Awhile back UA-cam chose to include my video in one of their mixes. I am humbled, and grateful. I consider this "an amazing compliment" to the heart and hard work that went in to 'Soldier's Light' and as an unknown artist. Although this "thank you" may never reach them, I still want to express my gratitude and what this has meant to me. Being included with the amazing songs, and artists, in this mix is again truly humbling. Thank you UA-cam and G+ :) Rylee.
No thank you if you hadn't done what you did we would never have seen you there and UA-cam would never have included you so it takes two to tango and you're one of the two Tango partners, I hope this makes sense to you I'm using voice to text my hands do not work, not well at least, you are truly amazing.
i am an ex service man of 20 years myself, seeing my son follow my footsteps hes currently on an active mission, its hard not having him around and we actually do keep our light on
I'm a British veteran but the story, heartbreak and sentiment is the same. Great Song young lady. Thank you for sharing it with us grizzly old vets, who lucky enough, came home.
I want to join the army iv just gone Into year eleven and went to qpd army barracks for my work experience and I hope I can do vets like u proud and lead the legacy of vets with the new generation
Rylee thank you so much for this song. Every time I hear it I think of my son. he died in an I.E.D. explosion in Afghanistan two weeks after I retired. I keep a light burning 24/7 for him.
+Rochelle X cry only tears of joy. I spent the weekend with three of his buddies and found out he saved thirty five people the day he died. he's more of a hero and man than I will ever be
"Soldiers Light" and I will remember the fallen this memorial day, and every day. Please comment a name or names of a soldier you will be thinking of most of all. Not Forgotten SPC Justin Rollins. I will +1 ever comment so you will know I am thinking of, and know the name of, your soldier. Not Forgotten!
I love what u do and standing up for our Hero,s keep doing what u are doing it always pin points when someone is in need :-):-):-) ps i am ur number fan and will be forwarding until ur on the top bill board of RCA
I showed my daughter this song before I left my fourth and final deployment. And told her that the light right by the front door inside will always stay on until I come home. I ended up surprising her. She came home from school and saw that the light was off and she turned it on. And I came around the corner and said hey you better leave that light off I’m home already. And she went into tears and jumped into my arms. Thank you for such a beautiful soul and giving my daughter. Hope that I always come home.
Can you imagine if every 15 yr old had this much respect for our military and all they do for us? This world would be in much better hands. Thank you. I have a son in the military and cannot wait to send this to him.
I'm 15 an since I was 7 I always respected our soldiers more then my self I don't have a single family member who was a soldier but right as I have nothing to lose I'll join the military
My misses is ex military kid and she told iscally what it like to be army kid she said it was hardst thing she ever had to live with her father was in prince walse regiment he served 15 years she spent morntry her live in army When you hear it from realy ex army kid voice how it is heart breaking and she has biggest respected for all our soulder and men and women and treaseure honour all the fallen What peopel dont realize is all men women soilder when go off on tour for 12 mouth at time or war the family left behind children wifes my misses told day her dad gone nearly year she heart broken wounrding when he come home Safe she bearly rember him but she rember her own dad all she rember of his smile is voice his pictures when her dad come thar how she knew it her dad it hardst thing for army kid go through as soilders but kids have it bad because it lonely they get scared anxiety will start up because of mum dad been at war. Stress off not coming home
Rylee, Although it looks like this has been out for a while, I just found it and wanted to say thank you, it touched me deeply and this Veterans day I will make sure it is part of my annual salute to my friends and those who served. But more importantly, those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you, ot was amazing.
Yes I agree these soldiers don't do what they do for fame they do it to protect our freedom and our liberty our troops don't get the respect the deserve I will stand behind our troops and the American flag
That piano nearly killed me in the beginning. So many of us gave up so much. Not all those we left behind supported us. The pain I speak of is on another level no soldier deserves... but many know it anyway. You leave that light on, we carry your torch with us. Thank you ma'am.
I service 34 yrs, and 6 deployment. To come home to see all those American NFL and others people treat our country the way they do. GOD BLESS YOU AND THE UNITED STATE OF AMERICA.
Today is the 1st time I've heard this song. Rylee you have moved me to tears, it blows me away a young lady your age has this kind of compassion for our troops and the brothers we lost. While bringing back some pretty painful memories it is comforting knowing we are not forgotten. Many of us live everyday with much pain long after the battle field has fallen silent. There are not words to express my feelings of appreciation for your compassion. Thank you very much.
I'm a daughter of a Vet, I hear him pace a lot and cry. I love him to death. my brothers are all deployed and I listen to this song a lot because it give me comfort. Thank you so very much for your service.
Hi Warren Chambers, my name is Kyndal. I am a big fan and a big supporter and prayer warrior of the troops!! Hey Warren, hope you won't mind if I tell you this, I would just like to tell you "Thank You" for your wonderful service to our country, your service to our country is very much appreciated.
Now that my tears have dried, I can type in a comment. To all the men, women and families who have protected our Country, and especially those that gave all...Thank You!
