I'm a retired K9 handler from the US Air Force with a collective 1,481 deployed down range. I say that to put the irony of this short story into perspective. I had stopped at a gas station while in uniform and had this really old man approach me, stick his hand out, and attempt to thank me for my service. At first I didn't think anything of it and just about to go through the motions when I noticed his hat. He was a WW2, Korea, and Veitnam Vet. I stopped him dead in his tracks and told him he has no business thanking me. After all, I just walked the road he paved. Songs like this make me think of men like him. Legends. Every one of them.

The soldiers arent the only ones that have paid. The families of the soldiers have as well. I dont mean that what the soldiers did was less. As someone who has already taken the asvab and has enlistment planned for next year i understand what the price is, and I say that both parties have paid dearly. Thats just my opinion though.

I respect all soldiers as my father and uncle where in the us navy, but you need to understand that the flag isn't the United States. And it's your right constitutionally to kneal during the anthem. I understand how you feel, but that's not how this works. It is their first amendment right to do just that. You don't have to agree with it, cause I sure don't but you have to understand just cause you don't like it does not mean people can't do it.

I know the initial inspiration Mr. Adkins had for writing this song. Mr. Adkins meet the father of the young Marine whose picture and headstone is shown in this video and the conversation with Mr.Nixon led to the writing of the song.Patrick Nixon was a young man with plans to become a teacher when he got out of the Marine Corp. He also made it known to his family that his wishes were to be buried at Arlington Cemetary if he lost his life while serving our country. Unfortunately for him and all who knew and love him; he "made it to Arlington." I knew Patrick, not as well as the rest of my family...my mother babysat him as a young boy, my sister is married to his brother, my daughters knew Pat and my family loves Patrick always. People who make judgements about Mr. Adkins reasons for writing "Arlington" just don't know what the real premise behind writing this song was. It was not politically motivated at all. It reflects a soldiers true story, one that many soldiers buried in Arlington and all of our other military cemetaries across the country share. The song is a true story and tribute to all our fallen heroes. Heroes that never wanted to be heroes, they wanted to help militarily as best as they could and they knew what it could cost them. Many soldiers have given their life and some where taken from them due to carelessness of their own fellow soldiers and commanders. Family and friends of each of these fallen soldiers love and miss them. Stop being mean and negative regarding this song. There are many of us who understand the real meaning of this song. Sad that you haters just don't get the message.

Every politician should be required to spend at least one day in Arlington in an attempt to know what the true cost of war and freedom is. Maybe then they wouldn't be so quick to start wars... Arlington is a humbling, hallowed ground. The sheer size of the grounds and all the white crosses is overwhelming. I went there to bury my father in law during the height of the war in 2005, I think. I toured the grounds the day before the service. When you hear the 21 gun salutes echoing through the grounds, it brings a chill up your spine and sorrow to your heart. And to witness the changing of the guard and the dedication of The Old Guard is an honor. I had gotten to know a former guard a few years earlier and he was the most decent human being I have ever met. Their service is so awe inspiring. I returned in 2011 to bury his wife with him and I cried even more this time when I heard the guns echoing throughout the grounds... To all military personnel past and present, thank you for your service, you deserve better treatment than what you have been given. To families who lost loved ones, your sacrifice has not gone unnoticed. This country enjoys freedom because of you all...🙏✝️🕊️ 🇺🇲🇺🇸

I'm a future vet and I can't explain how much of an honor it is to serve, fight, or die for our country. It may not always be as great as it once was but it is still America and nothing can change that. I will always give my life for this great country!

I heard tell that some people think this song disrespected veterans who were not buried at Arlington. My dad told me that my uncle (killed in Hoengsong Korea) could have been buried in Arlington, but instead was buried where he grew up. I don't consider this song "disrespect" to him. Thank you, Trace, for reminding us of ALL those left behind.
