- Medal Of Honor Recipient Master Sergeant Roy P. Benavidez shares the true meaning of our flag. I filmed this in the early 1990's when Roy came to our unit in Cleveland, Ohio (Desert Storm was getting underway) to speak at the Soldier of the Year awards. PLEASE SHARE (DO NOT DUPLICATE) THIS VIDEO, AND KEEP OUR TRUE PATRIOTIC AMERICA ALIVE! NOTE: COMMENTS THAT ARE ANTI-AMERICAN/HATE ORIENTED/RACIST ETC WILL BE REMOVED.
"Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it, it flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it."
Such a shame. War isn’t the answer. Clapping and given praise for fighting for elites. What’s really brave is finding ways to co exist as humans without killing, stealing & looting for resources. Advance and civil as we think we are, we are the most vicious animals ever to walk the earth. No other animal has figured out how to kill millions like us. Imagine if we took all the money and science we wasted on war and used it to better all humans on earth 🤯
I wonder what percentage of the land those who died owned. Suckers!
kenneth Schroeder Amen my fiancé is in Iraq serving our country and yes it is all past and present soldiers and those we lost that keep our freedom for us to enjoy and it is not a right but a privileged we are given
Kuilani Rasmussen amen
O Lord spare me from these people
I to am a Benavidez and Roy is my cousin. I thank God for him as he is one of the greatest Human beings on this earth. Every time he speaks he reminds me of my Grandpa. Same voice and mannerisms. I pay my respects to all servicemen of the United States for without you we wouldn't be the Great Country that we are. God Bless you all.
I'm sure you are very proud. I wish I could have met him. I too am a veteran of the Gulf War era. G-D bless you and your entire family.
thank you for posting
They dont make them like your cousin anymore. America needs more people like that.

Oh they do and we have them. The media just won’t tell you.
you should take a survey of all the people who might care nene...
There is nothing more inspiring than an honorable American Patriot. Rest in peace and God Bless you Master Sergeant Benavidez.
Amen to that sir when I heard President Reagan describe what he went through in earning the Medal of Honor, I had 2 thoughts immediately, not sure which came first, but they were 1) how the hell is he alive an absolutely superhuman effort physically and unbelievable bravery 2)how and why did it takes this long for that man to receive this award, what a terrible injustice. His commanders in Nam should be court martialled for dereliction of duty. If ever I heard of someones action deserving the MOH it was this man. RIP MST SGT

Thank you for your thoughts Randy.
Nothing is greater than someone who puts their life on the line for someone else.
God Bless,

@@michaelferland6611 MSGT BENAVIDEZ was so patriotic and there was no resentment in him for the waiting to receive MOH , his love of country and the Army was something to stand-up and take notice of, it was us, I know me that was angry about him not being awarded the honor for so long. He was humble and proud. I love his comment that there wasn't enough gold in Fort Knox or enough paper to print the money to keep him from doing it all again. If you had to go in to combat, man you know you want this man with you. There is a video on you tube where a Jr. Congresswoman was given the floor to speak and she had been to Arlington National Cementary where they were burying a Fallen Marine from her District in Ohio I believe. She was conveying a message to another person in the Congress about pulling the troops out in Iraq given to her by the father of the fallen Marine he told her to tell Congress this, "Stay the course, cowards cut and run, Marines never do". I would be honored to shake that mans hand. I told that story, to say that this is why if you were going into combat you would want MSGT BENAVIDEZ at your side, because when the metal starts flying, he would be there. You could count on that, in battle it's your buddies that a soldier doesn't want to let down, at that moment it's not so much your country or family, I mean it is, but it's your buddies that you fight to keep alive as much as yourself, sometimes more, look at the MSGT...
This man's word stays true today and into the future. He is truly a legion and inspiration to me. God Bless 🇺🇲
I'm 61, and took my oath too, never saw combat, but this man bought tears to my eyes. I followed in his footsteps, but I will never be able to fill his shoes. That people, is what a true American hero looks like.
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸 God bless
Yes tanks i am portuguese i like
Blindly killing innocent on behalf of the politicians doesn't sounds no responsibilities of wrong doing.
