To Lance Corporal Dave Hart, USMC, who left us on Hill 881, Khe Sahn in 1967. My friend, you are not forgotten.

My dad's favorite song, played over and over. Served in Vietnam. Passed in October . My heart is broken papa, I love yoy.

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. - Abraham Lincoln

My father and my uncles served in the second world war they have all passed and this song brought tears to my eyes, remembering my father sacrifices to keep us free. Miss you, dad. ❤️

We were soldiers film everyone should watch. Thank you for your sacrifice!

When i took my Dad to West Point, we heard them play and sing this song, it was only the second time i saw tears coming his face really crying . I asked him why the tears, he told me it brings back memories of his friends and comrades he lost in both Korea and Viet Nam

Vietnam Vet here... beautiful..tears..

Silver star 3 bronze stars 10 purlple hearts 26 commendation medals. Rest in peace

I was never called on to serve; but I dearly respect and love those who did. We are blessed by those who have "stood on the wall". I truly pray that our wonderful country ALWAYS remains worthy all their sacrifice. God bless America, and, please, America, bless God.

I'm a Canadian and I love my American neighbours. Bless you all.

To my platoon Sgt. Ron Sager, I miss you daily. We thought we were invincible. On day in May in Cambodia we both learned we were wrong. You left us, and I carry the burden daily. I miss you old friend. May God watch over you. Your platoon Leader, Tom Henderson. 3rd Plt, “D” Company, 1/5, 1st Cav.

I am South African but I sometimes listen to this song and end up in tears .... Jesus Christ is Lord alone 😢

"They shall not grow old, as we who are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them."

As a soldier, I can't help but shed tears....to all my brothers and sisters who gave all....I honor you!!!!! To those who criticize and insult those of us who served...you need to thank us....for without us...you would have no freedom!!!!!! HOO-RAH!!!!!!

24 year U.S. Army Veteran of Vietnam, Cold War and Desert Shield/Desert Storm. I’ve lost some good Soldiers and good friends. I will never forget them and the scarifies they made. HOOAH!

Sitting here thinking of my friends that didn't make it back home. They are all in my heart and it still hurts. May they rest in peace.

"People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." George Orwell. God Bless All who serve their country with honor.

My dad was a Korean War Veteran. He passed away this past February. This song was played at his funeral. Not a dry eye was to be found.

Deeply moving. From a British Veteran to my fellow veterans across the pond. God Bless America

As a Royal Navy Veteran of the 70s I send Much Respect to all Servicemen/ Women everywhere.

God bless you West Point Cadets. Thank you Lord for the courage of those who gave their lives that we may enjoy our freedom on this Memorial Day.🙏🥹

As a Viernam combat vet , I'm seating here crying, I love you guys

How beautiful is this? Love from a Scotsman. ♥💙

To my fallen Vietnam brothers, you are never forgotten. You are gathered with all o our fallen colleagues from all our wars. You were our best, we miss you. Sleep well.

I hope to be honored with this song at my passing.

To all our Service members who recently lost their lives in Afghanistan. "No more pleading, no more fight, no prayers pleading through the night...just Divine embrace and Eternal Light...in the Mansions of the Lord."

I did not know anyone who served and sacrificed at Normandy. I do know that I owe them my life and the lives of my children and grandchildren. I will be eternally gratfull to them all for what they accomplished on that day..

What a sad and yet immensely beautiful piece of music. God bless all of America's fallen heroes. May they shine on in Heaven.

God bless America!

My Dad & Uncle were Pearl Harbor Survivors. They made the Navy their careers. They passed within 6 months of each other in 2007. This was sung at their funerals. It brings me to my knees. In 2016, I was alone in the shrine room on the Memorial, sobbing. A Marine guard came to Stan next to me. I will never forget these men.

Lyrics: To fallen soldiers let us sing Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing Our broken brothers let us bring To the Mansions of the Lord No more bleeding, no more fight No prayers pleading through the night Just divine embrace, Eternal light In the Mansions of the Lord Where no mothers cry and no children weep We will stand and guard though the angels sleep All through the ages safely keep The Mansions of the Lord

Salute to all those who stand up against evils, terrors and tyranny. Be faithful to freedom and righteousness in God.

