    This song brought me to tears. I remember coming home from Afghanistan on my last final deployment before leaving the Corp. I became a heavy heavy drinker. Drank to rid of my demons and bad memories in my 10 years in the service. I was hurting people around me. I cussed at everyone for trying to help me. The final straw is when I tried to commit suicide by hanging with a suicide note pinned to my shirt. My GF came home just in time to cut the rope down(I was already hanging there). I'm now 3 years sober and regularly attend VA group meetings.

    A family with a long line of service stretching back to the Revolutionary War, and as the last of my family name and a veteran myself I would say we all deserve our portion of respect. But it's the combat vet that takes the hardest hit, to include their families. Scars that never heal, memories that never fade, and a heart that never shrinks. Heard this song may times and it always struck a chord with me, but I never felt the connection till I saw this video. To all my brothers and sisters out there. Salute!

    Man, this video is very powerful. 12 years I've been home from Afghanistan, and I still struggle, sometimes in ways I'm not even aware. My wife has loved (not tolerated) me through the deepest and darkest moments of these last 12 years. It took me nearly 9 of those years to even acknowledge that something was different (not wrong). PTSD does not mean we are broken, although to us and others it seems that way. It's a natural neurological response to shit we've seen and done. I like how this video focuses just as much on her love and patience with him as much as it did him. Unfortunately, this is a G-rated version of how it looks sometimes. Thank you to everyone who are patient and understanding to your loved ones because I know from outward appearance it does not seem they are worthy sometimes. I feel not worthy almost daily. 🇺🇸

    This song and video hit me square in the heart!!! After being hit with a hand grenade in 2003 and then being over prescribed antipsychotics instead of someone just listening to me talk I turned to drugs and vodka. 3 years ago I met the love of my life who has given me a son and a daughter since then. It hasn't been easy by no means but I've been clear headed and clean for 6 months. This will be our first dance song at our wedding 100%!!!! Thank you for bringing light into the darkness!!!

    I’m reading the comments and most seem to be a veteran telling their story. I give a different perspective. I’ve been a Marine/ veteran wife for 21 years. Been through moving every couple years, to deployments, war and everything in between. The hardest thing to do is trying to love someone through their pain. I always tried to make him talk to me, but no matter how he tried, I could never understand what he had seen and been through. He never drank when he would come home, sometimes I wished he would have, maybe it would have calmed him down. I would try to get him to go to the VA, but he would say he didn’t need to. After a few, for lack of better term, breakdowns, and the last one almost causing me to reach my breaking point, I talked him into going in to talk to someone. I’ve been lucky, he is/was the strongest person I know. He fights his demons every day, and according to him, it’s not easy but it’s worth it. He knows I will always try to love him enough to drown out the bad, but on the days I can’t, I will always throw him a life vest to bring him back up. Semper Fi!

    It really is true. It is not the same here. I appreciate the song and what it has done for Vets. Cant even listen to it without crying. It is hard for us to talk to people sometimes. You feel separated, numb and just put a face on so everything seems normal. I have lost friends in combat and friends due to suicide. I wish the entire country would stop asking what is wrong and instead just offer a hug, a warm embrace, a kind gesture. Too many of us are left out to hang and I dont speak for all Vets. But at the end of the day I would rather have a conversation, maybe a shoulder to cry on. Instead of just constantly being looked at sideways. Thank you Morgan for bringing this song and continue the path. Semper Fi

    I served 20 years in the US Army. Been through 5 combat deployments, seen my brothers die, injured and I have been in some deep shit. I made it home and I carry a guilt everyday that I made it home and not them. I struggle every day but I have a beautiful family that I am thankful for. They help me each day to love the life I have. This song hits deep but speaks the truth. Yes we may seem abrasive, even called dicks and assholes, no one understands it but us. I love my country and will do anything for her. God bless all who have served and all who continue to serve. Remember everyday on this earth is a good day.

