@@turusan02 It's not something you think about when you join. You think... oh, just 9 weeks of Basic, that's nothing. But then you got the next few weeks of advanced training, and depending on your job that can be just another couple of months to damn near half a year. I miss my sister so much.

@@Sandwichjelly-yf1zf I am, SC’s state hall is beautiful. Also it has 52 steps and this was a coincidence with the fact that the state house took 52 years to complete. And we have two priceless golden novelty’s, the mace and sword, both worth over 500,000 dollars.
I did 24 years in the Army and I have never heard any cadence and voice go this hard, now my son is also in the Army and the lyrics hit extremely different. Really felt this 🖤💪
This cadence is surprisingly deep. Basically it tells the story of a soldier who did die at war. His mama thought that he would die, his wife knew he would die, and his son... cried because his daddy died. Damn.... But the soldier, despite knowing of his impending demise, did what he needed to do to protect his wife and kids.
Nope: the original text of this cadence in the ending is: the day I left- i shook my dads hand He said that I- have become a man. There is nothing motivating singing about being dead, its more of we are in this shit together brotherhood. Yw
I’ll never forget the day I left for basic, I was sitting down making coffee, my mom walked in the kitchen, me and her never really saw eye to eye on much, always had a strained relationship. I noticed her walk in and we stared at each other for a moment then she just completely broke down and I broke down too and we just hugged each other for a while. So when I got to basic and we started singing and the DS said “..my momma cried..” I stopped singing. Thank God she’s still around, that day our relationship got so much better.

@@AZRAELIV their “help” is bombing hospitals full of women and children, killing millions of civilians, and claiming to be “liberating” those countries. I’m sure those people were glad as well
They're well intentioned and brainwashed. They are doing the dirty work of evil people. Joining the army would be an honourable thing if it was genuinely about defense.
@@AZRAELIV like I said, the soldiers might be mostly well intentioned but they aren't helping countries change, they are actually stopping them from changing. Afghanistan was a disaster for example. The US should have backed the Taliban continuously for the past few decades and slowly encouraged them to improve things. The Taliban are the only people in Afghanistan with any bravery. The "Afghan army" ran from the fight on the same day as America left. That was after over a decade of American training. Stop deluding yourself.

I’m 8 year Army veteran with 4 OIF tours, I saw every spectrum of that cadence. I was an unmarried only child who left home, I saw my buddies leave behind wives and children and brought a few home draped in flags. This one hit home on several points. Drive on Drill Sergeant! Drive on! #AATW
Carla Williams Louder is not always better which is a statement she alone proved. Higher pitches are easy to hear among lower pitches. Assuming that she was the only women in the block, she should have balanced her voice with the rest of the men instead of singing cadence with a shrill, at times out of tune, and out of balance voice.
Carla Williams What statement did I not finish? You realize there is a "Read More" tab right? Regardless of the number of women what I have said holds firm. Also, I am not being sexist. I am just stating what is true.
This guy is a drill sergeant, look at the way he's marching. He's a pro. He's been singing this cadence for more than 10 years I'd say, as a soldier in the ranks and then as a drill sergeant. And he's still choking back tears.
I will never forget when my father woke me up at about 3 or 4 in the morning when I was 8 years old and kissed me goodbye as he left for his deployment. Crazy experience for me not knowing if I would ever see him again. He eventually retired from the Army after 22 years of service and now he's doing well.
You can hear the raw emotion in his voice. We've all been there, brother. Leaving family behind to go and do what needs doing is always rough. But, as the saying goes, a soldier fights not because he hates what's in front of him, but because he loves what's behind him.
I left my home - to join the army I left my home - to join the army The day I left - my mama cried She though that I - would surely die I left my wife - crying at the door She knew that I - would die at war I left my son - playing in the yard Seeing daddy leave - made him cry so hard The day I left - I shook my daddy’s hand He said that I - had become a man
I loved calling cadence, and was adeptly good at it from the very beginning of my service. I still remember the day the drill pointed at me and said "448! Get in step and call cadence from left!". I didn't hesitate, fell out, took the left and busted out "V I C T O R Y". Shocked everyone because it was only day 5 and this private showed up to basic knowing about a dozen different cadences and no one was the wiser. Called cadence for the entirety of basic off and on, with the drills giving me new ones to remember. I must now know over 50 different cadences, and even in my after service veteran life find myself singing them fairly often. Really fun to sit around a bonfire with friends and have them repeat what I sing. They get to feel a small sense of the comradery that I felt when the platoon was all singing.
Proud to put my father’s name back on that uniform ! I remember the day I left he shed a tear. I was so proud when I made Sgt Ever since I was a child I wanted to walk in those footsteps
Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some good news with you all. Let's just put it this way, the Ten Commandments are called the Moral Law. Ask yourself this. How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used God's name in vein? Have you ever hated someone or ever looked with lust? This is for you to judge yourself, but chances are that you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, fornicating, adulterer at heart and you HAVE to face God on judgement day. Now ask yourself this. If God judges you on judgement day by these Commandments, will you be innocent or guilty? Of course you'll be guilty because we've all done these things. The truth is that none of us are good people and we NESD God's grace to make it to heaven. We judt simply cannot do it on our own. These Commandments arecalled the Moral Law. You and I broke the law, Jesus payed the fine. So now what we must do to be saved is to repent of our sins and trust alone in Jesus Christ! To repent doesn't mean to just say I'm sorry, but to turn from our sins and let Him truly be our Lord continually. He said that many will say to Him, Lord, Lord I have done all of these things for you. And He will say I never knew you. Depart from Me, ye who work iniquity! And those will be cast into outer darkness and raging hellfire and loneliness for all of eternity!!! Because we broke His law, He is very, very just to send us to hell. If someone had murdered 4 people and said to the judge, I've done nice things too and have tried to treat people nice but it was just one time, the judge would then say, okay but you're going to jail. And the judge is very just to do that. One last thing, if you were 10,000 feet in the air and you had to jump, you wouldn't jump out and flap your arms and try to save yourself. That's ridiculous! You would put on the parachute. It is the same with Jesus. You must trust Him as you trust the parachute. We are not good and we cannot save ourselves with our own goodness. We must trust alone in Him to save us. In just a moment of time you can pass from death to life. Jesus said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again." That is how we enter heaven. Through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ!!!!✝️If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God!!! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today.. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on us because we deserve it! But Christ died for us so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with Him!! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul!! "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️
My dad was an army veteran for iraq, now a soon to be lieutenant colonel and part of the jag corp, he told me that basic training was one of the most memorable times of his life. Best of luck to you brother.

