the soldiers in this video, the actors are all veterans.
That's awesome information. How'd you find that out?
@@RedT...TheOriginal.NotANumber FFDP said it I think.
Knowing ffdp they wouldn't have it any other way
oh wow i never knew
That's awesome
I have a five finger death punch shirt that says "you call it demonic because you hear screaming, I call it life saving because I hear the meaning" and that is so true!!! ***Edit*** Thanks so much for all the likes and reply’s on this comment🖤🖤👍🏼👊🏼🤘🏼
That needs to be a shirt every metalhead needs
Yes it does!!!
Cassie kay Wickham glad to see the metal girls out there. My favorite kind
I want that shirt lol
@@deathfenris1268 I had my aunt make it for me😊 wish I could somehow share a pic of it because it's cool looking
In a creative writing class I had to take in college we had a day where we could show music videos that told a story, I showed the class this one, four or five people were crying, the rest didn’t say a word. Not many people know how our veterans are suffering
That’s what I’m doing today and I have a feeling some tears will shed
I just posted this video to my psychology class chat. I had seen this video many times and it still gets to me.
Thanks for the report, I did Hill 875 where 154 when in and 17 of us survived. There is only 5 of the 17 left now. I tell my story to the young guys that did 4 - 5 tours of Iraq and Affy. I told them going in they were gonna get fuck over bad, now they know what I mean when I ask them about the ghosts!
@@aldavis2641 Thank you for your service sir.
@@aldavis2641 thank you so much for your service
If anyone is interested Black Rifle Coffee Company is owned by a Veteran . And hires Veterans. They are in Texas . They also have a foundation that helps Vets get acclimated .
Thank you for that info.
Jeff Kirkham is also an amazing author. By 'veteran', he is retired Green Beret. Owns several patents as well - Brilliant guy with a huge heart.
BRCC Has had my support for years now - damn good coffee and better morals to boot
I've heard of them. If I were a coffee drinker (I prefer Dr Pepper), that would be my go-to.
BRCC is based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. I buy a LOT from them, since they are a Veteran owned and operated company!!! I'd rather support them than Starbucks who doesn't give a damn about anyone but that might $$$
FFDP is a strong supporter of vets and that is why they will always be one of my favorites. 20 year retired disabled vet here.
Thank you for your service. All Americans, including me, are in your debt.
The video is great, but until Ivan Moody goes out and with all the money VETS have put in his pocket, builds housing or pays some guys rent for 5 years or something I am going to say he is a war profiteer. It's all well and good to make a video, but if you have the ability to act and do not, your words mean nothing.
Thank you for your service sir. It means a lot to me.
@@r.b.rozier9692 Are you aware of the fact that FFDP has actually been imbedded with our troops in the various "Sandboxes"? My son in law got to see them during one of his 3 deployments. You speak of monetary support & I guess you haven't really done your homework on this, have you.
You may now return to whatever slimy rock you crawled out from.
@@maggierezac5820 i stand by my statement, plenty of people did USO shows in far more hostile warzones...they just didn't need to make a spectical of it. These guys use the war to sell record. So until they open their big ass houses up or uss their tour bus or any of their other hundreds of ways they could be more active in getting these homeless vets the housing, medical, psych or employment help they need, they are no more effective than a tv commercial.
Luke 12:48 - "For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."
Plenty of reporters are actually embedded in the shit, not just hanging out back at base, you think they get half the credit these guys get?
I approve of their message, but hollow words change NOTHING.
My cousin lost his leg while deployed for Operation Freedom. He lost his battle with depression in 2020. Please remember our veterans now more than ever
The part that gets me, that I’ve never seen anyone mention before, is when Jacoby (the black soldier in the video) finds the guy on the street at the end and says to him “YOU SAVED MY LIFE, BROTHER.”
Gets me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
And the guy who was arrested earlier has the same tattoo as the Officer,but that's kinda obvious.
You're not the only one.
The message in this song is incredible. I also have strong beliefs that People Defending our country should get paid more than people protecting a football
I agree but not the government saying hey let's give a huge chunk of money to espn.. They sell tickets and people pay lots of money to watch live at home.. that's where the money comes from fans.. soldiers dont have friends only enemies I see what your saying though
I wish people would stop using this as an argument. The government pays the military. They dont pay football players.
Amen
And it should be telivised more than football. Americans would be less likely to fight each other if we could see our brave men and women fighting our enemies.
