[@thesailjunkie]

Twenty-year USAF vet here. I'm proud to have served with all my military brothers in all services throughout my career. The military; you can get out or retire, but you can never leave. Salute.

[@jimorlando8664]

58,000 of my peers died (Vietnam); Different teams, but the same League!. This video gets me every time. --USMC Vet.

[@alanrappaport9937]

I am a Vietnam Vet and by nature and experience not much for tears. But I cannot get through this video without the tears flowing. the fine actors David Huddleston and James Mceachin embody service pride ,patriotism and the knowledge that we aging. In real life Mr Mceachin isarecipent of the silver star and purple heart.

[@gtc1961]

If you're a Vet and didn't tear up watching this....there's something missing.

[@PeopleNeed2LoveMore]

Loved this film my husband a veteran just passed away, many veterans die alone, I also have a son serving now, god bless them all each and every one of them.

[@thesailjunkie]

As a military retiree, I can appreciate the rivalry; it's always there. But in the end, we all appreciate each other's service and dedication.

[@31Mike]

And have each other's backs when needed.

[@hinckleypoland]

I just burried my father yesterday. A 21 year veteran of the USAF. Very moving clip. I was in tears. Thank you. Thank you Veterans

[@bretr9663]

I have never been able to watch this without tearing up. Thanks to all that served.

[@FayeMorgana]

I am not ashamed to say I cry every time I see this short. I've never served, but I respect and love our military. Thank you to all that have served or are now serving.

[@TxTrouble]

Same here.

[@edwardwright4633]

You took the words right out of my mouth. Well said.

[@jonsampearson]

Veterans understand that level of respect for each other. I'll always do what I can to help my fellow veterans.

[@m0tbaillie]

This video gets me right in the feels every time. //US Navy (active)

[@beantownjunkie77]

Me too bro. Also active Navy. Also a GM

[@cannong1728]

go Navy!

[@31Mike]

Go Army!

[@Otswartz]

Same here. Navy retired.

[@iamnolegend483]

If that doesn't bring a tear to your eyes, you're dead inside.

[@usaveteran-retired6464]

Incredibly touching. Be sure to Thank a US Veteran whenever you come across one. Thank our Active Forces, too - God bless them all, and God bless America!

[@MrFatboyy2k]

You made an old vet shed tears. It is so true. Navy RM 2nd C. 65-67--DAV

[@TALISMAN7690]

This short film gets me crying every time I watch it I have upmost respect for our vets living and dead

[@guns155mm]

All children of today need to see this. Bring tears to my eyes everytime i watch it.

[@robertmorris8997]

I was in the Marines, my sister was in the Navy, my nephew was in the Army, 4th Division, and my Dad was in The Big Red One. Had an uncle in The Seabees in WW II, and another a P-38 mech in the Army Air Corps. Whenever the Army Navy game comes around, I'm conflicted.

[@fredresz7773]

GET IT TOGETHER MARINE! DECONFLICT YOURSELF - YOU ROOT FOR NAVY!! That's a great family service history, thank you all for your service and may God bless each and every one of you. Go NAVY! .

[@Georgejmh]

To my Dad Bill, My Uncles Frank, George, Billy and Bob. You were THE Generation and you are all missed and loved! WWII Veterans, all!

[@Otswartz]

And to my family. Albert, George, Howard, Charly and LG. WWII vets, rest in peace.

[@marksosa8328]

This piece, as a decorated Veteran, touched me to emphasize that the gap of our respective branches doesn't surpass our collective call to duty. I, we, share a bond of duty, honor and sacrifice. God bless those past, present and future who have answered the call.

[@Ghostgirl3130]

I can't stop crying 😭😭😭😭😭 I thought something was going to happen. Then when he didn't come out the tears came. I'm glad he put the flag at half staff. 🇺🇸

[@sherryhazelwood6254]

This is an amazing video. Only takes a bit of your time and it's so worth it. I am so proud and thankful for all who served in every branch of the military. My Dad, Elmer Ramsey, cousin Harvey, Nephew Jeff. My husband Jimmie, Brothers' n law, Jack Hazelwood and Fred Palkow. I am honored to have known you all.