As my dad told me, "You don't need to join the military to make me proud" if you're doing this just to follow in your grandpa's footsteps, I'd suggest re-thinking it, I'm still joining the army when I turn 18 because I want to. If you want to because you want to do it for yourself, then nothing shall stop you.

The cadence can be modified. In AIT the whole formation would go "uuuuuuu" as the ds would say that part. Kind of like a hype. The training aspect of the Army is the best because although it sucks to deal with ds, you do learn a lot of cadences
Drill, this makes my goosebumps stand up. I'm not military and this shit has me ready to run through a wall. Whatever it's worth, I thank you for this banging cadence and teaching those young recruits to be soldiers. Hooah.
Man I used to hate singing death cadences. *Drill Sgt* "Imma die on the field with a bullet in my leg, render combat aid while I'm left for dead"...... be like wait, Wtf? Lol
I am a 40 year old man and joined when I was 17. This cadence still motivates my old ass. This is but one of the many things I miss about the Army. Good on you battle. Motivating these fine warriors.
great cadence sang by a great cadence caller, but this is without a doubt the best marching I've see in a long time since my time in the Army. DS has them well squared and quartered in close orders. (If you don't believe watch the feet on the right, every step is on time) True discipline comes from close order drills and marching.
When my Drill Sergeant sang this song to my Unit back in Ft Leonard Wood '98... I was 28 yrs old and I had tears. But I sang with my heart with my daughter in mind. ALPHA 247!! LEADS DA WAY!!!
Bring back memories of being on the trail. Train recruits, teaching warrior task and battle drills. Was a true honor building Soldiers to defend our country.
Both my parents were in the army and I remember my dad leaving a lot when I was little, and every time he would leave to go on deployment, I removed the face my mom made. She seemed so heartbroken every time, and when he came back was my favourite thing in the world. We would be waiting and then he would walk to us and my whole family would run to him. After 23 years in the army, I still have him and I have never been more grateful.
So far this is the best cadence that I've heard. Even when I was at bootcamp (Navy)... we didn't have a more motivational way of expressing true feelings of what we were about to encounter.
agreed man, reminds me of my buddy Jonathan lol... he enlisted right after school and just tried to get the rest of us to enlist with him, he was a good dude... rest in power man...@@_sex
This hits hard, the reality of it all. This mixes the reality of the situation and seriousness of being a unit. It should make us all thankful for those willing to put their life’s on the line, and thankful for the men raising up the next men and women.

