AS a Service Connected Disabled American Veteran I feel Survivors guilt every day and wish that I was the one who never came home. I cry out for my brothers and Sisters in arms. I served with the very best . I only wish that it was me who passed and not them! I feel that I failed them but I thank God for this Song and everyone of them they are the only Family I ever Truly Had May God Still bless them and the Surviving Family they had. Sgt D
You tell your father for me thanks for keeping us free. The next time your out and you see a shoulder walking towards you with a hat that says what ever war they served in reach out your hand and say thanks for keeping us free. You will see in his eyes your gratitude that is felt deeper beyond that hand you reach out to thank him.
@@TheJBELL02 My father is a WW2 veteran as well. He is in Heaven with your dad and countless others. This might ease your pain little, there are not many men left from that war. When your out and about and you see an individual coming your way and you see that hat that says veteran, Vietnam nam etc reach your hand out and thank them for keeping us free. I have never had a negative response, there face lights up. And if the time comes and l don't get a positive response, l will apologize, but l will not let it stop me from reaching out my hand. We never really ever know it might just be what someone needs to pull them through a difficult memory, time etc. If our intentions are meant to be good and sincere how could we lose.
My Dad gave all. Three tours in Vietnam and was awarded 5 Purple Hearts. He lost his leg during the war and Agent Orange took his life 27 Years ago today (5/3/97). I was 17 years old when the cancer that was caused by it spread all through him and took him. To me this is my dads song. Thank You Billy Ray for letting our fallen vets live on in your words. Rest in Peace SGT. Craig D. Treaster. Love You and will always Miss You.
God bless your father and every vet who served in Vietnam. They never got the warm welcome they deserved but true Americans are thankful for their sacrifices. We sleep peacefully at night because of people like your father.
I am not an American, but this song/tribute brings tears to my eyes, my father "Gave All" in WWII. You dont have to be "American" to understand and feel the sentiment.
God bless all who serve our country! Never forget those that gave all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Spec 4 Jimmy Flynt and Capt Charles Watters 173rd Airborne Dak to Nov, 1967
My dad was a Sky Soldier, 173rd Airborne 1965-66. Luckily he made it home. Actually, he was extremely lucky. My mom's brother, uncle Jack to me, 1st Infantry (the big red one), was in Nam the same time as dad. Unfortunately, uncle Jack was KIA. My mom's family requested that my dad escort Jack's body home. The Army granted dad two weeks leave to do so. While my dad was home during those two weeks, his whole platoon was killed in an ambush. Though i never got to meet uncle Jack, i wasn't born until '73, he will forever be my hero. Inadvertently through his death, he saved my dad's life. Thank you uncle Jack, i will forever be grateful to you and to every U.S. soldier who gave all, RIP.
Billy Ray Cyrus performed this at the funeral of Corey Comperatore, the retired fireman who was tragically killed in Butler, PA July 13th. A fitting tribute to this patriot. We salute you, sir.
I came here after reading in the new story that this song was sung. I'm sorry to say I didn't know this song. I'm glad to say i know it now. Rest in Peace, FC Corey Comperatore. May God comfort and bless your family.
my dad and my grandpa served in the united states (US) army my dad is still alive but my grandpa died from septis infection in the 80's my dad has two nebraska army license plates god bless my dad even my grandpa and all of the men and women that served in the US military such a wonderful song for veterans day and memorial day
AMEN! The young people should see and hear this video. Too many of them don't fully understand the TRUE meaning behind Memorial Day and Veterans Day. SO SAD!💔💔💔
Sorry about your brother. So thankful him and his fellows soldiers fought so bravely to bring peace and keep our country free. Me and my family are forever indebted. 🇺🇸
I’m so sorry. Such horrible pain losing a sibling. We are a family of 9 kids and we lost our middle brother. It hurts so bad. We were the closet family I knew of. We are no longer close after he passed away. His death broke all of us apart. We are from a long line of military since the Rev War to win this country. God bless your brother and all our military.
If this song doesn’t move you...You’re a coldhearted bastard. I hoist a beer for my brothers and sisters in all branches of the service who have died in the name of liberty, and several, that I know personally, I escorted back home.Your voices echo from the past and keep us strong. We are the last to let you down. Semper Fi.
Thank you sir! God bless you and all of your fellow veterans for your sacrifices! Unfortunately I was not able to serve due to a birth defect, but I love and respect all of you for serving!
@@jimmymiller7568 Another year and for once we are not at war with anyone on the world stage. Now, the war is in our own country. Being destroyed from the inside Tearing our people apart. Things that used to unify us now cause divide. An insurrection of the worst kind leaves our people restless. In all our history as a country I have never seen or heard of such strong distaste and dislike for our president and Congress. Will there be a war? Another Civil War? Have we failed as soldiers to protect our country from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC?
@@pmritzen2597 you’re correct. By the insurrection is very questionable. Most who were there, because of the disgust both parties have done. They’re the ones dividing this country. Installing a demented pedophile as a puppet with a joker, is a distraction so that they can keep pushing their agenda. Congress is a disgrace. They’re the ones holding power, not a sitting President. Doesn’t matter if they elected (installed) or if we the people elected him. Ridiculous. How do people not see this?
For my childrens daddy: SSgt. Michael A McCauley. September, 2006, Afghanistan. We miss you every single day. I will NEVER let your children forget you. You are OUR American Hero.
As a 10 year Army Veteran who served 4 war deployments, I would say who gave it all are the wives, husbands, parents, children and lovers of those soldiers who did not make it back. Until we meet again.
Thank you for saying children as well! You are the first person I've seen say children in your comment. People think that children didnt do anything during the war but they did. They had to watch their mom or dad go to war!
I was a Canadian soldier, served in Bosnia 1994-95. My best friend in the world was killed on March 15/95. I was there when Jack gave all. I visit his grave on the anniversary. I leave a quarter on his headstone every year. This song breaks me every time I hear it, it's haunting.
Our Father Titan 1970 in Vietnam I was born in 68 so I never had a chance to meet him I enlisted in the Marine Corps after 8 years that was enough for me I understand and feel what you're saying take care brother
This is my favorite Patriotic song ever if not the Best! God bless and good job brother's and sisters welcome home if your seeing this😉👍🇺🇲🇮🇪🇩🇪🍻🥂🍺🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲if not 👣😢 and last but not least thank you Billy for writing and singing such a meaningful and beautiful song brother! 🇺🇲
If you liked this song, you may like this one also, Angel Flight (Radio Tower Remix) w/Lyrics uploaded by LtThompsonCS. It's a tribute to fallen soldiers taking their final flight home. Very beautiful. Thank you sir, for your service. God Bless You.
I knew 6 of your countrymen when I was in Vietnam. We worked it together on ambush teams every night. They were some of the bravest men I have ever known!
God bless his soul. 😢 He died for a pointless war politicians lied to us to get involved in. Sadly. Just like my friends in Iraq. It pains me to look back and realize it was all for nothing. Devastating. God bless all those men, they died for those next to them. Damn the politicians that sent them there to die.
I miss my brother every minute of every day. His name was Jason he served in Iraq he came home well half of him did. He was diagnosed with PTSD one night he took his life and now is in heaven. I miss you so much.
Thank you for your service! Had it not been for you putting your life on the line nobody would have the FREEDOM WE DO TODAY! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Thanks Marsha, I hope & pray that the USA will always remember and show our heroes the thanks & respect they deserve. Happy 4th of July to all Americans.