[@kenknight6629]

As a Vet I thank them for their service.

[@59cadcoupe]

Excellent film, well worth watching! My dad is a World War 2 Vet. Still living at 93. Thank you Dad.

[@Jenellesl]

Brothers and sisters. Just don't try to get in between. When it comes down to it, we all watch each others backs AQ1 USN 1964 - 1979

[@johnmagill3072]

Exactly. Doesn't matter the era we served, or the branch. I get along better with another Vet who I never met before than I do my own flesh and blood.

[@TomDoesUtube]

Amen sister .. The Nam ‘68 & ‘69 took the oath to protect our country and constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic .. I got your back.

[@kenknight6629]

This so great. You don,t know unless u served.

[@judithjohnson2616]

My husband and I proudly and willingly served this wonderful country of ours for over combined total of 53 years. It is with great pride I will lower my Iwo Jima flag to half mast in remembrance of him. Thank you for your service.

[@angryaltman]

My buddy sent this to me, I teared up on it. He is a Navy Vietnam Vet and I am 82nd Iraq and Afgan vet, and we go at it all the time. But we will kick the mess out of any non-military supporters. Its that family love.....kinda like how we make fun of the 101st but get pissed when a non-military person does, we are all family and I am proud of anyone who raised there right hand. Thank you guys and gals

[@vburget]

Touching and heart-warming. Thanks from an Army (and Viet Nam) vet

[@DonovanMontierth]

Vince thank you for your service. If you would like this little film saved for future generations please consider contacting the National Film Registry. This film is being considered for conservation this year and we would be honored if they would choose it as one of their 25 films being conserved. You can write a letter to [e-mail]

[@kenknight6629]

Thank You

[@Brothers-ink]

Thanks, Cynde, I think you'll find that the feature has the same spirit as the short. I hope you enjoy.

[@hillbillyjihad]

What a wonderful little film, My Grandfather was a WWII vet on the West Virgina, and he had the same routine almost exactly. I miss him, these last 20 years so much. What a wise and caring man of honor and integrity

[@RufusTFirefly64]

Brilliant short. A smile and a tear every time I watch it. I share it with my shipmates every year on Facebook.

[@TxTrouble]

I wasn't able to serve, so instead spent 8 years worth of Sundays at the USO. Being on the tarmac for dignified transfers and spending a week each year with the kids of Snowball Express truly opened my eyes to the sacrifice made by those who wear the cloth of our great nation.

[@TxTrouble]

Army/Navy day 2019. This video perfectly captures the essence of the game.

[@10Spacin]

My Friend Joe is a WWII Vet and Just Turned 90 years Old! 90!! And he drives his own car and still does push ups and sit ups every day! Trying to get him to the WWII Memorial nrxt year for Memorial Day but some memories are to painful! God Will Bless U.S. Vets Every Day! Great Video!

[@mlgm1971]

Thank you to all of those who sacrifice for this great country, now and in the past. This is a wonderful and poignant film. And yes I cried.

[@Ponkapoag]

RIP David Huddleston.

[@71742s]

One video brought so many emotions. Humerous watching the two old veterans hash it out without a word said between them. In the end, we all fight for the same freedom. Awesome video.

[@imagezero]

From day one in boot camp, I always welled up when saluting our colors. This little movie was no exception. Van Johnson - USN Desert Shield/ Desert Storm.

[@pman5k4u]

Goes to show that some of the deepest messages are pure actions... no words need be written or spoken to convey them... Also as a veteran myself I think its safe to say that 99.999% of my fellow vets would agree.... it is always an honor and a pleasure to serve.

[@SuperC5guy]

Great video. As someone who is still serving, this video gave me chills. Thanks to all those who have served.

