4 years ago my brother who deployed with me in 2013 put down his arms and took his own life. 3/14/2019 RIP Devrett Griffith. Those of us that knew him know that he should never be forgotten.

Thank you for taking the time to read the links at the end. We owe our vets so much more! ❤

Most of the profits they made from that song they donated to different veteran's programs. My husband is a disabled vet, he's been disabled since he was twenty-seven years old, he and his two brothers and his father were all Marines 😀 He is now 52 years old. He went back to school two-and-a-half years ago and got his master's degree in social work and addiction therapy. I'm so proud of him!!! He said he would be more than willing to talk to anyone who needs to talk!! Because he's been there and he knows 😞😞 If anyone would like to talk please just get ahold of me and I will put you in touch with him!!! Blessed Be and may you find peace with your pain!!! Cliff... 🔥🔥🔥🔥 AS USUAL!!! I absolutely LOVE the fact that you are so open and real in your reaction videos!!! Thank you for all your hard work!!!

As a military veteran who has dealt with PTSD and alcohol abuse, this song means so SO much to me. And I hope everyone who scrolls across these messages takes a minute to think about how real these issues are. Veterans are being mistreated and pushed away because we have problems. Its up to one another to help pick each other back up.

1.4 billion dollars in military spending and still they cant take care of the troops once they have served ... its wrong and its sick

I served for 8 years, deployed more than not. I was separated during COVID for a medical retirement (100% disabled). I was homeless with a wife and kid for months, we didn’t have any safety for years. I’ve finally started to get things together… but I’m not going to lie, every few months a gun barrel sounds like a good way out. I know it isn’t, I’ve had dozens of my veteran brothers do it. I’ve cleaned it up, I’ve dealt with the families… but it’s no joke the struggle. I hope all my other brothers are doing ok. Always remember please dial 988 and talk to someone. It’s the only reason I came down from the bridge myself. Always remember, love always. You never know what nightmares are hidden behind those eyes, and the way you treat someone might be the last way they’re treated in this life. Peace and love beautiful people.

This one always hits hard. My little brother served 20 years, had 3 deployments and got out dealing with serious ish.

THANK YOU for reading the assistance organizations information. I've never seen any other reactor take the time to do that. You're good people 💖💯👏

I can never get through this song without tearing up. PTSD is nothing to mess with. I served in the Marines during Operation Desert Shield from 1989-1993 and have some serious issues from what I've been through in my life. I'm glad this was requested for all the information in the video. Love what you did at the end. Awesome reaction Brother.

I want to welcome home all those who have served and continue to serve. We would not have anything we have now, without your sacrifice

My grandpa served in Vietnam. He was never okay after he came home. He suffered from severe PTSD, depression and night terrors. It was so bad he slept in a different room from my grandma because he'd wake up at night screaming. I was the only one he'd tell some of his was stories to. We were best friends. Sadly he suddenly passed away in 2018. I wish I could have shown him this music video. He would have loved it and probably felt like someone understood the pain he was going through.

I got out in 2004 due to mental health issues. It took till 2013 for them to approve my VA healthcare. Then they refused to service connect me so I am limited in my healthcare. I applied to be rated and their own 3rd party doctors admitted that yes I have PTSD and yes it is from my time in yet they still denied my rating and say that I am not service connected. I have no L5 and my L4 is fused to my pelvic bone. Spinal arthritis so bad some mornings I cant move for an hour or more. I have tumors that grow all through my body including one on my spine. I have Borderline personality disorder, Impulse control disorder, PTSD, a lot of other physical shit and mental shit. The reason I was Honorably discharged was I found my friend the night he hung himself and I wont lie, I snapped. It broke me. Now almost 20 years later they refused to service connect rate me because I cant remember my friends name. Even though their own doctors have said it is a trauma response to block out shit like that. But just because I cant give them his name(I told them the base location, the 2 month time span that it happened in and what happened) Because I cant give them his name and they refuse to look for it they denied me being service connected for PTSD. I am 38 and I can not walk more than maybe a few blocks, I have a mobility scooter, and a walker. A church helped me get them and the church built a ramp for me where I am renting. I do get a pension for non-service connection disability that helps pay bills. It sucks, I get like 2100 a month to pay for my bills and buy food, I cant work cause of my shit yet they refuse to rate me so I can get some mental health treatment.(As non service connected you get 8 sessions where I live and that is it. If I was rated for my PTSD it would be a min. of 30% which would mean I get unlimited mental health sessions and a slight bump in my pension. I budget every month to the point I am living in a trailer home that is falling apart and the landlord is a slumlord. Our back door is held on with boards for the last 2 years, raw sewage leaks from our stink pipe for the last 3 years, Our floor is falling apart. Yet the landlord does nothing and yeah I could go the legal route but then where do I live?? I was homeless for 3 years and this place sucks but its what I can afford and it is slightly better than being homeless. Sorry for going on a rant. I do not have friends IRL cause of my paranoia and agoraphobia but I love watching you Cliff Beats and this is the only time I have ever commented on your stuff I just figured it would be ok to vent a little in this videos comments section, So I can go back into IRL with less in my head than I do now. It does not help but it did feel good to be able to say this out loud instead of just in my head. Thank you.