Thank you for serving i am glad you didn't have to prove to be a hero thank god you done your time and got out. I believe that you are still a hero in my book you serviced that more what i can about most out there that only what to criticize this country.
@@karma4990 You do understand that many of these men, who were 18 at the time, were drafted and did not join of their own free will right? Once these men were deployed, it became a kill or be killed situation. What would you have done had you been there? There was no laying down arms and coming to a peaceful resolution for them. For many, I still haunts them to this day.
Americans at home, stood up and said This Isn't Right and We Should Not Be There. It was a terrible tragedy to those of Vietnam and to US soldiers. Our government is who needed to be held accountable, not these men.
I am a white person from Chicago and have the most respect for this man and our brothers and sisters to the South. Most Hispanic people I know are some of the hardest working people I have met. We need all the Roy Benavidez's we can get. Thankyou sir for fighting for our freedom.
The colour of your skin is irrelevant you can respect this man no matter what race or creed
MSGT Benavidez rightly wears more distinguished awards then a Christmas tree. It would be wise to listen this eternal American hero IMHO.
I am 87 yo, born in an Az mining town barrio with a background . I identify as Mexican-American and count Roy as one of many Latino heroes and patriots. He is has passed on into American history and it would make us proud to have a high quality movie made of this American heroe. It is sad that one has not been made yet. Kids today need to know American history and Latinos contributions in making America great.
How in the world has there never been a movie made about this hero. He’s the closest thing to a real super hero we’ve had.
An American Soldier and Hero. Proud to be a Brother Sir. GOD Bess you.
Ya know what he would say? Call me Master Sergeant, not sir. But awesome point
son of a mexican farmer and a native american and that is what the united states stands for a 1000% american .
America stands for GOD not race makes our country GREAT without GOD we be divided but it is GREAT to different and not fall by politics neege

Very appropriate for today’s America. People forget what this country is all about. And, those who sacrificed their lives to gave us the chance to live free!!! Hats off to the heroes of America!!! RIP, Sir.
That's a load of bull shit we lost the Vietnam war what freedom did we lose dumbbell we are getting drop kicked out of the middle east what freedom did we lose
He came and spoke at my high school in the 80's ! Bravo !
It's because of men Like Master Sgt. Benavidez that we continue to enjoy our freedoms today. God bless brother.
HE WAS ONLY 63! THEY DON'T MAKE EM LIKE THAT ANYMORE!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE SIR!!! MAN WHAT A SPEACH!!! GOD REST YOUR PRECIOUS SOUL!!! AMERICANS TODAY ARE CLUELESS!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
I had a comment from a so called veteran. He stated that I was not educated. He is right, I’m not that educated. I am thankful that my Lord and Savior has never forsaken me. I retired from the military and I also retired from a major corporation. Retired early in life. Sent my daughter to college and she became a nurse practitioner. If it was not for Jesus Christ, this would not be possible. I worked hard all my life from a very young age. Education does not always make one successful. Once again thank you Veterans for your service and all those that support our military.
My Dad, brother and Uncle were all in the Nam. I am so thankful to Yeshua Messiah my blessed savior for bringing them home.
God bless you soldier, you served so that I would never have to, may God bless you and your family.
@@jamc9459 Thank you my Friend, and God bless you and your family.

@@jamc9459 praise God most high, Amen brother in Christ!
@Swan of Tuonela First, I thank you for your service my Brother in arms. I to was not religious for many years. But when God spoke through scripture Jeremiah 29:11-14 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the LORD.
I saw that God never forsaken me even in Sin. Throughout my life he saved me from two deaths. 1st physical death 2nd spiritual death internally. I surely would of went to hell. That moment I saw myself as God was looking at me through the mirror. I fell on the floor and repented. See, Jesus payed a price on the cross. Death, burial and resurrection. The remission of the worlds sins. Praise God most high! My brother I do thank you for your response and may God bless you for your kind words! I will pray for you that you too will be saved by our Savior Jesus Christ. In the Middle East God was watching over you. No luck my friend. God loves you and now is speaking to your heart.
Roy Benavidez was the real RAMBO!
