- As the Sixties drew to a close, many popular bands of the time saw the need to evolve and change ... but few made it! Notable exceptions were The Beegees and The Hollies. When this release entered the UK charts in October 1969, it marked a radical new style for them. Elton John is the piano player on this one ....

Imagine there is a war and nobody joins...
There would be no war!
Sorry mate 👍
Definitely, our clan ain't gonna go. Cuz it's just brother killing brother no matter how y'all look at it.
@@Hundert1 Perhaps they were once brothers but no more. There's no going back.
@@mannypacquiao7 Don't be negative 😉
I am a former Marine, I did two tours in Vietnam. 5 of us joined together to avoid the draft. Now, I am the last one living. I lost my last brother recently. This song brings back many memories.
Aren’t they a bit young to have all passed away?
@@beboppalooka9897Buds most Vietnam veterans are 75 or older, were you serious or just acting stupid
I'm heartful sorry 😔 stay Strong and GOD bless you 🙏🏾🙏🏽❤️
@@Cobra68692 yeah that’s young for all of them to die. 75 is at most the average age, many of them aren’t even 70. Do you know tons of 70 year olds dying, or are you stupid?
To those who served and to those who we lost ❤ God Blessing for what you endured for our sake 🙏 💖
I pray my sons will come together in Christ
Praying for you 🙏🙏🙏💯
My brother is a veteran. Im listening to this with tears for him and all who gave the most selfless act of their life to protect our great country. God Bless You All 🇺🇸
God bless you but honestly who came to your country to kill you? To date no one 😢
God bless them.❤️
❤️❤️👉👉❤️❤️👉❤️❤️
God bless you .God bless america.and all of us who remember what them and what memorial day is REALLY All About. 🇺🇸
I am 80 yes old lived with that war as a young person. Don't ever forget these men and women!!!!
Respect
I was 6 in 69. I remember the footage on tv. I wont forget. I'm 60 now.
I sure wish the world would realize we're all brothers and sisters.
A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL THE SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN ON THIS PAGE!
KNOW THIS, THAT GOD SEES YOUR SACRIFICE AND WE THE PEOPLE SEE IT TOO!
MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS WITH A CROWN OF JEWELS WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN, IT'S SOONER THAN YOU THINK...JESUS IS COMING SOON!