This song always gives me goosebumps and makes me want to hug every homeless vet I see.

Thank you Cliff, for taking the time to do this. Thank you to everyone that stuck around to watch this until the end. We need to do more collectively, and I say that as a Veteran. Every time I watch this, it humbles me.

I have heard this about 100+ times and seen most reactions and I still tear up.

I definitely recommend Coming Down and Gone Away, but PREPARE YOURSELF if you choose to watch with the videos. I also really love their song Jekyll + Hyde. Also, their cover of Bad Company is so great!!

I come from a line of military. My dad was a radio operator in a tank in WWII and I had an Uncle who spent most of his life and died in a veterans hospital due to injuries. I spent 20 years and am a Vietnam era vet, my second son was in the Army and got COPD in Afghanistan and was medically retired. His daughter, my granddaughter joined and spent time in the Middle East. She got out and now is a civilian working for the military. We are all proud to have served.

" We" can do more. "We" can stand united and hold our elected officials to account, and not lower our voices or our fists, until what needs to be done is done. "We" can put all our other differences aside and be worthy of the sacrifices our Vets have made. Vietnam took the life of my oldest brother, not while he was over there, but, years later here at a non helpful home. " We" can and must do more. Thank you, Cliff for being a light in the dark for so many🖤❤✊#armyofdarkness

Friends and family serving or have served, thanks for that at the end Cliff.

Thank you for your messaging on this video. FFDP got me through some pretty shit times. I've been that guy sitting there questioning what we were even fighting for when it seems like no one cared. Some of society walks around acting like their freedoms just happen. Nothing is free. Someone paid for it, whether financially, mentally, or physically. Props to the Vets. The selfless sacrifice doesn't go unnoticed, at least not by me. "Gone Away" is another good one from FFDP. It's a remix of The Offspring song by the same title.

I haven't been in the military myself. But I have two sons that are active duty. Along with a son-in-law that is a Navy veteran who is now in the Navy reserves. As a mother & mother-in-law of those who serve. I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to read out all of the information of some places for our veterans to get help. Through my son's & son-in-law I have gained so many more military children. Those who still serve and those who are now veterans. It is truly extremely hard for someone who has been in the military to come back home, and try to live a civilian life. The VA sucks, the jobs and pay suck. I think our veterans have embraced enough suck. So I thank you for helping, even if it's reading off web address and phone #s. You have done more in this one video than some people do there whole life.

Mad respect! I’ve always liked listing to your reactions and have always looked at your page for new content. After seeing this video especially what you did in the end conning from a veteran, absolutely the most respect to you my man, thank you!

With many Vets in my family, i love and respect our soldiers past and present, here and gone. Ive watched dozens of reactors watch this video and i tear up every time,.....You were the only one that took the extra time to read the list out for those that may not couldve read it themselves....Shot out to you Cliff! Much love, and keep doin what you do!!!!!

Uh oh. Here come the tears. This gets me every single time.

This song makes me cry every time. My nephew was a proud Marine. He enlisted when he was 18. The day after he came home from his 5th deployment in 2015 we got the call that he had become one of the 22 a day. He was 25 years old. Thank you for a great reaction.

I enjoyed your reaction it’s a great song 🎶😢 and a important message! shout out to all the vets 💫 i appreciated you reading out the organizations 👍 thanks cliff ✌🏽🎶music heals my soul ❤️‍🩹

Thank you for the extra effort in reading off each support group, our brothers & sisters deserve better support.

Your reactions are always so heartfelt. It was a very selfless thing to read all those at the end. Thank you for all your support to anyone who needs it. And its true. I texted him and he responded to me at a dark time in my life. Thank you for all that you do

Thanks loads for reacting to this. Its very sad to listen to, but its a strong song to get the message across. Its the same in the UK when it comes to our vets.

