LET'S GO!
Done!
Bought this a couple days ago. Not a vet myself, but my husband, father-in-law, brother-in-law, grandpa, nephews and most every one of my friends has or is serving. Bless you all.
👊🏼🇺🇸❤
Take no prisoners.
This hits hard and is much appreciated! Filling the hope of a country hopefully united again!
I remember the day I left for Marine corps boot camp. In 1992 I was 17 years old. I was told I would never make it . 13 weeks later I graduated and earned the title UNITED STATES'MARINE. It was my proudest moment in my life past or future. I became a scout sniper then went to recon the to force recon. Then in 2006 I became a member of the elite unit MARSOC MARINE RAIDERS. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2015 after 23 years of service at the age of 40 I was forced in to a medical retirement because of injuries sustained in combat . I'll never forget my experiences that the Marines gave me good or bad . IAM ONE OF THE FEW ,THE PROUD A UNITED STATES' MARINE. RETIRED GUNNERY SGT USMC SEMPER FI
Fuck yes man. God bless you sir. I wasted my life on drugs and alcohol. At age 45 I wish I would have served just to say I did SOMETHING admirable and special.
@@jonnygranville281 we all have our own fight I'm glad you got through your to share your story keep strong!
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service and tremendous sacrifice.....
Share this with all your loved ones that have or is wearing a uniform 🇺🇲
Brother you know I will. Again thank you for all that you do from your album to this. You are doing Gods work. He is using you as a light in this dark time. You and the members of Space Force as well as MJ HANKS are doing something that will Transend your life time. People will remember your words and they will become an anthem. I thank all of you.
Bars 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you and the marine rapper. For honoring the fallen 13 with this song. My 2 cousins who are brothers (one a marine and the other army) were both sent to the airport to secure evacuation. Thank god that one of them is home safe now and the other got restationed to a safer base.
Powerful work!
ABSOLUTELY
To those who disliked, they do not know what the ultimate sacrifice truly entails. It’s fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters left behind at home. It’s heartbreak, pain, and mourning. It’s knowing that “greater love hath no man, that he lay down his life for his brother” John 15:13. Thank you for this video! “In omnia paratus!”
It is possible those who dislike do so out of recognition that the honored dead are and were better humans than the bastards who sent them away will ever be, no matter the colours under which they strive valiantly. Sending the sons and daughters of other families to cast their blood paying the karma some ivory tower BS maggot doesn't have the stomach for, but also doesn't have the humility to stop sending those other sons and daughters back out, again and again.
No one truly understands unless they live through it, life in the military is like an undiscovered culture. It's so different in the civilian world
@@brandonallinder2790i respect people who believe they are fighting for what's right. However the US is the biggest terrorist country that has ever existed. US soldiers are just the muscle for the elites
No! His laying his life down to take out other people's fathers, mothers, daughters and sons in wars of lies!
It's not a proud service, it's a shameful one when you find out why you were trained and used. It was not for God, no! It was to deprive other human beings
We live in a sad world, full of lies. From Birth they steal our purpose of being alive
If we didn’t have such a powerful military, life as it is would not be possible in this country. That is the bottom line. This country was born of a strong militia, & it is maintained by a strong militia. I left my home… to join the militia.
As a grown man of almost 42 yrs... I cried when I saw this video and read the quotes. God bless all of the men and women who died protecting this country. My heart goes out to all of you and your family.
Happy Veterans Day to all those who left their home to protect their family and others. Special thank you to the fallen 13 service members who lost their lives fighting for our freedoms. You will never be forgotten. This one for my people FREEDOM FIGHTERS!
Well put Marine and thank you for your service and ask of the countless other veterans throughout history.
Also Happy Belated Birthday to you as a United States Marine Corps Veteran, Oorah!
