- A personal tribute to those in the British military who have fallen victim to the troubles in Iraq & Afganistan.It's for the families,friends and relatives as a lasting memorial. Most of them very young.If you recognise anyone or are a relative, please leave a comment.It is not, in any way, a political statement so please don't leave comments which may reflect this. Thanks. Certain comments have been removed due to them becoming too personal and offensive to most.
Thank you all for your comments. This was my first You Tube video it was inspired by mausergirl's Please Remember Me about US soldiers. I looked for a British tribute but, at that time, none struck me - music wise?
This music tell's their story of life, family, fun and ultimately mourns their loss..The memory is all theirs loved ones have left to cherish, A lifepath has gone, never to be retraced - each one of their life paths is unique to each of them...and us.
I live in New Jersey and remember on 9/11 my father (US Navy Capt ret.) told me there would now be war. I remember in all the confusion wondering who was attacking us, and whether this was the beginning of WW3. I asked him if anyone would even help us - his answer: the Brits are still tough, they will stand by us. 10 years later - it isn't the war I'd imagined; and it has been a controversial road plagued by mistakes.. but he was right, for better or for worse the British stood by us. Thank you
R.I.P My Brothers and Sisters...U.S.Navy here
When you go Home
Tell them of Us
For your today
We Gave our tomorrow

I have so many loved ones out there who share the same pain, pride and victory of an unending link we will always share So many .Thank you all. our and memories are linked forever.UK and USA and the commonwealth countries who have helped God Bless you all.
Just turned 60 and haven't cried for many years. Untill now.

"WE WILL REMEMBER THEM"
From a Canadian Veteran to my British comerades in arms, God Bless you all serving your country, I will remember you along with my fallen comerades as I always do and with a heavy heart remember my buddies who were the salt of the earth, who served and gave of themselves selflessly.
God save the British
To all who have fallen in battle, we salute you...
-An American Youth
I served alongside a few British soldiers in my stint in Iraq with the 101st Airborne. Fantastic soldiers and real high speed. Respect and condolences.
For what it's worth, I send you this message from Indiana, USA. My deepest sympathies go to the families, friends, and brothern who have to endure such great lost. I am with you in spirit and you will all be in my hearts and prayers. Stay strong and God Bless each and everyone of you.
The fallen heroes!!!
RIP
I have an American father and a Canadian mother. My father was a gunner on a B17, and all of my male relatives on my mother's side of my family fought for Canada. They have nothing but praise for their British comerades in arms. I married an American airman, and now our son is serving in the U.S. Air Force. Thank you for making this video. The British are the bravest fighters in the world, and I join hands with you across the sea to pay tribute to your fallen heroes.
I American, and I cried over this video. When people die, they're remembered and live on in our hearts forever.
words cant describe the gratitude and respect i have for these heroes.
God bless our British allies. We will be there for you always. From a Kentucky Irishman.
Just found this video so I put a few words together.
REMEMBER THEM
Some were young, Some were older,
Some were sons,Some were daughters,
Some were fathers,Some were mothers,
Some were brothers ,Some were sisters,
Some were friends, Some were relatives,
Some we just knew, Some were from this country ,
Some from another place.
All had ambitions to live as best they could,
All realised the cost before they went,
All were strong and filled the gap,
All stood for what they believed in,
EVERY ONE OF THEM GAVE THEIR ALL.
All are hero’s REMEMBER THEM.
all families who have lost their ones to this horrid war will be in my prayers
And unmeasurably proud that our British Brothers have stood by us through so many years..... We cannot thank you enough..
As a yank Thank you for standing beside the U.S
I cannot begin to know the grief that you feel at the loss of your loved ones!!!
Please know that you are in my prayers and thoughts all that I know to do is to cry with you! God Bless you all
I am from the U.S. I am currently deciding on what to join, the Army or Marines, I am almost 17, my time is coming to do something great for my nation. OORAH from myself and the American Soldiers! We will win this war sooner or later, taking out the Terrorists 1 round at a time! much love to the British military!
from an American Patriot and a Veteran of Iraq....Thank you our British brothers-in-arms, may you come home safe and thank you for your sacrifice....
my heart goes out to their mothers
May their souls rest in peace and may God bring comfort and courage to the one's that are still peushing on. I'm from South Africa, I know how it feels to lose someone in your life, especially dying whilst doing the right thing for the rest of us. Let us remember all our fallen heroes.
Love you my Brother's and Sister's. The bond never will be broken even when 1 travels across. You will never be forgotten. Rest now and thank you. Sincerely EAGLE 🌹
I,m a soldier and Gulf War veteran I can sum up my feelings and for my brothers who gave their lives.
We volunteer to give our lives in the name of freedom and to protect those who cannot protect themselves. We ask nothing of our country or the world but to be loved as every man and to be respected as your fellow brother. We ask not for war but for peace!
we are looking at dead men and women its like looking at ghosts the people you see before you gave up everything joined up and became KIAs of war so sad I will never forget!
God Bless Our British Cousins! Your loss is our loss, and America is proud to have stood beside you so many times over the years.
Best Army in the world
For all the young soldiers who have given all - blessings from the US - I am a mother of a soldier ..served in Iraq - and he was forturnate to come home whole...my heart goes out to those who could not .
Rest in Peace and God bless you all.
Churchill's quote from 1940 is as appropriate today for these wonderful warriors - "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." As a US citizen, I so appreciate their ultimate sacrifice. Such a tiny percentage of the Free World's population doing 100% of the fighting to protect OUR way of life....it just doesn't seem right. Thank you and God Bless you all and all your families!
Thank you for posting this. Rest easy all that have died in this senseless war. You have made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom all over the. Rest easy all creed, colors, races, and country. You have all done what has been asked of you. No questions asked. God Bless all the men and women from all the world in uniform.
staff Sgt 501 airborne all i have to say is never forget these men
Canadian Soldier here. A Salute to British men and women who are serving, have served and have paid that ultimate price. My heart goes out to those families who have lost a loved one in their life.

