Your right.they were treated bad.then when the V.CS started to move into America they were set up in houses cars jobs lived here all my life and there driveing new cars while mine is held together with baleing wire.what's wrong with this picture??
I used to have a Carpentry teacher who was a seabee in Vietnam. He showed us some slide pictures of his time there. They had to had the luckiest bull dozer driver ever. They were bulldozing a road through the jungle and uncovered a bunch of our own mines that hadn't been activated thankfully. I think he said that they were called butterfly mines. In the picture you could see them up under the dozer and sticking out from under the tracks of the dozer. He also talked about how people would take dead babies and wrap them up with hand grenades and hand them to soldiers and disappear. The soldiers think that they were just helping the mother and would be killed.
And so many of them have suffered in silence. They don't want to relive what they went through. I pray the ones that are suffering in silence find someone to talk to and help them through their rough days.
thank you, for thanking my heroes. my first Platoon Sergeant SFC Miller was a Nam Vet i got my first lesson in Soldiering from him, the Nam vets prepared us for Desert Storm, we passed that to the kids that followed us...
I have an uncle on my dad's side of the family who did 3 tours in Vietnam. He said he kept going back because he'd rather be over there getting shot at from a distance than over here getting spit on. It's amazing to me how many people want peace for everyone, but have no interest in fighting for it. On my mom's side of the family, my grandfather and his 4 brothers joined the military (2 Army, 2 Navy and 1 Marine) during WW2. All my uncles were military and so was I along with all my male cousins and 2 female cousins. Any time I hear a patriotic song like this, it makes me remember all the people I worked with that never came back from their deployment and those that did only to be medically discharged.
Wow! I remember that time. My older brother dropped out of high school joined the Army and was immediately sent to Vietnam. Laos to be exact. At 19. He recently passed away and I wanted to say a public Thank You to my brother and all veterans for your service. God Bless You All.
I love that you did this! My uncle lost his life in the battle! He was 19 years old. He was an only child and his parents were never the same. I grew up seeing his picture and medal and a neatly folded flag. He saved 4 men before he died. I was shocked when this song came out and how it was attached to my family. Very special song for us!
Your story brought tears to my eyes. I have four sons and losing even one would devastate me ... And how much more that would be true if I only had one ! Nineteen is still a baby. Or it should be ... What these young men saw ... 💔 I am sorry for your family's loss ...
@@IdahoRanchGirl He was my Step Uncle to be exact. His parents divorced (he was their only child) and his dad married my grandmother who already had 4 children, one of which was my father. So, yes, he was an only child and my uncle.
As a Veteran, I can say that serving is the hardest and painful job. But it can be very rewarding. I got out of Army 17 years ago. I still maintain relationships with my "battles". And I would do it again.
Love Big and Rich. They have such a unique harmony sound. Ty, I think you would get a lot out of Big and Rich "Holy Water".(because you work with a lot of troubled people) The video is amazing, but the message is special. The song was written for one of their sisters. Big Kenny's sister and others like her. It is bringing attention to rape. In particular the devastating rape of the young and innocent.
Big & Rich have beautiful harmonies. I love their music and songs and I have always loved Holy Water. I know nothing of the story behind the song but what you shared here ! Thank you for that. ✌💗🎶
Absolutely this song is amazing. One of only three songs I can think of that gives me chills. Also Wrong Side of Heaven by Five Finger Death Punch is amazing. My wife and I say if anyone watches the video without getting emotional, then they don't have a soul.
Oh Lord. When you think you have put it all behind you, and shoved the pain down where it won't come back to stab you, here is comes, roaring back, and shocks you back into the hell of it all. This song breaks my heart. There is no excuse for any vet to be homeless, jobless and without honor.
My brother gave more than 20 years to the US Navy and they pushed him out with their mandatory promote-or-retire schtick. When he arrived home in Tennessee, they wouldn't even hire him at PetsMart. Ridiculous that there aren't more reentry supports in place for vets returning to civilian life. But, you are just property of the United States of America when you enlist and when you no longer suit their purposes, when you are obsolete to them, it is bye bye. I don't talk to my brother and haven't in years but that really made me mad to hear how he was treated after giving so much in service to the Navy. :/
And they are more concerned with finding homes for illegal immigrants, while those that served this country live in the streets and need medical help, mentally and physically. It's astounding. Take care of Americans first!