Brother, Thank you deeply for your spoken word and your actions. You answering last night truly showed me your passion and your love for Marines and Veterans alike. The work you are doing with other Veterans is an amazing thing. At time like this we need Veterans like yourself to remind us all we aren't alone. To remind families that their loved ones weren't just a number. I am eagerly sitting at my computer waiting to watch what I know will be another masterpiece. From the minds of Veterans we will become better as a community and as one. Thank you to everyone involved in this project.
@@sempersometimes
Very good comment, thank you for sharing your thoughts and perspective. #Blessings your way!
@@100proamerica Thank you. We appreciate you. RAH
@@100proamerica Thank you. We have to remember these brave souls.
Afghan vet here. This brought tears to my eyes. You all did such an amazing job of this piece of art.
Thank you for your service to our nation from a Retired USAF MSgt
Thank you for your service and I hope you and yours are doing okay.
Thank you for your service, CPL, USMC here
This Afgan vet was proud to be a part of it as well. I even teared up at the parts I appeared in. I never saw the final cut till after this was posted. They did a great job,
Brought tears to my eyes also brother was in iraq both takings of Fallujah. And in Afghanistan. Us Marine here bro welcome home battle brother SEMPER FI
My dad is a veteran. 5 of my 7 brothers have served in the military (including the “ DI” in this video!!), and I married a Navy Corpsman. They’ve all fought in Iraq or Afghanistan and im so very blessed that they’ve all made it home safe. I’ve watched this probably 100 times and it gives me ALL the feels every time. To say I’m proud of my military family is an understatement.
Ps. That count didn’t include our grandparents and great aunts and uncles who have also served. Thank you for this amazing song and video. @mjhanks
I was there in Kabul as part of V1/8, my squad had been relieved 22 minutes before it happened, I appreciate with all I have the effort put into making this, because one of them could have been me
I'm really sorry you had to go through that. Thank you for your service🇺🇸
Bro this hit so hard. Not just musically but emotionally. I feel a mix of pride and hurt. Pride for what my predecessors did for us and hurt for those who will never hug their loved ones again. Y'all did an unbelievable job with this. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes! I feel so unbelievably proud and yet I feel like we've been punched in the stomach. They did AMAZING 🙏💪🇺🇲
THIS
I shed a tear every time I hear it.
I couldn’t say that any better. Well said. I second this statement!!!
Get it
I am sobbing. Momma of two veterans. Luke served 11 Bravo OIF
and Jarrod served USAF stateside. We honor 3 young soldiers from our neighborhood who gave their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq. Never forgotten…ever🙏🏼
ONLY you guys could bring this to life in a pure and genuine way. Grateful to you all. Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
It's strange to me. My daughter has lost many classmates from her class of '08 in a war that began when they were just children. Now she has married a veteran and has friends who are drill sergeants. My husband served 28 years active duty and I still think of the younger generation as 'kids.'
We failed them. We passed down a war that we should've ended before they were old enough to fight.
my dad was in both of those aswell. he was the very first group to be sent out there
@@damienweldy2442 Proud of him.
❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
your kids have payed for the cost of freedom with their own blood, sweat, and tears. I know they did it to protect you and their loved ones. They are true heros who deserve respect and love for their service. I hope my son or daughter serves in the United States Armed Forces.
May those who had fallen to protect our freedom and country find the peace and rest that they deserve
To all my brothers and sisters who left home to never return. Rest easy we've got your watch.
Happy Veterans Day everyone!
Really hope you guys do another cut, with all the other versions that everyone submitted
Thank you for this. Both grandfathers (Army and Navy), my dad (Army), myself (Marines) and now my nephew (Marines).
To have watched this whole thing grow organically and develop into this epic tribute is nothing short of awesome!
YESSS!!! It's amazing what they've done. Beautiful! 🙌🇺🇲
It was amazing to watch this project grow.. I hope they continue..
Right
😭 as I celebrate my first a thanksgiving without my son who is serving the United States Marine Corp this has me in all my feelings. Thank you.