Thank you, Cliff. This is always a hard one to watch. As usual, your reactions do justice to the artists and subject matter. 👊🏻

as a veteran myself, and still active service, i think you did this reaction justice. Good job. This job aint always easy.

Imo the sad truth is that these brave men and women are left to rot on purpose, last thing the government wants is strong well trained people that love their country loose In society because they are the ones who will stand up for it. Everything is by design. Unfortunately it's the same here for our vets in 🇬🇧. ❤️🙏.

I'm glad that you are reacting to this song. But I can't watch it. If there is ever a PTSD trigger of a song, this one is it for me. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for this vid. It made my husband cry when he first saw it. It's still hard to hold back tears. More needs to be done. We give as much as we can in donations. My husband is a 13 Yr. Army Vet, he was a truck driver in Desert Storm. He got cancer in 2015 and since we weren't married yet I couldn't put him on my insurance. We tried the VA for help and they declined him because they said he made too much money (Gross), he was an Owner Operator Truck Driver. Luckily we found a wonderful surgeon through a clinic who didn't charge us and the hospital worked with us. Our son was only 2 at the time and we were so scared. Happy to say he has been cancer free since his operation on April Fool's Day 2015. It's just sad that he served and had an honorable discharge and we couldn't get him help.

As a wounded combat vet. I would like to say THANK YOU for keeping the message going. You asked "how to help"? The best way. It's sounds dumb but it comes from a movie. "I can't save them all. Can you save just one? Yes Then do it. Then do it again and again." Each one is one less.

That video and the numbers quoted, were from 8 years ago. I can't imagine the number has got less, things have probably got much worse. Am UK based but the issue is worldwide on how veterans are treated by society.

As a veteran all my brothers and sisters can get hold of me whenever and I'll be there. This video gets me every time I watch it. And the actors eyes get me with their various expressions

I'm a British Army veteran, having suffered PTSD for over 20 years I love this song and the message it sends out. I can never get through this without tearing up. 😢

Thank you Cliff Beats, You didn't have to read all of those and as a non-combat Vet I have mad respect for people like you.

You are doing a great thing with this video brother. I am an Afghanistan vet and having support like you are doing here means a whole lot to us.

Thanks for reacting to this Cliff. ((Civilians/WE ARE the gov't but we relaxed that powerful knowledge)). These numbers & video is from 2013... it hasn't gotten better because the gov't needed u$ for one thing only. Their pocket$. ('99-'07, USMC Sgt. Infantry, SecurityForces, Marksmanship Instructor)

I appreciate your reaction to this song, the lead singer is a Marine veteran, I’ve been lucky enough to have family and support and not have had to go through some of this, the VA system is terrible took 15 years for me to get full benefits, thanks man we appreciate it

(Sorry, this video always hits a nerve in me, so this is detailed.) FFDP is a great rock band with excellent music. This song and video are needed for spreading the word. I am 60. I grew up in the VFW with a lot of WW1, WW2, and Korean War vets. I witnessed the draft of Vietnam and how terrible those who returned were treated, while the dead or missing were honored. Really, a slap in the face to those who were drafted - often without consent; they joined or faced jail or exile. My WW2 Navy dad worried about my older brother getting drafted, but college students could be exempt. Returning vets were largely dismissed. That included exclusion from those earlier veterans. Mental health was generally ignored or discounted as weak. With the wars or "operations" (did those in charge feel better by making it sound softer), American started with praise. Then, with 9/11 fading to the past for many, that support also faded. I witnessed 9/11 up close, lost people then and in those conflicts. Survivors of both are deeply and forever changed. Always support veterans, no matter what their circumstances are. If you see homeless men and women, acknowledge that they exist. If nothing else, a smile or simple hello is very powerful. Sorry, I had to get that out, or my day would suck.

Kudos to you.. you are the first reactor (that I have seen) to stop and list verbally the organizations along with their information. Keep up the fantastic work

I met this band in their early days while opening for NoN point in upstate New York. Such a cool group of dudes and I became a life long fan of them. So glad they made it and are giving back

You're a good man Cliff. Don't ever let someone tell you otherwise

Your a class act Cliff 🎬🔥🔥.always dope reaction vids with positive messages 💯.My family was military 🇺🇲.keep doing you, Salute Cliff 😎 Shout out to are heroes ( Vet's) .

Cliff Beats you are appreciated!

Great Job Cliff! Sometimes saying thank you is the only thing we can do to express our overwhelming gratitude & they do deserve it. I work in the medical field & was getting this all of the time during COVID. I stopped saying”I’m only doing my job.” & changed it to “you’re welcome, it was my pleasure to help.”