@@williamhall6651 well its pretty obvious that Americans love football more. Thats why the players make so much. Watching the games, buying all the gear and going to games. It all contributes to the over amplification of their success.
This song hits me so hard! I am a Veteran and i have been homeless. I got lucky and have met a few Vets over the years who helped to pull me out of the darkest days of my life and got me off the streets. I am so thankful to all my brothers and sisters who served. I breaks my heart to know so many of us are still suffering.
Thank you for your service!!!!!!! 🦅🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲
@@prettyparanormalcassiekayb5498 it was an honor and a privilege to serve the nation i love! I wish i could have done more. Your welcome!
@@keverc I've been a huge huge five finger death punch fan for years, and then I found out what all they do for vet's and that made me love them even more!! I had the privilege to go see them live this summer and it was a great show and knowing how they support the vet's made me enjoy the show even more!! My dad was a vet and I have tons of family that are as well and I'm so thankful for all of you, your NEVER alone!!! You have tons of people who stand by your side and would be there in a heartbeat too talk or help in anyway needed!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! If you ever feel down and need to talk, feel free to reply to this message!!!
As a vet as well, I appreciate your service to our country. I am so thankful to hear how much you accomplished and pulled yourself out of the depths that some of our brothers and sisters can’t get seem to get themselves out of.
I myself also 15 years and was homeless with my son.
My dad served in the navy for 8 years. I’m 25 and there are still things my dad won’t tell me about what happened back there. He’s almost 60 and he only gets 2 hours of sleep at night at most. Any noise at all will wake him up. It makes me wonder if something happened to him back there beyond what he’s told me. I’m about to cry writing this as a grown man because I’ve only ever seen my dad cry once in my whole life. When I was 15 he sat me down to talk about the war, because earlier that day I told him I wanted to join the service. He cried that night. That’s why five finger death punch is and always will be my favorite band.
Thank you for sharing... they don't make men men like your father anymore!! Keeping the story to himself!! AMEN to your DAD. Your story just inspired me today TY!!
My daddy was in the Navy in Vietnam. When he got sick with stage 4 cancer when I was 8 is when my brothers and learnt the hard way of what my daddy went through . He was going through chemo and was in very very strong pain meds and couldn't control the flashbacks most of the time and we would be grabbed up and sometimes beat like he was living in those moments when his was in war. He didn't much talk about what he went through but he was a proud Veteran and taught us the march songs, if your on time your late and if your 15 mins early you're still late ❤, pull yourself up by the boot straps and so on. Love your daddy. I miss mine so much.
God, after all these years....I still need a tissue for this song.....
That ending though: "You saved my life brother....Now it's my turn"
To me, that's the strongest part of the video, aside from the support for vets.
Whenever I hear this song, I'm reminded of my uncle.
When he finally returned from service, he almost immediately was homeless.
His wife took his kids, and all of his possessions, and sold them while he was away.
For over a year, we could not physically find him.
Then one day my mother found her brother living next to a dumpster in some random ally, and called my grandmother to get me and my brother out there to get him home. He stayed with us for over a year, and I had never seen someone so broken and mentally absent before, it took several months before he spoke more than one word responses to anything.
In the end, it got worse before it got better, but he, with lots of love and family support, got back on his feet, eventually found his kids, and got his life back together.
Some womans got stone heart like the your uncle's exwife
I can’t imagine what you and your uncle went through. Glad he’s found himself again
GOG BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THANK YOU FOR STANDING BESIDE YOUR UNCLE HE IS TRULY A HERO AND A WARRIOR OF FREEDOM GOD BLESS HIM AND PLEEEESE TELL HIM I AM SO PROUD TO CALL HIM MY BROTHER IN ARMS AND PLEEEESE TELL HIM THANK YOU FOR HIS SERVICE AND SACRIFICES HE MADE TO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM. HIS SERVICE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTON, BECAUSE WE ARE ALL FAMILY. A FAMILY OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO WILL FOREVER BE JOINED THROUGH SERVICE,MAY HE KNOW THAT I AM SO PROUD OF HIS COURAGE AND DETERMINATION WITH THE SUPPORT AND LOVE OF HIS FAMILY HE "SOLDIERED ON" STAND PROUD MY BROTHER BECAUSE YOUR SERVIVE MADE A DIFFERENCE AND YOUR FALLEN ONE PERSON ONE DAY AT A TIME GOD BLESS YOU
LOVE AND PRAYERS FROM YOUR SISTER IN ARMS (RETIRED ARMY COMBAT MEDIC) FROM AUSTRALIA :);):)
"SOME GAVE THEIR BEST, SOME GAVE THEIR ALL" BUT
"LEAST WE FORGET-NEVER FORGOTTEN"
It's all to common for the soldiers spouse to do that exact same thing. My wife did it to me as well. I had half my unit go through the same thing. It's better to be a single person in the military, that way you don't have two battles to fight.
