Not sure if anyone still reads these comments but I have to say something. Rest in peace, Sir. To have the courage to sing this song, among the courage to be one of the best and brightest officers in the entire military is astounding. May you continue to rest in peace and may your family find continued strength in knowing someone as honorable as yourself.
I read them atleast. :)
Wonderful message.
I liked your comment. Tku.
May God continuously hold this beautiful family in his loving arms.Thank you for sharing this moment with the world.
Beautiful & precious & poignant message .❤️🙏🙏🙏😔
Your father was a hero... you dont need to see the medals on his uniform to understand that. You look at his heart... his eyes... he showed courage. Cancer is of the Devil and he is safe with the Father in heaven. I hope you realize this. God bless to your family. I will think on that man tonight. Truly inspiring.
+KSI Potomac Amen. AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN.
I have just seen someone die today.
As this song was drafted by a Confederate soldier, not a lot of people feel that way.
Nicholas Steiner im sorry but the song was indeed over a union soldier. Not saying similar songs could've be written for a southerner but it talks about a blue uniform
I agree
+John Asher Sometimes the truth can hurt😕unfortunately✌.
. "You can avoid reality, but you can't avoid the consequences of avoiding reality"

Few men can compare themselves to Lt. Col Weber or his son. Men with honor, love for G-D, family and country
❤ for God
He got the ultimate medal when he went home to the Lord
Amen
Praise the Lord!
Got his crown.
YES HE DID 🙏✝️
He sure did, may God be with his family while they wait to be with him again and will sing praises in Heaven unto the Lord. 🥺
R.I.P. LT. COL. MARK WEBER THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY THANK YOU REST IN PEACE.
Amen
Rest in peace. God bless you. I will be praying for your family and friends.
RIP THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND YOU WILL MEET AGAIN. YOU WILL BE GUARDING US FROM HEAVEN.

Eric Wales
Tim and Eric, You both missed the whole point.In my opinion, They had Angelic voices.
there is no explanation possible
idiots and cold calculated people, evil still lurks among us!
"tell him we will meet again", the moment my heart broke. Rest in peace, hero. ♥️
I just can't help but cry with the son. Cancer is such a weird disease.

Dammit...someone must have cut onions in here!!! A job well done Sir!
I startled crying during it but started crying worse at the end when they hugged and I saw his son crying. :(
Yep me too!
Yeah 😞🙏💔
Another brave soldier guarding the Halls of Heaven. God bless him and his family.
AMEN! ➕
Praise be to satan.
His family will always get to look back on this precious memory they made together. God Bless his family 🙏
So touching!
Thats where you wrong heaven is in no need of soldiers especially IDF, USA and British soldiers.
Read the book Tell My Sons by Col Weber. He was a true hero and not only because of his military service but the service he provided family, friends and his community
Selfless service for his country. Rest in peace.
Jason C AWSOME, VERY TOUCHING. GOD BLESS THIS FAMILY. REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER AND HERO. TRUMP 2Q2Q. WWG1WGA MAGA
Chencho Dude how dare you use their sorrow for a political statement. Especially when tRump is so mean to the military.
Rima are you that stupid to believe the 💩 the DemWits put out??? Trump loves our military & supports them completely you ignorant IDIOT!!! Why don’t you research first Stupid??!!! Probably because you are a DemWit!!!
@@rimasappington6217 Where have you been the last 4 years? Trump honors our service members with every breath.
"The dead are not dead until they are forgotten"
Good point
👍👍👍
Absolutely! My dad and his brother were both in Vietnam. Both my grandfathers in WWII. Their bravery never forgotten.
They will NEVER be forgotten!!! True HEROES!!! All military!
You are so right. Thank you for that comment.
I can'nt stop crying for this family and I pray for them.
WRKF0RAMMO3 me nether I can't spell
@@johnnyb6544 at a time like this it really does not matter be blessed!