one of the hardest thing i have ever done in my life , was to kiss my wife and kids goodbye . the tears in the there eyes and the sounds of them crying as i walked away. god bless this young lady, thank you
I came across this song today and it brings me to tears. It reminds me of my Marines friend/brother Cpl Rodd who passed away July 30, 2020 during a training exercise when the amphibious vehicle sank with him and 6 other Marines and 1 Sailor still inside. My Marine son called to let me know he was okay, Incase I had heard about the accident. I could hear in his voice that something was wrong. He proceeded to tell me about the accident and that one of his good friends was one of the Marines who went down with the amphibious vehicle. My heart broke for all the families who got that dreaded knock on the door that every military family fears. But it broke my heart even more when my Marine told me Cpl Rodd had a newborn son that will never know his daddy. I wanted to bust out in tears but I knew I had to be strong for my son who was hurting. As a mom you want to take that pain away but you learn being a military mom especially a Marine mom that all you can do is listen and be there for them day or night. There’s not a day that goes by that my Marine doesn’t think about his friend, his friends newborn son and the brothers he lost that day. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice Rest In Peace Marines and Sailor 🇺🇸 Cpl. Wesley A. Rodd, 23, of Harris, Texas, who left behind a wife and a newborn son. Pfc. Bryan J. Baltierra, 19, of Corona, California; Lance Cpl. Marco A. Barranco, 21, of Montebello, California; Pfc. Evan A. Bath, 19, of Oak Creek, Wisconsin; Pfc. Jack Ryan Ostrovsky, 21, of Bend, Oregon; Lance Cpl. Chase D. Sweetwood, 19, of Portland, Oregon; Cpl. Cesar A. Villanueva, 21, of Riverside, California. Lance Cpl. Guillermo S. Perez, 19, of New Braunfels, Texas was pronounced dead at the scene. U.S. Navy Hospitalman Christopher Gnem, 22, of Stockton, California; Eight other Marines were rescued. All of the Marines aboard were attached to the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit of the 1 Marine Expeditionary Force, based at nearby Camp Pendleton
Heidi I'm so sorry. I can't imagine the pain your feeling right know. There's someone who does and his name is Jesus Christ. May he fill your heart and spirit with peace and comfort. He loves you so much heidi
Semper fi marine and I have helped lay military service members to rest im hs army jrotc cadet Anthony Bradford private first class with the third battalion I have flown to military bases it was a project my hs jrotc class was doing they allowed us to enter and we spoke with some service members

I lost my Hero and Nephew in 2015 in Al Rhamadi Iraq... He paid the Ultimate Sacrifice to save his crew... ASP. RANDY STEVENS, I LOVE YOU ! STILL MY HERO!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID... YOU'RE NEVER FORGOTTEN!, I'VE GOT MY "LIGHTS ON FOR YOU"
to all vets and active duty from me my wife and our baby boy, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, OUR FAMILY WILL NEVER FORGET YOU OR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AND ARE DOING FOR US. WE OUR YOU A DEBT WE CAN NEVER REPAY, BUT WILL NEVER STOP TRYING TO

There aren't too many things in this world that can move me to tears. The birth of my daughter definite tear jerker moment. Burying soldiers I served with. I can watch soldier family reunions all day long and be reduced to just an emotional pile skin. From the bottom of this old Army dogs heart and soul Rylee, absolutely beautiful song. I would give it all up right now to have just one of my brothers back. Keep that daughters love and patriotism burning brightly. I'm honored to have been able to hear this.
Anthony Gore Truly beautiful words. Its nice to see a man can talk about real emotions. Thank you for your past service. Sorry you lost some of your fellow soldiers
Laura Armand A song like this brings the emotions and memories rushing to the front of your brain like a bullet train no matter how hard you try block it. For a long period of time I refused to talk about things because if I didn't talk about it then I could pretend things didn't happen, if that makes any sense to you. It wasn't until a buddy of mine killed himself and I was tooling around UA-cam for a song to dedicate at his memorial and I stumbled across this song. I just couldn't stop the tears.
Oh my heck! I have passed this video over several times??? I have 2 boys serving now. 5th generation to serve. Both are married and out of the house and I still leave the porch light on when they are deployed. What a touching beautiful song!

Danish Khan Hamas Al Kaida Hizbollah Phatach n all the rest of the shites there plus that Muhammed who tells all to Slaughter Jews n Infidels- These are the problem!!! Plus Obama who sucks up to Qatar who support Hamas together with that joke- King of Jordan.
I was a Soldier and I have PTSD and for the first time in a long time I CRIED, you made me feel your pain I know your daddy loves you forever X please give your mum a hug from a lost sole
Why would people dislike this? Even if you're not a fan of the tune, at least someone cares enough to write a song honoring our soldiers. That's a quality that's really lacking these days.
Probably non Americans who see tributes just for American soldiers Rude and disrespectful, every country has men dying in war for their country, not just americans
I lost my son 6 years ago, 1/7/2013. He was active duty Navy and he died in an accident 2 days before his 2nd deployment. He was a good man and son. I miss him so much. He was the kind of guy that would help people be it a friend, family, or stranger. He was the tip of the sword and loved his country.
God bless ur soul.. may he reside in heaven. Always know he's in a good place. The earthly affairs and time no longer affect him. stay strong like him🌺🌻🌼🌼🌷
@@bwmann1 Well that's because I've lost my young sister and also my bf and they have been battle cancer and no I have no one to talk to about it and I have been waiting for my bf to come home to his beautiful wonderful kind of I would've be really happy to see him again but no not now that's not funny at all and also I love him so much that I want to keep him In my heart tho...................
@@kkann9327 I am sorry about your sister and your bf. No there aren't many people to talk to about death. Unless someone goes through it they don't understand it. Did your bf die too? Fortunately not many people lose a child. Think about this, my wife said this to me for a speech I did at a gold star event last spring. She said "when you lose a family member life will never be the same, life will be different. Without our loved one we will have to learn to live life in a different way. We will walk forward in life despite carrying the heartache of losing our loved on". Loosing our son was the last thing I ever expected children aren't supposed to die before their parents. Have a good day.
Next to being a husband and father, being a Soldier was the greatest honor of my life. I did it for my son. For my wife. For my brothers-in-arms. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I think about all of you that paid that ultimate sacrifice everyday. Thank you!
I am glad I was able to see my daughter grow up to the beautiful lady she is today, but! The battle still rages within me, each day is a battle for life..............She is my reason that I still fight this battle.
I want to say to every soldiers that put their lives on the line for us and I thank God every day for watching over my brother when he served over seas he did five tours and I thank God that he came home safe because he’s my hero. Every sister needs her brother and my brother means everything in this world to me. He is my hero and there is a lot more heroes out there too. God bless you all.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm a Solider a Veteran who was injured in Combat ,I want to thank you Angel for doing this for all those who didn't come home .... I can't shed enough tears for my brother and sisters who Gave all to and for those in this Country weather they ever realize it , that to those who didn't like your Beautiful Video ! From my Heart Thank You !! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I just want to say thank you for your service God bless you and are your brothers and sisters that have served alongside of you before and after you God bless you all God Bless America
You know when I listen to these songs and watch these videos it's me deep cuz my father was a Vietnam vet that's why I leave the comments that I leave cuz my father got spat on he never got thanked and I don't think any veteran should ever go through that these men and women put their life on the line for us so we can sit here and be free I wish I did serve I never had the opportunity if it wasn't for these men and women I wouldn't have the freedoms that I have and that's why I consider all servicemen and women that have put their backsides on the line for us as family and every time I watch these videos any of them it hits me right in the heart my father put his butt on the line my cousin put his butt on the line my uncle put his butt on the line my other cousin she put her butt on the line and I respect them for their decision you know a lot of our servicemen and women do not consider themselves as Heroes because they're just doing a job as they say but you know something in my eyes always be my heroes and that's why every time I walk by somebody Toots and uniform or I can tell is a vet I shake their hand and I say thank you it's the least I can do the owner sacrifice that has been made and I know there's no way any of us can actually understand totally about their sacrifice God bless you all
It's not very often that you see younger kids take a moment to reach out and actually show that they care about stuff like this other than just tv, or themselves
Tears literally rolling down my face...absolutely beautiful...Praying for our Military & their families...and for the fallen and their families...Thank You all for the sacrifices you make and for Your service...May the Lord be with you all and keep you in His care always...In the name of Jesus...Amen
I'm 9 years late here but this is beautiful. A 15 year old having this much respect for the military. So well done.Absoutely beautiful. This had me in tears. God Bless 🇺🇸
I am a disabled veteran and I am not ashamed to admit that tears were flowing listening to this. Bless all of my brothers and sisters in arms.May God look out for you and bring you safely home. For those Gold Star families, your sacrifice is beyond expressing in words. I hope you find some solace in the knowledge that you and your fallen ones are loved and respected by those that are left.
