The first time i heard this song i was driving home from work. I had to pull over because of the tears. My friend's Dad, ( who is mine also), is buried in Arlington. He served in the Army in Vietnam as a medic. When i got out of the submarine service in 1991, he was the first non family member to welcome me home and to help me adjust to civilian life. He died just a few years later. At his burial, the Honor Guard was Amazing!! They had a soldier escort his widow by the arm and explained everything to her. At the graveside , these guys executed every move flawlessly, the 21 gun salute sounded as one rifle. The feeling of pride overshadowed sadness. The headstones of the men and women buried there, no matter the direction, are perfectly in line. If anyone is thinking of going to Arlington, please go, it will be an experience you'll never forget. Id also visit the Vietnam Wall, the Nurses Statue, Korean and WW1 and WW2 memorials. The WW1 is behind the tree line on the one side of the reflecting pool. All i ask is be respectful . Im sure all would be anyway.
I dont know he sings these songs without crying. I cry on every single one of them.I was in Korea and on my last day of tour I got shot. I'm proud to say I am a marine. If I had to do it all over again ...I definitely would. God bless everyone who served and still serving. Thank you.
If you have never been to this most sacred ground and have a chance to go, do so as it is a most humbling experience. The feeling you get when you actually walk amongst the rows of white crosses and witness the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is like nothing you have ever felt before. Thank you Trace for this song and a huge thank you to every Veteran since the Revolutionary War. You all are the real examples for our youth to look up to. RIP heroes, you have earned it.
Country Music is full of songs about veterans. Old songs, current songs, songs in the process of being written and more that will be written. Country music LOVES their veterans.
Very touching song and video. I want to personally Thank All Our Veterens For Your Bravery ,Sacrfice And Courage for our free and democracy. Let Freedom Ring! God Bless You All!
As a vet that saw a lot of his brothers die I'm informing everyone that you shouldn't thank a vet you need to thank the ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice and dyed for the country
This is the song that gives me goosebumps. In concert Trace always asks for silence and respect when he sings this beautiful song. Thanks for playing, you always do a great job, Judy.
Trace actually pulled this from his album, thought it would upset too many surviving families... but THEY asked that it be put back. So he put it back.
This is a beautiful song. It always makes me cry. Our son has been in the US Navy since 2004. He is currently deployed. He hopes to be buried in Arlington some day. I pray that day never comes during my lifetime. Bless you and thank you to all of the veterans and to those currently serving out there. Rest in peace, Uncle Billy, Uncle Jerry, and Uncle Bobby Joe, and to all of you, too many to mention, who have given your lives in service to our country. Thank you for this video. I look forward to seeing more of your reaction videos. Have a blessed day.
My husband died in Iraq in 2009 and he always said if I die don’t cry for me I gave my life for you and I would do it again I go into this with the burden of sacrifice and gladly fight and die if that’s what I must do
Thanks for playing this video. I wanted you to so bad. I gave this CD to my son in 2006 when he was in basic training at Fort Knox, Kentucky. I have the CD now and love what this song stands for. I have so much respect for our military. Veterans day will be here soon. November 11. Please everyone don't forget our veterans. This is their day. Trace Atkins also does the wounded soldiers project. He's a good guy and has many more great songs out there that will touch your heart. Thanks again for playing this song and seeing the other side of this great singer. God Bless You and God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Tim McGraw if you're reading this. It's about a note a soldier wrote to his wife if he didn't make it through the war. It's one of those songs I can't listen to without crying.
I care for my 6 year old Godson because his mom suffers from PTSD from processing remains at DoverAFB. Miraculously.....occasionally this song helps to diminish her nightmares because it represents them in a state of peace .... that she did not get to see.
I can't help but think of my sister-in-law when I hear this song. She died of Melanoma in 2010 at the age of 49. She wasn't buried in Arlington but in her home in Kentucky. The 21 gun salute makes me jump every single time I hear it and I can't make it thru Taps without crying.. always been that way. Another beautiful song for our veterans...thank you, Ty.
I come from a heavily populated military family, and I’m always happy when the proper respect is paid to active military (my son), veterans, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you so much for helping raise awareness for the real heroes in this life.