    How this song can change.
    Listened to this years ago and loved the brilliance of the heart behind Wallen's voice. If he only recorded this single cover, he'd have done something so great that it's worthy of saying he did something amazing in his life. An artist who created a masterpiece. I still feel the same way.
    Since then, I've become a founder of a non-profit. Not sure it will ever be successful, but the loss of my friend left me with a choice to try and help others not be taken over by the dark of depression, or to do what most do and give a bit here and a bit there, and hope that I can make a difference that way. Watching such an amazing soul be ruined by PTSD, depression and likely a list of other things... is heartbreaking. He took his own life last year (2023) and ...
    Watching this video now, floored me. First time I've watched it since my close friend left. I'm one of the lucky that didn't get exposed to the trauma that others did. I did back to back tours, but far from danger. I have nothing but respect and remorse for those who have been through much, much worse. I have my own traumatic events, my own depression to deal with, but I feel I'm among the lucky that can offer what I have to those who need it. If I was allowed one favor to those who read this far? It would be that you do the same. When the times come to keep walking, or turn back and lend a hand... if it could one day make a difference to just that one person, give what you can.

    I didn’t serve. I have PTSD. My childhood was awful. My mother left my dad when I was a baby. I grew up with a stepfather who was an animal. My “parents” subjected me to things no child should ever experience. No disrespect to those who have served, not at all. Just sharing my experience. I was made to count to 100 while I was “spanked” with a wooden paddle with the word STUPID spelled on it in drill holes. My back side looked and felt like cooked bacon. I spent my days at school bracing my legs because it hurt too much to sit down right. Anyway… I get this song on a personal level. I’m almost 50 now. It does not go away.

    A lot of people don’t realize that ptsd is part of how something breaks you down and causes trauma in many shapes and sizes. The army specializes in this so they can shape you into what is more useful for them, to then throw you away like an old toy once they did what they needed to with you. This can happen at home as well with things that want to scar you for life. The thing that helps more than anything is seeking a mindset that nothing in the past matters & you want ultimate happiness in your life looking forward. Working with yourself with the help of God to strengthen your mind, and realizing that you can only make your best years ahead of you if you want to.

He loved her and when she had an intervention, he got clean and has been since. It’s not easy but this woman stood by and for her man. When he sings “but I sobered up, I swore off that stuff, forever this time” his fans cheer every time. It’s on the album Southeastern and is the best album you will hear in a long time.

Every day is a battle to just survive. I lost the one who used to "Cover Me Up" to early onset Dementia, which has absolutely devastated me. I don't know what to do or how to cope, but somehow I get up and go back. I used to think that life had a meaning but now I I think life is shit!

    My favorite song! I'm married to a disabled Vietnam veteran recovering alcoholic who relapsed and has now succumbed to even more addictions. I've never given up on him even when he gave up on himself - until now. I've rescued him repeatedly and gotten him to a hospital twice that they said he would have died had I not intervened. He demands I leave him to the life (or death) he chooses and the verbal abuse, financial ruin, and lack of anything remotely similar to being grateful to be alive other than obtaining the next fix compel me to realize that as much as I have tried, I will never be his hero and I must leave him in God's Hands. For all I've been through with him, I realize that I will never know the horrors that many of these brave souls have suffered. And though no words could ever express adequate appreciation, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

