I remember the day I left for Marine corps boot camp. In 1992 I was 17 years old. I was told I would never make it . 13 weeks later I graduated and earned the title UNITED STATES'MARINE. It was my proudest moment in my life past or future. I became a scout sniper then went to recon the to force recon. Then in 2006 I became a member of the elite unit MARSOC MARINE RAIDERS. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2015 after 23 years of service at the age of 40 I was forced in to a medical retirement because of injuries sustained in combat . I'll never forget my experiences that the Marines gave me good or bad . IAM ONE OF THE FEW, THE PROUD A UNITED STATES' MARINE. RETIRED GUNNERY SGT USMC SEMPER FI

To those who disliked, they do not know what the ultimate sacrifice truly entails. It’s fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters left behind at home. It’s heartbreak, pain, and mourning. It’s knowing that “greater love hath no man, that he lay down his life for his brother” John 15:13. Thank you for this video! “In omnia paratus!”

Share this with all your loved ones that have or is wearing a uniform 🇺🇲

As a grown man of almost 42 yrs... I cried when I saw this video and read the quotes. God bless all of the men and women who died protecting this country. My heart goes out to all of you and your family.

[TheMarineRapper]

Happy Veterans Day to all those who left their home to protect their family and others. Special thank you to the fallen 13 service members who lost their lives fighting for our freedoms. You will never be forgotten. This one for my people FREEDOM FIGHTERS!

Afghan vet here. This brought tears to my eyes. You all did such an amazing job of this piece of art.

[budlight]

I was there in Kabul as part of V1/8, my squad had been relieved 22 minutes before it happened, I appreciate with all I have the effort put into making this, because one of them could have been me

[lordie]

I am sobbing. Momma of two veterans. Luke served 11 Bravo OIF
and Jarrod served USAF stateside. We honor 3 young soldiers from our neighborhood who gave their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq. Never forgotten…ever🙏🏼
ONLY you guys could bring this to life in a pure and genuine way. Grateful to you all. Thank you for your service 🇺🇸

[angiepeters]

My dad is a veteran. 5 of my 7 brothers have served in the military (including the “ DI” in this video!!), and I married a Navy Corpsman. They’ve all fought in Iraq or Afghanistan and im so very blessed that they’ve all made it home safe. I’ve watched this probably 100 times and it gives me ALL the feels every time. To say I’m proud of my military family is an understatement.
Ps. That count didn’t include our grandparents and great aunts and uncles who have also served. Thank you for this amazing song and video. @mjhanks

[tireland]

Bro this hit so hard. Not just musically but emotionally. I feel a mix of pride and hurt. Pride for what my predecessors did for us and hurt for those who will never hug their loved ones again. Y'all did an unbelievable job with this. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[jack]

RIP all of the Freedom fighters that died serving our country THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

[joshlegare]

To have watched this whole thing grow organically and develop into this epic tribute is nothing short of awesome!

[craigroberts]

I never comment on anything. As a combat vet, seeing the Afghan withdrawal hurt. Reading the part about their life starting and ending with the war hit me hard

[commissaryarrick]

To all my brothers and sisters who left home to never return. Rest easy we've got your watch.

[PeterMolnar]

So proud seeing this all come to life. Thank you all who helped us make this what it is.

[memelord]

May those who had fallen to protect our freedom and country find the peace and rest that they deserve

[thesilentportrait]

This video was absolutely one of the greatest things I have ever had the privilege of watching .... so much emotion I loved every second of it so much motivation you gentlemen killed it

[AidylasiaFirestar]

over a year later, and still brings tears to my eyes when I hear this song.

[RiverBirchFarm]

My family is made up of four generations of military vets including my husband and myself, I am brought to tears over this. My heart goes out to the 13 fallen soldiers families. To all my brothers and sisters, thank you, because you are the reason I am still here and I hope you all have a Happy Veteran's Day. Go Army!!