This is such a powerful song and beautifully sung by Billy Ray. My father was in WW2 and my brother was also a soldier. Both came home . Thank you to all the soldiers who have fought in all the wars. I salute you all.
@@lindadavisdowd284 hello Linda I’m overwhelmed with the love that my Fans shed for me, I am grateful and glad to know that I mean so much to my Fans! I am very thankful to my fans and I love them all and I am trying my best to live up to their expectation. Love them all! Are you one of my great fans out there?
My son also served in US Air force he came home after deployment we were home alone when he told me he was in Afghanistan looking for road side bombs I left the room and wept Thank you my precious son for your service . Love Dad
1:23 My sweet daddy was killed in Vietnam 5/1/67, when I was 7. Maj Charles C “Cliff” Jones. He was a helicopter pilot, killed near Ben Hoa airstrip. He was 32 and that war left my mom a 32 year old widow, with a 7 and 9 year old to raise alone. She’s now 88 and I’m 64. There are still songs like this one, Angel Flight, If You’re Reading This, Arlington, and others who still make me weep. Thanks to all who served and to all who have all for the freedom we still have. I can’t help wonder what he’d think of what this country has become today. RIP daddy. ❤
Half of this country is so unpatriotic it makes me sick. If we don't take back the country in this upcoming presidential election we are finished as the country we all knew. The democrats are out to destroy the country and have almost accomplished it in 3 1/2 years. The yshould be charged with treason for putting their 12 million chosen people before our Veterans. It's a total disgrace.
All I can say is Thank You ALL. I can’t imagine for those families…. that they didn’t come home. My brother served, but, did come home., for which I am thankful!
Hello Judie Thanks for your utmost love and support that has brought me this far, it has been a hard time for me going through this, but your love and support keep me going and standing strong in these difficult times. I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all. It's the season of love for me & so I decided to put smiles on the faces of my fans by going through old posts on my official page and hitting up random fans, so I can get to relate with my fans better through discussions of depth and humor, listening to compliments and criticisms on my career work. Where are you watching from?
I'm from NewZealand and my late dad was a medic in WW2. I salute and pay tribute to all for their service to their country, and for those who paid the ultimate price I wish you peace❤️
Hello Sharon I must say that I have enormous respect for you considering the manner in which I have made contact with you. I am very glad you are a fan of mine. Where are you watching from?
My father spent four years in the US Navy in two years in the US Air Force he was on the USS wasp during the Korean conflict he passed away in 2012 he is and always will be my hero I miss you daddy
Sorry for your loss of your Daddy ...We Thank-you and Him for his Service and Sacrifices on behalf of our Country.....We Honor Him and His Family....A long held Salute to you Daddy ....God Bless You and Keep You ....
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO HAVE PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE PROTECTING & FIGHTING FOR OUR COUNTRY, MY FAMILY AND MY CHILDREN'S FUTURE. WE PRAY FOR YOU EVERYDAY THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
@@alannagray8411 Australia and the United States share the honor of fighting to defend other countries even though ours weren’t directly threatened during WWII (not like other countries at least) because we knew it was the right thing to do.
@@Quincy_Morris The US was already quietly supporting the war by sending arms to Britain without a payment agreement in the winter of 1940 and in July 1941 Marines were sent to Iceland to relieve a British garrison there as well as providing naval escorts to British ships n open waters.. The US then also placed sanctions on Japan cutting off their oil supply along with the Dutch and the British in Indochina. This followed by the American-controlled Philippines having the potential to block shipping routes from southeast Asia to Japan caused Tokyo to decide to a mount pre-emptive attack against both the Philippines and the American fleet at Pearl Harbour at the same time. This of course infuriated the US and they entered the war in their fullest capacity in 1941.

