I am nothing more than an old American Veteran. My struggles have been no greater than any other American. At 73 I am in the final days of my life. I have met a foe that cannot be defeated. That foe is Cancer. The same foe that defeats millions, and never looks back. I am NOT posting this for sympathy....sympathy is not a cure. I am posting this to simply say, I have never been more proud to be an American. That pride has never wavered. I thank my fellow Patriots who are still out there protecting my family. GOD BLESS THEM.

Those who disrespect our flag have never been handed a folded up one. They’ve never had to write or mail one of those letters that you mentioned.

The Vietnam War was in my living room every night. It went from a popular War to a hated War. Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, and Brothers were among the Americans who protested the war. Draft Eligible Men burned their draft cards. People protested in the streets and held sit ins. American citizens protested by burning the flag. You can hate burning the flag but it delivered a powerful message to the United States Government. Burning the flag help close the Vietnam War.

Just because most people won't a few rules like instead of getting a handgun in 10 days we need to wait 14 days just to make sure there is a full background check on the person that is buying the gun. Just like at one of the school shootings if the man who did the killings would have had to wait 14 days they would have gotten the background check in time to know what a bad person he really was and the things he did in the past but the background check had came 3 days too late to stop him. I'm no there are people in other countries who would love to see America go down but that will not happen because at the end of the day we all know how lucky we are to live in this great country. Just let something happened to our country and you will see how fast we pull together. Just like we did on 9/11!

Renee Homen... Spot on! When I march in these parades I march for my father-in-law (and his brothers) who all served in the Wehrmacht... My Scottish landlord who served in the British 8th Army and also as grandparents to my family... My dad who served on a PT-Boat and others.

@@TrolleyDodger. thank you for your service sir.

That's why I like the song Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits.

The recording for this was live at an award show.

This song makes me cry every time I hear it. Thank you for your reaction to it on Memorial Day. Another powerful song is I drive your truck by Lee Brice. At my dad's funeral I jerked a little every time the guns sounded for the twenty one gun salute. Taps is still hard to listen to because it's the ending of the service. Mom always said everyone knew during World War II a soilder died in the line of duty when the Western Union delivery man came to someone's house or a black car with military personnel. They would get a gold star to display in the window. God bless all the troops world over. Thank you

Great patriotic song, George Jones also had one called "50,000 Names Carved in the wall". Donna Fargo "US of A" ; Lee Greenwood "God bless the USA" ; and Loretta Lynn "Dear Uncle Sam".

Seeing the heart and empathy of a Scotsman makes me treasure so much all of our allies around the globe. Thank you. 💕

[@slabriprock5329]

Thank you for your reaction and thank you so much for your service. I love our British brothers like, well, brothers. Cheers.

My sweet husband passed 4 years ago from Agent Orange poisoning. He was 68 and a US Marine. A College Professor of Art an Artist, a kindcman to the homeless. A real man that always stood up for the less fortunate. I was blessed with a real hero in my eyes. God bless you for bringing Memorial day to your site. Love Kenny Rodgers "Prouf to be an American"

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear uncle. God bless you.

In my moms final days of dying from breast cancer, she wrote on the last page of her journal “I’m going home”. This song always reminds me of finding that journal and reading those words a year later. 12 years since she’s passed and I can only hope that she made it to that home and is at peace and pain free.

I can't ever help but notice how much emotion you have on your face. You feel it as someone who has served and has the utmost respect for those that have been lost, no matter where or when. Thank you for having such a strong sense of heart for others and for being so selfless. Much respect.

