Don't Let It Touch The Ground

[@CharliceHinesWinn]

Its sad that we no longer have that kind of respect for not only our flag, but what it symbolizes- and all those who havefought and died so that we can continue to live beneath it.

[@chasechancery6808]

Some of us still do mam! God bless America!

[@Oceanedge2010]

Comments like yours give me renewed hope! Hoping this song inspires more of us to remember what the flag represents! Thanks for the comment.

[@Kilowatt420]

It’s small, but a trip to the VA hospitals near you will change your mind. God bless.

[@Temperius]

A flag is a emblem of country, while the country might not live up to the ideals of the flag people should push to bring the country back to the ideals of the flag and those who died for the flag.

That's one thing that's upsetting these days, we let it touch the ground.

[@Oceanedge2010]

I still have hope that we can return to a world that honors our flag

[@gloriajones2636]

Amen 🙏

[@georgesteffens7489]

We’ve done more than that ☹️

[@jkxtreme]

Excellent song. Very touching. My job in the Army was to escort the bodies of the fallen and participate in military funerals. We folded the flag that was draped over the casket ... and never let it touch the ground. Love the song.

[@Oceanedge2010]

Thank you very much; I hold a deep respect for our military and of course our flag. I appreciate the kind words (and thank you for your service).

[@MissilemanIII]

I was in the Air Force base Honor Guard. I was a Body Bearer. We never let it touch the ground.

[@madeyemoody3884]

It makes you tear up when you remember just how dangerous it was being the Color Bearer.

[@RorySmith-Dube-fm7ll]

It was very dangerous, they were often targeted and weren’t giving means of defending themselves

[@weedwhacker287]

“Part with your life before you part with the colors” many color bearers in there final moments used there last bit of strength to keep those colors upright before they died

[@KaeoWalker]

America makes me cry

[@calebhanson637]

The most dangerous job back then in the military but one of the most important

[@Oceanedge2010]

Yes it was!

[@LeeWhipple]

Amen lord, l am a old country boy, who is going to ride in the army of the lord Jesus. Amen come lord come 🙏. For God is close to the ones who loves him. 😂amen

[@candiwells4607]

Amazing song!!!! America needs to get back to this

[@Oceanedge2010]

Thank you so much! I'm thankful that so many people have enjoyed my song!

This is now one of my favorite songs, tells how strong of a country we are and shows how much America cares for our soldiers.

[@Oceanedge2010]

Wow!! Thanks!! That means a lot! I appreciate the compliment!

[@matthiasneidenberger9471]

When I think of America, I don’t think of slavery, segregation, incarceration, war or any other label people give it. I think of the men who fought and died for the best of this country and the freedoms it offers all for the hope that generations after them would not only take up the flag but mend the flaws they couldn’t. Nowadays, it feels like we’ve failed them with how many people want to tear down the flag and undo everything they fought for. Dwelling on the flaws instead of defending the good works of their ancestors. I pray that God would heal the hearts of America and allow us to come together again.

[@mayalackman7581]

Personally, I think of both. We can (and should) acknowledge the good and the bad equally. Neither cancels out the other.

[@matthiasneidenberger9471]

@@mayalackman7581 I agree, we should be able to acknowledge our faults so we don’t repeat them. But I don’t think we should define our country by them but by the lessons we learned from them and the sacrifices our countrymen have made to right them. But yeah, you’re right too many people who focus on just the positives or the negatives and a health view of both is needed for progress.

[@ninjamasterbuilder8675]

Red, white, and blue aka the greatest flag for the American flag is a statement of Freedom and you will be able to do whatever you desire and when soldiers see the flag they are reminded what they fight for a country of Freedom aka America built on liberty, god, and home of the brave

[@CharliceHinesWinn]

I don't know what's going to happen to this great nation if we don't return to that standard and follow it because we've gotten too far away from it we've gone astray and we're going to pay for it

[@SeekersofTruth-q2v]

Outstanding! There arent very many songs that grab me from the start, but this one sure did. Good sound, music and vocals. And the lyrics were awesome too. I wish more people heard this song. When respect for important things go by the wayside, so does the people and country.

[@Oceanedge2010]

Thank you so Much

The sad thing about color bearers is that they were told “Part with your life before you part with the colors” and many of them did

@@Oceanedge2010 yes sir!

[@snowwolf2951]

behind the colors id march into hell the standard bearer was prestigious it was an honor to carry regimental colors into battle least the battalions american flag heck even the confederates' colors carrying the colors meant you lead the line you lead the mens motivation you where rock

[@Innawoods1]

The only time this song mentions the American flag is at the end. This entire song references regimental/brigade/division colors. So to the idiots saying it’s so sad people don’t respect the flag. It’s not even about that. It’s about soldiers not letting their regimental flag touch the ground because that’s army tradition, a tradition that still carries on today.

[@JulNZ92]

Great song. I tried to find it on Spotify. Is it there?

[@Oceanedge2010]

It is not there "YET", thank you for the compliment!

[@matthewdemarey4762]

Honestly? It's not perfect, but I see the potential and I can't express how much I LOVE that! lol And the thing is? It's literally *just* the lyrics. At least for me, lyrical composition is super important as to whether I like the song or not...they gotta fit well together which...being a creative in general I *know* is a pain. Basically, I think the lyrics could benefit from a rework or a few...BUT that being said I LOVE everything else about it and can easily tell you put a lot of care into this piece. I don't care that it's "basic", whatever that really means, I love it either way and want to encourage you as best a stranger on the internet can. So yeah! I hope that all came off as constructive as possible 'cause the last thing I wanna do is discourage you, especially when I genuinely believe you could be as good as even the biggest country artists out there. If you have *half* the passion you seem to in this song with every song you make, I just want you to know that I don't *believe* you can make it...I *know* you can, and I *hope* you keep trying if this is something you really want to do!

[@Oceanedge2010]

I appreciate the input! I agree, it's not perfect (I know I've never written a song that I don't go back and listen to..and think "I could have improved it by....". Thank you so much for giving this a listen..and for the input.

[@matthewdemarey4762]

@@Oceanedge2010 Of course of course! To be honest I don't think *anyone* who's ever done art before hasn't filled their head with thoughts on how they could improve their past works. But that's literally where masterpieces come from...at least in my opinion. lol

[@ReneeTownson]

Those lyrics came to you in that order. That was your soul son . Always go with that. I find no fault no matter what maybe said...my Daddy he always taught us don't drop it don't get it dirty and most importantly Don't let it touch the ground. So this song gave me a swell of pride that my Daddy A Vietnam Veteran Rest in Piece this person just wrote you a beautiful tribute to you and what you stood for and taught your family. We all miss you so much but believe this your memories will always be shared.