@@rob29209 Shameful isn't it...it's sort of like the disrespect the Vietnam Vets received coming home because of the actions of people like Jane Fonda (who NEVER served) just like those that take a knee.
Our Veterans are so mistreated! Of all people, why! They come home after fighting and many have PTSD! Who wouldn't after all they have seen! They need special treatment, jobs, good places to live! God blessed them all to be able to come home! Now, treat them like the heroes they are!
When I hear about a veteran being homeless, makes my heart hurt! That person fought for our freedom and we cannot make sure they have food and a place to sleep! Shame on US! Something is very wrong with this Government! Very wrong!
There are places here locally that have hired our vets and they continue to hire them every opportunity they get. There is a taxi company down around the corner from where i live. One of my drivers is a vet and when he told me that. I broke down and cried because i was proud of having a vet as a driver and i thanked him so many times for his service and then he told me that his brother also served and it really touched my heart to know that and i told him to tell his brother thank you for his service
Thank you Rhonda as a Nam Vet it does my heart good to see that there are people like that understand and appreciates my and brothers and sister"s service.
Someone with a lot of power blackballed Billy Ray's career. This man has more talent than most of today's stars. His tv series was great as well. Many excellent tunes in his lineup.
April 29, 2023 I was on the "BLUE RIDGE HONOR FLIGHT" out of Asheville, NC. We hit DC, and all of the war memorials. Arlington was good, but being a Vietnam vet, the WALL was great. I left a set of ribbons for a friend ... and a lot of tears. Almost a month later, I'm still clearing my tear ducts. God bless those whose gave ALL, and those of us who could have.
Thank you for your service. I am also a Vietnam Veteran, on U.S. Navy destroyers. 15 months there. 7 months rotating between the gunline off the coast of South Vietnam, escorting carriers at Yankee Station in the Gulf of Tonkin and time heading to ports or from ports and time in ports. My last 8 months were off the coast of North Vietnam after the Easter Offensive in 1972.
@@davidsoule1252 thank you also for your service, and welcome home. I was a flat top guy, and spent 12 to 14 hrs a day on the roof. I was there in '69 on the Kitty Hawk. My squadron dropped the first million pounds of ordnance on targets of the cruise. I was AO. Hardest I've EVER worked in my life. 😊. I'm in SC, how about you? God bless, and again, welcome home.
@@davidsoule1252 what part of MN?? I lived in Worthington when I was a kid. South West corner. We used too go camping at Lake Shetek state park. We camped at Itasca and a few others. Lived there about 5 years.
as a USAF Vietnam Vet this just pulls at my heart. I will never forget all my buddies that did not come back with me. one friend who died over there in the marines told me live for those of us that did not make it back, I have tried to live my life too the fullest in support of him. but I was blessed my other friend I served with over there later on in my career in the navy we were stationed on the same ship together. we call each other all the time.
Viet Nam was so screwed up for me that we never got closer than protocol. But, we are all Brothers that transcend time and wars for the sake of presevring this greatest of Nations! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Thank you for your service from Vietnam. We Vietnamese people will never forget those who sacrificed their lives fighting for Vietnam freedom from Communism
Miss you dad., your son, Jon. My father was a Korean War Vet & a Undefeated Gold Glove Boxer, and a great marksman. He gave all. I stopped by your grave site today and put another kick ass American Flag on your site for you. And to tell you that I really miss you every single day.
As a veteran I feel so sad for those that are mentioned in this song. I served but my time was during peace and the cold war. Life just isn't fair. So many sacrificed while so many others neglect what they have here in the Red, White, and Blue!
We salute to your husband thank u for his services I am over here on the other side of the world fighting for our freedom still so we will continue to protect the great nation

