The Tomb of the unknown soldier is also sacred ground. The honor guard who guard it take their jobs seriously. During a severe storm they were actually told to seek shelter because the conditions were so bad. They all refused and stood their ground. Patriotism in the USA is amazing.
It was during a hurricane that the Old Guard refused to abandon their duty.
The OLD GUARD is premier!!!! They take it serious
Being a Sentinel is an oath
They are AMAZING! I remember going there and watching them. I'm hoping one day I can take my grandkids there. My husband has been past it many times, but I think EVERYONE should go there at least once. You can definitely feel the love, respect, and honor when your there. If I remember correctly there are actually the remains of three soldiers at the tomb of the unknown soldier. There are also only two Presidents buried there. William Taft and JFK. Robert Kennedy is also buried there. The difference in JFK and RFK's grave is unreal. JFK has an internal flame and RFK has a really simple cross. It's crazy. JFK also has Jackie buried next to him, with the son and daughter they lost as newborns. They are on either side. That's really sad to see. When I speak of the pride and things you feel, you do feel from the tourist, but you can feel it through your body. It's like the people buried there are still exhuming pride and love for America. I think we need more of it.
My dad is buried in Arlington. He received 2 purple hearts. He landed at Omaha Beach and survived a landmine. My father then was in the Battle of the Bulge under Gen. Patton. He was sent home and was in the VA hospital in Ohio. His wife, at the time, dropped off my half-sister at my uncle's home so they could watch her. She then drove with her sister to visit my father in the hospital. On the way to the visit, she was killed in a car accident and her sister was critically injured. My dad was a tough strong man with many medals and awards. He rests deservedly in Arlington.
Thank you to your father.
Your pride should have no boundaries very special indeed, how few can say that.....all the best, and your father a true man, a true hero. The "Battle of the Bulge" wow!!
My grandpa was KIA in France. He came in on Omaha beach also. He served as a Private in Patton's Army also.
Arlington is truly sacred ground. When you go to Arlington you will drop to your knees and be thankful
Amen.
You can't even think about Arlington without a being misty eyed
The pots is the commander and chief of the United States armed forces
The tomb of the unknown soldier has a marine guard 24/7
@@KenMinor-ek1xsit's not the Marines it's the old guard US ARMY
A little history - Arlington Cemetery is the former home of General Robert E Lee confiscated after the Civil War. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is guarded 24/7 by specially selected soldiers from the 3rd US Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) and a meticulous pattern of walking the guard and changing the guard is observed. These guards walk their duty rain or shine, and have very stringent requirements for their behavior and uniform appearance. Visitors to the site (and indeed throughout the Cemetery) are expected to behave with all respect due to the heroes buried there. It is a soul stirring and humbling experience to visit. My stepdad and my mom rest in Arlington. The care and respect we received as a family having the burials is a memory I cherish. I was born in Washington DC and had the privilege from a very young age to experience the history present throughout the city, and it has always stuck with me. Arlington and the Lincoln Memorial are two long favorites.
Thank you for your family's service. We are also a military family. My father, mother, uncle, aunt, father in law, and a cousin are all buried in Camp Nelson National Cemetery, in Central Kentucky.
@@maryrichardson1318 What a wonderful family legacy. ❣️
Robert E Lee"s wife inherited Arlington. Her grandmother was Martha Custis Washington, wife of George Washington. The house is still known as the Custis-Lee House.
It was actually confiscated during the war, Lee's family eventually agreed to the US Government buying the land as long as they also preserved the home, which they have
@@JohnReedy07163 it was my understanding that official transfer of ownership occurred after the Civil War to settle a tax dispute on the property. But I don’t pretend to be an historical scholar.
Ali yes that is the tomb of the unknown soldier soldiers that were inable to be identified are buried there
There is a honor guard that protects the tomb 24 hrs a day 365 days a year all weather conditions it's a honor to be selected and you can't speak loudly it is a quiet place of respect- from a honorable discharged veteran thank you both for your support of us veterans
There are verifed News stories about the "Sentinals" (Honor Guard) of the Tomb of the Unkown still performing their duties even when a hurricane effected the area.......
Thank u for ur service!!!
There are service members from nearly every war buried in the Tomb of the Unknowns. However, thanks to modern technology and DNA records, it is unlikely that there will be any new ones added.
@@maryrichardson1318 I remember hearing a couple years ago, that one of them (I forget which war) was Identified and moved to regular a Gravesite and another Unknown from same war was placed in the spot/crypt.......