Wow that is something they should teach in all public schools God speed sir
I agree, the problem is that our Public Schools. Along with our Colleges. Have become nothing more then Institutes of Indoctrination. As a Veteran myself who did my time in West Germany. Before the Collapse of the Soviet Union. It Burns me up inside. As I ask these young people. Do they even know who was Hitler? A look if Duuuu comes across them. When I see them with Che Guevara Shirts on. Once again, do you know? Ah No but he's Cool. A huh Ahuh. Jzee the Rap Singer likes him. And Che hated Blacks. A Majority of these kids are lost, but not all. Those are the Ones I will always make time for.
Follow your Heart Robert Hall. All we Veterans ask? Do not Forget Us. Because we never forgot none of you. The day we Swore our Oath? Is the Day you became our Mission .Our Families and the Nation.
They used to..
They are doing the opposite and we need to stand up and stop it!
Thank you for your service, Thank for the video. May God Bless these special people of America!!!
Duty...honor... And country...is the motto all Americans should live by!!
America never won Vietnam war ,not because we were not defeated ... but because we were never allowed to win the war. Thank you for your service, Sir.
This dude is an American Bada$$. Wish he was still around to tell all the Liberals what it means to love your country!!
God bless the United States of America! And all our veterans!!!
@UR Just Wrong , do you have responsibility in anything.
Or is it all someone else's fault?
I'm proud to claim this magnificent man as a fellow American.
Amen!
Here was a man whose name should be a known to every American. Why isn't it? Like Audie Murphy, whose feats of valor were exemplary, Sergeant Benavidez certainly belongs in his company. Why we have men like him, and others who are disrespectful of our flag and ungrateful of this land of the free is outrageous. Why are there so many citizens who protest, criticize, moan and groan about perceived injustice, but take advantage of all those little goodies that come with being an American citizen. Where are all those celebrities who promised to leave if Trump became President. If they had so little loyalty to America, WHY ARE THEY STILL HERE?!! We don't need people who are just interested in what our country offers, but not in what they can contribute.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
The people who disrespect the flag are those who use their position within the government and within the police force to abuse their power and innocent victims. They are the traitors and the enemy to all Americans. They need to be rooted out and killed. Until that day, there will be no honor in the United States.
sirhymer Those same people you accuse of being disloyal to America are the same ones criticising and taking on a president who has more loyalty to Russia, criticizes Gold Star families and bad mouths POWs like John McCain.
sirhymer
Because war has become a racket, a money making scheme for the war profiteers. The big myth is that we fight for freedom. Soldiers die so someone can make a buck, it’s the American way! For example, sever economic sanctions were placed on Japan to notice an attack that would start a war. When you look beyond the media hype, there is always intent to start a war!
sirhymer as President Kennedy so elegantly stated in his innaguration speech, "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country. "
sirhymer There is not enough honor we can pay for this Great Man and Soldier. A movie would be nice, but still not enough.
On 2 May 1968, 12 Green Berets were surrounded near Loc Ninh, South Vietnam, by an entire battalion of NVA. They were thus outnumbered, 12 men versus about 1,000. They dug in and tried to hold them off, but were not going to last long. Sergeant Roy P. Benavidez heard their distress call over a radio in town and boarded a rescue helicopter with first aid equipment. He did not have time to grab a weapon before the helicopter left, so he voluntarily jumped into the hot LZ armed only with his knife.
He sprinted across 75 meters of open terrain through withering small arms and machine gun fire to reach the pinned down MACV-SOG team. By the time he reached them, he had been shot 4 times, twice in the right leg, once through both cheeks, which knocked out four molars, and a glancing shot off his head.
He ignored these wounds and began administering first aid. The rescue chopper left as it was not designed to extract men. An extraction chopper was sent for, and Benavidez took command of the men by directing their fire around the edges of the clearing in order to facilitate the choppers landing. When the aircraft arrived, he supervised the loading of the wounded on board, while throwing smoke canisters to direct the choppers exact landing. He was wounded severely and at all times under heavy enemy crossfire, but still carried and dragged half of the wounded men to the chopper.
He then ran alongside the landing skids providing protective fire into the trees as the chopper moved across the LZ collecting the wounded. The enemy fire got worse, and Benavidez was hit solidly in the left shoulder. He got back up and ran to the platoon leader, dead in the open, and retrieved classified documents. He was shot in the abdomen, and a grenade detonated nearby peppering his back with shrapnel.