Thank you ma’am for your son and supporting him in his Decision
All about the us army
over a year later, and still brings tears to my eyes when I hear this song.
So proud seeing this all come to life. Thank you all who helped us make this what it is.
Thank you for your hard work!
Do you have Hungarian origins? After your name I am pretty sure you have hungarian roots
@@szilamerfarkas5676 Yeah my grandpa was born in Budapest. Cool you recognized that from my last name
@@PeterMolnar thanks for your answer. I wish you all the best.
This video was absolutely one of the greatest things I have ever had the privilege of watching .... so much emotion I loved every second of it so much motivation you gentlemen killed it
Thank you brother!
My son has not long been enlisted he is in basic now and I couldn't be more proud of the man he is. And thanks to all who have and are still serving and to all the ones who have given their all so we can stay free. May that march in to heaven with their heads held high and a smile on the face knowing that because of their sacrifices we can sleep in peace one more night. Thanks my brothers.
Powerful and breaks my heart. Very hard to not shed a tear. People need to hear this song and understand the sacrifice put in to serve our nation. Outstanding job.
Rahhhhhhh
I've been following this since y'all started this on TikTok. Being a vet is no easy task, for sure. Happy Veteran's Day!!!
Happy Veterans day!
@@TheMarineRapper And to you as well.
Holy shit I was not expecting 3:48, what an amazing addition to this video. Truly captured their memories and what they fought so hard for. This video is not just for these 13 service members, but for everyone, who has sacrificed so much for us to be here. God bless our troops 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Having watched my grandpa battle ptsd from the past wars he fought in was hard, he didn’t like talking about what he went through, my uncle his son followed in his footsteps and joined the marines and that made his dad really proud of him. Watching my friends and family and past family members and my uncle who I lost in the Korean War and to this day still haven’t been able to get his body back, it’s hard to put exactly into words, but I can tell they are sometimes lost and are hurting. This was special to see that it’s not all just happy homecomings, it’s the ones that we lost, the ones who battle depression and the ones that don’t what to do with their lives when they get home
Thank you for your service, thank you all men and women for your service.
My family is made up of four generations of military vets including my husband and myself, I am brought to tears over this. My heart goes out to the 13 fallen soldiers families. To all my brothers and sisters, thank you, because you are the reason I am still here and I hope you all have a Happy Veteran's Day. Go Army!!
Proud great granddaughter of a WW2 hero and niece of a Vietnam & Korea hero. I know that a thank you for your service doesn't seem like much after everything you've been through and seen, especially with the government doing yall dirty lately. But from the very bottom of my heart, thank you for all you've done and do, for your bravery and courage to do a job that most throw dirt on while they themselves could not perform the duties.
If this doesn't bring you to tears, you're made of steel. Thank you, from this Marine. God bless and Semper Fi
This is one of the most powerful dedication songs to date. As a veteran we go to help protect our homes and so many don’t see what their job does for people back home. Much respect and appreciation to my fellow brothers and sisters still out there holding down for us.
I am excited for this, thank you MJHanks, and everyone involved!
pumped for you to see it!
Thank you
@@TheMarineRapper thank you!
This is so impactful, our service members deserve this type of recognition 👏 🤧
Thank you and thank you for the cover art!
As a 17 year vet of the US Army, this song hits hard. But not in a bad way. My pride in my Triple Canopy about fills my living room when this is playing. Well done Marine well done
My dad was a Vietnam vet. Everyday I am thankful for what he did for us, after what he’s been through. This song is amazing.
Never has a song gave me such chills and hit so may emotion. God bless America. Thank you all that serve.
I'm sending this to my girlfriend. She's in the army and I'm so proud of her and happy I can call her mine
As a military vet (Army) I am
Moved by the emotion and creativity of this video. I’m a 3rd generation veteran in my family. I met my husband there… we both used to run together years after our service time and call cadence to one another lol … had great times until he passed away due to unexpected health issues
Thank you to all men and women in uniform ❤ especially to the fallen soldiers and their families 🙏🏾
Thank you gentlemen for this powerful song. It brought tears to my eyes because I left my home over 20 years ago to serve my country. Like all my brothers and sisters in arms, I would do it again for freedom, family and country.