This is still one of the nicest tributes to our hero's on youtube, can't believe it's, nearly a year since we lost my nephew in Iraq, the pain we feel in our hearts never leaves us, wars bring such a sad waste of young lives, at least with tributes like this we know they will never be forgotten.
I tip my hat to you for putting this together. I couldn't watch it without filling up. What a moving tribute and how nice to read the best wishes of those in other countries. Deep peace to the departed. Love, support and respect for those they've left behind. We will remember them.
Great song. One of my favorites.
Trained with Royal Marines, Royal Irish Regiment, Dragoons, British Army, etc., in the 90's. Great times, very professional and proficient.
USMC '94-'99.
Heroes never die!
Great tribute
God bless them all, amazing to think in this day and age we still have people that put the country first !!! thanks to you all of you and come home safe!
It's good to hear your pride for our country at such a young age. Many have none?!Thank You.
my dad is dead because of the war. but I'm not sad. once he had tog die. and in that way so brave since I was little he said. if I ever die I want to be a strong good HANDSOME Legerman remembered. Daddy was successful
RESPECT for all the fallen soldiers....few months ago my best friend died in afghanistan,he was one of the romanian troops deployed in afghanistan,he died trying to save his fellow soldiers from an ied'd humvee when he was shot.
Rest In Peace!!!
This Video is so sad yet so beautiful. Job well Done. My heart and prayers go out to each one of the families that are in your video and to the ones that are not in the video but gave their lives for their country.
I want to thank them all and would love to shake the hands of each family and thank them.
it wasn't even Great Britain's war. They were only over there because the United States were over there. Me as a American Im sorry for your lost. RIP
Very fine young people who have given all. We should be fortunate to have known them.
Heroes forever. All those in unform fighting for peace will always be in our hearts. God bless them all. Thank you for your bravery, for your honor and commitment.
I bless this man with all my heart let him to be welcomed to the house of god. I'm am truly sorry to this family.
true heroes. may they rest in peace and never be forgotten
What a wonderful tribute to some of Britan's fallen heroes. It brings a tear to my eye. May God Bless them and their brothers and sisers in arms who continue to serve.
its always hard to think of how loved ones feel when we are out there, but now i understand, its harder for them then it is for us. may all rest in peace.
I was cried while watching this tribute, touching and everlasting in my thoughts of the fallen "Heroes".. Thankyou
I cannot but cry at your tribute.These great young men and women are deserving of our highest praise and we must honour them.R.I.P.
God bless their loved ones.
"Plus ca change,plus c'est la meme chose".Words from yesteryear,translated as "the more it changes,the more it remains the same".So many,over the years,names,faces,places,in yellowed and faded photos melding with these young people who all seem so familiar it's uncanny.
That's the trouble with being old and outliving everyone who was anyone in one's life,and specially if one is fool enough to browse the vids on youtube for want of anything better to occupy what passes for a mind.The past bites,but hard!
A deep sleep to them all.
An old soldier.
What a beautiful song and such a fitting tribute to the fallen heroes ....god bless them all....thank you for sharing xx[♥]
Wonderful tribute to our brothers in freedom that have stepped forward in fighting a bloody evil force from the 14th century.
May these warriors rest in peace.
I am so sorry for your loss. Words can not express. Thank you. I will pray for you and your loved ones every day for the rest of my life. Peace, love and thank you. God Bless us all.
rest in peace brothers
thanks for always being there and having our back
From USA
Thank the Lord that we have still have brave, wonderful people like this who care about their fellow man. Great tribute!
Salute from the USA.... You will NEVER been forgotten! Thank you for your sacrifice and one day, my brothers-in-arms, I will see you on the high ground.
A very touching tribute to our Brave Fallen. God Bless
May God bless them all
from Australia
My pop was a Artillery Soldier for the British Army in WW2 he died of an heart attack because his friends died right by his side. For those who are fighting and that have fallen I give so much respect to those who suffered and are there for our allies and willing to fight for others. Next year I'm joining the army to hopefully fight with you great people. God Bless from Australia.
great video, it is 4 weeks ago that the war on terror took my fiancee away from me, He was a great guy, amazing soldier, and kick ass pilot. I am ashamed to read all the idiotic comments that i recieve regarding how my man died, idiots saying they have vids of him being ,....well it doesnt matter , but it needs to stop!!..
These vids are for respectful comments , and rememberance,.
Thank you for posting this video,..
Semper fi....
This video is ESSENTIAL viewing, because it reminds us that dead servicemen and women are not just statistics, or headlines in newspapers, machines in uniform; but ordinary people with real lives. They are loved and mourned by those who pay the price for their sacrifice in tears and heartache that never goes away; their parents, their siblings, their wives, girlfriends, children, and friends...
We will never forget you. Thank you for your sacrifice. I know God will hold you close to his heart forever. My prayers are with all of you.
I just want to add Lcpl Jonathan Hetherington as his picture was not shown here. He died on the 28th August 2006. We will remember them xxxxxx
my heart goes out to all the boys and girls out there doing such an amazing job your are my role models none of this celeb crap if i could be half the person you are i would be happy RIP hope no more come home in boxes you deserve much much more
Thanks for doing this. It's a very nice tribute to the sacrifices of the fallen--and those of your country as a whole. I'm from the US. You are truly one of our closest allies in the world, and it is a friendship to be cherished.
R.I.P. brothers.
Thank you to all of these brave soldiers who have paid the ultimate price for freedom. You are my heroes. Without you where would this world be? Please rest in peace and may GOD bless you.
Thank you for this video, it was truly beautiful, I do hope that ppl may view this and see that its not about the war, its about the warriors. All of them. No matter the country, they were loved by someone, and I thank them so much for the sacrifice they made.
this is my First time when i watching video and crying...... I cant believe that they are dead.....
Rest in peace
Always in our hearts never to be forgotten rest in peace Brothers in Arms
Spot on ! Well put.
Can't say I know anyone in the video. What you did here was beautiful and thoughtful, brought a tear to my eye. God Bless those over sea's fighting.
tribute poem:-
please remember me,
im fighting the enemy,
i gave my country the best of me,
'come home safe',
Is what my mother said to me,
this might mean i end my walk in life,
but id do it if it ment you could walk it right,
some days theirs a pain in my chest,
i cant even rest,
never the less,
strength is never the less,
so i keep you here in the left side of my chest.
R.I.P to you all see you on the otherside
thank you. i'm gonna be in the us army at the beginning of next year to go to iraq and i say thank you for all the people there and all the people that went. you are my heros (your bravery) to do this thank you again. and god bless all the troops in the middle east.
Almost too heartbreaking to even comment on. Such beautiful, strong, young men and women, who should be home raising families and living their lives. I salute their bravery, determination and commitment. God bless their families - such loss.
"At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them".
May we never forget their sacrifice and that of their families. As long as we remember and keep them in our hearts, they have not died in vain. We are very grateful to our brothers and sisters in the UK who continue to fight for Freedom. I am also grateful to our Canadian brothers and sisters. My grandfather was in the Canadian Black Watch in WW I. I also lost an uncle in WW II. USMC.
Thank you for posting this video.
Cheers,
Kerry - BOSTON, MA