My soul was moved to a place I never knew..God bless all who served and are now serving.

"They will soar on wings like eagles: they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint". Thank you all who serve our great country.

I was a soldier. As were my brothers, many of whom are no longer here. May they rest in eternal peace, and may I one day join them in honor.

This song grows on you. Simple at first listening, it gets deeper with every play. I saw the movie when it came out. As a Vietnam Veteran I can relate to the sorrow of fallen comrades and their surviving loved ones. We maintained our honor and dignity through it all and I remain proud to this day. 4th Div

To the memory of the 13 we lost in the last days of our involvement in Afghanistan; you will be missed. You were on a righteous mission and taken from us too soon....They paid the ultimate price to defend our nation and extend the reach of freedom beyond our shores. We cherish the legacy these warriors leave behind and commit our resources to support the wounded and bereaved.

I’m Japanese I was deeply moved by the performance. I was moved to tears. I hope that war will disappear from the world.

I have never been a military man. But who cannot shed a tear on hearing this very emotional song. Beautifully sung

To all of us who have served , Honor is our badge.

As a combat veteran of Vietnam this song brings tears.

This song always brings me to tears.From a war widows son.

This tune moves this American to tears. It's a heavy burden to bear when one understands the true cost of our freedom. But it is one I proudly bear with pride in my heart and honor to those who've paid the ultimate price for our freedom. God bless them all and God bless America.

Two military films really moved me. After 35 years in the military, Saving Private Ryan and We Were Soldiers are probably the most sad and realistic movies I've ever seen. RIP LT GEN Hal Moore and CMSgt Basil Plumley.

19 years of deployments and so many I have seen passed...God bless everyone....the race is done and won...I will never forget...

I'm an Aussie from British background.. and I made sure that when I was travelling thru the US I visited Arlington and the memorials of Washington DC.. a very moving experience...

I think of my uncle who fought in Vietnam and only told me only story of his service while in Vietnam, I was 14 when he told me he never said a word to a single soul till he told me in 2002 two weeks before he was called home and I think of him daily and it is a huge honor that he told me right before he died.

thank you all warriors past and present who served this great country. you'll never be forgotten!

As a veteran this song makes me emotional every time I hear it. Beautifully done!

I was a U.S. Army Cadet Nurse in World War 11. This song makes me weep !

I think of my dad hearing this song. He fought in Korea . He fought for me ,my sister, and mother . He fought cancer . But died when I was 13. He fought for his country and against tyranny. He fought the good fight. I'll see you soon Daddy I love you.

I think of my dad when I hear this song he passed 9 years ago he was a Navy corpsman in Vietnam

I cannot hear this piece without weeping. If there is a finer expression of pride in grief, I don't know what it is. Bless those who have served, honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and comfort those who mourn their passing.

Thank you from a British Veteran, Beautiful piece of music, great voices.

I love this song and remember it in honor of all soilders who went and died for thiscountry. My Stepfather who passed and was a Construction Engineer, during WWII in Europe and taughtme honor, love and respect for this country, my family, duty when called and protect all thiscountry has stood for since we became a nation. Today ourchildren have not been honest nor loyal, nor respectful to our ncestors and the laws they set for to guide this nation in loyalty and by God's orders. They are becoming, godless and decietful in their nonrespect and loyalty to thisnation and citizens of this nation.

I think this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard! In my nearly 87 years on this earth, and I enjoy all good music!

51 years ago I received an invitation from my Selective Service Board that said my service was needed. I answered the call and did my patriotic chore. I was proud to serve my nation which has given me such great opportunity. We Americans are truly blessed among nations. I am glad some young people feel that same way today. Semper Fi!

Brought a tear to my eye and memories of friends killed in action. I'm old and I'm looking forward to meeting my fallen friends on the other side. "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."

I am not much for religion but my father was a veteran of three wars and on the day he died I prayed for his soul. It rained the night he died but after the rain the blanket of stars seemed to grant my wish that he would rest in a safe place. This song is a testament to his passing.

Here again on Memorial Day 2024.