Thank you Billy Ray Cyrus for this Awesome video and most BEAUTIFUL song. 😍 A shout out to all of our brave men and women who have fought for our freedoms in this country just like Jesus died to give us. God has seen all of our blood sweat and tears that helped to build this great nation. We've protected Israel like the Bible instructed and Jesus is returning. I Love You ALL!!! 🤟🏻🎚️❤️
Not any American or human being should ever give this song a thumbs down!!!! This song says it all right here!!! It tears at my heart ❤💙💜 strings evertime I listen to it. I served in the Air Force back in 93 but my Dad served 23 years in the Air National Guard. I miss him so much! I love you Dad!❤
I would like to take a moment and dedicate this song to a close friend of mine SSGT Michael Rowe who paid the ultimate price, 26 yrs old is way to young but I thank the Lord every chance I can for his sacrifice!
Thanks so much for your service Mr SSGT Michael Rowe.. I thank you so much for all your help and support for us being free. You paid the ultimate price my friend.... You won't be forgotten my friend. We already know your in a better place than us down here on Earth .. I know a few people up there I hope to see again. I hope to meet you to one day. Hats off to ya brother from a Good Ole boy 44 from Kentucky.
My Great Grandpa Earl Washburn served in WWII and my Grandpa Paul Thompson in Vietnam. My mom did two tours in Kuwait as well during her 20 years in the Navy. I'm proud of every single one of them.
God bless your family! So sad how some people are numb to the fact that people like your great grandpa, your grandpa, and your mom risked their lives for people that they didn't know their names.
A few days ago, a woman heard I was a vet and she told me, "thank you for my freedom". It meant a lot to me. I lost my wife in service when the c130 that was transporting her went down. I am thankful for those that are appreciative of what we lost for that freedom.
I would like to dedicate this song to my adopted nephew who lost his life Wednesday night during a traffic stop; he wanted nothing more than to be a police officer. He gave all to serve and protect his community, and I'm proud to call him family. Rest in peace Officer Joe Burson; I love you nephew.

I am dealing with this every day of my life as I watch my husband dying from agent Orange effects from Vietnam. He doesn't complain. He has made peace, but I still struggle.
Whenever I get angry or frustrated with what’s going on in our country, I always listen to this song to remind me that above all I’m an American, and countless lives were lost so that I can say that
I love this song. I served and did a small part where others gave their last breath for this country. I owe a debt to my brothers who left us too soon.
God Bless All who "Gave All" so we can live in this beautiful country and enjoy so many freedoms. What a Great song...Very appropriate for Memorial Day!
RANDAL, LEWIS. CRABTREE " Branch of Service {Army} - Casualty of Vietnam War Year 1969. I dedicate this song to him. And so many other's who fought and died. For America. And American Freedom. We sometimes allow it to slip our minds. That Freedom isn't free. Someone has to die for every second of freedom we as Americans enjoy on a daily basis. These are usually very young men and women. Not much older than 19 & 20 year's old. This is an amazing Patriotic song. One of my favorite ones of all... GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
Peggy Bernath I agree with you on that one. This song says it all about the men and women of the United States of America. If it wasn't for them, this country wouldn't be what it is today. So many had to die. So we could continue on with our daily lives. And live happily with our family's and friends.
@@patrickyoung2117 Elegant, and Eloquent. Thank-You for putting feet to the fire. I could not have said it better. Thank-You All, this day, Memorial Day 5/25/20 for your Service and Sacrifice. As is said, "Freedom is not free" as you well know. Again, THANK-YOU ALL, please pass it along Mr. Young/Patrick.
They shall not grow old, as we that are left, grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
Everytime I nhear this song I am reminded that sometimes heroes came home, but they were never the same. War is Hell Truth 100% To all that served & fought so we could be free. Thank You from the bo%om of my he@rt.
I am an old vet, and I liked this song when it first came out, I will be listening to it till I die. I got out of the army 43 years ago. It is a great true song.
How blessed you were to have him, I'll bet. One from "The Greatest Generation!" They just don't make them like that any more. I truly am sorry for your loss.
My Grandfather went to war, was mustard gassed and died in his 40's. It was a terrible death being unable to breathe, my Mother told me. I never got to meet him as he passed before I was born. He gave all, and his family paid a high price for the freedoms they r now trying to take away!