Big and Rich had a lot of good songs. I think you'd like That's Why I Pray. John Rich has a lot of good solo songs too. Should check out Shutting Detroit Down of you get a chance
I thank your father for his sacrifice. My father was there at the same time. He was lucky to make it home. But he was gone for years. I was very very young at the time and didn't really understand what was happening. I'm sorry for your loss.
This is so beautiful but I have yet to hear it and not cry!!!!😢. I do and have raised my daughter to Thank any and all vet.s she might meet. Everyday is veterans day for our family❣️
This song is expertly written. Big & Rich do not get enough recognition for their talent. And ... thank you for making the point about some not believing in war. I am one of those, but let me tell you, I absolutely honor veterans. Whenever I see someone with the commemorative plates on their cars or hats on their heads, I extend my hand, look them in the eye, and thank them for their service. Regardless of how I feel about the military or war, I do not and will not ever take the respect from those who had or have boots on the ground. I never ever utter the words, "I don't believe in war" or some such statement to those who fought it ! It would be more accurate for me personally to say that I don't *agree* with war as a concept but in the world we live in, it is a reality and I don't deny it. My brother, my sister, and my BIL have collectively given more than 65 years to the military, all Navy. My sister was a Senior Master Chief Petty Officer at retirement. My BIL is the same rank. My brother was a master mechanic and flight deck captain and retired a detailer. I would never disrespect the work they did, their dedication, their sacrifices, or their service.
**** Mr. TY ****, the man that narrates this song in the beginning, was the man who wrote ME & BOBBY MCGEE, Janis Joplin took the song to number 1 and is an all time classic....his name is Kris Kristofferson
@@jenniferatkinson442 yesss I love that one too. I grew up listening to his music so I had assumed everyone my age knew he was so much more than just a actor
Also American Soldier by Toby Keith is great as well to honor our troops and explain the sacrifices made not just by our troops but by their families as well.
Big & Rich are singers of today. This video brings a tear to my eyes because I remember the Vietnam War. It was on the news every night. Soldiers that came home were not welcomed with open arms they were belittled and and received hate.. The war was not popular and in fact it was never called a war. It was referred to as the Vietnam conflict. A lot of the veterans from Vietnam became homeless people. This was the last War or conflict that used to the lottery draft system so most of these men were not volunteers. But they deserved better from the United States when they came home.
I have been working at a Veteran's outpatient clinic for 15 years! It's the best blessing God could ever give me! Come one day and listen to the stories! I love my job and doing all I can do with our Vets!
I love the thought you give to the meaning behind the lyrics of this and every song you review. Very genuine! Thank you for keeping an open mind. God bless our vets!
I had 5 uncles who served in korea and when they came home,they had no one waiting. ..some family. sad people have no care for those who die and serve for us . god bless our service members,and thank you!
Kenny and John took the gentleman back to Vietnam for some closure. Thanks for playing this great tribute song. So many of my friends are suffering with Agent Orange.Judy
I agree Ty, just like famous people make Christmas records, Fallen Soldier songs should be done too! .... Great Story, lots of great people died in that war.
I have an undeniable respect for our military. I was born in march of 1964 My dad fought for the united states Army in WWII. He schoole myself and my 6 brothers and sisters to have respect and honor not just to our military but also for each and every human being that chose a life of service to his fellow man....from military to docs and nurses...firemen and women....police officers etc.
That is Specialist-6 Lawrence Joel at the beginning being awarded The Medal of Honor! He was a 37 year old Medic during this Battle. He was shot twice, in the right thigh, and again in the right calf. He bandaged his own wounds. He had orders to stay on the ground. He defied orders and took care of the wounded. The battle lasted over 24 hours but, he went all over the field looking for more medical supplies as his were exhausted right away. He recieved a Silver Star. On March 9 ,1967 President Johnson presented SPEC-6 Lawrence Joel, "The Medal Of Honor" on the White House Lawn! The city of his birth and Hometown, Winston-Salem N.C. has a Coliseum named after Him. The Lawrence Joel Veteran's Memorial Coliseum. He was a Korean War Veteran also. The Coliseum has Memorial Tablets, Plaques, and Stands all around the outside with names of all K.I.A.s from our County from all the Wars. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetary!. R.I.P.
