They use actual veterans in their videos and many other projects.
That makes the videos even more powerful.
Thank you both for your service.
Thank you, OH WOW! I did not know that, that is awesome, thank you for that info.
Thank you both for your service! Make sure you both know ,YOU ARE APPRECIATED!
They employ vets at their shows, as part of their road crews and vets help fabricate a lot of their stage dressing s and elements.
In the end with Jacoby walking by seeing the bearded buddy against the wall homeless, you can see him mouth the words, “Look at me! You know me! You saved my life brother!” and he stops fighting him and gets still, you see in his eyes he then recognizes him, and he starts to cry.
I'm a navy vet and saw their show last year in Tampa. Instead of playing encores they (mostly Ivan) literally gave the shirt off his back.....his watch....damn near everything he had on to vets. And made all vets at the show raise their hand and be recognized. Saw what you want about Ivan and the guys but he absolutely loves the vets. And I'll be a fan till I die
This video and song is what prompted me to seek help and am being evaluated for PTSD. You're comments were on point. The stat at the end ripped my heart out. Thanks Fellas
Thank you so much and I hope all is well with you.
Thank you for your service. I glad you reached out. Reaching out is one of the hardest thing a combat veterans had to do. A lot of time a veteran literally builds a wall around themselves which often leads to problems stated in the video. Again I thank you for your service.
@@jasonturner6411 Thank you so much, That makes it all worth it.
Thank you for your service my friend

My uncle in everything but biology, he was a marine. He can't talk to me about what he went through, but I see it in his behavior and the way he holds me. It's always tight, like he's afraid to let go. I'm autistic, and i always want touch from specific people i love. He never gets annoyed by it and anytime he's over, i always fall asleep on him. I have ptsd but i cant even begin to understand what you go through. All i can say is thank you. I wish i could do more but. I cherish your service and the military always has support from me. Thank you both and please stay safe, not only in battle, but in your mind too. Thank you.
AWWW! Hey Dollface! thank you so much! I have to say your comment is one of the most heart felt I've had. Thank you so much and is people like you that that remind us veterans of why we do what we do. Much respect and a big SALUTE!! to you and everyone around you! God bless!!!!!!!! Love your soul!!!
@@daolman8226 Of course! I'm so proud of all the veterans and always make sure to thank them for what they do. I do it with Nurses as well! After all, they do the most work in hospitals imo. Every veteran deserves a good hug. If I could, I'd hug em all. I'm an expert at hugs after all. I appreciate you taking time to read my comment! Much love boys!
He told him at the end “You saved my life brother”. Touching. Thank you for y’all’s service.
Thank you so much, that makes it all worth it.
That is the part that rips my heart out everytime. The homeless man saved his brother in arms to start off with and then the man in the suit saved the other man's life in the end, just in a different way.
@@tammyroach3286 I gets me every time too! When he says you know me!! You saved my life brother, and wipes away his tears.
Gentlemen, I'd like to thank the both of you for your service.
Thank you so much. That makes it all worth it!
When the man in the suit cries and then wipes off the dirt/tears on the other veteran took me over the edge emotionally. You have 4 men who all fought right along side each other and all 4 are experiencing different things in their lives and only 1 of the 4 is doing well which goes along with how many veterans experience difficulties.
I was married to a guy who after a year of marriage, he wanted to join the army. I wasn't happy about it, but I supported him. While he was in basic he had an affair with a woman in basic with him. A divorce followed. You are correct that the reason could be anything. I hated the military and anything having to do with the military for years. I have come full circle and now support all our veterans. I enjoy your videos very much and love FFDP. Thank you!
Thank you for the comment. I'm sorry that happened to you, He was wrong for that. No-one should ever do that to someone who is supporting their decision.
I'm a Marine Corps veteran who joined right after 9/11 happened. I've watched this video at least once a month for the last 5 or 6 years and I break down every time. I have PTSD, I've come very close to unaliving myself, and I've been homeless 3 times. I really appreciate your reaction here and thank you for your sacrifice.
Thank you for your service. Don’t give up. 🇺🇸❤️
@BadWolfWhovian I won't. Also, love the name. I need to catch up on the last 2 seasons of Doctor Who. David Tennant was my favorite Doctor.