I am Vietnam Veteran and this song means a lot to me and tears rolling down my cheeks whenever I hear or played it on my guitar. I also remember my uncles who all survived the Bataan Death March carrying and helping each other, the sick and the wounded for hundreds of miles without medicine, food and water.
In memory also to my fellow Vietnam Veterans living and dead. Thank you to all who have served this Great Nation of ours and those who are still serving.
God Bless The USA.🇺🇸
With you brother, it has been a long road. To this day, I can't believe I made it home. United States Army Veteran with you no matter what, where, and when.
Sir,Thank You For Your Service. Salute To You and To All Veterans Around World. Ever time I hear this song I remember my Dad He was Member Of Philippine Army . I missed you Dad!😢❤️
and Most of my family are members of Armed Forces of The Philippines and most people called us”Military Family”, That’s why my heart goes to all veterans, because they served their countries to bring peace🫡🫡🫡❤️❤️❤️
God bless you sir for serving in Vietnam you are a loyal man to America 🇺🇸 a true american thank you for appreciation to our British band the hollies and iam going to send your message to Alan Clarke of the hollies iam sure he will appreciate you God bless you with love from great Britain. Xxxxxx
Thank you for your service. Prayers for you 🙏. Freedom. Is NOT free. 😅
Thank you for your Service to Our Country. So Much Respect for you🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸my Big Only Brother served at age 19 from 1969 till 1973 🙏 my Bro is Awesome. But it took a hard toll on him and ALL OF US WHO LOVE HIM✌🙏❤💔
I so wanted to join the Army but my Dad was murdered and my mom needed help so I quit School. My brother in law came home at the end of the war and had been shot 9 times.
GOD BLESS OUR SOLDIERS😢❤
My husband is in Israel and I miss him very much.He is fighting for our country.God bless the men and women who never returned and the ones who are still fighting for our country
Hope he comes home soon🙏🏾🙏🏿🙏🏽❤️
My brother is named after a man that none of us have ever met. My father named my brother after a fellow Marine friend of his who lost his life in Vietnam. He fought beside my father and we are grateful for their service.
Rich man's war and a poor man's fight. When rich people fight wars with one another, poor people are the ones to die.
I am a four time War Veteran. Nam, Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, Global War On Terrorism. Served 30 years in the
U S Navy and U S Air Force.
This song brings back both both good times and bad. I have to agree that It is a tear jerker. This song was recorded and released in 1969 and to this day 😢it brings a tear to my eyes of so many memories. God Bless Our Troops and God Bless America. 🇺🇸
if you were in nam and iraq, you went a little over 30 right?
Wow no fooling I d love to hang with you landed in Canada carla ❤❤❤❤u gotta be ⭐⭐⭐and tired lol
Thank you for your service, Sir. God bless America. Many family members served.
Ralph
I want to thank you for a lifetime of dedication for our country.
This song makes me cry, but has so much meaning. At 76 yrs old, the Viet Nam war will forever be etched in my mind. Friends that didn’t make it & ones that did, but suffered mentally & physically. Only a few remain.
Thanks so much for serving.
Thank you❤ 69 I was 19
I did what the picture shows back in 68. The Marine lived and I never saw him again until 37 years later. What a reunion. He never really knew what happened that day as he was in bad shape. I went out and got him and another Marine Fred Kneely took over and kept him alive until the dust off came.Doyle Carr. He is something special to me but I only knew him for 3 days back then. We stay friends yet today.
My younger brother Mike died in my arms of massive heart attack…miss you Mike, this has always been for us❤️😢
This song reminds my of my husband who, for his whole life, had taken care of his little brother who is very disabled. His brother can do very little for himself. Out of 6 children, my husband is the only one that has stayed behind to take care of his brother full time. Makes me love my husband even more!
If a husband can take care of another, he will never abandon you come what may ... 🙏💕
I like your handle eat meat and I love u all for the compassion strength and humanity... We can all use a lot more off💕🙏
Very powerful! I'm 65 and a vet. I'm swimming 15 miles in 6 days for the Wounded Warriors project. I start my swim at 6 in the AM with this song in my heart! My brothers and sisters and their families need our help and I'm proud to help them and our country! God Bless everyone
I'm a Vietnam vet and getting old. *I have COPD and I get winded just thinking of your swim but thank you so much.
Thank you for your service young man! God Bless you and all who served! God Bless you and your family Soldier! I've never served in the military but I've been in wars! I have a question for you, Do all the proceeds who donate to wounded warriors project go to all who are in need, because they advertise with celebrities and commercials that have to be paid for, so I'm just wondering if most of the money donated by the people who care, are their funds being used for the betterment of those impacted by War and not to profit off the poor people giving their money away?
Great song
In so many ways, thank you! My youngest daughter and son in law are F16 Crew Chief's. AF. I'm your same age. I was home watching the body counts. No cartoons. ALWAYS know in my heart and mind, heroes are real! Thank you for stepping up to the plate. I'd rather not hear political propaganda. That wasn't our war. God bless you, your loved one's and all of your comrades, my hero's.!
Thank you, Monte, and especially for swimming for your brothers. Wounded Warriors is one of the few charities I'll always support, that, and ASPCA! Both need our help so badly and we're happy to help! There are some charities who spend all their money with sad ads on TV, constantly, but they don't get my money, I'm not paying board members, but I will help our wounded warriors and the many lost animals who need our help.
I am canadien. I was a US military wife for 18 years. My brother , cousins, and oncle served in the canadien military. Now my son is serving. I hope that i Will Never have To play that song for him. God bless all vétérans and active military and those missing. I have huge respect for all of you. Thank you.
This song isnt for you, being a wife means nothing you dont get to have the same reverence and respect just because you married someone who served,
@@MARIUS2776well said
Wats u with Canadian men that think it is ok to lie and say they were USMC during nam.???
@@carlawestlund4429 Why wouldn't they just say they were with the Royal Canadian Marines? I worked with them when I was in the USMC...they are good guys, so are the Brits and the Aussies...worked with them all in beachhead Zodiac assaults to and from stern gates...
@@allhopeabandon7831 I have no idea. I have run into so many guys who pretend to be Canadian vets as well . Then as time passed find out they weren't shame on you all
My father passed on day after Easter. He was 80, and was in marines. My father never said a bad thing about anyone. He was a fantastic father who helped me many times. I love you dad.
I'm very sorry.
Semper Fi to your father’s memory. From a seventy year old Marine.
He was a man God blesses his soul 🙏
So sorry for your loss, blessed to have had him. Best to you. Peace & Comfort!
Stand proud
I’m a Vietnam veteran who lost both legs and every time I hear this song I get a heavy punch to my stomach and tears flowing from my eyes remembering everything but one thing I can tell you I wish I could go back again
Thank you sir for your service👍
✌️🇺🇸 Thank you...So very much Sir for serving our Great Country.🇺🇸 Love and Peace to you and to all of Our Brave Vietnam Veterans always....Never to Be Forgotten....🥰xo
Thank you for you’re Service 🇺🇸
Welcome home brother...sorry our home is in deep shit!...They could keep all their stimulas money and bs...would better see you with your legs...stay strong stay focused...big hug to you...
Billy I was thinking about you today want to wish you happy holidays....hope you have family and friends to share with....
My mother told me a story about this song. A man saw a boy carrying a larger boy.the man asked if he was too small to carry him. The boy said, "He ain't heavy Mister, he's my brother." Thank you, mom, that was a beautiful story.
The old Boys Town statue is of a kid carrying his brother and that is the title. “He ain’t heavy mister, he’s my brother.” It is a boy’s home in Nebraska founded by Fr. Edward Flannagan. It was founded in 1917.
I JUST told my mum the same story!
The boys were orphans and the one being carried had polio and couldnt walk. So they carried him around with them, stemming the question.
The song is about a american solder saw a little Vietnamese boys who carry hos brother, and the asked him isnt he heavy, the little boys answer ‘’he aint heavy hos My brother’’
@@justifiedrampagethere was an orphanage for the children whose parents they lost during war. This child was caring his brother up the steep hill. The priest ask “do you need help so . The child said “ no father he ain’t heavy he’s my brother “❤😢
Another beautiful song from the 1960s. Can you imagine a song like this being written today?
I dream of music like this.
I'm 27 years old and I only get to experience bad music. It's either about drugs, sex, or alcohol. No emotions in music anymore.
@@TennManYTBecause society has abandoned the God of their fathers, thus morality collapses aswell. Not saying you have to be a Christian, but secular society has it’s problems
Don't let that get in the Way of how you feel.becas nobody knows how you feel
@@TennManYT The old songs are there forever. Consider them buried treasures. All you have to do is dig them up.
Blowin In The Wind is another great Anti-War song from that period by Peter, Paul and Mary. ruclips.net/video/1Hhi0i0UDS0/видео.html
Today songs are just speaking words w/o tunes
I am 78 2 tours in Vietnam 1 on a river boat, This song never gets old and no matter how long it's been it's never very far from me like the rest of us who has served there and any where else where where you are put in harms way.
I'm a Vietnam vet (USMC) and this song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. It reminds me of times long ago when men were men and girls were girls. No greater gift can any man give than to lay down his life for his brother. Rusty in eastern Tennessee
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
Semper Fi My Brother!!!
Salute to you, thank you sir.
Amen
Amen
This song was a hit in 1969 when my mother was dying of cancer. It brings it all back, but I love it!!
I am a Vietnamese woman
I had heard this song more than half a century ago
I did not know the war cause I lived in Saigon
But this song is bringing tears to my eyes too

