Anyone in here in 2024 ?
Yes
This was my army buddy's and my song while we were in during the global war on terror. Unfortunately he took his own life when he came back, this song makes me tear up with sorrow and pride. R.i.p
Spc. Simmons. He was just a good ol boy from Kentucky
2024 & still listening
Meeee 🙌
I’m here.
This song is my grandpa. Born in 33, served in the military and married to the love of his life for 63 years... I lose it every time.
Along with somebody's chelsea by Reba. That's the marriage I aspire to have, and what my grandparents are.
both my grandparents are 96yrs old, and have been married for 74 yrs... you just dont find a love like that anymore.....
my other grandparents are passed on, but ill never forget the old b/w photo on the mantle from there wedding day papaw was in his army uniform, on crutches cause he had stepped on a land mine in Germany.... mamaw had never looked more beautiful.... killer song, really pulls at ya heartstrings....

I love that song 😂😂😂😃😄😅😆😉🤗😇😮😇😇😇😇
This song is what is the story of my Dad! He, went over seas when he was 17, had his 18th birthday going over seas! Fought in Korea, for 4 yrs! My, Dad is gone but this is the story of his life and mine! Love you Daddy! He, was hell of a soldier!
same for me and my uncle never came home 🗽🤛👊🌎
I can't believe I haven't heard this until now. I gave up on Country Music a few years ago because it just ain't Country anymore. It tells a story, like a song should do. It makes me think of all those years ago. Mamaw and Papaw have been gone since 1977, Dad left us in 2002 and Mom left us in 2016. I can't even say how much I miss all of them. This song is what I needed today. God bless those generations that came before us.
I know, It seems like they young artist & their songs country mixed with some type of rap music.
Amen ❤✝️
I hear you. As I have watched the generations pass away before me … and realize that it is now up to me to choose what memories I leave my children and grandchildren … my heart aches for my parents and grandparents. They left me strong and sturdy … now to make sure I leave my family safe and steady … knowing they are loved unconditionally and for always.
This is an oldie country song that will outlast a million new country songs. Jamey is amazing!! Writes for a lot country artists
Yesterday,yes ,I feel you my friend,😢it ain't like the good ole days
I picked & played this specifically for my Grandpa at his funeral in 2016. He was an extremely decorated WWII Veteran. A member of the Elite Merrill's Marauders, an all volunteer unit. His allegiance to this Country doesn't end there. About 20 years ago he informed us, casually I might add, that he was a Code Talker during the war as well. Native American Code Talkers are the reason we won the War in my eyes. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his acts of bravery Above & Beyond the call of duty. He never spoke much about the War when I was growing up & now I understand why. He was one of roughly 200 men who survived hell and back numerous times during their operations to overtake the Japanese. Of the original 2997 that volunteered for Merrill's Marauders, only 130 were found fit for duty when the missions were complete. He had no Heros welcome home by any means. He still was not allowed to enter the Businesses in Harlem, MT. Many of these businesses that proudly displayed signs stating "NO INDIANS ALLOWED" are still in operation today in our small town. At 92 years old he was officially Named the Chief of the Nakota people in Fort Belknap, MT for his acts of bravery. This scared Chief Ceremony had not been done for over 130 years. I am beyond blessed that my daughters were old only enough to witness this & remember this scared Ceremony. My youngest daughter actually participated in the Ceremony that day. Additionally, yes Additionally, he was awarded an Honory Doctorate from Montana State University Northern in 2012 for all his humanitarian contributions to not only the people of our Reservation, but the entire Country. Yes, I am extremely proud to be a direct decendant of this honorable man. Dr. Gilbert Horn Sr., Chief Return's with Prisoner Horse of the Nakoda Tribe. But to me he was Grandpa 💞 Thanks for reading if anyone is still interested 😀
Wow what a story, thanks for sharing. We Americans now take for granted our great nation and the sacrifices others made for us.
Proud of you, your family and your heritage
Sounds like a badass
your grandfather was a true hero.
Thank you
This is, in fact, the perfect Country & Western song.
100% Agree - Unfortunately the next generation may not understand.
It's awesome amen thank you Jesus amen ❤❤❤
Nothin about trains
@@joey-iz3tdOr mama, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk.
Absolutely.
Hey Jamie, thank you for this song and thank you for walking on stage with Oliver Anthony. Both mean a lot to all of us. God bless you and your family and your future.
Olivier Anthony brought me here...life is so amazing.
Me too Chris-Oliver has opened my eyes
Jamey*
This is a great song man
U have to check out Oliver Anthony's porno shoot. A1 filming
At my last foster home I heard this song. Every year or so since then, I think about it. Today on the way to my “grandmas” funeral… I watched the video finally again. The line about not knowing what is hiding behind the gray, then the change to in color, made me hopeful. It made me remember that though some days are gray, I shall enjoy the moments in color right now, so one day, I can share of my times with whoever is willing to listen. That makes me hopeful for a better future. Thank you, Jamey✨ May all those reading, be blessed✨
Praying for us all girl, keep the faith ❤
This song is a complete tribute to the greatest generation that ever walked on this earth. Thank you dad…
Couldn't agree more. My ole man survived D Day & never talked about it or carried himself any different. He knew who he was & didn't need to show it. R.I.P. Pops 🙏
I agree 100%
I'm def older than that generation....born in '89, but I'm an old soul and I'm terrified in the direction the world is headed.