From a proud Vietnam veteran's daughter turned Army veteran's wife this song has a very strong connection in my heart. #lovemycountry #ripdad #proudveteranswife

Yes, thank you to those families who lost a father, a husband, a son or daughter fighting against oppression and for democracy. Thank you to those who are fighting now and those who fought for my freedom.
July 27, 1995 - Billy Ray Cyrus performs "Some Gave All" at the dedication of the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Twenty years ago today!
BILLY RAY WASN'T TAKEN SERIOUSLY BACK IN THE DAY ... BUT WHEN I HEARD HIM SING THIS SONG... I KNEW HE HAD A LOVE FOR OUR SOLIDERS AND HIS COUNTRY .... SOME GAVE ALL...... # NEVER FORGET 👈.....🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I remember my uncle Mike on this day and the wonderful man he is and was. I love my country and Gods country and I want the country back we once knew and loved .
I am a Canadian but i RESPECT this song. Be proud of your country, hold respect for those that made you free. Stand and salute the national anthem. These men , boys, and women fought and gave their lives paying the ultimate price for your freedom. GOD BLESS THEM ALL!!!!
Also Canadian and so very grateful to the military on both sides of the border. We all must remember and respect that”Freedom is not Free.” There is a price to be paid and these soldiers stepped up and did it for all of us.
This country owes EVERYTHING to our vets! God bless them and their families. The sacrifices are unmentionable! It is time that we take care of them without thought and without price as they did in all of their selfless acts!
I agree and these damn young fucks that think it's "cool" and "hip" to disrespect the nation and all that represent it whether person, flag or anthem, truly are FUBAR....No pledge in the classroom, no respect for vets...The reason they spit on vets and hate the anthem?? Truth is they know they cannot measure up and they hate them not for being a vet but for showing them up...Before they were even born these men and women were better citizens and human beings then they are or will ever be....So shop at your local starbucks and order something that makes you feel worldly but remember that whenever you raise your nose from that screen, these vets will be better than you ever will be...They get a discount on coffee and fast food, YOU get to live your life without fear, without oppression and without limitations on what you can achieve only set by your actions...You squeamish little pissants that disrespect our vets are the reason we need an army, creatures like you live abroad and wish us, INCLUDING YOU, harm, and those vets and future vets will have protected you from it....Happy tweeting, kiddos! You wanna spit somewhere? Do it directly up and wait a moment!
I say the veterans deserve the benefits and housing not the f**king illegal immigrants ILLEGALLY coming into our country taking the jobs, housing, and benefits that our veterans deserve more than them
my uncle gave all in Iraq. bless him and all yalls families. my grandad took a bullet in Vietnam almost taking his leg with em. freedom will never be free. I'm 15 I am enlisting in 3 years for the Marines.
This has ALWAYS been one of my FAVORITE Billy Ray Cyrus songs!!! Been on repeat all day 🫡 Thank you for your service 🫡 My Great Grandpa was a Canadian WW11 Veteran Jacob Grant
This is good stuff. A classic. Makes me tear up every time I hear it, especially thinking how far this nation has fallen from the “greatest generation.” We mustn’t ever let their sacrifices be in vain.
My second dad was a Sgt. General in WWII and he served his country proudly back then and he fell December 15th 2006 and today is his birthday and he would be turning 100 years old if he was still here with me but that's why I love this song for him

I am not an American, but this song/tribute brings tears to my eyes, my father "Gave All" in WWII. You dont have to be "American" to understand and feel the sentiment.
Amen brother
Thank your dad for his service may be rest in peace
Thank your dad for his all sacrifice! 🙏🏻💕
British ?
You don't have to be an American to be a good person. God bless you.
God bless all who serve our country! Never forget those that gave all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Spec 4 Jimmy Flynt and Capt Charles Watters 173rd Airborne Dak to Nov, 1967
My dad was a Sky Soldier, 173rd Airborne 1965-66. Luckily he made it home. Actually, he was extremely lucky. My mom's brother, uncle Jack to me, 1st Infantry (the big red one), was in Nam the same time as dad. Unfortunately, uncle Jack was KIA. My mom's family requested that my dad escort Jack's body home. The Army granted dad two weeks leave to do so. While my dad was home during those two weeks, his whole platoon was killed in an ambush.
Though i never got to meet uncle Jack, i wasn't born until '73, he will forever be my hero. Inadvertently through his death, he saved my dad's life.
Thank you uncle Jack, i will forever be grateful to you and to every U.S. soldier who gave all, RIP.
my brother para trooped in, rest in peace william Bowman

