Semper Fidelis

[@maverick4you]

Recently lost my Uncle Ron Griggs who served 3 tours in Vietnam so proud he was my uncle and everything he did for this country

[@robertusa1234]

Years ago my company hired a retired army vet to be a plumber helper. He didn’t talk or work well with others. He was assigned to me as a last ditich befor firing him. This song came on the radio whial we where driving to a job in my van. He never heard it befor. When they song. The chorus he lost it. Started crying uncontrollably. I had to pull over. Apparently he lost a friend in Iraq that he made a similar packet with. After that he started to open up. Worked with him for years

[@stellaboulton9531]

YES!

[@danaustin3885]

I was there in 68/69. This song feels it.

[@reneerocha1796]

Thanks, man 🇺🇸

[@rickward460]

And I feel you Brother 👍 We will all go down together 🐶😎🇺🇸

[@wasclit11]

Welcome Home Brother - class of 71 & 73 UH-1N Huey door gunner

[@averagejoe845]

We lost my dad's cousin, a Navy pilot, in July of 1966, one month after he went to Vietnam. His remains were never found. My family never fully recovered.

[@gusrose62]

🌹

[@antoniocharo1724]

I'm a 3rd generation veteran. My grandpa served in the Korean War, 3 of his sons served in the Vietnam War, I was in the Air Force. And Every time this brings chills n tears. Thx man. Now pass that Hash pipe! 😉😎🇺🇸💯🔥

[@rickward460]

Thanks Brother! My time was spent in Arlington National Cemetery with The Old Guard. Burying the real HEROES of this country 🙏 Hits me every time too 🐶😎🇺🇸

[@wasclit11]

20th SOS MACV/SOG Huey Door Gunner - Air Force - we worked with Army Special forces jumping the fence into Cambodia and Laos where officially we weren't suppose to be - they were so-called Neutral countries.

[@davidtullis2810]

When Billy performed this live his crew would select a handful of veterans to come on stage an sing the chorus

[@jeannewood4223]

Thank you to all who served, including my Dad.

[@jamishops]

Great reaction. Paris Island is a Marine recruiting depot off the coast of South Carolina.

[@theConquerersMama]

And 6 weeks refers to basic training. (I didn't want to flood the comments with repeating the same stuff)

[@carriemichelle322]

So Happy you reacted to this one! Its my favorite from Billy? So powerful!! Billy Joel is one of the best song writers! Bars!!! FUN FACT.... Everytime this song is played, veterans are front and center singing the chorus. ❤

[@theConquerersMama]

Never fails to make me cry.

[@jacquelinetimestep5048]

I will always remember Bob walking me home from my bus stop when we were in Westfield High. Before he went to war he gave me a penny and asked me to give it back to him when he returned. I'am sure some members of his family found some of those coins over the years. I continued to return that penny for years at his final resting place. I reside in Naples, Florida now but will always feel that he knows that I kept my promise. Above is written by a friend of Bob Miller, a Westfield NJ young man who lost his life in Vietnam. This song is very powerful.

[@firefighterchick]

This is one of his more emotional songs. When he performed this in concert he invited veterans to sing with him on stage. Any of his songs on his album(this song isn't on it)Storm Front would be great to react to. 😊

[@joycepalm9190]

Seeing him bring vets on stage in live performance is both beautiful and painful. I was blessed to be born female and couldn't be drafted.

[@Roberta-my7qr]

They didn't even know what they were fighting for, and came back to the contempt of the nation. But, time makes us understand..

[@theConquerersMama]

I appreciate that you liatened with an open and feelinh heart. Multiple generation vets in my family. I was a nurse at the VA. While this was written about a group of specific memories - its also so emotionally universal to the experience. I think if you dont get choked up or moved listening to this then you are emotionally unplugged from your empathy center. Thanks for a great, respectful reaction.