@@aaronkirkland5211 You mean definitely younger?
@@vanlifebiker either that or buddy just turned 132
How in the hell did I not hear this song before? This is a masterpiece in storytelling.
One of the best country songs of all time. You must have just started listening.
Oliver Anthony did a cover of this. That made me search this. Amazing song!!!!
@Stovenator5000 Me too. I never heard this before till I heard Oliver Anthony's cover song of this.
Welcome friends, kick yeer boots up, beer in that cooler 🤙
It really is.
I think this song is one of the most under appreciated songs in country music. I still don't understand how this song was beat out by Taylor Swift at the CMA. I never get tired of this song. It has so much meaning. Is so well written.
I'm sure a sad truth is, country music Isn't Country Anymore. and taylor swift isn't country, she's a pop tart. If I'm gonna go that route, I'd rather listen to Britney or Shania. Amen 🙏 Jamey Johnson. 🇺🇸
Taylor who ?
@@jasonshoop4306Taylor shit !!!!
Country hasn't been country in decades.
Taylor....what a laugh.
There are no words on Earth, to convey how absolutely artistic, and brilliant this song is. My Grandfather was a part of the 4th Marine Division in WW2. I'm a 20 year combat Veteran. I will never not tear up a little bit listening to this song.....
Semper Fi Brother I was in Viet Nam But Yeah Powerfull song
Semper Gumby I was in Iraq 03-06
Marine Infantry (0311), 1990-1994. Semper Fi
I'm a 46yr old US Army vet of two combat tours in Iraq, 03-05, my Dad served in combat in Vietnam 69-70, his Dad, my Grandfather, a radio man at Utah Beach on D-Day in 1944, hit with German fire and was wounded, his younger brother, my Great-Uncle, served in combat in Korea 53-54, wounded badly with his right leg bein damn near blown off at the knee....all of 4 of us proudly served this nation, took our Oath of Enlistment very seriously and my Dad and I still do, and we all have suffered from the memories of the shit we saw, the shit we had to do, of the brothers who we lost to enemy fire....When I think back and remember the shit I wanna forget about Iraq, I can't get the smell of burning oil and human flesh outta my nose for hours afterward, it's the damnedest thing and not even time is helpin me forget that smell, it's as strong as ever...anyway, THANK YOU to anyone commenting here who served in a branch of our military, and yes, even you squids from the Navy....lol.....HOOAH
Thank you and your family for serving to keep our freedom free God bless you and your family.
When I enlisted we weren't called squids...we were called WINS (Women in Naval Services)...So yes a Navy girl here...I want to thank you and your family for serving...May God Bless You All.
Thank you .
Thank you brother us army vet from 2014 to late 2017
Thank you 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
We played this at my great grandfather’s funeral today he served in world war 2 and this will now always have a special place in my heart
🇺🇸
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SONG . AWESOME! .. IM SURE IT FIT PERFECT. 👍
Sorry to hear that but this a amazing
Sorry for the loss, my grandfather was also in ww2, Korea, and desert storm in his mid 60’s, he just had his second stroke at 93 and my family is starting to think about how much longer he has. It’s never easy losing someone with so much presence it could fill a room without a word being said. I hope you find peace again soon
Thank him for his service🇺🇸
Our Dad was part of that great generation. Wounded at the Battle of the Bulge went on to raise all of right. He saw it all in color ❤
My father went from Omaha Beach d day, the bulge, and wed my mother after the war.
We were farmers, S.E. tenn.
One of the few country songs in the last 20 years that’s worthy of being a classic.
County is my favorite but that being said this will always be a masterpiece
this is my paw paw to the bone 11/26/1919- 12/21/2015 love you forever
That is sad. my grandma was born a few weeks earlier and is not too healthy, just fell and got stitches.
+Shawn Langlois do you mean Great grandma unless you have an anti aging spell
+Tyson422 yeah because people living over 95 is unheard of these days....
+Jarrod Arnett in his profile picture the Kid looks 7
+Jarrod Arnett thats true
My dad went through the Depression in foster homes. He enlisted in the Army in 1942. Survived the war in Europe. He died in 1991. Dad I miss you a lot.
deep shit
He was a true hero. I'm sorry to hear he died
I hope you pulled through.
what was he like?
🙏🏼🇺🇸
This song makes me cry and it gives me goosebumps . One of the greatest songs I have ever heard .
Amen
@@HACKEDHahaha1 Yup. It is so powerful.
It's giving me goosebumps right now listen to this song
Yeah and on color it was a lot worse
Yep, I was in tears all the way through. I had never heard of Jamey Johnson before he sang with Oliver Anthony. Don't know where I have been or where I was when this one came out. Incredible song.