@@Spotastic9 hey man. Thanks for your service!
I hope you are still doing well.
@@Trufflie I appreciate the concern. I'm doing okay, thanks.
Thank you for your sacrifice, I know you get that a lot. My great uncle recently passed away and he was a Vietnam war vet. I come from a military family. Again I thank you 🙏🙏
I’m the daughter of a veteran. My nephew was in the gulf war. He came back with severe PTSD. This song always gets me. Thank you for your sacrifice.
Thank you. And a salute to your father.
“In the field, we had a code of honor: _You watch my back, I watch your’s._ Back here, there’s nothing!”

Veteran to Veteran, thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and for reacting to this video. I cry every time I listen to this song.
I thank you also, yea it hits home.
I'm not a veteran, but come from a family with an extensive military background. This video has always gotten me in the heartstrings.
I'm a British Royal Air Force veteran, served for 15 years. love your content keep up the good work.
Semper Fi from one combat vet to another. This song/reaction will never get old...
I have been part of that first statistic. Even worse, the cost of insurance and upkeep on a "wet clinic" (where drugs/alcohol is allowed) is so prohibitive that they are almost impossible to keep running. So I stayed high and homeless until two years ago when I got to walk my 21 year old daughter down the aisle. I've come a long way in the last 2 years, got a long way to go.
Keep fighting the good fight brother.
"You saved my life brother" is what the guy said to the Vet he woke up.
OHHHHHH! Thank you so much.
As I understand it, a Gold star family has lost a loved one in combat, a silver star family has had a loved one wounded in combat and a blue star family has a loved one serving in active duty. Greetings from a fellow veteran in Alabama 😎.
I never stopped Serving And Loving My Country! My Country has Stopped Loving, and Serving Me! No Honor!
Please post that video, I am not a veteran but my husbands best friend was a Gulf War veteran. He ended his life and pain a week ago, lots of pain and demons. He was an awesome friend and man, just too many damn demons. The pain he left behind can't compare to what he went through and we all understand that, but it doesn't help. "WE ARE FAILING THEM" is an understatement. I am thankful to all you veterans and have an appreciation for what some go through. Peace to all who suffer, love to all who are lost, and compassion to the misunderstood.
Its up now, 22 gone, Thank you for your comment.
This song still hits me right in the feels to this day. It's an absolute tragedy those who gave of themselves to serve their country are treated in this manner. A big salute to all those who choose to serve.
This is one of my favorite FFDP songs. I've never seen this video before. It makes me appreciate the song so much more. What's really interesting about FFDP is their support of our military and not one of them ever served. During their concerts in the US they give a flag to a deserving veteran or organization that supports our vets
I have no words to describe my gratitude to all that serve and have served. Although I have never served, I can't get through this video without crying. I will never understand how we as a nation allow the bravest of the brave go through these hardships. There was a documentary about that topic, and this was something that happened to vets even going back to the Revolutionary war.
My grandpa (now mid 60’s) was a marine at 18. I thank God he wasn’t a part of these statistics. The PTSD is still going strong tho… as a kid I never understood why his mindset was ‘twisted’ in a way; never put your hands on your loved ones, but it’s ok to scream and break things around you when they piss you off even a little bit? I now know he never wanted it to be like that either. I know he tries to love as much as he can even when angry. I unfortunately now have PTSD and it really sets me back when I realize a mental disorder is what brought me and a veteran closer in a way that neither one of us deserved. Sad..
thank y’all for your service btw
Thank you so much Jassy and a big SALUTE!!! to your grandpa.
I'm not a veteran myself, but I do come from a family of veterans, so I'm fully aware of what "The 22" is
It's really heartbreaking that there's been so many veterans who've become lart of this group
Thank you both for your service and sacrifices. Thank you for fighting for the freedoms that we have as Americans. May God bless and keep you safe.
Thank you so much! God bless!
to both of the content creators in this video. thank you so much for your service. and from earlier about married or partners to a militant person. i would marry them in a heartbeat if we clicked and things like that. i fully support our Veteran's and help however i can when i see one or if i see one in uniform i shake their hand, then salute them and thank them for their service.
Thank you so much for your comment.
My husband has an autographed guitar by them. When I watched this video for the first time , I cried. 😢😢 and I still cry.
