    I got out 20 years ago. I still find myself singing cadences while at work "in the zone". It never leaves you, and I wouldn't have it any other way. To this day, I can't stand when people don't pick their feet up when they walk. Like nails on a chalkboard.
    If the sh*t hits the fan, and they need people, I would drop my life and go all over again. I couldn't imagine any other way.

    Thanks for your service. I am a 67 year old vet, and I still get choked up by songs like this. I swore when I got out that things would be better for the next generation of vets, and in some ways they are, but as you said, vets are quickly forgotten when they get home. Somehow, we have to change that.

    I absolutely love Trace and all vets... this song always brings me to my knees and tears in my eyes.
    Speaking for myself, I love your videos. But I will agree, you should also vlog about your experiences, whether it be military, food-prep, gym routines, or anything that you think your viewing community will enjoy. Have fun at it. ♥

    My Daddy was in the Army for 23 yrs. I was an Army brat all my life, my sister married an Army guy and I married an Air Force vet. The military is a HUGE deal to me. My Dad was deployed during Desert Shield and was there when it went to Desert Storm and I was only 13 and was so scared. He was a medical PA and there was an Iraqi that came into their camp and had what they thought was a bomb on him and my Dad went to him and disarmed him and thank the good Lord it actually was a clock. He won an award for his bravery. He also won an award for rescuing some soldiers from a crashed and burning helicopter. The military, regardless of the branch means the absolute world to me. Thank you for your service as well and doing these videos to honor and respect them as well as their families. God bless you 🙏

    Billy, my son just went through Basic (ARMY) last year. He had a little bit of a tough time. He went through separation anxiety. I didn't understand it but he said with technology now that there were so many lost without their phones. We didn't hear from our son, not even a letter for about 5 weeks. I have 3 children serving now. For any parents out there who has a child in Basic...close your ears the first time you see him/her. If they didn't have a potty mouth when they went in...they will by the time they finish Basic. Thank you for your service BillyYouSoCrazy. Be blessed

    I can tell you that being a wife of a Vet. My husband who has been out for years still has things imbedded in him so deep, that was instilled in him from the Army that he still cares with him today. I see it in everyday life. From the way he walks, talks, and even how he is more aware of his surroundings than a normal man.

I may be older now and not nearly as lean and mean, but that balloon goes up and the call comes in. I look at it this way, I’ve got my boots, give me a weapon and I’ll walk into combat. There was a sign on our TO&E room door and to this day, I remember what it said. “Lead, follow, or get the Hell out of the way” Hooah!! RUCK UP TROOP!! ROCK STEADY!!

    @Quegi-mp1pw 4 роки тому +1

    Thank for the respect given for family. My son went to Iraq 2003 as a medic. His unit received a mortar and he was inured. He kept helping others not realizing the amount of blood he was seeing was his own from a neck injury. It happened July 3rd when I got the call from Germany. The reason for going into this was to illustrate the effect on family. My son was my only child, I raised him as a single mom. It was a holiday weekend, I had no one to call in my time of need. Because this was so traumatic for me I internalized the negativity and anguish resulting in PTSD. A month later, because my immune system had bottomed, I contracted 2 nasty lung infections which I am still battling and will not recover (no cure), I might last another year. So this Memorial Day, pay tribute to our fallen soldiers, but please remember the families. Sometimes it's always nice to know that someone cares even if it comes from a stranger.

I told him I want to go in when I am 17 he responded and he told me " Son you don't have to but if you want to go in when you are 17 I WILL sign the papers. I will always be proud of you if you go in or if you don't you are my son and I will ALWAYS love you"...

    Billy, I hope you know from my past postings, I am very appreciative of the sacrifices and service of all American Service Men and Women. If I had my way, we'd never have to go to war ever again, but I'm not naive enough to believe that happening. As a child, I remember with great sorrow listening to casualty reports during the Korean War, and later Vietnam, as well as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's still hard to hear and I can only empathize with the heartbreak the friends and family of these soldiers feel. As a proud American, I am proud of all of our military personnel and they need and deserve the very best.

    That is sooo funny. My husband and I (both veterans) were just talking about still not walking on grass. Doesn't matter how long and zigzagged the sidewalk is, we must walk on the sidewalk.

    I've been on both sides. Active duty and then being a spouse. Altogether about 22 yrs around the Marine Corps. It has been a long time now. I am 62 years. After all these years I sometimes still miss it. I also still look at some civilians and wonder about them.

    I enjoy your reactions. I was prior Army and my husband was Air Force. One day we were outside the hospital he worked at and one of his docs came walking by. It was so automatic that I stood and saluted. We all had a good laugh.

    I have a grand daughter in the Army and a grand daughter in the Marines, they went in within two months of each other after they graduated, both 18. I’m so proud of them. Thanks Billy for your service.

    I know at least one other person said it, but please react to "Arlington" by Trace Adkins. Very emotional song.

    I would say, not just the spouses, but the families in general of a soldier because the parents, kids, brothers and sisters who live to support their soldier, and they are part of what keeps them strong

    My husband was a PJ in the Air Force. I met him long after he got out. He still has lots of those soldier qualities. For example, he still gets up at the butt crack of dawn, “patrols” around the house at night before bed and is always aware of his surroundings. 4th of July fireworks: I jump at the loud ones while he never flinches. He still to this day has what we call a “happy trigger finger” while he sleeps. If he got the call (even at 54) he would be willing to go back in in a heartbeat.
    I also feel you when you said that the military breaks up some families. He was still married to his first wife while serving. He came home on leave a few days earlier than she expected and he was going to surprise her. He got the surprise instead when he came home to find her with another man in his bed. Her excuse: she was tired of waiting for him to come home 🙄

      I was my military husband's fourth & last wife. He was a 24 USAF vet. I was privileged to be married to him for 50 years. Our daughters & I saw that he was put to rest in the Utah Veterans Cemetery and Memorial Park. (His home state & where he wanted to be buried) I miss him like crazy. But he was 20 years older than me and Heavenly Father called him home. One of our granddaughter's played TAPS at his military burial service.

    We would love to see your reaction to Military Man by Jessie James Decker and to Unsung Heroes by Darryl Worley.