If you want a fun Big and Rich song, try Rollin' (The Ballad of Big and Rich). Not for fun, but I love Saved as well. Actually, most of the Horse of a Different Color album is great. You should try Kris Kristofferson's Why Me Lord (the Highway Men version). If you do want to do a Veterans Day special, take a look at John Michael Montgomery's Letters From Home, David Ball's Riding With Private Malone and Citizen Soldier by 3 Doors Down
Thank you Ty. Met a veteran in the ER who said he had stopped receiving insulin for his diabetes. Turns out military thought he was dead and stopped all his benefits. Took 6 months to fix paperwork and by that time he had irreversible damage. Sad.
Red tape ! When I hear stories like this, I get so angry and then frustrated because I honestly don't know the best and most effective way I could help !
If you want a song of theirs that has a much happier feel to it, I'd recommend Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy. It's definitely a lot more upbeat and I think you'd enjoy the tune
It's more upbeat because it's not about 40 plus Americans losing their lives in Vietnam. It's about well, riding cowboys instead of horses. That's always upbeat. I have my very own cowboy. I recommend it.
I was 6 yrs. Old outside playing basketball by myself and walked in the back door of my home. There everybody was in family screaming and crying . my moms brother Uncle Larry McCubbins Killed In Action Vietnam. 19 F-----G yrs. Old.Grandma (her son) was laying on floor shaking violently, hallucinating. Grandpa(his son) was in corner staring at nothing, with drool coming down his chin. I was 6 yrs. Old. Heres to all Vietnam HEROES . Bless you . I pray to the Higher Spirit all the time. These people who disrespect our country without sacrifice need not cross me. You have had my medicine before. Do not EVER talk down my country. I'll put somethin' on ya' Ajax won't take off. I am not a veteran. Biggest regret of my life.Thank you for letting me vent.God Bless America.......
I love what you do. I can tell that you're really taking in the lyrics. That's what country music is, words and a story. I think a lot of people give up when they hear the twang and can't get into the story. You were very into the song from start to finish. It was great to see
Proud 20 year Army Brat! Dad Veteran 62-85, VN? He won't/cant say. We WERE on small post northern Japan 68/69, and he was "TDY" a lot.. I was born 65, so 8th of November one of my faves
I'd forgotten how powerful this song is. War IS Hell. There are several artists/bands who do a lot for veterans and military, especially 5FDP and KISS. I do feel we need to take better care of our vets. My great uncle was one of those kids who went to Vietnam and came back haunted... he never talked about the war, and was sick a jokester. He literally had me laughing at my grandmother's visitation(his big sister). I asked him them, how was it that no matter how bad things were he could always make us laugh. He put his arm around me and said "If I learned one thing in those jungles all those years ago, it was that sometimes you have to laugh to keep from screaming cause if you start screaming you will never stop". Truly one of the most profound things anyone has ever said to me, that was 14 years ago and I kinda make it my mantra. Sorry for the ramble.
Big and Rich are amazing. They have great songs. This is one of them. Glad u like the song and u are on to an idea for the artist to have something some other CDs to honor the veterans and the ones that are serving now and to the future generation.
Bob Dylan, first is a poet, he set his poems to music, An unusual voice to say the least but he is never off key ever. Almost every singer out there has a Dylan song in their book, From, Knock, knock, knocken on Heavens Door, to Blowing in the Wind a song that put down racism." Positively 4th Street" is my favorite out of literally hundreds of songs. He was called , The Voice of his generation , which he declined. By the way, the longer you listen to his music, the better his voice becomes, no joke. Jimi Hendricks version of Knock, Knock, Knocken on Heaven's Door, Dylan said he liked it better than his own, Serious Chops! "Hey Mr. Tambourine Man" is rated High on Rolling Stone's best ever Rock and Roll songs. His ,"Like a Rolling Stone" was ranked #1.
I am a native Minnesotan who grew up on the "southern" part of Highway 61. Hard to believe such a treasure originated just 127 miles from where my roots are !
Very fitting reaction to that song! If your interested ,big and Rich took him back to Vietnam and did a little documtery about it it's a great tribute to this one man! He even met the man that was commanding the troops on the other side of the battle! It's worth your time just to watch, it's on CZcams!