My dad,who is in poor health is 84 years old and US Army retired. Two tours Korea and one tour in Vietnam. No matter how we feel about both wars, US soldiers stood up to serve America. Never forget their sacrifice. They didn't come home to parades and discounts from stores being a veteran.
🙏🙏🙏👍
My Aunt went into the Army Nursing Corp. At age 22 !!! Her first Assignment was at the bottom of Porkchop Hill......she finished her time in KOREA when the "Police Action" ended ! She then ran hospitals in France & Germany until the VIETNAM WAR !!! She served in VIETNAM Nursing for One last year !!! My Aunt came home with the High Rank of a FULL COLONEL !!! SHE had Many award & medals; including the Bronze Star !!!
She continued to run hospitals stateside; including one in TEXAS and one in FORT MONMOUTH, NJ . MY AUNT, COL. BARBARA V. NALLY RETIRED FROM FORT MONMOUTH NJ WITH HONORS.
When she passed away it was with FULL HONORS and a TWENTY-ONE GUN SALUTE !!!

And our soldiers of the past didn't want to wear dresses. God bless our REAL men.
I just got the call that my little brother died of stomach cancer an hour ago. This is my new favorite song. I raise my whisky glass to you, Michael.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Bless you, your brother and all those left to remember him.

So very sorry for everyone who lost loved ones
It's hard to "like" your comment, but I wish comfort for you, and joy in your memories of Michael.

I just lost my son and I cared for him from birth to laying him to rest in the ground. I never gave up my child.. He had a big heart to match..
My dad was in ww2. He made it home. The true hero he was ..He died 2007.
Dad was in ww2. Came home with a chest full of medals and a monkey on his back that he never recovered from. Passed at 68. It was not a happy childhood. I’m 75 now and realized that all the post war hardship we encountered were in vain.

This song came out the year my husband was in Vietnam. It's our song. I cry now when I hear it. My Marine husband died 1and a half years ago from Agent Orange. He went thru 22 years of cancers. He is my hero and I will love him forever. He ain't heavy he's my brother.
He's good dear waiting for you

Marina, I hear and feel for you. My husband was in the Air Force. They never were heavy. Always remembered. He died of cancer because at the time there were no safety regulations for Air Craft Mechanics crawling into places without safety gear.

