Before the days of RUclips, I wanted my dad to see this video. He’s a Vietnam vet. And CMT was hard to line up with his schedule. I used the email on the Montgomery Gentry website and asked where I could view this video so my pop could see it. They generously sent my dad a dvd with the video and a small message thanking him for his service. I’ll never forget that small kindness they did for my old man. He loves this video. And feels it pays proper tribute to all vets who did their job, but weren’t appreciated at the time. ❤️
Vietnam Veteran; I can say; this song gets me. We were looked down on and it took years to feel the pride of our service. I'm proud now. Me and my High School friend joined together, went through Boot Camp together and headed separate ways from there. Bill is buried in the National Cenetery in Leavenworth Kansas.
Well Sir. Don't worry. We in the younger generations know what LBJ and McNamara and others did to you and your brothers over there in that hell on earth. You men ARE HEROES. God Bless You for your service to America and the cause of Democracy. Thank you for your courage and service in Southeast Asia.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice sir. And welcome home 🇺🇸 I turned 21 and 22 in Afghanistan on two back to back deployments from 2012-14. My grandady did 3 tours in Nam as a volunteer. When I was 8 years old I ask him why he didn’t get drafted. Now I had no idea what a draft was or how it worked etc. he said “because all them other boys just like me was getting drafted and going to war and dying. I had to volunteer to go. He wasn’t a college student or important in any way. So it was just a matter of time until till his number was up. But I remember just how proud he was that he was a volunteer. A little over 6 month into his 3rd year/deloyment he caught enough shrapnel and a bullet in the leg to come home. I remember him saying that by that time he was ready to just be home. But his leg would ultimately get him discharged. He walked with a limp the rest of his life and that’s why I served. It’s in my blood.
My favorite song grom these guys. As a Iraq vet, it chokes me up with anger at how this nation treated our Vietnam vets. I went the Wall on Memorial Day when I was 15. What I saw that day made sure I enlisted 3 yrs later. My brothers, my uncles, my fathers- thank you and welcome home. You done good. I salute you all.
My father was a vietnam vetran(Marines) who passed away May 28, 2012. I love him and will never forget the sacrifices he made for us. David Royall, Jr. R.I.P.
May he rest in peace Welcome home brother.My Father served with the 101st/2nd/502nd.66-69.And 188th guns of Spider.May all Vietnam Vets have peace and every Veteran.
I don't care what the media says, I don't care whom we fight, for what reason, wars of past or future I will support you 120%. I may not be able to join, so I will do what I can back home
This is a wonderfully done tribute to our men and women of our military who's sacrifice is the ultimate price for our freedom. My father was a Vietnam vet and I'm proud of him. Lost him 8 years ago and miss him. Very proud to call him my dad.
MY DAD WAS A VEIT NAM VET, HE NEVER EVEN GOT A GUN SALUTE AND I NEVER GOT A FOLDED FLAG. I STILL HOLD HIS NAME UP HIGH!! GOD BLESS OUR VETS AND GOD BLESS THE USA.
I have my husband who is a VIETNAM VETERAN AND A DEAR FRIEND WHO SUFFERS SEVERE PTSD ALSO A VIETNAM VET I HAVE NOTHING BUT THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR THOSE BOYS WELCOME HOME ONE AND ALLL AND GOD BLESS
@@sarahnoble74 my Dad was a Korean war vet,he passed away in Oct.85 from cancer & never received a military funeral,no 21 gun salute,folded flag,nothing.My mother finally received a "copy"of an honorary thank you letter "signed" by Ronald Reagan
Who are the messed up people who disliked this song. We should always support our troops. They have fought and died so we can live free, so we can live in this great country of the red white and blue
I relate to this song, I returned to the States to be greeted by prople that had no idea what "we" went through. 35 years later I still can only talk to my "brothers" about that time. I pray that todays Vets won't have to go through that. I am proud of all who were willing to put on the uniform and protect those who didn't or couldn't.
First of all RIP Troy. You are missed deeply. Eddie, beautiful lyrics and thanks for raising awareness of something that has been ignored for too long. The flag will always fly.