I wonder how the family is doing and if the father did pass away 😭😭😭😭
WRKF0RAMMO3 I cry every morning. 😭😭😭😭 the world has a whole 😭
The courage of the father and his son to sing this, strong faith.
I can't even imagine having the courage to do this ever, much less with stage 4 cancer! What a gift, what a memory for his son, and his son's kids! Incredible and heartbreaking and heart warming at the same time, so bitter sweet!
The son says to his father with tears in his eyes you can hear the hurt in his voice that he is dying can hear him to say I LOVE YOU when I heard those words I began to cry Oh My God it's true love that of a child has for his dad.
Can't stop my tears so emotional. RIP SIR you are a hero and heroes go to heaven.God bless your love ones
@@noracanon2253 yea uh the main comment is so over dramatic
@@x91s55 x91 s, people want to pay their respects in the comments but your comment seems disrespectful and dull.
@@mtracy244 well because it's so over dramatic.
I agree Roger, you can hear and see the emotion in the son, and the dad, but you can really see how upset the son is ....it would have been so difficult to sing that song together....as for the the comments from other people, I will just say that there are so many cold hearted, people who don’t have an ounce of compassion or empathy in their souls they don’t understand and never will......sad for these heartless people they obviously have very sad lives
To the Son, and other family members of Lt. Col. Weber.
This grately touched my heart. I pray that "The Comforter" (The Holy Spirit), is holding your family together, day and night. In all you endure, turn to Jesus!
I wish to personally say; "Thank You" for the sacrifices your Dad made for our nation.
In Christ,

What a tribute to your father and something that you with you for the rest of your.life.. What a very proud father and son.
Colonel G.H. Clark, USA (ret)
There goes a very GOOD man, his legacy is his wonderful family. RIP SIR!
So sad..
A lovely gesture by father and son
Not sad at all. To Know in your heart that in a season they will be together again. Thank you Jesus! ❤
Gum B sad temporary but it will be transformed into joy forever at the feet of Jesus!🙏✝️
The most touching thing I've seen. RIP SOLDIER THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Thankyou
Beautiful!
Rest easy sir one day we will stand guard together in the kingdom of heaven
Ranger 47 you're a stolen valor. What unit are you in and what's your mos, and who is you're drill sergeant
Joe Noguera WHAT'S YOUR problem IS it in his comment
What you said just brought me to tears. And I haven’t even heard the song yet
Thank you gentlemen for your service on this earth & one day in heaven..
What Unit are you in, who is your Drill Sargent?, maybe you meant First Sargent but regardless you have shown a total ignorance of the Miletary
What a beautiful, loving family. Who wouldn't be proud of that father and that son.
Tears rolling down my face for the loss of Lt. Col. Mark Weber and for his family. May he rest in peace.
May he Rest in Eternal Peace love from a Englishman ,so sad but at least his son has an amazing memory you can't buy so so sad 😢😢😢
My da was a combat infantryman in WW2. Viet Nam saw me in scrubs and boots, as a really young nurse decades later. I lost my Da to Lymph cancer in 2005. Not a day goes by I don't think of him and hope I made him proud. I am now retired, but forever I will strive to be a faithful servant of the United States. Those who have served, those will are now and those who will serve can carry the mission forward. RIP Lt. Col. Weber. You have raised a fine young man. Blessings and truly, thank you for your service and sacrifice.
I am 47 with grown children of my own and as i write this like most i have read on this page i have tears rolling down my face and am not ashamed, the love that this father and son have for each other i know will cross the veil that has been brought onto Marks face. God Bless
Man. This is the most beautiful thing I think I've ever seen. I'm crying so hard.
May the Lord welcome him home with great rejoicing! I want all soldiers men and women to know your loved by total strangers! We pray for your safe return home always!
Every time the father closed his eyes my heart sank
Jen_Playz_Minecraft mine did too
Can only imagine what’s going through his head!
so sad how they broke up at the same time and how you can see what a big man he once was with his uniform so large on him-RIP and thank you
Yes.