[@oldwarrant4]

I copy and send this out to all my friends on May 30 and also Nov 11. These aren't days just for barbecuing or going to the mall, they are days to remember the fallen who went before us. I'm proud to have served 35 years in the Coast Guard. I wish I could have shown this to my dad, grandfather, uncles and great uncles. They all served with pride and some endured hardships most people couldn't dream up in a nightmare!

[@CyclopsPhotog]

Awesome video. The relationship between services is portrayed perfectly. We harass each other like brothers but in the end we have the utmost respect for each other.

[@vitalsenise]

Also the Aussies during the Vietnam War on Port Call. Get a few drinks and for sure someones going to say something about the Queen. I guess it's feelings carried on since King George during British occupation of the Colonies. Before you know it the SP's or MP's would be bringing everyone in the Paddy Wagon headed for the Brig. Lol. It didn't take very much to stir them up. Then before you knew it you were headed back out in the China Sea fighting together and our lives did depend on each other- I was a Corpsman and we would get SAR calls didn't matter what country and the Aussies are good fighting men. That's how I learned whenever you go to a joint always look to see if there's a rear exit and sit there to disappear. I still do that to this day.

[@Jenellesl]

Ralph Damato Ran across some Aussie sailors in Singapore. I proved I can't outdrink them Great guys, all of us who put those uniforms on and take an oath to support and defend. Thanks to all of you.

[@waynefitzer4216]

I have watched this video several times, and it always brings a tear to my eyes.

[@VernonParker]

I normally don't share patriotic things to my news feed but this video is incredible. Let's make this THE popular video of the day people. Meanwhile at the schoolhouse at Fort Leavenworth, KS (Army base) where I work, where international students and US interservice agencies (civilian and military) come for strategic collegiate studies, the flagpole in front of the building has not had a US flag raised in more than a month now because for some reason they cannot figure out how to repair the flagpole in a timely manner. Were it a Marine base they would have a Corporal climb that damn pole every day and duct tape it up there if that were what it takes until they got it fixed. If it were a Navy base they would have the Seabees or some MR shop on a ship manufacture the parts and have it fixed or liberty is secured until it is fixed.

[@GuitarHeroJCJ]

This is probably the best film I have watched on KZbin. Greetings from England.

[@535echo]

@SkivMarine I'm proud to be an American and I thank all who have served and are serving now!!! God bless you!!!

[@Skyhikat]

I found myself in tears at the end of this clip.

[@Nightverge]

Thank you. Very few people understand that the jokes and taunts, the rivalry, are all part of our little game. Nobody understands or loves a brother-in-arms like a fellow serviceman. Go with grace, brother.

[@DocHellfish]

Short film with not a single word uttered, but a powerful message conveyed.

[@rickfraser3199]

This is one of my favorite Veterans videos. Enjoy.

[@ablemagawitch]

Damn where is my comment from over 10 years go. 360 P was HIgh Res back then... This clip, the humor and respect has stood up well to the test of time. I saw thumbnail today (Feb 3rd 2023) and got excited because it showed back up as suggestion, as I had lost the bookmark of it hard drive crash. Bravo Zulu

[@1bensr]

I view this video often and, every time, it makes me tear up! As a disabled Vietnam Vet, I love working with our elder Vets.....

[@Georgejmh]

I served, (USN), my brother (USAF), but also cousins (USArmy, USN, USMC & USAF). Then there's my Dad (USArmy) and multiple uncles (USArmy, USN, USMC). All served with credit. Happy Veterans Day!

[@trijutsu]

To all my brothers and sisters in arms, I applaud your honorable service and sacrifice to make this nation what it is today and through the years. You have all experienced the brotherhood and the extended hand of friendship and collective efforts to ensure successful mission accomplishment. Thank you for your service and hold your heads high! Anywhere, anytime, anyplace, SF Ret, 27 yrs, 4 mo, 19 dys, and 5.5 hrs but who is counting, LOL!