I am a veteran who served between 2014 -2018 and I found this creed called the veterans creed....... The Veterans Creed I am a veteran I have seen and done things that many will not understand I am a warrior A member of a team spanning the world. I have served my country and now stand by to serve my brothers and sisters in arms I will never accept defeat. I will never quit I am a veteran.
My daughter heard this song. Made me listen to it. It took me to tears, now every time I leave for the military she leaves that light on at our front door. Hoping I come home. And today I put new light bulbs in since I will be leaving for number 4. And I could stop crying. Love the song
100,000 views - 3 months. I am not excited for me, I am excited that this tribute has touched so many lives and has sent a successful message too so many Veterans, Troops, and their families: "Thank you!" 'Soldier's Light' is meant to "Remember all who have fallen, Honor all who have served" Dedicated to all our troops, all branches, all in the name of freedom. Not forgotten SPC Justin Rollins.
Thanks for the add, Rylee Preston! I added you back. You have a great voice and as a Veteran who served in Iraq, I found this very touching. God Bless You!
currently deployed for the US ARMY and will be stateside soon. This song is awesome and makes me want the time to go by faster so I can see the family. Thanks to anyone who has served or is serving.
Been a member of the GRU since 1986, currently doing a few more missions and will be resigning soon. I am getting old and just can't do it anymore, but there is always the next generation that will sadly have to take your place. Good luck to all of you joining the Military and especially to those who already have.
Just found this, but I understand from serving that the only thing stronger than a soldier is the Family that supports them and those who will forever be waiting for them to come Home.
Thank you, Rylee. You're work is timeless. God bless you and your efforts. Your voice truly helps today. An 'ol grumpy Marine veteran in tears over the loss of my Brothers senselessly and cowardly struck at Kabul airport. Patriotic music is one of the few peaceful refuges we have. Unashamedly crying streams of tears.
I haven’t been brought to tears in a long time. I currently on my fourth deployment. From 2006-2009 in the Marines now Army currently. But this is the first with a family and I miss them dearly. Your song has made me remember why I do what I do now. Which is for them and many other families I don’t even know. Semper Fi
Son, I'm a much older combat veteran...Be safe, young man. Keep your brothers close. Never forget your family back home. Do all you can to stay in touch. Don't be afraid, or ashamed to reach out to someone if you start having odd thoughts or feelings. It's not weakness, it's combat scars. Semper Fi, little brother.
@@stevenbentley310 I promise I will do the best I can. And if I ever need to reach out you may get a message from me. But I’m holding strong so far. And I do the best I can to talk to my wife and daughter as much as I can. If you ever need something big brother let me know. Semper Fi
I lost my dad when I was 4 years old because of the war I will see you again one day, dad I want you to know you will always be my hero. I love you dad. We will always leave the porch light on for you.
Your daddy died for our freedom and for this nation, god bless you and your father, you will see you father again when the haven gates open, he will be standing there waiting for you as well.
This song brings tears to my eyes. I am a soldier’s wife. Memory song for our fallen soldiers, marines, airmen and sailors. Thank you for thinking about our military. 🇺🇸
@@JW-bj2bu it is never your fault. Some woman cannot handle their men in the military . I have /had family in all 5 branches so I know what I was getting myself into already. Stay strong!
As an Infantry NCO with 3 deployments I'm reluctant to admit this, but this damn amazing tribute brings me a little tear every time. I'm thankful for the reminder that my brothers & sisters can have life & love waiting for them back in the world!
Hey winter its okay to admit that. You don't have to be tough every single day. Its okay to show tenderness and emotion. After all you are human. Thank you personally for all you do to keep me safe and free. Your my hero always
I spent 8 years in the 82 airborne the world has gotten to be a ugly place 8 years not worrying about what color a man was we were brothers no matter what
My husband is veteran his mom is evilness of destroying our family happy loving home my health risk my heart and our daughter her health have anemia and my husband health from work lose more of brother's in fighting in war front his face lose his nephew than evil mother destroying him more putting me twice in jail his mother is killing me and her dad her real suffering our health problems
I am 20 years old #2020 and honestly this is the most sweetest and most saddest song I've probably heard.... she has such a be voice that as soon as she starts singing you dont want her to stop.... she does good on this song..
Frank Brown I’m also listening in 2020 and she has the most beautiful voice ever, I was reading the description when the video started and I couldn’t finish reading it because her voice was so lovely that I had to stop and listen to it. I also love how in the beginning of the video she came a stood beside the kneeling soldier and put her hand on his soldier, I found that very touching.
I remember playing this song a couple yrs ago I said that when I turn 18 I am enlisting in the army well this Monday I'm going to my dream will be coming true thanks to all that served our country
It was a beautiful song!!! It reminds me of when my son went to Irac after he joined the Marines. I spent many nights & days worrying about him. Thank God he came safely home to me that was after a few scary moments overseas.
I've had the thousand mile stare look back at me in the mirror, I will spend the rest of my life working to never let my loved ones meet the guy I sometimes still see in that mirror, and making there lives the ones I fought to preserve! I will never be the kid I was, but I refuse to be less than the Man they deserve, My Country required my service, my Family deserves my future! Thanks be to God for the opportunity!
Its a thousand yard stare but can feel like miles and God Bless anyone who has served for their country. Please speak to someone about the guy in the mirror you do not want your family to meet. It's OK to need help and support. Take care.
I served in desert Storm and three deployments after 9/11. The tributes need to go to the families that waited and wondered while we were gone, our spouses that kept things going at home, and the children that only got a phone call once in a while, that were six months when we left and a year and a half when we got back, wondering who we were.
