That's why a patriot will honor those who fight for our freedom and their family's sacrifice with them .

May God bless all soldiers, no matter the country.

Don, sometimes even we Yanks need a hand. Thank you for your service from across the pond.

I lost a good friend of mine to PTSD she was a great person and we thought she had all the help she needed but we were wrong if you need help out there please go seek it

Got me crying. Most of my family has served in the millitry and we have been extremely fortunate that everyone has made it home. But just because someone makes it home it doesn't mean they came home fine. There is a disconnect between the civilian population and the military population. There is this very real idea that if we honor them enough, thank them enough, they will just reintegrate into society and move on. I like how this song says" they taught me how to put their uniform on but not how to take it off." We expect them to stop being soldiers, sailors, airman, marines, once the uniform is put away but so much of their lives have been dedicated to being what we asked them to be.

Wow, amazing that you would donate this videos monetary gains to wonderful organizations like that. amazing to see. thanks again so much for doing my reactions! they've been outstanding to see!

I have a 3 year old grandson whose father took his own life, because of PTSD, 4 months before my grandson was born. My daughter was 5 months pregnant. It was horrible. My husband is the male figure in my grandson's life and they are very close but he will never know his father. It breaks my heart!

I think we're all crying with you. God bless.

God bless everyone who serves their country proudly! Thank you so much for your service and sacrifice! 🇺🇸🙏❤️

Gets out the tissues and settles in for a good cry love this song ty for the react 💖all our warriors

As a American, this gets me everytime I watch it. 911 The Star-Spangled Banner Played at Buckingham Palace

I wish I had the words to fully convey the gratitude that I have for you. What you do across the ocean... Being from another country says what is difficult for us to say. I know you don't romanticize war but your admiration for the country and the sacrifices that many here have made is genuinely received and heart felt. Yes, America has made many mistakes but in all of her mistakes there has been a deep commitment to try and protect those who cannot protect themselves. The men in this video are living proof of that commitment. I am deeply touched by you. Thanks again.

First time I’ve heard this song. It’s beautiful.

Need to watch Five Finger Death Punch--Wrong Side of Heaven--another powerful military tribute song. I served from 1979-1981 active duty. Once your are military--you are always military--you are always a Marine, Army grunt, AirBoy, or Navy sailor.

My dad was wounded in combat in 1969.. He goes back to Vietnam everyday.. Today is the anniversary of the firefight that he lost 3 buddies and got medivaked out.. He's continues to fight the fight.. God bless all the vets that have been lost and the ones that continue on fighting the fight.. I love each and everyone of you!!❤❤❤❤

Don Father, this strikes me to the heart, as you have a knack for doing. I've not had the honor of serving, but relatives have who now suffer with PTSD. I was married for 25 years to a lady who suffered all the years I knew her with PTSD and depression from childhood abuse. She died nearly 6 years ago from complications due to conditions that resulted from her medications and lack of good care by nursing home staff. Now I have depression, or at least that's what it feels like. So I really can identify with this video and your genuine reaction to it. Thanks from my heart, Don Father.

I dont know if it was recommended but five fingered death punch has a song called wrong side of heaven ...... definitely need tissues ..... Its a hard rock band but for statistics it worth a watch

Having dealt with the immediate aftermath of 9-11 I had my own PTSD to deal with. I don't put myself even close to the same category as these heroes, but I do want to say something about PTSD. Recovery is possible. I know it's originally classified as a "disorder" but that's changing to PTSI, or Post Traumatic Stress Injury. It's not something that has to last forever and much like a broken leg, you can heal. For anyone out there feeling hopeless......please, find the help you need. I reached a point where I couldn't leave my apartment, I was having sleep terrors, screaming at people not to jump, waking my boyfriend up and telling him we had to evacuate the building (he would tell me the next day and I thought he was losing it!). I had multiple escape routes out of New York planned and I obsessed over them. Fortunately my boyfriend helped me find help that came to my home and that's where we started. Eventually I had a service dog that literally made it possible for me to venture out of the apartment and rebuild my life one day at a time until I was able to go back to school and now I'm a nurse and I work with people who are dealing with trauma of some sort every day. There's help.....and you can get better. Please tell someone you love or pick up the phone and call a therapist or a crisis counselor....they will help you. The path to healing isn't always direct, and it's not always easy, but it's definitely possible. God bless.

My son served. Just retired from military life. Breaks my heart that our Sons and Daughters suffer this way. They need more resources. Blessings and prayers to all who serve

God Bless all our soldiers & vets!!! 🇺🇸

That was such a heartfelt song. I am in tears! God bless our soldiers!