Never watched your channel. Thank you for letting the song play out. This one song should be listened to from start to stop. Thanks for your patience and respect for those who gave their all.
I'll never forget the day my 18yr old uncle and 18 yr old cousin was drafted and left for Vietnam. We had just lost a cousin over there. I was very young but, I remember it like it was yesterday. They were not given a hero's welcome for the ones that returned. Luckily, we live in a small town and the bus took each soldier home. I'll never forget running and jumping into my uncle's arms. So thankful he came home alive but, till this day, he has problems from it. He also suffers from Agent Orange exposure.
Something to believe in, by Poison is an incredible song that also pays respect to vietnam vets. The lead singer, Brett Michaels, wrote it the night his best friend and bodyguard commited suicide in Palm Springs... the studio cut from the official video is pure, raw emotion as it was recorded the next morning. It took a LOT of takes because he kept breaking down in tears... the video is drop dead gorgeous too. The emotion on his face... gives me chills, you can FEEL what he felt.... and he's no actor, that's all raw emotion.
I missed the draft by a couple of years but I remember those times so well. I can’t watch this video without tearing up. What those dirty ass hippies did to our Vietnam veterans was unconscionable.
I love this song and I'm so grateful for our troops..my father was in the military and he was shot (I wanna say desert storm but not 100 percent sure )and still has the scars he doesn't talk about it much....fast forward to last year ..I care for adults with various degrees of disabilities and one of my main individuals ended up in the hospital and there family member came in and was so sweet ..we got to talking and it gives me chills to this day but this man whom I never met before in a state i just moved to ...turns out my dad fought under his command and side by side with him....crazy to think they both went into battle not knowing 20+ years down the road it would come full circle 😍
This reminded me of a song years back by Tim McGraw called If You're Reading This. I ugly cry when I hear it. From eastern NC in the middle of military bases. We love and appreciate our military's sacrifice. Now I gotta go ugly cry for a minute.
There are organizations that pair songwriters and veterans are paired up, and the veteran tells their story and then the songwriter will come up with a song about their story. These songs are then put out there for artists to listen to and can record. The veteran will also receive royalties for the song. I have a friend who actually did this-she and her three brothers all served. One brother was killed in action in Iraq, and her youngest brother took his own life several years later- because of PTSD. The song was never picked up by an artist, but it is a beautiful song.
This is the first time seeing your channel and I am very impressed with what you had to say about veterans. I am going to watch more of your reactions especially with anything doing with the military. I would like to see your reaction to The group Home Free with Lee Greenwood’s song God Bless the USA. Home Free is a cappella group. They use no instruments. They make all the instrument sounds themselves.
You are right, we need something to make us remember and appreciate what other people, mostly just kids, gave up so we can bicker and fight over what are often just petty problems. I love this country and I hope ya'll do too. Thanks for sharing.
i love this song. you did a better job holding it together your first time hearing it than i did.. not too many people understand how special america is... theres a huge difference between fighting to win, and fighting for whats right.. america truely is the freedom fighters of the world.. and sadly alot arent appreciated ..
We need more people to help take care of our troops. Then and now. No retired vet should be on the streets or be hungry. They did what was asked of them. God bless them.
It’s a shame they came home and were treated so bad. I’m grateful for all of our military and veterans. Thank you to everyone of you for our freedom.
Your right.they were treated bad.then when the V.CS started to move into America they were set up in houses cars jobs lived here all my life and there driveing new cars while mine is held together with baleing wire.what's wrong with this picture??
They were treated awfully half of them didn't have a choice but to go
I used to have a Carpentry teacher who was a seabee in Vietnam. He showed us some slide pictures of his time there. They had to had the luckiest bull dozer driver ever. They were bulldozing a road through the jungle and uncovered a bunch of our own mines that hadn't been activated thankfully. I think he said that they were called butterfly mines.

He also talked about how people would take dead babies and wrap them up with hand grenades and hand them to soldiers and disappear. The soldiers think that they were just helping the mother and would be killed.
And so many of them have suffered in silence. They don't want to relive what they went through. I pray the ones that are suffering in silence find someone to talk to and help them through their rough days.
thank you, for thanking my heroes. my first Platoon Sergeant SFC Miller was a Nam Vet i got my first lesson in Soldiering from him, the Nam vets prepared us for Desert Storm, we passed that to the kids that followed us...
the angels were crying as they carried his brothers away.
gets me every time.