[@doncale3583]

The first photo on display as the camera enters his apartment appears to be a Royal Canadian Navy uniform. Very beautiful tribute. Don 32 yrs RCN.

[@cameronmalotte5502]

If you've seen this before, you don't need to watch it again (although I never grow tired of it). I have posted this for the past several years on Memorial Day. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it!

[@Octobersky1770]

Thank you that was awesome totally made me cry. The most memoriable time I raised colors was on my ship overlooking the Arizona memorial in Hawaii. Our ship was very big and it was the only spot we'd fit. I could see the remains of the Arizona very clearly. It was also our first U.S. port after coming back from the Gulf War. Both me and the guy who was doing colors with me, cried our eyes out. It was very powerful. Thank you for posting this wonderful video. God Bless the USA! - US Navy!

[@OUsoonerMarine]

So moving, chilling and resounding with No words spoken... I truly am touched by this video.. I thank ALL VETERANS in every uniform for their duty and sacrifice.. God Bless and Semper Fi....and PROUD to be among the rest of you... with tears..

[@squirlly7328]

I watch this every so often and still makes me cry... and GO NAVY! Also look up "Old Army Hat but Bill Anderson"

[@2098elk]

Great video. Really shows what being a veteran is about. We are all "brothers" no matter what branch of service we were in. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

[@IndianaSurfGuitar]

Back at ya, SkivMarine! As a retired veteran (2 years Army/19 years Army National Guard), it doesn't matter in what branch they served, I will render a proper salute when "Taps" is played at their burial. For me, it is the fact that United States (abrv. U.S.) preceeds our branch on our uniforms.

[@raymondf.cichjr.7770]

[@thesailjunkie]

I never tire of watching this video. USAF Ret (1974 - 1994)

[@MichaelSmith-bj2ql]

It takes a lot to get me teary eyed. This did. Wow.

[@nicholebeachblue]

Thank you to all the men and women who have served our country so valiantly, kept us safe, and most importantly fought and gave their lives for these "Our United States". God Bless and God Speed in bringing those away from their homes back to a grateful nation.

[@squirlly7328]

How does this video not have a million views? Oh and GO NAVY!

[@specops56]

Best tribute I've ever seen! Literally brought tears to my eyes. This old Navy man thanks you!

[@georgesliney8264]

I was hoping not to cry, but I did. Great short film. I wonder who the 25 people are that selected thumbs down?

[@JettBlast]

I love you all my brothers and sisters , And the ones who have not made it home. May you find rest in the everlasting Arms. 

[@Joe-bm4wx]

I've been looking for this video for a long time, glad to have finally found it!

[@TisEyerish1]

Couldn't watch this without crying. I was hoping that, by the end of the film, they were going to be playing chess. God bless our vets.

[@zuman95]

God bless all our vets US NAVY 1978 to 1982 great video

[@The_Greml1n]

Never in the History of Mankind has so much been owed, by so many, to so few. - Winston Churchill Its is foolish and Wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, Let us thank God that such men lived. -General George S. Patton

My dad, US Army & US Air Force and a medic in the Korean War, me USCG & Air Natl Guard.

[@ArgoNunya]

Very moving, thank you. God bless our veterans - and their families. We are forever indebted to their service and sacrifice...

So beautiful, can't help but shed some tears.

[@TrueCourse]

Yes it does every time, Guns. I even had to stop the clip for a moment since I'm at a cafe right now and I didn't want to see the end. People would start wondering ;) This reinforces why I serve... not just for all but also especially for my fellow service men and women.

[@hgmarsh1]

this video says soo much...we owe so much to all who have served

[@spiderpanch]

[@kingoftyre357]

Beautiful! well done.

[@susanstokes4139]

I served 20 years and my husband as well, our fathers served in WWII and the Korean War. I have such respect for our Veterans and particularly the older ones. If you've served, this video will certainly hit home. I wept like a baby at the end.
