    I already had alot of respect for this man simply based in what R.A. had to say about him. But when he talked about his kids and said that God gave him his kids in that condition and that God put them in a place where they would be loved, I got a little choked up. That is a man who loves his kids with a perfect love. Wish I could have met this man.

    This video brings up good memories. I was there the night this was filmed. It was in Allentown, PA at an underground show hosted by King Magnetic. It was an amazing night. I was right in front of RA during all of that. Got to meet his pops too. Good memories for sure.

    Everything about this video is so amazing. I love the way Mr. Thorburn talks so highly of his family and the way he looks back on his life. The shots of Rugged Man hyping up the crowd and having a fun time. Rugged Man and his father are both legends. Peace, Respect, and Love!

    I can see where R.A. got his trueness "Making love is a lot harder then making war.. making war is easy"- John A. Thorburn

      @princepaul6739 Год назад +1

      I peeped that a while ago." Been rich, been poor". I think a lot of the way RA carries himself is due to his father.

    I never served but if you served and the "uncommon valor" hits you extra hard or means more than all the better.. I give you props for serving and this shit gives me goosebumps and I've never served in the military but im sure for you it would hit close to home which makes it all the more meaningful.

  • @LK5150360
    @LK5150360 11 лет назад +1

    It really does man, RA did this exclusively for his father, when you deploy and serve you see shit that will stay with you for the remainder of your entire fucking life. I have a small child now after the fact, and it hurts to look at her sometimes and seeing at the same time, all the damaged children littered across the span of 3 tours. All conspiracy shit aside, which we all know is true, John Thorburn, like myself, loved his country. and despite the shit its turning into...I still do.