Sargent says look up ahead like dark evil cloud 1200 came down
The intro gets me every freekin time
When I hear songs like this about OUR GREAT VETERANS AND THEY DON'T GET THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE ESPECIALLY FROM VIETNAM.
SONGS LIKE THIS MAKE ME CRY
yeah......
Don't thank them for their service but instead Welcome them home. That's something they never got!
I have an uncle on my dad's side of the family who did 3 tours in Vietnam. He said he kept going back because he'd rather be over there getting shot at from a distance than over here getting spit on.

Thank you ...
God bless you sir.
❤️❤️❤️
Your service is appreciated by me. My father is a Vietnam vet. Navy.
Welcome Home Brother!
I like Big and Rich. When they came on the music scene, they had such a different sound.
Gotta love early Lonestar (that was Rich singing)
I got to see them play in a very small casino. Best concert ever!
@@TheSpud1129 he sang in Lonestar? Never knew that.
Wish more people knew this song. Thank you for playing it. Country singers can be counted on recording patriotic and religious songs.
Daryl Worley has put out quite a few songs for military. Have You Forgotten? and I Just Came Back From a War are my favorites
Yes do this song please
Yessss please do these songs
Darryl is from my home town. Hes a trip frfr...
I work at a VA Out Patient clinic! I love my Vet's and they love me! It's the best feeling to be able to give back to them!
God bless you 🙏 for what you do
Doin God's work
You would enjoy *American Soldier* by Toby Keith then. Toby is very patriotic and even plays for our troops.
That is a great selection, he loves the troops
Exact story of my life as a child. Word for word, scene for scene...yes!
“Greater love hath no man, than to lay down his life for his brother”~John 15:13
Being a granddaughter, daughter , niece , cousin and mother of a veteran. This hits so close to home. I try to thank a veteran whenever I meet one.
I love that you did this! My uncle lost his life in the battle! He was 19 years old. He was an only child and his parents were never the same. I grew up seeing his picture and medal and a neatly folded flag. He saved 4 men before he died. I was shocked when this song came out and how it was attached to my family. Very special song for us!

How can an Uncle be an only child? Unless they had another child later?
@@IdahoRanchGirl He was my Step Uncle to be exact. His parents divorced (he was their only child) and his dad married my grandmother who already had 4 children, one of which was my father. So, yes, he was an only child and my uncle.
As a Veteran, I can say that serving is the hardest and painful job. But it can be very rewarding. I got out of Army 17 years ago. I still maintain relationships with my "battles". And I would do it again.

@@IdahoRanchGirl Tell your Dad from one vet to another, Welcome Home!
Love Big and Rich. They have such a unique harmony sound. Ty, I think you would get a lot out of Big and Rich "Holy Water".(because you work with a lot of troubled people) The video is amazing, but the message is special.

Their absolute BEST song!!
Deb Alexander it was written about big Kenny’s sister who was suffering from domestic abuse
the song *I just Came Back From A War* by *Darryl Worley* is a great song about what it's like for a soldier to return home
He’s my neighbor 🇺🇸
Sends chills down my spine when I hear this song. Prayers for all the veterans past, present and future.
Please, whenever you get a chance, listen to David Ball's song titled Riding with Private Malone.
Absolutely this song is amazing. One of only three songs I can think of that gives me chills. Also Wrong Side of Heaven by Five Finger Death Punch is amazing. My wife and I say if anyone watches the video without getting emotional, then they don't have a soul.
Yes do this please
Very powerful song! Great suggestion!
John Prine ''Sam Stone '' Is a powerful song about a veteran
Great song!
I love it.I love military tributes. My brother did two tours in Nam.It changed him till the day he passed away.
Oh Lord. When you think you have put it all behind you, and shoved the pain down where it won't come back to stab you, here is comes, roaring back, and shocks you back into the hell of it all. This song breaks my heart. There is no excuse for any vet to be homeless, jobless and without honor.

Could you react to Courtesy of the Red White and Blue by Toby Kieth? He recorded it after 9/11.
Justin McCain absolutely a great song!
If that doesn't get your patriotic heart pumping I don't know what will! Love T.K.