Kritteran Vorhallen from a country far away I want to say thank you, not just for fighting for the greatest country but for fighting for peace. Thank you
I’m 18 years old and I’m about to go to MEPs and get sworn in for Active Duty. My mom begs me not to do it but I’m gonna go serve my country for kids and family and for America. People who dislikes stuff needs to look back at the Soldiers that fought in Iraq and the people who died for us to have freedom. If I’m gonna die I’m gonna die serving my country right alongside my brothers and sisters
I am balling like a baby listening to this. As a Desert Storm Veteran, I proudly served. My Dad fought in Vietnam, and my Grandpa in WWII. I have 2 children who are proudly serving as Officers in the Air Force...I also have a cousin who retired after 23 years in the Special Forces. I salute all of you that are serving right now and to all the Veterans out there, my prayers are with you...to the ones that have fallen in the tour of duty, I pray to God that they are doing well in Heaven...Thank you
As a soldier that recently returned from Afghanistan, I watched countless good and bad people get blow up. One of them could have been me. But I made it home. Always keep the light on!
Well young lady you have made a decorated veteran from across the pond weep. You are a real ray of sunshine and I thank you for your lovely tribute. We will remember them. 😢
I am a Army Veteran that this amazing song touched a super special place. I was deployed right after my daughter was born and I missed almost all her 1sts. Steps,words everything and to this day my daughter holds it against me. Still does not understand. Great song !!
My dad served in the British Army vs IRA, my grandfather and other families have fought other wars like WW2 and WW1. I might not be in the army myself but I’m proud to be their daughter, granddaughter etc. They served our country proud. Too bad the country isn’t doing good now. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I'm a retired military man after 22 years of service. Being out there is hard, but I had a strong wife back home that kept the kids safe and left the light on for me. When we come back, we bring "baggage" and having someone at home that doesn't ask questions, doesn't care what happened, and is only happy you have come home is the best healing magic you can hope for. That song spoke volumes about the brave men and women not on the battle lines, but still battling back at home for us to have a place to come back to. Well done!
My only son who happens to be my bestfriend is in the Army. I miss seeing his face and talking to him everyday. I havent been the same since he left...i think about him constantly. What I wouldn't give to be able to rewind the hands of time and just be holding him on my lap with his blankey and bunny blue. I love u Joey! - mama
This bring me to tears, my Dad was a transporter, one day while we await his return home we've that he had an accident that claim his life, I was 14years then, the news sounded like a joke, that even after a very long time I still wish that one day he would just walk in through the day, I long to hear his voice console me and cheers me on, I long for his pat on my shoulders and tell me how well I have done while he was away,,, my momma did all she could to keep us together,,,, I love my mom and I still miss my Dad, it's been 22years.
GOD BLESS you and your family, your story brought me to tears and that's not easy to do to a 69 year old Vet who has seen a lot during my time in the Army and have lost some good friends. Always remember your dad is looking down and helping you to walk on GODS path to Heaven to be with him again !!
Sweety I'm the daughter of a deceased honor guard he said never gone change of duty to help other vets get home safe he knew he raised me strong enough to keep him in my heart and soul and hold onto the love he had for us our moms are our heros too after 50 plus years of losing my dad she raised us alone I still send her a mother and father's day card she was both and has never dated after losing the man she said no other man could live up too we have been shown what true love really is
From a military family this song hits home. This Morning I had a conversation with my fiancé. I enlisted into the army this morning. I’m doing it all for my family and my country. 🥰🤞🏻
Such a beautiful and touching tribute.. As the daughter of a veteran, an Air Force veteran, retiree, and the mother of a soldier, this song warms my heart every time I hear it. I make sure I share it every Memorial Day, because it's important to remember the families left behind!
What a beautiful song ! I’m a military spouse myself and as much I appreciate all the sacrifices my husband has to make..it makes me really sad at the same time..he never met our baby girl yet..but I’m proud of him..for all he does and keeping us safe ❤️
Reading these comments and listening to the song gave me hope because I was in the Marine special Forces or M.A.R.S.O.C. and I lost my brother when he had turned 19 so thank you to all who support vets like me and most importantly thank you Riley
Awhile back UA-cam chose to include my video in one of their mixes. I am humbled, and grateful. I consider this "an amazing compliment" to the heart and hard work that went in to 'Soldier's Light' and as an unknown artist. Although this "thank you" may never reach them, I still want to express my gratitude and what this has meant to me.

Rylee Preston if you don't mind me asking was Justin Rollins related to you
brittany parrish our friends son. A hero!
beautiful song I added to my play list...god bless
Rylee Preston
No thank you if you hadn't done what you did we would never have seen you there and UA-cam would never have included you so it takes two to tango and you're one of the two Tango partners, I hope this makes sense to you I'm using voice to text my hands do not work, not well at least, you are truly amazing.
Soldiers don't Die, they regroup in heaven for their loved ones!
amen
Respect!
except marines. they regroup in hell as the frontline of heaven :)
Raik Barczynski That is true
The RedneXican lol
Bravo, young lady. You've got this old Veteran in tears. Wonderful song and a beautiful voice.
thank you for serving our country
Thank you for supporting Veterans. ❤️
Thank you for your service.
Jerek S Thank you for your support. This means a lot to me.
Me too and I have only cried twice since I came home from Vietnam
They say Marines don't cry. But coming from a Marine who misses his wife and daughter your song bought a tear to my eye.
From a soldier to a Marine thank you safe guarding the U.S.
❤️🫂🥲🍻 We'll Cry Together
Marines feel like crying sometimes, I know I do.
Just cuz you're a marine doesn't mean you don't have any feelings, and sometimes play come out whether you want them to or not.
Thank you for keeping us safe! We appreciate all of our military members!
i am an ex service man of 20 years myself, seeing my son follow my footsteps hes currently on an active mission, its hard not having him around and we actually do keep our light on
My dad's in war right now for a year fighting I'm hoping he'll come back to me

I showed my daughter this song before I left my fourth and final deployment. And told her that the light right by the front door inside will always stay on until I come home. I ended up surprising her. She came home from school and saw that the light was off and she turned it on. And I came around the corner and said hey you better leave that light off I’m home already. And she went into tears and jumped into my arms. Thank you for such a beautiful soul and giving my daughter. Hope that I always come home.
As a grown man this story made me tear up… glad you made it home.
Can you imagine if every 15 yr old had this much respect for our military and all they do for us? This world would be in much better hands. Thank you. I have a son in the military and cannot wait to send this to him.