One of my best and closest brothers is in this video and I remember him being so proud. He told us how well they were treated and how much fun they had. My Brothers name is Dennis Hoffman, but few people knew him by that. Everyone called him "Hooper". That's him in the Red & Black at 3:15. He rode with the VNV/MC out of Ventura, CA. He was wild, He was a bit crazy, He was a damned good dude and he was proud to be a Vietnam Veteran. I am proud that he called me "Brother" and I miss him BIG TIME! Rest In Peace Hooper & Troy.
From a College Boy who plans to serve in 2 years, and has over 30 friends in the service, most of them I met in Sea Cadets, so I understand military life, You troops always have my support, and hopefully someday I'll join the ranks with the most honorable bravest proud people I know..
Thank you to all of our military men/women and our Veterans. We owe you so much. Troy, your passing don't seem real. You will be missed, but your music will live on. May you RIP.
I am the proud wife of a retired Soldier, a proud Mom of a Soldier & a former Marine and the Sister of a Marine. They all have been changed forever due to their deployments and the things the have seen and did. All they ask from those of us that haven't been there is understanding of where they are coming from after these life changing experiences....it is the least we can do. THANK A VETERAN FOR YOUR FREEDOM!!
My grandfather served in the US Navy during world 2 as did his 3 brothers, they all made it home, i dedicate this to the more than 400,000 Americans who paid the ultimate price in the second world war.
My Uncle is bedridden with MS after serving in Vietnam & being sprayed with Agent Orange. He has been bedridden for over 26+ yrs now. He got a mere $7-8,000.00 in the Agent Orange settlement!?!? I played this song for him & I have never seen the man cry other than we lost both my Grandparents and he couldn't attend the services. But he cried during this song. He tells me stories from Vietnam and I thank God we had men (& women) like him to go over & fight our fights for us.GodblessMuchluv&respec
Me U.S. Army 1994-2000, my father U.S. Army 1970-1974 and National Guard 1980-2003. Many other men in my family both sides have served and I wouldn't trade my service for no amount of money. To all who are still carrying the torch of freedom my respect to you all! Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone take time to reflect on the sacrifice made by our military for you.
Yesterday, the last American combat unit left Iraq. My cousin, William, gave his life in April 2003 to help make that possible. This song always brings tears to my eyes, cuz it reminds me of him. They are our nation's best. We are free cuz of them....Its that simple.
BEAUTIFUL video!!! My son, Sgt. Nicholas Ray Gibbs, was killed in action in Ar Ramadi, Iraq on December 6, 2006 and I miss him more & move EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!! God Bless people like Montgomery Gentry and all the others for keeping our Fallen Hero's memories alive in us and for honoring their courage & sacrifice. Debbie Halstead Proud Mother of a Fallen Soldier
Sad.. ANYONE DEFENDING THEIR COUNTRY IS IMPORTANT. THE NAVY IS NO BETTER THAN THE ARMY OR ANY OTHER GROUP! EVERYONE IS RISKING THEIR LIVES FOR THE SAME COUNTRY OR REASON!!!
To all vets and most especially VIETNAM VETS WELCOME HOME, WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! Thank you for all your sacrifice and service! That's too long overdue, A Grateful American
Thank all of you service men and women who stood in the gap for all of us...This country owes you a debt that can never be repaid. My only hope is I live my life that honors your sacrifice. Godspeed to all of you and your families..
thank you and your brothers and sisters past, present, and future for your sacrifices. too many people fail to remember that freedom isnt free and neglect to show their appreciation to our servicemen and women. so thank you all for your service
THIS SONG MEANS SO MUCH TO ME AS A VETERAN WITH A LONG LINE A FAMILY WHO HAVE FOUGHT & DIED TO KEEP OUR GREAT NATION THE LAND OF THE FREE THANKS TO THE BRAVE. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN IN THE BATTLEFIELD IN THE SKY...
I thank every vet I see, for what they had to do to protect me, my family, and everything this country stands for. And I feel bad sometimes that some cry because of me doing that. It's hard seeing a grown man cry, but I know they're tears of joy. And this song is a understanding, to a fraction of what these men and women have to go through.
