- "I wrote this song about my Grandfather's service in WWII, but also for ALL our Veterans who have served over the decades on behalf of our nation. I hope this song reminds everyone of their family heroes who served, and brings a sense of American pride and honor to their hearts. I was honored to have Veterans from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraqi Freedom and Desert Storm representing all the major conflicts we've been in since 1940 featured together in the video for "The Man." The Greatest Generation are the shoulders we have stood upon since WWII, and now it's our turn to be the strong shoulders for future Americans. The bar has been set, it's time to rise to the occasion."
John Rich in one song, just sang about more history than most college kids know these days.. God Bless the United States of America 🇺🇸💪
You are definitely not kidding what a shame it is!
Amen to that
Love your statement.
Love our country and love this song
dearly.
I sent it to my two military kids
They loved it.
Sad but true . 🇺🇸
So very true. As a college professor of American History (and a veteran), I am grateful to impart on young people today the very history, the true and correct history, they don't get in high school anymore.
My Daddy fought in WWII & my Father-in-law fought WWII, Korean & Vietnam War. I was seven years old when my Daddy went to heaven. My Father-in-law died in 1990 he was hailed a war hero & is buried in Arlington National Cementary. Both my Daddy & Father-in-law fought with Valor for America. They gave nothing less than blood, sweat & tears for this once great country. True American Heroes!!
Honored by your heroic families sacrifice! God bless you! My respect to you, your grandfather, and father! Warrior blood is in your veins!
God Bless your Daddy and your Father-in-law. 🇺🇲
They will never die if we keep freedom alive.

As a veteran from Oklahoma, heard this today for the first time and had tears. God bless ALL of our veterans and the ones who paid the price for our freedom and this country!!!!!!!
Awesome song John! Thank you for honoring the heroes of the greatest generation! God bless our warriors past and present! Bless you my brother 👏🙏🏻
I love our veterans sitting there proup. Holding their pictures. They are the greatest generation!
such a great song and fitting tribute to our brothers in arms before us.
My father served in WWII as tail gunner for mighty 8th Army Air Force. Flew many missions over Germany. He physically survived but not mentally - died at 80. God have mercy on our country, if not for us, for those who sacrificed so much.
Beautiful song. God Bless John for all you does.
Powerful kids these days have no idea
John- I love this! My Father was in the army in WW11 and served, my Grandpa in Army WW1. Proud of both of them with all my heart! God bless all the men and Women who serve to protect us! And thank you for standing up and singing about them!
Lea and I worked together and her and Wade did great in the video❤️
My daddy served and fought in the Korea war, I am veteran's daughter and my husband served and fought in Desert Storm and I am a veteran's wife. My father in law served and fought in WW2 and he is still alive at 95 yrs old but lost his hearing during the war loading arterial shells . I am a daughter in law of a veteran.
The true war stories I was told by them are not good. But I hold my heart and salute all of the 3 most important men in my life.
Thank you to every single veteran in our nation. Thank you for my freedom and protecting this most BLESSED nation. Thank you Lord for bringing them home.
Let me wipe away the tears to tell you THANK YOU! This song should be blasted on every radio station, television station, and social media platform today!!!
Heck, everyday until all people remember why this is the Greatest Nation on Earth!!! God bless you Mr. John Rich!!! 🙏✨🇺🇸
I am 52 years old and I have worked for Thacker Memorial Monument Company for 30 years and about a month ago me , my son who has been working by my side for 11 years " yes I am very blessed because working with my son every day is absolutely a blessing" we processed and installed a unique pair of stones for an elderly gentleman who was a I think late 70s or early 80s VETERAN and when we finished the job I reached out my hand to shake his and told him how much I appreciated and respected him for his service and sacrifice and what he said brought me to tears and still does to this day! Please give me a second to wipe the tears from my eyes. He told me and my son that he appreciates the gesture but it WAS A PRIVILEGE to serve HIS COUNTRY! And I will not lie that hit me like a ton of bricks! What happened to the real men who were proud to be called to defend our Freedoms? This man was so humble that every time I think about his words I start crying like a baby! What has this country become????