There are so many heroes among us. I just pushed my manual wheel chair in a 5 Km Army "run" to support our heroes. I am proud to do this. My time? 44 minutes. Not bad for a paraplegic with stage 4 Hepatitis. My father I swear ran along beside me.
God bless you!
and you as well. Thank-you.
*****
You should be very proud mom. You raised your boys well. Please thank them for their service from one military family to another. I'll be keeping you and your boys in my prayers. God Bless.
I thank you for your run. My grandfather fought in Vietnam and almost died for our country, same with my uncles. Thank you.
SkytheSecretNinja
Your grandfather and uncles are heroes. They are the reason I race...to support the "soldiering on" program. Every kilometer I go, I do it for them. God bless.
This is so touching! I lost my dad to cancer in 07, he served in the Air Force during the Korean and Vietnam wars. R.I.P sir❤
God bless this man and his family how brave he has been and the sacrifices he has made. This was beautiful! 😥♥️🇱🇷🇱🇷
i can't stop my tears drops ( Crying like baby ) ..... cose i miss my father, my father died when I was 12 years old....
To John n. : Do you know William Boyd or Bill Boyd who was a wonderful actor many yrs ago now, was 12 yrs old when his father died. His father lost his life as a hero trying to save other men in a coal mine accident. He later in the movies, he made, became Hopalong Cassidy who was the hero of those stories in film. He bought the rights to the charactor name for himself and so he became "Hoppy"., And rode his horse Topper in parades long after the movies were made. He loved his father and missed him so much he became the hero his father had been. ❤️
@@laurenetemple-link5660 a heartening story, tku.
it's wonderful to see a father and son who love each other and embrace- The son has tears in his eyes and doesn't want to let go of his father, but realizes he must-
This is a memory his family will remember for a lifetime. It’s heartbreaking knowing that this wonderful person died in 2013.
As a Former Soldier, Im not only Humbled, but Blessed to have witnessed this. Rest in Peace, Sir.
The boys in my grade's choir sang this song. I knew this was the same one as soon as I saw the title. At some point when we were singing or practicing I definitely teared up, but seeing it being performed in these unfortunate times makes me ten times as emotional. May your father Rest In Peace.
Oh, this broke my heart. 💔 God Bless Them. Beautiful song, beautifully sung. Rest Easy, Sir and Thank you for all that you sacrificed for us. Fly High. Condolences and appreciation to his son and family. 💔
Even after so many years that this happened...I salute you for your service. RIP in the arms of our Heavenly FATHER!
You stand guard sir like so many others in Heaven..
R.I.P
That was the saddest moment of my life. And I wasn't even there.
Miniarts me too
My 4-5 times great Grandfather was in the Civil War...I remember my Grandfather singing this song ,R.I.P. SIR ,my family thanks you for your service to America...God bless and forever protect you and your family,
A brave and courageous man until he finally passed away leaving his beautiful family with memories both bad and good.
May god bless your family and keep them safe and you be safe in the hands of god.
Best wishes from London England
Ben Perniha
Thank you.
Totally agree.❤❤❤❤❤
The family shares unfathomable courage initiated by this wonderful strong man. I hope the family is doing fine, moving forward as their Dad taught them
Truly an inspiration. Bless you and the family. I saw Lt. Col Weber passed away in 2013. Rest in peace and thank you for your service.
with tears streaming down my face I type this
😭
some people watching must have accidentally pressed the wrong button.
That is strength and courage on the son’s part to be able to do that with his Dad under those circumstances. The most bravest of sons.
Can someone, ANYONE explain to me why there would be thumbs down on this video... how does a soul become so hateful. Wow!!
