SCOTTISH GUY Reacts To Tim McGraw- If you're reading this

[@edwardmunson3896]

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.

Over the last 16 years I have worked for an airline and I can remember that 1st flight I worked. The day before the manager came to me asked me to work the flight. The day of My team was ready. Until we saw the family and the honor guards come for the flight to meet it. That’s when it hit us !!! I it to work the flight like all the others but as you start removing the HERO and you stand there watching the honor guard carry them to the car with the American flag on the coffin you just can’t stop yourself from crying knowing someone has paid the price for you to be safe and free.

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! The biggest thing I am proud of when it comes to America is how fast we pull together to help our allies because I know there are horrific things happening in other country that we can't even imagine.

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

First time I’ve heard this song ....I’m crying. I do love your reactions !!!!

[@countryhippie627]

I appreciate you so much for appreciating our music, our country, our people and our veterans. My cousin died in Iraq in 2007 defending our country after 9/11. Our family also went through this hard loss. My pap (whos family is from Scotland) served in our Navy. I am one of the MANY proud Americans! 🇺🇸💕🍻

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.

A soldier is a soldier, no matter who he fights for. There's so much loss with every death.

[@TrolleyDodger.]

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.

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

Powerful Song. Always makes me cry.

[@oliviarussell6258]

It has been such a pleasure binge watching your videos this morning... I seriously can't seem to stop. I could see how much you appreciated this song and I know you aren't American, but I still want to say thank you for your service and welcome home... God bless you! Much love from an internet friend... 💗

[@TheDonsChannel]

Thank you very much Olivia

[@kayeruss7313]

I want to thank all of those who have sacrificed so much for our country and for those in other countries who are helping us to fight terrorism and for the sacrifices they make for their country. Life is too precious to appease those who don't cherish it.

[@TracyD2020]

This song always makes me cry. I was 10 when my grandpa passed away. His wake was about 8-10 hours. I have never seen so many veterans pay tribute to him. A couple of the veterans came up to me because my grandpa always talked about me to them. I miss him everyday.

[@bethkelley575]

Wow, talk about a tearjerker! As a vet, I want to say thank you to all who laid down their lives and those who are somewhere in between (traumatic injuries, etc.).

[@dennorma7515]

I wish I knew the reason behind your love for our Country, Dons Channel. But whatever it is, may I say thank you for showing it so freely.

[@edithpack9962]

Thank you. Tribute to so many who gave the ultimate. We never forget.

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"

We must live good lives, be proud patriots, continue to help those around us, pray often, stand proudly....the brave men and women who have died in the fight for people to live freely, with honor and love...this is why they gave up all for us. When we love well, help others to live better, when we worship God and give thanks ....thier lives were the price for all that we this. You and me and millions of others are so blessed. My deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear uncle. God bless 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".

[@rezz5753]

This song brings tears every time.

You held it together better than me brother..... I bawl every time I hear this song.

[@Heather-jj9sk]

Thank you so much for playing these patriotic songs. I love my red, white, and blue blood. These songs are favorites of mine; confirms my pride and makes my soul weep, and now others who are not familiar can feel it also..❤

[@Jilbo2001]

This is the first time hearing this song. Wow! the lyrics, the visuals, brought on the tears for sure. For my late FIL who did 4 tours of Nam. He's buried in a local Military Cemetery as we're in a Military town. Thanks for sharing. Thanks to all the Military for your service and yours and your families sacrifices.

[@D_Trade]

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

[@effinxrightt]

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.

These are hard to watch. I cry every time. Knowing that so many men and women have given their all for all of us.

[@scottc287]

This version (minus the graphics) is (I believe) the 2007 ACM awards version that he performed for the first time (live) in May of 2007. He wrote the song a few weeks prior, I believe. We were two weeks from the end of our rotation that month when my friend Larry came into the TOC and said "You have to see this" to myself, the boss and the CSM. That immediately became the song for the memorial service for our fallen brothers once we got back to New York the following month. Every time I hear it I think of that tour and Kevin Edgin, Aaron Griner and Scotty Cole. Vires Montesque Vincimus!

[@angieparsons4584]

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

[@ashleycashner6910]

These types of songs are always so hard for me to listen to and I suspect most other military spouses. 5+ deployments…you always tense up and worry when the doorbell or phone rings. Taps hits differently now as military spouse.

[@raelimperialaerosolkid9982]

One of my best friends, a real patriot lost his son in Afghanistan. I cry everytime I hear this song. God bless you Blair T.

[@betsyhuggett2429]

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.
