    My father fought in Vietnam. We lost him 28 years ago but he remains my hero to this day. I will never take our freedom for granted. God Bless all that have fallen

    Our Heavenly Father, I pray your children open their hearts, loose their selfishness, self-centered ways and reflected on our nations history. This video is one of a few that needs to be in our schools and church services. Thank you for your loving, Christian ways you are examples of His honor. May God Bless the United States of America. Pray for our new President Elect Trump and his team to heal from all the adversity and to be honest, shame, they are challenged by daily. A hope for our status of that honor is close at hand - One Nation Under God.

    The price of liberty is very high, but worth it. I am a U.S.Army Vet, my Uncles both served in 'Nam, my Grandfather and his brothers served in WWII and Korea.

    I just saw this moving music video. I've been a huge fan of The Oakridge Boys since 1979. As a Navy and Vietnam Veteran, the ORB have given me a new reason to respect and admire them with all my heart. God Bless You Boys.

    Also, just introduced to your song G.I. Joe & Lillie. That so reminded me of my folks story. WW-II whirl wind romance. They knew each other 3 days when they got married. He was in the Navy and she was a Rosie the Riveter (worked as a riveter on aircraft and a welder on ships). He spent his last few months in the Navy in the Brig because he went AWOL to be with his new bride. They were married 61 years when my Dad passed in 2006. Thanks for both songs.....

    I was working the midnight shift on cardiac care when I was notified that a soldier returning to Iraq had become unresponsive on the plane. The flight landed on the nearest strip and the young man came to me. He was accompanied by his sergeant. The sergeant was only 19 and headed back for his second tour. I mentioned that my nephew had just returned. He said, in such a serious voice, "I am grateful he made it back." I was stunned at the calm acceptance of what he was going back to face. I hope he also made it back.

    The price is heavy, some don't make it home some do, some with injuries that they don't share, we try to look normal, but sometimes we are alone with our thoughts and we look up and see the smile on our saviors face, as He says so ever kindly," well done my faithful servant"

      God bless you Joe, as well as Duane, Richard, William Lee, the band, and those you pay tribute to with this song. We appreciate all of you more than you could ever hope for or even imagine. The troops (past and present) and public emergency servants inspire you to bring us songs that inspire those of us who actually listen to their words. Some of us don't have the physical, mental, or emotional makeup to be servants of that type. But speaking for myself who happens to be one of the weaker ones, I admire you and those who pay tribute to you. Count me among the latter.

    coastiedoc617, I am a retired Army First Sergeant and I have been guilty myself of forgetting your service in conversations. You have a valid point and the Coast Guard should be more readily recognized by everyone. Please accept my humble apologies from one old dog who should have known better.

    I ask each and everyone of you that as you get ready for Memorial Day on Monday that you not forget that this isn't a three day holiday weekend but rather a somber time to take time out to Remember, Honor and Pay Tribute and Respect to those that have served, sacrificed and unselfishly gave their all for us and our Country. From all wars past and present. At 3PM Mon The National Moment of Remembrance takes place. Wherever you may be at 3 PM please observe a moment of silence in honor of our Heroes. If driving, you are asked to turn your headlights on. It's the least we can do for those that have chosen to give their all so that we may continue to live in freedom. And by all means if you know of any Gold Star Families.. Please thank them for their sacrifices as well. Please feel free to share this with your friends... Thanks~ Frances

    Freedom is not free
    Many have sacrificed
    for all the freedoms
    that we enjoy.
    Let us never throw them away
    like so much trash.
    Let us fight for all
    the freedoms that we enjoy
    at the expense;
    at the sacrifice
    of so many others.

  • @oakridgeboys

    Sir, I am sure it is of little consolation to you, but the version of this video that The Oak Ridge Boys use in their stage show does indeed include the US Coast Guard logo, equally and right along side the other 4 branches. It was an unfortunate circumstance that allowed this version to be posted without and unfortunately UA-cam policy would not allow a simple switch of the video. Many links had been distributed, so it became impossible to simply remove it and start over. That is the reason.

    Great song, never enough recognition can be given to our military,police & firemen. Thanks
    just one issue with video is the using of the Soviet Union eternal flame, when honoring the
    US military. The USSR contributed to the lost of many US personnel.