This song is a great tribute to our armed forces, and it proves something about MG: Eddie has that voice that makes you listen to him, and Troy is one of the best harmonizers, let alone singers, in today's country music world. Keep it up, MG, LOVE the new song "I'll Keep The Kids!"
I can relate to this, because I had a girl that I went to school with call me ugly things when she found out I was a Marine. Thank you to all my brothers and sisters in arms past and present!!
I'm no Hero but I Served beside some. To my Brothers and Sisters in arms my heart goes out to you . For those who didn't make it back, A Slow Hand Salute for you. Thank You Montgomery and Gentry for this awesome song. R.I.P Troy Gentry. My condolences to his family and friends.
This song makes me cry. It played the day I had our baby girl and my husband was deployed. I am a proud wife of a soldier and a proud sister and grand daughter of soldiers. Thank you for all you do
PTSD is real my dad was a Vietnam era Marine he died in mid 200 and still had nightmares from the 70's he saw things over there that would curl your toenails and we havent really gotten any better with our homecoming for the Middle eastern Vets just let them back into society and give them the mental help they deserve a lot of them are barely old enough to go to a bar much less see things that would make rob zombie sick just leave them be
I sit here with tears in my eyes for 2 reasons. First, in appreciation, love, and respect for the men and women who have given their all (and even their lives) for this country when called upon to do so. And, secondly, for the tombstone that reads “UNKNOWN”...because he or she WAS known! He or she had a family! He or she WAS LOVED! And, I can guarantee you that, that mother and father, that brother and sister, that husband and wife, that son and daughter, that family, have NOT spent lonely hours, days, YEARS crying for their “UNKNOWN” to come home, or grieving the loss of their special “UNKNOWN”. That “UNKNOWN” had a name! That “UNKNOWN” had a family! That “UNKNOWN” was LOVED!
It's the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press. It's the soldier, not the poet who has given us the fredom of speech. It's the soldier not the campus who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It's the soldier who salutes the flag, who servies beveath the flag and whose coffin is droped by the flag who allows the protester to burn the flag. it's by Father Denis Edward O'Brien USMC
Wow, what an amazing song and message; God bless the fine men sent into those insane foreign wars. 100K+ Veteran suicides from Iraq & Afghanistan, and 500K living Vietnam vets according to Veterans Today, so sad, rest in piece gentlemen.
+Jackson Anderson I personally dislike this song, but not for what it stands for. I just never cared for the beat and instrumental parts of it. Still, I sometimes listens to it for the lyrics, the lyrics are wonderful.
+Young Carter I wish more country music was like this. So *damn* much of it is shit about pickup trucks, hawnky tawnks, drinking beer, and devastating breakups where the man absolutely gets screwed over.
For all the soldiers that have gone away to war... the ones that came back and the ones that didnt... YOU BURNED AND BLED ENOUGH FOR ME YOU FACED OUR FEARS AND LAID YOUR LIFE DOWN FOR FREEDOM... if you ask me... your my hero... and that why im joining the army... so i can protect what you fought for... what you died for... thank you all for all the things you have done for me and this country
james richard luckey was in the frountline vietnam. he was just a kid. when he got back no one respected what he did. he had atlest 3 purple hearts. im his nephew. i would like to say THANK YOU TO ALL THAT HAVE SERVED
I'd have to say that this song is one of Montgomery Gentry's best songs. I thought it was awesome when they broke Brooks & Dunn's duo of the year streak in 2000, because it was just their second year in the business.
Thank you to all the MEN and WOMEN who blanket us with security that YOU pay for with YOUR blood n guts. YOU are the reason why we sleep comfortably at night, while YOU are tormented by horrific nightmares, with whatever sleep is granted to YOU. i could never, ever thank YOU enough......
Viet nahm was our worsted war ever and our heroes went thru so much that none of us can imagine or no and to get treated the way they did was wrong. Thank you Montgomery gentry for at least giving them some recognition. Praise our heroes
I want to thank all of our service men and woman past and present. On this coming Memorial Day weekend we should all take the time to think about and pay tribute in some way to all the brave solders that are fighting for us. I don't care if you agree with the war, we still need to respect our service men. I think everyday needs to be Memorial Day, when it comes to our troops.