The chopper pilot was mortally wounded then, and his chopper crashed. Benavidez was in extremely critical condition, and still refused to fall. He ran to the wreckage and got the wounded out of the aircraft, and arranged them into a defensive perimeter to wait for the next chopper. The enemy automatic rifle fire and grenades only intensified, and Benavidez ran and crawled around the perimeter giving out water and ammunition.
The NVA was building up to wipe them out, and Benavidez called in tactical air strikes with a squawk box and threw smoke to direct the fire of arriving gunships. Just before the extraction chopper landed, he was shot again in the left thigh while giving first aid to a wounded man. He still managed to get to his feet and carry some of the men to the chopped, directing the others, when an NVA soldier rushed from the woods and clubbed him over the head with an AK-47. This caused a skull fracture and a deep gash to his left upper arm, and yet he still got back up and decapitated the soldier with one swing of his knife, severing the spine and all tissue on one side of the neck. He then resumed carrying the wounded to the chopper and returning for others, and was shot twice more in the lower back. He shot two more NVA soldiers trying to board the chopper, then made one last trip around the LZ to be sure all documents were retrieved, and finally boarded the chopper. He had lost 2 quarts of blood. Before he blacked out, he shouted to one of the other Green Berets, Another great day to be in South Vietnam!
Suffering from 37 bayonet, bullet, and shrapnel wounds in various parts of his body, Benavidez used the last of his strength to pull himself on board the helicopter, the last man to leave the battlefield. The helicopter was completely riddled with holes, covered in blood, and without any functioning instruments, but the pilot somehow took off and got the team out of there. Benavidez lost consciousness as soon as he knew they were clear.
Sergeant Roy P. Benavidez of the 1st Special Forces was credited with single-handedly saving the lives of eight men during six hours of non-stop battle. When a recovery team went through the site a few days later they discovered over 30 empty NVA foxholes with heavy weapons, and saw the battlefield littered with more dead than they had time to count.
After the rescue helicopters landed at the base, Roy Benavidez's motionless body was carried off the helicopter, and after a preliminary inspection by the medical personnel on-site, the hero was gently laid onto a gurney and wheeled into the coroner's office.
Just as they were zipping up his body bag, Benavidez used the last of his energy to spit in the doctor's face.
The mostly-dead Benavidez was rushed into surgery immediately, then transferred to Saigon for many months of intensive rehabilitation. He received the Distinguished Service Cross for his heroic balls-out actions, and once the full details of the battle came declassified the award was upgraded to the Medal of Honor, the highest award for military bravery offered by the United States military. He lived to be 63.
Thanks for that John, hopefully the trolls will at least read this and learn a little respect.
Why did it take so long for me to learn the story of this great American hero? No feature film about his life? Every American should know the name of Master Sergeant Roy P. Benavidez. His heroism should be an example for EVERY American to live up to. Thank you Master Sergeant Roy P. Benavidez. A real life super hero. I'll never forget you.
Because he's Mexican ….Hollywood doesn't want to promote such heroes. They want to promote fake heroes such as Batman, Superman, and Etc.
@Free Thinker You make good point but life is not that simple.
@Free Thinker Please explain your thinking when you added "maybe"? I'd like to hear more about your opinion.
I’m speechless. A great American. But also to the flag for which it stands. I’m a vet and a military brat and remember the playing of taps every day at 5pm. During taps playing on the speakers seeing people stop what they were doing, stand at attention salute if in uniform or hand over the heart facing the parade ground. Cars would stop, and pull over, people would get out of their cars standing at attention beside them. It was a remarkable sight to see and be part of. It made you proud to be an American.
Wow! This man is truly a great American hero. I was in tears during his entire speech. His greatness cannot be duplicated because he is one of a kind--the best kind of American you will ever be able to find. I love him dearly.
"We never won that war because we where never allowed to win"..
Deep,huge history buff and always wanted his insight into that..
Shows he felt abandoned by whomever let him down in the way he wanted to do it...
Please read about this man’s efforts in Vietnam. He was willing to sacrifice it all to save any man next to him, and very nearly did. Was pronounced dead only to survive. Was told he’d never walk again only to run. Told he could never serve again only to go back and repeat his efforts. There are no great men...only great challenges. And he made it through challenges that few can survive.