i broke down in tears over this i just cant take looking at their pictures and think that they arent among us anymore i cant only say that i see these and all the guys down there as heroes they are angels they really are im so sad
always remembered!
This is our Memorial Day weekend in the USA. My heartfelt thanks go out to all the British soldiers who've stood by us and to those who've paid the ultimate price. I'm ashamed of the disrespect our president has shown to our allies especially the United Kingdom. Rest assured most of don't feel that way.
I sleep under the blanket of FREEDOM that these brave men and women provide for me!
i TEACH tough teens every day- yet I could NEVER do what these Americans do FOR ME.
GOD bless them.They are our heros and protecters.
RIP - The best of the best...
We should NEVER forget them...
All those who showed respect before me, have said all that needs to be said....
That was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing, may God Bless all.
Very nicely done! a fitting song and tribute. you should be extremly proud of this video. definatly gets a thumbs up from the U.S.
Thank you for this tribute. We owe much.
The music is particularly emotive and moving I think. It fits perfectly with our thoughts as we watch this. Thank You.

Thank You. I am deeply sorry for the loss of your fiancee. I am sure you hold some very personal and fond memories ..forever. Thanks.
God bless all of them. We will never forget and are so proud of you all.
Always in our hearts and minds forever and in our prayers,THANK YOU.
Very sad indeed, but also makes me feel proud to have such brave people protecting our homeland.
My thoughts go out to all who are coming to terms with losses of loved ones, I can't imagine the pain you must feel each day.
The fallen, no matter the situation, died as heroes and i'm forever indebted to them for their sacrifice. They are forever young.
Gone, but never forgotten.
pray for the soldiers still out there fighting - and bless the one who have given their lives already
bring them home safely
"soldiers - heroes"
