    Lyrics:
    That's something to be proud of
    That's a life you can hang your hat on
    That's a chin held high as the tears fall down
    A gut sucked in, a chest stuck out
    Like a small town flag a-flyin'
    Or a newborn baby cryin'
    In the arms of the woman that you love
    That's something to be proud of

    I ignored my own needs in life and helped my late elderly Mother fight cancer for the last 10 years of her life. I said that I'd not comment unless it's an emergency and Mom's memory is the most important emergency because I love her and miss her. She's the only kindness that I've seen in this world in the past 30 years. I am my Mother's son.

    “Got your chin held high as tears fall down, gut sucked in, chest stuck out”
    That’s how I feel a lot. I cry almost daily sometimes for no reason and start panicking, but I still have to put on a brave face and deal with the world, so sometimes I end up doing exactly that. Keep my chin up with tears on my face, and figure out how to keep moving forward and ignore the tears.

    This is such an underrated song. Every son knows what it’s like to want to make your dad proud. Especially coming from a family with a successful father and a not so successful son. My dad never gave me his money but just his wisdom and always told me stuff like this. Fantastic line “you don’t need to make the millions, just be thankful to be working.”

    I’m going to be 4 years sober this August and that’s something to be proud of. In the most humble manner possible, I couldn’t have done it without Jesus. Some truly terrible things happened to me over the last 3 1/2 years and I’m basically the modern version of Job from the Bible. Yet, 4 1/2 years ago. I called upon the Lord after being an atheist all through college and he opened the clouds and left me standing in the light.

      If I can offer you anything at my age (34) - start saving as much you can for retirement now. I was only focused on the brand new shiny, impress girls and friends, and now I'm twice your age and trying to catch up for a somewhat lost 17 years (or at least 10) where I could've been shoveling money into 401(k)s and stuff. Trying to catch up when you missed all that is pretty expensive. You don't have to be eating out of a bean can every night because you're saving too much, but save as much as you can now. You will thank yourself in another 17 years, I promise.

    As a daughter who saw first hand a dad who did everything for his children. I wanted nothing more than to see my dad happy, he deserves more than this world can offer him. 50 yrs and finally he made his forever home. Tears of sadness seeing him tired, stressed all those years are replaced with tears of joy, love and gratefulness because through all those hard times he was a father who no matter what WAS PRESENT, WAS THERE and now I'm so thankful to say he is finally getting what he deserves. I Love you dad, Si Dios Quere

I help take care of my brothers, stay up till 10:00 to get my Hw done, make lunches, help with breakfast and dinner, try to keep up on my jobs, ride horses, work with my friends raising money for causes, and managing to go out to work with horses every sat. just because i love to. My dad gets all choked up with me when he talks about it. My dads grandfather past away before i was born in the military, rest in peace.

    I always took my granddaddy’s stories for granted. I recently got out of the army and I miss sitting in front of his lazy chair. He was the first pilot to lead females to dog fight the old school way for on single engine fighters. Colonel Ingrum was his name. He escorted the first soviet bombers to Alaska. Man the stories I heard. The struggles of my great grandmother went through while he was gone. Stories of the dust bowl. How I miss them so much.

All though we don't have a ton of money at the end of the month after bills are paid, we do have what we need and some of what the kids "want"! i put a 6 bedroom roof over their heads, food in their bellies, clothes on their backs, and shoes on their feet! It doesn't matter how much money we have as long as they are taken care of. Don't worry, it pays off in the end to see the smiles on the faces of the ones you love!

    This song (& most patriotic songs) makes me think of my 💗💗💗Dad💗💗💗, the greatest man to ever walk this Earth, save The Lord GOD/JESUS himself. He was a Vietnam Marine. He never talked about his service in The Corps. However I did grow up surrounded by police officers (he became a County Sheriff after he EASed) & Marines. I made a bee line to The Corps !!! He's been gone now 31 years (& each damn day feels like that day I got "the phone call"). You could NEVER convince me that he wasn't 10' tall and made of iron ... untill he passed. Now He's with CHRIST & he's watching over his Granddaughter !!! NOW THAT'S SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF 😉. Semper Fi Dad !!!