U.S. Army Ret. Thank you for taking the time to actually read out the list at the end. That is a lot more than most reactors do and it does matter.

I always get tore up watching this video. I've messaged you before about a friend of mine who's a veteran and what he went through while deployed and some of his situation when he got home. It's just heartbreaking.

From this veteran, I thank you for your reaction. Your reaction for this video is the best I’ve seen!

Thanks for caring, Cliff. You're the only one that has verbally named the assistance organizations and their contact information. I've never seen another. Thanks So MUCH! XOXOXO

Late comment but it is amazingly beautiful how you read and spelled out each org at the end. I am not not a vet...im the only male in my family that has not served besides one of my grandfathers, and he was a police officer. But I hope and pray any vet watching or listening to this video that needs help reaches out. Even though they don't apply to me, I couldn't skip you reading these. The break down/reaction to the song is great, but caring enough to read and spell out each org made me gain so much respect of you as person, and I haven't even met you. Prayers, thoughts, vibes, or whatever you believe in to all Vets out there.

🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥 Hi Cliff, been in a numb state of mind today is one week since my mom's heart stopped. Been the longest, fastest week I can remember ❤️ if I wasn't already balling my eyes out this track is beautiful and sad thank you to everyone who has sacrificed themselves for my freedom

Our government needs to do better. We all do. Five finger Death Punch are wonderful advocates for veterans, they have had concerts where all the profits went to veterans, and free concerts just for vets. Love them.

Bro as a vet. Out of all of the people I have seen react to this video over the years. You are a brother in my eyes. You are the first I have ever seen read the list. If I could give you a real brother hug. You would get it. That comes from someone who doesn't like hugging anyone that I don't consider family. Would love to meet you in real life. You may not have served but you are a brother in my eyes.

There is something that everyone can do. VOTE, not for a side or for a politician's words, but for whomever you believe has taken steps to actually help this situation. The VA provides: Healthcare, Housing, Social Services, Education, and much more, but there are many veterans who need help.

Bruh......you are the most dedicated reactor to bringing out awareness the way that you brung it out....I've seen a ton o reactors bring awareness to this video but I NEVER SEEN a reactor call out every single number the way you did.....bro your heart is da biggest ive ever seen...... God needs to bless you in ways you deserve past what you deserve if dat makes any sense...

Thank you for reading the organizations at the end of the video, I have not seen a youtuber take that consideration. Much respect.

I cry every time I watch this video, without fail.

Awesome band! They have always been very supportive of the troops. Their cover of the song Gone Away is also a tough watch, but worth it.

This song always hits hard. I have an uncle who was exposed to the “agent orange” chemicals and who has had irreparable damage done to him and who has continuously suffered to live even half of a normal life. Growing up, I didn’t know any of this. I just new he was quiet and kept to himself. Later on in life, I certainly understood why and was angry for not being told about what happened.. My heart goes out to any veteran. You made a difference, I just wish we as a society to make a difference for you. You should also check out “Coming Down” by Five Finger Death Punch. I don’t want to spoil anything about the song but I definitely think you will enjoy the message behind it and it’s a good song to use as awareness to a vulnerable part of society.

Yeah FFDP is really really good about honoring the veterans, that’s one of the reasons they are my #1 favorite band. Gone Away is another really strong video to watch that can bring u to tears

To go with this song, you need to watch Fuel- Angel's take a soul. It is a great song, and it also shows a program to help vets, and to raise money for these programs. Very beautiful. Love your channel and excited when your on.

Five Finger Death Punch - Coming Down is a great one to check out... Very powerful Music Video

I love this song. i also have alot of vets in my family and its sad this government doesn't give a shit about them, it tears me up everytime i hear this song. Five Finger Death Punch has made it a mission to offer such opportunities. Not only does the band provide direct jobs for veterans, but they also raise money for different veteran initiatives - like PTSD awareness - through their merchandise site, which also acts as a resource guide for accessing help through various links.

As many times as I have seen this video I cry every time. My family are all Veterans. My friends are Veterans . I know how are government has failed them and is still failing them. My dear friend served 25 yrs and now has stage 5 prostate cancer and is getting no help.

Thank you so much for your heart felt reaction. I appreciate you reading all of the numbers and websites. It also touched my heart when you told people to reach out to you if they were having a dark night of the soul. You are so generous and understanding. Thank you ❤

I'm a veteran and I hate when people say thank you. You don't care. Do something your words mean nothing. Thank you for doing this man. Much love. I know between my friends and I most of think we are not good people but not bad it complicated to explain. You're in limbo and can't help feeling like your useless.