This guy GETS it. All my love and respect to the real PATRIOT'S 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
By "patriot" u must be referring to KKKolonialism
Rest in peace, Master Sergeant Raul Perez "Roy" Benavidez, November 29, 1998.
Read the Wiki of this man and you won't believe it.
Wait he died? 😔😔Another hero gone
Thank you so much for your service to our great country! Love, honor, and the utmost respect for you sir!
One tough man! Wounded over 38 times, put into a body bag and lived to tell about it.
Roy Benavidez was a true hero and role model for all soldiers and Americans, thank you for your bravery and gallantry Roy, You are remembered in our hearts.
For those of u who are wondering, Google this mans name. He was like the damn doom slayer to the Vietnamese. Great American man and hero
True. 7 Hours in Hell. Simple History has a good vid about this madlad.
@Jamie Wonder how the South was overrun so quickly once the Americans Left
@Jamie Oh yea, because they did fuck all to defend themselves
@Jamie The South Koreans did a hell of a lot better
@Jamie I never said the Americans won. Also Im not American or Vietnamese. The US were pulled out of Vietnam since their tactics were not working and the Australians did barely anything compared to the US. You were saying the South and the Aussies were doing well.
If only we had a few more like this great Patriot.
Amazing! 🇺🇸 No comments can top what this man said! As an Army veteran, I can say I would have proudly served with him!
Thank you for your service Mr. Benavidez. True American Hero.
America! Greatest country on earth. I came from nothing. Poorer than poor. Worked my butt off. Over yrs its paid off. Im brown and from the barrio. Now i live in the country on a ranch. Drive nice cars. 8 kids and NEVER been on any government aid. No one gave nothing to me. An no one can take it away.
Amen!!

Probably because its more relevant today

Exactly.
I’ve just heard Master Seargent Roy Benavidez story. What an incredible life, an inspirational man, and a role model. RIP sir.
A true American Hero, Patriot and Leader. Fort Hood Texas should be renamed 'Fort Benavidez'.
U just said it cause you heard it on the news. You probably never knew who he was
XXdi4vloxx 00000 the guy is a Vietnam war hero I literally learned about him in school
John Bell Hood was a reasonably good general and by no accounts a cruel or unlawful one. They named Fort Hood after him because it was 1942 and they were naming all kinds of crap all the time, and he commanded the Texas Brigade in the Civil War, and the new training base was in Texas, so... Fort Hood it was. It wouldn't be fair to kick his name off the gate. They should be naming all kinds of new stuff after Roy, to be honest.
@@XXdivloxx I don't believe any post should have to be re-named, but with the history of Hood..... MSG Benavidez would be a great replacement. A joke of course, Hood does have issues, but shouldn't be re-named.
Thank you for filming and sharing this speech by an amazing man and in the era of some many faux heroes, an example of a true hero. I find his words as relevant today, if not even more so, as when he spoke them in 1991.
Joe Behan thanks couldn't have said it better myself hoo raa

Not sure how to keep a dry eye when listening to this speech. Absolute Hero.
Hispanics have done a lot for this country. One day I hope to serve it as well.
Hopefully it wont be under practicing fascist control, when you do. And what Hispanics have done for this country is not appreciated it's always forgotten, you're used to mop up bad decisions like a ViVa paper towel, then wadded up and tossed in the basura. Believing that by serving a country to obtain some shade of importance does nothing but demonstrate a high level of disillusionment on your part. One of my sons is in BT right now as a combat medic, another has 2 years and wants to go in after his brother as a MP, because he was convinced that it would help him obtain a position with the FBI. Recruiters are the masters of disillusionment.

