I am an Army vet that was deployed, I’m married to a Marine combat vet with severe PTSD that effects every aspect of our life. Sometimes it’s the hardest thing to know that you can’t make it better and all you can do is be there.I’m honored to have served in uniform and with some of the most amazing people anyone will ever and in some cases never know . I’m blessed to be there for a man that tells me he’s broken and better off alone. This is the first video of yours that KZfaq recommended and wow! Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability, and for your service.

Thank you for your service. I'm sorry you had to experience that. Nobody should have to go through the trauma of war & losing comrades. hope you're doing well. much respect my man

This had me in tears! Been to Iraq twice and it was real hard adjusting to civilian life. This will help bring some awareness to friends and family.

Hi! Thank you for your service. Husband is a vet, Iraq. There was a surge of patriotism for a minute within music, but it was only a minute. For someone to speak to the aftermath in the mind of a soldier, for PTSD to be a topic, for veterans to be recognized in the time that this came out is a rarity. It’s about the real toll, on the soldier, his adaption to regularity, his perspective on the family he’s returning to, and the family’s perspective. There is a lesson here for the spouses and children and other family members: feed them with love, keep them safe within their “home”, cover them up. On average, 20 US Vets commit suicide every day. Awareness is step 1.

I am a vet and this video hit really close to home for me

Very accurate. We all have demons bro. As a disabled combat veteran, I want to say thank you for your service and everyone that's has and will serve. I lost a few brothers in combat. A few more when we got home to PTSD. This video hit hard. Respect bro.

You dont need to apologize for nothing! Thank you for me and my families freedom.

My prayers go out to all veterans.

You are doing the best you can to still keep people safe. To help those who need it, those who need to know they are not alone, that your here to reach out to that you know just what they are going threw, not just someone who thinks they do and has never been in the fire. They need you keep putting out content on this channel.

From one Vet to another, thank you for being real. There are days I find myself in dark places. I lost brothers too and things like this video really hit me hard. (As I sit here in tears) please keep the channel going. Families and friends just don't understand.

Thank you for My Freedom. Thank you for your sacrifice. God Bless America!! ♥️

Never say your sorry brother. I feel yah never give up never think your brothers don't have your back🇺🇸

Truthfully there aren’t words besides thank you. It’s a debt nobody can repay you for. My utmost respect and gratitude to you, and all the veterans who see this.

I can say music, and simple sounds can change me from having the best day, feeling great, then flip into a distant, angry person.

I'm at a loss for words. The deepest love for you brother 🙏 Thanks to all our vets. ✌️🙏

Please don’t apologize for your feelings !!!!! Our vets need to see a fellow vet showing emotion and admitting to issues !!! Thank you ! My dad is a Vietnam vet , 18 months in country !!! I grew up watching my father survive PTSD !!! It’s awful to watch ! My husband was a Marine . My son is in the Army. We need to do better checking on and being there for our vets !!! Thank you again for sharing!!!! Thank you for your service as a soldier and now reaching out to help ! God bless !

This hit home brother. I've seen the short film myself and had the same reaction as you. Keep fighting and keep doing what you're doing. The rest of us appreciate it.

God bless all you veterans no amount of love could show you how thankful for all you've done. ❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I'm a former 18D and this song hit me hard bro I feel like I can't connect with a woman now she just wouldn't understand but I pray I find one that will.

In a relationship with a man who’s an Iraq war veteran. Over 30 years later and he still gets triggered and struggles. 😢 I see it with my son who’s an Afghanistan veteran. He’s not who he was before he went over there. I know I can never understand what he goes through. All I can do is love them through it and keep supporting them any way I can. I pray for all veterans but especially combat veterans. God bless you for having the courage to do this channel. To give these veterans a voice in their silent struggles. ❤🙏🏼 I hope this finds you well!

Thank you to all who have served for our country . We love you and appreciate your sacrifice there and at home.

I wasn't in the Army but the Navy but I had a few people I was friends with in the Army and the Marines that were in combat zones than can attest to all of these things being real. And they all say the same thing, they just want the pain to go away and that they don't understand why it's happening to them. Breaks my heart for people who have ptsd. I can't even imagine their pain.

Thank you to all vets! What you sacrifice and go through is unimaginable. You deserve every type of kindness and understanding. I will forever be grateful to you all. I never meet my grandfather due to ptsd. It was one battle he couldn't win. My heart and soul goes out to all who are suffering.

I have several Marines in my family and I know the other side of this pain. Thank you for your sacrifice for our country. Let me ask you, how are you doing this day?. I know it's one day at a time. I was really moved by your honesty and letting us in your world. I can't say I know how you feel but I can say, you're in my prayers. I walked in a room to see my dad ( Vietnam) 2 tours, trying to choke my mom. Then gently my mom talked to him to get him out of that frame of mine. So I ask you again, are you ok?