This is the best thing I've seen about the Military/Veterans in a long time it gives a good message!!!
Wow! Beautiful work. Not a dry eye in the crowd of veterans that just watched this video as soon as it was released. My brothers and sisters, Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Semper Fidelis!
Every time I hear this song this song makes me want to enlist for our country. God Bless OUR Troops. Y'all are amazing. Truly thank y'all for y'all service.
Respect from Germany 🇩🇪🤝🏻🇺🇲
I had chills the entire time, you guys did such a phenomenal job!
Happy Veterans Day to all who have served, and thank you for serving our country. We would not have this wonderful place without you. This is beautiful and very emotional to watch. Powerful visuals. And much respect for honoring the fallen 13 service members throughout the video.
Thank you so much for your endless support.
Thank u to those who served, bled and died for our freedoms.
"Born when the war started. Life ended at the end of it."

I'm so happy to see this come to completion. Thank you all for your service.
Thank you for all your services sincerely to anyone who has served in the military
Every time I hear this song makes me miss my squad R.I.P. SSG Hilliard and many more was a pleasure serving with you miss you everyday.
This song hits home, and it give such raw emotion. It brings me back to those day, and it allows me to push forward agains.
it hit home recently, cause me (17) and my sister (19) enlisted in the army in late 2021. we are both first gen. service members. she decided to serve cause i took her to the recruiting office and she seemed interested. she chose a logistics job in the reserves cause she want to finish studing photography in college. i chose infantry active duty and now that she just left home for basic training, it hit hard and i miss her.
Thank you guys for this amazing video as a veteran of Iraq and someone who is still serving this speaks volumes
Bang this song every morning and get motivated... Im a med retired United States Marine and will forever be a patriot, Marine and proud American
RIP all of the Freedom fighters that died serving our country THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
this aint even premiere yet but i still know its just gonna be fire
Blow this up America! This is the epitome of patriotism. God bless yall and thank you for your service. The song is a great honor to all who have served to protect the people of this nation, whether military, police, emt, or frontline health. Ooooh rah 🇺🇲
Memorial Day May 29,2023. To the 13 fallen men and women you aren’t forgotten

Absolutely amazing, there’s literally no words!! Thank you for not forgetting our soldiers left behind! And thank you to everyone so has or currently serving, God Bless America 🇺🇸
You all really out did yourself. This video was amazing. It was incredibly powerful. Watching the scenes I did even got to me watching it. Thank you for letting me be a part of this! The crew and others were all amazing!
From the very bottom of my heart, I am so genuinely grateful for every person who has served in the military. With every fiber of my being, I thank you for your service. I pray that you all can find peace.
Had to come revisit this masterpiece. One of the most powerful music videos of our times and so undervalued. Love you guys for this ❤ 🙌🏼 RIP to my brother Charlie who served 3 tours and took his life when he got home. The countless sacrifices should never be forgotten 🙏🏼 #gpphamily
Look up GP phamily. He also rapped. Dub X 😭
This is so beautiful. Though I may not be American, love for country and people is something all should feel. Patriotism should be the extension of our love for our own family, community and people.
Very well said.
Here I am listening to this song for the hundredth time, and still Love this Song. Give a like if you are here in Aug/Sep 2022 watching this for your hundredth time. God Bless You all.
My son left for the Middle East 20 years after I did. I left before he was a year old. Never thought that the time that would be the legacy I’d give him.
I was really good friends with David Espinoza. I went to ITB with him along with some of my current buddies. I had just left for deployment with 1/1 when we found out he was gone. We were supposed to relieve his unit but the mission was denied. Because of this song I was finally able to get connected with his mom. Thank you for helping me become part of his family.