@@BassGoThump that's where you're wrong, their overbearing Mexican tiger father, who is constantly insulting, always telling them they are not good enough, helicopter father they were living with is who they ran and are running from. He refuses to cook a decent meal for them and for the last 7 years that he has had them has not done so. I lost them in court because I pulled them out of school to protect them and put them into online public schooling- which now is okey and the norm for Covid/ which he didn't agree with doing to protect them from flu A (we never lived together, they were just his anchor babies, but he is obsessed with being in control and abusing women and his offspring, when I stood up to him, he blew his top, I went to collect them from a "visit" finding out that he went behind my back and enrolled them in the tiny school where he was living in Drain Oregon, upon collecting our boys, I reminded him that he wasn't their legal guardian nor even a legal resident, so he flashed his money in court) in 2013 due to the flu A that there were no current vaccines to give the kids because CDC said hadn't been seen for 11 years, he fought me with $10k from all his cocaine sales in Springfield Oregon, but hey money talks in a court of law, and the parent with the most money wins not the better & drug free parent. He lives rent free, and has his whole life, cell phones free, electric free, internet free, garbage free. Their 7 other siblings are very well taken care of by me I am a wonderful mother.

Honesty clearly hurts those with small packages upstairs or down below. You're likely a Trump supporter, haven't met an intelligent one yet. You really dont need to insult a woman because her opinions dont align with yours. Maybe your problem is that you can't come to terms with the fact your country isn't all that great and your sitting president sleeps with the enemies, and if it isn't him knocking the bedknobs then it's his escort doing the dirty work, oops I meant "wife".
Thanks to veterans and all serving to fight for our freedom. Stand tall. Stand proud. God bless.
He is among the best of many warriors America has ever produced! RIP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
We served with Pride and Dignity for Freedom, Life and Liberty!
Proud to serve U.S. Army 21 years 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your service
The Flag the Stand the Reason, The Man ( By Steven F. Gooden )
No trifle stripe doest grace this Cloth
Each Band, each strand by blood, no froth
Whilst noblest battles do rage and grow
We stay the course for this we know
No cost for cause tis too much too pay
When freedom cries this too we pray
That men will rise, risk life & Limb
For, Family, Country but most for HIM
It's He who formed us by His Design
So for His Purpose keep this in Mind
All men, no matter how poor or rich
Great or not were equally stitched
Made in His Image, both mind and Soul
To perform His will for the good of the Whole
Kneel not for tyranny, in hate or Jest
Stand up rather, for 2 feet are best
Stand up give Thanks for those who cant
Those who've died to give voice to rant
Ever thankful for your rights by blood
Thus Use it wisely for this they stood
They stood and fell that we might rise
Tis Now our turn, our fight to realize
Freedom's cost tis always born in strife
It's price is life and Sacrifice
Remember and pause for all those before
They were first with less, did more
This Flag we salute, this idea we cling
It's for this idea we stand and sing
For No trifle stripe doest grace this Cloth
Each Band, each strand from blood, not froth
Whilst noblest battles do rage and grow
We stay the course for this we know
No cost for cause tis too much too pay
We answer freedom's cry and say
We all will rise, and risk life & Limb
For our Family, our Country but most of all for HIM
but most FOR HIM!
- Steven F. Gooden
Thank you for my freedom, Sir!

WNT like a morning star, shining in the east
leading us out of the dark.
WNT like a river bend, stayin on our course
til we reach our end, of the road that we're
travel'n on for narrow is the way and when
it's broad we're gone.
WNT and Texas needs a Hand
Like a sheep in the wilderness,
waiting for our Shephard in our
eagerness. To be saved fromthe lion and the bear
Texas, tell me are you still standing there.
Do you care, your country's fallin apart
No one's left standin who has the nations' heart
WNT and Texas is where we start
Who cares that we've lost our way, have we all
forgotten when we all were free to say.
No More Taxes
No Slavery
No children working day and night in Factories
No more Women who had no voice or vote
No brother fighting brother no more civil war
No more No more No more
We need Texas
We Need Texas
We Need Texas
We Need Texas
We Need Texas
We Need Texas
And Texas needs a Hand
WNT like the oil in her boot
Black Gold, some call it
Oh aint that a Hoot
WNT like a saddle needs a horse
Like the Flag with her stripes
from the blood of our wars
WNT on a summer day
Hot as hell in Plano
Or Cold in Monterey
WNT and Texas needs a Hand
God if you're listening we need you more
Than we ever did before, We're crying
from our ranch on the prarrie, from the city
to the dessert floor
Lord hear your people cry
We Need you by our side
WNT and Texas needs a hand
Pour down your rain we need a drenching here
Of your love and your Mercy, cuz we're drowning
in fear. Our country's is in real trouble, please!