@CoastalNomad The
one that was identified was a pilot that was shot down during the Vietnam War. The one in the big tomb is from World War 1.The other 2 are from WW2 and the Korean War. The crypt that held the one from Vietnam remains empty.
I am a combat veteran ( Vietnam ) You can not possibly know the good you have just done. Thank you for this and God bless you both.
I love this song. We saw Trace in concert in Florida and it was the first time he did the song in concert. By the third line, I "knew" where the song was going and started to cry. By the end of the song, one would have thought that someone had run over my puppy. What an awesome song.
❤ Thank you to all the men and women who sacrificed and made it home where they belong. Rest in peace , your valor, and love for our country will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸
My husband is in Arlington. He past in 1986. When we are at war only active duty fallen soldiers are buried there. When we are not at war you just have to be active duty. That’s how it was explained to me in 1987. ❤
He died in 1987. Hit the wrong year at first.
@@CarolLee-mq8er Thank You and your Husband for your service.
🙏🙏 we thank your husband for his service
Thank you for you and your family for your service. We have a national cemetery near us in central Kentucky. My father and mother, Dad's brother and his wife, my father in law and my cousin's husband are all buried there. The spouse of the service member is eligible to be buried in the same grave as the service member. Daddy's information is on the front of the headstone, and Mom's is on the back.
I have an Aunt and Uncle who are buried there by request of President Taft. He was a military Dr. When the Panama canal was being built, And she was a nurse in the white house.
Thanks a lot for making and old fat veteran cry Sebs and Ali. Seriously though, I am so grateful that you showcase these kinds of songs. Getting to hear Letters from Home from JMM a few weeks ago that I recommended to you and hearing you call me out was pretty special. And also I want to stess again that your personal story reminds me of why I spent 32 years doing what I did. You are the Americans I served to protect. Your whole recent immigrant story, although important, just makes it even better because you truly appreciate it. Thank you.
Thank you for your service 🙏
A trip to Arlington National Cemetery is a must. Watching the changing of the guard at the Tombs of the Unknowns will rip your heart out while at the same time giving you a sense of American pride that cannot be described with mere words. The dedication to the Unknowns the Old Guard shows is very, very humbling. As a US veteran, ANC makes me quiet and introspective. This song gets my eyes misty. Trace is a good guy, and "Arlington' is an awesome song.
My grandfather died in France during Ww2. He came in via the beaches of Normandy. He wasn't one in the first wave. He came in June and was killed in September, 2 days before my mother's 2nd birthday. He was laid to rest in a military cemetery and exhumed about 1948 and returned home and buried in the family plot of ground.
I went to Arlington, we saw a service being held. It's a very moving experience. The many white headstones just row after row! That's not even all the many others resting in burials at sea and foreign lands and the MiA too. God bless the soldier!
That you are a patriotic American is a tremendous achievement, for all of us.
My family has lots of naturalized proud and patriotic citizens in it.
My wife was sworn in on stage at the US Army 82nd Airborne theater at Fort Brag, NC.
She grew up in a dictatorship and worked hard for years to escape and make it to America.
She’s married to a retired Marine, is so appreciative and proud to be both.
She’s someone you would never want to run down America in front of .
Before I met her, she risked her life so our sons could be born here.
So, we get it. We’re glad you’re here and glad that you get it.
Glad you "get it" and got it. Peace, Love!!
Heroes given such RESPECT. 🇺🇸🙏💖
That is the tomb of the unknown soldier. Watching them guard it and being at Arlington is an incredible experience
It is a shame you cannot talk with the on duty personal or to be able to buy them a drink.
One of my greatest honors while in the Army was to be on the detail that did the funerals for soldiers. I was on the part of the team that folded the flag. It was an honor to pay respect to those that chose to serve our country.
Both of my parents were cremated and are interred at Arlington National Cemetery. My mother was an army veteran of WW2 and my father retired after 26 years in the army.
I am so proud of the way America honors our heros. If you have never watched the movie "Taking Chance" you really would be blown away.
I second this suggestion; Wreaths Across America used part of that docudrama as inspiration for their theme (“Be their witness”) in 2019:
(From IMDB)
LtCol Mike Strobl: “I stayed home. I was trained to fight. If I'm not over there, what am I? Those guys, guys like Chance... they're Marines.”