From a country outside of the US this sounds like hell incarnate for a person who served in war. :( So sorry they ahve to go through stuff like this
Your faces and silence during this video speaks volume. Thank you and Semper Fi
D Robertson thank you for you’re sacrifice soldier
Semper Fidelis brother
@@jacobblunt2061 That's a Marine. Soldiers (Army) are enough like us, but we Marines are a proud clan.
I saw these expressions on my grandfather too often, ww2 fucked him up and you could tell even into his eighties, it was fresh as a daisy in his mind, respect to anyone whos served, and the utmost goodwill that you find your way in life
Oooorah devildog!
I’m literally just a 16 year old kid. This song touches me. I couldn’t imagine how much it touches you vets. Thank you ALL for your service 🇺🇸
I love how my man immediately feels the need to do something to make a difference just by reading that stats of this song. That's a good man right there
that was my life when i got out of the military. lost my fiance, she took my daughter and moved states. i became homeless no job. but i have been fighting and digging myself out of such a huge hole i allowed ( allowed ptsd and other things control me) to ruin about 5 years of my life. I am still fighting it daily to become the person i know i am and should have been . i have a shit ass truck that gets me to work sometimes and when its not operational im walking to it. . But only thing that matters to me now, is being able to provide for my daughter who i get to see very often. I dont need to eat as long as she is full!Thanks for the reaction! gained a sub!
I fell in a deep hole...the only thing that did not happen was the homelessness though I was one step from that....I was closer to suicide than I was homeless.....I have rebounded well...I guess I bounce well off the hard stuff I didnt splat so to speak...
Bryan, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!
@@jtough7499 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!
@@prettyparanormalcassiekayb5498 My honor....Thanks!!
@ Bryan Cleary: I'm a vet -- and I know cars and trucks. Wish I had a way to get to you, fix your beater. I'd make it run like a top -- 'cause I know I could.
Thanks for your service -- and keep fighting, brother. We've all got your six.
Mad respect for any veterans of any wars. No matter the nation, no matter the beliefs.
GhostDrummer Even Nazis?
Dylan Chiesa do you think the Russians were any different once they started defeating the Nazi’s? Or how about what they did to their own people? What about the Japanese as they raped Nankin? Hell, even the British and Americans did some atrocities during that war; but you focus on Nazis.
I’m not sympathetic towards any country when it comes to the horrors of war. The people who strap up and head out aren’t always the same as those commanding. Are there some messed up people? Sure. But that’s everywhere.
@@dylanchiesa602 Real Nazi's that fought in ww2 are all dead pretty much there was lists of high risk individuals all marked as war criminals most were executed when America came in and raided their camps and bases. All nazi officals and criminals of war were executed on spot when found (soldiers arrested). So even making that argument is stupid because it's actually illegal to be a Nazi in Germany. Any Nazi flags are banned in Germany and idealizing Nazi's is warranted for arrest. America is actually the main issue with what is what we call Nazi's today which are Neo-Nazis new age new generation of Nazi's fueled on outdated toxic and politically unjust mindsets of setting standards that a white male with blue eyes and blonde hair is the superior human and sadly that stance still exists because fucked people raised fucked children that found hitlers ideology. I myself would be seen as superior by that mindset and it digusts me because my family is from Germany originally and fought against Germany in ww2. I still have my great grandfathers gas mask. The hardships the German people faced should have died when that war ended not for some sick individuals to think was good enough to bring into the 21st century in a new country.
My Grandfather is a veteran from Vietnam, and I remember my Grandmother telling me that he almost took his own life because of the unspeakable things he saw while in service and I still don't know what he saw and what stopped him from taking his life, but I'm grateful that I still have him. Every time I watch reactions or listen to this song, I think about him and what he went through. To every veteran who is or isn't currently serving, thank you for your service.
22 year retired here. I could hear this song a hundred times and it would still get me.
I can't even listen to this song without getting emotional..
