Dolly Parton - Welcome Home (Official Video)

True story. My brother Capt. Kenneth Walden was stationed in Fallujah and lost a member of his group. The guy that was killed liked this song so my brother called me and asked if I could find this music video and send it to him. That is the reason why it's the only music video on my channel. It was dedicated to a lost member of my brother's platoon.
RIP

[@RyanWilliamMac]

You should re-label this to "Dolly Parton - Welcome Home (Official Video)" and watch the views skyrocket!

[@YoGRIND]

Yep, I placed this up years ago before KZbin had the Official Video label. True story. My brother Capt. Kenneth Walden was stationed in Fallujah and lost a member of his group. The guy that was killed liked this song so my brother called me and asked if I could find this song and send it to him. That is the reason why it's the only song on my channel. It was dedicated to a lost member of my brother's platoon.

[@RyanWilliamMac]

​​@@YoGRINDthats beautiful ❤ sorry for your brother's lost. I hope re-labelling it gets lots of views that honor his memory!

Dolly Parton For President of the United States of America.

[@dirtybirdfan16]

I believe this is the greatest song Dolly ever had. What a beautiful, wonderful song.

[@barrygioportmorien1]

I agree with you, but she has another which I think is right up there with it. It's titled "Hello God" fantastic song, and lyrics only Dolly could come up with, It hits right at the heart.

[@yinyang1530]

Thank you Dolly for recognizing the soldiers who fight for their country and what price they pay for their sacrifice. With every song I hear, my love and respect for her only grows.

[@travisgrizzard8453]

24 months and 24 days ago, Jesus told my wife, "Welcome Home". She served a total of 31 years, between Active, Guard and Reserves. I served 12.

[@conandebomber8004]

[@travisgrizzard8453]

[@BLUEOHIO]

She so much better then us and she in no more pain but in God's loving arms and love Dolly singing and writting so many beautiful songs about God and the Usa and God Bless our Vets!!!

[@travisgrizzard8453]

Ed Camp Yep, she's dancing on the Golden Streets, by the Crystal sea.

[@kissfox5]

My father passed when I was 16 (I'm now 39) and I know he's with God because he and my family love God. My stepfather passed away and I used the song "WELCOME HOME" in my sermon and eulogy. I work in real estate so it worked seamlessly and was cheerful. My step-brother and his partner are friends with Dolly (I promise!) and their jaws dropped. I didn't tell them beforehand. Dolly heard about it, loved it and well, you can guess how that made me feel.

[@Zone3living]

The part where the dad sees his son on the boat.. holy everytime, makes me cry

[@Bodmasshh]

Ya exactly i watched that scene again and again

[@lochlanbyron67]

Instablaster.

[@Bodmasshh]

The first scene of father and son meeting in this song makes me cry always

[@josephkondrat7084]

My father was a Medic in World War 2. He did his best to patch up and save as many as he could. Among some of the last words that he heard to those he could not save was: "Momma."

[@DOLLYWAYNE38]

I wanna cry to think how much soldiers have died in Iraq. Dolly thx n thx 4 posting.

[@cmjcj2ktn]

Dolly’s best song? Maybe! Makes me cry every time.

[@billkenny3349]

This song touches my heart like few others. And the video makes me cry. Not everyone is in the service, but we are all God’s soldiers hoping to earn our way back home. Bless you, Dolly.

[@Amber-rv7ek]

To all the men and women who is serving and have served this country.... Thank u all. Have a safe memorial weekend and remember to thank a veteran.

[@dancamp1531]

TO OUR VETS YOUR A HERO AND AS DOLLY SINGS AND WROTE THIS BEAUTIFUL WELCOME HOME!!

[@ArantiusVulpes]

Such a great experience when my warship would pull in to home port after a long deployment

[@Kid1881]

I love this song! No matter how you feel about the war you have to alway's support our troops! Without them we would not be free!!!

[@elizabetakatalinic9369]

I'm not from America but believe me this video and especially the song by Dolly Parton touched my heart. She is truly an example of how she loves her homeland and the people with whom she shares good and evil, and especially how much she cares about soldiers who serve the homeland and the people and their families. Dolly you are a real Angel, love you for that. Your Eli. from Switzerland (and Croatia).🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💝💝💝💝💝

[@BLUEOHIO]

Dolly is the grestest singer and song writter in the the music world,,Dolly can make you get up and dance but yet make your heart cry..Dolly writes songs great hits like I Will Always Love You and 9 to 5 ,,,Dolly writes her songs and sounds like a angel singing them!...Dolly writes about her love for God, growing up poor but with love and her love for our great and heros that went to war for the USA.I LOVE YOU DOLLY AND THANK YOU FROM MY HEART!