It's wonderful how we're all being united through Oliver Anthony.... Love to you all from Australia & what an amazing song this is...a new favourite ❤
Amen, I’m not a country fan so I had never heard this - it is amazing so thanks Oliver Anthony for bringing us together and leading me to this incredible song!
@@pennytipp Hello! How are you doing? Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you are a fan? Have a great day… Stay Safe
Yes!
One of the greatest country songs ever written. Shoot, it’s one of the best written songs of any genre ever.
Agreed.
Totally disagree. But never mind.
@@MrsSlocombesPuddyCat talk to me lol what songs would you say?
I agree.
This song, Trace Adkins: Arlington, John Michael Montgomery's: Letters from home, Montgomery Gentry: (the title escapes me), but if you're familiar with the group you know the song... Just to name a few others.
My grandfather went down in a helicopter in Vietnam. Killed 4 Vietcong and hauled his fellow solider through the jungle and back to his camp about 8 miles away. Him and the other solider survived, but the other 4 soldiers in the helicopter didn’t make it. My grandpa suffered from PTSD and survivors guilt. And still does. He has cancer now and doesn’t have long left. This song will forever make me think of him. Love you grandpa.
I thank him for his service
Jamey is the man. we need more music like this today. This guy Brett McDaniel is good too. ua-cam.com/video/nWpwnKcJzrY/v-deo.html God bless our troops. 0311 USMC, I miss that Infantry life. Your grandpa is a hero
Your Grandpa is a hero..I salute him!!
God bless your grandfather... A TRUE HERO!
The first time I saw color it was great. Maybe something I sad of seen alot soner. I sad looked alot sacher
He didn't blow up because he refused to sell out. He's a musician. Not a "Country Pop Star" My daughter danced with her dad to Baby Don't Cry at her wedding. Great musician.

Weird how one of the songwriters for this was a judge on the USA Songwriting Competition where Carbon Leaf won best lyrics for "The War Was In Color" years before this song came out.
this is one of those songs that when it comes on you turn it up and you listen quietly and just soak it all in. this song gives me chills every single time I hear it. ♡
You nailed it on the head D Kelley! I can't agree with you more!! I'm blasting this song as I'm typing with goosebumps down my back!
allan jackson
A perfect comment D. Kelley
yes it does for me to i love this song
D Kelley .
This song is American as it gets!! Salute to all the veterans, Thanks for the sacrifice you made for our freedom, GOD BLESS!!
Chris Begley-84 thanks you
Amen!! 👍
And about the grandpas who grieved their mistakes with their sons and made it up to G_d by being good to their grandsons.
correction needed. This song is human as it gets.
This song makes me tear up I couldnt imagine going threw that shit
My grandeddy just died a couple weeks back. He was a Korean and Vietnam vet. His life resembles this song. And boy did he love my grandmother.
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support❤️😊❤❤
This song could have been written about my granddad, WW2 and Korea, and my beautiful blue eyed grandmama ❤ came on the radio as I headed to work one day to open a coffee shop at 4am - by the time I got home at noon, my cousin was calling with the news that he had finally joined her, 4 months after she passed ❤
My grandpa fought in Vietnam and got shot two times in the head he survived and currently has stage 4 lung cancer and two years ago he gave me his 2 Purple Hearts and his dog tags. Will always be my most prized item I own
He sadly passed on 4/14/20
Edit: Since his passing I now own almost all of his war stuff including the folded flag they give you, and all the notes he wrote to my family while he was over there.
Thanks for (his) service
Please thank him for his services.i got my grandpa's Purple Heart medals,along with one of my uncle's who just passed away.he was an Army Ranger.My Grandpa was in the Marines.God rest both of their souls.those are my prized possessions along with all of the other medals and patches I got from them.
Thank Him for his Service
Respect
Thank him for our freedom 🇺🇸
Paul Gibson: Canton, NC. Grandfather, WW2 vet, worked at Champion paper mill when he got back for over 40 years. I love and miss him. The older i get the more i appreciate him. Men like him are not being replaced, i'll do my part to protect our flag til i leave this rock....in his honor. Serious stuff...
Salute! Canton, NC. Lived there in the mid 70's. Went to Canton Jr. High. Stopped thru in 2011 on vacay with my son to show him where I lived as a kid. Lots of stories to tell made there. That Champion papermill made that town. American.🇺🇸
My dad was in Korea when I was born, came home with 2 purple hearts and dist serv cross, found out much later he was at Chosin reservoir, never talked about it, just said never been so cold. His kind aren't seen much now but this song always makes me think of him
Its still a classic, and its one that some of us have lived!🇺🇸🇮🇱 God bless the USA!👰⛪🕊️
🇵🇸 get out of Palestine! ,🇮🇪
This was one of my dads favorite songs. He passed away in January. I’m glad I can still find comfort in the songs he loved💛
My dad was part of the greatest generation and for those who were part of it, calling you the greatest just doesn't seem to be enough. My hat goes off to all of you, thank you so much
❤
💯
❤🇺🇸
Thank them for Communism, inflation, hatred for Whites, etc. What a legacy.
