    Just in time for Memorial Day. My husband was a Marine and a “traveling soldier” of a different kind. His duty was to deliver the other soldiers home to their families for burial. He stood for 94 funerals & it took its toll on him. He cried every time he heard “Taps”. He took his own final journey 5 years ago. We were married for 43 years or as we would say, “always and forever”.

      Heck, I'm not a vet, nor do I personally know anyone who has made that sacrifice, but it brings tears to my eyes too. A solemn reminder to me of what Memorial Day is about. I may not personally know any of those who gave their lives for my freedom, but to me the day has always been about those who did, and just as importantly (if not more so), their families. Those who gave husbands, wives, brothers, and sisters, sons, and daughters... I don't feel, "Thank you," is quite appropriate or sufficient. There is a debt that is owed that can never be repaid. If I could share your grief and pain, I would. May their names and sacrifices never be forgotten.

    I hope I don´t cross a line here commenting, cause I am from Europe. But I just wanted to say, that I am really thankful for the service of all those soldiers. We were gifted with peace and freedom after WW2. And US soldiers have always protected our values across the world. These soldiers are real people with families, risking their lives for the benefits of all the western world. Politics aside, I just wanted to say thank you! Thank you so much!

My great grandfather was a Russian born German with a Jewish wife. Russia passed a law when WW1 began requiring those not Russian by blood to either join the army or leave Russia. They decided that getting out of Europe entirely was probably a good idea and came to this great country. Thank you again.

    My wife had to screen this first to let me know if I was allowed to watch it. I am a retired Marine who served during Desert Shield/Storm and OIF/OEF. I did not come home with everyone I left with. I have lost more Brothers and Sisters in Arms along the way because they could not shake the demons that were created "over there". This weekend is very much about remembering those service members we have lost, but PLEASE do not forget those who are still struggling!!
    Home Free, thank you for another tear-jerking, thought-provoking, heart-felt song. Your music is wonderful and your messages are desperately needed. But after "One Voice", and now this, I am ready for another fun song so I can pretend to sing like Tim.

It felt nice to see a version showing that a man can wait for his woman soldier too. It's so hard on military families to be separated from the ones they love. I just wish society would appreciate that sacrifice a lot more.

      Very true words and you're totally right that some don't get the recognition they deserve.
      That being said, it is a song, written by women, about a young woman missing a male soldier.

      Ma'am, as a veteran of the finest Air Force this planet has to offer I can assure you she is in good hands. I was Security Forces, the law enforcement of the Air Force, and our first order is to ensure the safety and well-being of all personnel and property within base limits. As the teachers of law enforcement and security to the other branches, she is well protected by some very fine individuals. 🫡

    I sobbed when this song came out and it was a young man passed....and I sobbed again with this version. I had/have family members who served/serve-both males & females. Until they actually come home, you run to the mailbox hoping for a letter from your loved one. You peek when the doorbell rings, praying it’s not someone in “dress blues”. Had family members who were/are members of Police/Sheriffs offices, and someone on your doorstep in a dress uniform, with a man in a collar were met with sobs. Firemen are the same way. Thank you for the tears....music should invoke feelings.....truly well sung music invokes many feelings....any your songs always invoke a gambit of feelings, thank you!

We were married when I returned stateside, and so far it has been a wonderful 51 years.

He's been my inspiration for basically everything in my life and the whole reason for me wanting to serve. Unfortunately I didn't go well with Army, so I went for Police instead, and I have been in the Police Force for over 17 years now. If it wasn't for him, I don't know if I would be a police officer, so this song bringing back memories of him definitely brings me through a journey in my life.

    I had my epiphany moment when I spent an everning on a practice range, shooting tracer rounds with my M16, then had to go do guard duty on that range.