Some very evil people in the world. It's a sad thing. :(
They are dead inside. No worries. Enjoy this beautiful song.....and all that it means & symbolizes. ❤
All I can figure.,. if it's not the evil people option... is because there is no sad face option... Or it hits too close to home? Seems minimizing anyway too just give a thumb, when something like this is quite robust with feeling. But if course I'm also a Veteran, but even if it were just a regular father and son... It would still move me.
No appreciation of the service provided by that brave hero to give them a good life in this country! All cruel, heartless Ame. should live in China!
I haven't seen any thumbs down.
Everyone is giving thumbs up for the beautiful song & life of the military man & his family. 🙏💟
I pray he was surrounded by his loved ones when God's Angels took him home. God needs leaders in Heaven and on Earth. God Blem them all.
@bearpapie69 I get comfort from God. You sound like a very unhappy person. That's sad.
@bearpapie69 you atheists just can't stand that believers have something you do not...your nastiness is just so obvious...keep your hate to yourself....its really ugly....you must be too! I'm going to pray for you....like that or not!
@@celiagorleski2716 very sad.....its jot enough they are heathen...they can't stand that we believe.....thats just too bad!
The good thing to come out of such a sad time is his son when he has children will show them what a brave man their grandfather was and how he sang so well RIP
God bless you all, and thank you so,so much for your service for our freedom. You make me so proud to be an American. God bless America!
I SALUTE YOU! I AM CRYING LIKE A BABY! RESPECT! :(
I lost it at the hug.
Life is so precious dont waste it and stay positive .
Although this is now 8 yrs old I’m sure the love for this soldier lives on in his family.
What a heartbreaking and beautiful video to watch.
Thank you for your service Lt Col Mark Weber....May you Rest In Eternal Peace🙏🏻
R.I.P. Sir thank you for your service. So sad you were dying there. Beautiful that you & your loving son had the strength to sing that touching heart renching song! God bless your whole family. Until you meet again! 😇😭😞😔❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. This is why God gave us fathers..to teach the children who walk in his footsteps . May God bless all of you, what a blessing.
@@antoniakoreiba6704 yes, Fathers with the integrity to be G-D fearing are a vanishing breed, He has given the most cherished blessing on his family they could ever have.
Two brave men. Rest in peace Sir, you have left your son with a loving memory. God bless.

i am so sorry they your dad passed of away with gastrointestinal cancer
I hope the Pettified People in Our Nation see this,thank You Sir,for everything You have given to all of Us!!! You are Loved!!!
Oh my God! I lost it when that boy hugged his father and began to cry... So sad.
Tell my father, I cried like a baby. So sorry. Very sad.
Mary Soto ur a horrible person what if ur father died if cancer
Johnny B what's wrong with her comment she said so sorry very sad
As a father of three wonderful children and three wonderful grandchildren, and a Marine-Recon (1969-1975), I found this quite moving and inspiring. May God bless us all with such a great testimony of faith.
That must have been incredibly difficult, he's dead now, but his son will never forget what they shared. Touches the soul.
How very precious...the song was beautifully done by two very strong men. What respect for each other they have.
Not only to prepare oneself but the burden of preparing ones family for the inevitable is the hardest battle. Your service sir is appreciated as is your demonstration of the courage you had to help them.. I am humbled. Thank you RIP Warrior. Well Done.
So very true, i went through what your talking about, my brother Bruce never could accept he was dying of his camcer, but he did get to say to my rebellious daughter "i hope to see you there over the jordan river." Which was one of the songs he had sung in chrurch. My daughter is still away from the Lord, ill write it for her to not forget.
Touching cause I have lost my father too
Chandra Hollison hi
What a story they just told. Thankyou. A true soldier for God.
I bet that's the hardest song for this young man to sing shows how great is his love for his dad bless him xx
Who dared dislike this!!!!
Guess there's ignorance
Beautiful song RIP Lt. Col. Weber..... I cried throughout the song. Cancer killed my MOM
May 29, 2020. Being able to sing with (The Col.) your dad is priceless. Thank You For Your Service To The Late Great Lt. Col. Weber
What a BEAUTIFUL family. What a honor to see these stories-songsI pray that the family is doing well. I would love to contact themto let them know GOD is with them.