Put a boot in their ass!!!!!! Hell ya
Also American Soldier by Toby Keith is great as well to honor our troops and explain the sacrifices made not just by our troops but by their families as well.
My favorite was Alan Jackson's That September Day.
Some gave all by bully Ray Cyrus is a great patriotic song
RAY CYRUS BILL - a Biggest liberal piece of shit and daughter that every hit the airways. TRUMP 2Q2Q
Even though some do not believe in war,we should all believe in helping and honoring those who gave all for our nation.

I was born in march of 1964
My dad fought for the united states Army in WWII. He schoole myself and my 6 brothers and sisters to have respect and honor not just to our military but also for each and every human being that chose a life of service to his fellow man....from military to docs and nurses...firemen and women....police officers etc.
I loved how in the intro, kris said his name and Ty promptly said “I know”. Made me laugh!
That is Specialist-6 Lawrence Joel at the beginning being awarded The Medal of Honor! He was a 37 year old Medic during this Battle. He was shot twice, in the right thigh, and again in the right calf. He bandaged his own wounds. He had orders to stay on the ground. He defied orders and took care of the wounded. The battle lasted over 24 hours but, he went all over the field looking for more medical supplies as his were exhausted right away. He recieved a Silver Star. On March 9 ,1967 President Johnson presented SPEC-6 Lawrence Joel, "The Medal Of Honor" on the White House Lawn! The city of his birth and Hometown, Winston-Salem N.C. has a Coliseum named after Him. The Lawrence Joel Veteran's Memorial Coliseum. He was a Korean War Veteran also. The Coliseum has Memorial Tablets, Plaques, and Stands all around the outside with names of all K.I.A.s from our County from all the Wars. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetary!. R.I.P.
I wish there was a love button on youtube. God bless ALL our soldiers.
I was in the 173RD Airborne in 1967 thanks for your kind words and for sharing this song
If you want a fun Big and Rich song, try Rollin' (The Ballad of Big and Rich). Not for fun, but I love Saved as well. Actually, most of the Horse of a Different Color album is great. You should try Kris Kristofferson's Why Me Lord (the Highway Men version). If you do want to do a Veterans Day special, take a look at John Michael Montgomery's Letters From Home, David Ball's Riding With Private Malone and Citizen Soldier by 3 Doors Down
Hats off to Big and Rich for another great song I had never heard🎖💕💕💕⚡️⚡️🌹🌷🌸💐🌻. I was an 8th grader in the time of this song
Wow! I have never heard this before! This hit me hard. I am an Army Brat and my dad went to Nam when I was 13. He never talked about it.
This is the first time hearing this song and I really appreciate that you played it.
You should dedicate next Monday for Veterans Day and do only Patriotic songs. Good idea? I have plenty suggestions if interested.
I've got a few suggestions as well. Some may be the same, but they're still good songs.
Love this idea.
wendel hardy I like this idea too
I would love to see this happen
Great idea! I bet he could get tons of suggestions from us
He doesnt stop the video. Probably the best reaction he has ever giving !
Thank you Ty. Met a veteran in the ER who said he had stopped receiving insulin for his diabetes. Turns out military thought he was dead and stopped all his benefits. Took 6 months to fix paperwork and by that time he had irreversible damage. Sad.
Red tape ! When I hear stories like this, I get so angry and then frustrated because I honestly don't know the best and most effective way I could help !
Really enjoy your channel and your positive upbeat commentary
Keep up the good work
Thanks
Country artists are wonderful when it comes to appreciating the military.
If you want a song of theirs that has a much happier feel to it, I'd recommend Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy. It's definitely a lot more upbeat and I think you'd enjoy the tune
Yes yes most definitely yes lol
I’ve suggested this as well.
@@angelalunsford2005 Same. The video is a sight, too. 😁✌
Yeah Save a Horse is a cute video but they tore up that bridge here in Nashville and just laughed when they were asked to help pay to get it fixed
It's more upbeat because it's not about 40 plus Americans losing their lives in Vietnam. It's about well, riding cowboys instead of horses. That's always upbeat. I have my very own cowboy. I recommend it.