I always think about my Friend Billy,who died in Nam.Thank you for my Freedom.
Some of my HS classmates died in 'Nam.
Billy Ray Cyrus performed this at the funeral of Corey Comperatore, the retired fireman who was tragically killed in Butler, PA July 13th. A fitting tribute to this patriot. We salute you, sir.
I came here after reading in the new story that this song was sung. I'm sorry to say I didn't know this song. I'm glad to say i know it now. Rest in Peace, FC Corey Comperatore. May God comfort and bless your family.
Some gave way too much😮💨
Live a few minutes away from him. Probably talked to him when my scout troops visited the VFD
Every Memorial Day. Every Veterans Day.
This song should be an anthem to those who have served & sacrificed.
Thank you for your service.
my dad and my grandpa served in the united states (US) army my dad is still alive but my grandpa died from septis infection in the 80's my dad has two nebraska army license plates god bless my dad even my grandpa and all of the men and women that served in the US military such a wonderful song for veterans day and memorial day
AMEN! The young people should see and hear this video. Too many of them don't fully understand the TRUE meaning behind Memorial Day and Veterans Day. SO SAD!💔💔💔
I absolutely agree.
AMEN!
Memorial u mean veterans live to old age
My brother died as a Green Beret in Vietnam I still listen to this song every day and yes I still cry everyday
🇺🇸🗽♥️
Sorry about your brother. So thankful him and his fellows soldiers fought so bravely to bring peace and keep our country free. Me and my family are forever indebted. 🇺🇸
❤️🇺🇸🙏
God-bless u
I’m so sorry. Such horrible pain losing a sibling. We are a family of 9 kids and we lost our middle brother. It hurts so bad. We were the closet family I knew of. We are no longer close after he passed away. His death broke all of us apart. We are from a long line of military since the Rev War to win this country. God bless your brother and all our military.
If this song doesn’t move you...You’re a coldhearted bastard. I hoist a beer for my brothers and sisters in all branches of the service who have died in the name of liberty, and several, that I know personally, I escorted back home.Your voices echo from the past and keep us strong. We are the last to let you down. Semper Fi.
Thank you sir! God bless you and all of your fellow veterans for your sacrifices! Unfortunately I was not able to serve due to a birth defect, but I love and respect all of you for serving!
Indeed sir
@@jimmymiller7568 Another year and for once we are not at war with anyone on the world stage. Now, the war is in our own country. Being destroyed from the inside Tearing our people apart. Things that used to unify us now cause divide. An insurrection of the worst kind leaves our people restless. In all our history as a country I have never seen or heard of such strong distaste and dislike for our president and Congress. Will there be a war? Another Civil War? Have we failed as soldiers to protect our country from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC?
@@pmritzen2597 you’re correct. By the insurrection is very questionable. Most who were there, because of the disgust both parties have done. They’re the ones dividing this country. Installing a demented pedophile as a puppet with a joker, is a distraction so that they can keep pushing their agenda. Congress is a disgrace. They’re the ones holding power, not a sitting President. Doesn’t matter if they elected (installed) or if we the people elected him. Ridiculous. How do people not see this?
Amen, for all the crap they talk about Billy Ray they ignore this song and that is sad!
Thank You for this song Billy Ray. This Flatwoods Ky gal is a 100% disabled Army Veteran thought of this song when I deployed to Kuwait and Iraq.

I'm so sorry for your loss, he is a great person. A hero indeed.
As a 10 year Army Veteran who served 4 war deployments, I would say who gave it all are the wives, husbands, parents, children and lovers of those soldiers who did not make it back. Until we meet again.
Thank you for saying that. The emptiness is so hard. I appreciate your service and sacrifice for my liberty and freedom.
Very truly said !
Thank you for saying children as well! You are the first person I've seen say children in your comment. People think that children didnt do anything during the war but they did. They had to watch their mom or dad go to war!

Thank you Peter Fischer for serving!! From one USA marine daughter god bless the world and all those served!
Thank you Peter Fischer!
I knew 6 of your countrymen when I was in Vietnam. We worked it together on ambush teams every night. They were some of the bravest men I have ever known!
My daddy gave all for this country in Vietnam in 1967. He was a helicopter pilot. Thanks for these words of gratitude for all who fought.
@Holly Thank you for the cheers and incredible love. How are you today?
God bless his soul. 😢 He died for a pointless war politicians lied to us to get involved in. Sadly. Just like my friends in Iraq. It pains me to look back and realize it was all for nothing. Devastating. God bless all those men, they died for those next to them. Damn the politicians that sent them there to die.
I miss my brother every minute of every day. His name was Jason he served in Iraq he came home well half of him did. He was diagnosed with PTSD one night he took his life and now is in heaven. I miss you so much.
This Veteran cried … I hope you know why.
Thank you sir big salute Happy Independence Day🇺🇸
Thank you for your service! Had it not been for you putting your life on the line nobody would have the FREEDOM WE DO TODAY! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

He was 32 and that war left my mom a 32 year old widow, with a 7 and 9 year old to raise alone. She’s now 88 and I’m 64. There are still songs like this one, Angel Flight, If You’re Reading This, Arlington, and others who still make me weep.