God bless the veterans and John Rich.
You're a good man John. Thank you for everything. God Bless you.
Thank you so much for honoring our veterans!
😢This song brought tears to my eyes and to my heart💟 God bless you, John Rich, for writing such a beautiful and meaningful song. Thank you, to the Greatest Generation for valiantly fighting and winning WW2 by saving and preserving our American Freedoms. May we forever be grateful for all you have done. May we NEVER forget your many great sacrifices, especially during this current time we live in, so that history will not be repeated.
Always amazed at how you say so much with such concise poetry and melody. Keep writing, keep singing, and thanks to all the men and women that keep Old Glory flying free!
My grandfather fought in WWII.
I have many family members who fought for this great country
Okay, I’m crying. My uncle Alfred Leon Schellenger died at the Battle of the Bulge in 1944 and he’s buried there in Spa Belgium, Henry Chapelle Cemetery. This was the most beautiful song I’ve heard you play. Thank you.
As a combat veteran this song brings tears to my eyes.
Proud son of a WWll vet and Vietnam vet myself. Great song 🎵 John
GodBless you John Rich for Writing this song. Every Word needs to be said to All who have Served and truly Saved Us and Our Country. 🙏❤❤❤❤
You did a really great job, thank you very much for sharing！👍😄👏
Canadian here. That's a tear in my eye. Thanks to the good Lord and all the Men who are/were and always will be braver and stronger then i
Canadians were impressive soldiers and airmen and served honorably. I've read their P.O.W. accounts from Japanese prisons in the book 'Pacific War P.O.W.: A Few Remaining Skeletons.'

My father was a WWII Navy Pilot in the South Pacific. He also served in the Korean War. Thank you for this song.
Ok now I am crying. God bless each and every one of the men and women that have kept and do keep us safe every day. Thank you John for this lovely tribute.
Best song ever. Thanks Mr. RICH AND the GREATEST GENERATION that saved our Freedom. ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm an Army brat. Daddy joined the Navy at the tail end of WWII. I don't remember when he joined the Army, but one of Mommie's brothers brought him back from a tour in Germany. They were married in 1958. During his military career he served in several states and did tours in Korea, Vietnam, and Germany. Our family was blessed because he and my brother both served in Vietnam and they came back alive. Neither talked about their experiences over there. Daddy left this earth 10 years ago. My brother is living with my sister. My husband, also, had a career Army man for a dad. I can't thank the veterans enough for serving wherever their commanders tell them to go.
There are several of you country artists who write such heartfelt lyrics. I always listen to "8th of November" every year. Thank you for honoring the men and women who live with seen and unseen battle scars.
Thank you John Rich. Iraqi Freedom and Desert Storm vet here. We appreciate your support.
Thanks and Blessings to you, @ stonecold385!❤️🙏
Please join your local DAV and help these guys, all ages, who are still alive. Thank you, from a fellow vet.
We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the Brave men and women who answer Uncle Sams call ! I salute you all !
Thank you John Rich God Bless you 🙏 my father fought in WW2 in the Korean War and He Said it was a war that shouldn't of happened that we had no business being there I thank the Good lord that he got to make it home and I also want to Thank All The One's That Didn't Make It Home 😢 And May there Family's BE Blessed For Their Losses 😢 God Bless 🙏 GOD BLESS ALL THE SON OF A FIGHTING MAN , LONNIE.
Chills. Thank you to every VETERAN!
This left me speechless with tears.... thank you.
My Grandfather, Father, Uncles, Brother, nephews, Son and myself all veterans, thank you.
My Dad was Army for 20yrs, Korean Conflict and Vietnam. Along with other family, I'm proud of them all.😢
Amen God bless America and all our veterans I'm a navy veteran Vietnam era 1972 to 1975 served on the USS Vesole DD 878 again thanks.