My drill sergeant sang this cadence as we marched off the field at graduation and headed to the bus to take us to the airport. Will never forget that moment! 🇺🇸
Just completed Basic, on my 4 day pass. I was a Student First for my Company This was my go to Song and having 140 other Trainees singing this cadence along with me in during a Company Mass is by far the most electrifying thing I've done. Props for this video showing me this song
I’m only 15 but my dads friend told me they sang this 4 days before fight. And the line, * “I LEFT MY MOM”* his friend in front of him burst out crying. Then got up and said there’s no time for crying! “His friend lost his leg and damaged half his body. But he’s alive and doing fine with his loving wife and son. ❤
I start my mornings with this cadence, and it fills me with gratitude and energy. It reminds me to appreciate every moment and everything I've been through. This song makes me love my life even more. Thank you all for your service!
Well, that's just great... now I can't hear it for the first time in basic training, because I just heard it now. I'm feeling ripped off by this video now. What if I wanted to join the army? Not like i was planning to, but still... They shouldve put a spoiler alert. Boo. Now I have zero hope to be 1% of the world.
I was one of that 1%. Nothing like shouting out those cadence calls as we marched in South Carolina summer heat! It was killer but I am so glad I stuck it out!!
That kind of chat boosts my fighting spirit during my training for military here in Philippines. This chants boosts your morale that gives you strenght to finish the training!
Nothing makes a long march go by quickly than someone belting out a great cadence. We had a former COGIC minister in my BCT class that sang a hymn in time to the road march that I saw two of my squad mates starting to well up. Great job to the Drill Sergeant.
I was so good at leading this cadence back in the day its some of my most fond memories. Just absolutely loved it, everyone got into it, by far the best cadence in my army tenure

This cadence is surprisingly deep. Basically it tells the story of a soldier who did die at war. His mama thought that he would die, his wife knew he would die, and his son... cried because his daddy died. Damn.... But the soldier, despite knowing of his impending demise, did what he needed to do to protect his wife and kids.

I’m no American nor in the army, but this hits me so hard (that) I can’t feel the air for a minute.
Hats off to the heroic souls.
Just wish they fought for a real cause
@@drip3889 they do , glad they exist. Forever grateful for the help given to us , Dont blame them if countries can't change even with their help.
@@AZRAELIV their “help” is bombing hospitals full of women and children, killing millions of civilians, and claiming to be “liberating” those countries. I’m sure those people were glad as well
They're well intentioned and brainwashed. They are doing the dirty work of evil people. Joining the army would be an honourable thing if it was genuinely about defense.
@@AZRAELIV like I said, the soldiers might be mostly well intentioned but they aren't helping countries change, they are actually stopping them from changing. Afghanistan was a disaster for example. The US should have backed the Taliban continuously for the past few decades and slowly encouraged them to improve things. The Taliban are the only people in Afghanistan with any bravery. The "Afghan army" ran from the fight on the same day as America left. That was after over a decade of American training. Stop deluding yourself.
This drill sergeant is amazing cadence was just enjoyable.
Ice Bac he definitely needs more uploaded.
no self respecting drill cant call a good cadence man. this is the norm.
This was my DS
Jeremiah Leinen what base ? Im going to enlist later on in the year
@@68W343 probably ft Benning or Jackson Benning has best cadence callers because the DS are from infantry that's what I've been told but unsure I can confirm after I ger through OSUT ship out June 6
This hit even if you not in the Army.
Facts it did, I can’t believe they still singing without breaking down
Facts
It hits 100 times harder if you are/were.
Yessir
Absolutely!!
I've been out of the Army for 30 years and marching cadences like this still put fire in my soul! I'd do it all over again if I could go back in time.
I'm sure you get this a lot and are tired of it but thank you for your service sir/maam

Been out ten years as of March and I'd give it a go again. Simpler times.

Rest In Peace to your fallen brothers & sisters they’re resting in a higher place now, thank you for serving this country.

