FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH - WRONG SIDE OF HEAVEN | REACTION

[@andrewwilliams10785]

I was a Homeless Veteran for 7 years. Things are looking up I've been in my apartment for almost a year and finally have joint custody of my 10 year old daughter.

[@allenmurphy7630]

Thank you Mr Williams sir for your sacrifice for I am very pleased to hear things are getting better for you but I am truly sorry nobody (our government/country) didn't help you and countless other's. It is an honor and a pleasure to be able to thank you, I just wished it was in person so I could salute you and shake your hand. I wanted to follow in my cousins footsteps Audie Murphy (Army) or my hero my granddaddy (Marine) but in spring of 76 I had open heart surgery at the age of 5 so that knocked me out of joining the military but I didn't know that till my teen years. Again thank you sir so very much, I wish you all the best and God bless you and God bless America ✌ soldier

[@HijaDLaChingada]

I just had breakfast with a homeless vet this morning. Brought him warm clothing and blankets (his had holes in them).. I wish I could do more. One day I’ll be able to, in the mean time I’ll do as much as I can. One vet at a time. 💔😢

This is heartbreaking, do one thing when you see an old vet out and about: shake his hand and tell him thanks, and that you're glad he made it home. It will make their day!

[@danielrupp7578]

Even shaking the hand of a vet who didn't see action goes a long way... Some days it's enough to make tears well up. Many of of us fee forgotten or ignored and a simple acknowledgement is enormous.

[@karlsmith2570]

I do this every time I meet a person who is a veteran or currently enlisted and in active duty

[@royfrye2871]

Theres a ton of young ones now, my Son's age a few of hus freinds have comitted suicide since they came home!and he lost lifelong freinds there as well!

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

Most of the Vets I've met that are struggling DO NOT want to be thanked or called a hero. Telling them you are glad they made it home makes them think of all their brothers who did not. Talk with them, if they'll talk. Buy them a meal, but many can't sit in a restaurant (noise and comotion). If they're living on the streets offer clothes or food and to sit/walk with them for a while. Don't be offended when they refuse or don't respond.

[@patriotsports7745]

You have no idea how much it helps

[@rickhaddad7261]

It sickens me how our government has dropped the ball on taking care of our vets. TWENTY TWO suicides a day! This should not be happening and it angers me 😡

[@danielrupp7578]

Saddens me more so than angers. Every man or woman who has served or is serving is a brother or sister in arms. Losing that many family members is heartbreaking. It is a reason I try my damndest to interact with as many vets as I can at my workplace. If one positive encounter can keep one of my brothers or sisters alive for another day mission accomplished.

[@rickhaddad7261]

@@danielrupp7578 I guess the anger comes from the fact that a lot of them could possibly be avoided. A family member was so close to being a statistic, but a non profit came in just in time to save her. It's a helpless feeling when you're throwing a life preserver to someone, but they're to tired to grab it. Thank you for doing what you can. Take care!

[@phreak811]

Yeah I did the math too. I was curious after seeing this video make the rounds on react channels again what the numbers were. Made me sad and angry. Especially when people say "We need to help vets before helping illegals/foreigners". Great talking point. No one does it so it's a talking point made to generate anger and USE Veterans to keep other people down. We could easily take care of all Veterans but to those at the top, there's no money in it. Time to stop punching down. Lets punch up!

[@barbaravance6774]

@@phreak811 But we should help our own people first! I have no problem with allowing people into this country LEGALLY! My family is almost entirely military for generations. We have had people in every branch, both men & women. And it does enfuriate me that money needed to help our Vets be isn't there. But, my family also lives in a border town. And it's as if the floodgates have opened. They have been burglerized. They have people banging on the doors day and night making demands! We need to know who is coming here. And what they have to offer. The merit based system is the best way to do this. I know my Stepfather immigrated here.

[@phreak811]

@@barbaravance6774 THEN DO IT!!!! My problem with the talking point is that it is just that. A TALKING POINT!! TALK!! That's all it is. Meanwhile the GOP and the Pres take money from DOD to build a useless wall. So it's just that. Talk. You missed why I was mad. IT'S FLIPPING TALK!!! It amounts to nothing more than wasted air! Nothing is done! Also again it's literally punching DOWN! It's rich people getting you to view someone else as a problem rather than the people that RUN EVERYTHING!

[@drumlord8772]

I have an interesting relationship with this song. I heard it from their album and listened to it for well over a year before ever watching the music video. It completely changed my perspective on the song, and it still gives me at least a tear, if not full on crying, every time near the end where he helps his old Sgt up....

My dad is a Vietnam veteran, i am a Desert Storm vetran and my son has done 5 tours in Afghanistan. For me to see a homeless veteran tears me up. For everyone who is able to adjust and be able to function in society 100 can't. We have to do better for our troops.

