I was in this video, as a Colonial Militia Man. It was great fun, and the director, Antoine Fuqua, chose those of us who had the most period correct clothing, and gear, to be nearest the camera locations. He wanted this film to be as authentic as possible, and it was a pleasure to work with him!
This video is getting me interested to join up so that’s what I’m gonna do and the job I picked for the National Guard is 11Bravo because I know i would hit a 31 on the ASVAB and so that’s what I picked
@@kahoaliiaiu7130 don't know if the 31 ASVAB score was sarcasm, but Grunts are some the most intelligent people you'll find. We're sometimes not the smartest though. Grunt life isn't anything like you see on TV, but there's nothing like it!!! Take care of your back, knees, and feet lol
I was Army Reserves, but this song played and still plays out to the mantra of being a citizen soldier. Most of all, this song is what got many folks like me from High School to enlist. You'll never see a riveting ad like this one.
Much honor and respect to our esteemed Citizen Soldiers. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for holding the line against the enemies our great nation. Thank you for standing on the wall keeping us safe, so we can rest easy. God bless you all.
Since 13 December 1636AD, The Citizen Soldiers of the National Guard have been ready, willing and able to serve and defend Community, City and Country. ALWAYS READY ALWAYS THERE!!🇺🇸🗽🦅🔫
Lyrics [Verse 1] Beyond the boundaries of your city's lights Stand the heroes waiting for your cries So many times you did not bring this on yourself When that moment finally comes I'll be there to help [Hook] On that day when you need Your brothers and sisters to care I'll be right here [Chorus] Citizen soldiers Holding the light for the ones that we guide From the dark of despair Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered We'll always be ready Because we will always be there [Verse 2] When there are people crying in the streets When they're starving for a meal to eat When they simply need a place to make their beds Right here underneath my wing You can rest your head [Hook] On that day when you need Your brothers and sisters to care I'll be right here [Chorus] Citizen soldiers Holding the light for the ones that we guide From the dark of despair Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered We'll always be ready Because we will always be there [Bridge] There... there... there... [Verse 3] Hope and pray that you'll never need me But rest assured I will not let you down I'll walk beside you but you may not see me The strongest among you may not wear a crown [Hook] On that day when you need Your brothers and sisters to care I'll be right here [Hook 2] On that day when you don't have the strength For the burden you bear I'll be right here [Chorus] Citizen soldiers Holding the light for the ones that we guide From the dark of despair Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered We'll always be ready Because we will always be there
This really speaks about us in the medical field as citizen soldiers especially in the year 2020 (last year) with many of my colleagues dying to save lives. It still pains me to see what had happened but at the same time gives me hope to keep going in the career path I chose. 🙏🏼
I remember seeing this music video in theaters. I wanted so badly to join the national guard afterwards. Unfortunately found out I have some medical 'issues' that my dad said I wouldn't be able to join. (He was retired guard)

This video is making me want to the Army National Guard so I’ll do it so I’m gonna do it and because it’s my turn to serve I fired the shot that started a Nation I stormed the beach on Normandy I am an expert and a professional I will always place the mission first I will never accept defeat I will never leave a fallen comrade I stepped forward when the towers fell
I cringe at the fact that I used to enjoy this song as a kid. Taking a close look at the impact that US has made on vulnerable pockets of the world since WW2 makes me hope for a more equitable and peaceful world. One day, we can hopefully see ourselves as citizens of the globe and not just a fragment of it. Enough with the zero sum patriotism. It’s for thick headed and unimaginative bullies.

@@kahoaliiaiu7130 enjoy the anxiety and knee & back pain. Grunt life ain't all it's cracked up to be.

NOW 13yrs later This is still hands down the best Recruitment song EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell its the best recruitment video in general, better than the garbage they have been trying to use in recent years.
I was Army Reserves, but this song played and still plays out to the mantra of being a citizen soldier. Most of all, this song is what got many folks like me from High School to enlist. You'll never see a riveting ad like this one.
I still remember how hyped I'd get whenever I'd go see a movie with my parents and this started playing in the theaters.
God bless all the brave men and women who protect our country in every branch of the military!
As WE appreciate YOU
Happy 385th Birthday Army National Guard!! Retired with 29 years total service between Navy, Army, and Army National Guard. Hoooah!!
Hooah!
The patriot running amongst the canon fire is always the most memorable part for me.
Working on 9 years of service safety this song came out.
ALWAYS READY ALWAYS THERE!! Hooah Army National Guard and Air National Guard!!🇺🇸🗽🦅🔫

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Beyond the boundaries of your city's lights
Stand the heroes waiting for your cries
So many times you did not bring this on yourself
When that moment finally comes
I'll be there to help
[Hook]
On that day when you need
Your brothers and sisters to care
I'll be right here
[Chorus]
Citizen soldiers
Holding the light for the ones that we guide
From the dark of despair
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered
We'll always be ready
Because we will always be there
[Verse 2]
When there are people crying in the streets
When they're starving for a meal to eat
When they simply need a place to make their beds
Right here underneath my wing
You can rest your head
[Hook]
On that day when you need
Your brothers and sisters to care
I'll be right here
[Chorus]
Citizen soldiers
Holding the light for the ones that we guide
From the dark of despair
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered
We'll always be ready
Because we will always be there
[Bridge]
There... there... there...
[Verse 3]
Hope and pray that you'll never need me
But rest assured I will not let you down
I'll walk beside you but you may not see me
The strongest among you may not wear a crown
[Hook]
On that day when you need
Your brothers and sisters to care
I'll be right here
[Hook 2]
On that day when you don't have the strength
For the burden you bear
I'll be right here
[Chorus]
Citizen soldiers
Holding the light for the ones that we guide
From the dark of despair
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered
We'll always be ready
Because we will always be there
"The strongest among you may not wear a crown"
I was in the national guards i luv this song...
Great job and thanks for serving. God Bless!
I remember seeing this in theaters when I was a kid. Pumped me up
Powerful!

I got an A in 5th grade for using this video as a project for Desert Storm...lmao

I created America through Time Travel. This is my nation. All of the guilty will be in prison by 2020.
This video is making me want to the Army National Guard so I’ll do it so I’m gonna do it and because it’s my turn to serve
I fired the shot that started a Nation
I stormed the beach on Normandy
I am an expert and a professional
I will always place the mission first
I will never accept defeat
I will never leave a fallen comrade
I stepped forward when the towers fell
The 155 was there
Why did you edit the video????
They probably got a super fat check to make a song that nobody listened to or joined because of
