    I married my soldier 57 years ago and lost him 9 months ago. He served his 4 years in Vietman, but he was still a soldier the day he died. I just listened to Trace Adkins sing this song again. I'm still, and will always be, the wife of my soldier. My thanks every time I hear this song.

      I hope somebody told him welcome home out of every war we have fought they were the ones that did not receive praise they were spat on criticized and demonized I hope that somebody in his life told him welcome home I try and say that to every vet that comes my way because it doesn't matter if you fought world war 1 world war 2 Vietnam Desert Storm or any other major conflict that has happened I don't tell them thank you for your service no I tell them welcome home and I pray that anyone who has eyes says the same thing for it is not the battles they have fought in that makes it noteworthy but the blood tears and pain they have suffered to keep the rest of us from having to experience the hardships they have so to your soldier the next time you visit his grave tell him from me welcome home

    Great song. My son was a member of the 82nd Airborne, 1-505th PIR. Medically (honorably) discharged from injuries thanks to an IED. PTSD is also a problem, but he is a guide for the wounded veterans of Oklahoma by taking them hunting on weekends during waterfowl seasons. Our daughter-in-law sees that it helps him also. His issues with PTSD aren't close to what they used to be. God bless all of our troops.

We are so grateful for the daughter we gained the day she married our son in 2012. We live 500 miles apart, and it's easier for us to travel than it is for them with 3 kids. He will open up to his dad rather than me, but our daughter-in-law tells me things so that I know what he is going through also. We never judge, and he knows he can talk to us, at least he can his dad. Take care Jon!

    When my recruiter asked me why I wanted to enlist in the Army I think my answer surprised him. I said "this country has given me all I could ever ask. Good schools, a safe place to grow up, freedom. I think it's time I repaid some of that." My dad was with me and I heard him sniffle a bit. It took the sergeant a minute to respond and when he did he looked at my dad and said "I wish more of my recruits felt that way." Unfortunately an eye issue kept me from serving, something I have regretted ever since. It would have been an honor and a privilege to be able to wear my country's uniform.

      Just remember this quote: Fight because you love what's behind you, not because you hate what's in front of you (I know it didn't go exactly like it, but you get my point)
      My father is serving (dog trainer) in the DPR army, (east Ukraine, civil war) and so basically your enemy, but I know that he will respect you as much as he would respect an fellow soldier. It's not about wanting to kill curtain races or destroy curtain country's, it's about showing your loyalty to your country, to YOUR ideology and most of all, to what YOU believe is good.

      Unfortunately The majority of individuals seem unaware of and careless when it comes to investing, despite the fact that it should be the best thing a person can do for himself.

      I love the part especially with trace Adkins raspy voice even though he wrote if before Rich athletes without a case in terms world and more likely to be shot when. They visit their old neighborhoods of see from and family and one their own kind shoots them out of jealousy but if a police officer pulled them over which would most likely be in the state of the team they play for so even better odds they'd get a pass and asked for a picture and autograph. Because they get play sports for outrageous contracts and live lives only most Americans can dream of and the whole reason they get to is because of the flag that represents the same nation their so called protesting made upload statistics mors white then Latin men are shot daily by police usually for good reasons. But black men are killed daily or more likely to be by other black men. But these disgraceful athletes kneel for the Most un-racist or hateful song and we'll our national most important song that is about our for Father's and everyone who serves but people supporting these athletes call them hero's for being hateful but if they'd listen to the anthem they'd learn what @ hero is not someone who wears pads.and thing their warriors. The only warriors on the field are wearing the uniforms of our military wave or holding flags.

      Three tours in that nightmare country known as Afghanistan. Two of them in the Korengal Valley.
      There's days I wish I was back there.. just doing what we did best.
      75th Ranger regiment 3rd Battalion. We got it done and we got it done very very efficiently.
      But you know what they don't train you to do? They don't train him to deal with the crippling PTSD depression anxiety the nightmares the faces that you see sometimes when you close your eyes if you don't want to see. Just all of that they do not teach you or do a whole lot to get you better or keep tabs well enough to make sure that you're all right.
      Sometimes you know these things need to happen war is hell and sometimes it needs to happen but the 20 years in Afghanistan we should not have been there for 20 years we could have been there for like I don't know 10 would have been more than enough.
      you know those people have been invaded seven times throughout history? Yeah people wanted to change their way of life or they wanted to take everything from them. Those Afghan you people all of them are the Taliban isis just the locals there a very prideful people and we changed absolutely fucking nothing.
      Only now they have a trillion dollars worth of our military hardware. There's m1 Abrams rolling around with fucking Taliban flags flying high the isis flag flying high there's 10 year-old boys with M16 A3 rifles in their hand. Little girls don't even get to go to school. They're used for reproduction purposes starting at absurdly Young ages.... It's sickening.
      Women aren't allowed outside without their husbands. And when they do go outside complete coverage except the eyes now just like it used to be. It's awful over there. I mean it's their way of life but still...

      @drewjamison734 I am a 25U. Choose a 17 series MOS, though it will be something different. Go cyber, or intelligence, somewhere in that vein, so that you have back-ups and safety nets in case you don't like the military lifestyle. If you do, keep on trucking, but if you don't want to choose a safe option. Choose what speaks to you, and remember that you still have to follow the army doctrine for whatever you want to do. Look into TMs or technical manuals for things you might find useful and study. Study in school, if you don't score high enough on the ASVAB, you'll either have to settle for a crappy MOS, or, wait like 2 months to take it again, though I'm not sure of the actual time it would take.
      Good luck, little dude. When I was 10, I dreamed of joining the army, and I made it a reality. I did it out of necessity, though, which makes me mad because I wasn't set up for success and subsequently failed civilian side. I joined to gain housing and food, though I am staying because my unit is like a family I didn't know I needed. I hope you foster that love for your nation and serve, but make sure that when you leave the military, you've sharpened your knives, so to speak, so you succeed when you get out.