Thank you for for your service!
I’m a Boy Scout, but after I seen drive on I thought of another cadence.
I'm not military but I come here often just to hear him sing. RESPECT!
Right? I have this video saved for just this reason. Makes you feel something ya know, just on the verge of tears each time. Quite humbling.
And from today so shall I
Some day a lot of us may be singing this song for real with how the world's going.
Same, I have so much respect for people like this.
Motivates me to stick to my commitments
Not gonna lie. Bad ass cadence, kind of jealous.
The navy sings this cadence too
ivan sinful Literally the only good Army Cadence, but still going Marines after HS lol
Yall missing out, the airforce is where it's at
The navy one is better
You haven't served one SECOND in the Army! Yet, you know every single Army cadence ever called, right?Man...These kids now a days!
I swear there's one Woman who stands out in this hole thing
David Webb she sounds like she's being electrocuted
therant311 for real , she's louder that the drill Sgt an the hole platoon combined
Carla Williams Louder is not always better which is a statement she alone proved. Higher pitches are easy to hear among lower pitches. Assuming that she was the only women in the block, she should have balanced her voice with the rest of the men instead of singing cadence with a shrill, at times out of tune, and out of balance voice.
Carla Williams What statement did I not finish? You realize there is a "Read More" tab right? Regardless of the number of women what I have said holds firm. Also, I am not being sexist. I am just stating what is true.
Carla Williams There is nothing crazy about what I said, but to each their own I guess.
This guy is a drill sergeant, look at the way he's marching. He's a pro. He's been singing this cadence for more than 10 years I'd say, as a soldier in the ranks and then as a drill sergeant. And he's still choking back tears.
I will never forget when my father woke me up at about 3 or 4 in the morning when I was 8 years old and kissed me goodbye as he left for his deployment. Crazy experience for me not knowing if I would ever see him again. He eventually retired from the Army after 22 years of service and now he's doing well.
When he said
MY MOMA CRIED
I felt that
same
Andy Cruz she really did 😌
My brother left too the army the day after his birthday. Our momma cried for days. And so did I
Oh yeah first time marching & singing this one I shed a tear. It hits hard
same here tho
Started looking into the Army after seeing this video trending. That was a couple years ago. Shipping to basic tomorrow.
Edit: made it!
Good shit man, hope everything goes good
Hope it's going well brodie 💪🏽
@Sebastian Scott damn lmfao
hows it going so far?
Hope u make it and protect this country. I’m saluting to u
this cadence always hits hard. first few times i sang it i couldn’t get past “the day i left, my mama cried” without choking up
@HuggyBear Johnson damn
Blessings to you!
You can hear the raw emotion in his voice. We've all been there, brother. Leaving family behind to go and do what needs doing is always rough.
But, as the saying goes, a soldier fights not because he hates what's in front of him, but because he loves what's behind him.
I left my home - to join the army
I left my home - to join the army
The day I left - my mama cried
She though that I - would surely die
I left my wife - crying at the door
She knew that I - would die at war
I left my son - playing in the yard
Seeing daddy leave - made him cry so hard
The day I left - I shook my daddy’s hand
He said that I - had become a man

DaisywithCat and also do you know what the last part was when he said *something* *something* United States
When even the drill sergeant is singing with his spirit, you know it's a moving cadence
hey
You can't deny that dude's voice is amazing
I loved calling cadence, and was adeptly good at it from the very beginning of my service. I still remember the day the drill pointed at me and said "448! Get in step and call cadence from left!". I didn't hesitate, fell out, took the left and busted out "V I C T O R Y". Shocked everyone because it was only day 5 and this private showed up to basic knowing about a dozen different cadences and no one was the wiser.
Called cadence for the entirety of basic off and on, with the drills giving me new ones to remember. I must now know over 50 different cadences, and even in my after service veteran life find myself singing them fairly often. Really fun to sit around a bonfire with friends and have them repeat what I sing. They get to feel a small sense of the comradery that I felt when the platoon was all singing.
Soldiers are better singers than most singers now a days

Beautiful story man
Thank you for your service, Sergeant. Keep up the great work.

Sarge, I'm an old man who fought too many wars. My main regret is not to have a drill instructor like you
Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some good news with you all. Let's just put it this way, the Ten Commandments are called the Moral Law. Ask yourself this. How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used God's name in vein? Have you ever hated someone or ever looked with lust? This is for you to judge yourself, but chances are that you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, fornicating, adulterer at heart and you HAVE to face God on judgement day. Now ask yourself this. If God judges you on judgement day by these Commandments, will you be innocent or guilty? Of course you'll be guilty because we've all done these things. The truth is that none of us are good people and we NESD God's grace to make it to heaven. We judt simply cannot do it on our own. These Commandments arecalled the Moral Law. You and I broke the law, Jesus payed the fine. So now what we must do to be saved is to repent of our sins and trust alone in Jesus Christ! To repent doesn't mean to just say I'm sorry, but to turn from our sins and let Him truly be our Lord continually. He said that many will say to Him, Lord, Lord I have done all of these things for you. And He will say I never knew you. Depart from Me, ye who work iniquity! And those will be cast into outer darkness and raging hellfire and loneliness for all of eternity!!! Because we broke His law, He is very, very just to send us to hell. If someone had murdered 4 people and said to the judge, I've done nice things too and have tried to treat people nice but it was just one time, the judge would then say, okay but you're going to jail. And the judge is very just to do that. One last thing, if you were 10,000 feet in the air and you had to jump, you wouldn't jump out and flap your arms and try to save yourself. That's ridiculous! You would put on the parachute. It is the same with Jesus. You must trust Him as you trust the parachute. We are not good and we cannot save ourselves with our own goodness. We must trust alone in Him to save us. In just a moment of time you can pass from death to life. Jesus said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again." That is how we enter heaven. Through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ!!!!✝️If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God!!! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today.. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on us because we deserve it! But Christ died for us so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with Him!! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul!! "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️