Did 2 tours in Iraq & searched houses for living and deceased after hurricane Katrina. Lost some close friends during my time in & some from suicide in the years after.
All of this when I was just a 20 year old kid.
The crazy part is I miss the shit out of it... Had the best & worst times of my life during that period.
Couldn't have said it better myself brother. This song makes me sit and remember my buddies I lost in Afghanistan.
Tear up every time I hear this song.
I can't even begin to imagine the pain you've suffered, but I can offer my sincerest gratitude for your service, sir. I salute you and your comrades and may they rest in peace.
Ty for your service.
Same brother miss it everyday, stay strong it gets better
One of the few songs to break my heart every time I hear it, and to make me get chills and teary eyed towards the end of verse 2.
Same here. My father was (Is, once you are you never aren't) a Marine. He was a marine for 11 years and then in the air Force for another 11 and now secret service for the past 30 years. So needless to say I grew up in a military home and time's weren't always great, But my dad definitely is instilled everything he learned into me and my older brothers (Youngest of 3 boys) and I can't even put to words how proud and thankful for him I am and the US military because that was his only real father figure.
This video always hits me so hard because the stats are so true, I've grown up always asking "Why hasn't Uncle 'PutNameHere'?" And him an my mother would always tell us some story of where they are and not let us know that they were homeless and then only a few days/weeks/months/years later we are at a funeral for them and it's always heart breaking, you never get use to losing someone, especially to suicide; when the thing that they did wrong in their life seems to be signing up to help protect our country. It's never fair... But neither is life.
This video always reminds me of that and always brings me to tears. This is the first time I've actually seen a veteran react to it though. And I really hope he dose what he said "I need to do something" every little bit of help is needed to help our soldiers to get back on their feet once they get home, and keep them on their feet.
im a 2 time combat veteran of the army 2 purple hearts and a silver star
Everybody, next time you see a homeless vet, offer him/her some food, sit down and chat with them and let them know how much you appreciate them.. They deserve recognition for the things they went through. I did and the man broke down and struggled to even say “thank you sir”. I’ll never forget that Vietnam vet and the stories he told me.
"You saved my life brother"
For all the vet's who watch this video, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!! C'mon everyone hit that like button below to show how thankful we are for the vet's!!!

@@kacktusbryan1535
Love the title. But the song is about sergeant York in ww1. Love the Iron maiden vibe from them. History lesson in a song.
All the way 2-501 Geronimo!
I cry every time I see "Five Finger Death Punch - Wrong Side of Heaven".
Это очень сложная песня ,а с видео рядом вообще не оставит ни шанса не заплакать. Честь и хвала всем ветеранам ,всех войн .Вы в наших сердцах.
Vets should always come first. Always.
Heartbreaking...I'm so glad you guys did this song. First time I saw this video, I cried -- both out of anger, and because I felt helpless at the situations my brothers and sisters deal with.
Same here
I couldn’t agree more, anytime I hear the song or watch the video I think to myself “what if that was one of my family members that were homeless or worse? What if they never made it home” and that really hits hard. I’m thankful for the veterans that have served and our brothers and sisters and mothers and even fathers who are still out there fighting for our country. Any military should come first including the vets. But those are my thoughts.
I was dating a vet first time I watched this. He was slipping deep into PTSD issues at the time. I cried at work. I still cry.
Just a lot trivia: the band collaborated with their fans via social media to create the list at the end of the video.
They also designed and sold a special edition jersey during this time and donate 100% of the profit to support various veterans organizations.
I am a Veteran, of peacetime service, I was an ER Medic. My hubby served for over a decade and spent 2 tours in Iraq. This song gives me goosebumps every time. I have seen many of my friends(Fam) cry at this. Very touching.
“YOU. SAVED. MY. LIFE. BROTHER.” The beginning of the most touching scene of the vid imo.
Every single time I watch this video. I weep for all of my brothers and sisters who hold the burden in.. my family tree is littered with WW2, Vietnam, Operation Desert Storm and Desert Shield memories. Thanking a veteran sometimes triggers and let your eyes be the judge before you react. Veterans should never ever have to worry about a home, worry about their family, worry period. Our flag means a little more to a veteran.
When he finds his old buddy and says you saved my life brother....shit gets me everytime
Same here!!!
Yep.....
Same dude, same
Yep, same. There is not one time where I have watched this and not tear up at least at that point, if not before.