OH WOW! that is so awesome. I hope he keeps that forever and a SALUTE! to you both.
Great reaction guys and thank you both for your service My dad served 32 years active duty army 2 tours in Iraq 2 bronz stars with valor was blown up 56 times by i.e.d.s we lost dad in a motorcycle accident December 2nd 2020 been super tough without him . Thanks again guys
Sending All vets and soldiers currently serving anywhere in the world my full on respect!
Thank you both for your service, I'll never have enough words to fully express my gratitude for all thatt the men and women of our military have done and continue to do for us.
Thank you so much Demonic! That makes it all worth it!
Navy vet here--thanks to all who served or are serving now. Definitely a tear jerker.There was a 22 challenge--do 22 pushups for these vets.
I want to thank all of you men and women who give up so much to serve your country and to keep up safe. My Dad was in the Navy and was on the USS Saratoga from 1968 and ended up getting a hardship discharge in 1972 to come home to take care of me while my mom went to rehab, and My fiance' was in the Army Reserves for 23 yrs and served for 18 months in Saudi Arabia he was a Tanker. You all do not get the respect and treatment you deserve! GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!
Thank you so much Gina! that makes it all worth it and God bless you and your family!!!
I can hardly imagine what veterans are going through but after i saw their music video a few years back i sort of got the idea. The ptsd and taking their life is really hard.. And to think people really don't appreciate their service is just not good.. I am not from America but i do thank you for your service and for putting your life on the line for people that sometimes take it as nothing and are not even thankfull.
Thank you so much Gabi, that makes it all worth it. A big SALUTE!! to you.
I’m a combat veteran and this video puts me in tears every time I see it
Every time I watch this video, and it's been quite a few over the years, my heart breaks.
I'm in the UK and our government is pretty crap at looking after our vets.
Awww! I'm sorry to hear that, I hope things get better.
@@daolman8226 sadly I highly doubt it.
Some of The Members of Five Finger Death Punch are Veterans. They Did a Song Called Blue on Black about the First Responders and They Donated all The Processes to The Gary Sinise Foundation. Please check that one out. By the Way, I'm a Wife of an Airforce Veteran in The Vietnam era. He became an O.R. Tech so he could save lives! We Have been Married for over 35yrs. and I Plan to be with Him for another 35yrs. God willing. Also, The Want To Thank You Both For Your Service!
OMG! Thank you so much Ma'am! and a salute from me to you husband, In my eyes they are the true hero's they went through so much. Much love to you and your family. Thank you again!!!
@@daolman8226 ❤
I want to thank every man and woman that served and are serving our country
Thank you both for your service and for every man and women who served and is still serving. I had two grandpa's in Vietnam one was a DI and the other was a jeep driver. I tried joining but got caught on a bad path that only ended with me disappointing myself and my family. Stay safe everyone and God bless
God bless ya Cody and a SALUTE! to your grandpa's, they helped pave the way for all of us.
Thank you, and thanks to all our service men and women who risk it all for us. Best wishes.
Thank you both so much for your service. I'm sorry for the shameful way our country treats our veterans. Oh sure, there is all sorts of lip service but not enough is actually being done.
Thank you so much, Yes I agree, I think I can speak for most vets when I say all we want is to be appreciated.
All I have to say is THANK YOU BOTH!! For your service!!! Truly appreciated!!!!
Thank you James, that makes it all worth it!
My Father was in the battle after Dec 6th. The Battle after pearl harbor was taken down in the islands with the 81st.. He did what needed be to done. God Bless
He was a pearl harbor vet? that is one of the coolest things I think I’ve ever heard.
From an ex Iraqi soldier .. living in France now, all I have to say is respect to American soldiers even though they killed a lot of innocent people ! No hate there … the war was like a 50-0 soccer game .. we suffered much more ! The problem is our governments ! We are all the same .. people with feelings and families and stories ! Much respect to you and the American soldiers too ! Great song.. peace ! Soldiers just do their job ! Worldwide soldiers respect
Awesome reaction guys, I was raised a military brat-- my dad and grandfather(different branches) -- and currently study Mental Health and Addiction - also, I think every time I watch a reaction, someone points out something different. Thank you for your service
Thank you so much, that makes it all worth it!