God Bless all of our military!!! My family is almost entirely military. I have buried both of my Grand parents, my Aunt and Uncle, My Mom, My Dad and my stepfather in National Cemeteries. And one day my brother will be. I sadly will never be laid to rest by my family. But, that's the price we pay to be FREE!
I used to live in Bethesda, maryland, just outside of DC.My dad took us to Arlington the first time, when I was 8 years old. Even at that age, seeing the acres and acrews of snow white tombstones laid out in perfect symetry was truly heart wrenching. Then watching the absolutely perfect ritual of the Chainging of the Guard at the Tomb of the UnknownSsoldier, it is impossible to not tear up. The absolutely serene respect shown to those entombed there will move you like nothing else. Some folks believe that the white marble stone is in fact where they are buried; it is not. The three Unknown Soldiers and buried under the engraved marble slabs in fron of the Memoriam sarcophagus. The films about how the three representeative Unknowns were selected is available on line and even those ceremonies were beautiful and so respectful.
I remember going to Arlington and seeing all of the crosses row after row after row I felt compelled I touched every cross in that cemetery it took me 5 days there are four hundred thousand men buried there 400000 too many it was overwhelming and to think of all the families that lost their loved ones that was fifteen years ago I will be taking my grandson next year he will be 15 to see his great grandfather's grave Johnson c Cantrell United States army 1944
Thank you very much for showing us Trace Adkins / also for the songs: Hot Mama / You're Gonna Miss This / and all the songs which I don’t know up to now but will getting knowledge later / without you I may be never will hear something from him / he did have such a wonderful voice / WOW / greetings from Germany
Hey man, I just want to say I listen to this song at least once a month, sometimes more and I will full on cry like a baby. Your video was listed under his today and I watched your reaction. First, thank you for not interrupting it and I can honestly, truly see by watching your face and eyes that you felt something while listening to it. That means alot and shows me that you understand the sacrifices and it matters to you, it's not just something you said because it's the right thing to say. Because you showed respect for the content and meaning of the song, I wanted to show you the respect and say thank you for that and leave you some kind words. Have a Great 2020.
Came out during my son's second deployment. Very difficult to listen to. So beautiful. (Someone below suggested "Letters From Home" by John Michael Montgomery. My youngest couldn't listen to that one while his brother was deployed.)
A lot of country artists have done songs for the military. That man is HUGE. Think about this, the honor guard is mandatory between 6 and 6-2" and he towers over that soldier. I'm the daughter of 2 vets. I KNOW what next Monday means. Try "I Drive Your Truck" sometime.
Corinne, I am also the daughter of 2 vets; one from the US Air Force, the other a member of the British Royal Air Force. Please know that I am incredibly grateful for your parent's service. I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
If you didn't realize it in the lyrics, he talks about the spirit of his grandfather recognizing his spirit after he gets buried in Arlington. The part where he says he clicked his heels
I absolutely love your channel. Its offered me hours of entertainment. Regarding this video of "Arlington" by Trace Adkins,,,,,when he says a "big white house just up the road", He's referring to the White House. The building behind him at the time is the U.S. Capital where Congress is located. Thanks and please stay safe my friend.
I remeberd about this song a week ago and Ive been watching reactions and listening to it alot RIP. Also this song is based off Marine Corporal Patrick Nixon, The way he made it is he talked to CPL Nixon's dad and then he made it. Semper Fi enlisting into the Marines when im 17
this song always brings a tear to my eyes. During the years stationed in DC, my wife and I would go to Ft Myers commissary which is where the chapel is for and the back gate into Arlington. Many times the MPs would stop traffic for the horse-drawn caisson carrying one of our fallen. You can take the soldier out of the Army but you can't take the Army out of the soldier.
aIl i have is a very vague memory of Arlington when I was 5.. My Uncle Paul.. Marine leader of the Platoon that put up the flag over Ewo Jima.. my family went to Arlington to see his grave.. I remember that there was a funeral that day with a horse and carriage and I remember seeing the eternal flame.. But I have pride in my country and every man/woman that has served .. Thank you for your service.
Thank you recognizing our Veterans. I’m a 100% Disabled Veteran of Beirut. Beautiful song, I always love to hear it. Here’s another Veteran song for you to check out. “All Gave Some” by Billy Ray Cyrus. Tony
Best of luck to you. I'm a vet and every time I hear of a youth willingly, proudly, and patriotically joining in our family it makes my heart jump. Congrats on graduating and Thank You for your future service.