Charlie Fitts: “And you think you're not? Want to be with your family every night - you think you have to justify that? You'd better stop right there, sir. You've brought Chance home. You're his witness now. Without a witness, they just disappear”
That movie is absolutely awesome. Makes you realize exactly what happens when a Marine is killed overseas. I watch it every couple of months (of course I own it on DVD) and cry my eyes out every time. I was a "Jacksonville Lady" similar to the Arlington Ladies who would attend Services to present a card and condolences to the families, but to me the most special part was to attend the Services of those Veterans who have no one there to attend and be "Their final Witness"
My oldest brother and his wife will both be interned at Arlington when they pass, both were career navy, fought in desert storm. Prayers and thanks to all those who have served.Peace from Northern Michigan.
It is a great privilege to lay the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Very few people get that honor. ❤❤❤❤
Such a powerful song. I didn't even wait to finish watching the video to hit the "like" button. It deserves a "like" just for playing it. And if you gained citizenship you're an American. It doesn't matter if you weren't born American.
Love you guys and this song, the students here go to DC in the 8th grade and lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown.. huge honor
There are 3 soldiers buried at The Tomb Of The Unknown. The original soldier from WWI, later to be added were a soldier from WWII and The Korean War.
Actually I think they picked 2 from WW2, one from each theater
As a combat veteran I like you. Keep up the awesome work. God bless you and your family.
This song always gives me chills. His voice and story is amazing. Thank you to all who gave all for this country.
I went to Arlington when I was in my teens. It took my breath away, watching the changing of the guards at the tomb of the unknowns, seeing where John F. and Bobby Kennedy where buried. Sacred grounds. When I hear this and the how the reverence that Trace pays to it, I cry. Heroes buried there.
Arlington is breathtaking and no matter which way you look at the tombstones their all in a perfect line and the amount of thankfulness that'll fill your hearts is unmatched
Part of Arlington is dedicated to the Military Women’s Memorial, where female veteran’s register & tell our stories. If you ever visit Arlington, please, take time to visit. I’m 70, live on the west coast, unfortunately, I doubt I will ever be able to see it..I did register tho, many years ago. I served in the US Air Force during Vietnam, was never overseas, but am considered a Vietnam ERA veteran.
Welcome to America Seb. This song gave me chills and made me cry. ARLINGTON.
❤❤That is beautiful❤❤Trace is great❤❤
My grandpa was an Army vet who served in Vietnam and also served in the national Guard in Panama, Operation Uphold Democracy(Haiti) and Desert Storm. He also did one tour in Iraq and one in Kuwait as a civilian contractor. He also earned a Purple Heart, he was wounded in combat for those who don't know what those are for, from his time in Vietnam. He passed in 2014, and is buried at Arlington. Miss you Papa❤
Arlington is sacred ground. It holds many precious souls. Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is so special and also sacred.
Not just young soldiers are buried in Arlington. There are families buried there. Babies and older children, wives, and lots of old men long out of service. But it's the young soldiers that make the tears flow.
You should read about the Old Guard…3rd Infantry. They not only guard the tomb of the unknown soldier but they patrol the grounds and perform the burials at Arlington. It is a lifelong commitment for them.
Arlington. It’s a wonderful song and story. Love watching you respond to Trace Adkins.
You and Allie need to react to Trace doing. “One hot momma”. It’s a good one. Has that Toby Keith feel.
This is one song that always brings tears to my eyes.
I always get a goosebumps when i hear this song, something about it is so emotionally resonating.
You ARE American Sebs! Just like me you have red, white and blue running through your veins! 💙♥️💙🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was only 6 or 7 when I went to Arlington with my Great Grandmother and parents looking for my Uncle Paul's grave.. i still remember it to this day.. it's a very profound place to go.. I remember seeing the Eternal Flame for JFK.. 50 yrs ago.. it's a place that sticks with you.
Absolutely you should visit. Will take your breath away. I was privileged to have the honor to lay a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Thank you for your reaction to this video. As a Viernam-era Veteran, this reminds me of my brothers and sisters in arms who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
I've not been to Arlington, but I nearly cry with sorrowful pride every time I hear this song. I have been to the war memorials in D.C. The Vietnam Memorial when I stand before yard after yard of polished black marble, engraved with the names of those who lost their lives, gives me the same sobering feeling. Here's my salute to all those brave men and women. There's another song I'd call a companion to this one -- Tim McGraw, singing "If You're Reading This". You can probably guess from the title what it's about.