Thank you for reading it all out so that people get get help. Also this is great video!

Always enjoy you’re reactions bro, thanks for doing what you do, you’re the best ❤️❤️

Cliff I love your reactions… but most of all I love the thought you give to everyone going thru a bad time mentally, you are an amazing human being

Do you see the stare at the end of the video he gives the guy fighting him that he uses to calm him down, thats not a look easily earned, thats the look you use to keep your brother or sister in arms for getting crazy you give them that look and calm down, and you help them...... always have their backs. thank you cliff love the reaction!

Love the song and the messages it delivers. Found your channel in the comments of another reaction video shouting out the fact you read every website and phone number you could. Looking forward to diving into your catalog in the future. Thank you!

Cliff I've reached out in the past and seeing the responses helped so much. Thank you.

Loved your reaction fam 🤟😎

I can't watch this video without crying, it's impossible. Great video Cliff!!!

You are a good person, Cliff. That shines through the reactions you do and why I love watching you. Thank you for reading all the veteran help websites and phone numbers off at the end. Take care man.

Thank you I request this as much as I can to all the channels I watch to bring this issue up and you are the only person I have ever seen that has taken the time to read all of these resources and I am a retired disabled veteran of 15 years and they have several songs that are on this issue Remember everything Blue on black Gone away Bad company These are just a few songs

brotherman you are good people. empathy shows and that's a blessing to have. great reaction. long time subscriber and will be till they tell you no more. aka I'ma go down with the ship, captain. keep it up man.

This was amazing and done beautifully xx awesome reaction Cliff xx 🐢❤️🐢 xx

Man your dedication to taking the time you did to read out all those helping sites and phone numbers at the end was absolutely awesome. You are a truly wonderful person and you earned my sub today and I'm so glad I've found you again. Used to watch you back when the crypt Cyphers were a big thing I believe. Keep doing all the great work brother and stay true to the person you are. 💪

Thank you so much for the time you took after the video, god bless you and your family

a veteran I know has 22 tattooed on his knuckles. we got talking tats one day, so I asked and his response was, “an average of 22 vets take their own lives everyday. I have this so they know I’m also a vet who is here to talk.”

I’m so happy you saw this video. When I recommended Castle of Glass by Lincoln Park, I also thought of this song. Thank you for helping anyone and everyone. A song I’d like to suggest you look at is Ghost by Justin Bieber. It’s not about veterans, but it’s more about losing someone. It really helped me after the loss of 2 family members less than 2 months apart.

Thnak you brother! This video was a lot since the first time I saw it but I appreciate your reaction.

I watched this til the end and proud of it! Godspeed and prayers to all the men and women coming home and trying to assimilate back into anything resembling normal life again. I can't frigging assimilate into normal life and I'm 48 years old and just God bless all Veterans. Please anyone reading this judge no one empathy is your friend

Excellent reaction ❤️‍🔥

out of all of the reviewers that I've watched react to this song , i think you're the only one( i may be wrong)to read out all of the names and numbers at the end. thats something i wish more would do.

damn you going this road too... this song is it for so many of us!

Thank you for doing this one. It’s so important 🇺🇸🙏🏼💗

Dude:YOU DON'T NEED TO STOP IT EVERY GOD DAMN TWO SECONDS TO GO ON ANOTHER GOD DAMN TANGET. AS IF WE ARE NOT FREAKING AWARE. NEWFLASH: WE ARE!

A lot of my family has been in the military, I wanted to join the Navy, but with how bad my asthma is, I wouldn't be able to get past bootcamp, This is by far my favorite song by Five Finger Death Punch, amazing song, and amazing support for our military.

Thanks Cliff!! If the "elite" had to fight their wars we wouldn't have Wars!!

When people sign up, the VA should have to sign a contract that they will look after these men and women for the rest of their lives.

This song gets me everytime. I served in the Army for 15 years with 4 combat tours. Every day is a constant battle dealing with PTSD and trying to manage relationships and everything.

Amber is suggesting some amazing songs. My dad was in the Navy for 20 years and did 2 tours in Vietnam. This video kills me every time.

Thank you to all those who have served or are currently serving, your bravery and sacrifices will never be forgotten by me. God Bless America!

As a veteran of 12 years and a deployment to the Iraq war as a gunner I thank you for reaching to this song. To many of my brothers and sisters need help and any exposure to the issues is appreciated. I've had a couple brothers end their life after coming home and it needs to end. So again I thank you