Yep...
This video is so hard to watch, but seeing a veteran react like that to it brought me to tears too. Y'all have a new sub from me
Thank you, sir
I'm a vet, this video got my sub as well, this particular video gets me every time I see it but to see their reaction let me know I'm not the only one who gets the feels watching this one.
My father and all of my uncles are veterans. They all died young carrying the burdens of what they witnessed in battle. My heart breaks at how poorly our Veterans are treated. They deserve much more than a flag and a headstone at their gravesite. No veteran deserves to be homeless or looked down upon. They are all heroes in the truest sense of the word. May God bless them all!
There is no excuse for how we treat our Veterans!!PERIOD!!
Depends on if we are the we, or if you mean someone else is the we. I know how I treat us, and how the others that work with us treat us... Not real focused on excuses so tend to just work out solutions!
Thank you for your service, and the same to all those commenting, who also served! We are grateful!
This song always makes me cry. My dad is a vet and he's one of the lucky ones with a great job and a family
My grandparents raise me and my sister, and I always wanted to ask my grandpa about the Vietnam War but didn't want to bring anything traumatic up. Then when I was ~12, we went to DC and went to the memorial wall. My grandpa didn't get within 3 blocks of it before he broke down and turned back. That was the only time I ever saw him cry; that day told me a lot about what he went through.
I did two years in Iraq - 15 years total as a US Army paratrooper - this always brings tears to my eyes to know all my friends who died in country and after when they off themselves - it hurts brothers - thank you for your service brothers - you will always be my brother if you served
I can't listen to this song or watch the video without crying, even now. As a veteran, I have been several statics that they state in this video, and it pains me to see that nothing is being done to improve this. 5FDP has always supported the troops and they have helped me through some tough times. Check out their cover of "Gone Away" (originally by The Offspring. They have a great way of painting a visual image of someone who suffers with loss and PTSD in that video. I can attest. Patriotism is very trendy it seems, and it appears that the trend wore off around 2010. I joined in September of 2000, and was med out in 2009. Almost half way there. The VA has gotten better since Trump has taken over, but they still have a long way to go. Thank you all for your service brothers! No civilian will ever understand. OIF 05-06 & 07-08 11B all the way!
Hello hello hello hello. Being a veteran myself of operation freedom. I have lost more buddies of being casualties of war. I hope you guys stand on your word and are going to do something and help. With that being said I want to say thank you for your service. Five finger death Punch are big contributors to veterans. They do what they say and say what they do. Last but not least I want to say this,there are some that give and then there are some that give their all. Keep on keeping on
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!
William Michaels thank you for your service
I'm in high school currently and people don't even say the pledge of allegiance anymore. We still stand but nobody says anything. My dad was a veteran and I say the pledge out loud everyday. God bless America and God bless our vets
My brother a former marine and I had a car shop in so cal. We took in so many homeless veterans together and on our own and there where always more. I love in Vegas now and FFDP are bad ass out here. More than just words and token action. Glad you got to see this. Everyone should.
As a Iraq veteran, I appreciate you guys reacting to this and bring much needed awareness to the treatment of veterans after our service is completed. Hailz gents 🤘🏼🤘🏼
So I'm a vet and this is one of my favorite videos to show people. They always get choked up. I was throwing a party once and my friend and he friend got there early and we were listening to music and I showed her this. Boy she was balling her fucking eyes out. Pretty sure this song got me laid. But yeah. This song just fucking hits you in the gut.
thank y'all for reviewing this. I wouldn't be able to do it, The shit makes me cry. I spent 2 years on the streets. I can recall digging cardboard out of dumpsters to sleep on, so the snow didn't melt through my clothes and freeze me. A vet friend of mine hauled my sorry ass off the streets. He was a Marine, I wasn't, but that didn't matter to him. We were Brothers as far as he was concerned. I wouldn't be here today if he hadn't. Dude saved my ass.
Glad to hear you are doing better my friend.
TBI has change my life. PTSD has altered my reality. But family and support has kept me together. It's a long road to recovery but love and support will help me and those affected heal and become stronger
people in the UK who want to help our veterans, Help for Heroes, The Poppy Appeal and the RAF Association are all good choices,
If all else fails, hit one of our vet groups up in the US and we'll do what we can.
this song hits very close to home for me. i wanted to tell you that you are all (veterans) appreciated and loved by guys like me.