Can't listen to this and not tear up thinking about my brothers and sisters that have gone. 😭

To my 56 brothers who made the ultimate sacrifice on the field of battle. Not a day goes by I do not think of them. A Troop 3/17 Air Cav, RVN 67-72

To all my brothers and sisters in all wars thank you for your service you are not forgotten.

Remembering Lt. Joe Miller, 5th SFG. KIA in Loc Ninh, 1968. You're never forgotten, brave young Lt. Joe.

He makes wars to cease in all the world,He breaketh the bow and snappeth the spear asunder...I will be exalted on the earth for the Lord of Hosts is with us!

Can NOT believe this POWERFUL tune was written for a movie in the 21st century. I BELIEVED it was ancient!! RIP my brothers that sacrificed all in the fight to take Fallujah!! I'll never sleep in peace after. HOPING you will in Valhalla!! WEEPING rn remembering LCpl Velasquez sand SSG Martin. Died horribly to free those few Iraqis from Saddams tyranny. Worth it, but bittersweet. I will remember you, and others, until my last breath!! Swear to GOD!!

How can I say how much I like this song? 😂😂😂

This makes me cry with emotion...We live in such a beautiful country...Always think about those who have passed/currently employed defending our freedoms. To have individual choices in our country is truly special and a God given blessing. The Statue of Liberty stands tall in remembering all those who came before with their dreams not allowed in other countries. Listen in gratitude 🇺🇸❤️

Yo all who died serving this great nation.thank you

In a time when recruiting struggles, our nation fights the ‘Non War’ with so few who have volunteered to carry the Cross of freedom. We salute you cadets, soldiers, and musicians who cry out to be heard through your sounds and dedication to our Country. God bless you all. Bob Cocciardi former resident at quarters 421 d, West Point, New York. ❤️🙏🏼✝️🇺🇸🙇🏽‍♂️

Ty to all servicemen who have served in any branch of the military and in foreign wars. This song makes me cry every time. To my Grandfather Pop Pop Lewis who died this year at 99 years old and fought in World War 2. Love you all!!

To honor those that have given all for this great country.

My dad fought in the Second World, graduated from West Point in 1950, crossed over to the Air Force, flew fighters in both Korea and Vietnam. He retired after 24 years. I joined the Air Force and spent time in South East Asia. I retired after 21 years. Almost weekly I come back to pay tribute to my father who passed away about 5 years age.

To all our American brothers and sisters who are veterans of the war in Vietnam, from a British Army Veteran to you all I say, Thank you for your service, 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸

To my fallen Great uncle Charles George. He was 18 years old when he joined the US Army to fight the Korean War. then on November 29th his company commander told him and his friends to capture a prisoner. when they were finished their assignment then both him and his friends were ones to cover the withdraw. out of nowhere a Chinese soldier threw a hand grenade at their trenches. my great uncle was close to the grenade he shoved his friend and move the other one out of the way. On November 30th 1952 he passed away from his wounds and he was awarded the Medal of honor. Rest in peace great uncle Charlie I never had a chance to meet you. Charles George Born August 23rd 1932 Cherokee North Carolina Died November 30th 1952 His medals were Medal of honor Purple heart National Defense United Nations Medal Korean Service Medal Bronze Star Sgi From Cherokee North Carolina. Also am his great nephew James George. I was 2nd Lt in JROTC god bless America and God bless the families who lost their loved ones who died in the wars from 1775 to today and again Thank you for service soldiers.

I lost such good friends at the height of their youth in Vietnam. And yet, by the luck of the draw, I have lived such a full life with a wife of 51 years and three grandchildren. I am so, so grateful to you--Fred Holjes, Chris Clearwaters, Joe Eubanks, Carter Howell, and others. Every time I listen to this, I tear up. How can 310 people be so hopelessly heartless as to give this video a "thumbs-down"? One thing is for sure; not one of them ever served.

This is hauntingly beautiful. God bless our troops all over the world.

As a retired US Army soldier, and the son of another, and a devout Catholic, I love the line "We will stand and guard, though the Angels sleep."

This hymn should be sung by all nations who celebrate their freedom, paid with the lives of all those brave souls who stood ready to defend all that they loved and believed in. Sgt Kimble Jury (RAAF) retired.