Saw an interview with Trace about this song. He asked a US Marine's father if he could put his son's picture in the video. He was the Marine in the Dress Blues. He is buried at Arlington. I have been there a few times and it something that will stick with you forever. I hate the fact that I have two friends buried there now. SCPO James Watson Plank owner of SEAL Team 2 and Eldridge Jackson 82 Airborne . They are the Good Stuff.
it was written as a trinute to the fallen soldier you see at the end of the video, Corporal Patrick Ray Nixon, it was written with permission from Corporal Nixon's parents
MRM, every single time I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes. And, one of the good things about Trace Adkins is that he's a huge supporter of the military and the USO. My husband served and retired from the United States Air Force just over 5 years ago. I was a proud Air Force wife for 17 of his 20 year journey. Songs like this always get me because I saw it firsthand. Heck, I cry every time I hear "The Star Spangled Banner".
When my husband came home from Vietnam he still had 9 months to serve in the Army. He was stationed at Fort Belvour Virginia which is right outside Washington DC. We would ride into DC on the weekends and look at all the beautiful buildings. Once we went to Arlington Cemetery. I will never forget the feeling of seeing rows and rows of those white headstones. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop!! So so sad! I think every US Citizen should visit that place. You feel the loss of life so deeply but you also never felt so much of being an American seeing all those who gave up their life for you!! 🇺🇸❤️😢🙏
If you haven't been to Arlington, you are missing out. I had the pleasure of doing a family trip to DC (on the way down to FT Bragg to visit my son). 5 generations of my family visited Arlington & the National Mall. It really is a MUST SEE!
I can't hear this song without losing it. My dear friend Sgt. Matthew Straughter was k.i.a on February 9,2008. I hugged him the day he left and hugged his widow and children when he came home covered in a flag. My father is an Army vet, my brother is a staff Sgt. currently serving in the Army with one deployment, my other brother is an Air force vet with five deployments and my son in law is a Marine vet. I can never thank our military enough for what they do...I've seen the sacrifices... God bless them all.
When I hear this song I think of my Grandpa. WW2 veteran. He received 2 Purple Hearts ( I have them now) and Bronze Star. He was shot in head in France. But lived. Then shot again of a tank. God fearing man. Lived be 89. Died on my birthday January 15 2016. My brother now has his folded flag. He was like a second dad to us ❤🇺🇸
Now I remember why I stopped listening to Country Music. Just sat here and balled my eyes out while eating breakfast! haha Love our vets and soldiers (including my hubby). My family is very pro-military and almost all our men and some women in our family make it pretty much a family tradition to join the military. To all those that have served and are serving. Whether it's 1 year or 30 years. Thank you so much for taking time out of your lives and your families lives to serve this great country. - Proud Military Wife, TAFB
You want a good music video about vets that will hit you in the feels? I highly recommend five finger death punch: wrong side of heaven... And gone away.. Very good songs and very powerful message..
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAS SERVERED OUR GREAT NATION !!! PAST , PRESENT AND FUTURE MEMBERS Y'ALL AWESOME AND WE LOVE YOU ... THANK U FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO
i had never heard this song before. but when i realized what the song was about and where i got a lump in my throat and a little teary. Thanks to everyone who puts their life on the line for our freedoms
Happy Birthday Marines💪 Semper Fi. Secondly thanks for all the reaction videos of such great songs. I have a request here for you Mr. Renaissance 😊 It's called Semper Fi by Trace Adkins. Decated to my 19yr. old son who is a Marine. Again thanks for the great music reviews.✌
The thing about having all artists do one song about the vets, is it waters down the message, and that would be especially so when artists aren't appreciative of what vets have done.
maybe just ask it of every artist that actually means it. I am all for free speech and that includes not saying it if you don't. And not listening to it if they don't...
Every 4th of July I travel to Arlington and visit 28 of the best battle buddies and the greatest son a father could have. I wish it had been me and not them.
Tracy Adkins is a Big Boy....... He was shot point blank by his mad wife!....lucky to be alive! .... Most people today have no idea whose home ARLINGTON was before it was a cemetery. ..... and, You're welcome and Thank you.