[@ReeseRozum-sm1zs]

One of my favorite Billy Joel songs

[@riccardoangeli802]

Anche per me ... Assieme ad altre 100 di Piano Man Joel

[@troyalcorn1184]

Mixed feelings is proper here. He sang truth and sarcasm as well because nothing is 100% and it never will be. Brothers in arms. It is too complicated to explain here and maybe it will always be too complicted. If you lived it, you already know it. If you didn't, you have to imagine something that you wouldn't wish to imagine for anyone that you love or anyone you don't love. IDK how to make you respect or see from your own senses and I realize nobody can. You have to see and smell and taste and and and and and and everything for yourself. IDK what else to say. Some of us wish for more honest goodness from others. The world is what it is :(

[@wasclit11]

20th SOS MAC-V/ SOG Huey door gunner - I listen to this song for hours sometimes - not often as much now days. I was 20 and never killed anything in my life. Fishing don't count. Then they give you a mini-gun GAU-2/B - butterfly trigger capable of firing 2000 & 4000 rounds per minute. I got paid an extra $4 a day for that job. At least beer was only 10 cents a can. I am not a hero - we celebrated their memory on Memorial Day. I am just a Vietnam survivor. PS: Families waiting back home served as well and it was my wife of 55 years who saved my life when I came home.

[@shirleybuffington6420]

Love this song but every time I hear it the tears flow

[@judgildea]

Not gonna lie..tough is true. But an awesome opportunity to appreciate Billy's talent and with the odd chance to understand a military mindset..love it.

[@itsakittyting]

OMG this song makes me tear up every time, haven't heard it for a while, great suggestion👍 it hits me hard because I lived in a war situation as a kid for 4 years

[@coolworx]

Parris Island, South Carolina is the site of Marine Basic Training.

[@sarabirnbaum1585]

Song gives me goosebumps. Every. Single. Time

[@larryx314]

It's really not about American pride ,it's about the absurdity and the horror of war.

[@angiesmellstheroses]

This. This song evokes pride in those who served, but it is an indictment of America’s waste of those young lives for absolutely nothing.

[@julierodda5826]

One of Billy's unfearless treading into the climate of war, young men and women who bled and the turmoil they met on their return...live or dead. 😢

[@SRS13Rastus]

Along with Brothers in Arms, this is possibly the most powerful songs in honour of those who served.. To all who do, or have served.... THANK YOU is NEVER enough... I had a friend who DID serve, after leaving the service He once said. "I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't trust people, I can't settle ANYWHERE. WHAT DID I DO WORNG????." This broke my heart and I replied saying this... "You were a kind, gentle, intelligent and thoughtful person as a kid, The Army took you in and broke you down bit by bit, to create a warrior to defend us civvies. They made you part of a brotherhood I'll never understand, where even the comaptriots you HATE you absolutely KNOW will stand back to back with you and fight off oppresssion. You were a completely different person when you were on leave compared to who you were as a kid, but that's what they NEEDED you to be! When you left they just cut you loose, alone into civilian life. So you went from that world where you could trust EVERYONE around you with your life and were dumped into a world where everyone is trying to f**k everyone else over for almost nothing. How can you expect to trust ANYONE in civvie street after that? I can see it! You're around for 3-6 months, then you disappear for 3-6 months, same as your average posting in the military. Let me tell you something.... THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU! NEVER say that to me again! You served with honour, You gave your blood, sweat and tears so we that have the freedoms we have right now. You will ALWAYS have my admiration, respect and friendship till my dying day! Anything you need just ask, even just someone to talk to, you don't need to relive what you went through, just show up and we'll sit quietly or shoot the breeze, I'll be right here." He broke down and wept... This warrior fell apart in front of me and said "How did YOU know?" "Because I watched, because I saw the transitions you went through, most importantly, because I was and always will be your friend, friends, TRUE friends become Family, just like those you served with are, You are the Brother I never had and I couldn't be more PROUD to have known you and counted you as my brother!"

[@eddieg4740]

Parris Island Marine Recruit Depot is on the coast of South Carolina just outside of Beaufort. I'll never forget the 14 weeks I spent there for boot camp. It was supposed to be 13 weeks, but, forming took an extra week, nobody was joining the Corps then. So, I took a little longer to get enough bodies to form a series. Man, it was hot and the sand fleas were a real mofo.

