A very beautiful rendition mate!

True. I had a suspicion you'd like it lol!

[@unclesam5230]

@@patrioticarchiveii9986 of course you suspected right

[@johnbest4513]

Good one to whistle this.

[@patrioticarchiveii9986]

True. The melody gives me goosebumps every time.

[@switzerlandful]

Hauntingly beautiful. Feels like a memory or a dream.

[@switzerlandful]

Sometimes I feel a ray of light in a dream that feels as beautiful as this. But it seems very rare. Life is dark and sad.

hey ,a echi

That light is from somewhere else. We can only try to bring a little into the waking world.

im a philipino but damn mate im obsessed with this song😭

[@broireallyjustcameherewith8318]

I remember hearing a version of this for children when i was in preschool. It's really cool to hear it again

[@thatcrusader3922]

pretty sure its The Ants go Marching

[@leitnerpiper69]

i am staunchly anti military and anti government but i have great honor and respect for the many troops who died in battle and for the family members of those who lost their lives.

[@ForkLefts]

Be anti war, not anti military.

[@Guilherme-ps3tw]

Good taste for the photos, well chosen

[@uipo1122]

awesome! I never heard this one, it sounds so great.

[@Broskisunited]

I agree it sounds better than the original, the lyrics have been changed a bit which sounds amazing, and so is the theme

[@catycat28meow]

Are these pictures from World War I or WWII?

[@patrioticarchiveii9986]

Ww2 mate

[@sachivrasulpuriya3110]

I dont know why it feels like a Christmas carol where santa is coming up to pick up corpse and give it as gift to the family members. I don't know thie is angelic yet eerie.

[@proffesorbennu]

Beautiful!

[@mudman5229]

Isn't the old version use gay (happy) and not glad?

[@patrioticarchiveii9986]

I don't blame them changing it tbh

[@heavynoose7761]

@@patrioticarchiveii9986 dumb change, useless historical modification

[@devinlastnamenotneeded8521]

@@heavynoose7761 its a folk song, modification is like how it works. I do have to agree its unnecessary but I'd rather people understand the original meaning

[@Broskisunited]

The old version did use gay, the modern definition of gay would make the entire thing ENTIRELY different. What you think people today would think if they heard "And we will all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home" ("We" as in Soldiers AKA Men during that time period).

I love my country USA, we have our downsides, but our upsides are treasures to behold

[@tailsprowerfan2729]

This one sounds way more grim that’s for sure

[@Strapelka70]

звучит очень хорошо, слышен американский патриотизм
