I served 23 years US Navy and this song has always been a favorite of mine.

My grandfather served in the navy in the late 50s. And to this day I still remember his bravery and his service to our bevloved country.

[LasVegasUrbanTreasureHunter]

Our history is the blood that flows through the arteries of our nation... Without it we would have no future... With the distortion and manipulation of our history taught today, we should never apologize for telling it the way, it really happened.... The dedication and knowledge of our nation’s history, gives to those, that would other wise, never know the truth.... In memory of all who gave their lives to protect the freedoms of our Great Nation. Thank you to All Who Gave Some, and Some Who Gave All.. God Bless America.

Eternal Father strong to save ... God, I want to dedicate this song to the sailors of my country, who drowned with the submarine Nanggala 402 in Indonesian waters. My God, they are now on perpetual patrols guarding my country's oceans. Stay with them, have mercy on them. Jesus my Lord, I beg all of this with my tears.

I remember the moment I first laid my eyes on The Legend; The USS Enterprise CVAN-65, the First Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carrier. I had just graduated 1st in my class as an Aviation Boatswain’s Mate, Fuels; in New Jersey. Meaning I would go to Vietnam and refuel aircraft on her magnificent flight deck. I was so proud it gave me chills. I love America, both my parents loved America too, and served in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. Now, 50 years later, I have many friends who served alongside me and are friends on social media. I saw a message today from one of my Veteran Shipmates, he said THIS SONG "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" gave Him chills in "Boot Camp, " so He joined the Navy Blue Jacket Choir after He heard it, so He could sing it at church. It is because of His faith, honor, and service, that I write this brief note. [True Story] ••• {don't ever forget the human element of life, very important} ••• Amen.

[kangaroo]

remember any and all who have served, no matter the branch. most of our politicians are absolutely stupid and forget the sacrifices made for our country.

[errolflynn]

We are sorry... so very sorry. That we have allowed our politicians, our peacemakers, our moral and righteous leaders, FORGET what you have done.  We should have done a better job of making the world and the peace you fought and died for, worthy of your sacrifice. I believe we have failed you.

*Greetings from Germany!*

FLETCHER SAILORS HAVE THE MOST FUN !!!

[aliyardimoglu]

Beautiful, but Navy Hymn concludes with "Amen"

[ricardoguedes]

ELES E ELAS NÃO MORRERAM, POIS VIVEM NA MORADA DO ETERNO, EIS QUE ESTAVAM NA TRINCHERIA DA LIBERDADE, E DA PROTEÇÃO E AMPARO A ISRAEL E OS JUDEUS.

[johnwhite]

Nice harmony, no offense, BUT this needs to be sung by an all male chorus for its full impact, sorry.

[johnhough]

The music speaks for both itself and the deceased, and others serving.
No need for that intrusive narration.

[Brianchristenson-gw]