We owe everything to these men and women who serve our Nation!!

Wow, beautiful song and so powerful. Love you soldiers. My real hero.

Had PTSD due to trauma related to long term abuse. Thank the good Lord I got the help I needed. But these soldiers never get the much needed help and support they deserve. The VA is a mess!

My family is made up of 90% military veterans, currently married to a soldier so this video and song have a special place in my heart. You should seriously listen to “til the last shots fired” by trace Adkins. It’s so beautiful

The National Guard often gets overlooked. Many National Guard troops served in Iraq and Afghanistan. My friend's son came back from his first tour seemingly just fine. The first time there was a thunderstorm, my friend heard a noise and went in to check on him and found this 6'3" big, ol' country boy, who learned to hunt and fish when he was a little kid and wasn't scared of anything.......found him hiding under the bed, shaking like a leaf and crying. He begged his dad not to tell his Mom. He went back for 2 more tours and thankfully came back. Hats off to the National Guard troops who served in the Iraq/Afghanistan conflicts.

You are a good man and brother to vets.l thank you for caring so much for America. Peace to you!

Wow. Very powerful. Thank you for the respect you show our veterans. My brother in law (Army Stryker Brigade) suffered a TBI following an IED hit in Mosul. He came home, but struggled. He took his life in 2008. RIP Tim.

My husband suffers from PTSD from his time in Iraq. The demons he lives with every day is something I will never know any first hand knowledge but I will do my best to be there for him, support him and love him, day in and day out. 🇺🇸 God Bless Our Troops.

I remember my grandma talking about an uncle that came back from WW1 that was super paranoid when he was in public. She talked about how the family was embarrassed by his "constantly looking around when in public". They didn't understand anything about PTSD back then. As an adult I understand this and feel so sad for him.

Now right at 70 years old and 24 years in the Army. I still feel this way if I think or try to remember to much.

Brother everyone everywhere needs to step up and thank the soldiers that fought for what they have! A simple thank you is easy and we all know it. Why does it have to be so hard?

This is one of the reasons in Ancient times when you became a soldier it was for life It's also to Hide "the tears of s clown"

You are a great guy doing great things. I respect your decision to donate to fixing and helping veterans

Immediate tears. I know too many that suffer from this after returning and it is seen almost immediately. I have picked up kids or had them run to my house for the night and I think it’s key to have some place for kids to be able to go for the night so the Veteran can be focused on without their children seeing it and getting scared . I have close family and my daughter that deal with this on a daily basis. Too many will not get help or if they do the meds don’t always help them . My heart goes out to all of our Veterans and their families. The true number are so much more than 22 a day according to a Chaplain that works with Veterans and their demons. God Bless them and God Bless You as well

I had never heard this thanks. I have 2 son's and a daughter that served only 1 had to go to war. They all had different times ,but they all say they would still go. Enjoy

My father was in the military and was injured in battle ( shot out of a helicopter) , he rarely spoke of his time served , unless he was asked about his scars , he never once complained , we lost touch over the years ( he was in and out of my life growing up) he reached out to me recently and I moved thousands of miles to be closer to him to help him, and my heart shattered when I saw him for the first time in years , the man who stood before me was a shell of the man he use to be , he has ptsd and beginning stages of dementia , the fear and confusion I saw in His eyes broke my heart , people fail to realize even the strongest warriors break at some point , I can’t thank the military enough , I’ll be forever greatful for there sacrifices, this song gets me every time ❤️

From a vet I appreciate u playing this thanks

Iraqi freedom vet who suffers some from ptsd here, thanks to songs like this and others pointing out things we have been through helped turn my life around. Back in January it was almost the end for me but someone close to me took me to get help before I made a decision that I wouldn't be able to take back

Thank you very much for your service and it’s so true we never really take our uniform off!! I’m an Army veteran and served proudly!!

My son relives his time with the 101st Airborne in Iraq and Afghanistan every single day. Along with the PTSD and TBI, he has survivor's guilt. Unfortunately, he drinks to forget and to numb the pain. I'm afraid he will become one of the suicide statistics if he continues on the path of destruction he is on. I grew up an Army brat, married Army, my kids were Army brats. When I found out my son had enlisted, I cried. I knew that every momma who sees her son off to Basic Training is also seeing him off to War. There are no winners in war - EVER! The "victors" spend every day regretting every shot they made and every life they took. I will ALWAYS remember the ONLY thing my son said about his experience. He said, "Mom, you've NEVER had to look a little kid in the eyes and know you're the reason his dad is never coming home again." That statement broke my heart.