❤
I'm a 35 year old guy from England. I only came across this song in the last year. I have no real direct frame of reference for the scenes portrayed in these lyrics, but despite that this song makes me cry every time I hear it. Astonishing piece of music.
Youre welcome to a barbeque at my place any day. We'll set off fireworks, shoot some clay pigeons and we'll be free. Also due to the times , God save the Queen. See you around friend.
The decade of the 30's the US was in it's worst economic depression. So many people suffered from hunger. In the 40's after the bombing of Pearl Harbor the US was no longer playing an indirect role in WWII. The song then transitions over to his grandfather's account of the war then finishes up with his story about coming home and continues into today....this is an amazing well written contribution of his grandfather's table talk of his life!
I've heard this song a hundred times and it makes me cry every dang time. This could be my grandpa he's singing about and I miss him so much. I agree. This song is just astonishing
Thinking of my brother, Pete Sutphin who passed away two years ago today. I miss him SO flipping much! I love you Bro, your Sis, Rose
This song reminds me of my time with grandpa as a kid. He never talked about being in WW2, but when grandma would bring out pictures, his face would light up and each picture had a story. When grandpa passed in 2017, my heart broke because I never got to tell him goodbye and I never got to the end of the story. God I miss you Grandpa Sherman. Thank you for all the pictures and stories.
I feel this deeply. The grandpa I did meet was under appreciated by my young self with all his stories and culture and it does make me sad but happy from what I did get to experience
yeah, should have seen it in color. Vietnam 1970. me and Dave and Don and Floyd and Eddie all went in in 69. my brother went in in 67. Floyd didn't make it, Don didn't get to Vietnam, Eddie was captured, escaped with some others, he was never the same. my brother, Dave and I were wounded. not complaining, we asked for it be cause we all believed. Bless em all. this song brings it back, and not in a bad way...
Thank you all for your service
Thanks for your service brother...i truly mean that
Thanks for your service ! God bless you
Man, thank you guys for your service, it won’t be forgotten sir! God bless!
Thanks for your service! God Bless Americans like you
My Dad was a Korean War soldier ( A purple heart and 1 gold leaf cluster) bronze star.. My brother..101 1st air cav.. Vietnam.. I was an honor guard (I buried hero's) I looked at black and white pictures.. Thanks for the great music Sir, And thanks to all military past,present, future for your service, amen
What year did your brother serve in the 1st air cav? My old man was in 64-65 with Col Moore at La Drang. He was the radio op when Col Moore called in Broken Arrow. Culbertson was his last name.
God bless our troops and heroes, past and present. We are free and live in the most amazing country on earth!!!! And God bless the UNITED STATES of AMERICA!!!🇺🇲
America has always been GREAT!
48yr old, New Zealand here.
Bloody hell. What a tearjerker.
On my playlist on spotify now.. off to find more of your songs!
This song reminds of my 92 year old Dad's life. He grew up as son of a farmer in North Carolina. He was in WWII and Korea. That generation never complained. They just took care of each other.
They complained about black people wanting basic human rights.
@@mikeallen748 Every generation has their flaws. But playing the race card. You must be a Democrat
Libertarian. Nice try tho.
Amen to that. Little shit heads now and days could learn ALOT from them..thats how I was raised,when you started complaining and crying about stuff,then they would really give you sumthin to cry and wine about.
They took care of business. No matter how hard it was
I remember my grandfather telling me the only candy he had during the great depression was a lump of brown sugar. Its why that generation loved candy so much, it was a luxury to them.
I never knew mine...
that hit the heart
I wich I could have my family Back but you see my love has passed over to the other side my mother and father bough have passed as well so I am a very lonely so I lesson to my loves song by Chris C hurchills song ricking ball l fill her with me and i city my eod out
I hat this songs it just makes me sad
Charlotte Seeger
Maybe the greatest country song ever
My grandfather played a part in World War 2 and earned 2 purple hearts I love thinking about how scary and cool to serve the country. God bless all.
This song takes me back to the early 90s. A six year old sitting at a kitchen table listening to a ball game on the am radio looking at a black and white photo album with my hero (grandfather). Verse two hits me so hard, my grandfather flew a b-17 throughout ww2 fighting in 8 different battles including D-day. He also had a unbreakable bond with his tail gunner. It makes me sad knowing where we came from, and knowing how hard our ancestors fought for our land and liberties while our leaders piss it all away. Amen and god bless to all who have severed, sacrificed, and died for our country 🇺🇸
Yes indeed. Never forget about the people that fought for Our FREEDOM.