[@Nancy01ola]

We played this song for a good friend of mine who died in Afghanistan. To see his mother receive that folded flag was heart breaking. 💔 Had an uncle who died in North Korea but that was before I was born. I have been blessed to have all of my cousins and uncles who came back alive. ❤🤍💙

SOOOO PUUURRFECT FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, I WISH THESE YOUNG KIDS WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT IT COSTS OUR COUNTRY IN ORDER TO BE FREE. IM NOT SAYING ALL THE KIDS, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THEM, I DONT THINK THEY REALIZE IT. I LOVE THIS SONG, ALSO THE SONG PRIVATE MALONE,

My brother was a marine served 2 tours in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan.....he wasn’t a good brother but he was a damn fine marine, when we were children and my parents adopted me, my brother pushed me down the stairs out of pure jealousy since he wasn’t the youngest anymore. He wasn’t around much throughout my life either in fact I hated him most of my life. When he came back from Afghanistan he was a changed man but not for the better. He had a lot of demons he fought before he enlisted and going to war just added more of them, he was also adopted and his birth family was atrocious to him they did and put him thru things I cant even mention. But after he came back he married a childhood friend and they had my niece (unfortunately he would eventually overdose on heroin after a lifelong battle of drug addiction and the demons he carried with him his entire life) and even at his funeral when they handed his wife that flag I didn’t cry it was once my niece turned and ran to me that I began to cry because I realized he may have been an asshole and I may have hated him but regardless he was still my brother. Every time I see my niece I thank the universe she was born, she’s a spitting image of him without the demons he fought his entire life....it’s weird but it’s like she’s the second chance he always wanted and needed but ultimately couldn’t have. She’s 14 now and she’s going to be a marine when she grows up just like her dad and great grandpa.

I lost four friends in fourth months this year. Two best friends, first love and high school friend. Any song about death destroys me these days. RIP my angels, until I see you all again. 💙 #PJ #Michael #Aaron #Rachel

[@rayzufall8924]

They played this song when my buddy was buried after he was killed in Iraq. All of us having served over there with either with him or after the fact cried like babies. This song makes me think of him and cry again. Rest in peace Justin Penrod. Miss you every day brother. I'll see you again

[@angieparsons4584]

I never heard that song or ever saw that video, made me cry.

Sitting her, bawling like a baby. I've heard this song about 1,000 times. I'm a veteran and my heart hurts for my sisters and brothers at arms who don't get to live on. Rest easy, your duty is done. We've got it from here.

This is a tear jerker and not only for military but anyone who puts their lives on the line for us.

[@deborahrichardville3027]

This song is so beautiful and sad. I cry everytime I hear it. Not even being to meet his unborn child. So many lives were lost.

I am just a very proud American grandma. I have eight grandsons that are from 17 years down to 3 years old. Scared for them but proud they are being raised with good values of the country and humanity.

Every time I see you respond to these videos about military and soldiers, I have noticed that you truly can connect with these songs. I'm sure you have known some who have made these sacrifices and remember them through these songs and videos. Thank you for your service for your country!

The first time I heard this song I was driving and I had to pull over because I was crying so hard thinking about my Papa that was an army ranger during World War II and Korea and lived to be 82! 🇺🇸

[@pennymcclellen5544]

omg I'm crying :'(.....as an American I appreciate the respect you show for our country. My husband deployed to Iraq a few times and this song is too hard for him to listen to. He lost several friends there and they are never forgotten

It has been such a pleasure binge watching your videos this morning... I seriously can't seem to stop.

My son is a Marine and did 2 tours in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan and thank God he came home in one piece. My heart goes out to all the men and women who didn’t come home and their families. God bless you all !!!

[@mlanders8835]

My husband is a veteran, army. He deployed to Afghanistan when I was 7.5 months pregnant with our first child. Fortunately, he was able to meet our daughter when she was 7 months old. I wasn't able to listen to this song while he was gone. He came home safely and we've got 2 more children and this song still makes me cry every single time

[@gingergaia]

Wonderful reaction to our hometown boy. I'm appreciating all your patriotic reactions. Now I understand why.If you ever branch out please react to more Tim McGraw songs, like "My Little Girl" or even better duets with his wife like " Speak to A Girl" Thanks.

Love that you let the whole video play and then react to it. Others that do reactions that stop it throughout often miss important parts. Well done man