Two generations of veterans, from Korea and Vietnam, never even heard the "Thank you for your service" stuff which is said today.
First of, thank you for your service, sir.
Second, this song got me into ffdp.
Third, those numbers are about half of what they are today.
3 your a lie
You best check your self on number 3
@@topgunner58 ok i will. I could be wrong
As far as some statistics, yes those numbers increased dramatically. Some declined and some increased. Veteran suicide rates increased for instance. To roughly 1 per hour
Watching this hurts. I'm a veteran -- 1972-75. This video made me feel guilty that I haven't done much for my military brothers and sisters that came before and after me. Thank you for playing it.
Never to late. Battle buddies,brothers an sisters are in need.
Remember: stand with me. An you'll never stand alone.
Even if it's just spreading the word. Every little bit helps.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!!!
My younger brother is a vet. He spent a couple years in Afghanistan. He had/has ptsd. It’s not as bad as it was when he first got back. I was able to take him to a 5FDP concert. He is a fan and thoroughly enjoyed it. After hearing some of the things that he would talk about, this song gets to my feels. I can never express the gratitude I have for all vets for their service. Thank you all who have served.
I was on the streets for 2 years ending 2019. I met so many vets out there. The worst story I have was this one man, Vietnam veteran, staying in the same shelter. One leg was amputated below the knee, one hand was missing, blind in one eye. He started getting rot in his amputation. Went to the hospital, came back, went back to the hospital, came back. Then the rot started in his remaining foot.
Short story, they ended up amputating that foot. Finally, after all that horseshit over the course of a year, he got housing in a home.
He and another vet, good friend of mine, were in that shelter for almost 10 years off and on.
“Gone Away” and “When the Seasons” by Five Finger hit hard too. Amazing songs.
Gone Away is a cover though. Point still stands but the original has more meaning too me so that's the version I prefer. Death punches is good too though.
xMascheratax I like the death punch version better personally. The music video gets me every time.
When the seasons change lol
Hollowed Thorn it’s a good song
"Gone Away" original song by The Offspring. Great song..
This song rips my heart out.. my husband is a vet.. ptsd, tbi, and various other issues from serving... Reach out people... they need your help.
Lynn, please thank your guy for me. I was Navy.
@@jamescurfman3284 thank you for your service and I will let him know.
@@grannyLynnsCreations :)
Army vet here. OEF, OIF, and GWOT. Seeing bands like this speaking up for fellow soldiers and veterans is amazing. I’ve seen more of my brothers put in the ground after they were out than while in. It’s time for our country to take care of those that sacrifice everything so the rest can sleep peacefully.
that video makes me want to cry every time i watch it, thank you veterans for all of your service
20 year vet here. This song brings me to tears every time I hear or watch the video. I've been fortunate to never be on the streets but I feel for every single one that has.
🇺🇸 Thank you for your service guys. Our troops needs all the help they can get.
22 a day! I ride with a non profit organization called rolling thunder chapter 3 southern Illinois. This song makes me cry 😢 and thats hard to do. I have ptsd from a physical altercation and was almost killed! Thank you for your service!
My father went decades with medical issues and undiagnosed PTSD from being in Vietnam. He never had severe issues and would never seek assistance because he felt since he wasn't infantry and was stationed at a base others deserved the help and he didn't. He finally listened to us a few years ago and joined a local veterans group and began going to the VA. It turned out many medical problems he had were likely from being exposed to Agent Orange just from being in country, especially the area he was stationed. Now he wishes he had gone years ago, but is thankful he eventually did decide to go.
There is a special place in hell for the 26 that disliked this video. FFDP will always be my favorite, there is a video on CZcams of FFDP when they step on stage in front of a packed audience and start out with national anthem. It will give you chill bump. Thank you to all of the veterans and my you all find peace.
It's up to 55 now. Some idiots, eh?
Ok. I’ve seen this video, and listen to this song many of times. And, as a Marine Corps Vet, it gets me every time. My prayers go out to every Veteran. You are not alone. We, all Veterans, are a family. A Band of Brothers. And, my Navy brother, I see you. I see your eyes. I know. I know......
I love you guys. We need more homes open to these heroes... more people familiar with the veterans PTSD, this has to stop. we owe our life and so much more to them, y'all. 💔
I'm a Combat Veteran and this song just breaks my heart everytime I hear it. I wish I could do so much more for my fellow Veterans.