Absolutely beautiful tribute to our troops thank you John and the biggest thank you to our veterans that have fought and died to keep us doing what we love in the land of the free!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
H.O.G family love to you Mr John Rich.. again heartfelt song 💯
Thank you for your service dear Veterans. You were in the thick of it, and in one of the worst wars in United States History. There wasn't a family that didn't know someone who never came home. My Father was in the Navy Air corps but was a mechanic machine mate II or something like that. He didn't have to fight but repaired the planes used in the war. Handsome group of Patriots here! ❤🎉
Happy Veteran's Day to all my brothers in arms. I salute you and thank you for your service. May we all meet in Valhalla one day. "This we'll defend" 🇺🇸
You brought tears to my eyes, I didn't serve during that time, but I did and I was willing.
Thank you John! I hope that young people remember history. My dad was in the Navy in WWII, he enlisted at seventeen and his parents had to sign for him. He was my greatest hero until his passing in 2017, and remains my greatest hero even now.
Singing the Truth - to honor our veterans, military and teach this generation the great sacrifices that were made for our freedom. We must always recognize these hero's and honor them! Ty. 🇺🇸
God bless America and our veterans
It’s songs like this that make me a proud American veteran. God Bless America!
As tears just flowing down my eyes. This was my Dad, 15 went into Merchant Marines, and 17 went into the Army and fought in the Philippines doing the second invasion under McArthur. I also had 5 Uncles in WWII. Then my Dad also went to Korea, and my brother was in Vietnam. They are returned with of course lots of baggage to carry the rest of their lives, they are all gone now. But my love and respect for them, and all of the others will never die. I just hope this younger generation can understand and remember them. Truly the GREATEST GENERATION EVER! Thank you for this wonderful song.
Thanks John! Just an old retired Army Master Sergeant here with 6 combat tours. My Father, Uncles and Great Grandfather's all served before me. We truly stand on the shoulders of giants. God Bless all that served and my brothers that didn't make it back. I miss you guys!
This is why we give thanks to our soldiers and and our lord and a great musician...stay blessed
My granddad was in the Pacific in World War II luckily he came home my dad was two tours in Vietnam one tour in Thailand and one tour in Korea he also came home thank God. God bless all the Veterans, Service members thank you all for your Service and Sacrifice. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you Dad for your Service in WW2 and all your Campaigns.I miss you.
My daughter-in-laws grandpa joined the army in 1941 at the age of sixteen. He saw a lot of combat at that young age and he wasn’t the only under age solider. That was the generation of heroes.
My dad enlisted in the navy immediately after Pearl Harbor. Three of his brother enlisted the same day, for the army. Dad served throughout the war in the pacific, saw some horrible things, lived through hell, most of which he never talked about. When he was dying, he’d say “soon I’ll see the boys again,” and we realized he was referring to his fallen comrades, whom he kept in his heart. I think about him always and try to live the way he taught me, by word and deed, but there are more and more times these days when I’m almost glad he’s not here on earth to see the moral, ethical and civic desolation that are depicted by the media and school systems as normal. Thank you, John Rich, for this beautiful tribute.
Amen!! Great song!! God bless all our veterans and Service Men and Woman!! Thank you John Rich!!
Dear Lord, God Bless our Veterans, MIA, and Our Fallen Soldiers 💪🪖🇺🇸❤️🤍💙and their family and friends. Please be with our troops overseas right now Lord as they face conflict. Be with their loved ones at home who will not be able to rest until this conflict is over. In Jesus Holy Name, Amen✝️
❤My dad was a Navy man. ⚓ USS Missouri last part of the Korean War. We have many family members and friends who have served us well! Some gave all, All gave some. Thank you for supporting all Veterans John Rich, both emotionally and financially. Especially through Folds of Honor and Redneck Riviera Whiskey, Granny Rich Reserve, and your music. I hear the new bank you are a part of is a success as well! The "free speech" bank. l am a big fan of Old Glory Bank🎉
You're one of the good ones John.🙏🏻
Me personally, I pray for peace and the second coming of Christ 🕊️
✌️❤🙏🏻
Praying with you in Jesus' Name, Amen. Agree with your Comment too.
@@valiantwoman1 ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this song!
And I'd like to thank ALL our veterans for the freedoms we have today!