I was 6 yrs. Old outside playing basketball by myself and walked in the back door of my home. There everybody was in family screaming and crying . my moms brother Uncle Larry McCubbins Killed In Action Vietnam. 19 F-----G yrs. Old.Grandma (her son) was laying on floor shaking violently, hallucinating. Grandpa(his son) was in corner staring at nothing, with drool coming down his chin. I was 6 yrs. Old. Heres to all Vietnam HEROES . Bless you . I pray to the Higher Spirit all the time. These people who disrespect our country without sacrifice need not cross me. You have had my medicine before. Do not EVER talk down my country. I'll put somethin' on ya' Ajax won't take off. I am not a veteran. Biggest regret of my life.Thank you for letting me vent.God Bless America.......
This is a classic. It goes in my Saved category. This is why I stand. This is why I stand when our anthem is played. And always will.
I love what you do. I can tell that you're really taking in the lyrics. That's what country music is, words and a story. I think a lot of people give up when they hear the twang and can't get into the story. You were very into the song from start to finish. It was great to see
This song tears me up my dad was in marine recon he was killed in afganistand he took a ied for his buddy
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a true hero.
Proud 20 year Army Brat! Dad Veteran 62-85, VN? He won't/cant say. We WERE on small post northern Japan 68/69, and he was "TDY" a lot.. I was born 65, so 8th of November one of my faves
I had an inkling what TDY meant, but had to look it up. 😁 We "civvies," ya know. 😁
I love all music! Love Big and Rich. Love you man! My dad received silver star award. Of course a lot more medals.
I'd forgotten how powerful this song is. War IS Hell. There are several artists/bands who do a lot for veterans and military, especially 5FDP and KISS. I do feel we need to take better care of our vets. My great uncle was one of those kids who went to Vietnam and came back haunted... he never talked about the war, and was sick a jokester. He literally had me laughing at my grandmother's visitation(his big sister). I asked him them, how was it that no matter how bad things were he could always make us laugh. He put his arm around me and said "If I learned one thing in those jungles all those years ago, it was that sometimes you have to laugh to keep from screaming cause if you start screaming you will never stop". Truly one of the most profound things anyone has ever said to me, that was 14 years ago and I kinda make it my mantra. Sorry for the ramble.
Thank you for the "ramble." Your great uncle sounds like a good man.
@@inspirationworks8357 thank you, he was!
Big and Rich are amazing. They have great songs. This is one of them. Glad u like the song and u are on to an idea for the artist to have something some other CDs to honor the veterans and the ones that are serving now and to the future generation.
Amen, I wish people would not forget our veterans! It's very sad that they are forgotten
Bob Dylan, first is a poet, he set his poems to music, An unusual voice to say the least but he is never off key ever. Almost every singer out there has a Dylan song in their book, From, Knock, knock, knocken on Heavens Door, to Blowing in the Wind a song that put down racism." Positively 4th Street" is my favorite out of literally hundreds of songs. He was called , The Voice of his generation , which he declined. By the way, the longer you listen to his music, the better his voice becomes, no joke. Jimi Hendricks version of Knock, Knock, Knocken on Heaven's Door, Dylan said he liked it better than his own, Serious Chops! "Hey Mr. Tambourine Man" is rated High on Rolling Stone's best ever Rock and Roll songs. His ,"Like a Rolling Stone" was ranked #1.
I am a native Minnesotan who grew up on the "southern" part of Highway 61. Hard to believe such a treasure originated just 127 miles from where my roots are !
That would be awesome if all the artists did that. People forget how good we really have it. Freedom isn't free. God Bless
Very fitting reaction to that song! If your interested ,big and Rich took him back to Vietnam and did a little documtery about it it's a great tribute to this one man! He even met the man that was commanding the troops on the other side of the battle! It's worth your time just to watch, it's on CZcams!
“Holy Water” by Big and Rich is something you must listen to. An absolutely touching song. Very Anointed 😇
Its about time someone reacted to this song! God bless our troops past present and future!
I can see the appreciation in their face when I say thanks. tell them you appreciate their sacrifice so we can be free now
Jason Isbell - Dress Blues, is my favorite song about service. Would love to see you react to it one day. Enjoying the reactions, keep them coming.
Yes, Ty, it would be great to honor our soldiers more. Many gave their all!!! 💖
This music is witness to our history some sad and some happy but all real and you my friend are letting some witness it for the first time, Thank you.
Never watched your channel. Thank you for letting the song play out. This one song should be listened to from start to stop. Thanks for your patience and respect for those who gave their all.
