My Husband was a Combat vet, He didn't get Arlington, but he got a military site like it, the only thing my Husband didn't get, was the Horse drawn carriage! He got the 21 Gun salute, He got that damned Folded Flag! He got the whole shabang! What he got that was rare, was, His CO in Vietnam presided over the entire service. His Brothers that stood with him in combat, were his Honor Guard! He had one hell of a send off! Not many are blessed like that!

My father is buried in Arlington in section 69. Both my ex and son can be buried there. So this song hits real close - too close - to home. If you aren't aware of the history, Arlington was the home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee (through his wife's family) and was appropriated by the Northern troops during the Civil War. There are only a few civilians of great renown buried there amongst the thousands of military heroes. I've stood at the Cenotaph in London and the feelings of great respect and honour are similar to the f÷elites evoked just by stepping onto the hallowedgrounds of Arlington. Thank you for your tributes to our military. It means a lot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇸😪

I am a great granddaughter of a Scotsman, born in Selkirk, Scotland in 1850. His son, my grandfather was born in Wales, so I feel a special connection with you and your pro-USA reatctions!

I joined the Marines at 17. My parents had to sign for me to join. Prior to my departure to Vietnam as I walked through the Atlanta airport a young woman spat on me and called me a baby killer. I served 18 months in Vietnam, one month in Granada, and 8 months in Desert Shield / Storm. On my trip home from the last, my plane stopped off at Dover for refueling. We were required to disembark and driven to a hangar to freshen up. When we walked in we were greeted by hundreds of civilians forming an aisle to the far corner where a vet stood waving our flag and the started playing "I'm proud to be an American ". All of us that had endured the treatment during Vietnam and a few of the others were in tears to witness such a change. It is great that even today with our politics such as they are, our military personnel still get their due respect from most.

My father fought in the war and a couple brothers served also. As a high school student in the early 70's I remember some of the disturbing things I saw on TV and had an awakening as to what was happening in our country. It was truly a shameful part of our country's history. I am so thankful that valuable lessons were learned from that time. Whether you agree with a war or not, the men & women fighting are not our enemies. They are defending our nation and each & every person's liberties & freedom. For that alone, we should be respectful and thankful. If you have a problem with the politics, take it up with a politician. And, might I add, if I were ever to spit on any soldier my father & brothers would have, at the very least, given me a tongue-lashing, a field day on my a** if I even thought about doing it a second time. lol. Thank you for your service, sir. Since we are on the topic - both my dad & mom had military burials at sea.

8:15 I think we as a nation reevaluated our treatment of our service members after the horrible treatment of the returning Vietnam veterans. My dad was just young enough to miss being drafted but saw many of his older friends leave and only a couple came home. He says that he always felt bad knowing that our nation sent them off but when confronted by the visual of war welcomed them home with hate. many of those veterans are there at the airports to welcome the new warriors home so they are given the respect they never had. Now we can hate the idea of "conflict " but separate our feelings about the war from the people we are sending to fight it.

A challenge for all: if you ever see a soldier or veteran sitting by themselves eating or at the park, ask if it's ok to sit with them. Ask them how their day is. Give them a moment of normal interaction. So many military members and vets feel alienated from the civilian world. Giving them a moment of normalcy is a huge gift for them.

I live in the city where the National D-Day Memorial is and recently one of our fallen was finally brought home from Korea and his funeral procession drove through the Memorial... and a few years back the last "Bedford Boy" (tragic story as to why we have the memorial here... it's here on KZbin somewhere... check it out sometime) had his procession drive through there also. I come from generations of veterans, Navy, Army, Army Air Corps (now known as the Air Force) and even the Canadian Army. Lack of respect shown by people today simply infuriates me.

"We're thankful for those thankful for what we've done." I'm one! Amazing video, which I can't pass whenever I see a link. Trace has such a GREAT voice, enunciates so well, and I like the way he sits solo as if he's the soldier telling his story.