I’m a retired Navy Seabee. My wife and I are living in our rv and we travel around this great country of ours and one of the things we do is visit any national cemeteries near where we are and pay our respects to the heroes buried there. We are currently at the Air Force Academy in colorado Springs. We try and visit the graves of any Medal of Honor recipients. Arlington is the most sacred of sacred grounds. We haven’t been there yet but are hoping to visit there in the spring of 2025. I encourage you to visit a national cemetery. They are beautiful and peaceful places.
My Great Uncle Jimmy died in a fighter jet back in WW2. The older I’ve gotten I’ve realized, he died about a week before the war was over. My grandmother is the last of her siblings alive and she has her brother’s and dad’s medals displayed proudly on her living room wall. This song is beautiful! I’m just as choked up listening now as I was watching the video on CMT when it came out 😭
Arlington was the name of Robert E. Lee's plantation. He was the head of the confederate army during the Civil War. When they lost the property was confiscated by the federal government. Lincoln said it was to lay the deaths during the war at his doorstep
😮I am Vietnam Veteran and this is so Emotional sounds great Black 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 Lawrence Clark
Thanks for revisiting ❤
Fun fact: Trace is over 6'6". He's also been in several movies, etc. He's an amazing guy and true Patriot!
This is one H__l of a tear jerker! Thanks to all of our Military!! Thanks for showing this! ❤❤❤❤❤
Arlington is a place every American should visit. One of the most emotional experiences of my 71 years.
there are videos that show what it takes to be selected for the honor of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier--well worth a watch. Thanks for the video--great reaction to one of my favorite artists
I went to Arlington during Memorial Day in 2013 while I lived in NoVa. I always took that holiday for granted, never again. I was so moved.❤
Many years ago I was lucky enough to go on a middle school trip to dc and one of the stops we made was to Arlington National Cemetery. Even back then, as young as I was, I still felt an air of reverence that has stuck with me since. Its truly sacred ground and Im glad I went and paid my respects to those that paid the ultimate price in the service of our county. I plan on going back sometime to pay my respects once more.
I was a 92m (Mortuary Affairs Specialist) in the Army…we did search, recovery, and identification…also notification and accompaniment. We did those things so that no longer will white markers rise from green fields of glory bearing the inscription “Here lies a soldier known but to God”.
This song gets me every time. Freedom isn’t free! Rest in Peace to all my brothers and sisters!!! Semper Fidelis 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm a home health aide and my client is a Marine Vet and its an honor to help him
Thank you for reviewing this song. I’ve heard it many times and sob every time. Ali, you were correct about the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier. If you’ve never gone to watch the changing of the guard, it’s something you should put on your to do list. I’ve been many times as my son was a sentinel at the tomb. It is watched over 24/7 by the Army. It’s a beautiful memorial and ceremony honoring those who not only lost their lives, but their identity. I will never pass up the opportunity to visit ANC and while there visit the Tomb.
Thank you, again, for bringing us this wonderful tribute from Trace Adkins.
PBS does the National Memorial Day Concert every year and Trace is always there. It is hosted by Gary Sinise and Joe Montegna They have multiple years on youtube. You should definitely check them out.
It's mentioned in the comments on your previous video that the house belonged to Robert E. Lee before the Civil War. The house is mentioned in the lyrics, as is the old man inside who "ried the day they brought me home." Once you realize that he sees the spirit of his grandfather, it's apparent that the "old man" in the house is Robert E. Lee.
The line is in reference to the president. Thus the previous line to that “There’s a big White House that sits on a hill just up the road”
@@tomwilliams5137 Respectfully, I disagree. The former Lee mansion is part of the grounds of Arlington and sits atop a hill overlooking the cemetery.
Sorry, but I think your interpretation to the lyrics is way off. “There’s a big White House sits on a hill just up the road”. Refers to Capital Hill and the White House of the president. “The man inside he cried the day they brought me home”. Refers to the president of the United States. Nothing is said about an ‘old man’.
I love Taking Chance. I bought the movi e and got several copies and gave to friends. What a way to spend an afternoon! My daddy was a marine and I proudly watched it!!!
A great song and a very beautiful and special place Arlington National Cemetery. Been there after I got out of the Marines and seen it with my pastor who was a Marine in Vietnam veteran.
Thank you all who have served our country and their families. Good bless you all.