I love FFDP!! I never knew that it got to do with the military or rhe veterans.I never saw the music video. I was depressed, harmed myself, going through messy divorce. Ex cheated too. Not affiliated with the military. This song here builds me, motivates me.. it's not just for military! It's a rescue song, it's survival! I'm better now ❤
I've been watching this video for years. I get tears every time. I went through it (the army) and tried to talk my son out of joining. Well, he's been deployed since August. I guess its just his turn. Sadly, he will be able to relate to this video when he comes home in a year; just like I can relate.
The biggest problem is the video is so good it distracts you from the song you cant focus on either . Great song and video
Thank you both for your service. This song hits close to home as my cousin is part of the 22.
I love your reaction, this is always are tough one for veterans, always breaks my heart and reminds me how blessed I am.
People simply do not have the reverence of marriage and commitment that they did years ago, so sad.
I remember watching this a while back. It's heart breaking, for all the veterans have done for us, we fail them so badly. They deserve more than what they get for risking everything for the safety of their home and loved ones and the people of their country. Five finger death punch is one of my top favourite bands, and this is the first song I ever heard from them. This song no matter how many times I listen to it always gives me goosebumps. It really shows how much appreciation and love they have for soldiers. Hope you guys listen to more five finger death punch, their music is just down right awesome
Much Love To You & Your Son For Your Sacrifice. My Dad Was In Vietnam. He Flew The Choppers. He Was Not The Same When He Came Home (From WhatMom Says) He Served If Im Not Mistaken From 68-72. I Cry Every time I Watch Wrong Side Of Heaven. Again Thank You For Your Service. Be Safe & God Bless. I would like to see the 22 video that y'all was talking about.
Thank You, much respect to your father.
Tears. Thank you to every man and woman that has served my country. Our veterans should be a priority. PERIOD.
Hey guys, would love to see a reaction video to disturbed reason to fight. I am a veteran myself this song hits me differently evrytime I hear it. Reason to fight hits me differently evrytime I hear it as well. I have slipped into depression more than once in the 6 years since I got out. My family and these songs saw me through each time. Thanks to all those who served before me with me and after me. Thoughts and prayers go out to those deployed overseas in or near combat zones. Come home safe everyone.
Ok, so you got me super excited about this one. I saw disturbed in a local concert type thingy before they even got big and loved them every since. I will check that song out. Thank you so much Tom!
@Da Ol' Man going to just say it now. That one though not strictly about veterans but everyone in general. Has a huge impact, to truly listen to the words being said. I can't praise it enough.
Hello. I'm French, and I don't understand how this happens in your country. No disregard to Americans, you are all, or those I met actually, very kind and generous, but in France, vet budget in apolitical, like, a politician would suggest to touch to it, their carrier would end, from both left and right. I mean, ONE veteran fell in the crack of the system and died homeless, there was a full on Senate investigation, and heads fell, and not a low rank, both in the military and administration. So to see this, it's heartbreaking.
It happens in America (as an american) because our government does not care about us. Not one bit. They allow our soldiers to witness unspeakable terrors and let them fall through the cracks when they return home.
Short answer, our politicians don't care and the people are too wrapped up in work and reality TV to pay attention.
Thank you very much for your service. We would not be able to watch this video, without the sacrifices that you both have made.
Thank you so much, greatly appreciated!
@@daolman8226 My Grandfather was a Marine that served in WWII on the Pacific side. Father served in the army and sister in the Navy.
I never want to let myself take it for granted. You volunteered for your service. 🇺🇸🕊️
@@1WildFlower93 WOW! Salute to you and your whole family, long line of service members there. Again...thank you so much for your support!
This is one of the best, most insightful, and most genuine reactions to any music video I've ever seen, including reactions to this song and video. An honestly meaningful standout.
Zoltan Bathory is one of the few civilians certified by the Pentagon and the US Army as an L1 Modern Army Combatives- Close Quarter Combat .
He employees Veterans and when he goes on tour hires Veterans for the tour.
He is also the founder of the nonprofit Home Deployment Project in Las Vegas and sits on the board of advisors with VETPAW
Oh Wow! thank you so much for that info, that's awesome.
