I love this song. I come from a family of Veterans. I have 2 nephews that have both been to Iraq. My son met Luke at the old Fort Days Rodeo in Fort Smith, Arkansas after he came back home. Any one that doesn't like the song just needs to keep their opinions to their selves. Thank you to Luke and all the men and women who are serving our country, have served, or will serve. God Bless you all!!!!
YES!!!! i finally found this song!!!! love it.....i am USAF and to me it doesnt matter what uniform u wear....army, air force, navy, or marine we all fight and bleed together for that i thank all past present and future!!! from one service man to another thanks!
Just so you know the person who helped mr kaepernick start the protest of kneeling was a very highly decorated green beret and myself have over 50 months it’s a right for them to protest and lets be real if they were white y’all probably wouldn’t have an issue
Luke Strickland was an infantry soldier. He was deployed with Ft. Drum. He wrote this song while in Baghdad Iraq. So this is not just another artist singing a song about Iraq…. He was actually there, boots on the ground….
Love this song, it helps to soothe the mind and face it, simplifies some of the issues that we face when we come home. Our government may choose to ignore us but we will always have our memories, Brotherhood and our memories. I think this song should be sold on iTunes though, I can't find it anywhere but here on UA-cam.
love it big time it makes me cry and remember my fallen brothers in arms SPC WALTER CRUZ-CARO 1-8th cavalry regiment foirt hood texas hoooooaaaaaaahh GOD BLESS THE US ARMY INFANTRYMAN
Who in their right mind can dislike this song? These are the people that fought for your right of freedom of speach so you should respect them risking their lives and say good things about them. The man that sang/wrote the song was over seas fighting for you and your families. If you dont have anything to say nice about all the people that risk their whole lives to fight for people like you that they dont know. you should be grateful I love this song with all my heart!
Crazy Country Girl 4Life Ma'am this maybe hard for you to understand and I sincerely mean no offense but every soldier salor airman and marine swore an oath to the constitution and while I appreciate your staunch support for those of us who served, we, every vet past present and future will stand tall and see that those rights held within that sacred document be upheld not only for those who support us but for those who don't. We don't have to like it but we, each and every one of us is honorbl bound to make sure they have those rights the same as you or any other American. It is not lost on me or any who served how easily some individuals so easily cast aside any and all respect for our service and sacrifice for their own selfish reasons and to use those same constitutional rights to degrade and dehumanize us but I, and I'm sure my brothers and sisters feel the same way, would rather see those rights protected for all instead of not having them at all. I hope you don't think poorly of us for thinking like this. Thank you once again for having our backs when so few do. Godspeed and God bless Ma'am.
All I can say is damn good song.only those that have been there can truely appreciate its "beauty" haha OIF II N OIF III vet myself so I would know Semper Fi!

i was in 2-8 infantry 4ID at Fort Hood, i think it's 1-41 now or something. I went to war as a HET driver, they don't like infantry and i got stuck in a guard tower alot.
Good for you... Go infantry if you think you have what it takes and wanna see action, but get out before too long it will break you down. Best of luck.

Can you believe this knock-off with nothing more than pictures and short video clips gets thousands and thousands more hits than Luke's actual video. Here is the artist's actual video. Luke is seen singing throughout. Patronize this video, not these knock-offs. Luke nailed it with this song. He captured what it's like to be over there. ua-cam.com/video/_OeSOp4pNEk/v-deo.html
Came back in 2024 lets make America great again!
America best dame place on earth
Nelson Williams. Heck yes
I love this song. I come from a family of Veterans. I have 2 nephews that have both been to Iraq. My son met Luke at the old Fort Days Rodeo in Fort Smith, Arkansas after he came back home.

God Bless you all!!!!
I'm not a modern country fan, but as an Iraq vet, this is a great song. How he didn't become a successful country star is beyond me.
How Toby Kieth and others "Patriotic" country music stars didn't help him is beyond me. The whole album was incredible.
Toby was helping drum up support at home for the mission
P.s.im a veitnam vet
YES!!!! i finally found this song!!!! love it.....i am USAF and to me it doesnt matter what uniform u wear....army, air force, navy, or marine we all fight and bleed together for that i thank all past present and future!!! from one service man to another thanks!
To all those who have served...I thank you...My husband did 2 tours in Iraq and I know all your hard work is appreciated.
I was in Iraq when he wrote this.....Seems like yesterday....

My old squad leader was too.
He told me about it one night when we were in Syria.