I have always felt all American citizens should be strongly encouraged to visit Arlington. It will take your breath away & the awe, & pride, & overwhelming sadness will hit you all at once, lije a tidal wave. You'll look across those massive fields of narrow, snow white stones, 400K of them standing upright listing off the name, rank, DOB & DOD, and special awards earned. President John F Kennedy is also laid to rest there with his wife & son. We go every Memorial Day, and it still effects me every time, maybe because I understand personally the sacrifice those stones mean!
Another patriotic song from Trace Adkins is "Empty Chair " its about a group of Soldiers paying tribute to their fallen soldier .
I've seen this done at Military dinners. A lone table with a place setting and an empty chair. For those that didn't come home
My uncle Lee was at Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal! When he was dying of brain cancer, he relived all of that in his nightmares! Now, he is at peace with Jesus!
I love Trace!!!!
Just fishin (girl dad song)
Mind on fishin
Chrome
Ladies love country boys
Every house in the house is on
Hot momma
Brown chicken brown cow (gotta watch the watch party from the video) both are hilarious!!!
Better off
Swing
Also might I add “you’re gonna miss this” but for some reason I feel like they’ve reacted to it already.
OP: "Every LIGHT in the House is On".
Just thought you'd want to know....
Beautiful, Reverent, so solemn.🇺🇸
Powerful song it means so much to all of us who lost loved ones in wars.
The things the soldiers buried in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier have in common is they died in wars they did not start and they died fighting for us. We don't know their names but we honor them and all our soldiers, both living and dead, as best we can.
This is such a beautiful song! So glad you took a second look at it. You should also check out "8th of November" by Big and Rich. It is such an amazing tribute.
"I was just barely in DC a few weeks ago!"
I felt the same way when I was leaving Germany before I found out Patton was buried out there.
A few military wives are buried in Arlington as well, with their soldiers/marines/sailors.
Love this song! I haven’t seen a reaction of “the 8th of November” by Big & Rich. I appreciate your sense of patriotism in your reactions. That one is very moving to me!
You mentioned that you when to Normandy and saw the National Cemetery there. You should check out the video about the WW2 soldiers returning for the first time since D-Day. The video is called "48 of my Comrades are buried there." Or the one where a Southwest Airlines Captain brings his father home.
Every year I travel to DC for professional reasons and to visit family in Maryland. Then I spend the night at Fort Myer in Wainwright Hall and the entire next day visiting my family and friends and brothers who are interred in Arlington. We do talk to each other and I always come away with a lighter step and a renewed sense of purpose.
I think you’d like big and rich 8th of November!!! You two are a beautiful couple! Darryl Worley “ I just came back from a war” Great tribute to military!! From an old army vet! 🫡🇺🇸
He's just great ❤
This is so very sad, It should not have to be this way. Love your reaction!
Love Trace Atkins!
Arlington is the most famous one, however, there are National cemeteries all over this great country. My brother & sister in law and many other family & friends are buried in one here in Michigan. My sister in law passed first, so she was cremated & put in the National cemetery's mausoleum until my brother passed. Then her urn was put in his casket so they can be together forever. They met in the Air Force, so his info is on one side of the marble stone & hers in on the other. Pretty cool. Those cemeteries are beautiful & tragic & peaceful & they fill you with pride in family & country. Powerful places. Check out pics of them at Christmas. There is a group that does 'Wreaths across America' & they put a Christmas wreath on every single stone. Powerful view!
Love this song. You should watch "One Hot Mama" by him with your wife.
The official video is awesome, but the life performance from the award show.... simply amazing.
The history of Arlington Cemetary has an interesting history. It was a plantation owned by Robert E. Lee and was confiscated by the Union during the Civil War. There were a lot of crazy plans to desecrate this man's property, but the number of fatal casualties during the Civil War (where most casualties were hard to identify and were returned to DC). So they turned the plantation into a cemetery for these men. Two small points, the US Flag is always folded into a triangle (not just at funerals), many people do not do that and just fold it like a towel and stow it on a shelf, which is disrespectful, but most do not know any better. Finally, you were absolutely right, that was the tomb of the unknown soldier which I believe was built after WWI. Lots of RUclips videos about how the "Old Guard" are chosen, trained, and performed their duties. Well worth a look-see. Considered to be a great honor in the Army. I enjoy your videos even though it is annoying when you stop in the middle of a good song for comments. 🙂
this song gets to me everytime. I am so thankful for the freedom we enjoy. I have a great Uncle buried in Rome - Tyes Boven. and Trace Adkins. what a voice.