My father was in Vietnam, he has a small collection of medals, purple heart, bronze star and such, he has refused to discuss it ever with me and i respect that as his wishes..
I lost a cousin from vietnam. even though i was not around nor did i ever know him, its kinda sombering to know i had family lost in a war. thank you troops for what you do, i want to serve one day as well
God bless the veterans who fought for American freedom...they dont get nearly enough respect for the ultimate sacrifice they gave.i saw people ouside flea markets tryna raise funds for the veterans and thats sad very sad...God bless em all

I just want to say THANKS to everyone that supports the troops. I was in the Marine corps for 5 years and I'm pourd for for doing it.
THIS SONG MEANS SO MUCH TO ME AS A VETERAN WITH A LONG LINE A FAMILY WHO HAVE FOUGHT & DIED TO KEEP OUR GREAT NATION THE LAND OF THE FREE THANKS TO THE BRAVE. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN IN THE BATTLEFIELD IN THE SKY...

Bless all of my brothers in arms who fought the battles and to all the families of the ones that could not make it home.
Thank you to anyone that has served this country. I am free because of you and your sacrifice
I can relate to this, because I had a girl that I went to school with call me ugly things when she found out I was a Marine. Thank you to all my brothers and sisters in arms past and present!!

Rip Troy Gentry. Thank you for years of fantastic music.
my grandpa was an Army Sgt in WWII, i thank him and the others for serving
I sit here with tears in my eyes for 2 reasons. First, in appreciation, love, and respect for the men and women who have given their all (and even their lives) for this country when called upon to do so. And, secondly, for the tombstone that reads “UNKNOWN”...because he or she WAS known! He or she had a family! He or she WAS LOVED! And, I can guarantee you that, that mother and father, that brother and sister, that husband and wife, that son and daughter, that family, have NOT spent lonely hours, days, YEARS crying for their “UNKNOWN” to come home, or grieving the loss of their special “UNKNOWN”. That “UNKNOWN” had a name! That “UNKNOWN” had a family! That “UNKNOWN” was LOVED!
Was thinking of.you two this memorial.day im a vet and wanted to.say hello.amd send u love ! This song touches my soul!! Ml.

+Carl A yes sir
Hats off to all our heroes! Thank you for standing up for the Red, White, and Blue!
The price of freedom is not cheap. I really like this song
It's the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press.
It's the soldier, not the poet who has given us the fredom of speech.
It's the soldier not the campus who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It's the soldier who salutes the flag, who servies beveath the flag and whose coffin is droped by the flag who allows the protester to burn the flag.
it's by Father Denis Edward O'Brien USMC
RIP Troy Gentry.................so sad right now
I love this song so much!! I think of my grandpa monte who fought in the Vietnam war 😍💕😘❤️
Rest in peace Troy
I've Always Loved this Song. My Step-Dad is Retired Vietnam Veteran. I Served US Army Cavalry (RECON), Afghanistan.

"i seen boys fall to pieces,grown men cry out for Jesus till they where black and blue!
how many tears must we cry to make this band happen ????? legendary.!!!@!!!!!!!!@!
Awesome tribute song, thank you to all the veterans for your sacrifice and our freedom!
Wow, what an amazing song and message; God bless the fine men sent into those insane foreign wars. 100K+ Veteran suicides from Iraq & Afghanistan, and 500K living Vietnam vets according to Veterans Today, so sad, rest in piece gentlemen.
People often forget what our soldiers and veterans have done for this country. I think this song helps us all remember how brave they are and were.
"Iv'e seen boys fall to pieces grown men cry out for Jesus till their black and blue."
"I thought God was on our side,
Weren't we supposed to be the good guys that would never lose?"
I'm watching this with a tear in my eye . RIP, You sexy man !
God bless the ppl that have defended the US and Canada!
How can people dislike this song? Especially when this represents our country and our Vets!!! Thank you to our Vets!! Love you all!
+Jackson Anderson I personally dislike this song, but not for what it stands for. I just never cared for the beat and instrumental parts of it. Still, I sometimes listens to it for the lyrics, the lyrics are wonderful.
+Jackson Anderson because they are assholes - get in or get out - I agree !
