Stompin' Tom Connors - Blue Berets (Official Music Video)

[@neilcote1214]

I'll always be grateful to a Canadian friend for introducing me to Stompin' Tom's music.

[@joancotter7960]

Brilliant my husband is at .52! I waved him away on this one. So glad he came back okay.

[@jamesm3657]

From things like this to returning his Juno awards to his singing about Canada he was a true patriot in every aspect of the word. Canada was luck to have him!

[@deebosmoviereviews4868]

Stompin tom was definitely outlaw

[@gordgraham8426]

Thanks for this song Stompin Tom about the troops god bless them all

[@vitaquasus1120]

Blessed are the peace keepers. It was great to see Stomping Tom shaking their hands

[@MegaJustGeorge]

Yes, indeed, sir - Stompin' Tom shook hands with the best!

[@Rayfinkle5970]

He shook the hands of canada's best blue berets.

[@twigglykevin]

tom would be spinning if he saw us now :(

[@MegaJustGeorge]

When I stop to think that some people in the States prefer Lee Greenwood's form of country music to this, it just gives me the dry heaves. God Bless Stompin' Tom Connors!

[@lindaisherwood7508]

I’ve always been proud that Canada uses our armed forces in this manor. Thanks for the inspiring song, Tom! And thank you to the Blue Berets, one and all!

greeting from Belgium

[@ericturner7173]

Getting ready for another UN Peacekeeping deployment. I always try to show this to the Commissioned Officers so they get a sense of what we might be able so. 14 months, less one day.

[@truenorthgames]

Bless you lad Canada kicks ass as peacekeepers 🍺

[@Avocado7765]

The blue berets: best mustaches of earth’s armed forces.

[@MegaJustGeorge]

How very true, my friend - I did, indeed, notice the handlebar!

[@trex5863]

So sad that Stomping Tom Conners is so underrated 😥😭

[@robertarisz8464]

Ha! Underrated my @$$! Tom is my number 1 hero. And in competition for that title are Bowie, Nietzsche, Picasso, and Dostoyevsky. Many other great heroes to choose from but for pure passion, being down to earth, and consistently staying true to your roots, there is none better than him. If a better hero comes along, I will change my mind. But for now, Tom is the man and he will always hold his own.

[@MegaJustGeorge]

@@robertarisz8464 Thanks for the mentions of Bowie, Nietzsche, Picasso and Dostoyevsky, Robert - I shall try my best to take an interest in their works.

[@lsnows]

Yeah, but only South of the border.

[@BumpyHumpyDumpy]

It’s sad how diminished the CAF has become. MPs now have a base salary of $200K as it was reported just yesterday that CAF soldiers were forced to use Food Banks in Ottawa.

[@carolmullins]

It was like that in Ottawa in the 80s and 90s..Ottawa has always been horribly expensive. Those of us at that time took 2nd jobs..I worked from 8am-4pm as a clerk, and 6pm -12 am at fast food joint..did that for years.

[@BumpyHumpyDumpy]

@@carolmullins Thank you for your service. It’s an absolute disgrace. We need to build up CAF by increasing pay, pension and incentives. We should seek to meet our 2% NATO spending goal by directly investing in our soldiers.

Served June - December 1978 Ismalia Egypt.

[@truenorthgames]

Hey lad my cousin did there UN tour in Cyprus bless the blue berets!

[@billadams6969]

What happened to our blue berets sad time it is

[@milkbag682]

They are still in service, just less of em

[@georgeleon1263]

Interesting fact during the Rwandan Genocide Canadian UN Commander General Romeo Dallaire put this song for the countless refugees and UN peacekeepers taking shelter at the UN compound in Kigali during the artillery bombardments kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3SkgKGAp92ggc0si=Mt4ckIwjCE8wWjsS 50:05

[@ladyweasellou3367]

I've got to admit if there was a sniper and I'm trying to sneak about... That blue is going in my pocket or in my kit.

[@ladyweasellou3367]

Still less visible than the white of the FFL.
