@@donaldjpatriot2230 we are losing one of the greatest generation of men there will ever be. My dad and uncles were part of that. I don’t know what the world is going to do without them.
My dad a WW2 vet died in 08 and my wife put together a picture video and used In Color for the first song. The old B&W photos fit in with the song so well. Dad even had an army buddy named McGee. The first color pic was of their wedding and the flowers were red. I tear up ever time I hear this song.
I did the same for my Daddy in 2009. It was the most beautiful tribute to him. There were many tears in that chapel. Jamey Johnson you are amazing with this song.
I dedicate this song to my grandfather and his brothers that stormed the blood-stained beaches of Normandy! I'm thankful we didn't have to see it in color! For those that did could never forget and my grandfather never forgot it in his 91 years!!!
My uncle was with E Company 16th infantry 1st Division. He was in the first wave to hit Omaha Beach. He saw action from Africa, Sicily, France and finally Germany. About a week before Germany surrendered he and many others who had seen as much action as him were given 30 days Liberty passes. He decided to go to Paris with some other guys in his outfit. He was in Paris when Germany surrendered. He said it was a three day long celebration. He had pictures from those days and it did indeed look like a fantastic time. After liberty he they were making plans to begin training for the possible invasion of Japan which obviously never happened. He was discharged in early December of 1945 and made it back home About a month later. The most amazing thing is that with all of the action he saw he never got as much as a scratch. He struggled with what we now would call survivors guilt and PTSD. He drank heavily throughout his life after the war but was able to hold a good job and provided well for his family. He passed away from a heart attack in 1988. I wish I knew how valuable his experience was when I was younger. I wish I would have had the sense to thank him for what he did over there. RIP Uncle Fred.
My dad and brother served in ww2 and they were stationed there together and served together side by side fighting for our country and our freedom they’re both passed away long ago sure do miss them and all the stories about their there battle GOD BLESS THEM BOTH AMEN
This is the quintessential country song about trying to stay alive during the toughest of times. Praise God for Johnny McGee the tail gunner and all of those tail gunners who never came home.
I still remember asking and talking to Daddy about when He was little and growing up in the Great Depression( Daddy was born 1925 ) . .. He said He quit school in the 2nd grade to help his daddy farm and He had no shoes 😢💔💔💔. Said He would dig his feet up in dirt find a cool spot for his feet . I always remember that and then and there I decided I would Always Work hard and make something. I hope Daddy is Proud of Me .
@@chriscook1249 what about that ... , ♥️♥️♥️♥️!! I remember My Daddy telling Me how He would plow fields and work all day for a dime ,& glad to get it . Many nowadays would even know a hard days work ! I sure do ;) ... We grew up hard but had more than most could buy and that’s LOVE ❤️. I wouldn’t trade any childhood for any amount of money .
This song brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it. My grandfather's fought in WW2 and I have seen plenty of Black and white pictures of them and my grandmother's. They definitely lived a different life than any of us have and anyone who doesn't realize the sacrifices they made so that we can all live the way we do now, doesn't know a damn thing about this country!!
I dont like country music but this is amazing. The first time I heard it I stopped dead in my tracks just to listen and take it all in. It's one of those rare songs that you wished would never end.
I cry every time I here this, memories of my grandparents my dad and uncles in WW2 and friends that went to Vietnam and now Iraq, Afghanistan. Thank God they did what they did to keep us free.
Wish I'd had all my Grandmothers photos. SHE WAS what he's singing about. First of the Female Marines. I disappointed her to her grave. :(:(:( A "friend" wanted to show up in a Rolls Royce. She wasn't impressed by a Cadillac. People of that era, weren't. I fought, to give her the burial she wanted. She knows.
Here I am again revisiting this amazing blessing....in the last 3 years I have almost died 4 times so I truly now realize what a gift it is to have Jesus in my life....thank you Joey again and again and again till I pass...this song and this video will be played when they lay me down to rest for eternity
This Marine is a national treasure! He sings from the heart about things that we can all relate to. As long as there are singers that do that, then America music will survive!
Amen! We did it!! I followed my Grand-Pa in 3rd Army. Locals don't know the pain we do every night! Always thank a Veteran for keeping this country the Best in the world! We will do it again if every needed!!!
I never cared for country, then about 7 years ago I found song and it blew me away. I have found a few gems since then including just today Brooks and Dunn - Believe.
I’m also a veteran. I’m sorry for all the soldiers that have went before us that haven’t heard this song or know the Lord Jesus and His love.Amen brother
My Mother used to tell me this song reminder her of my brother and I. We are both Army combat veterans, trained together and fought in Iraq together. I think the second verse is why she felt that way about the song. She passed away November 18, 2019 and we played it at her funeral. Now I still tear up when I hear it. Thank you so much for this performance. Amazing.
Whoever gave thumbs down to this song has no taste and probably likes mumble rap. This song hits anyone who has grandparents and respects their elders and their stories. If this song doesn’t touch you in any way shape or form. You have issues for sure. Great song and I’m not much a Fan of Country but this song is pretty amazing
This song conjures up so many different emotions and memories. Simply a masterpiece of a song, ashamed more people haven't heard it. I am 57 and still fortunate that my Grandfather is still alive, he's 96 and was born in Two-Dot Montana, fought in World War 2 in Saipan still lives in Montana. Obviously this song makes me think of him and my Grandmother who passed 23 years ago. Very special song
With every loved one I've lost along the way, this song got a little harder to listen to...now that they're all gone, I can't make it through this song without a tear in my eye.
This is my great grandpa's favorite song! He passed away when I was 5 from lung cancer...I MISS HIM SO MUCH!!!!We had our own little handshake and everything.When I woke up in the morning I went to his room and we would eat eggs and bacon together.This song reminds me of him that's why I cry during it.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Amber. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful story of your memories with your Great Grandpa! Truly! Stay Blessed! 💯❤️🇺🇸
Hello Jamie My brother Greg * Marine..was there. I'm so proud of him, he doesn't talk much about Vietnam but I can see his pain. Vietnam was different then, our heroes came home as baby killer / they discripted the soldiers who pressured our Pease. Now are soldiers come home with bells n whistles. HEREOS I HAVE never been more proud of my older brother Greg. Each war is tuff, but remember all who served, no difference of year n rank. God bless our service men an women.