The Flag - When a soldier dies, his casket is covered with an American Flag. That flag remains on his casket, all through transportation, until his casket is put in the ground. At the burial, the flag is removed, folder and usually handed to the closest living relative, This is generally the spouse if she is present, then the mother, if she is present. Then the Father, then the oldest sibling. If the soldier was married but the spouse is no longer living, then any children would go before the mother. I think I have the order correct. I apologize if I have it wrong.
Great Reaction Y'all...... The Concert she was talking about is a Memorial Day Tribute (In Washington DC) that is Broadcast every year on PBS...... PBS also does a Concert/Broadcast on the 4th of July each year In conjunction with the Fireworks Display over the "National Mall" (the park in Wahington DC between the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol Building)........ Both are VERY Patriotic........ Past Broadcasts of each can be found on PBS's Website and RUclips Channel......
Ali you are correct, it is the tomb of the unknown soldier.
My Grandpa was at Normandy. The third wave. He got 2 purple 💜. He passed away on January 15 2016. On my birthday 😢. I loved that man so much. And i miss him so much
You are more American than most American born people I know brother! Love to see it!
Beautiful simply beautiful. God bless
Hi Sebs and Ali, so very good to see you both. I'm home and will talk to you both soon. Expect something soon via mail and email. And while I would love for you to watch the changing of the guard at Arlington National. 🙏🏻♥️💔
There are soldiers that fought in ww2 that past away later that still buried there Audey Murphy was buried there in 76 or 77
It was his grandfather who recognized him when they buried him in Arlington and saluted him
pro tip- lol if you want to wear cowboy hats. make sure to buy two hats. a straw( palm leaf) need to wear from easter to to labor day. the felt hat you wear it from labor day to the following easter. if you need help just google cowboy hat seasons and it will help ya out. great reaction as usual
I've visited the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Wailing Wall, and the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and the tomb of John the Baptist in the Umayyad Mosque and the Mausoleum of Salahadin in Damascus. I've stood on Mount Nebo where the Prophet Moses observed the Promised Land, the entire Jordan Valley from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea. All of these places were special and deeply meaningful. I also lived within walking distance of Arlington National Cemetery and visited the cemetery many times. I am an American, so I confess I'm prejudiced, but I've never been on holier ground than at Arlington National Cemetery, and particularly at the Amphitheater and tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It's an experience like no other. There are 155 National Cemeteries in the United States in 42 states and Puerto Rico, and Arlington National Cemetery, with over 400,000 graves isn't even in the top ten of national cemeteries in numbers of graves. The largest is Calverton National Cemetery in New York with over 2 million graves. I've been to a number of national military cemeteries (I once served as a funeral detail officer providing military honors to eligible veterans) and if the United States doesn't do anything else well, we excel at honoring our veterans, and appropriately so. We will be burying my father-in-law, who passed away 8 days ago and served in the United States Air Force for 22 years, in the Dayton National Cemetery 15 days from now. God bless them all.
And we definitely need to see y’all watch Braveheart!!!! Don’t listen to the haters 😉
I just returned from Arlington visiting my brothers and sisters this song hit hard every time
And he is also saying that he had a chill when his dad saluted him for following in his dad's footsteps and joined the army and doing the same thing that his dad did
"Till the Last Shot's Fired" - by Trace Adkins live is great as well.
Specifically that live version.
Every plot in every National Cemetery throughout the USA has the same headstones. On the side facing the body is the soldier, on the other side of the headstone is their spouse 's information. The two are buried atop each other. Arlington is now pretty much reserved for high ranking officers and others that were decorated for valor . My Mom and Dad (career Naval Aviator WWII, Korea, Vietnam) are buried at the cemetery in Dallas-Ft Worth. Had a supernatural experience at his grave that is the most amazing moment of my life. Every national cemetery is hallowed ground and IMO all school children in metro areas that have one should give the children a tour so they know the price of freedom.
I agree that Arlington is a special place, and it even has soldiers from the Civil War. ❤❤❤. Your cowboy boots, did you soak them in water before you wore them? If not you should, it makes the boots fit your feet like a glove. Don't worry your boots will be fine. Get yourself some boot socks and wear the wet boots until they dry. I lived in Texas for several years and an old cowboy gave me this advice 😊😊. I really enjoy your reactions very much. ❤❤😊
You are correct that is the Tomb of the Unknown. The name on the headstone at the end is Corporal Patrick Nixon who died in battle in 2003. race heard his story and wrote the song. Would love to see you guys do a reaction of the Changing of the Guard ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns.