Baptism by Kenny Chesney and Randy Travis. And, oh my goodness! Who You'd Be Today by Kenny Chesney, the video. You won't regret it. I love your reaction videos!
Such a beautiful song 👏👏🎻🎼. Have you listened to Lee Greenwood's GOD BLESS THE USA? AWESOME SONG. THANK YOU VETERANS, and shout out to my son, niece, and cousin-in-law for your service 💒🙌
Nope, the building we see in the background is the Capital building. The White House is in the opposite direction. Wow. Powerful song! Patriotic songs always make me cry.
The first time i heard this song i was driving home from work. I had to pull over because of the tears. My friend's Dad, ( who is mine also), is buried in Arlington.

as the son of a Korean veteran ,also a Marine.Semper FI devil dog and always,thank you for your service
And thugs are out there burning our Flag that these men and women die for.
Democrats and terrorists don't care
Americans forget they don't fight or die for just what you can do but also for what you don't have to
If you have never been to this most sacred ground and have a chance to go, do so as it is a most humbling experience. The feeling you get when you actually walk amongst the rows of white crosses and witness the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is like nothing you have ever felt before.

I remember when this one came out. Years later I still cry every time
I do too
I do too.
AFTER 40 TRIPS...STILL GET CHILLS WALKIN TO MY GDAD PERMENANT POST
I was at Arlington years past,a scared place.And WOW ! They let him place the wreath at the Tomb Of the Unknowns,what and incredible honer.
Precious song. Amazing the songs for our military and veterans alive or dead.
another great song is *Letters From Home* by *John Michael Montgomery*
The little girl is a good one by him to one of my favorites
Definitely a good Veterans day tribute
Good One
That's a amazing song
Please react to Toby Keath Amarcan soldure.
This is the song that gives me goosebumps. In concert Trace always asks for silence and respect when he sings this beautiful song. Thanks for playing, you always do a great job, Judy.

A song by Allen Jackson, that is a tribute song for the Twin towers on 9/11, Where were you when the world stopped turning. It is one of the best.
Definitely a great reflection on that tragedy
Alan

Trace said do not cry for us. How can I not? Gave their life for my freedom,
"It is foolish to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."
- George S. Patton
My husband died in Iraq in 2009 and he always said if I die don’t cry for me I gave my life for you and I would do it again I go into this with the burden of sacrifice and gladly fight and die if that’s what I must do

You said "he did have such a great voice". Thankfully he still does! :) my friend went to a concert last weekend in Iowa!
Being a Vet myself, this is one song that really gets to me. Saw two friends buried in Arlington.
thank you for your service
God bless America and our precious veterans!
So many have given so much to us...this song is so precious to me as a PGR.
World, honor the soldiers that died in your name!
This song puts a knot in ya throat... Tears flowing... To all the soldiers ....Thank you for the sevices 😢😢😢

The opening notes to this song send shivers down my spine and they don't stop until the song ends. I love this song.

This is tear jerker for me. Have an Uncle buried there. This always hits home when I hear this.
When I hear this song I think of my Grandpa. WW2 veteran. He received 2 Purple Hearts ( I have them now) and Bronze Star. He was shot in head in France. But lived. Then shot again of a tank. God fearing man. Lived be 89. Died on my birthday January 15 2016. My brother now has his folded flag. He was like a second dad to us ❤🇺🇸
Now I remember why I stopped listening to Country Music. Just sat here and balled my eyes out while eating breakfast! haha Love our vets and soldiers (including my hubby). My family is very pro-military and almost all our men and some women in our family make it pretty much a family tradition to join the military. To all those that have served and are serving. Whether it's 1 year or 30 years. Thank you so much for taking time out of your lives and your families lives to serve this great country. - Proud Military Wife, TAFB
My father-in-law is laid to rest in Arlington. I’m so thankful for this song. Trace was referring to the White House in the song. Thank you, MRM.
That song always gives me shivers.
If you've never been to Arlington it's worth the time to visit. It's the most hauntingly beautiful place I've ever been to.
You want a good music video about vets that will hit you in the feels? I highly recommend five finger death punch: wrong side of heaven... And gone away.. Very good songs and very powerful message..
24 years Army. Thank you for doing these.
Trace Adkins- Till The Last Shots Fired with The West Point Glee Club, Live
Very much agree.
