I am a bluegrass musician and I love this song, I think of my dad, brother and two nephews who have served in the military. I thank god for keeping his hands on them and keeping them safe and bringing them back home. My dad just celebrated his 94th birthday. Thanks Ricky for recording this such a beautiful song.
I have just lost a brother who was a Marine Viet Nam vet. I had to post this song as a tribute to him and an uncle who was a WW2 vet. So touching, a timeless work, and a moving tribute to our veterans. When you get up tomorrow, thank God and a vet, your living in a great country.
MY DAD HAS GONE HOME NOVEMBER 19, 2008. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW, HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU. HOW COULD GOD LEAVE ME HERE WITH YOU? YOU WERE MY WHOLE LIFE. I DID EVERYTHING IN LIFE FOR YOU. I AM SO EMPTY INSIDE WITHOUT YOU. I DIED THE DAY I LOST YOU. I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE FOR JUST FIVE MINUTES WTH YOU. I MISS YOU MY BEST FRIEND. ALWAYS AND FOREVER DADDY. BARBARA
I am an aging Viet Nam Vet and I have seen most every one of my old buddies wither and go home. I keep on keeping on here and I praise my Father daily for using me and allowing me to keep writing about those days n times in poetry and song. Thank you for posting this and putting your Godly Talent to impact those that listen to this and view it. God Bless You
Keep writing brother. Viet Nam era vet. Never went in country but the rest of us were support. Have brother-in-law decorated by Westmoreland for defending almost overrun fire base. Over 7000 rounds of M-16 ammo by small group of surviving defenders. He is dying slow death from exposure to Agent Orange as it destroys organs. Most did not survive but know that many war deaths are NOT ON THE BATTLEFIELD. Many are back home in rehabs, VA homes and hospitals.
I just sent the last member of my family from that generation home to heaven. We will miss you all. Rejoice in heaven Grandpa, Uncle Hoover, and Uncle Bollie. You fought in foreign lands so we could have our way of life.
I came across this video some years back really touches home with me. I had a Uncle killed in Luembourg on December 23rd of 44 during the bulge he is also buried there he was only 19 forever young all you men from the greatest generation are my heroes RIP one and all
When I was growing up in the fifties and sixties in a small town, only about 1500 people., Several of the men my parents age walked with limps or other signs of having been wounded in some way could be seen in our daily lives. As children we just thought it was normal. And, As children living in peace and blissful ignorance of the evil they had destroyed, we hardly recognized the sacrifice and suffering they had endured . Yes, they have gone home and I dearly miss them.
So sad. I remember a few Ww2 town characrers who were combat vets. One was 'sarge' who would go to local cafe, buy 3 cups of coffee, sit on sidewalk and "talk to his men". There were others who were "alkys" and unfairly misjudged because people did not understand the HELL they survived. God bless ALL our veterans. May we wake up and realize there are many homeless vets today that are being misjudged and cast aside by an ignorant, forgetful, society and non-caring, profit driven politicians.
The Greatest Generation! No ONE can take it away from them. My father was one of them. Let us try to walk in their footprints, IF we can. I'm not so sure we can.
My brother, Cpl. Jerry Lee Roberts, USMC, was the first Marine KIA from our town,also the first KIA from any branch, 1Sept65 Always say Thank You for serving to ALL VETERANS, without them we would be lost indeed. God bless you all.Mt.Clemens,Michigan
I generally refer to this generation as the Greatest Generation. Whether they were on the warfront, or back home holding things together, they did what they did because... that's just what you do. I salute you.
That type of attitude of doing what needs to be done no longer exist today it’s a shame this country would be so much better if people did nt ask for hand outs
My brother Burl Bland at 24.3, Passed away on July 6 2000. He was 88th Airborne, Seved in Korea too. I miss him still. God Bless you for doing this, sir.
This song touches my heart. It reminds me of my grandfather, who was in the Navy during WWII, and my wonderful grandmother who waited at home for him to return. Now they have both gone home. I miss them and hope to visit with them again some day.
Many of these men are of my dad's generation, grew up during the depression, and fought in WW2. Dad would be 98 if he was still around. I'd say he was a war hero, but he'd say no, the heroes were the ones that didn't make it back. I guess it's like the bumper sticker, "All gave some, Some gave ALL" Many thanks to all who served. And, thanks for the video!
This song touches my soul. You see, I too have lost friends. My family and I are proud of my 23 years of service. Who are we to challenge the Almighty's plans. Rest in peace buddy.
The Vietnam War was a bitter time for all of us alive then we spent a lot of time trying to figure this war out. I would like to memorialize, here, the three young men who died in that war. They came from Lyons & Muir Michigan, adjoining towns. The population combined of Lyons and Muir couldn't have been more than 900 people so I think we paid disproportionately in lives lost. The three are Terry Simon, Neil Potter and Herbert Loucks.
Reminder of My dad, and uncles, friends,neighbors, and my fellow veterans, who have gone home. Love this song....leaves a lump in my throat, and tears in my eyes!!
From South Africa - I have listened to this song over and over - cannot help but become emotional. Thanks Ricky and K T- love all your songs I can get hold of on UA-cam.
You did a good job. My dad was in the South Pacific but the guys that fought that war all seem like my own dad. He died from wounds after the war when I was really little I don't remember him so that's the reason WW2 vets are precious all vets are precious
I found this while watching another country song, I had 4 great uncles served in WWII and a few other wars. They are all 4 laid to rest now side by side with their service plaques on their graves. I used to sit and listen to their stories about the wars, not to many minutes go by that I don't think about them and what they sacrificed. THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.
Thank you for posting. As we enter this Independence Day, remember all who fought for this great Nation. Truly the greatest generation in my opinion. Thank you Veterans.
Dad, brother and last brother 12-16-22, finally found it and played at funeral. Not vets, but it still applies. They sang and played it often and sounded almost as good as Ricky. All gone home.