I come back to this video, often...very moving. His son should hold his head high. Praying for this family.
This is so sad. My chorus sang this song and we had an amazing soloist and a violin accompanist.
SO EMOTIONAL, TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY EYES... GOD BLESS
How they were able to get through that without crying until it was over, is amazing. So poignant.
God was missing an ANGEL and he was just his size. God bless this family. Memories last forever.
R.I.P GOD BLESS YOU
41 way too young,god bless the family
Courage is a virtue, it means we overcome our fear and push through hardship and fear of death.
Oh my Lord, that was Beautiful and Heart Breaking. May God Bless all of you.
Both my father and brother died from cancer in the same month, you are so bless to have a memory with your father whereas you can actually see him on video. May God bless you and your family. THWC,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,The Hell With Cancer

Hristo Danchev
So heartbreaking. I hope it's going well with the boy and the rest of his family after the loss!!
Rest in peace, soldier. Thx for your service. God is waiting for you at the gate of Heaven.
soul is precious than anything in world loveone another not wait. until it is to late
It's 2021 and I'm just seeing this and crying. Thank you for your service Sir. RIP.
From a U S Army Retired (1982 - 2005) Iraq War Veteran myself, to Lt Col Mark Weber's family, may he Rest In Power, as I say "Thank You Sir" for his service to our country. I see this is an old video, however, a Veteran's story will NEVER grow old. My deepest sympathy. You are NEVER FORGOTTEN. I pray this family heals in strength and numbers as the family will continue to grow in his legacy and honor. Peace & Blessings 💯🙏🏾
That was so beautiful what a blessing to have this memory and that promise that we will see him again when we stand before our God!!!!
R.I.P. Sir! Thank you for your service to protect us!
I cant stop crying because I miss my Father who died many years ago...But still the memory of him is still fresh with me until now...Thanks for the wonderful song....And for the beautiful renditon of the Weber's...Good Luck to you...
Lawrence Pineda There's always light at the end of the road. Hang in there. :)
Yeah thanks but cant hold my tears when I watch this video over and over again...really miss my Father...
Lawrence Pineda We're all here for ya!
Thanks so much guys!
Lawrence Pineda no thank you for share this hard moment
Omg this is amazing video, and a as a ex serving fellow soldier myself, I want to say R.I.P brother in arms.
Crying when they hugged. Can’t imagine the pain from the father and the son knowing they will not see each other again in this life. But they will meet in the next. Another brave soldier who fought for this country. Thank you for your service. Heartbreaking.😔
Such an amazing moment to remember. I'm sure he's already made his father proud!
so very sad...R.I.P God bless your family
A very heartfelt song , Father and Son , Beautiful 👍🏻🙏🏼🕊😇♥️🇺🇸🕊🙏🏼👍🏻God Bless You all.
Absolutely outstanding 🙌🏻🦋💜 What an amazingly strong dad & son!! Much love admiration & gratefulness from Kentucky 🙌🏻🦋💜🐎
very touching moment. thank God for the "Blessed Hope" when there'll be no more pain or death or crying no more separation. When Jesus comes for the faithful. Come Lord Jesus.
It blows my mind how in this day and age, people go out of their way to insult and flaunt their disrespect for others. Especially to someone, like the lady above, who is only being loving and trying to offer sympathy and comfort. Believe or disbelieve whatever you want. But let others do the same. Live and let live. Thank you.
Feeling warmth by reassuring words and promise ...,when lord comes yea we could see him too....Let gods warmth surrounds the family ..
How amazing brought tears to my eyes! Stay Strong God BLESS
Such beautiful voices singing a beautiful song may be Rest In Peace God bless his son
I have just found this again by chance, and still want to cry,Father and Son so brave. I will never forget this beautiful video.❤❤😢😢❤❤