The only ones who do have family who are military. They know the pain of the wait.
I'm 15 an since I was 7 I always respected our soldiers more then my self I don't have a single family member who was a soldier but right as I have nothing to lose I'll join the military
My misses is ex military kid and she told iscally what it like to be army kid she said it was hardst thing she ever had to live with her father was in prince walse regiment he served 15 years she spent morntry her live in army
When you hear it from realy ex army kid voice how it is heart breaking and she has biggest respected for all our soulder and men and women and treaseure honour all the fallen
What peopel dont realize is all men women soilder when go off on tour for 12 mouth at time or war the family left behind children wifes my misses told day her dad gone nearly year she heart broken wounrding when he come home
Safe she bearly rember him but she rember her own dad all she rember of his smile is voice his pictures when her dad come thar how she knew it her dad it hardst thing for army kid go through as soilders but kids have it bad because it lonely they get scared anxiety will start up because of mum dad been at war. Stress off not coming home
Anthony Leadley it’s a saddening truth 😔
I sure do
Rylee, Although it looks like this has been out for a while, I just found it and wanted to say thank you, it touched me deeply and this Veterans day I will make sure it is part of my annual salute to my friends and those who served. But more importantly, those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you, ot was amazing.
Thank you for your service Bob and thank you for your kind words.
Damn right brutha
🇺🇸
This is beautiful Rylee...
Sarge wow
“Every soldier served not for fame
He served for his country
But most importantly his friends and loved ones”
Yes I agree these soldiers don't do what they do for fame they do it to protect our freedom and our liberty our troops don't get the respect the deserve I will stand behind our troops and the American flag
We not only fight for friends and family we fight for everyone to keep everyone safe
That piano nearly killed me in the beginning. So many of us gave up so much. Not all those we left behind supported us. The pain I speak of is on another level no soldier deserves... but many know it anyway.
You leave that light on, we carry your torch with us. Thank you ma'am.
God bless each and everyone of them
Thank you for all your sacrifices! We support all of you, thank you so much!
I service 34 yrs, and 6 deployment. To come home to see all those American NFL and others people treat our country the way they do.
GOD BLESS YOU AND THE UNITED STATE OF AMERICA.
Today is the 1st time I've heard this song. Rylee you have moved me to tears, it blows me away a young lady your age has this kind of compassion for our troops and the brothers we lost. While bringing back some pretty painful memories it is comforting knowing we are not forgotten. Many of us live everyday with much pain long after the battle field has fallen silent. There are not words to express my feelings of appreciation for your compassion. Thank you very much.
+Warren Chambers Thank you for your service and sacrifices and thank you for such kind words :)
I'm a daughter of a Vet, I hear him pace a lot and cry. I love him to death. my brothers are all deployed and I listen to this song a lot because it give me comfort. Thank you so very much for your service.
Hi Warren Chambers, my name is Kyndal. I am a big fan and a big supporter and prayer warrior of the troops!! Hey Warren, hope you won't mind if I tell you this, I would just like to tell you "Thank You" for your wonderful service to our country, your service to our country is very much appreciated.
Grace Cooper hope they come home safe
Now that my tears have dried, I can type in a comment. To all the men, women and families who have protected our Country, and especially those that gave all...Thank You!
I served for 24 years...thankyou young lady for bringing the tears that were long overdue...
Thank you for all the vets that served we are always behind you thank you
one of the hardest thing i have ever done in my life , was to kiss my wife and kids goodbye . the tears in the there eyes and the sounds of them crying as i walked away. god bless this young lady, thank you
I came across this song today and it brings me to tears. It reminds me of my Marines friend/brother Cpl Rodd who passed away July 30, 2020 during a training exercise when the amphibious vehicle sank with him and 6 other Marines and 1 Sailor still inside. My Marine son called to let me know he was okay, Incase I had heard about the accident. I could hear in his voice that something was wrong. He proceeded to tell me about the accident and that one of his good friends was one of the Marines who went down with the amphibious vehicle. My heart broke for all the families who got that dreaded knock on the door that every military family fears. But it broke my heart even more when my Marine told me Cpl Rodd had a newborn son that will never know his daddy. I wanted to bust out in tears but I knew I had to be strong for my son who was hurting. As a mom you want to take that pain away but you learn being a military mom especially a Marine mom that all you can do is listen and be there for them day or night. There’s not a day that goes by that my Marine doesn’t think about his friend, his friends newborn son and the brothers he lost that day.
Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice Rest In Peace Marines and Sailor 🇺🇸

My dad is going to get deyployed.i did the song for my school project and cried durring it. We have a GREEN LIGHT to remember the soliders
There aren't too many things in this world that can move me to tears. The birth of my daughter definite tear jerker moment. Burying soldiers I served with. I can watch soldier family reunions all day long and be reduced to just an emotional pile skin. From the bottom of this old Army dogs heart and soul Rylee, absolutely beautiful song. I would give it all up right now to have just one of my brothers back. Keep that daughters love and patriotism burning brightly. I'm honored to have been able to hear this.
Thank you for your service, RESPECT! and thank you for the kind words. :)
Anthony Gore Truly beautiful words. Its nice to see a man can talk about real emotions. Thank you for your past service. Sorry you lost some of your fellow soldiers
Laura Armand A song like this brings the emotions and memories rushing to the front of your brain like a bullet train no matter how hard you try block it. For a long period of time I refused to talk about things because if I didn't talk about it then I could pretend things didn't happen, if that makes any sense to you. It wasn't until a buddy of mine killed himself and I was tooling around UA-cam for a song to dedicate at his memorial and I stumbled across this song. I just couldn't stop the tears.
To all the thumbs down piss on you!! Thank you young lady from an old veteran!!!
Oh my heck! I have passed this video over several times???
I have 2 boys serving now. 5th generation to serve. Both are married and out of the house and I still leave the porch light on when they are deployed.
What a touching beautiful song!
'SOLDIERS IN HEAVEN' We are Casting for my New Music Video
Tribute 'Soldiers in Heaven' If you are, or know someone who is active duty, served, retired veterans, all branches men and
woman. Featured roles and back ground rolls, we are looking for a lot of volunteers to be in the video.
This new tribute is 2x the budget we had for Soldiers Light and I want it to be a really great project to be apart of. Must be in the Los Angele area and available August 15,16,17. We will have a military consultant so we are looking for authentic volunteers.
We need them to come dressed for the role, dressed to represent.