My dad two tour combat died by drunk driver 😢
People today forget the message of this song..
Half of this country is so unpatriotic it makes me sick. If we don't take back the country in this upcoming presidential election we are finished as the country we all knew. The democrats are out to destroy the country and have almost accomplished it in 3 1/2 years. The yshould be charged with treason for putting their 12 million chosen people before our Veterans. It's a total disgrace.
All I can say is Thank You ALL. I can’t imagine for those families…. that they didn’t come home. My brother served, but, did come home., for which I am thankful!

I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all.

Thanks to the down under mates, too.
@@alannagray8411 Australia and the United States share the honor of fighting to defend other countries even though ours weren’t directly threatened during WWII (not like other countries at least) because we knew it was the right thing to do.
@@Quincy_Morris The US was already quietly supporting the war by sending arms to Britain without a payment agreement in the winter of 1940 and in July 1941 Marines were sent to Iceland to relieve a British garrison there as well as providing naval escorts to British ships n open waters.. The US then also placed sanctions on Japan cutting off their oil supply along with the Dutch and the British in Indochina. This followed by the American-controlled Philippines having the potential to block shipping routes from southeast Asia to Japan caused Tokyo to decide to a mount pre-emptive attack against both the Philippines and the American fleet at Pearl Harbour at the same time. This of course infuriated the US and they entered the war in their fullest capacity in 1941.
Not just Americans also us Canadians who gave ALL!!

yes I agree HOOAH US Army 21B Combat Engineer veteran
Our Veterans are so mistreated! Of all people, why! They come home after fighting and many have PTSD! Who wouldn't after all they have seen! They need special treatment, jobs, good places to live! God blessed them all to be able to come home! Now, treat them like the heroes they are!
It's shame. The politicians and seat warmers are shamed by the strength of those who fight.
I work with the DAV, to promote better life circumstances for them. The old system still prevails with some small improvements, though!
When I hear about a veteran being homeless, makes my heart hurt! That person fought for our freedom and we cannot make sure they have food and a place to sleep! Shame on US! Something is very wrong with this Government! Very wrong!
There are places here locally that have hired our vets and they continue to hire them every opportunity they get. There is a taxi company down around the corner from where i live. One of my drivers is a vet and when he told me that. I broke down and cried because i was proud of having a vet as a driver and i thanked him so many times for his service and then he told me that his brother also served and it really touched my heart to know that and i told him to tell his brother thank you for his service
Thank you Rhonda as a Nam Vet it does my heart good to see that there are people like that understand and appreciates my and brothers and sister"s service.
Someone with a lot of power blackballed Billy Ray's career. This man has more talent than most of today's stars. His tv series was great as well. Many excellent tunes in his lineup.

A few days ago, a woman heard I was a vet and she told me, "thank you for my freedom". It meant a lot to me. I lost my wife in service when the c130 that was transporting her went down. I am thankful for those that are appreciative of what we lost for that freedom.
I would like to dedicate this song to my adopted nephew who lost his life Wednesday night during a traffic stop; he wanted nothing more than to be a police officer. He gave all to serve and protect his community, and I'm proud to call him family. Rest in peace Officer Joe Burson; I love you nephew.

Whenever I get angry or frustrated with what’s going on in our country, I always listen to this song to remind me that above all I’m an American, and countless lives were lost so that I can say that
I love this song. I served and did a small part where others gave their last breath for this country. I owe a debt to my brothers who left us too soon.
Thank you for your service
God Bless All who "Gave All" so we can live in this beautiful country and enjoy so many freedoms. What a Great song...Very appropriate for Memorial Day!
RANDAL, LEWIS. CRABTREE " Branch of Service {Army} - Casualty of Vietnam War Year 1969. I dedicate this song to him. And so many other's who fought and died. For America. And American Freedom. We sometimes allow it to slip our minds. That Freedom isn't free. Someone has to die for every second of freedom we as Americans enjoy on a daily basis. These are usually very young men and women. Not much older than 19 & 20 year's old. This is an amazing Patriotic song. One of my favorite ones of all... GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
Peggy Bernath I agree with you on that one. This song says it all about the men and women of the United States of America. If it wasn't for them, this country wouldn't be what it is today. So many had to die. So we could continue on with our daily lives. And live happily with our family's and friends.
@@patrickyoung2117 Elegant, and Eloquent. Thank-You for putting feet to the fire. I could not have said it better. Thank-You All, this day, Memorial Day 5/25/20 for your Service and Sacrifice. As is said, "Freedom is not free" as you well know.
Again, THANK-YOU ALL, please pass it along Mr. Young/Patrick.
They shall not grow old, as we that are left, grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
I am a vietnam vet. This song still brings tears to my eyes😮
After all these years since first hearing it. It still makes my chest swell with pride, and my eyes tear up.
Everytime I nhear this song I am reminded that sometimes heroes came home, but they were never the same. War is Hell Truth 100% To all that served & fought so we could be free. Thank You from the bo%om of my he@rt.
❤
My great grand father served in the marines R.I.P💔 great grand father
I'll miss you so much😭😭😭😭
This song is so special, I cry every time that I listen to it.. Thank you, Billy Ray for recording this song...
I am an old vet, and I liked this song when it first came out, I will be listening to it till I die. I got out of the army 43 years ago. It is a great true song.
This song makes me cry 😭. I lost my Grandfather last year. He served in WW2 and defeated two bouts of cancer from serving on the ships.
How blessed you were to have him, I'll bet. One from "The Greatest Generation!" They just don't make them like that any more. I truly am sorry for your loss.
Kids today should be listening to this.
Yes!! My daughter, who is now an adult, has always been taught how our freedom isn't free.
As a 13 year old who listens to this i say we do i have 5 uncles who are veterans
an adults
Kids have no respect for the olders nowadays. Bring back basic training as soon as ya hit 18

