Semper Fi John! My Father In-Law whom I Love with All My Heart ❤️ was A Drill Sargent And He Loved being A Marine. The Courage, Perseverance, and Integrity in which This Man Showed Me In My life Has had an enormous impact on Me! He was one of the Strongest Men I have Ever Met and I Am So Blessed To have Had Him In My Life For 25 Years! Thank You for Your Song John! 🤗❤️

I have my dad's old Navy blanket. I didn't know him - he passed when I was an infant, but I think of him when I hear you sing this song.

[@PaulvanHuet]

What an amazing and talented singer songwriter. Beautiful songs and performed.

[@MrGreystone59]

Such great poetry, a great song, keep up the good work John Gorka!

[@MusicLover-be9xf]

You can’t write like this and not have a beautiful heart. I’m looking forward to show in NH. Here’s to your father. ❤️🇺🇸❤️

I was a Marine at 17 and I've been a musician a singer and a songwriter all my life as my profession. That song hit me hard. What a great piece of work. I would call it a masterpiece.

[@bendummitt888]

My uncle was a Marine in the late 60's. I wrote a song for him, finally, after he passed. Thanks for this, John.

[@Big_Daddy_CorkUSMC]

Did you ever record it? Even on a basic tape recorder? Love to hear it.

[@johnfern]

Terrific tribute to your father, and Spectacular song and performance!

[@bgolden99]

This has always been one of my favorites from your immense repertoire. It profoundly says so much and taught me some new chords. I like your Lowden! Thanks, John!

[@jamesomahoney2181]

One of my favorites, John I live in Rahway met you a couple of times.. I don't know the news feed where you are.. but Your old high-school is the cause for cancer in 100 plus people.. please research.. peace to you..-jommyO'

[@grzegorz21136]

Beautiful. Greetings from Poland.

[@wordsofwhit.]

Love it, especially the blanket - the humility - too much. Did Johnny get a new Lowden?

[@danielsobkowiak4101]

Wow, this is awesome. A most fitting tribute John.

[@tommarko9983]

excellent work sir!

[@annwait6371]

john - were you in the marines? if so - i have a tale or 2 for you!

[@kevingast4519]

John, do you use a floor monitor or in-ear system as a monitor. I have a Peavey Mixer Amp that goes to a big ol PA speaker. But many places that I play, the crowd noise is louder than the speaker. I'm looking for a cheap way to use in ear monitor. Suggestion? Thanks. kg

WE SHOULD COMPARE MARINE STORIES.!!

[@sakka9432]

Why do you delete my comments Mr. workout? Are you with the Italians?

[@DiehlVideos]

Man, John Gorka, Your choice of such very dissonant and unbalanced chords is unsettling, but I'm sure that's your point of the song.