Jesus we're praying down on our needs.
Remind us of how it use to be, Yes Sir! No Ma'am!
is how we oughta speak. Where Mama is a Lady
and Poppa is a Man, and before you make her yours
you ask her Daddy for her hand.
WNT
So fire across the bow of a nation gone astray
Texas we can't hear you, sh
Hoorah
Man i almost cried, had to look around make sure nobody saw me,I'm proud to be an American god gave that right to me
Far better Man than me! A true Hero and American Legend! RIP Mr. Benavidez. 🙏🇺🇸
As a retired SGM I am proud to have served this country I love. MSG, thank you for standing in the breech for all of us freedom loving Americans.
One of the most bad ass soldiers of all time !!!!!
Fiore Tutta There's no denying that one.
Without the Flag we have nothing to symbolize our constitution. It is a visual representation that our constitutional rights are upheld and intact. MSG Benavidez is listed number 5 on the Bada$$ list of all time, I say he should get the number one spot. But I have no say so in these matters, and I don't think the MSG. would give too much thought about it if he were with us still. Thank you MSG. Roy Benavidez, Thank you for your service, thank you for your sacrifice. Thank you all , all service men, and women, for your service, and your sacrifices. May the Almighty Creator of all things keep you and yours safe, and free from harm.
Only America can produce warriors of this caliber. RIP brother. Airborne All The Way.
Jeff Coder, Nam Vet, 1970 - 71.
Im not sure about that but he was an amazing man.
What a hero. Rest in Peace Roy Benavidez.
It’s not a holiday but pretty often I just get a feeling in my heart to hear Hero Benavidez poem. Never knew this man but forever in my heart. God Blees all you Hero’s of war who fought to keep me free. Thank you much love
Look at his years of service ? amazing soldier, I salute you ! God Bless America and thier forces !
God bless America. And all Americans who see what is happening to the country we love.
The words of a humble man who did the impossible for no reason but to protect the man next to him. Your service to this country will never be forgotten and your name will always be in my mind when I hear the word hero.
Here is a REAL AMERICAN HERO. It's men like this school students should read about.
This man is or excuse me, he has passed since the video. But he is awesome. RIP SIR,GOD BLESS
I think we should replace a couple so called holidays with a day honoring this man. Truly great man. Respect sir.
💞HOW BEAUTIFUL🙏 TY FOR YOUR SERVICE MAY GOD HELP OUR COUNTRY AND FOR WHICH IT STANDS FOR AMEN
From Latinos > Native American > Asian> Afro Americans > and White's > WE ALL are are American and Love this country. AMEN so help us God. >>>> ALL LIVES MATTER
Yes we love this country. But the only way people can justify the fact that we still have the Indians on reservations while living on their land is the idea that God bequeathed this land to the Europeans and their ancestors.
Now we have come to a point where their descendants, will be just another minority.
Dude....they will not let us have this land. They will destroy DEMOCRACY if they lose the majority.
THAT'S where we are right now.
We love this country, Yes, but they will never let us have it, even if by "vote".😭😭
@@davidcantu3102 ok DUDE.... I so love my Native brothers and sisters and wish for them to do the "Ghost Dance" again. On my last sweat with the Paiute I said to open more casinos as the other "nations" tribes are raking in the cash and they would be more than well off for the people. The elder /shaman set me aside and said "money is the root of all evil, Tanka (great spirit) will lead us back to the promise land."
@@lionlight777
Lol...yall deserve everything that's coming.
Reap it
@@davidcantu3102 thats messed up
@@davidcantu3102 You are a bitter man with lots of hate.. Wow
It’s no holiday & I try & watch this often, but today I just felt like hearing him recite the poem. I love this man who fought for & I love all you vets who fought for me. There could never be enough thanks to let y’all know how much I love & appreciate you all. Thank you for preserving my freedom, !
Think you sir, you are our countries best.
One tough son-of-a-gun, a patriot to the bone marrow. A heroes hero... just an old Mexican boy from Cuero, TX. Yeah right ..... ( Home of the Gobblers, got a good high school football team every year, hey its Texas)