I was in A Company 5th Battalion 7th Calvary 1st Calvary Division 20 miles from the DMZand 20 miles from the Laos border in January 1968 20 years old . When the offense started we went out with a Company and came back with a platoon in a month and half. That is why we call it a brotherhood. Jamey Johnson song Color resonates with us. Spin Hrabik
Powerful, powerful, beautiful song. Kids out there...you can rap, shake your ass, tattoo your whole body.. but this is what TRUE passion and real talent is.
Think about how many people feel the way this guy's does and then think about how many of these rich men we are talking about. We could win this if we all stand together
This Marine put in song exactly who and what America’s “Greatest Generation” was, and how we should all look back at them with love, appreciation and the utmost respect.
I play this song endlessly... Thank you heroes from the USA.! You liberated us from the Nazis. We love you and your beautiful country forever. Kind regards from the Netherlands/Europe.
Anyone ever have a song that they loved SO much, that you never bought the cd or downloaded it, because you wanted to have that feeling everytime you heard it by chance? This is that song for me. I have loved it since the first time I heard it when it hit the radio over 10 years ago. I never wanted it to lose its magic. It still hasn't.
My son and I just connected on guitar for the first time, with this song. I've always loved it and considering that my father was 101st Airborne during WW2, this song means even more to me now. A huge shout out to all of our Veterans. Thank you for keeping the wolves away from our doors.
I Think everyone should listen to this every morning before taking on there day. Being grateful for what we have and where we been... While we are still living in colour ... Best Songwriter in my eyes
Jamey Johnson is the perfect representative of Alabama. We are sentimental patriots, old souls, and heartfelt musicians of all races. People knock AL but people like Jamey are all over our state.
@@lifebythehorns You guys still have a chance, no doubt. AL will be the last to go, but we too shall fall, in one way or another. Find a nice small town that's unaffected by state and federal politics, then don't tell anyone. Just quietly live out your life. There are too many people, and not too many people are intelligent or creative, so all you can do is go where there are less people to find some peace.
My brother. As an 82nd Airborne medix This song is a trigger, I cry, I give remembrance I pour a sip and I give love. Thank you my frien for expressing what I can’t articulate in words. Much love. Much respect. God bless my brothers and sisters and thank you and your families for the service and sacrifice
This song is incredible! My memories of past family members run crazy in my head.....damn the tears!!! I also just love his voice, could listen to it all day!
Jamey Johnson deserves a Medal for that presentation. I always tried to learn how to get a job I do work when I can, but he took me back to a horrible night where all I had was a memory of my Sister. I'm alive today cause of the girl. I Love My Big Sis
I met my wifes uncle Herbert to talk about her family. The most memorable thing he said to me was. "We were so poor we didn't even know there was a depression" No generation since has a clue.
I ended up on Toby Keith’s band’s bus after his 2008 Cincy performance. Toby’s road drummer played on the album cut for this song. He said they recorded it in one take. One take. That’s how good Jamie truly is. Great song by a great singer/songwriter!
Without exaggeration, I've heard this song over 1000 times. This is by far the best version of it. JJ can sing the phonebook and make it sound like I'm on every page
I'll probably never meet you. This is a beautiful song. I left home out of Ohio when I was 13. Ended up working my way through highschool working for an old man who needed my help. I needed his. Pappy bowles was his name. You should have seen it in color.
That's a guy who still knows what country music is!!!!
Pure Country, the only kind I wanna hear
A fine tribute to our Greatest Generation, we sure could use them today.