      @Linda McC I too loved a man that suffers from PTSD and no matter what all I tried or done had to face the horrible reality this past January that I would never be able to hold him together or be all that I wanted to be for him. He is the love of my life and always will be without a doubt I'm sure, as we also do share the most amazing human being together born in October of 2009 our son Brayden, and I can only put his life in God's hands now and just hope and pray with all that's left in my soul that He won't let anything bad happen to him so he can still at least be the amazing father that he is to our son...this song has always brought me to tears and now seeing this video it only proves exactly how much none of this is to be taken lightly because the man I fell in love with for 12.5 years battles the same demons day in and day out to this day and he served in 2006 and lost one of his brothers in Iraq in 2009 also and he will never be the same...I begged and I pleaded with him multiple times and even more so last year at this time to please find the help he needs no matter the cost I was willing to do it with him and be by his side as I always had been I told him I would drop whatever I was doing right then and take him wherever he needed to go that our family and his love and his life meant that much to me that I would go to whatever lengths I had to just to save him and our family! He refused and I held on longer than I knew how to anymore until January of this year, hardest damn thing I have ever had to do was let him go but he had already let me go long before and I know I don't understand it all and never will but he still means the world to me and always will no matter what I just hope one of these days he will be happy that is all I want for him in this life and I just fear he never will truly be happy again in this life bc of what he went thru and is still battling to this day but I do know that I can never ever thank him enough for the sacrifice he made while serving this country and is still sacrificing every single day that he wakes up and realizes he is still living in the hell that is PTSD, not only that but he gave me so much more than too, the most amazing and sweetest child a woman could ever ask for and the opportunity to be his mom and is hands down the most beautiful and precious gift that man ever could have given me! I love you Brayden Leevi, Momma loves you son more than my own life 💙 and u r what makes living the most precious thing in the world to me and also falling in love with your dad the best thing I could have ever wished or prayed for too.
      BKD I know you don't think I do bc of everything but I do love you more than u will ever know and always will thank you for your courage to stand up and fight for this country and our freedom bc u knew u couldn't just sit and talk about it and not be about it all those years ago 💖 You did what so many people wouldn't and couldn't do and for that you will truly always be honored and appreciated even after you are gone...you still are and always will hold a special place in my heart and will always always be mine and Brayden's HERO ❤🤍💙

Everyday its hard. Every single day you do not know what to expect. If people had to walk in either shoes for just one day they would look at the entire world differently.

I just couldn't do it anymore. I still feel like I abandoned him somehow. But, unless someone has lived with a person with severe PTSD, they could not even begin to understand how hard it is on everyone involved. I had two children to think about. And, their safety and happiness will always come first. As it should. My heart goes out to people who live with this struggle. It's not their fault.

    Anyone that is being negative of this video and making fun of it. Has never had a family member die from agent orange in Vietnam, suicide of young service members. Upcoming kids wanting to serve our country because they want what they were taught. I can’t read many comments, but I saw some negativity in many. Jason’s might be better, which is fine, but this video, gives a glimpse of what military deals with. We don’t see what they see. I don’t know why people are confused about the video. PTSD is real. I have never been overseas and fought their battles. I have been fortunate to not have to as I have many ancestors and family members that have served, lost their life, friends kids. My son in law joined. I know the marines or military don’t ever want thanks. You do it because you have a calling for it. To everyone that served and sacrificed, their wives, kids, etc thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Remember 22 a day. You made it through sorry for my rant.

    My 35 yo brother was drafted in March 2022 to join Ukrainian army since Russia invaded. He spent 7 months at the different bases and then his brigade was taken to the southern front. Within 30 min my brother lost his best friend as their large convoy was spotted by a drone and hit. He lost almost all his friends in just few months and was heavily injured himself. On Dec 11, 2022 his trench was hit by a mine. Brother got 8 wounds. Shrapnel missed his heart half an inch and landed in his lung. Was 14 degrees . Brother crawled 20 yards to the next trench and after a minimum help his buddies had to lay him under the bush until the artillery attack stopped. He could hardly breathe at that point since developed a pneumothorax. Then all the wounded and killed had to be carried by feet 2 miles back where the pickup was. My brother survived. 4 months at the hospital & then few months of recovery. He has changed a lot

    This is definitely my favorite song (even though it's a cover). I showed my mom this video because my father is a vet with really bad PTSD. She cried because this video portrays what its like living with my dad. He is a remarkable man, that's for sure. Although he struggles at times he tries his best to be the best dad and husband he can be. After showing my mother this video she told me that the reason my dad started going to VA meetings was for me. As his PTSD became worse our relationship took a turn and he just wanted to make things right with me and try to be a better father no matter what he had to do. I definitely regret a lot of things I have said to my dad especially when his PTSD was set off. I wish I could have spent more time with him and talked to him more throughout high school and now that I am in college I don't have the luxury of seeing him everyday.