My Grandfather went to war, was mustard gassed and died in his 40's. It was a terrible death being unable to breathe, my Mother told me. I never got to meet him as he passed before I was born. He gave all, and his family paid a high price for the freedoms they r now trying to take away!

i agree.
Some gave all so I wouldn't have to, for that I will always be thankful, God bless our servicemen who died in combat so we wouldn't have to! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR BRAVE MEN WHO DIED FOR US!
Yes, thank you to those families who lost a father, a husband, a son or daughter fighting against oppression and for democracy. Thank you to those who are fighting now and those who fought for my freedom.

BILLY RAY WASN'T TAKEN SERIOUSLY BACK IN THE DAY ... BUT WHEN I HEARD HIM SING THIS SONG... I KNEW HE HAD A LOVE FOR OUR SOLIDERS AND HIS COUNTRY .... SOME GAVE ALL...... # NEVER FORGET 👈.....🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I remember my uncle Mike on this day and the wonderful man he is and was. I love my country and Gods country and I want the country back we once knew and loved .
I am a Canadian but i RESPECT this song. Be proud of your country, hold respect for those that made you free. Stand and salute the national anthem. These men , boys, and women fought and gave their lives paying the ultimate price for your freedom. GOD BLESS THEM ALL!!!!
Also Canadian and so very grateful to the military on both sides of the border. We all must remember and respect that”Freedom is not Free.” There is a price to be paid and these soldiers stepped up and did it for all of us.
This country owes EVERYTHING to our vets! God bless them and their families. The sacrifices are unmentionable! It is time that we take care of them without thought and without price as they did in all of their selfless acts!

I agree and these damn young fucks that think it's "cool" and "hip" to disrespect the nation and all that represent it whether person, flag or anthem, truly are FUBAR....No pledge in the classroom, no respect for vets...The reason they spit on vets and hate the anthem?? Truth is they know they cannot measure up and they hate them not for being a vet but for showing them up...Before they were even born these men and women were better citizens and human beings then they are or will ever be....So shop at your local starbucks and order something that makes you feel worldly but remember that whenever you raise your nose from that screen, these vets will be better than you ever will be...They get a discount on coffee and fast food, YOU get to live your life without fear, without oppression and without limitations on what you can achieve only set by your actions...You squeamish little pissants that disrespect our vets are the reason we need an army, creatures like you live abroad and wish us, INCLUDING YOU, harm, and those vets and future vets will have protected you from it....Happy tweeting, kiddos! You wanna spit somewhere? Do it directly up and wait a moment!
Thank you, Kim. You speak as if you know how badly Vets have been treated.
2 of my uncle's stormed the beaches of Normandy
I say the veterans deserve the benefits and housing not the f**king illegal immigrants ILLEGALLY coming into our country taking the jobs, housing, and benefits that our veterans deserve more than them
For my DADDY HE GAVE ALL THANK YOU DADDY RIP DONALD RAY SANDERS SR.
my heart and prays for you and your family
Thank you for your family's sacrifice....

Ethan Rogers thanks for considering to serve your country
I thank you, and your family for your sacrifice as well as his. May he rest in Peace, and be remembered by future generations.
This has ALWAYS been one of my FAVORITE Billy Ray Cyrus songs!!! Been on repeat all day 🫡 Thank you for your service 🫡 My Great Grandpa was a Canadian WW11 Veteran Jacob Grant
Love this song. My late husband was a Vietnam Veteran. 😢❤
@Laur Thank you for the cheers and incredible love. How are you today?
I served in nam 72 to 74 Lost some buddy's there god bless you all
This is good stuff. A classic. Makes me tear up every time I hear it, especially thinking how far this nation has fallen from the “greatest generation.” We mustn’t ever let their sacrifices be in vain.
My second dad was a Sgt. General in WWII and he served his country proudly back then and he fell December 15th 2006 and today is his birthday and he would be turning 100 years old if he was still here with me but that's why I love this song for him