Most of the members have family either retired or active in the military. I honestly think that Ivan has so much respect. Part of the reason I love this band so much.
Thank you both or watching and reacting to this video. An old USAF vet.
Thank you brother.
From a disabled Army 11B Veteran...THANK YOU and much love to you guys for furthering the awareness. The struggle is REAL...I've been just about all of these statistics at one point or another, the sad thing is that even with many of these organizations, qualifying for help is still difficult for most and impossible for many.
20 year Navy vet OS1 ( SW ) retired. I was so close to ending up like the guys in this video. This video is very personal for me.
Hey brother, thank you so much for the comment and you KEEP fighting the good fight we are all in this together and we WILL make it threw. SALUTE! to you brother.
Thanks for your service, guys! There are a lot of us who think about and pray for you all.
We can't say enough thank u guys...tyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyytyyyyyyyyyyyyyytyyyyytttyyy.
Thank you so much, That makes it all worth it.
As a former Army attack helicopter pilot with combat experience, and later a cop and federal agent, thank you for your service and reaction!
Ivan had several family and friends in Multiple sections of military. They're an amazing band. And thank you for your service.
Thank you so much Jason!
@@daolman8226 My Pleasure sir I'm truly and deeply disappointed and pissed our government has Never shown veterans the Respect and Appreciation you deserve. Look forward to you hopefully reaction to rest of this album. Or Honestly start at Beginning. Way Of The Fist 1st album. There's a deluxe edition called Iron fist Edition has alternate take of two of there songs. And them Doing an Astonishingly badass cover of A New Level by Pantera! Have a great night and a blessed summer.
Somehow I came across your video. PTSD can be a hidden problem for some. I know,my husband came home from 4 years of being in the military. He did 2 tour’s in Iraq in as a combat medic. When you’ve never encountered PTSD with a close one you don’t have any idea of why they changed. It took me awhile to figure it out and for him to accept it. We are going on 20 years of marriage and still dealing with it. Having one son who is in the military now and a daughter joining after her last year of high school I will be looking and I will be fighting for their mental health. Thank you to all our veterans. We do appreciate your sacrifice.
Thank you so much for the comment Vals! everything you said is spot on and a big SALUTE!! to you and your family!!! God bless!!
This is why I love and support Five Finger Death Punch, they would do anything for the Armed Forces, Vets, and First Responders
Thank you to all vets real heroes
Just found this channel- while playing random Five Finger Songs.
Ive been looking and looking recently; I see the darkness and feel it again.
Ive been have recurring dreams about my service and law enforcement service and they have me fearing falling asleep.
For the past few weeks, I’ve been keeping my firearm next to me when I’m in bed asleep. I feel like something is coming for me. Not sure what’s happening.
The VA give the standard meds and think that’s it- that person will be fine..
~stay safe;stay vigilant
I feel ya bro! stay safe and keep fighting the good fight. I have to have noise at night when I sleep TV playing, Fans etc! helps keep me from picking up on every sound at night and waking up.
20 year retired veteran from a military family. My dad was in WW2, I was in for Vietnam and Iraq. My second son went to Afghanistan and is on disability. His daughter (My granddaughter) went to Kuwait and is now a military contractor. This is a very powerful song and video. I have gone to the VA for PTSD and depression.
Thank you both for your service!!!! With out you, we wouldn't have what we have today. So thank you again.
Thank you, that makes it all worth it!
I am the third of 4 generations of veterans. My son did two tours in Iraq, I was homeless for a brief period of time. The right help came along and I have been off the streets for 40 years.
Thank you for the comment and a big SALUTE!! to you and your son. God bless you!! and keep up the good fight!
Thank you, gentlemen for your service. My partner is a disabled vet. She struggles everyday to stay in her happy place. I can see how it all goes awry folks who've served so quickly.
Thank you for your comment and a salute from me to you and your partner, god bless you and your loved ones, one day at a time is all we can do.
From one veteran to you two thank you for reacting to this. I have 4 combat tours and 17 submarine deployments. Thank you!
I can never watch this video without tears...I have had two Brothers I served with...Take their lives...they were on the same meds...they gave me for PTSD...I was in a dark place for a long time. I got help and I was lucky to have strong family support...I took the therapy and got off the meds...There are still times when old things creep in... To all my Brothers and Sisters: You Are Worth It!!! Hard Doesn't mean Impossible!!! You Are Loved!!!! Good Reaction and Review!!!