I'll never forget the day my 18yr old uncle and 18 yr old cousin was drafted and left for Vietnam. We had just lost a cousin over there. I was very young but, I remember it like it was yesterday. They were not given a hero's welcome for the ones that returned. Luckily, we live in a small town and the bus took each soldier home. I'll never forget running and jumping into my uncle's arms. So thankful he came home alive but, till this day, he has problems from it. He also suffers from Agent Orange exposure.
This song by Big and Rich is so moving !!!!!!!!!!!!!! very touching. Marianna
Something to believe in, by Poison is an incredible song that also pays respect to vietnam vets. The lead singer, Brett Michaels, wrote it the night his best friend and bodyguard commited suicide in Palm Springs... the studio cut from the official video is pure, raw emotion as it was recorded the next morning. It took a LOT of takes because he kept breaking down in tears... the video is drop dead gorgeous too. The emotion on his face... gives me chills, you can FEEL what he felt.... and he's no actor, that's all raw emotion.
Try SSGT Barry Sadler’s “Ballad of the Green Beret”
riding with private melon, Arlington
You should do something by Kris Kristofferson one of the greatest songwriters ever!!
I missed the draft by a couple of years but I remember those times so well. I can’t watch this video without tearing up. What those dirty ass hippies did to our Vietnam veterans was unconscionable.
I love this song and I'm so grateful for our troops..my father was in the military and he was shot (I wanna say desert storm but not 100 percent sure )and still has the scars he doesn't talk about it much....fast forward to last year ..I care for adults with various degrees of disabilities and one of my main individuals ended up in the hospital and there family member came in and was so sweet ..we got to talking and it gives me chills to this day but this man whom I never met before in a state i just moved to ...turns out my dad fought under his command and side by side with him....crazy to think they both went into battle not knowing 20+ years down the road it would come full circle 😍
This reminded me of a song years back by Tim McGraw called If You're Reading This. I ugly cry when I hear it. From eastern NC in the middle of military bases. We love and appreciate our military's sacrifice. Now I gotta go ugly cry for a minute.
Thank you for giving respect for our Veterans!
There are organizations that pair songwriters and veterans are paired up, and the veteran tells their story and then the songwriter will come up with a song about their story. These songs are then put out there for artists to listen to and can record. The veteran will also receive royalties for the song. I have a friend who actually did this-she and her three brothers all served. One brother was killed in action in Iraq, and her youngest brother took his own life several years later- because of PTSD. The song was never picked up by an artist, but it is a beautiful song.
Great job bro!! I'll be able to start donating by next week!! I'm still her wit you bro☝️💯😎
As a veteran I can say. If someone comes up to r and says “Thank You for your service “ that means more than all my awards combined
This is the first time seeing your channel and I am very impressed with what you had to say about veterans. I am going to watch more of your reactions especially with anything doing with the military. I would like to see your reaction to The group Home Free with Lee Greenwood’s song God Bless the USA. Home Free is a cappella group. They use no instruments. They make all the instrument sounds themselves.

Moonshine Bandits puts at least one song on every album dedicated to our military.
Big and Rich are true Patriots. Country Music is full of them.
You are right, we need something to make us remember and appreciate what other people, mostly just kids, gave up so we can bicker and fight over what are often just petty problems. I love this country and I hope ya'll do too. Thanks for sharing.
I have a son in military service. This song sends fear of God thru me
This is the song that cemented my love of Big & Rich. I was born 16 days after the events of that day.
I was 2
Chris Stapleton....never wanted nothing more. You won't be disappointed.
I have so much respect for veterans, I have my Grandpa's Purple Heart and Bronze Star, also my husband is a Marine (90-98) God Bless Our Troops
Wendy we meet again😉, how are you?,hope well? I really think we need to do a family tree...........
I agree, I think we need to do one also
i love this song. you did a better job holding it together your first time hearing it than i did.. not too many people understand how special america is... theres a huge difference between fighting to win, and fighting for whats right.. america truely is the freedom fighters of the world.. and sadly alot arent appreciated ..
Another tear maker. Love this song!
God bless our veterans and their families.
We need more people to help take care of our troops. Then and now. No retired vet should be on the streets or be hungry. They did what was asked of them. God bless them.