Well l said friend alot! Gorgeous song. I had better hang it up. I love the 🇺🇸
Thank you British guys great tunes!
I Renember my late husband , who was a vietnam veteran, when i hear this. May each one who has served past and present be blessed.
I am not a veteran but my Dad was in World War 2 in Germany and my brother was in Vietnam I am very proud of the both of them. For 28 years I worked at the Veteran Home of California in Yountville California. I want to say to all Veterans Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your great service , in honour of upholding your Nation's values
I am also an army veteran , from India
I lost my eldest son , a captain, fighting against militants , in a firefight
I share your desire to be back in action
GOD BLESS YOU
Sadly, this “brotherhood “ in the US, is now long gone. Politics has split us, let’s pray music like this can unite us once again. We need to help each other up when we fall down.
Peter ha ha ha yall aint never been brother to blacks. You aught to be ashame of your self
@@mechcurry6732 you have no idea what your talking about. In the military we were all green. All my brothers were green. It didn’t matter what their skin color was, they were green. That was 1974 for me and, unless you’re an asshole you’re my brother.
Thank you for the comment yep politics ruined this place. Bye to the good times.
You call it politics. I call it morality.
Vietnam Nam. 69 thru 71 ,yes we wore OD green, and yes, we were all brothers. I was 19 when I was sent to Nam and 21 when I returned. Back to the World that didn’t want us...."... We were brothers........ I wonder at times why I made it back to the world and a lot of my brothers didn’t, alive? This song brings back a lot of tears every time I hear it. Some day, I will have the courage to go to the Wall and look up the names that I can still remember as my memory is fading faster than I want it to. We were all brothers.............sadly for this country that is falling apart and can’t talk to each other or express an opinion with out being censored or thrown out of Twitter or Facebook.......sad world this has become and a lot of my brothers gave their life’s for this ungrateful Democratic and Republican Party......so sad ! Tearful even.
I was recently asked to meditate in Galations 6:2 which speaks of Jesus command to love others as we love ourselves and to bear one another's burdens. The holy spirit brought this song to my memory. This song is so fitting and true. As we walk along this journey of life we have to help one another who may be in need of any kind and not expect anything in return if it's done from the 💙.
I will lay to rest my husband, Marine veteran Juan Rodriguez Jr, 58 McAllen Texas Dec 26, 2023 i remember listening to this song while we met in the early 90"s. Brings many tears but his courage and everything this soldier fought for will lift my family in every way possible along this winding road. God Bless our troups!
My brother died last year. This song reminds me of him. I can't wait to see him again. I'm so lost without him.
I lost my brother this year. He struggled for over 20 years to a life of drug addiction. He did come good in the end. He fought the battle and won... I often felt the words of this song because we and his family fought the good fight...he's my brother.. RIP
I’m so sorry 😔
So sorry for ur lost May He R.I.P and Lubbock Texas sends PRAYERS Sweetie 🙏❤
He wasn't heavy, he was your brother
A very great touching song. I can relate to this song because I lost my dear beloved brother through the hustle & bustle life, etc. But at the end he did good & he fought
the battle & won. Praise the Lord. He's my brother ...RIP
MY DEAR BROTHER
VICTOR 🙏 💐💐💐💐
Mary my condolences I had family in those times my husband Is part of the pull out not good .
As a combat medic this song kept me strong carrying my brothers to safety.
It made my burden easier to carry.
He AIN'T HEAVY
Thank you for your service sir insane zombie . You are a wonderful man . Dion had a beautiful song too that makes me cry. Ithink its Abraham John Martin
Thank you for yor service. Though i do not like war, sometimes it is both necissary and can give help and hope to many.
This is a fact in this broken world.

Thank you for the service and telling a story in life.