I fear it might not be appropriate to thank you for your service since I'm not american. Be assured though that any person serving, wherever that might be, has my utter respect. Keeping the demons at bay, doing what is in their power at the very least.
Thank you so much and yes it is appropriate my friend, Even as an American vet I respect and appreciate what other nations soldiers and sailors do for their country.
I'm a Vet. I thought it couldn't be said better. They can use everyone's help to get them out of their minds and back with us. I feel any little thing you can do to help would be great just a little v
love and kindness goes a long way with them.
Well said my friend! And I totally agree!
This song has always made a heavy hit to me. I’ve traced my genealogy and I’m the first boy in my family history that hasn’t served in the military for 300 years and I’m the last boy in family. I maxed out all their tests multiple times but they kept denying me and wouldn’t say why even when they were desperate for people. I was confused but I’m starting to think it was a blessing. Who would I be today if they accepted. It didn’t end good for my relatives and many friends. But still I always wanted to uphold my family name. I like who and where I am today but always wondering what if.
Hey Bill, you are still a hero to me because your heart was in the right place and you can still be a great man without serving. A Big SALUTE!! to you my friend. Thank you so much for the comment!
I think I know why the military wouldn’t except you. there is always been a rule, the last family member of a bloodline is not allowed to serve. they are allowed to join, but they are not going to be put in a combat role where they could be killed. if I’m not mistaken, that’s what saving Private Ryan was based on.
@@tortilla.co605 yes you are correct
Thank you for your service. I will do my best to assist in any way. Getting my CNA to work with Veterans.
Thank you Tonia! And we appreciate everyone in positions like yours! a big SALUTE!! to you.
Thank you for reacting to this song!!
If you've heard of Sabaton, they do a lot of military songs as well. All of them great.
One of my most recent favorites is one about the marines, called Devil Dogs.
My uncle was in Vietnam and his ptsd was severe he at times woke up choking my aunt and she would've have to punch him to wake him up and he would cry with her and it was destroying him to hurt her when nothing he was doing on purpose. That last few years before he was able to snap out of it . He ended up lending on drinking nearly all the time and working two near full time jobs .They remained married for 50 yrs before he passed few years ago .
Omg! Rob.. I can relate to this story on so many levels bro! when I was married there was several times in my sleep I hit my wife acting out my nightmares and i cried, holding her and apologizing. In the end we both agreed it was best for everyone we go our separate ways but still remain friends. that was so hard for me but it was for the best. Thank you so much for the comment and a big SALUTE!! to your aunt for hanging in there till the end, God bless you and your family brother!
My brother is a Vietnam Vet. I have seen him struggle so much. We recently lost the youngest brother. I have only seen my brother cry once in my whole life up to this point and thats when we lost our mom. Then to lose our brother just broke him. They were "connected at the hip" as the people around here would say. Me and him dont talk much but it broke me seeing him like this. There are 4 of us left in which i am the youngest. No one really understands untill you look a combat vet in the eyes during a funeral and burial of a close family member and see tears come from this rock hard person. He has never talked to anyone about his time in Nam. He said we dont need that picture in our heads.
Not to disrespect anyone but the song is brilliant. I heard it a few times before seeing the film clip (I tend to listen to music more than watch videos). Seeing the clip kinda changed the meaning of the song for me and it became so much deeper and meaningful. Now that you've seen the clip, turn your back on the video and listen to the lyrics. It just drops poignancy line after line. Great reaction guys. Thank you.
I fail to understand how your statement might disrespect anybody.
Edit: With common sense I might add.
@@HolyArmin it could be interpreted that my comment criticises the video. That is certainly not the intention. My point is that most reaction videos on UA-cam focus heavily on the video and address the lyrics as a 2nd priority. With this song, I find the lyrics even more profound than the video.
How exactly would that disrespect someone?
i served 2 years in bosnia thank you for your service.. the things we saw there i hope no have to see ... i saw how evil man can be and how kind people can be as well...