    Love this video. I understand completley both sides of the PTSD issue, first responders, soldiers in combat, rape, child molestation, etc. the more than many catagories. But please understand this when I say that veterans, mostly those of us who have been in combat have crossed a line where we took life!!! It is not the same as as other PTSD types, it's a line that no matter how hard we try to forget, try to go back to when we were normal, we will never make it back! We can only start from where we are and move forward. For those who have been in combat - taken life, saved life only to lose it right before us, you can do what I did. I turned to the LORD OUR GOD, I put it all, and believe me it was a lot in the hands of Jesus and let him fight those inner demons as we often call them, it's His job, and He is glad to do it, you have only to first believe. Then go and get help, there's plenty of it out there, the VA, private sources, but damnit get off your ass and go and get the help you need!!! I did a total of 15 years between USMC, US ARMY, we who stayed in Europe have nothing, no VA help, only for those who stuck it out and retired, otherwise nothing. That's why I wrote to you about Jesus, He is everything, healer, counselor, shrink, everything wrapped into the guy who died on your cross, when He sat at the right hand of the Father, HE BECAME YOU!!! So when the father looks at you he sees Jesus His Son and you. Remember the part where Jesus spoke the words " I AM IN THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER IS IN ME " " YOU ARE IN THIS THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT, ALL THAT THE FATHER GAVE JESUS HE GAVE YOU, REACH OUT AND TAKE IT, IT'S FREE, THE HEALING BEGINS WITH HIM, THE COUNSELING BEGINS WITH HIM, YOUR SHRINK WAS PROVIDED THROUGH HIM " Remember GOD made some men first responders, doctors, lawyers, HE made us the shooters of our generation, we did our jobs well, it was costly, nervey, downright disgusting at times, but we did our jobs well. Now it's time for some healing, it sits on you, you take the first step, and I guarentee you HE will lead the way, ALL THE WAY, AND HE WONT NEVER STOP OR GIVE UP ON YOU, EVEN WHEN YOU GIVE UP ON YOURSELF, HE WILL KEEP GOING STRONG AND FINISH THE MISSION OF HEALING YOU AND BRINGING TO THE PLACE IN LIFE HE WANTS YOU TO BE, A DEVOTED HUSBAND, FATHER TO YOUR KIDS, RESPONSIBLE SON OR DAUGHTER, MOTHER TO YOUR KIDS, BRINGING YOU TO BECOME A LEADER FOR THOSE WHO HURT FROM WAR!!! I counsel many people this way, also MUSLIMS, BHUDISTS, both military and civilians those affected from war in Europe, and those I have helped from Africa. I won't quit because Jesus never gives up or quits. He never gave up on me, and I know He never will. Take the plunge and believe, your family will see and know the difference in you before you will. Thanks, sorry it's so long. richardsoncliff64@gmail.com

    This song hit me hard. I'm not a soldier. So thankful for our soldiers. Me and my cousin Derek would cling to each other as we tried to make it through our childhood. We were and are brothers. We were beaten and broken down. We were so close. Derek at age 15 was put through violent and sadistic trial he broke started huffing paint trying to kill himself . I tried to stop him he was my brother he left me in the hole to fight on my own as he left to walk the streets as a sombie. Try to help he would just run farther away. Today I don't know we're he is I catch myself thinking and praying for him. I've never gotten over it and that was 25 years ago. I'm just thankful now for every day that God his son Jesus has saved me I know there were times I shouldn't be here, but God!