Such a great song, awesome video, and beautiful tribute to our fallen 13. Thank you all for your service! ❤️💔
Semper Fi, do or die. Live long marines. God bless America and usmc and us army. You've been our buddies and you Will always be. Blessing from Estonia.
I was in tears remembering all the friends that I met when I served in the Army (especially the fallen ones). This a beautiful and powerful video. Til Valhalla
The cadence, the stuff DS come up with> Gold
God bless the veterans. Happy remembrance day from 🇨🇦. This video gave me chills I appreciate all that you do.
Happy Veterans Day, Thank you to all who have served, and for the sacrifices they and their families have made.❤
Afghan vet here. This is beautiful nicely done
Happy Veterans Day Thank You For Your Service
We are really looking forward to this release. Best and blessings y'all and Happy Veterans Day! (And Happy recovery-from-Marine-Corps-Birthday Day, Marines!)
Thank you!
yup totally worth it to wait 2 hours straight this is such a masterpeice thanks MJHANKS
Can't make it through this without tears. Miss all of you every single day and feel blessed that you sacrificed everything for all of us. Till Valhalla brothers and sisters. You will NEVER be forgotten
So powerful. My husband was in Vietnam. Still carries the physical and emotional scars. He lost so many friends over there. He feels so blessed to have made it home. With that, he Feels so much guilt as well.
This song is marvelous. 🤙🏻
This song never fails to bring me to tears. My heart hurts for the family that lost their father/mother/son/daughter/brother/sister. I pledge my life that I will avenge the brave who fell to protect our land. I know it will be the most difficult thing to do in life but I plan on becoming a sniper for the soul reason of protecting my family and my people. God Bless the fallen and the ones joining now or in the future.
Don't mind me. I'm just gonna sit over here and have chills.
October that’s when I swear in counting the days
As an OIF Vet who lost his brother and best friend supporting OEF, this song, every time I hear it brings tears to my eyes. Keep up the great work. God bless my brothers and sisters who served and those currently serving.
Amazing I loved every min of it thank you not only for your service but reminding the world to never forget
Thank you!
I showed this to my dad and he loved it! He was in the Army from 1992-2000
Incredible tribute to soldiers everywhere and to those we have lost. Hooah.
Gentlemen, this was and is an amazing video. Keep shaking up the music industry. Keep that flag flying!
Killed it again 🔥 so happy to wake up to this. Happy Veterans Day everyone
Words can't describe how much this video impacted me. My dad had many close encounters during his time in the war. He is retired now and I will definitely be sharing this with him because last night he read the Marine Christmas poem to me and my kids last night and said how proud he was that he got to serve. Thank you for making my dad proud. I know he is going to love it.
Outstanding! My favorite cadence. Y’all are immensely skilled! Happy late Veterans Day brothers! May God bless our great country, and may God bless you all!
Recently I was discharged from the Marine Corps due to an injury in the Crucible. I spent 9-10 months on Parris Island as a recruit without the title I walked through my front door, I cannot begin to explain the amount of disappointment I felt through the whole process. But this song really makes me feel that Its just not my time yet and that the time I'm spending at home right now has a reason and that the only way to take a failure is to stand up and try again.
Ghat dang this hit right in the feels. Goosebumps every time I revisit. Outstanding work, Gentlemen!
As Memorial Day approaches, thank you all for your service!
Holy crap, what an amazing song. I didn't lose any fellow soldiers while deployed but I did lose many after coming home. This song hits home. Great job
Thank you for this! It hits different right now bc my husband's deployed, so it has me in tears again! God Bless those that serve, and the ones that didn't make it home🙏🇺🇲
This hits me deeply on so many levels. God bless all of you for sharing your gifts and stories.
One of the 13 was from my town. He is now our Home Town Hero.
May you protect us all from Heaven, Lance CPL.