We will also be portraying other wars, so volunteers that could come dressed Civil War, WWI, etc, please get in touch and let the producer know what you can offer. We will have some wardrobe for volunteers without uniforms.
This is next weekend so please share this post and help us find a great Military cast :) I told the Producer "I got this" so lets blow up his email with a serious and authentic cast of volunteers.
Our Goal is to get as close as possible to an all military cast and crew. We will be donating portions of the proceeds to selected charities.
If selected more information will be provided.
email the producer @ soldiersinheaven@gmail.com Rylee :)
Awesome! Wish I was in LA...would luv to participate!
Beautiful song
USA army BOMBARDIER KILL AVERTINGNG
Danish Khan Hamas Al Kaida Hizbollah Phatach n all the rest of the shites there plus that Muhammed who tells all to Slaughter Jews n Infidels- These are the problem!!! Plus Obama who sucks up to Qatar who support Hamas together with that joke- King of Jordan.
Israel has the 4th strongest army in the world. By far the strongest in the region. If we wanted to destroy Gazzah we'd do it in 15 minutes!!
I was a Soldier and I have PTSD and for the first time in a long time I CRIED, you made me feel your pain I know your daddy loves you forever X please give your mum a hug from a lost sole
Why would people dislike this? Even if you're not a fan of the tune, at least someone cares enough to write a song honoring our soldiers. That's a quality that's really lacking these days.
There just low life kids in there moms basement there under a rock they don't understand what they do for our country
Probably non Americans who see tributes just for American soldiers Rude and disrespectful, every country has men dying in war for their country, not just americans
It does not matter how or where you here this song it will break an old veterans heart and make the most battle hardened shed tears.
I lost my son 6 years ago, 1/7/2013. He was active duty Navy and he died in an accident 2 days before his 2nd deployment. He was a good man and son. I miss him so much. He was the kind of guy that would help people be it a friend, family, or stranger. He was the tip of the sword and loved his country.
God bless ur soul.. may he reside in heaven. Always know he's in a good place. The earthly affairs and time no longer affect him. stay strong like him🌺🌻🌼🌼🌷
Same here
@@kkann9327 I am sorry but I have ask. What do you mean you did too.
@@bwmann1
Well that's because I've lost my young sister and also my bf and they have been battle cancer and no I have no one to talk to about it and I have been waiting for my bf to come home to his beautiful wonderful kind of I would've be really happy to see him again but no not now that's not funny at all and also I love him so much that I want to keep him In my heart tho...................
@@kkann9327 I am sorry about your sister and your bf. No there aren't many people to talk to about death. Unless someone goes through it they don't understand it. Did your bf die too? Fortunately not many people lose a child. Think about this, my wife said this to me for a speech I did at a gold star event last spring. She said "when you lose a family member life will never be the same, life will be different. Without our loved one we will have to learn to live life in a different way. We will walk forward in life despite carrying the heartache of losing our loved on". Loosing our son was the last thing I ever expected children aren't supposed to die before their parents. Have a good day.
Next to being a husband and father, being a Soldier was the greatest honor of my life. I did it for my son. For my wife. For my brothers-in-arms. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I think about all of you that paid that ultimate sacrifice everyday. Thank you!
Thank you for your service to our country
Adam Rasmussen thank u for ur service
I am glad I was able to see my daughter grow up to the beautiful lady she is today, but! The battle still rages within me, each day is a battle for life..............She is my reason that I still fight this battle.

Thank you for your service🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You know when I listen to these songs and watch these videos it's me deep cuz my father was a Vietnam vet that's why I leave the comments that I leave cuz my father got spat on he never got thanked and I don't think any veteran should ever go through that these men and women put their life on the line for us so we can sit here and be free I wish I did serve I never had the opportunity if it wasn't for these men and women I wouldn't have the freedoms that I have and that's why I consider all servicemen and women that have put their backsides on the line for us as family and every time I watch these videos any of them it hits me right in the heart my father put his butt on the line my cousin put his butt on the line my uncle put his butt on the line my other cousin she put her butt on the line and I respect them for their decision you know a lot of our servicemen and women do not consider themselves as Heroes because they're just doing a job as they say but you know something in my eyes always be my heroes and that's why every time I walk by somebody Toots and uniform or I can tell is a vet I shake their hand and I say thank you it's the least I can do the owner sacrifice that has been made and I know there's no way any of us can actually understand totally about their sacrifice God bless you all
Wickwire 9 thank u for ur service
It's not very often that you see younger kids take a moment to reach out and actually show that they care about stuff like this other than just tv, or themselves
Agreed,but Young Children are more Savey on the Internet.
Tears literally rolling down my face...absolutely beautiful...Praying for our Military & their families...and for the fallen and their families...Thank You all for the sacrifices you make and for Your service...May the Lord be with you all and keep you in His care always...In the name of Jesus...Amen
I'm 9 years late here but this is beautiful. A 15 year old having this much respect for the military. So well done.Absoutely beautiful. This had me in tears. God Bless 🇺🇸
7 years later this song still brings a tear...
I am a disabled veteran and I am not ashamed to admit that tears were flowing listening to this. Bless all of my brothers and sisters in arms.May God look out for you and bring you safely home. For those Gold Star families, your sacrifice is beyond expressing in words. I hope you find some solace in the knowledge that you and your fallen ones are loved and respected by those that are left.
i lost my dad 1 day ago he got killed by a ied thank you for your service
God bless you, Ashton Davis.
Thank you for your service William.
I am a veteran who served between 2014 -2018 and I found this creed called the veterans creed.......
The Veterans Creed
I am a veteran
I have seen and done things that many will not understand
I am a warrior
A member of a team spanning the world.
I have served my country and now stand by to serve my brothers and sisters in arms
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit
I am a veteran.
My daughter heard this song. Made me listen to it. It took me to tears, now every time I leave for the military she leaves that light on at our front door. Hoping I come home. And today I put new light bulbs in since I will be leaving for number 4. And I could stop crying. Love the song
100,000 views - 3 months. I am not excited for me, I am excited that this tribute has touched so many lives and has sent a successful message too so many Veterans, Troops, and their families: "Thank you!"
'Soldier's Light' is meant to "Remember all who have
fallen, Honor all who have served" Dedicated to all our troops, all branches, all in the name of freedom.
Not forgotten SPC Justin Rollins.
Great tribute!
This song is so amazingly inspirational. I love it! Congratulations Rylee! You deserve it.
Brandon Wilhite what is your site?
Thanks for the add, Rylee Preston! I added you back. You have a great voice and as a Veteran who served in Iraq, I found this very touching. God Bless You!