I'm 19 years in the Army with time in Afghanistan. I've got problems, but not to the level depicted in this video; however, I do no many that do. I appreciate your reaction and the service by both of you!
First and foremost thank you for your service and for volunteering to protect us. What pisses me off is that our "leaders" are more worried about people in other countries than our own, especially our military veterans. This also falls on those members of the country who treat our veterans poorly. Our veterans volunteered to fight for this country while others sat on their butts doing nothing. They deserve the respect they earned defending this country. We need to do so much better especially for our veterans!
There is a video I saw of the band during a concert stopping and recognizing a veteran in the audience who's daughter had written to them about him. Not only did they recognize him they also had found out that the daughter was having trouble getting money to go to college, they helped her go to college. I can't remember if it was just the first year or all of her schooling. I'm sure there are more videos of similar things but that was the one I saw. They are awesome.
Thank you so much Ma'am, and thank you for that info. I never knew that, these guys are so awesome, knowing that now makes me like this group even more. So much respect and appreciation for them. Thank you again!!!!
The “You saved my life brother” line breaks me every time. You also see how that scene mirrors the one overseas where the black man gets shot. The bearded man uses the cloth around his neck to tie the black man’s wound & he grabs him by the collar to get him up & help him get help. In the ending scene, the black man uses his handkerchief to help stop the bearded man’s tears (his “wound”) & grabs him up by the collar (same way) to get him up so he can help him get help.
I have lived outside the gates at Ft Meade my whole life. I went to high school and middle school on base. So many of my friends were military kids and they went into the military after graduation.
Desert Storm & Grenada were the first things that they experienced, then 2001 hit... So many of them came back changed, they lost everything and lost themselves. I have spent many nights sitting with friends talking them, crying with them to get them to reach out to the VA for mental health services.
The streets of Baltimore and DC are filled with veterans who have nowhere else to go.
Thank you for doing this react. I have shared it with my friends in hopes that they will share the links at the end
I love this song...ppl need to be aware of what's going on with veterans...I believe a lot of women have a glamorized idea of being married to someone in the military...my husband is 20 yr vet and our eldest son is national guard...u are 100% correct about the marriage drama while they're serving...they need to keep their head on when they're in combat or they can get themselves/others killed...whenever my husband called home I never told him about the bs at home cuz he needed to remain focused...thank you both for your service 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
SALUTE! to you Ma'am for being there for your husband. You may not know this but your are the most powerful weapon he has..The will and determination to make it home to someone special! Thank you so much for the comment.
I am a disabled Vet. I was homeless for 4 yrs. It's freaking hard it get back. I started working for the VA Hosptial. I ended up becoming a Whistle Blower. Currently on disability but trying to find help. I am going to start a program where Veterans help Veterans. I think it truly is the only way to heal.
Gentlemen thank u both 4 ur time served
Thank you so much
One of the many things this song says is that for a lot of non-military people that haven't been through a struggle anywhere near what those people go through when they been in combat it is absolutely easier to just turn away and ignore it then it is to face it that's not right because of what they faced so that you have the right to turn away and face away you'll have to make your own choices and do your own thing but I hope all of you become strong enough to face it and help those that stood for you
ty men for yalls service. its much appreciated.
Cuts to the heart! Thank you, for sharing!
I'd like to give a second ,👍 for you guys discussing these issues. You don't have to solve every problem, just talking about it spreads it's awareness
Thank you so much Jonathan. I hope it helps!
Allied veteran to Allied veteran, thankyou for reacting to this song. While this video has US statistics, the plight of homeless veterans and veterans passing from their own hand is similar here in Australia. There really needs to be more awareness and more support.
I urge ANYONE, Veteran or Civilian, to seek help if you're struggling. The only time we should look down on someone is when offering them a hand up, there is zero shame in seeking health and to better yourself.
Much love and respect guys 💜🇦🇺
Need to say only one thing: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! Major respect and props for any law or military person...
You guys are real ones, love it. New sub from Germany here. Respect!
The greatest honor in my life was working with veterans in a veterans nursing home.
Thank you for all that you do!!!!
I take my time to thank and sit and talk to a vet everytime I can, hell buy them lunch too, it's the least we can do for the vets. Every little gesture to show them that they are appreciated matters. God bless our troops
thank you both for your service🖤