I associate this song with my brother, he died two months ago and he loved that song. Continue success in your career. Best wishes rita hickey, ireland.
I feel you, Rita. My brother also loves this song and so do I. He attached the lyrics on the wall over his desk because it makes him think of me, as he told me. But he has been seriously ill for two years now and doesn't want to keep in touch with me anymore. It hurts.
My wife died in car crush last month. She was my love, my best friend, my everything. So, I listening this song at last time every day...RIP Charlotte 💙🏴
I was born in 1968, and my dad was serving in USA. He was 3° sergeant from brazilian navy. He saw many men coming back from Vietnam without legs, arms. He donate blood from many soldiers. When we asked him about war, he cried😢
Respect
My son was in the army. Enlisted when towers we t down. Served many tours over there and in areas not known. Thank you all that served
I love you & thank you& your family so very much for your service it's a long, long road! Your my sister from Fort Hood! Take care!!
Yes. Great song and touching for.those who served.
OUTKAST 13 wants to thank your son! I retired last month at age 60! Went in 1984! Should've died numerous times but GOD ALMIGHTY kept me alive! Granada to Parts Unknown! Ghost Squad we do not exist
I am a Former Marine who served during first Gulf War. On 9/11 my deceased Mother woke me up before I had to go to my EMT job, informing me about attacks. I said You know what this means, it will be my generations first protracted War; and You will reenlist. At 32 I went over again, but that time Army. Four in the Corps was enough for me, Two in the Army was gravy.
@@georgemccormick769 my son was an active reservist and than active. His army days weren't gravy due to what he did. Retired after 26years. Hope you are okay from ur your.
To every brother or sister that served or are currently serving. Cant imagine being in a war. Thank you for your service. Love you all.
My brother and me sang this song all the time, sadly he died 2 years ago we also sang he ain't heavy it helps miss him so much love you trev x
I’m weeping all through the song for all those heroes that never made it, they were my brothers 😢😢😢😢
Back in 1918, a boy named Howard Loomis was abandoned by his mother at Father Flanagan’s Home for Boys, which had opened just a year earlier. Howard had polio and wore heavy leg braces. Walking was difficult for him, especially when he had to go up or down steps.
Soon, several of the Home’s older boys were carrying Howard up and down the stairs.
One day, Father Flanagan asked Reuben Granger, one of those older boys, if carrying Howard was hard.
Reuben replied, “He ain’t heavy, Father… he’s m’ brother.”
Now I don’t know if my version is correct but I believe the correct telling of the story is that there were two brothers going to a place called “Boys Town” and they had to walk. The youngest one got tired and physically couldn’t walk anymore, so he carried him all the way there. And when he arrived they asked him if he was heavy and he replied “He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.”
Nice story, heart breaking..Thank you from all Services.xx
Linda e triste ao mesmo tempo
11 of my team members got killed on our last mission together, just me and my spotter survived. We had to do a memorial for 11 empty coffins since their bodies were unretrievable. This song was sung in honor of them as the Funeral Eulogy song. My spotter shortly afterwards committed suicide due to Survivors Remorse and PTSD from the situation. It has been over 30 years ago when this happened, and I will never forget MY BROTHERS, and this song will always make me break down in tears. I will never forget that day, the mission, and still also deal with the associated PTSD. REST IN PIECE MY BROTHERS. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!
God bless all service men those here & not here I am forever grateful ❤️❤️❤️
Love you guys.
May our heroes be in Good Hands of God.❤
i did not serve, just missed vietnam, my brother served and survived, this song also makes me tear up for all the lost men and women and all that could have been. hang in there brother, in my heart none of you will be forgotten
Sending love 💙❤️💛💛💙💙♥️❤️❤️
Are you still going my brother?🙏
This song has been playing over and over in my head this morning. Funny how many people have forgotten how connected we all are. Your fellow human being is not taking anything from you ... he's part of you. This is a sharing ... this is how love works.
I wish more people understood that we were meant to " Love our neighbor as ourself. "
Basic and fundamental
So right, ppl are being told to love themselves! ✝️🧔
Amen to that.
Amen. My brother ❤️.
Tooeverypoliceofeticeroutherertodaymyfamilyforever
To those of you who served back then ... THANK YOU! You are the true heroes of the 1960s.
And didn't have a choice.
My brother was one of those who fought on Chu Moor Mountain in April of "68 he lost a Pvt. who if it was not for him, there would have been other names added to The Wall. Herbert Hammond is/was his name, he was 11 days shy of becoming a 20 year old😞💔😞
And welcome home!
@@janevarley5540 That's such a tragedy! I'm sorry. My father was in Vietnam, but he came home. Probably bcuz of someone like your brother. I thank him.