Thank you ❤
God Bless America, God Bless our Service Men/Women past and present and God Bless John Rich and other entertainers that won't let them be forgotten. ❤
My grandfather served in ww2 and he was the greatest person that I got to be raised by then came the man who I found out was my father served in Deseret Storm and I served in Iraq and Afghanistan both. Now I pray that my own son won’t have to go off to fight a war on foreign soil or here at home. I pray that we all turn back to God and let him lead this land again. Thank you for all the generations that fought before and will salute from my chair for I can no longer stand.
I was born shortly after WW2, most of my uncles served. Myself and my kids dad served during ( him in ) Vietnam, my oldest son served in Germany before the Wall came down, daughter served in the Army during Desert Storm, her husband served(Army) 2 tours in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan, youngest son(Army) served 3 tours in iraq. So very proud of all of them
I thank God and I thank the Man. Thank you for writing this song.
As an Iraq/Afghanistan combat veteran, my hats off to and deepest thanks to all my fellows vets. Many people will never understand the importance of the word sacrifice
Please join your local DAV and help these guys. We vets still have a lot of work to do. Thanks, Bro.
@@davidb2206 I’m involved in 2 at this point in 2 different counties in my state.
The character of the men of that generation is the example we need today. I miss my Dad and Uncles who were there in the Pacific and Germany.
My Dad and his brother along with my Mom’s two brothers and one Uncle of my Dad’s all served in WWII. They represented every branch at that time. Amazingly they all returned home and raised great families. That is what makes them the Greatest Generation of Men. My Dad was definitely “The Man”!!!
thank you to all the heroes 🙏 for your service
The Most Important Relevant Song of the Last 50 years. This needs to Go Viral and played in every elementary and high school in the Country. God Bless all those who serve and continue to do so.
Wow, John, this is so beautiful I’m crying. My four uncles served in WWII. Yes they were the best of America. They never spoke of it. Would never talk about it. All are buried with military honors. Remarkably, they all came home. My aunt even served in the Navy during WWII. She never spoke of it either. My dad and younger uncle served as well. Daddy on a destroyer in the Pacific after Korea. Uncle Ben served in the Army as a pilot. He was shot down over the DMZ in Korea between wars. He was held as a POW in North Korea. He came home after a year, but died in a solo plane crash in the mountains of north Georgia. So I never knew him. My father could not talk about Ben or his service either. The men in my family were the best men I’ve ever known. I would be called Ben had I been a boy. I was born a year after he died. The veterans in my family said, every one, that the heroes were the ones who did not come home. You wrote a beautiful song for your grandfather. God Bless you and your family. I thank every single person who has served this country in war and peace. 🙏🏼🧡💙😪🇺🇸🦅
Love this song!!
Another great one! And perfect for Veteran's Day coming up.
AMEN! Thank you to ALL that have served for Freedom and Liberty! God Bless!
To all those who served, Thank You and God Bless you!~
God Bless You, John Rich for always standing up for this country no matter what shape it's in. My Dad was a WW2 Army veteran. He joined the day after Pearl Harbor and served the duration of the war in the Pacific Theater. My husband was a VN Army veteran of 68-69. Thank God they both came home. I am so proud of them. This song touches deep in my heart. Thank you for sharing your God given talents with us. I hope you know how much you are loved. GOD BLESS OUR VETERANS!
What a beautiful song brought tears to my eyes I had 2 grandfathers serve and other family served and my husband is a veteran he served in the Army and Marines ❤❤❤❤
Well hell. I just cried. I’m going to miss our elders!!!!!!
Thank you for honoring the real American men who answered the call to defend this land.
Beautiful song! Thank you to all who served then and up to today! Freedom has never been free!
Great song. Proud daughter of a Navy veteran and from a family of many veterans. My father-in-law was also a Navy veteran and my husband’s family has many veterans. Thank you for honoring our veterans and our country.
Thank you
I love this man. A true PATRIOT. He has the best song ever Earth to God. A truly beautiful voice. Thank you John!!!!
This is beautiful 💯🇺🇲❤️