Thank you for your service and may God richly bless you and yours!!❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is that one country song that makes me want to listen to more country music.
+Young Carter I wish more country music was like this. So *damn* much of it is shit about pickup trucks, hawnky tawnks, drinking beer, and devastating breakups where the man absolutely gets screwed over.
+Emper0rH0rde yep
hey check out wade bowen's "songs about trucks" song, he goes into detail beautifully on this, the truth, most of his songs are damn good too
Proud to be a American, proud to have served, would do it again if i was young enough.
Ha Re Thank you for service. I really do appreciate all you have done for us.
+L Lawliet your very welcome, tc and be safe.
this reminds me of my dad who passed away in 2002 from cancer due to agent orange, he fought in Vietnam brings a tear to my eye every time
I seen boys fall to pieces grown men cry out for JESUS until they were black and blue!
Pretty deep!
For all the soldiers that have gone away to war... the ones that came back and the ones that didnt... YOU BURNED AND BLED ENOUGH FOR ME YOU FACED OUR FEARS AND LAID YOUR LIFE DOWN FOR FREEDOM... if you ask me... your my hero... and that why im joining the army... so i can protect what you fought for... what you died for... thank you all for all the things you have done for me and this country
james richard luckey was in the frountline vietnam. he was just a kid. when he got back no one respected what he did. he had atlest 3 purple hearts. im his nephew. i would like to say THANK YOU TO ALL THAT HAVE SERVED
Thank u to my father and all Vietnam vets u deserve more then what u got coming home. My father is the reason i joined in the Army
2 of my sons currently serve . One is in the Air Force and another in the Navy. I’m proud of those two boys ❤
This song Breaks my Heart it's so true they have been There and will never Forget why we were there ! God loves us all , love you guys
Thank u to all our service men and women past present and future
I'd have to say that this song is one of Montgomery Gentry's best songs. I thought it was awesome when they broke Brooks & Dunn's duo of the year streak in 2000, because it was just their second year in the business.
Joshua Brooks yep. I love both bands very much, I just wish these guys got their dues
@@micdrop344 me too
Thank you to all the MEN and WOMEN who blanket us with security that YOU pay for with YOUR blood n guts. YOU are the reason why we sleep comfortably at night, while YOU are tormented by horrific nightmares, with whatever sleep is granted to YOU. i could never, ever thank YOU enough......
Can't wait for their new album. Thank God they are coming back to rescue country music!
Viet nahm was our worsted war ever and our heroes went thru so much that none of us can imagine or no and to get treated the way they did was wrong. Thank you Montgomery gentry for at least giving them some recognition. Praise our heroes
My father was one of the first Navy Seals to fight in Vietnam, he's damned proud of what he did, why shouldn't he?
"I faced your fears and felt pain so you won't have to." My God, if people only understood that.
My grandfather served in the Korean War. I love you, Grandpa, and I miss you so much.
I want to thank all of our service men and woman past and present. On this coming Memorial Day weekend we should all take the time to think about and pay tribute in some way to all the brave solders that are fighting for us. I don't care if you agree with the war, we still need to respect our service men. I think everyday needs to be Memorial Day, when it comes to our troops.
The price of freedom is not cheap. Thank you to everyone that give us our freedom
This song always makes me grateful, sad, and upset all at the same time.🇺🇸🇺🇸
My father was in Vietnam, he has a small collection of medals, purple heart, bronze star and such, he has refused to discuss it ever with me and i respect that as his wishes..
Happy Veterans Day to all my fellow pipe hitter brothers and sisters out there. 11/11/2019
I lost a cousin from vietnam. even though i was not around nor did i ever know him, its kinda sombering to know i had family lost in a war. thank you troops for what you do, i want to serve one day as well
Thank you to all our Veterans, we live in the greatest Country in the world because of them,,,, and if you don’t like it LEAVE!!🇺🇸
I served '64 '68 and left 20+ years ago. A good move thank you.
God bless the veterans who fought for American freedom...they dont get nearly enough respect for the ultimate sacrifice they gave.i saw people ouside flea markets tryna raise funds for the veterans and thats sad very sad...God bless em all