So beautiful!!! Yes, our liberty comes at a very high price!! My dad was in WWII---he retired. My nephew is retired Navy. I am so proud!! Our Nation is not what it was 5 years ago!! I pray!!!!

To Captain James B. Hansard, Infantry, 25th Infantry Division; 23 October 1968. Forever 28. Forever my Brother. Forever my Hero. I have done my best to live up to your standards.

When I hear this song, Taps, Hymn to the Fallen, and Amazing Grace, I am always moved to tears. I was a Soldier, young and strong. Now I am old, fat and gray of hair. I miss my brothers and sisters in uniforms, especially those lost in battle in Iraq and died by suicide at home. I don't know if their sacrifice was worth it. Time will tell. But their families and friends never doubt for a second they would rather have them lived a long and good life. We hold no one responsible for our loss, our government who lied to us nor the enemy who took their lives. But when the drums of war start, stop and think. Is this really a just cause worthy of the most courageous among us? The American military will answer the call and fight. Just make sure we put our youth into noble causes because anything less robs them of life for nothing. Iraq Vet

As an Army Helo pilot in 1966, I can only imagine what my Brothers went through in the Ia Drang. I feel and pray for all of them every day, even now. Thank you.

Peter Kreeft says that there is not only music in Heaven but also Heaven in music.

Tomorrow, July 5th 2020, marks the 49th year since the passing of my beloved grandfather James J. Piper who served in the US Army during World War I. I grew up around him my entire younger life until I left home at age 22. He was wounded twice by German machine gun fire in the last great offensive of the Great War, the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. I have his Purple Heart certificate conserved and framed along with some other precious memorabilia. We had a very special relationship as I was his first grandson. Pap was a 'tough' customer from the old school. He was raised rough - went in the coal mines at age 10, and had black lung. He also got a dose of mustard gas while in France over a hundred years ago. May his memory be eternal. I will never forget you, Pap, and think of you often.

I come from a military family, many of my family served in the Army, Marines, USNavy. Ist World War, Second Word War , Korean Conflict and I am VERY PROUD to be a member of that FAMILY. Each time I hear this song I cannot stop crying. GOD BLESS all THE MEN and WOMEN who have sacrificed so much to protect our great American country.

To all my brothers and sisters who serve our LORD JESUS may mercy and peace follow us through the world 🌎

I served as a MACV Infantry adviser in Ba Xuyen Province (the Mekong Delta), Vietnam from 1967 to 1968. I lost two friends over there; LTC Mort O'Connor and LT Jeff Ham. Mort was a USMA graduate, and Jeff graduated from our Temple University ROTC detachment at which LTC O'Connor taught. Great men! Great Americans! This song is an anthem to their dedication and patriotism. May all who we lost over there Rest In Peace. Welcome Home my brothers and sisters.

No man can hate forever. I sincere hope that this 2sd Cold War ends soon and our two countries can be friends once more. Too much has been lost to hatreds and much can be gained by friendships. 93 year old WW II Soviet veteran of the Eastern Front. I tried to forget everything about the military (and being successful at that, but seeing this brings back painful memories) after seeing so much death and destruction, so much pointless hate and asking myself "why are we fighting each other"?

Thank You All For my Freedom. God Bless!

Our broken Brothers let us bring, to the Mansions of the Lord. 🙏

Bravo! Breaks my heart every time. Rest well my brothers. My watch ends soon and then at last. Valhalla.

For ALL of Columbia's Fallen... I love you all..

To my cousin, SP/4 Richard James Rhodes, KIA ....Chu Chi, South Vietnam 31-Jan-68. Rich was to rotate in two weeks. He was an Little All American Offensive Tackle. NE Missouri State College. ( Now named Truman University. ) Rich was a fine Christian and an incredible man. God Bless you Rich.

My father served in the British Army (Northamptonshire Regiment) in the immediate post-war period. He was a bandsman and a fine trombonist and euphonist. Later in life he was a conductor and arranger for brass bands in the Northampton area. This performance brought tears to my eyes. It's beautiful.

Heroes never die if we remember their sacrifice and pray The Lord for them

My Darling Brother a Royal Marine vet passed away with a smile on his his and at peace , stand down sleep well till the last parade semper fi