[@ToABrighterFuture]

Parris Island, South Carolina, is where you go to boot camp if you're from east of the Mississippi River. West of the Mississippi, you'd go to San Diego, California. There is a bit of a friendly rivalry between the two MCRD's (Marine Corp Receiving Depots).

[@jasongales6947]

Bruh, my favorite Billy Joel jam. Brings me back to my childhood bro. Awesome.

[@SuprousOxide]

I don't see this as a long bringing about American Pride. It's about what the horror of war does to soldiers.

[@cheriemelissa]

You should watch the official video. Brings the song to life!

[@victoriataylor6741]

Such a heart wrenching song. I remember when the album came out & I heard this song. My Dad & brother were both Marines & did their boot camp at Parris Island. War is such a fucking nightmare. The song still makes the tears fall...

[@stellaboulton9531]

wonderful reaction ..

[@jacqueline4514]

Beautiful reaction, Teez ❤ This is one of those songs that make me cry; every time; you feel like you are with those young men sent to die fighting a needless war. I love it though. I highly recommend you keep going with Billy Joel; “Miami 2017 (aka The Lights Went Out On Broadway) is another one that will hit hard. And “Big Shot” is pure fun; such a DISS song!

[@user-fg7jh3jq9b]

South Carolina

[@Edgessner]

You are a real man much respect❤️

[@kenbuck4962]

the live version with the vets singing is betther with more emotions behind the song!!!!!!!

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

🙌

[@timothypanngam2249]

This song always brings tears to my eyes. I had an Uncle who was in the marines stationed in Viet Nam during the war. That war was hell on earth.

[@NAIVADA]

Insane. Where did we go right

[@riccardoangeli802]

Piano Man ha 100 gioielli in ogni stile musicale .... Talento completo 👏🎹👏🎹👏🎹👏👏🎹🎹👏👏👏👏

[@sly2797]

And brings out the Tissues!

[@michaeld8573]

If you ever get a chance, you should listen to (only 19) by Redgum, it's the Australian song for our Vietnam Veterans. My brother did 4 tours.

[@Stevedrums741]

the most poignant song EVER written regarding the Vietnam War - or any war for that matter. With an 18-year-old ready to join the Army and leaving me in June, this song rings truer than ever. I have never gotten through this with dry eyes. Paris Island is in SC.

[@susanashworth2014]

Parris island is in Diego Ca.

[@TerryFoster-cr2cp]

This song is supposed to hit deep

[@mercychoke4475]

@Sceez- Parris Island is in South Carolina. Huge Marine Corps base there. All new recruits go to one of two bases- Parris Island NC or the one in San Diego- for basic training, boot camp and the like. God Bless our Devil Dogs! 🌬 🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼💨

[@lilamuzik3385]

GOOD ON YOU!

[@tonihodge7280]

You need to check out Garth Brooks salute to Billy Joel at the Kennedy Center Honors.. It was truly awe inspiring

[@rickward460]

Thanks Sceez🙏 I didn't make it to Saigon...I was blessed to spend my time in Arlington National Cemetery with The Old Guard, burying the real HEROES of this country (not NFL players) and DON'T kneel 🤬 the boys/men in this video gave us ALL the freedoms blessings we have in this GREATEST country on earth! Don't believe me...go somewhere else and find out for yourself! Spread the love Sceez🙏🐶😎🇺🇸

[@lisahaverluk4037]

Praise the fallen😢😢😢

[@albertchambers1307]

You're lying safe in bed. It's the middle of the night. You hear the bedside clock ticking - then you hear a chopper flying over - and it's flashback city... .

@PI : BOOT CAMP

[@tommerphy1286]

@vets : ain't no atheists in combat when you are in the shit.

[@courtnayzeitler8564]

This is a very grownup song.

[@LowcountryJoe2]

If this one hit hard, I got another one that's a really good story by Wall of Voodoo frontman Stan Ridgway

[@yinzer]

It's the lyrics that matter, but there are much better videos. Still great reaction.

[@ethelynchristopher6995]

Parris Island is a marine recruitment location in South Carolina.
