlMT]

My Dad fought in Korea at the battles of Twin Tunnels and Chipyong-ni. Before they left for Korea they got a pass. One guy was trying to borrow money to go see his girl. Dad gave it to him. Figured he'd never see it again. The guy paid every bit of it back. They were in a foxhole at Chipyong-ni and Dad turned to him, he had been shot in the head. Dad is 89. He still wonders to this day what ever happened to the guy's girl. The soldier was from South Dakota also.

[@erinobenchain5160]

This song gets me every time! Perfect for Memorial Day coming up! 💔

[@pennysworld1]

i remember crying and asking my mama why are they being so mean to the soldiers when i was little? she never knew herself, that was Vietnam. then i marry a soldier , then he is off to Iraq. made it Back home thank God, then 2 time to Iraq my oldest son joins him . about 10 years later second son joins up and is shipped out. Last month my youngest boy joined up, that 3 out of 4 of my boys. the last one came to me and said mama come the first of the year guess what ? i am joining the army.

[@garrettrubis5693]

Please do Granger Smith - Holler. I think it's one of the coolest videos ever made. Would love to see your reaction.

[@donmaher6992]

I served in the Vietnam War and you cannot imagine what it feels like everyday I still see the battle I hear my friend scream when he got hit it's like it only happened yesterday but he died in my arms I was shot three times and now I'm a disabled Vietnam veteran when I was rotated home me and a friend that I met on the plane when we got off the bus we wanted to get something to eat the restaurant asked us to please leave I still believe we were more hated here in our country than we were hated over there there was no parade for us no tears not even a welcome-home would you please honor my Fallen Brothers with George Jones 50000 names carved in the wall

[@fullmetalcrusader]

Chris Kristofferson is also someone to check out

[@paulaweaver6508]

Everytime I see a service person I tell them thank you for your service. Have you checked out 5 finger death punch's video Wrong side of Heaven. Powerful

[@Kathleennebel]

This is so beautiful! God bless all of all soldiers past and present! We owe you EVERYTHING! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Thank you daddy for being my true American hero... United States Marine Korean War at 19... daddy is 86 and a PROUD MARINE VET.. thank you daddy for teaching the respect for the military and America... 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Totally different genre but another great 80s song about Vietnam is simply called "19" by Paul Hardcastle

So I have a request. You said in one of your video's that you are Christian right? Anyways this song is an older song, but I think it fits in 2020. The song is by Micheal Card and the song is: Heal Our Land. Anyways thanks for your consideration of doing this song.

[@Animal_Lover_91]

Hey can you do do some comedy reaction? I think we all need a some laughs. 1) Jeff Foxworthy 2) Bill Engvall 3) Gabriel Iglesias 4) Jeff Dunham 5) Bull Burr 6) Joey Koy 7) Anjelah Johnson 8) Christopher Titus 9) Henry Cho 10) Jim Pinette Are a couple you should watch.

in my opinion it is so sad and wrong the way the soldiers were treated when they came home. They got treated horribly and for most of them it wasn't a choice they made, they were drafted and made to go over there and fight.
