Sometimes going to war is to hard on our fathers. Even if they are vets. Mine was a desert storm vet. I left for Afghanistan at 20 in 2012. Volunteered for round two and came home at 22. In 2014. Dint talk to my dad the entire time. But when I got home he was and still is my best friend and the reason I’m here. His name is Scott too. Are you my daddy ?🤣

Nam vets don't get the credit they deserve. A lot never wanted to go, but were forced to go. My dad joined before his number was called so he got to chose what branch to go into. Even Navy, he got 2 purple hearts from Nam. He might be an old fart (he's my dad, i can call him that) but he is a great man. I am proud to be a Navy brat in a family with a long military history.

It was a bad time when we came home. Called us baby killers, spat on us, protested against us. I was a 17 year old boy when I went to Nam. I was doing what I signed up for, for my country. I’m glad these young guys were treated like they are hero’s. Remember you can hate the war but not the warriors.

I remember stopping writing because we always were in the shit, but the letters never stopped coming in. I remember my mother becoming Mom to the folks that had my back when I needed them the most. I am a blessed man. My father has passed on, and my mother has Alzheimer's...and yet I am still blessed. I feel my parent's love everyday. I feel the strength they instilled in me so that I can be the man that I can. Thank you Mom and Dad. Thank you for those letters from home.

This song and letters from war still makes me emotional. As a young kid from the ghetto I never thought a country song would touch me. After 4 deployments and close calls it changed me. Putting my life on the line with my brothers and sisters in arms from all corners of the country changed things😢. Losing people called things. A simple letter made me feel like there was something worth smiling for at times smh. Most of us never heard our loved ones tell us how much they loved us until those phone calls or letters… This song tells a true story… from start to finish

As a Gulf War vet and really any vet can relate to this song. Those letters were our connection to the world, as we called it. In the Gulf it took a long time to get them. The highlight of the day was mail call. I wrote to my father one day, normally I'd write to my mother, pops was a rock, no emotion. But I had to let him know he was the reason I was who I was and why I could deal with the situation I found myself in. I didn't know if I'd come home, so I had to tell him. He wrote back, i could tell it was difficult. I still have my father and mother with me, so I am still lucky.... I asked my mother once I got home, so what did my dad say when he got my letter? She said, I told him, hey, here's a letter from Ray for you. She handed it to him, he slowly opened it and started to read it, his eyes watered, he said, I'll be right back, he got his keys and took the letter and drove off. She told me, he didn't want her to see him cry. He came back and his rock look smoothened. Thanks for the song and thanks pops.

This song really hit home hard. I served twenty-plus years and deployed on numerous occasions but I never got a letter from home. I was married and had a family but because of my wife, who could not stand me, even the children's letters were blocked. My deployments were arduous as a combat engineer. Long days and longer nights, made more complex with no mail. I recall being shot at and I stood, rather than hitting the dirt, praying my suffering would be brought to a swift and violent end. When I returned from deployments there was no one waiting and had to get rides home from other members of the unit. Everyone needs to know that someone cares for them. I have never known that feeling. So, if you know someone in the military, working abroad, or crosstown let them know that they matter. Send a letter, send some love.

Most civilians don't know what love is anymore. The bond between brothers we experienced in the service, knowing your life is in their hands and their life is in yours and being willing to do anything and everything to make sure your buddy gets to go home, including giving your own life... that's love. Love is selfless. It isn't for the one who loves, it's a gift you give to the one who is loved, expecting nothing in return. Civilians today are too selfish to understand that concept. They think love is something you get, not something you give. The only thing that compares is a parents love for a child, but these days even that is falling victim to selfishness with parents seeing their children as property or as just extensions of themselves. It sounds like a lot of doom and gloom, but what I am trying to say is that even though your wife didn't love you like she should, she will likely never know real love, but you have and in that way you have already won. I love you, brother, and so do millions of other men and women who have served like you and I have served and we would never forsake you because that bond is for life.

My father was a Vietnam Vet,and he never talked about it much, that is until I came home from my first tour in Afghanistan. I guess there's nothing like war to bring a father and son closer together. He passed away a year ago today, and since my wife & kids are out of the house at the moment,I got a little time to myself, so I'm listening to music,drinking a cold beer,looking at old letters & photos and remembering my Dad. Semper Fi

It’s really the part with his Dad seeing him as baby across from him then he disappears. As a father it’s so emotional for me to see pictures of my kids young and now teenagers. It goes by fast, cherish every single interaction.

It would be about important things and sometimes the mundane. Like the weather. She did the same for my father. He was reserves. But for the 26 years he served, anytime he was gone she pulled out her trusty notepad and wrote him ❤

I can tell you - Sir you have no idea how much I appreciated that call as did my mom. I've always remembered that call.

This brought a tear to my eye when it first came out. My child was 3 then and I knew he would grow up to great things, I just didn't know what. He's now 20 and been a Marine for a year and a half. I had forgot all about this until someone shared it in a Marine momma support group. Those tears I shed when it first came out are now full blown sobbing. It hits a bit different when you actually know and feel this in real life.

I can't listen to this song without tearing up every time. When in boot camp in 1978, I received a letter from my Dad telling me how proud he was of me. He seldom wrote letters but that one was special. I wish I knew where it was. My mom threw out a lot of my stuff over the years.

An active duty US Marine, this song was all I could sing to myself when I was in boot camp. Many days, my senior drill instructor would bring in letters and/or packages for me and my buddies, and I would cry myself to sleep seeing and/or reading letters from my family and my friends. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, my birthday, I would get letters. They were what kept me going. I was more than overjoyed to see them on family day. To this day, only a few months in, I still call or text my Mama, my Dad, and my siblings and my friends to let them know how much I love them and how I cannot wait to see them again. A great song, and probably one that any American military serviceman can relate to. Godspeed to all my brothers and sisters in arms. And rest easy, my fellow Americans. For you are what we all fight for.

This song is me and my son’s life exactly. He was 5 when I met his stepfather. Our first date was the movies. He picked Star Wars because he wanted my son to go with us. He took him everywhere with us. We married and had a son together. He never showed any favoritism between them. Most people never knew he was his stepfather. He even went further and help me raise our grandson( his step grandson) from the seventh grade until he graduated. He never calls them step. They are his!!😊