Me, sitting at the kitchen table, 6 years old...1992. The smell of cigarettes, the sound of country music softly playing in the background...the parents and older folks sipping coffee...those were the days....the last of the true "good ol'days." Small town America. ❤
That is why I served in the us army....I still feel that I didn't do enough for our fellow soldiers and vets. Now I am a veteran and remember everything as if it was yesterday
I couldn't have said it any better than you.... " It makes me sad knowing where we came from, and knowing how hard our ancestors fought for our land and liberties while our leaders piss it all away. Amen and god bless to all who have severed, sacrificed, and died for our country 🇺🇸"
@@chrismiller4015 thank you for your service from the front porch, in the sticks of southeast Ohio.
This guy has no idea how many tight tough spots this song has powered me through. This is one of those songs that speaks to the soul.
Love and empathy have are colourblind
Honestly
I'm sure he knows...
It speaks so much to the memory of elders
@@johnnyutah482 he must. What a masterpiece. I feel the same though. This song has outlived friendships and a marriage and right now at 30 I'm thinking about how much has changed, I wish I did something cool like serve in the military or had a real career, thinking how much my face has changed so quickly from stress.
My Grandpa was an airplane mechanic in the world wars. Grandpa and grandma had 11 kids.....this song reminds me of them SO much! Every line about this song resonates with me. They both were SO committed to each other! Songs like this don't exist anymore. Jamey Johnson is a legend!
Definitely one of the greatest of all time, of all genres; of all.
One of the most underappreciated country songs of all time
And under appreciated singer.
Love this song!
@@charlesgreathouse7376 no doubt
It did win song of the year at least
@@happyvalleybooksandstories22A me too
The older I get (60 next week) the more I want a time machine. Those days were magic, and we didn't have a clue.
Hello how are you doing..?
Hello Luckiest fan !!😍 I appreciate you guys for your continuous love, I’m glad you never stop supporting me .. feel free to contact me through email address on the description of the channel
“”REAL FANS ONLY “”🎉❤
Yes. Beautiful memories I missed the old days this is when music was music I love this what a unique voice. How are you Cynthia ?
It's 2023 now. I still cry every time I hear it.
Respect
Absolutely loved this song since it came out, but last year I lost someone I considered a brother and on the way to the funeral this came on and his fiancé brother, sil and I all sang this crying. This song hits so much harder these days 😢
This song also reminds me of my grandparents. My grandfather served in WWII as one of the ORIGINAL Navajo Codetalkers. First 13. He developed the Code. My grandmother stayed in the states and worked in a Factory in California making parts for many air crafts. They were in love. She never knew of what he did in the war until the late 1970's early 1980's. He was sworn to secrecy and he uphold his promise to the USMC. I am PROUD of his courage and he is a true warrior like all that take the oath and wear the uniform. If it had not been for the Navajo Codetalkers, the war may have led a different path.
Theres a reason they were the Grestest Generation. We cant say thank you enough. We have it so easy compared to them.
james peyton There's always the complaint of the previous generation calling the newest generation soft, but I think every generation after the greatest generation is soft because they didn't go through anything like WWII. That's why I like takling to old people. It's going to suck when they're all gone.
i here ya I always take the time too thank a vet when I see one of them in public especially WW2 vets
each war had it's problems; wwII a generation of men was nearly wiped out, very few are aware of what happened in korea, and the vietnam war was not highly supported at the time.
God Bless that man.
Just before my friends grandfather passed away, we went for a visit. His grandmother sat down with me and thumbed through an old black and white photo album. She smiled as she stopped on a picture of proud young man standing in front of shiny car. The picture was taken in 1939. She smiled and said "Look at him, this was taken when he came to pick me up on our first date". The next photo was of him, with a group of other young men. She paused, said nothing for a minute or so, then said "There he is with John. John didn't come back from the war....a lot of them didn't". Then she closed the album and walked away.
Every time I hear this song I think of my Dad .I grew up on a farm .My Dad served in Korea and my mom and Dad were married for 49 years before my Dad passed away great song it tells a lot of stories that we can relate to
Ah, this one here was taken overseas,
In the middle of hell of 2003,
In the winter time,
You can almost see my sweat,
That was my battle buddy, Jason Rivera,
He was a tough Puerto Rican
From New York City
And he had my back
Right through the day we left.
That's my version because that was me in Iraq.

This song absolutely moves my soul. My great grandfather and his 6 brothers,1 sister did the Cherokee strip land run in about 1894. The std out land and Homes traded here in Oklahoma. Jet, Oklahoma is the town. Yes, the people voted and the town was named Jet. Because people had gotten used to saying lets go to Jets for the mail. So, the town has my last name. Cool story, rich history, no money trickled down because of it unfortunately. Not to me that is. But the pride I have in my family is deep. we had lots a lots of black and whites, even some tin plates of family pictures. This whole song makes me miss my elders. They are all gone. I'm the only Jeff in Jet now. So strange, so lonely. But I feel them. There here.
My son brought this song to my attention. He said it reminded him of Grandpa (my Dad) He was a tail gunner in World War 2 and is still living. I can't wait to share this with him. Music really brings it homes so many times. Tears tears tears...
Thank you Jamey Johnson!
for some reason i think its funny cause my brothers name is gunnar but its pronounced gunner.