[@jacoballen4189]

This hurts. Two tours in Afghanistan. I remember my first fourth of July home. The fireworks went off and that's all I remembered. It was dark out and as soon as I heard the pops, I was back in that desert telling everyone to get down. Shooting my pistol towards the sounds. I shot at my two cousins. It took my grandpa, my uncle and my great uncle who all served, to bring me back to reality. It caused my daughter's to be scared of me. It caused my family to be a lot more cautious around me. It hurt me. It hurt my wife because she didn't know how to help me. Thankfully that was 8 years ago, I was able to get the care I needed. And we've been good ever since. But for so many they never get the care they deserve. I appreciate you bringing attention to this.

Yes, it's very deep.

[@dime4ever101]

Brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. Have several vets in my family who have retired from the army and navy. I try to notice the guys walking around with the veterans hats and try to thank them for their service. Especially the Vietnam vets. When they got home they were called baby killers and got spit on most of the time no matter what they went through. Thank vets every day, not just Veterans Day.

[@jenniferblake3296]

Bruce Springsteen too! When the Vietnam Veterans of America were about to go under, he held a benefit concert and donated all if the proceeds to the VVA. After that, many other musicians followed him. If it wasn't for the VVA, I don't think my dad would be here today. They got him the help he needed. As a way to pay it forward, he now leads a bible study and support group for veterans in his area because he no longer lives near a VVA office.

[@spartacus3055]

Thank you my brother for allowing all of the credits to run through. Most channels will cut off the video reactions and not pay attention to all of the foundations that are available for those who seek help.

Thank you for everything and keep moving forward. Luke.

[@talwothe7945]

One of the best songs out there that I feel adequately explains at least my mental state being a veteran an why after serving I became a Pacifist and have not touched a weapon in 6 years. This video and song Illustrates what it's like for those of us that it feels like the country pretends don't exist. When people lock their doors as you walk by or cross to the other side of the street to avoid you (and that's on good days) because you're a homeless vet (which I've been) it makes the whole thing where people say that they appreciate our veterans seem like empty hollow platitudes. If people really cared about our veterans and appreciated us then videos like this wouldn't be necessary.

I still thank any person from the military and their family for their service and sacrifice. If you see a veteran, please take a moment and thank them. If you see a homeless person, get them a sandwich, a cup of coffee/soda/bottle of water. Give them a ride to a shelter or other facility that can help.

Thank you. Do not ever forget Brother. Our lives are forever changed. But our allegiance will always be true.

[@lawrencepsteele]

This is my favorite video, bar none. The music is good but the video always, always brings on tears.

[@tinapatterson5022]

With People like you, This platform is the best place, to tell the truth about what's really happening To our VETS!!!!!!!

[@dariendudley9716]

I sincerely tear up everytime I watch this and I watch it everyday. This band does more for us than the people that sent us there

Been 40 years and sometimes I can still feel it, smell it, hear it. Never goes away completely.

I love your review. I served 17 years. Medically retired. I have some PTSD. Not like this. The sad part of this is it is worse now. Many ultra liberals even protested and interrupted our funerals. We never saw such horrible treatment of vets since Vietnam. This one thing. The issues with the VA and government and public lead almost unharmonious support to elect and likely re-elect Trump. As bad as Trump is nearly all vets support him. My Son is a PTSD vet living on the streets. I can't get him to come home. he served 3 years only. Thanks for your kind words. It was much harder in Iraq, Kosovo and Iraq 2.o and Afghanistan this this video could show.

Thank you for the support, friend. P.S: Yeah the VA can be hot garbage, look at all the instances where vets committed suicide in a VA hospital just to make a point

[@NikkiJoLuceroWitch]

Thanks for playing this and stopping it to thank our Veterans. Bless you. I love FFDP 💘

[@triryche3]

First off, thank you Jamel for playing this vid. Second thanks to all the vets out there. The thing is the government doesn't care about vets the second they aren't useful. Then it's back to their lala land while a living breathing person has to deal with the aftermath. Just my opinion.

[@twinmaplesranch5992]

Thanks brother. You're an awesome dude. This video rips my guts out, but makes me want to do more for my brothers and sisters. Thank you brother. I can tell this really hits home with you.

Some of my fellow veterans won't go the the V.A., for help, or anywhere else...I was at the V.A., yesterday, for my annual check up, and the staff questioned me specifically about mental health issues, and if my needs were being met. Things are changing, but these homeless, and suicides, are unacceptable. God bless, my brothers, in arms.

I retired in 2015, the hardest part is finding your place in this (to a Vet) routine, mundane civilian life. We go from absolute adrenaline roller coaster rush to almost what seems like STOP! The only people I have found that help the most are other Vets because they've been there before and understand. We get so structured and used to a life style that everything else doesn't make sense. I personally have a hard time with wrapping my head around how people think, no respect for authority, need everything to be validated and justified. Like everyone owes them something. Jamal, it would be like taking you out of south Central and throwing you in some po' dunk town in the middle of nowhere with absolutely nothing going on but BINGO night. I've had talks with a close friend that I went on my last deployment with and asked him if he had missed the military and of course the answer was YES. Sometime I find myself asking "is this life"? Is this what I've been looking foreword to all these years, well it's kind of blah.

[@nicolevance8705]

Jamel, I hope you don't mind that you have become one of my favorite Corona hang_out peeps. You're the best. Thanks for just being there. Love to you and your family.