[@8remy5]

OMG! I will never get tired of listening to Dolly Parton. She's it! Great Vocals after all the years. The prettiest song bird!

[@DRP1996Rocks]

She looks really beautiful in this one. It might just be one of my favourites.

[@BLUEOHIO]

USA our hearts for our GOD and our Vets that are hero's and Dolly sings from her heart and one day We will see our loving God and walk with Jesus!!

[@BLUEOHIO]

What a sad song but Dolly wrote and sing a very beautiful song!..Dolly always sings of her love for God and the Usa and wish other big singers was like Dolly!!..THE ONES WHO SERVED THE USA ''THANK YOU''!! AND YOU ARE HEROS!

[@DOLLYWAYNE38]

Dolly shows off her patriatic side without being political, how sweet more star should take a page out of her book. I just love her littel angelic voice on this song.I now hope she will do more and donate the money to army family so they can enjoy a good life after serving their country.

[@blackcoco2]

I can't believe that before May 5th 2007 this video wasn't on youtube. I love this song and its very chilling! Thanks for uploading.

[@lilpeach714]

This was an awesome song, thank you Dolly. I have a brother in IRAQ and we have welcomed him home many times. He keeps having to go back. I just want him to stay home forever.

[@craigbrown7655]

Dolly you got the tears going again. What a Voice Been a Fan for 38 years and loved all your work.

[@jim8341]

you will be in our thought and prayers as well as your boyfriend and the other men and women over seas. May God Bless you all and watch over you always. Thank you for all you are doing. With much love to you all, Jim

[@dmcleod0842]

damn, I love Dolly's songs even the sad ones. As a vet the second verse made me wonder. If in the moment those that don't come back drew Their last breath and called out to their mom's if this is what power is used when you hear folks say she woke in the middle of the night and just knew her baby was gone. 😢😇

[@vetrawhittington7841]

I fail to see how anyone could not like Dolly......lover her!!!!

[@Glacieral]

This song brings me back alot of sad memories. But thanks to Dolly, those memories have eased. I'm hoping school will let me sing and tell me story of this song at Graduation :) I love you Dolly!!

[@tlcortlc]

Thanks so much for posting, I was trying to find this video because me and my family were extras in it! My father is in the navy, and they filmed all the scenes on the ship that he was in charge of at the time!

[@milliondollarredhead]

I listened to this so many times when my son was in Iraq...over a year & a half...I cry every time I hear it! BTW, he came home...Thank God! Thanks for posting! 10 Stars! Lovely! Warmly, Red

[@elvadawoolf1629]

Very beautiful and very true

[@MrEricSevert]

It means more when somebody "multi media" like Dolly does something patriotic like this. She did a great job on the CD "For God & Country" back in 2003.

[@pr.tobiastahvanainen9234]

HOO YAH!!

[@D2Parton]

Haha! brilliant!

[@yinyang1530]

I say the same thing. i always said if I were president i would have gone over there dropped a nuke and say "this is this, and that is that, and you WILL do this by THIS time or else THIS will happen" honestly I would start a damn world war over anything so tragic. People say the Iraq war is so different from the other wars. I say that's wrong. the Vietnam and Korea wars were almost identicle in many aspects. god bless you your family and to all the soldiers even if they dont like it, THANK YOU!

@rotovac1 Your friend would probably have been a bit more sceptical about careerist musicians using the suffering of others for their own ends ... if he had lived.

[@gilmarventura5919]

musica linda

[@DOLLYWAYNE38]

i wonder the same too. I want to ask where is Dolly's

[@jim8341]

@sptfgpn lets be a little more respectful. They are not what you called them. They are someones sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, friends, husbands and wives. The fact that you called them that is very offensive. This song is for the current Military and our fallen. Show some respect please.

[@juntosaym]

I think things would be alot better!!

[@marcosvalenca]

Is it really necessary?! Saying that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, saying that American soldeirs where doing a perfect job (while they were torturing Iraquis), spending billions of dollars in wars, helping private companies steal Iraq's oil, not really helping people after Katrina, not being able to catch Osama BinLaden, paying no attention to global warming etc, etc, etc. Was that enough?

[@morralo]

"... speak English. LEARNS SOME" I belive it is: "...speak English, learn some..." You really need to get the spelling right if you're going to insult someone else about it ;)

[@skittlesandsquirrels]

@sptfgpn look, i'm not trying to start a fight, but please when you are talking about a deceased Military personnel please do NOT call them 'poor fuckers'. They made the ultimate sacrifice to put their lives before others to save their platoon/squad or other brothers and sisters. The reason i'm saying this is because my uncle was killed in Iraq >.>