If you're Dad is still with us, give him some love from Louisiana
Tina Leeth and Georgia too have the up most respect for our veterans thank him for me would you
Thanks for being an honest fan of mine thanks for the love and support hope I can reach out to you on your cellphone number❤️❤️

July 4, 2020. This song gives me the chills. It's a tough time in the US right now, and we are seeing it in color. I just want it to be red, white, and blue.
Amen. We The People Will See It Thru June 3rd 2021
The tough part is that the people of this country have different ideas of what red, white, and blue means to them.
@@stacyparker4559 Yup. The enemy is within, not overseas in the sand.

Remember hearing this song when I was a teen. My grandpa was a WW2 vet and it just spoke volumes with me. My grandparents grew up during the great depression. Now, i realize why grandparents saved and stored certain items. Thanks Jamey, and thank you for being to realist artist that showed up for Chris. (Oliver Anthony)
Dear God, I know I’ve heard this song in the past, however, it really really hit home for me tonight and I believe every word, and I want to revisit this song every day remaining of my life❤
Hello Shelley 👋 how are you ?
My Papa lived to be 94 yrs old. This song reminds me of him. He was in WW2 and told me several stories of him being in the US Navy. He was known throughout Georgia. He went through the Great Depression and he died a Millionaire several times over... I love you Papa! What an inspiration you are to me! I Love this Song!
My grand father was in the Navy during WWII
I have never know either of my grand dads. The one on my moms side died in a tractor acident out in a feild in 1965 2 years after my mom was born. My other grandparents died 30 or so years ago and i have no clue how. Atleast your grandpa lived to be 94.
Clayton Collier I wanna hear some of them stories if u don't mind I like to hear stories from our vets
Clayton Collier was he ever on the USS Terror?
Tears flowing thinking of my precious Papa. He went to Japan at barely 18 yrs old in the Army at end of the Korean War. He left us for heaven 5 rs ago. 5/12/30- 3/23/18.
I've loved this song for YEARS! My Dad was born in 1933. All the family pics were in black & white. I wasn't born till 1972. I listened to my Dad's childhood stories. If I only had a DeLorean to go back, I never met my grandpa (1904-1965). My grandma (1914-2000). They lived through the hard times.
Jamey Johnson is an underappreciated Country music star and a USMC veteran. The perfect American.
Didn't realize he was a vet. Thank you for that information!
He served in the Marine Corps Reserve as a Mortarman assigned to Wpns Co, 3rd BN 23rd Marines. He got out before the Iraq War, and used to spend his nights of the 2 weeks Annual Training, playing his guitar and singing in the Barracks. In 2003, I was attached to that same unit to be deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and I have been told stories from guys who served with him.
Who wrote this song?
I agree
BLESED THOSE MEN WHO FIGHT FOR The love of his country. GOD ALMIGHTY BESS THEM..
I work in a nursing home kitchen, and serve what's left of these folks their meals....there's no one like them, their numbers are dwindling; get every last story out of them that you can, especially now that CV is here....what a great tribute in song form.
❤❤❤❤❤ I hear ya!! I work in nursing homes taking care of the men that took care of us! I love and respect our Veterans!!
Thank you for taking care of them. They are a national treasure.
One day, I'll be there.....my own mortality
Yang Shen Thank you for your service!
@@13thvarebel16 Very nice of you to say...I'm honored. Those folks deserve our very best!
Today...July 6th I thought of this song out of the blue. I listened to it immediately. Just about made me cry. My grandmother is 98 and I know she could relate to this. I've held a grudge against my grandma for a few years maybe the concept of this song could heal us....❤
Same. I listened to this song probably 30 times yesterday. Reminds me of my Grandpa and Grandma. Grandpa lived to be 99. Gram 94. Oh, how I miss them! But I'm blessed to have had them into my 40s. They were the best!!! ❤
Awesome. I call my grandma Gram 🫶🏻. I call her that because she always had raisins and graham crackers for snack at her house.
@@mariehalsey8892 Hello! How are you doing? Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you are a fan? Have a great day… Stay Safe
I can't listen to this song without just crying my eyes out it's so beautiful
This song describes my dad. He enlisted in the Army after Pearl Harbor. I thank all who served. I love and miss my dad.
Awww, so sorry my dad served in te army for 8 years then he became a cop
Edit-the
Me too

This by far is one of the greatest tributes I’ve ever heard to the heroes of World War II. Both my father and my uncle served. My uncle was killed at the battle of coral sea as part of the marine detachment on the USS Lexington. My father served as well in the army. Fortunately he did come home. I wish he could’ve heard this song. I remember being a kid, and him calling the music I listen to jungle music. I know he would’ve appreciated this one though. Love and miss you dad and uncle Ed.
My grandpa on my mom's side served in the Pacific on the US Enterprise, he was a radio tech - I was too young when he passed but saw his b&w service photos. My dad's dad served in the army in France during 44-45 when they were pushing the Germans out of small villages in tanks - just a decade prior he was in a cornfield, giving bird calls & shooting whatever came out of the trees for supper. I love this damn song.