As we age this song becomes more and more a reality with each passing day. The man who wrote this song said he left it to others to record and sing. Now he has Gone Home as well. Precious old song with a precious promise of hope. I once listened to a testimony of an elderly lady. She said when it came time for her funeral she didn't expect many people to show up for it. Reason being, she had outlived all her family and most of her friends. That testimony broke my heart when I realized there are so many old folks who don't have any of their close friends and loved ones around anymore. No wonder so many of the older Christians are looking forward to that time of blessed reunion.
This is a very beautifully written song, it certainly provokes thoughts of the sacrifices these men have made over the years. My father was in the middle east and fought against Rommel among many other things. He was just a young man and came home very broken. He never got over the fact he had killed other young men. I heard him cry in the early hours of the morning many times. He end up turning to alcohol which not only destroyed him but his family as well. He died a tragic death at just 45, the war wasn`t won for him. As much as I admire and respect these men and women that have defended our freedom I do wonder who the winner is
Thank you for your reply. We do have a just and merciful God. I know my heavenly Father has his hand on this earth and all that dwell in it. I became a Christian after my father died and I now know there is a purpose in every thing. All part of Gods plan for us. God bless and keep you also. In the precious name of Jesus
True words Rick. I'm from South Africa - simply love Blue Grass. Ricky and band are great musicians and understand how to play this music. This song makes me long for my father in law - he would have loved this song. Fought in Italy in WW II.
@alphashed Thank You for posting this song.I have never heard it before.I love Ricky skaggs and he did a beautiful job on this song.I just lost my Mother and this song makes me sad.
As my good friends father is on life support last night.. i was sent this song by a brother in Jesus, totally unbeknownst to him... the work of the Lord just happened ..sending this message, such a hard day today 🙏😭😭😭
Thanks so much for making this video. My grandfather passed away in 2010 and he was in the 17th Airborne and the Battle of the Bulge. What a fitting tribute!
Thanks for honor the veterans. But my Dad was on the other side, but never the less, he came into American captivity.And God thanks he survived. Me as German, I will never forget the veterans, no matter wich side. be Blessed.
I saw a video on you tube about a German fighter pilot who came upon an American Bomber that was barely limping back to base, it was all shot up and barely moving: he caught up with it rapidly and came from behind and he moved even with the cockpit and could see the pilot and co-pilot clearly. The pilot of the Bomber looked out his window and saw the German pilot staring at him and his eyes became round with fear. The German pilot flew his plane around the bomber and saw it had no defense. He came even with the cockpit again and thought of his brother who was also a fighter pilot who had been shot down in combat and killed. He maintained eye contact with the pilot of the Bomber and said to himself, if I were to shoot those men it would be the same as murder, so with a nod to the American pilot he dipped his wings and flew off. He thought about the Bomber and wondered if the crew had made it back safely so he had memorized the numbers on the plane and contacted the War dept and found they had made it safely. He told his story and got their home addresses and made contact with the pilot and arranged a meeting. Their reunion was an event of great joy as the American pilot had always wondered about the German fighter pilot and the great mercy he had been shown.
@10AceOfSpades01 THANK YOU,YOUNG MAN,FOR BEING ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY.SO MANY PEOPLE NOW DONT REALIZE HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO BE ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL AND GREAT COUNTRY YOU AND I LIVE IN, THAT SO MANY HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED FOR.ITS GONNA TAKE MORE AND MORE YOUNG MEN LIKE YOU TO KEEP IT GOIN,THANKS AGAIN
Amen and roger. after you've stood in a few ramp ceremonies you get a new understanding of videos like this. Someday when I get to give the final salute to my father in law and others I am gonna have trouble keeping it together.
77 years ago this last Nov. 25, 1944, my father, Pvt. Carl A. Divine, was killed in the Battle of the Huertgen Forest in Germany. He left a young wife and two young children (I was 3 years old, and my brother was just over 15 months old). He is buried in Henri-Chapelle American Military Cemetery in Belgium, so in a true sense, he never came home. We must never forget the sacrifices made by all those who fought to secure the freedoms we enjoy today. The pairing of this song performed by Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, with the images help bring these sacrifices to memory
I noticed you said you "tried to..." You not only tried but you knocked it out of the park! Great job, I know we you tube viewers may not seem too appreciative but I am very grateful for people like you who take the time to share such meaningful work. Thank you.
Wonderful song but I can only hope that the newer generations remember these people and what they went through. They didn't go to the Dr to get help for post traumatic stress , they lived with it and most took their memories to the grave with them. To all veterans,,, May God Bless and thank you for your service!!!!!
Thanks for the thoughtful song and video . It goes well together and it is the words and the meaning that counts.Those men from WW11 belong to us and this great country and I will never forget what they did for me.To all of you who are still with us I thank you from the bottom of heart and I thank God I was born in America and that I am free!
Appreciate this very much. Traveled to Europe in May with my two sons to see where Gramps fought. He made it home but lost him several years back. Heroes all.
Thank you for the upload. I do not have pay TV at my home in Ohio, so I rely on these videos. I truly believe President Trump and VP Pence was sent to America to HELP restore out greatness and values once again. Hallelujah.
I am a bluegrass musician and I love this song, I think of my dad, brother and two nephews who have served in the military. I thank god for keeping his hands on them and keeping them safe and bringing them back home.
My dad just celebrated his 94th birthday. Thanks Ricky for recording this such a beautiful song.
Thank you for commenting.
No one can come close to Ricky Skaggs on this song many others for that matter great job
Thanks!
I believe this may be a Bill Monroe song!
I have just lost a brother who was a Marine Viet Nam vet. I had to post this song as a tribute to him and an uncle who was a WW2 vet. So touching, a timeless work, and a moving tribute to our veterans. When you get up tomorrow, thank God and a vet, your living in a great country.
Prayers for you and your family! Hallelujah, Amen 🙏 🙌 ❤️

