Letters From War (Video)

[@WilliamJohnsonmusic]

I am a young war veteran who cries every time I hear this song. I look into my son's eyes and can see how good God has been to me...Thank You!

[@Sneadster]

we sang this every sunday in basic...we all cried then, and it got a little worse through the years. unfortunately, not every mother gets to hold their child upon return....it takes seconds to say a short prayer for the safe return of the men and women serving, and for the families of those lost...is a prayer worth a good night's sleep to you?

[@hotcoolchick14]

This song made me cry the first time I listened to this song... Thumbs up if this song did it to you too.

[@OldWoman1958]

I met Mark with his mom at a concert in Phoenix at Celebrity Theater. What an amazing man!

[@dragonfly31665]

My son is currently at Parris Island, SC in his forth week of Marine Corps bootcamp. He wrote to me and asked that I listen to this song and think of him. The song has been played to him during his training and it meant alot to him. God bless our troops and the families that support them. Please remember that freedom isn't free!

[@Yaussy34]

Every Sunday at church services in boot camp they played this song, its one of the reasons I made it through that craziness called Parris Island. -Marine

[@cowboyjeep94]

for the loved ones at parris Island please stop by Yale hall and pay respect for my nephew. we Lost him and heater to a IED in 2008

[@Shintobeme]

I can't believe this song is 9 years old and I had never heard of it.....it is beautiful! Reminds me of my Daddy, who was a POW in WWII. My grandparents didn't know if he was alive or dead and had to wait just like the song says, to find out anything. I'm so glad this song has a happy ending and he got to come back home, just like my Dad.

[@CatTravis]

my son spent a year in Iraq. I didn't receive any letters, but because of the miracle of the internet I was able to see and talk to him frequently. This song always puts a catch in my heart, knowing that at any moment I could stop hearing from him. When he deploys again next year, I'll be just as worried, from one aspect, but even more so from another: he's getting married in June, and will leave his wife and son behind for 15 months. WE must pray for our soldiers and their families.

[@drummonster3]

I just want tell all the troops that see this. Thank you so much. every time i see you guys i wanna run up to you and hug you.

[@Yoshida1497Keito]

I heard this in 7th grade and instantly fell in love with this song! My 7th grade English teacher once when she taught elementary school made a picture book and send it out to him, and I can still remember crying when reading this...... Her husband once was in the Navy and same with my dad so this song means a lot to us that somebody cares about our nations protecters. every time i hear this song I cry.......

[@eddieb774]

Air Force BMT anyone? When I went through in 2006, they played this sone every Sunday in church.

[@crosscountry2015]

i am 14 and my amazing boyfriend is in basics right now and this song made me cry but it dont have as big as an impact as it does to a veteran , i just got a letter from him and it made me smile caz i havent tlked to him in a long time and it made me smile cry and i had so many emotions but this song i love it

[@OzrkGrad09]

My boyfriend is in Baghdad right now, this makes me cry every time I hear it.. :( I think I've heard it about 20+ times now, and still just cried like a baby... Only 2 more months though :)

[@Holliday0703]

From what im told...Mark Schultz use to sneak into the music dept. at K-State to work on his piano skills. Im glad that he did. We sang alot of his songs at Butler under Valorie Mack!!

[@whitneysanders6996]

Cried when i heard this the first time and am today too.

[@EBill23]

My sister is singing this in her music class.

[@bigboys1199]

[@Tiger32697]

@john5699 thank you for serving! ~God Bless

[@morganleeanncooper]

My pretend brother is about to be sent to Afganistan and I pray for him. God, please keep him safe!

[@hendershotmatthew]

i can only pray to god that i might have the straight and courage of the son that he sings of

[@EmiPellegrinoMusic]

I seriously cannot get through this song without bawling , always trying to sing this in the car while blubbering like a baby , LOL. And this performance is absolutely perfect

[@awonderfulfeeling8588]

I may have been in this audience as a little kid. I remember going to one of his concerts back when I was barely old enough to remember. This might've been it. That a time, back when our family was still a family ❤️

[@timwodom2172]

Mark is Awesome,

[@LonelyEyesOnly]

I just can't listen to this song without starting to cry. Thanks a lot for sharing

[@rigamarrow]

God bless the Marine Corps and all who serve!