This song reminds me of my baby brother gone way too soon 🥺💔

My younger bro and best friend gone 6 years ago due to brain cancer, not a day goes by that I don't miss him.
Reminds me of my home state of Nebraska. The inspiration for this song is on display in front of a local hospital.
The MOTTO of Boys Town, in Omaha Nebraska, spoken in 1918 and made official in 1943. I've been there.
I love this song . A Soldier never leaves a fellow Soldier behind.
I wish our country would honor our soldiers instead of making them beg for vain little help after coming home often miss limbs and suffering ptsd!!!
Yes
Our Society is fracturing…from ME to ✨💝✨We ~ Can we begIN to open up and hold Others in the same Importance (at least) as ourSelves! Service to others is needed! We must Break the Silence by learning from our Past! ✨💎✨ Time to Rise
Unless your a incompetent President like Biden.
A True Patriot would Never leave a Soldier behind enemy lines.. But apparently grandpa Joe has no problem doing just that !!!!
We wives, children and girlfriends waited for our men to come home. Some did; some did not. We cried. We prayed. We worked to aid our soldiers. God Bless these brave men who died for our freedom and to hell with the politicians who started these wars. There is no justice.
My friend I feel your pain everyday, justice is coming. You stay strong and we will carry our brothers across the finish line and we will keep the spirits alive for eternity. God bless you ❤🙏
It’s not enough to say to hell with the politicians, say to hell to the corporations that pay the politicians to start these insane wars. The Vietnamese are still looking for some of the 2 million people of theirs that died in that made for profit war. The biggest mistake the Vietnamese made was not letting the USA win, so they would have rebuilt all the destruction they had caused, and for what ?, to make corporations and politicians richer !
I was never in the military, rejected due to a heart murmur. But I found my own way to serve, with the Red Cross and the Salvation Army. To our men and women in uniform, we may not be brothers and sisters in arms, but I did consider us to be your cousins in arms. If that makes any sense.
@@erzahler1930 I understand. I was born with a murmur and had surgery when I was eleven. Thank you for your patriotism.
Thank you for being there for our Veterans as a Veteran I salute you
When I lost my younger brother Martin I played this song over and over again. Not because I took care of him but because he took care of me. You see there was a time when I was addicted to pain pills and I mean bad. I had no place to go because of my addiction and the withdrawals I would have. When I would withdrawal I'd go crazy so my wife asked me to leave. At the time this happened me and my brother weren't getting along. As a matter of fact I hadn't talked to him in about a year. I was living at the park and I went to his apartment to ask him for help. Without hesitation he took me in knowing my problem. During the time I was staying with him I had a heart attack. I was in the hospital for a week and during that time my brother had a heart attack and died. I'll never forget what he did for me. Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of how he took me in knowing the struggle I was going through.
He loved you ❤️🙏
Didnt speak but still loved you just the same and his door was open to you always. True family never turn away. Smile and remember good times everytime you hear this as he watching and looking over you
@@jamiebinnie8719 thank you for those kind words.