Very proud of my British family heritage , serving in the Army, Airforce and Navy and our comrades all over the world who stood with us during deadly conflicts. Arlington is a great song that gives us pause for thought and for me to shed a proud tear. I also love Trace Adkin's song "'Till the last shots fired" Thanks.

Thanks for doing this reaction brother, it truly hits home. Also you'll be interested to know that there is a house on a hill in Arlington National Cemetery (if its still there) that was Robert E Lee's home and while he was off fighting the war the union army were burying bodies around the home so no one could live there after Mrs. Lee died. Because she was in a wheelchair she couldn't go to court to pay her taxes and surrendered the property to the government. Later Lee's son filed a lawsuit against the government for taking the property without due process. Now here's the kicker, if memory serves me right, it was Abraham Lincoln's son that represented the Lee family in court. Cool hey?

I have the upmost respect for all military members. I am a proud granddaughter of a grandfather who served and fought in WWII. I have several family members who have served and some whom still serve. My cousin can be googled~ Gary Shadduck, who was a highly decorated Navy seal. He was a POW and fought in Vietnam. He has been written about in 2 books. I am proud of all my family who have served, including my niece. Most of my family have served in the Navy, some army, some marines, and my mom’s brother, who died when she was little while stationed in London, was in the Air Force. I thank all who serve. I am extremely patriotic and I thank you for the blanket of freedom that I am protected with, I do not take this lightly. You all deserve RESPECT! 🙏❤️🇱🇷

I think you might also appreciate Welcome to Hell by Trace Adkins. There is no official video because he only performs this song on the 9/11 anniversary. There are a few live videos of him performing it, in the one from Ramstein AFB he explains how he wrote the song on September 12th and what he was going through those days right afterwards. Another great one is Til the Last Shots Fired. I love the respect you pay to all military servicemen and women. I live in the Washington DC area and volunteer every year to place flags on the veterans graves on Memorial Day and wreaths at Christmas at Quantico National Cemetery. Walking through Arlington National Cemetery, seeing the Tomb of the Unknowns and JFKs eternal flame and nearby Iwo Jima Memorial are all sights I recommend to anyone visiting Washington DC. I also recommend going downtown to the Vietnam Memorial as well.

Praises to you dear Scotsman for your patience and respects to our Trace for playing through with no interruption...so many...most of these reviews constantly interrupt the artists production rather than wait till the end to review..... I thoroughly enjoyed your review and the sessitivity at this time as our country is raw with so many distressing events and sensitive memories..... Many best wishes for your success....👍🌷

It surprises me that many don't realize that many of our fallen are buried at Arlington. My sister-in-law is buried in Kentucky and had the full military honors. Twenty one gun salute and Taps is not something you can ever erase from your mind. I know it's tradition where our POTUS goes to pay tribute but I and many others would like that to happen for those that are buried elsewhere....they deserve that honor also. I have been to Arlington...it is beautiful and heartbreaking. But I won't find my family members buried there but I deeply appreciate the sacrifice of those who are.

I'm named for my Uncle who gave his life fighting the Nazi's. My father was also part of the Greatest Generation flying against the Nazi's. He served roughly 32 years all the way through Vietnam. He was laid to rest in Arlington almost 30 years ago. I grew up knowing that he would be there, my cousins still hold him close and with respect commenting with pride that Uncle Jesse is there. He was humble, kind, quiet about most things, but he was proud to know that he would end up there. It is a very unique place ... so close to our Nation's Capitol and a major airport as well ... highways ... yet it is so quiet ... until you hear the volley of the 21 gun salute and the mournful yet beautiful melody of taps as it rolls across the rolling hills covered in stones as yet another is laid to rest. When I visit I always meet someone that doesn't have a family member there but has felt the call to pay their respects. It is indeed our most hallowed ground. Rest in Peace to all who have served and sacrificed in the name of freedom throughout the world.