This is one of the most powerful videos, I choke up and cry like a baby every time I see it. Thank you for your service...keep on keepin' on and God bless...
This song along with the video for coming down.
TBI is something seen a lot in football players too. The research is new but growing rapidly. Impacts to the brain change the chemistry permanently.
Thank you for honoring veterans.

Five tours between Iraq and Afghanistan, 0331 USMC, lost so many brothers, I will never be normal by today's standards. I served 99-07, I was a 21 yr old kid shedding blood in a war that old men started. I sacrificed my body, my mind and my spirit and came home to a world that was strange to me. R.I.P SSGT Justin R. Whiting, Company B, 3D Battalion 5th SFG. Let us not mourn your passing but let us celebrate your life. God loves His warriors.
I must've seen this music video hundreds of times since its release... and almost a decade later "you saved my life, brother" still has me sobbing
I spent 3 years on the street, and still deal with PTSD. I was finally able to get on disability and off the streets. MM(N)2 George Armstrong, USN
As a former marine I'd like to thank you boys for your service this video gets me everytime
Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Thank you for your service.
This song and its meaning hits hard every time I hear it. Army Disabled Vet here, glad to be able to call you a brother, Stan. Thank you for your service.
Thank you to all of you who served our country. You are appreciated and I hope your all doing well.
I'm a veteran and this video never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
Thank you for your service!
WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN. CAUSE NO ONE ELSE WILL. I dont care who you are or what you did in the military you need to vent hit me on Facebook message will fahey
William Fahey ur a good man
I have many members of my family who have put their lives on the line for this country, and I have respected and looked up to them all my life. I physically can’t join the military for medical reasons, but I am working to be a Physical Therapist. Then hopefully one day if everything goes to plan after college is done I would like to open a Rehabilitation for Wounded Vets who can’t afford normal PT. Then double it over as a soup kitchen. It would be a dream come true if I could support the people who served our nation in any way possible.
As a veteran this song is very moving to me. Last night I saw this band in concert with another veteran from a group on Facebook we had never met before, both of us have P.T.S.D. and have contemplated "checking out early". He made a post on the page that he really wanted to go to the show but has issues with crouds and basically needed a "battle buddy". So I got in touch with him and we procured tickets from VetTix and I made the hour and a half trip down to meet up with him and drive him to the event. We got along great, had an awesome time at the show and I picked us both up a shirt. Funny thing, was I took my old lady with and on the way told her that with this day and age you never know what's going to happen, so be prepared, pay attention and if anything goes down that this is what she needed to do. On the other hand, the other vet's daughter was continually checking up on him for the same reasons and we got a kick out of it... Some habits die hard and always covering your 6 just doesn't seem to leave you, along with that attention to detail by being hyper-aware of your surroundings. It takes just one friend... One person can change the entire world for someone, I have and continue to strive to be that person for someone - everyone I can. Most don't understand what we go through, blind understanding can help immensely, true understanding can move mountains. Look for the signs, not everyone needs hospitalized, granted some do, but mostly a friend with an ear and no judgement works wonders, be that friend, be that person for that someone, anyone. BTW that group is called the Disgruntled Veterans, check it out brother, it's a place to vent, talk crap, reach out and connect with like-minded people, they also have a charity called the vets ranch that helps homeless and/or addicted vets get clean, housed and back to working learning a new trade if necessary on the ranch as well as getting healthy mentally and physically with the goal to re-enter society as a functional and productive person with the skills to cope and "fit in" rather than fall to pieces, brothers helping brothers (sisters too). It's a great community even just in it's online presence, helped alot of people, myself included. I fully support the cause and they can use any and all help, even if it's just joining the group and lending an ear when someone reaches out on a post, plus we share some funny $h1t on there too. Thanks guys, keep it up and sorry I went on forever.
I am a huge fan of 5FDP and have seen this countless times and I am in tears of sadness, shame , and rage!
I have never heard it said more perfectly...we can't just be ourselves!!
Thank you for your courage and sacrifice!!!
I want to help you guys in anyway possible
He says immediately I have to do more; I have to do something. That's why vets are who they are; cut from a different cloth.
Mark Higashimura RIP. Oct 13th, 2008.
Guys, don't fail your buddies the way I failed Mark. Don't turn away when they change. Be there, love them, talk to them.
CIVILIANS: quit saying "thank you for your service." You to thank us? Take care of the vets that have lost limbs, eyesight, and sanity. "Thank you for your service," rings hollow in the ears of the vets who are doing well, much less the ones that have been forgotten.
