    I was an 11 year old boy in 1966 comin home from school. I put the key in the lock , opened the door and there was my big brother Gerry on the bed watchin Superman . He just got done with basic and advanced training as a member of the 173rd Airborne . He was shipped out to Vietnam one week later. He gave me a big hug and I was so happy 2 see him. One year later a big black car / limousine came 2 pick me and my family up 4 a ride. All I remember after that was a flag draped casket, 21 gun salute and a bug L er blowing Taps. Gerry was being laid 2 rest with full military honors. I dedicate this song 2 Gerry and his Co N rades who paid the ultimate sacrifice ,
    Nov.21,1867 DakTo vietnam.Vietnam., Hill 875.Fifty five years later that 11 year old boy is now 66. This video hit me in ways that you just don't know! I hope that my big brother Gerry, " my hero"., is resting peacefully with his buddies from the 173rd on that mountain above! Thank You guys Godbless!
    Note : The date above 1867 is incorrect of course. The correct date is 1967.

      Don't hold them back when he crosses your mind. It's ok to cry. Just don't dwell upon that he is no longer beside you physically. He will always be with you. Every time you look in the mirror, he is right there staring back at you. Every time you use a skill, he taught you, he will be right there watching you and smiling at your mastery of that skill. As long as you remember those you love, they are never truly gone. ❤

    He had found this song after his dad died. He said it reminded him of his dad, and his uncle who had died in Vietnam. He listened to it several times over the years.
    When he had a heart attack, he started listening to it several times a day until a second heart attack took him a month later. It was like he was giving himself permission to go in peace. 😢

    My son has been fighting a heart defect his entire life. 4 open heart surgeries, and multiple hospital admissions and other minor surgeries. September 2019 he had his final surgery along with a pacemaker placement right before his third birthday. He was given a 75 percent chance of making it to his 5th birthday. Recently he suffered his second minor stroke and right now I am praying that he doesn't contract this virus because it would be deadly for him. I have been planning a life for him and his funeral his whole life. This song is what I had picked out for him because the lyrics resonate so deep with me. This version is the version I would pick.

    I wish to thank this group for their hurt-felt songs. I happen to be a three time Vietnam Veteran that had lost hope and didn't expect to return home. I left for war in ChuLai in 1966,.Then returned in 1967 and stayed over into 1968 to serve in the Hue/PhuBai area during the Tet offensive. Only to return again to Danang in 1969 for several months prior to my discharge. Shortly after my discharge my Bay girl passed away of crib death and I suffered for many years. Now, at 75, I have finally found some piece. With a great deal of help of my mental condition. I have regain feelings and emotions and thoroughly enjoy the heart felt music of this group.

Y'all are so talented and convey so much emotion in y'all's voices that it brings this song home. I've heard so many versions of this great song, but this has now become my favorite by far. Paired with the video, it makes my soul ache in the best possible way. Please never stop making these beautiful, haunting songs. I would also ask that, with July fourth being just over a week away, remember all those who have laid down their lives in service of our country and the people who live in it, and never forget their bravery and courage in the face of insurmountable odds. Thank y'all so much for this, and God bless.

    i do not wish to take away from those that have served and sacrificed for all of us. this song means something entirely different to me than what most take it to mean. for me, it is a celebration of my mother's journey through this life, and testament to her fight against not only cancer, but the tragedies she faced. a testimony to her never-ending battle to be her best self, to overcome her weaknesses and live her life as the best version of herself....i buried her six years ago and i still cannot keep the tears from flowing when i try to sing this song for her...i do not have the heart to let it ring out.....i want so badly to be able to sing this with all my heart for her, yet i fall to pieces at the first line...she suffered so much long before cancer got it's hooks into her. my mother's life was far from prosperous and she persevered throughout it all. she was used, abused and treated as an object for so many years...she overcame, she grew and she taught my siblings and i how to be decent, kind human beings....and i never got the chance to repay her, to show her that all her effort paid off....i never got to prove to her that all her suffering was not for nothing. i never got to take care of her as she cared for me....i hate that i have to be the person to say "if only she could see me now". i took too long to grow up, i wasted the time i had with her....but she was unique and precious, she was sigularly special. her life serves as an example, i learn from her every single day. i am now 30 years old and i cannot help but miss my mommy....i hate it so much....but i cannot deny the reality of it.

I buried my father 16 years ago this month, and my one true regret is that I did not record his stories about his service in WW2, while he was alive. He was a AAA gunner and later a combat engineer, and I loved to listen to his stories of the war and his little part in it. People need to hear about those little parts, as that's what makes up the bigger story. I choke up every time I hear this song, no matter who sings it, as it always reminds me of him. Thank you, sir.

    Beautiful rendition. I wish, however, just once, that somebody would do this song and apply it to people other than veterans. I have the ultimate respect for people who serve, and I’m grateful for their sacrifice. But this song is about struggling in life through pain, and then finally coming to rest. As an abuse survivor, myself, I have identified with this song ever since I first heard it performed by Vince Gill. And now, that I’m battling a terminal illness, this song is even more poignant for me than before.
    I would love to see somebody do a video of this song that pays tribute to all of those who suffer other types of pain in life- mental, physical, emotional, etc., and eventually find their moment of rest when they cross through the veil and return home. Regardless, this is another beautiful rendition. God bless our troops! ❤

    Absolutely outstanding arrangement and cover of a great Vince Gill song. I get emotional every time I hear it and yours is right up there alongside with Vince's original. I can hardly wait to see you all live in concert when you are able to perform again.
    As a Vietnam Veteran, the son of a veteran and nephew of veterans, this song is very special to me. Thank you again!
    God Bless you all!

    when Vince Gill released this song, it hit me very hard. I had, as a soldier, sent way too many good men home under the flag. it also burned with images of my father, who after surviving Viet Nam, fell to cancer after almost 3 years fighting it. I had talked to my son about having that be played at any services when my time comes. after hearing this version, with the inclusion of Amazing grace, and the superb harmonizing, I talked to him again, and said no, THIS is the version I want played at any services held for me. I honestly believe this is your finest song to date.

    I tried to listen to this song...couldn't make it through the chorus. Started crying. This song was dedicated to my dad (a life long truck driver) when he passed away...and I haven't been able to hear it since.
    *Edit: 1 year later...purchased tickets to go see and meet you guys this April 2022. So I figured I should try and listen to this song...since it may be on the set list. I made it all the way through....bawling my eyes out the entire time. So fair warning. If this song is on the set list for your show on April 17th in Montréal Canada, and you hear some lunatic whaling in the crowd....that's just me.

I lost my wife at 38 and I also lost my Job. I saw my life turning around for the best when I met Lyra holt Dean at a church service in New York (google her name) and ask your questions and pray because its GOD doing. Amen John 14:16 God said he is going to send you a helper that will be with you forever.

His job on earth is done and may He rest in Heaven (until His return). Listen again but think of Christ when you listen and tell me it doesnt fit