[@16bunnylover]

i love this song mark shultz is awesome

[@MetasActReon]

My sister made me listen to this song. She figured that if I like 'Traveling Soldier' then I'd love this. She was right, of coarse. Now I love it. It makes me think of my grandpa who fought in Vietnam. P.S. The US was winning that war when he left it.

[@shropshirec]

*Salute*

[@bighoss991]

This is one of my favorite songs ever i remember this song from basic training

[@Surpentk12]

I cry every time I hear this.

[@randyp810]

they played it at our boot camp in the Air Force too

[@felishaMtaylor1992]

i've been looking for this song since the first (and last) time i heard it years ago. i was in the army and missed my chance to serve overseas . God bless our troops. thank you mark

[@spartanphilips117]

way to go for making, i finished 2 months ago at MCRD San Diego. Ooorah!

[@Tiger32697]

did I forget to mention that I have goose-bumps too? cuz I do!

[@birdkitty192]

@EveningCrow god i remember that. i was there when mark shultz CAME to church and sang the song live. my whole flight balled

[@traceynichols7069]

Beautiful ❤️

[@HorseloverFull]

My brother Dan just left on Friday for the war and this reminds of him.

[@Tiger32697]

I cry when I hear this song, the words mean so much because many of my extended family and friends have served/are serving, including one of my brothers, and my mom was so relieved when he came home safe.

[@jnd8999]

Would LOVE to see "Love Has Come" - it's AMAZING!!

[@666soldierofmetal]

i usualy hate songs about war and the troops. but mark knows how to make good music

[@cplikat]

man this reminds me of basic training. STILL lol

[@Scarlet_Phoenix]

@john5699 Thank you for what you have done and are doing for this great country! You have my gratitude, admiration, and respect. God bless you!

[@randyp810]

same in 2008

[@royosuagwu1572]

I bought Mark Schultz Live A Night of Stories & Songs in 2014, and it has remained my most cherished album, would like to have it for life. Every day I play the album, it refreshes my soul and arouses strong positive emotions in me.

[@brimmster]

@john5699 nice post...thank u for ur service

[@ajm080881]

@john5699 God Bless you sir!

[@captillon3963]

I'd love to here a new song coming from him letters from war is still among my favorite songs

[@codybroomfield6179]

why do 4 people dislike this video..........i know mabye they dont aprreticate america the soldires and everyone who died to keep us free because when i went on my 8th grade washington trip we went past the big graveyard for americas vets and it looked like it didnt end... :( how sad

[@traceynichols7069]

😢

[@Surpentk12]

I know just how that feels hun. also I am the same age as you so...

[@teresajo07]

How does he sing this without Crying?

[@LifebytheBook]

@foryou8449 You'll get a Bible from the Gideons. Keep it, Read it, and Meditate on it. Keep your head down and your spirits up! God will watch your back.

[@Fight4MyCountry]

Hey lay it off. Yes, the age gap is quite significant, but that's not the point. The point is that a loved one of hers is in basics, and when he graduates, he'd most likely be deployed to defend freedom.The point is that her loved ones is a warrior ready to defend freedom, and she's worried for his safety.

[@willscottsmith8360]

It’s weird seeing Mark with hair

[@rigamarrow]

Or perhaps she's a young woman who has figured out what a worthy man looks like. May she always be HiS idea of a worthy woman.

[@Manateecutie]

Thumbs up if you're here because of Payne Camp 2011!

[@Nem_FFXIV]

with consent you can join at 16! Not saying its any better or worse though.

[@xboxKingg]

Completely not true. My sister was dating her now called husband when she was 14, and he was 18 (also joining the military). 12 years later, they have 3 beautiful children raised in a christian household.

[@Ironside105]

The Minimum age is 16 actually.

[@RaithisKillsEhm]

@teresajo07 Many many moons of practice

[@jnd8999]

Would LOVE to see "Love Has Come" - it's AMAZING!!