I put this on when I’m at the gym. Gives me motivation to keep pushing onwards.

Thank you, Sarge, for making me wanna push the state of Texas into the Gulf when my body wants to give upS
If you don’t know it drive on first platoon is a good cadence.
As my dad told me, "You don't need to join the military to make me proud" if you're doing this just to follow in your grandpa's footsteps, I'd suggest re-thinking it, I'm still joining the army when I turn 18 because I want to. If you want to because you want to do it for yourself, then nothing shall stop you.

great cadence sang by a great cadence caller, but this is without a doubt the best marching I've see in a long time since my time in the Army. DS has them well squared and quartered in close orders.

Both my parents were in the army and I remember my dad leaving a lot when I was little, and every time he would leave to go on deployment, I removed the face my mom made. She seemed so heartbroken every time, and when he came back was my favourite thing in the world. We would be waiting and then he would walk to us and my whole family would run to him. After 23 years in the army, I still have him and I have never been more grateful.
So far this is the best cadence that I've heard. Even when I was at bootcamp (Navy)... we didn't have a more motivational way of expressing true feelings of what we were about to encounter.

Nothing makes a long march go by quickly than someone belting out a great cadence. We had a former COGIC minister in my BCT class that sang a hymn in time to the road march that I saw two of my squad mates starting to well up. Great job to the Drill Sergeant.
I was so good at leading this cadence back in the day its some of my most fond memories. Just absolutely loved it, everyone got into it, by far the best cadence in my army tenure
Full lyrics:
Your Daddy was home when you left/ you‘re right
Your sister was home when you left/
You‘re right
Your brother was home when you left/
You‘re right
Your dad was home when you left/
You‘re right
Your cat was home when you left/
You‘re right
Your fish was home when you left/
You‘re right
You‘re Mommy, your Daddy, Your Brother Your Sister, the dog, the cat, the fish was home when you left/
You‘re right
And thats the reason you left/
You‘re right
I left my home/ I left my home
To join the army/ to join the army
I left my home/ I left my home
To join the army/ to join the army
The day I left/ the day I left
My momma cried/ my momma cried
She thought that I/ she thought that I
Would surely die/ would surely die
I left my wife/ I left my wife
Crying at the door/ crying at the door
She knew that I/ she knew that I
Would die at war/ would die at war
I left my son/ I left my son
Playing in the yard/ playing in the yard
See daddy leave/ see daddy leave
Made him cry so hard/ made him cry so hard
Oh we oh we/ oh we oh we
Oh we oh we/ oh we oh we
Oh we oh we/ oh we oh we
Column left, March!
We join the army/ we join the army
Follow me/ follow me
I know you can make it/ I know you can make it
I know you can take it/ I know you can take it
Follow the man in the green bray/ follow the man in the green bray
This stuff is how he earns his pay/
This stuff is how he earns his pay
It's cut out by the first part would be "Your mommy was home when you left ./ you're right.
Oof I know you heard Dad instead of dog, but it was dog instead of Dad, oof
so you tellin me that i been scowering the lows of youtube for these damn words and all i had to do was come to the comments? fuck.
LOL this one kinda made my day because I watch the vid like 5 times in a row trying to memorize it. Good to see I'm not the only fucktard in the building. lol
You know, "Column left, march" is not part of the cadence right? lol Thanks for this though.
The Drill Sergeant walks with such purpose
One of my cousins who joined infantry in army, i showed him this video and he was in awe and now i made it my hell since him and his brother force me on runs and he'll recite this and I'm glad he found it inspiring since i know the words resonate with him very much.
The drill sergeants voice is so beautiful and still brings tears to me every time I watch this
Thanks Dad for your service; I salute you. Volunteered to the Army (Korea). He was on the front line for the last major north korean assault. My dad came home along with 6 of his buddies out of an entire division. My Hat is off and salute to all your buddys that paid the ultimate price. Rest in Peace with Honor.
I love how they are supposed to be so serious but they can really sing