I've got a really special connection to this song. On my first deployment, I was going through a really depressing time and I was really struggling with it. I was about to spend a night sitting by myself and one guy I worked with saw that and brought me along with him because he found a guitar. I sat in a room with like 6 other dudes I didn't know and we all sat in silence while he played and sang. This was the first song he played and it helped me a lot that night. I'd never heard it nor had I been a fan of country music but it helped me a lot. Turned me on to country too which is nice

My daughters bf is currently stationed in Japan for another year and a half. Pray daily for him and when he comes home. Thank you so much for your service.

Warrior care network. In all the help I’ve had over the last 16 years they help me the most.

This country owes each and everyone that serves respect. Thanks again.

YOUR VALUE IS BEYOND ENORMOUS IN THIS COUNTRY AND TO THOSE WHO ACTUALLY LISTEN TO YOU! love you sir , never apologize as you're a damn man with a ton of love and respect for others, we can see that!

I’m a Marine Corps veteran (Iraq 2003) and i have to say how true what you said at the beginning of the video. “It’s not the person refusing to let go of the past but the past refusing to let go of the person.” Oorah

Thank you for your service! God Bless You!!! I lost 3 friends in Afghanistan. This hits close to home for me too! I feel the pain!!!

I Just wanted to say thank you for everyone's service and from one vet to another i feel you we will make it through, sometimes we just have bad days but we are all here for each and everyone one of yall.

Dude genuinely brought me to tears. You are such a genuine person it shows through so bright

I cried my eyes out when I saw this the first time my dad is a Vietnam vet and he still struggles with PTSD

I just want to say THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE,can't speak for anyone else but I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOUR SACRIFICE,THANK YOU BROTHER ❤️

I appreciate the sacrifices that you and so many others have given. We have got to stop sending men and women out to these experiences that serve no one but the elite wealthy few making money from conflicts. We are damaging the best people of this nation and then offer little to no support if they are fortunate enough to make it home. My heart breaks for you and you will forever be in my heart and prayers 💜

I get this man I served myself and this video really hits home

I worked at a VA outpatient clinic for 20yrs. You would not believe the stories I've heard and the many that I had to call stat nurse on because they show up at my window saying they were suicidal! I resigned in 2021. I hated leaving my Vet's but I could not mentally take what the VA was doing to the employees and the Vet's! I found out a lot of other employees are leaving because of this! My Vet's are my heart! God Bless you and thank you!

Saying thank u for your service doesn't sound like the right thing to say!!it doesn't seem like enough!!I am thankful for all vets and all they have done for our country!!U give up your lives,your families,your sanity to serve our country, and when u come home u r treated like crap and u don't get the mental help that u need!!I do hope that one day things change and y'all r given the appreciation and respect u deserve for all u have sacrificed!!I just found your channel, keep up the good work and I will pray for u!!🙏🙏🙏

Hi!! I'm a veteran myself. I come from a family of military. Thank you for your service. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Just stumbled across this video. I’m not a Vet, just a proud American who is thankful to those who defend our freedoms day in and day out. Love you brother.

Just found your channel in my feed and first Thank you for your service will never be enough! I'm not a vet ( couldn't enlist do to medical reasons)but I come from a long line of them. I tried the next best thing I could think of which was the medical field. If any vet, or active soldier needs a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, or voice to listen to PLEASE REACH OUT, I WILL BE THAT. I've spent time with a lot of vets and reaching out does not make you weak! It makes you STRONGER for the rest of your brothers and sisters that need you! To all branches past, present and future. THANK YOU!

❤❤❤ Thank you...a debt I can never repay you and others for what you have given for my freedom. May the Lord hold you in His hands. Praying for you and other Veterans.

I agree. this is the best way to explain to people what i go through.

My buddy served in the Army 04/09. This stuff is real. I have cried with him.

I wish every veteran could come home in peace. Instead we come home in pieces. The government won't give us the glue we need, and we don't know nor can tell those around us how it all goes back together.

To the brothers I've lost I'm sorry I couldn't help, to those alive I'm here breathing one breath at a time just like you, and a phone call or text away.

Life changes everyone... Combat vets get changed faster and in different ways than almost anyone else.

Army vet here and Jesus Herbert Christ a gut punch I wasn't fully prepared for. I watched your reaction to JMM Letters From Home and seeing that your a fellow vet thats deployed its nice to see an unfiltered vet like me reaction to stuff that affects all of that have deployed . I appreciate ya brother.

My brother is a new marine and ima be there for him when ever he needs and when I can talk to him I’ll always be there 🖤

Don't be sorry. U handle it the best way u can . God bless and I hope to feel better soon

I’m so sorry that our vet’s have to endure that kind of suffering. I can not imagine. I have PTSD for other reasons, but nothing like this. God bless you for taking on that suffering for us, all of us!