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAS SERVERED OUR GREAT NATION !!! PAST , PRESENT AND FUTURE MEMBERS Y'ALL AWESOME AND WE LOVE YOU ... THANK U FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO
thank you
If you want a song to the veterans you should listen to Toby Keith - Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue (The Angry American)
I like your idea about all artists doing a song honoring our vets. Personally I prefer to hear the ones like this that are 100% from the heart!
i had never heard this song before. but when i realized what the song was about and where i got a lump in my throat and a little teary. Thanks to everyone who puts their life on the line for our freedoms
thank you
GLORY TO THE BRAVE- HAMMERFALL
A great tribute to the fallen. Ex-airforce, and I'd love to have this played at my funeral.
thank you for your service
Happy Birthday Marines💪 Semper Fi. Secondly thanks for all the reaction videos of such great songs.
I have a request here for you Mr. Renaissance 😊 It's called Semper Fi by Trace Adkins. Decated to my 19yr. old son who is a Marine. Again thanks for the great music reviews.✌
The thing about having all artists do one song about the vets, is it waters down the message, and that would be especially so when artists aren't appreciative of what vets have done.
You're right. It won't feel ass passionate or have the same emptions
maybe just ask it of every artist that actually means it. I am all for free speech and that includes not saying it if you don't. And not listening to it if they don't...
Every 4th of July I travel to Arlington and visit 28 of the best battle buddies and the greatest son a father could have. I wish it had been me and not them.
Tracy Adkins is a Big Boy....... He was shot point blank by his mad wife!....lucky to be alive! .... Most people today have no idea whose home ARLINGTON was before it was a cemetery. ..... and, You're welcome and Thank you.
If i remember right, it was robert e lees home. Union soldiers buried their dead in the rose garden out of spite and protest to lee and the south
The land was confiscated by the yanks from Robert E. Lee
Ex-wife. And I am so glad he survived that ! He is a great singer.
@@TitanicTruths His wife's family home I think.What a huge cemetery and a sacred place too.
Robert E. Lee home. Buried union solders as close to home as possible. It has become a sacred place of honor for all our service dead.
Thank you! I grew up in the Army and this song tears me up every time. You should check out Trace Akins' Christmas album "The King's Gift".
Just subscribed. What an amazing song.
Thank you for the beautiful way you respected and reacted to this gem
Ongoing blessings 😊🌸
Trace Atkins takes our military veterans very seriously. He is the spokesman for the Wounded Warrior Project, and has been for many years.
Toby Keith... Red White and Blue is a great Patriot song!
Baptism by Kenny Chesney and Randy Travis. And, oh my goodness! Who You'd Be Today by Kenny Chesney, the video. You won't regret it. I love your reaction videos!
If You’re Reading This by Tim McGraw!
A beautiful song! It brings tears to my eyes to hear it!
This song always gave me chills. Thinking about the lost futures there.
Such a beautiful song 👏👏🎻🎼. Have you listened to Lee Greenwood's GOD BLESS THE USA? AWESOME SONG. THANK YOU VETERANS, and shout out to my son, niece, and cousin-in-law for your service 💒🙌
Trace Adkins song on the CMAs , Til the Last Shots Fired is a great song
If you haven't visited, Arlington will take your breath away. Respect to all who served/ serve ❤🇺🇸
Can never hear this one without bawling. Great pick.
(Somebody who would die for you by Tracy Lawrence)is a great veteran song.It definitely calms me down when I get road rage or angry.
As a army brat I love songs about our troops. I cry on most of them.
Trace also did "Till the Last Shot's Fired". Well worth a view.
Chills 😔 thank you too all that have served ❤
thank you
Trace did get shot in the heart, It was from his first wife. lol 💚
Southern Comfort by Buddy Jewel. Such a great song. I personally haven't heard it in years, but it just came to mind
True American Patriotic song, God Bless America.
You have such a warm heart! Judy.
Love watching Trace in western shows.

Other great songs with meanings by trace adkins are There's a girl in Texas, Every Light in the house, The Rest of Mine and I'm Tryin'
The song "I Believe" by Brooks and Dunn. They are country but this is a song that reaches everyone.
I love your videos.
Done it
Nope, the building we see in the background is the Capital building. The White House is in the opposite direction. Wow. Powerful song! Patriotic songs always make me cry.