Welcome home Soldier
Thank You for all your sacrifices ! I was an Infantryman during Vietnam but not stationed in country. I felt lucky. Take care brother !!

Neither am I, but we can try.
Ralph Stanley's FUNERAL
Some great day we will go home and see them again
Yes, my dad is there, as well as many other dads.
I just found this in 2022, great version 👍
Thanks!

I have a deep respect to these Soliders who gave their life for our Country.
I fear when the last of this generation has gone up. Their stories and experiences and knowledge will be forgotten and lost
God bless all our AMERICAN HEROES as they go home.
Amen,
I am a 100% Service Connected Disabled Vietnam Veteran And I Salute You For This song
Glory to THEM.........................
Thank you.
I can here my grandpa up in heaven singin this to me an 82 airborne and a retired chrysler employee after 48 years :)

No greater honor than to serve your country on the battlefield. Many no longer appreciate the sacrifice.
Dennis Galloway Thank you.
I heard Grandpa and Ramona Jones do this live at the Mosque auditorium in Richmond, Va. back in the '70's. Did a beautiful job!!!!
I may be twelve, but I understand about all of this. I'm as patriotic, if not more, than the other guy. God bless America.
God bless our military in the name of Jesus. Great tribute Beanscot!
My Dad wanted this played at his funeral, after seeing the video I understand now why this particular song.
From South Africa - I have listened to this song over and over - cannot help but become emotional. Thanks Ricky and K T- love all your songs I can get hold of on UA-cam.
Donkie 6 Thanks for commenting.
This truly is an amazing tribute to all who have served. It is so beautifully done. We owe so much to these brave men and women.
Yes we. do. Thank you!

Sarah Walker You’re welcome.

Thank you for serving.
a wonderfull piece, thanks.
You're welcome.
Things have changed here in America. The freedoms that we have enjoyed came at a very high price of blood sweat and tears.
Yes, we should remember and continue to honor those who have served and are serving.
Reason this country is as great as it is. Hope and pray everyday, this country continues to shine through thick and thin!!
Thank you for this video my Father served in Belgium during WWII he passed away in 1993 I miss him everyday.
May their sacrifices never be forgotten. Beautiful photography to go along with the song.
A great song for our departed veterans. Thanks folks!
Joshua Brooks You're welcome!