My Dad is a Vietnam vet. Vets hold a special place in my heart. God bless each and everyone of you. I subscribed❤️

I watch this video every so often, just to remember. I am a Vietnam Combat Vet, served with the 101st ABN in I Corps, mostly the Ashau Valley. I remember coming home to a broken marriage, and just lost. Lots of drinking, fighting all the PTSD things that we know now but not when I came home. My family was confused I was confused and angry, trouble with the law the whole shebang! I have now been diagnosed with PTSD 50% and 100% disabled due to some effects of Agent Orange. Finally I started too realize when an onset of PTSD was coming on, sometimes I just have to go be alone, and I just get real quiet and introverted. I was lucky enough to meet the woman who would love me no matter what. We have been married now for 43yrs, 1 daughter and 2 grandchildren. I still jump at loud or unexpected noised, I still get flashbacks and dreams, but I have learned how to manage with the help of a great psychologist who I go to twice a week for the last 8-9 yrs at a local VA clinic. Just get help guys, it does not get rid of PTSD nothing ever will, it changed our brains, but it can help you understand what is happening to you, 52 yrs I have lived with this it will never go away. Just get some help, and make sure you find the right DR, took me 3 or 4 to find one that helps. Peace my brothers, and God Bless!!

Brother I suffer from this everyday day I push people away bc I don’t know how to live I’m so caught up in my head that I’m numb Thankyou for this video and most of all Thankyou for your service semper fi

Thank you for all that you and all the other vets gave to this country.🙏🏻

My heart breaks for all veterans. Those of us who have been to war on the home front have some small idea what you are going through. We react in much the same ways. It never goes away. I am 40 yrs out and still have flash backs and aggressive reactions. Fighting for my life for years. For the life of my child. Living in a state of constant sheer terror....

Thank you vets for everything God bless you yall are the real heros

hey, my dad was a combat veteran. and i know bad ptsd can be. my dad had it for a while and finally got help. yes he has it still but he has been able to get help. thank you for your service

Hey man thank you for your service, I’m glad you’re still here trying to help people through their struggles.

I have always said that comment I am a desert shield desert Storm veteran who got injured and medevaced out of the Gulf War I have lost so many brothers and sisters since then to either combat or suicide I have been on the suicide edge many of times I can only praise God that I'm still here and just like every other veteran I have been there way too many times and I cry way too much every time it happens

💗 Much love & respect to you & all the vets 🙏 God bless you all! This is a very touching song.

I've been blessed with being with an amazing woman who gives me a reason to fight every day just to wake up..

Yeah… I’ve experienced a lot of the feeling portrayed in the video. Hardest part is trying to explain how we’re feeling to someone that pretends to “understand” or “know” what someone’s been through. Idk man it’s rough at times

God bless you all and Thank You for protecting all of us from harm.

Thank you for your service!!!! Morgan wallen is my dude and this song gets me in my feels. I work with ptsd and its something im passionate about plz reach out if u need to!!!!!

Thank you for being so honest and so transparent about what you’ve gone through❤

First and for most. Thank you for your service brother! Great reaction video. I'm make a point to always be there for a veteran.

I’m all sorts of messed up from my time in, hold it together most of the time, but my wife refuses to let me do certain things (not going in to detail) because I spiral in to dark places. It sucks, but it’s reasonable. Triggered by things and memories that don’t even make sense to me. Fortunately she’s also a veteran and at least understands. Anger, sadness, incompetence… it’s rare, but it happens.

Stay strong brother. Semper Fi!

Hey man I learned a lot from that and thanks for your service man love ya man

Bro 15 yrs 5 deployments a army forward observer much love

My 3 little bros are USMC 0311 and my son is joining the Navy and will be trying out for SO. Thank you for your service sir!

🙏🏼😓 this song is so powerful, 1st time seeing the video & I’ll never hear the song the same. Sorry for your pain. Thank you for all you sacrificed & I pray the trauma you endured subsides.

Thank you for your service! No one is more brave then the people who will stand on the front lines for their country.

Hey fellow beteran thanks for your service brother

Thank you for your service!

as a spouse of a 28+ yr Vet w/ 6 ToD .. this is a Gental version of the Reallity for Him / Me our Son & Us as a Family 🥺🥺🙏🙏🕯🕯❣

Thank you for your service

I have PTSD (not military related). It's so severe even simple smells and tastes can take me back to horrible times in my life, to times when I almost died. I can't eat or drink certain things, I can't clean with certain cleaning products, etc. I rarely talk about it outside of my family. My husband does his best to shield me from 'going back' to worst times in my mind and I've learned ways to cope as I cannot take meds (they make me far worse, there's a black box warning on anxiety and deoression meds for a reason). My heart goes out to all the veterans who deal with PTSD. I never had to see friends die in action, to go to funerals for those who took their own life due to their military service so I'm not saying what I deal with is equal or worse than veterans, but I can start to understand some of it when my mind won't let me just forget.

Thank you seems so small. My sincere, heartfelt apologies for the heavy cost of your service. Covering our veterans in prayer.

Thank you for your service. To all the veterans watching this. ❤️

Thank you for your service and all that have!

Thank you for your service ❤