That was a strong ship there too. It’s survived a few attacks.The USS Lexington a.k.a. the gray ghost. They actually brought it back afloat and got it operable. If my memory serves me correctly, it’s either in California or Texas as a museum.
Both our relatives, we are true heroes. My father served in the army as petroleum engineer. Anybody that serves this country in a protective manner, is a hero in my eyes.
We have a photo of great-uncle Bill in 1945. He's smiling with the family. It was in black and white. What it doesn't show is the damage of being a POW of the Japanese for three years. Ulcers in his eyes rendered him virtually blind and malaria paralyzed him from the waist down when rescued. By the time of his discharged he recovered from if his sight and could shuffle walk. In the photo he's smiling. Inside he was mentally and physically wrecked.
Then to add to the problems, my grandfather, who also served in the war with the Army, comes home with a Japanese bride! The family was either cold or openly hostile to Grandma, the exception being one of Grandpa's brothers, Thomas, and Uncle Bill. According to Grandma, Uncle Bill never raised blamed her for what happened to him, name called, cursed, or even raise his voice at her, but he would not stay in the room with her for very long.
His name was was Corporal William Lee McMillan, USMC, Company M, 4th Marine Regiment. Captured in the Island of Corregidor in April 1942. Rescued at Bilibid Prison, Manila in February 1945.
My father served also inww2
D. Day , the bulde and on to the surrender. GOD bless those guys and gals of that generation...We can only pray that is not the end of the Blessings.
im dark 60 and i love this song reminds me of my grandma my aunty my mum the battlers put up with crap but still smiling and getting through life which i learnt from now my 22 yr old grandson looks up to me of all the crap i went through in life......i said i learnt it from my generation the old ppl they inspired me kept me going to which i learnt from God bless the battlers the triers that keep going while putting up with crap my hat goes off to all amen 😊❤🙏🧔♀👵💐🌹🥀
My grandpa was in the first division Marines stationed in Guadalcanal, South Pacific Japan. I inherited his USMC uniform from my grandmother. It’s my most prized possession. The blood, sweat and tears that are in that fabric is mind boggling. The things he did and had to see is something I would never want to “see in color”. He was the bravest and most badass man I ever knew. He was scared of nothing. That war changed him. He left a boy and returned as a man. How he survived that hell hole was all in God’s grace! It screwed him up mentally. I miss him everyday. We lost him in 1995. Greatest man anyone would ever want to know! USMC SEMPER FI STRONG!💪🇺🇸

My grandpa was at Guadalcanal as well. He also passed in '95. I wonder if they knew each other. They were amazing men asked to do more than any man should ever be expected to do.
Marines are the biggest badass's around.my dad is a Marine,inactive now,but as you no,once a badass Marine,always a badass Marine.My cousin is a Marine also.he just got done doing 13yrs of active duty.he was in the special ops.i have a total of 27 aunts and uncles that have served in every branch of the military. Every veteran I see,no matter where I am,or even if they are dickheads to me,I tell them how thankful and proud I am to be able to thank them for their services... I will b forever in debt,greatful and thankful for you,your family,my family and for EVERYONE else who has served and their families.. You are all in my ❤ and prayers..but,thank you sir for your services.i will b forever grateful.SEMPER FI 4life!
This song brings me to tears but I can't stop listening, I buried my father and March he was 96 three War veteran of the Marine Corps. The song makes me so proud of These Fine men who served and those of us who still do.

ERRRRAH!!
hbilly hoorah
I picked this song to be played at my grandpa's funeral a few months ago. This is the first time I've been able to listen to it since then and I'm crying so bad I think I'm going to be sick
today my Papa would have been 111 years old had he been still here it's been 11 years since God needed another Marine in Heaven WW2 Veteran and my Hero Happy Birthday Papa🫡🫡🫡🍻
Who else is here in 2019. Thank you to all the vets in this great country of the USA! Thank you for your service and bravery! R.I.P. Dad i miss you like crazy!,
😥😥
Yeah my Grandpa i never met died in world war 2 after they declared peace. My dad was in Correa. Rip Ronny Joe, "Dad", and Emmil Angle "Grandpa",...much love
My father and I both worked in the photo processing industry. We were there when we went from B&W to Color. Developing all that B&W images we would say “you should see that in color”. This song makes me cry thinking of all the times with my father. ❤
I just learned of this song. I live in San Francisco and don't hear a lot of country music here. I learned about this song from Oliver Anthony. It brought tears to my eyes. Thanks.
My Uncle Billy. Sitting on the couch. In our living room. A Vietnam veteran he was. Was showing me a picture of vietnam. When I said the place looked beautiful. He said to me "you should have seen it in color." I remember telling a guy this when we were in Maine. At a single retreat from churches gathering in Grey area. We gathered to have fun. When I heard this song. The words were almost exactly the same. As I said to him. I can't help but to wonder if the song was written by what I said . Or if it was a popular thing to say amongst the vietnam veterans. This was mid 70s.