Bill Thick, Jr. thank you for your service.
1200+ haters who don't see this as a tribute to those who have and are serving. No worries, this vet thanks you.
I'm a lover anybody who dislikes this song is either foreign or a liberal piece of shit

thank you for your service
Thank you for your service, and sacrifice....
Been a member of the GRU since 1986, currently doing a few more missions and will be resigning soon. I am getting old and just can't do it anymore, but there is always the next generation that will sadly have to take your place. Good luck to all of you joining the Military and especially to those who already have.
Thomas Metcalfe crazy
Another hard hearted veteran cried over your words, young lady. Thank you.
A beautiful song from the heart to all soldier's who are serving the United States of America
Just found this, but I understand from serving that the only thing stronger than a soldier is the Family that supports them and those who will forever be waiting for them to come Home.
The ones that no one thinks of, it warms my heart knowing that my family are waiting for me, I also understand how hard it is for them too 😢
Thank you, Rylee. You're work is timeless. God bless you and your efforts. Your voice truly helps today. An 'ol grumpy Marine veteran in tears over the loss of my Brothers senselessly and cowardly struck at Kabul airport. Patriotic music is one of the few peaceful refuges we have. Unashamedly crying streams of tears.
This young lady knows exactly what it means to miss a parent in that way. Truth incredible young lady. Beautiful song. Amen
I haven’t been brought to tears in a long time. I currently on my fourth deployment. From 2006-2009 in the Marines now Army currently. But this is the first with a family and I miss them dearly. Your song has made me remember why I do what I do now. Which is for them and many other families I don’t even know. Semper Fi
Son, I'm a much older combat veteran...Be safe, young man. Keep your brothers close. Never forget your family back home. Do all you can to stay in touch. Don't be afraid, or ashamed to reach out to someone if you start having odd thoughts or feelings. It's not weakness, it's combat scars. Semper Fi, little brother.
@@stevenbentley310 I promise I will do the best I can. And if I ever need to reach out you may get a message from me. But I’m holding strong so far. And I do the best I can to talk to my wife and daughter as much as I can. If you ever need something big brother let me know. Semper Fi
Good luck to you. Come back home.
Thank you to all the men and women that served or are still serving
Every like equals hope for the men and women come home
I lost my dad when I was 4 years old because of the war I will see you again one day, dad I want you to know you will always be my hero. I love you dad. We will always leave the porch light on for you.
I Pray Gods blessings on you and your family! Thank you really falls short but know that your sacrifice will NEVER be forgotten by this soldier!
Your daddy died for our freedom and for this nation, god bless you and your father, you will see you father again when the haven gates open, he will be standing there waiting for you as well.
Thank you for support on May 14,2008 is day I will not forget because that is day I lost my hero and the man I called daddy.
He is a hero and will always remain. I pray for you and your family.
This song brings tears to my eyes. I am a soldier’s wife. Memory song for our fallen soldiers, marines, airmen and sailors. Thank you for thinking about our military. 🇺🇸
my brother slept with my wife just found out ,now my military hurts maybe my fault if i wasnt deployed
@@JW-bj2bu it is never your fault. Some woman cannot handle their men in the military . I have /had family in all 5 branches so I know what I was getting myself into already. Stay strong!
Tears from beginning to end. For those who are gone, you are not forgotten. To all that served, thank you.
As an Infantry NCO with 3 deployments I'm reluctant to admit this, but this damn amazing tribute brings me a little tear every time. I'm thankful for the reminder that my brothers & sisters can have life & love waiting for them back in the world!
Hey winter its okay to admit that. You don't have to be tough every single day. Its okay to show tenderness and emotion. After all you are human. Thank you personally for all you do to keep me safe and free. Your my hero always
Welcome home.
I spent 8 years in the 82 airborne the world has gotten to be a ugly place 8 years not worrying about what color a man was we were brothers no matter what
@@groverjackson8017 Thanks Airborne! I was with 1-505th, 82nd abn from 2006-2010. Best years of my 6 total service time!
Thank you that was beautiful brought tears to my eyes as a mother of 3 soldiers and wife of a soldier and a veteran myself it’s a hard job
My husband is veteran his mom is evilness of destroying our family happy loving home my health risk my heart and our daughter her health have anemia and my husband health from work lose more of brother's in fighting in war front his face lose his nephew than evil mother destroying him more putting me twice in jail his mother is killing me and her dad her real suffering our health problems
May God bless & watch over all of your family. Thanks to all of you for your unselfish love & service of our country.
That's a beautiful song your got a amazing voice love the video just amazing
The light will stay on forever at my house for the soldier who never came home. Miss you little brother,
I am 20 years old #2020 and honestly this is the most sweetest and most saddest song I've probably heard.... she has such a be voice that as soon as she starts singing you dont want her to stop.... she does good on this song..
Frank Brown I’m also listening in 2020 and she has the most beautiful voice ever, I was reading the description when the video started and I couldn’t finish reading it because her voice was so lovely that I had to stop and listen to it. I also love how in the beginning of the video she came a stood beside the kneeling soldier and put her hand on his soldier, I found that very touching.
@@ronijohnson2769 yeah, she has a lovely voice.... shes good.... I could listen to her all day and every day..😀😀😀
I remember playing this song a couple yrs ago I said that when I turn 18 I am enlisting in the army well this Monday I'm going to my dream will be coming true thanks to all that served our country
Thank you for serving your Country. It's not easy but worth it. Learn well. Stay safe and brave, and you will be fine. God bless you.
I was that soldier who had a daughter who was little... dang song made me cry..
It was a beautiful song!!! It reminds me of when my son went to Irac after he joined the Marines. I spent many nights & days worrying about him. Thank God he came safely home to me that was after a few scary moments overseas.
I've had the thousand mile stare look back at me in the mirror, I will spend the rest of my life working to never let my loved ones meet the guy I sometimes still see in that mirror, and making there lives the ones I fought to preserve! I will never be the kid I was, but I refuse to be less than the Man they deserve, My Country required my service, my Family deserves my future! Thanks be to God for the opportunity!
Thank you AND your family for your service and their service. It’s not easy. I’ve had many family members serve and it’s so hard.
That's my biggest fear that my family sees the man I was the man I see in the mirror.....
I hear you, Brother. Amen.
Its a thousand yard stare but can feel like miles and God Bless anyone who has served for their country. Please speak to someone about the guy in the mirror you do not want your family to meet. It's OK to need help and support. Take care.