A nation is judged by how it treats its veterans.

I love that FFDP brings veterans issues into the light. They donate a lot of their earnings to helping these service
Thank you for your service Stan!
Hey guys, just caught your reaction.
'73-'76 here,Army Airborne.
My spirit and my soul are best described by looking at a picture of the BOMBED OUT OKC bldg.
Homeless for 35 years- always on the edge in my apartment.
I never came home. No contact with 3 grown kids,10 grandkids. My heart has always been broken- since 18 years old. I'm 66 now.
Still sad
Guys this is the first video I have seen by you. I am a retired Vet who has been overseas and seen my share of shit. I just want to thank you for....well really just talking about this type of stuff and giving others an avenue to speak. Sometimes thats all a person needs. Including me!
Thank you for your service, great reaction. I am a veteran, 9( the USAF. Great reaction!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻🤘🏻
I can't express the amount of love and respect i have for those that served currently serving and soon to be serving. THANK YOU!
Retired Navy here. Very lucky to have spent 4 years in New Orleans, 4 years overseas and 2 years in Norfolk before transferring to the reserves and retiring from there. Thank you to all those who have served and continue to serve
I just came across your videos this morning by chance and I love it. I am a disabled veteran. Thank you Stan for your service. One of the reasons FFDP is so big on veterans is because 2 of the band members have dads who are veterans plus they love this country, obviously. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your service. We all must do more. Watching you watch this brought a flood of tears.
To all the Vet's of that fought for us. Tia and Tio an other service men and women thank you
7 showed to my Grandfather's funeral & all LIFERS
This song puts it in perspective of the struggles that our vets go through when they come home from a war. My grandfather was a vet in the army and my father actually did 2 tours in Vietnam. He almost died by getting shot in the back twice and catching malaria while there. It breaks my heart that all these vets are fighting in a war to keep us safe but yet are treated very poorly when they come home. Most people don't even realize that when these vets come home most will suffer from what is now called PTSD but back then it was called 'Shell shock', I know my father suffered from it but he had the support of family to help him through it but a lot of soldiers didn't receive anything.
To the Veteran watching this video....thank you for your service....sincerely....thank you!!! And to all veterans out there...thank you so much for your service
I'd been wondering when someone was going to do a video like this, having a veteran reacting to this song
Stan's reaction pretty much sums it all up
I thank you for your service Stan
I've had many family members and friends who've served throughout all the armed services.
Those who were in combat...every single one of them were screwed up in one way or another.
My husband went in the Marines in the early 70's and fortunately never saw combat.
In his early 20's he became a Machinist and has worked for the last 40 years doing so.
He worked for years machining and installing the Rhino Clad that enclosed the Humvees to protect soldiers from IED's.
He's machined the 5 inch barrels for Naval ships.
He's now machining the propulser parts for our nuclear submarines to maintain their stealth.
He loves what he does and loves that he's doing his SMALL part of helping our soldiers stay as safe as possible.
He's going to be retiring within two years and the company he works for can NOT find people with the experience to do the work he does.
He's constantly trying to train people to relieve the pressure of being one of the few that are doing this work.
He's told the guy he's training now that he's being trained to replace him so he's hoping he'll step up and work harder to learn.
If veterans need something to keep them feeling like they're still helping their Brothers, machinst training needs them!
There are many companies that need qualified and skilled machinists to keep our military operating at it's highest level.
My husband already knows when he retires that he'll be retained as a consultant because the shortage is that serious!
My heart goes out to all those who never made it home alive.
To those who made it back alive but feel as if they have no home to come back to...just know that there are many of us that feel America is more your home than ours.
You fought for that right and deserve to be treated like the heroes you are.
BOTH of my sisters married into the military, one of which was in the army, THANKFULLY all three have come back. I commend the band for backing and bringing attention to the dismay that many veterans are faced with.
I am a US Navy vet and I was fortunate to receive a college education using my vet benefits. Was able to get a good job, buy a home and give my sons a decent life. This song tears me up and I cry every time I hear it. To all vets and current enlisted, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love of our country. You are all heros. USA should do more for it's protectors! 💕🇺🇸💕🙏💕
NW Army here to represent... Another great reaction. 👍👍👍
Thanks Tony!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!
Song hits me hard every time, but seeing your reactions was worth it.
Thank you for your service.