Every time I hear this songs it makes me well up and brings tears to my eyes. It is as life should be.
This is one of my Brothers in Arms songs. I am Ex-Army-Infantry-Grunt from Alice, NT, Australia. Although this is Dec 21, 2020, RIP my Brothers in Arms. But Man, it messes my mind, to see ungrateful Protesters. God Bless.
I was aboard the Tripoli LPH-10 as stretcher bearer during medevac. Made 3 deployments I'm 5'5' tall but i carried casualties to safety, even in my shoulder and bear arms- they ain't heavy they were brothers.
Amen Brother, I served as a Paratrooper Infantryman with the US Army 82nd Airborne Division, we are brothers, people who don't know will never understand the brotherhood and bonds that were created serving. You take care brother!!!
I am a combat wounded Vietnam Veteran. Love this song
i to was in 'nam in '70 thank you for your service and sacrifice,,,,
Loves my brother, thank you for your service ❤🙏🇱🇷
glad you made it home brother.....nam was not easy....prosper and enjoy life!
What a beautiful song that goes straight to the heart. Prayers for everyone to know that kind of Love
I was one of the first over there and i still cry when the song talks about the deaths there. So many good friends who didn't make it back.
@@larrychandler2178 😢💔😢
I am not a war hero. But I Love my brothers. Respect to those who protected us.
My brother and I were both Marines. I looked after him until his end and would do so again....Semper Fi!
Semper Fidelis brother
Only those who have served can truly know the trials & horrors of war. I salute all veterans living & dead for their service & sacrifice.🇺🇸
U got that right Sister and here we go again with what is going on with Russia may God look over our troops
@@noediaz9636 They say if war is not profittable to a few of the big guys we won't have any more.
Sorry to all my fellow Brothas that died for nutin as it turned out..... what you think of the gov'ment today?
Perfectly said maam!
Amen on that!
One of the best songs ever written. I try to sing along and cannot get through the first phrase without my voice cracking into a lump in my throat. The song punches you with two meanings at once, both connected. The literal road in the battle scene and the road that humanity's on. So good.
Served six years in the Army and this song has always brought tears to my eyes.
I'm a Army veteran, Never fought in a war. But I did train for the Vietnam war in "73". I can't imagine what some of you guy's went thru, But this song does make me cry sometimes when I think about you what some of you went thru! God bless you!
I was in in 1970 trained for Vietnam, orders were in to ship out. Orders were changed at the last minute , I am 73 and still deal with survivors guilt. I had some close friends that didn't come home...😢😢😢
this is dedicated to all those that we lost in vietnam and every war since R.I.P. brothers in arms you are gone but not forgotten.
with you brother
I wonder if when my Grandfather’s came home from WWII if they had a song that’s a hard hitting as this one for all the men and women that were lost then? R.I.P. To ALL the men and women in every war that gave all. Gone but never forgotten.
There never gone they live on in our Hearts and our Memories❤😇🙏
Being a supporter of Veterans. I'm going to make a bet, without being pessimistic, that out of my several hundred friends, that less than 25 will take the time to put this on their wall. You just have to copy it from my wall and paste it to yours. Then type done on my wall. I've done this for a friend to spread Awareness of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. We lose 22 Veterans a day. More needs to be done to help Veterans in need.
SUPPORT YOUR VETS
Rip
I was a gunship Flight Lieutenant in1972. We cas-evaced so many wounded and dying young boys of the battle field. THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH TEARS. NOR ANGER, AT THE LOSS OF THESE BOYS. I think of them every day - almost 60 years now. The images persist. Roma Victor! AirMobil!
I was a year behind you Brother. I was sent to the RVN in early 73 as an 05C. What I saw, well, let's just say I feel ya.
RESPECT
Thank you so much for your service. Never forgotten in my heart
To all the soldiers here, thank you for your service. God Bless you all.
Franco I was in that region of Asia in 1970! We made it back. brings back a lot of memories!✌✌
To my oldest brother.... escaping the evil that drugs bring.....
I never gave up on him......
I love you Rob....drugs made him different and damaged....
Sober.....I have my brother back...
I love you Robert....💕
As a Vietnam vet I am also brought to tears hearing this song. The thoughts of places and names with faces long gone but never forgotten make me sad and yet in a strange way I am thankful to have known and been a brother to real american and vietnamese men of bravery. I remember a saying "To the fighting man, freedom is something the protected will never know". To all my brothers in arms I hope and pray we all choose heaven as our final formation!
Amen Jesus our Lord our savior and healer, thank you brother for your service🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@olgasolano3490 Thank you for your kind regards.
So many cone before us given their lives for us brothers and sisters and friends and fathers now we are here at war fighting for our rights to live in peace.
Hey Rogelio, I do not know where you live, but I want you to know that the government of the USA today in no way represents the heart and soul of the majority of the people of the USA believe me when i tell you the wars and hardships many countries and their citizens endure as a result of policies endorsed and initiated by the government of the USA are not the will of the people here, but they are the will and desire of the Federal reserve banking elite and their corporate masters and banking accomplices who are driven by false and deceptive beliefs which if continue unrestricted will eventually lead to WW3 and a nuclear holocaust which no one will laud or commemorate because those that survive such a war will eventually envy the dead as their survival becomes a damnable living death!@@rogeliosolognier8862
Lost my younger brother to brain cancer 6 years ago. Not a day goes by I don't miss him and I'm almost 70. You never get over the relationship with your siblings, folks. Never thought I'd outlive him.
I I feel for y ou brother larry t
@@larryt5924 Thanks my friend, much appreciated.
Thanks man he was a great person
Song was played at 2 of my younger brother's funeral. Rips my heart out every time I hear this song.
so sorry for your loss, i just lost my brother too
As a Vietnam veteran once said to me about a friend who was MIA.... as long as you remember him he's still alive. Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss
It's a pain you shall endure all through your life
It's a pain no one else can fathom
Stay blessed
I learned how to play this song on the harmonica in my last year of preschool. This song has always stayed with me since then.
All of us who fought,who put our lives on the line, know how important this song is.it reaches down deep and confirms that commitment,Thank you Jesus,!
Back in the day, songs like this played on the radio every day. If only that were still true, because I know it makes a difference.
💞 Yes...So true. So many of our songs back then....Brought Love and compassion for one another. Together we must always keep the Love Flowing ...Forever. Love and Peace to all always💞✌️
I think it does too...👍🏾🤗💯
That's why I listen to the sound or magic