WAIT WHAT, UA-cam recommendation disappointed me this time. 7 years ago, this beauty was published, what an incredible tribute.
@Daniel Rodriguez Yep
I never met my grandpa but I know one thing he was an amazing soldier and I plan to follow in his foot steps
Retired from the Navy after 23 years, I am SO glad that "SOME" people still care! God Bless!
I would like to be a sniper in the military or any position, I’m 15 but still not sure if that’s what I want to do.
My dad retired from the Navy after 20 years...I grew up being a military brat...oh this song had me in total tears!
I served in desert Storm and three deployments after 9/11. The tributes need to go to the families that waited and wondered while we were gone, our spouses that kept things going at home, and the children that only got a phone call once in a while, that were six months when we left and a year and a half when we got back, wondering who we were.
Kritteran Vorhallen from a country far away I want to say thank you, not just for fighting for the greatest country but for fighting for peace. Thank you
I’m 18 years old and I’m about to go to MEPs and get sworn in for Active Duty. My mom begs me not to do it but I’m gonna go serve my country for kids and family and for America. People who dislikes stuff needs to look back at the Soldiers that fought in Iraq and the people who died for us to have freedom. If I’m gonna die I’m gonna die serving my country right alongside my brothers and sisters
Brianna Pace good luck hope it went well for you. It’s opening many opportunities for you
Joshua Neuhaus Thank you so much
Good luck Brianna, and may God be with you
star warz fan 4 thank you
No problem, no need to thank me ma'am
I am balling like a baby listening to this. As a Desert Storm Veteran, I proudly served. My Dad fought in Vietnam, and my Grandpa in WWII. I have 2 children who are proudly serving as Officers in the Air Force...I also have a cousin who retired after 23 years in the Special Forces. I salute all of you that are serving right now and to all the Veterans out there, my prayers are with you...to the ones that have fallen in the tour of duty, I pray to God that they are doing well in Heaven...Thank you

Song hits home. Knew my dad. I lost my dad and brother in Afghanistan. Dad in middle school. Brother in high school
I can't control my tears Lord bless the whole soldiers all over the world
I was OK up to “missing dad formation”. You made an old soldier cry, young lady. And reflect. Thank you.
As a soldier that recently returned from Afghanistan, I watched countless good and bad people get blow up. One of them could have been me. But I made it home. Always keep the light on!
Nic Fuller welcome home. Thank you for your service.
Welcome home sir. Thank you for your service.
Welcome home Nic Fuller
Welcome home! Thank you for everything!
Thank for your service!!!!
Well young lady you have made a decorated veteran from across the pond weep. You are a real ray of sunshine and I thank you for your lovely tribute. We will remember them. 😢
I am a Army Veteran that this amazing song touched a super special place. I was deployed right after my daughter was born and I missed almost all her 1sts. Steps,words everything and to this day my daughter holds it against me. Still does not understand. Great song !!
My dad served in the British Army vs IRA, my grandfather and other families have fought other wars like WW2 and WW1. I might not be in the army myself but I’m proud to be their daughter, granddaughter etc. They served our country proud. Too bad the country isn’t doing good now.

I'm a retired military man after 22 years of service. Being out there is hard, but I had a strong wife back home that kept the kids safe and left the light on for me. When we come back, we bring "baggage" and having someone at home that doesn't ask questions, doesn't care what happened, and is only happy you have come home is the best healing magic you can hope for. That song spoke volumes about the brave men and women not on the battle lines, but still battling back at home for us to have a place to come back to. Well done!
Thank you for the great comments. Yes, I was the Father in the video. And She has a great voice. I just retired frim the Army myself 21yrs.
Thank you for your service i hope things are good.
I lost my dad a year a go and kept phone so my name is Kelly no my dad wasnt military. But my family is
Very beautiful song, brought tears to my eyes. I am a Disabled Veteran, from Desert Storm.
My only son who happens to be my bestfriend is in the Army. I miss seeing his face and talking to him everyday. I havent been the same since he left...i think about him constantly. What I wouldn't give to be able to rewind the hands of time and just be holding him on my lap with his blankey and bunny blue.
I love u Joey!

wow My dad is a soldier as well and he left for a while and he never made it back this song is really sweet
Maddie Kliethermes I'm so sorry for your loss. Your dad is a hero🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
This bring me to tears, my Dad was a transporter, one day while we await his return home we've that he had an accident that claim his life, I was 14years then, the news sounded like a joke, that even after a very long time I still wish that one day he would just walk in through the day, I long to hear his voice console me and cheers me on, I long for his pat on my shoulders and tell me how well I have done while he was away,,, my momma did all she could to keep us together,,,, I love my mom and I still miss my Dad, it's been 22years.
GOD BLESS you and your family, your story brought me to tears and that's not easy to do to a 69 year old Vet who has seen a lot during my time in the Army and have lost some good friends. Always remember your dad is looking down and helping you to walk on GODS path to Heaven to be with him again !!
Sweety I'm the daughter of a deceased honor guard he said never gone change of duty to help other vets get home safe he knew he raised me strong enough to keep him in my heart and soul and hold onto the love he had for us our moms are our heros too after 50 plus years of losing my dad she raised us alone I still send her a mother and father's day card she was both and has never dated after losing the man she said no other man could live up too we have been shown what true love really is
From a military family this song hits home. This Morning I had a conversation with my fiancé. I enlisted into the army this morning. I’m doing it all for my family and my country. 🥰🤞🏻
I hope you do it in your own country mate
Fair play to you , I hope you do ur country pround , wish I was strong enough to jion.
Such a beautiful and touching tribute.. As the daughter of a veteran, an Air Force veteran, retiree, and the mother of a soldier, this song warms my heart every time I hear it. I make sure I share it every Memorial Day, because it's important to remember the families left behind!
What a beautiful song ! I’m a military spouse myself and as much I appreciate all the sacrifices my husband has to make..it makes me really sad at the same time..he never met our baby girl yet..but I’m proud of him..for all he does and keeping us safe ❤️
i cry every time I watch....and every now and then, I do it again. Beautiful song
Reading these comments and listening to the song gave me hope because I was in the Marine special Forces or M.A.R.S.O.C. and I lost my brother when he had turned 19 so thank you to all who support vets like me and most importantly thank you Riley
Thank you!
Thank u for honoring my father💕
Amazing, there are no songs that bring me to tears but tonight...
John Grimes bro there's a good amount of songs like these trust me they are great songs
Every time I hear this song, I cry silent tears. We serve those at home also serve.
