This is surprising to hear from such an upbeat guy who makes hilarious videos of songs while teaching at the same time. Thank you for your service Mr. Betts...
A tear came down my face as I watched this. Bless you Betts and thank you for your service. I'm glad you're as successful as you are now, and you deserve it!
Beautiful video. Thanks for your service and the others who also served. We must take care of these brave individuals. Paying for college is a good step but helping with mental health care has been messy. Veterans should be getting the best health care possible. Also, Iraq was truly a catastrophe that didn't need to be invaded and occupied at all. 100,000+ deaths form Iraq alone, shameful.
Bless you Mr. Betts and thank you for your service. The only person in my family to serve was my grand pappy's uncle in the Pacific Theater of WW2 but that's all. God bless you and God bless the US 🇺🇲
My own eight years of enlistment in the Army ended on July 31, 2001. While were served on either side of *that day*, and in different services, I think we share the same feelings about the meaning of that service and what we wish others could understand as well. Thank you brother.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I love and appreciate you so much! I’m so glad my teacher decided to show us the Plessy vs Ferguson video in 8th grade! I’ve been watching your videos for a little over half a year I think and I’m so happy I decided to check out your channel.
Thank you for your service. My grandpa was in the navy, my dad was in in the navy, my uncle was in the army, and my other uncle was on the coast guard and now I’m intent on joining the navy and then going into law enforcement. All I want to do is protect people and help the community.
Hey mr betts,im a 12 yo girl,and ur vids teach me alot, last year my teacher showed ur vids to but i watched this vid on my own.all i can say is this is a poweful and true story,it stood out to me alot.I cried and i cried some more.i wanted to join the army but,u made me think about the brokeness it could cause to the ppl i love. Soi want to thank you.Not saying i may not join but it will make me think more about my decision💖🇺🇸
I wish I could show this to my 8th graders- we watch your videos all the time. They are obsessed with you! They want to know where you teach, etc... I was so moved by this video, I feel such pride in what you have done for our country and I am truly sorry for the sadness and loneliness I'm sure you felt.. I am glad you made it home safely and hope you can share more of your personal story with us. You truly do inspire me in the classroom and I will share with my classes some of your Military story.. Thank you for your service and for brightening up my 8th grade social studies class!!!
I’m shipping off to Navy boot camp on Tuesday, and I’m going back to MEPS tomorrow morning. Thank you for your service (in the best branch, especially).
Mr. Betts. Facebook actually brought me here believe it or not. I didn’t realize you released this video 8 months ago. I’m telling you, you have something here, Mr. Betts. I hope you look into storytelling/podcasts more. Your story not only is captivating but is really raw. You have a knack for writing (and art of course). Thanks for sharing it and thank you for your service.
MrBettsClass 🤔 there has to be some sort of military podcast you can submit the story to? It had a real This American Life/ Radio Lab / or even Love+Radio feel to it. Do you have a blog yet? I am trying to get Matt to expand more on the blog platform too. He tried a podcast but it didn’t really go anywhere.
wow!!! as a former military brat (my dad "played" sailor every weekend until he just disappeared for a few years as he got called up--lt. commander) this was beautiful - wish you didn't have to go through the pain but thanks for serving our country
My dad is a 55 year old and I'm 12 but he was a solder in the Navy in the 90s but before he was just a mechanic with a sense of humor after he left the Navy he was very different but got used to normal life again
Thank you for sharing your story. Your right, every veteran has a story and they all deserve to be heard. I loved what Dan Crenshaw has suggested to be said along with "Thank you for your service". I agree that each veteran needs to hear "Never Forget". So I say to you, thank you for your service and never ever forget. You are a blessing and an inspiration. God Bless, sir!
This is surprising to hear from such an upbeat guy who makes hilarious videos of songs while teaching at the same time. Thank you for your service Mr. Betts...

Powerful. Most of us will never be able to capture what it is to be a veteran in ways that civilians understand. Thank you.
Thx for serving you deserve a high five and more
Thanks. I settle for some subs to help reach my goal of 70,000 by the end of the year.