My late grandfather was a marine
that fought in Guadalcanal during WWII. I can't listen to this song without shedding a tear.
😞
Same here.
That would happen with me if my great grandfather didn't speak to me though god
If you had a childhood this was the song that your dad would even tear up to...
yep
+Average WhiteGuy I did the first time I heard In Color
+Mike Thaxton think we all did bud
Grounded insanity yup
+Average WhiteGuy I still tear up and I have heard this song a million times
My granddad was in the Korean war..and the things he told me amazed me...and him ! Love u Granddad, miss u soo much !
Heard this player live. I cried when I heard it. Miss my grandpa who passed in 1997. I met Jamey after the show, I told him thank you for that song. He signed my hat and I gave him a hug and told him thank you. That was in springfield missouri
What happened to songs like this? I'm only 13 but I'm in love with this song ❤️they need to bring these songs back😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yea they really should I wish they would these songs are truly amazing
yes true music
look up chris stapalten
+anonymous gamer101 he is the only hope for country today
+Michael Vest Don't forget George Strait
I have one last great grandfather from ww2. He recently told me his stories, since his memory has started to go. It was the first time I saw the man cry. What he went through, he said, is something no person should ever have to do or see. He's 93 years old. His generation is passing, and I think he knows his time is coming. It's sad to see it happen with your own eyes. This song will always remind me of him.
Goodbye grandpap. I love you.
1923-2016
my great aunt. 1924-2014. my gf broke up w me the day she died. worst day ever
Logan, thanks for sharing this story. The sacrifices made for this country to be free is almost inconceivable. What an honor for you and others to have family who paid their dues and made the sacrifices. And what an honor for those of us who did not to live in this great nation.Tom
May God Bless your hero of a great grandfather and welcome him to Eternal Peace when He calls his name.
My Step Great grandpa died of leukemia the day before easter and whenever we would drive to lafeyette to see him he's be worse. Same with my grandpa we saw him everyday even the day he died. My grandpa waited until he saw everyone he could then when my MiMi left him in the Living room to get him food he passed he died only a few months ago while my Great Grandpa died in 2015
Song made my dad cry. That means something. Thank you for making a beautiful song in this era of shit pop country.
Man I hope every grandchild God willing has the opportunity to go through a photo album with a grandparent. That's what it's all about your loved ones from the past and the ones they loved ❤
At 60 years old, I've heard and lived through all the greats. This has to be right at the top of the all time best. I love it.
❤❤
Steve, I'm also 60 and yes, at our age we are blessed to have listened to the absolute best of country music. Songs like this reminds me of riding beside my dad in his 69 ford f-100 listening to am radio.
Every time I hear this song I tear up. Represents a time when everything was real and authentic.
It still is..remember this is 40 years
I don't think I have ever listened to this song with out tearing up. These words mean more than most can imagine
I have never yet listened to this song without sobbing.
Ditto brother
Yes!! Completely agree.
This is one of my favorite country songs, and that is saying something. Such a beautiful tribute to the lives of people and their memories, that only they can relive through the photographs. I tear up every time I hear it. Thank you, Jamey.
Good on ya for showing up at Oliver's shindig Jamey... Salute~
Drinking a beer on my porch listening to this. I listen to this song alot. My grandfather's both served this great country , and thankful for everyone who served
Semper Fi
hooah
THANK GOD FOR EVERYBODY WHO HAS EVER SERVED...i can't ever be grateful enough
Thank you
Rick loved this song. I always think of him when I heat it. Our grandparents and our history meant a lot to both of us because we were 2 broken people from broken families that managed to find each other and fall in love
This song is so good!
Great Uncle Howard Bessey..... never came back.....great grandma ....she never gave up hope...today... today Howard will walk in that door.
I was born in '78.
Never knew great grandma.
My dad remembers her...
He remembers Howard
Just a young man doing his duty.
Thank You Uncle Howard..
Hello! How are you doing? Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you are a fan? Have a great day… Stay Safe
Buddy I will pray for you sir. GOD bless you sir!
This song was written for the love of life. Thank you Jamie.
AMEN BROTHERS HEARD THAT
its 2020 the world is eating its self alive and people have forgotten what it took to have the peace we have .... this song deserves more recognition than a side note in life. Semper Fi.
We're on our way to world war again. Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak mean create hard times.
this song ain't no side note- it's a history lesson about life. OOOOOORAAH!
Roger that. My family has served this country in every war (and "police action") including the Revolution. We saw it in color. If you paid for it with your own sweat and blood, you know what it's worth.

Semper Fi my brother!
Jamey’s gravelly voice perfectly complements the instrumentation and lyrics. Love this.
My Grandpa on my father's side was a flight engineer on a B-25 Mitchell. My Gramps on my mother's side was a gunners mate in the Navy; during WW2. I miss them all! and I'm very thankful for every sacrifice they and each of their wives (both of my grandmother's) made; To provide me a better life, and freedom. God bless the greatest generation! Miss and love all of y'all, and your stories. ❤️.
Hello how are you doing today?😊
