This old Vietnam veteran is not ashamed to say that this song makes me weep. Still love my country, still believe in who we are, and we should never forget those who gave all.

[edwarddailey]

The soldier does not fight for hate of the enemy or what is in front of him, but for love of his brothers and what's behind him.

Scottish by Blood.
American by Birth.
Soldier by Choice.

This song means a lot to me. I am a 100% permantly disabled Veitnam vet.
I have been like this since June 1972 and have never been ashamed one second or less.
I will take my Purple Heart, my jump wings, and my pride to my grave.

My father just died last week, he was almost 90 years old. He was in the US Marine Corps. He fought in the Korean War and was involved in the Chosin Reservoir conflict. I miss him already, I will miss hearing his stories of his days in the Corps. It is like muscle memory, I keep thinking I can see him again, go to his house, call him on the phone. But no, he is not there. I miss him so am going to move in to his house and live there. I have his Purple Heart and other things from his time in the Marine Corps, Rest In Peace Dad, you have earned

This is actually about a 16 year old farmers son from Cromarty Scotland who fell at the battle of loos in September 1915 having lied about his age to enlist. He was in the Black watch. That's what my grandad told me about this song .

[THEBLANK]

Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for his brother.

My Daddy was a Green Beret in Vietnam and did some very heroic things. He gave to this amazing Country. He loved this Country. He just went to be with Jesus on 2/8//23. He was my HERO.

[duncancallum]

This song was sung and composed by the Grandson of a Scottish soldier who died in WW1 staying with his wounded compatriots and died defending them .

To the Marines who lost their lives in Afghanistan this past week. Rest easy, my friends. We will avenge you.

[KApache]

This song never ceases to crush me yet fill me with a sweet sad pride. God Bless All my fallen Brothers and Sisters. You are Never Forgotten Warriors 🇺🇸🙏

58 years ago today, the 8th of November, 1965, they were soldiers, and young. Rest in peace, all ye 58, 000 who died in Vietnam✞

[vicgarcia]

35 years ago, 37 men died on the USS Stark. I listened over the satcom radio as the entire situation played out. From the warning to identify to the call for help. The sound of the voice of the young Officer of the Deck as he called for help will never be forgotten.

Here’s to those brave men who died on May 17, 1987.

May they be granted Eternal Rest.

I am the son of a Viet Nam vet who made it home. I came home from Desert Storm. My son has returned from Iraq and Afghanistan (3 tours) so far. Currently traveling 2 days after Memorial Day to visit him at Ft Benning where he is a Drill Sargent. This song always touches my heart.

[JoshuaDixon-wcxd]

All gave some, some gave all. Thank you United States veterans. I have a pretty easy life in our beautiful country because of you

[pookerville]

This is the real reason why we celebrate Memorial Day. It's a time to honor the fallen of our nation.

[kristenrowe]

My dad is a Marine that is guarding heaven’s streets. ❤️🙏🇺🇸

For my Father;
Wilson, Kenneth C.
SN; 1064067 USMCR
Chosin, 1950
No Boot Camp for Reserves, only
his monthly drills, and 2 2 week summer camps.
Wounded 3 times, plus severe frostbite of his. He was awarded the Bronze Star w Bronze V, for Valor. He was one of the first Americans, to face the Chinese Communist in battle. They were always outnumbered 5 and sometimes 10 to 1.
Every member of his fire team got hit, but no one died. He told me "that was the miracle."
He died, in his sleep at age 84.

My father was a vietnam vet. He died from the chemicals our government used. Ĥe will always be MY hero.
