Heath: Thank you, so, so much for reacting to this song...you have no idea how grateful I am right now. Too often, those that serve are forgotten and discarded. Thank you for caring, brother. For those that may be dealing with a service-related "hell," please...I beg of you: Get help. Somewhere. Anywhere. When you served, you always had a team, watching your six. Being a veteran is no different: You are not alone. You never have been. And when you feel you are drowning in the swarming, blackened rising, hold on to your humanity, and fight. Too often, we lose a brother or sister because they thought they could fight their war on their own. Please, get the help you need, and deserve. You earned it. "When you can't run, you walk. When you can't walk, you crawl. When you can't crawl...when you can't do that...you find someone to carry you." ~ Firefly ep. 11, "The Message" Thank you, whoever you are, wherever you may be, for serving. May you stay safe, on this Memorial Day 2021.

Though I never served I would gladly carry you brother. And I agree with you fully. To ask for help is no sight of weakness. Though it might not be bullets that hurt a person today there may still be scars and to heal you need a differnt kind of medic. It's not the same thing but a couple of years ago my father were diagnosed with cancer and began treatment and also suffered pneumonia and went into a medically induced coma for three weeks. I had the mindset to be strong and didn't show any feelings even when I went to see him. This kept all the feelings inside and I stopped sleeping due to the fear of getting a call from my family telling me that he stopped breathing. I had a great boss that I told and a even greater girlfriend that I live with to this day. My boss got me a free psychologist and my gf second the tips that to just go to my father, talk to him even though he wouldn't respond and just let things out. I have never cried as much in my life than that day. After a couple more sessions with the psychologist during the coma, after him waking up and the cancer going away I can say that if not for that I would have blamed myself for life if I just kept everything inside of me if my father would have passed away. I were lucky to have a supporting gf and a boss that helped me.. but if you are alone or if you don't have the support from Human Resources ..just try to talk to -somebody-. The weight on your shoulders will fall off and the release will make you feel so stupid when you look back at why you kept it inside all along. Also: Thank you all for your service and sacrifice.

A large segment of our country wants nothing more than to just forget Vietnam happened, and seeing Vietnam vets is a reminder that it did indeed happen. Even now, 46 years after the war ended, I still get nasty remarks from people when I wear my Vietnam Veteran hat. I used to think that would end after enough time had passed; now I know it will not end until we're all gone. All we want is to be remembered for what we did. Unfortunately, other than for a few people like yourself, most people don't want to remember; they just want to forget and pretend it never happened. Thank you again Isaiah; I really mean that!!

@@ralphboyer2538 : You are welcome, sir. I only learned about it in school, because we had originally touched on the fact that during Vietnam, it was the first war to be televised. Second, it was also the first war after World War II that had the draft. When I first saw the news footage from the 1960s and 1970s, my thought at the time was: Why? Why did America hate her fighting men so much? Even now, I still dont understand why, given that Second World War veterans came home to heroes' welcomes. You did the same thing they did, you served in the same army, wore the same uniform. Went to a foreign country, just like them. Yet you were the hated ones. You gave everything, to go to a place where you never felt that you were truly safe. You dealt with demons during night patrols, and many who served, of your generation, lost people they cared about -- best friends, battle buddies. And then to come home, already being shattered or broken...and feeling like nobody cared...sir, I cannot, nor will I ever, know what it was like for you. All I can do is ensure that your story is told, until my last breath. You and your comrades did the impossible -- fighting a highly-politicized war -- and that, sir, in my eyes, makes you mighty.

I'm incredibly sorry! I wish the system was better for our Vets. But, there are also Vets who won't get help. I know this coming from an almost entirely military family. There are some great programs out there. But, I think what we need most is a program that creates a better transition between military and civilian life. BEFORE they get out! That would be the most helpful thing we can do. And make better changes at the VA. It's better than it was. But far from good. I've Lost all three of my parents.( Father, Mother and Stepfather) All are buried in National Cemeteries along with Aunt, Uncles and Grandparents. The VA was truly horrible in Phoenix AZ. Neglect and failure to do basic tests cost me my Mom and Stepfather only months apart. Anyway, I do hope in time that our troops get much better care. But given our White House's agenda right now, I doubt it will be any time soon. 💕🙏🇺🇸 God Bless those all who have fought and fallen! All of our Troops who serve and have served!

Death Punch definitely has a way of opening people's eyes to what battle can do to those who fight for our protection. One of the reasons as to why I love them. More songs like this are their cover of Gone Away and also When the Seasons Change. Also more songs that benefit veterans are from a group called the Warrior Song Project I believe. They've done songs for most the branches like Hard Corps, The Warrior Song, Aer Vis, Leviathan, and Aquila Natus. They all sound similar, but the lyrics and sounds are a little different to reflect the branches. My favorites are Hard Corps since my dad is a Marine, and Leviathan since my granddad was in the Navy

Thank you for this video. As an Army vet that was medically retired after serving 13 years. This seriously hits home. I feel guilty that my brothers and sisters in arms are some of these statistics and I am one of the ones that is "ok" and i use the term ok loosely because I fought in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of the 10th Mountain Division and have been through literal HELL. I have chronic PTSD, and if it wasn't for the support of my wife and son I would have been a statistic too. With what we go through we are essentially led to believe we are expendable and nothing more than an instrument of war and are discarded once the government feels we are no longer of any use. I know there are people out there that care but do not know these numbers and the government just sweeps these issues under the rug. It is a very serious issue that needs to be corrected, for the sake of my brothers and sisters pleas pay attention and do research on these issues.

I've watched a few reaction videos to this song. This one is the only one that did a close up of the list of organizations to contact to give or receive help. Well done.

FFDP is an incredible band with great songs. I have no words to express how awesome it is that they use their platform to share such a message. God bless our veterans.

For years, I do alot of volunteer work weekly with veterans of all different wars so this video has made me tears up every, single, time I watch it! Please support our Veterans in any way you can. Prayers, donations, volunteer or just shake their hand and say thank you. They deserve so much more!!

You looked away for the part that makes me cry every time, he mouthed "You saved my life brother." Before picking him up.

Thank you for reacting to this incredible song. I myself am a 20 year vet, retired. I was one of the fortunate ones that never had to go thru any of this but there are so many more that are going thru this and so many more that will go thru this. I tear up everytime I hear this song or watch this video. I love how 5FDP cares so much for our veterans. Keep on reacting, love your reactions.

I cry every time I hear this song. My late husband was a Vietnam Veteran and a wonderful man and PATRIOT who loved this country, God and family! God Bless our Veterans and the families of the ones who didn’t make it home ❤️🇺🇸🙏

This song is the reason that every time I see a homeless person I give what I have atm and ask them if they want to get something to eat and drink with me. It really opened my eyes. You never know what they went tru and why they are in that situation.