Probably one of the best country songs ever written. Amazing lyrics
With out a doubt. It’s the only song that gives me chills every time I listen to it.
Yep and I don't care who you are its in the running for it a d that's saying something right there
Jamie, do you know how good you really are? I cry every time i hear this song. And im a 72 yr old navy vet. Thank you.
As God is my witness I wish I could give this song 1 Thousand likes. Jamey Johnson is blessed with a voice that can make a dead man weep.
Couldn't agree with you more. Your name says it all. I can relate.
Bless you 🙏 Always pray ✝️
Amen
Coming from someone who despises country music I can't help but agree
And us that are alive and respect our roots and family
Love this song still in 2024
I'm old school country ,this young man kills it ,song goes to my soul !! So beautiful !!
Well said, the man has it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a man, his guitar and legendary voice. Nothing else is needed.
Jamey Johnson's voice is legendary right up there between Jennings and Jones
And don't forget Mearl
Really? Think about that? Seriously?
Yeah, Just like he says, Somewhere between Jennings and Jones....
Look at the signatures on that guitar that speaks for itself.
Agree
First time I heard this song was 15 years ago. I have so many black and white pictures. This is so beautiful. Thank you
I dedicate this song to my grandfather and his brothers that stormed the blood-stained beaches of Normandy! I'm thankful we didn't have to see it in color! For those that did could never forget and my grandfather never forgot it in his 91 years!!!
if your grandfather is only 91 then he in fact, did not storm the beaches at normandy, he is korean war vet age.

There is a whole lot of talent right there on that stage. No fireworks or dancers required! Just heart! One of the very few (very few) left
Along with Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Sturgill Simpson, Cody Jinks and more out there that need to be discovered
Country music coming back i hope
Do yourself a favor and check out Tyler Childers.
got to agree there aren't many left. George Jones said who's going to fill there shoes.
Go Jamey!
This is the quintessential country song about trying to stay alive during the toughest of times. Praise God for Johnny McGee the tail gunner and all of those tail gunners who never came home.
Jamey Johnson voice is what country music needs... Great performance
He and Chris Stapleton are the real deal.
cindy sutton agree
Only the best survive in this cut throte buisness but there are a select few that go unreconised
Aaron Lewis ain't half bad
Wonder if they ever played together
ADK Buckhunter 30.06 beat me to it!

I just discovered Jamey Johnson. WOW!! What a singer songwriter. His songs are sooo deep. ❤
This is proof that the music industry is corrupt. Talent like this go unnoticed, really......
I think everyone notices this guy, he's been in the industry for 30 years
I cry every time I here this, memories of my grandparents my dad and uncles in WW2 and friends that went to Vietnam and now Iraq, Afghanistan.
Thank God they did what they did to keep us free.
Me too and wish the girl gets a hair cut l mean man . sorry I thought he was a girl with a man voice

Without exaggeration, I've heard this song over 1000 times. This is by far the best version of it. JJ can sing the phonebook and make it sound like I'm on every page
I'll probably never meet you. This is a beautiful song.
I left home out of Ohio when I was 13. Ended up working my way through highschool working for an old man who needed my help. I needed his. Pappy bowles was his name. You should have seen it in color.