True. It was more
classic artists then.
I'm 74 years old and I miss my brothers in arms so much it hurts
…feel you brother…
same here buddy
My brother wrote me 30 page letters from Viet Nam. I was in high school and wanted to enlist until they told me I would not be able to help. He came home and I was happy. He had a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. Eventually told me what happened and also dismissed it all as just "accidental" awards.
i'm 71 and know what it's like just wish we could be together again
Stay with us. Love you for all you done.
I was in 2nd grade high school when this came out. Now, in my sixties and a 10 year vet UK Forces, I feel it's power..
I thank the life that God has given my brother to be with me. Brother it was a long ride, and you wasn't never heavy you were my brother.
I’m a UK Veteran, and to all those who served irrespective of UK or USA Forces etc.. I think this Hollies iconic song relates to each of us.. Respect Brothers and Sisters. Forever RIP to our fallen comrades.. God Bless..
James Brown. I babysat and washed your stinky socks. Xxxxxxxx
Amen...
Hey, you forgot Canada! Peace bro'.
@@billfarley9167 Apologies my good friend, Canadian Forces too and Australian and other Western Forces of peace..
thank you for your service x
Very meaningful song. I shared it with my brother when he was facing a crisis in his life. Told him he wasn't alone and I will always be there for him.
You have understood the real meaning of this song. Thank you for your excellent comment.
@@sunryse111 Thank you. He was indeed very touched at that moment. Glad that he managed to turn his life around and doing fine now.
To all the war veterans and all the people currently fighting all of you are the true definition of heroes in my eyes thank you from Australia
This song is very powerful n as a Vietnam Veteran my brothers are all very very special and always will be
This was played when my older brother and I carried our little brother and put him the Hurst he passed away from Cancer I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH JIMMY.
a fine tribute to your brother jimmy.....shows great courage and love.....he will always live in your heart so he is only one heartbeat away..
No one can listen to this without shedding some silent tears.
Guess I have to agree; hard to read the computer listening to this song.
I am not military your song is biutifull remmem ver in bataan
Powerful songs. He ain’t heavy,he’s my brother ❤
To our Vietnam Veterans here: Welcome Home!!! Much love and respect to each & every one of you. My heart swells with pride to have been the daughter of a Green Beret & my father & all his brothers mean so very much to me!!!❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️
I just recently lost my younger brother. I thought I was dealing with his passing okay but then I heard this song. Suddenly tears flowing uncontrollably!
Me too ! ... I guess my younger Brother's ~ *Guardian Angel ... *Collapsed from Total 😷 Exhaustion... due to ~ before ! During *& after VIET NAM... when he ... Finally ~ "Gave up The Ghost !" ~ in 2021 @ Home Alone ... R.I.P. Brother / Pte. Douglas Roy ( "Mac" ~ 7 R.A.R. Vietnam 1967 /1968....
Blessings..love and hugs..Thank you so much
Let the tears flow. It's a healing process.
There is no shame in that shows you truly loved him.
God bless you take care
To all war veterans around the world, thank you for making our world a safer place. Thanks is not even enough. It saddens me when I read how veterans are almost forgotten by their own country. You are my heroes 🤗🤗❤
Athletes don't respect veterans enough to stand during the National Anthem
@@beckyhahn3132 These athelets only care about what they want..my grandfather fought in WW2..he delt with it in his own way..he passed living a full life though..and he loved his family
@@beckyhahn3132 You're absolutely right. There's one right now who's currently getting a good lesson on why we love this country so much & why we respect our veterans, our flag, & our national anthem. This one that I'm talking about has been in the news here lately. I bet this person will respect our country from now on. That's what happens when you're stuck in a foreign country & you have no American rights. You appreciate how good you had it here & you appreciate the veterans, as they sacrificed so much to secure the freedoms & liberties that we enjoy today. I love & appreciate each & every one of them. God bless them all, always & forever!
Inspirational song, we were brothers. Semper fi and God bless them all.
If you just think about what the title implies it is enough to bring tears to your eyes. Helping someone you genuinely care about is not a burden, but rather it is a dedicated commitment of love. It is what makes living worthwhile.
My brother passed away 12 years ago, that his favorite music ! Rest In Peace brother ☮️☮️☮️❤️❤️❤️😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am so sorry for your loss....he certainly had good taste in music....RIP
So sorry for your loss!
If u cannot appreciate music of this caliber, nothing will, this is pure gold,
this is music I grew up with
I keep playing this song every time when am alone, lost my youngest brother and my only two sons, this song brings tears am a widower
I was 15 at the time and a young Canadian girl
This war was killing me as well as young American men. To this day I do not forget. Much love to all of you and the Canadian boys that thought it was the war to join...the sadness in my heart is still heavy after all these years
PEACE OUT!
How could anyone possibly give This a thumbs-down? Tears flowin
Those are the ones that don't know music!!!!!I love this music just hearing this music brings back memories of my two brothers who I lost!!!!Just hearing the verse he's my brother!!!!Thumps up to all the slow jams from the 60s/80s sounds are better then what we are hearing now adays
Sadly Suzanne they are the ones whose brothers are too heavy. Their hearts aren’t filled with the gladness of love for one another. That is our world. Today.
Judith, that is one of the most beautiful comments I’ve ever read.
Happily, though, I can tell you that doesn’t have to be our reality.
Jesus, shortly before going to the cross, washed His disciples’ feet. “If I, the Lord and Teacher, washed your feet, you should also wash each others’ feet...if you do this, YOU WILL BE HAPPY.”
👍
But you were giving a prophetic warning to us, and a beautiful warning it is.
As Jesus said, “because lawlessness is increased in the last days, the love of most will grow cold. “
@@mybrotherkeeper1484 She was quoting lyrics from this song
When my brother died, I dedicated this song to him. I miss him so much😑 RIP I love you so much💕
I feel the pain, my condolences 😢
i might be a fool i lost my one n only brother 29 years ago i miss him so much god i am very old now xxxx
It sends shivers down my spine while reading some comments of all veterans who survived. Love you all my brothers!!!!