Abuse survivors also experience PTSD. They have a glimmer of understanding what these soldiers have experienced.

God bless our military who suffer so badly with PTSD. Often I'm silence.. in my prayers 🙏. They deserve the best help available , but they dont bc the VA is so messed up.

My Great Uncle was in the Great War in Europe. He came home with"shell shock" as PTSD was called then. In the hospital therapy was learning how to make latch hook rugs. The only job he could do was a third shift security work. He lived in my grandmother's ( his sister) basement. Besides rent he spent his money on cigarettes, alcohol and latch hook rugs. He never recovered. He rarely ate anything. He didn't socialize with people besides family. If I was at grandma's house, he would come out of the basement to sit by me. He would not speak much. As a young child under 5 years old I didn't understand it. I wish I could go back to tell him how much I loved him and give him a hug. I remember being afraid of him because of the silence. My parents tried explaining it to me but I didn't understand his sacrifice to our world and freedom. PTSD has been around for a long time but was never treated because it wasn't understood. Sorry for the long comment. I just needed to tell someone. Thank you for your vlogs and your service. All military need to be respected and appreciated.

I have no words 😔, but I do understand PTSD, it’s rough.

This song... my heart aches every time I hear it. My best friend joined the 22 almost 5 years ago after 8 deployments in the sandbox. He didn't know how to be home. I miss his 2 AM calls, asking me to bring him back home. 😔 He didn't call on his last day, he just left. I miss you, Doc Mike Trujillo. Until Valhalla, my friend. My son came home from Baghdad in 2011, and everyday I fear him going with Mike. I would give anything to help him take that uniform off.

Some other songs to consider: And I Sit by David Rose; Mr. Red White and Blue by Coffee Anderson; Unbroken by Bon Jovi; Coming Home by Rogers and Bos; I Just Came Back From a War by Darryl Worley; Brothers by Dean Brody; Fallen Soldier by Nathan Fair; I'm Not Home (Homeless Veteran PTSD Song) by Laura McCall Torno/Joe Hash/Earl Torno; If I Don't Make It Back by Tracy Lawrence; Didn't I by Montgomery Gentry; Semper Fi by Trace Adkins, and pretty much anything by Mike Corrado.

My dad served in Viet Nam. He NEVER talked to a medical professional about his nightmares until this past August. He was officially diagnosed with PTSD (us kids knew about it growing up) at the beginning of September.

I'm not in the Military and I don't have PTSD but I ran a couple of bad EMS calls last month, just two weeks from each other, same call type and outcome for both. Sometimes I'm still on scene for those bad calls and it sucks a lot. The part of the song when it says " part of me is still at home, but part of me is back there." I can relate to that a lot. Great video sir.

tyler jay sattersfield the circus is a good one.

You should watch Mansions of the Lord by the West Point Glee club or the version sung during the funeral procession for President Ronald Reagan. It's hauntingly beautiful.

I was watching your videos yesterday and hoping you had reacted to this. Wake up this morning and you have😁 Thank you for reacting to this. Still Ain’t Made It Home by Casey Donahew and They Call Me Doc by Walker McGuire are two songs I’m also trying to find reactions for, and there isn’t many of them. I’d love it if you could react to them! They are both very touching songs and I don’t think they get enough credit!!

Here's a good one- Five Finger Death Punch- Wrong Side of Heaven Another one worth your time Darryl Worley's I just got back from a war Semper Fi Brother from an old US Navy Greenside Corpsman - "Doc"

Oh my British comrade in arms, I was over in Iraq early on. I knew three men who I had talked just hours be for. They went on a daylight mission, we went on a night mission. The next morning I was walking by there hooches and ask were was SFC. A______. They were somber and told me they had been killed outside the wire. You had spoken to them just hours before, so when I got home I damn near blew my head off! Thank God I was to damn drunk and missed my head. Yes there is moment every day when some part of that damn war comes sneaking back to the forefront of your mind!!!

I will make sure I donate next week when I get paid. I'm a USMC veteran and this is close to my heart too

I always support organizations such as this. Not just because my Father was a Vet of both the Korean and Vietnam Wars, or that I grew up in the military, but because I do feel their pain, never been in battle but if you were to look at a full body X-ray of myself you might think I was a life long Rodeo Bull Rider or similar (Not, I may be crazy but not That crazy, although I've been known to walk up and Whump an onery Gator on the snout trying to eat my catch). I understand the worth of friends, family and others who does care, even if it's just a few dollars, it will lift your spirits just knowing someone who doesn't even know you, took a little time and money out of their life to help you.

I just came across your channel recently and have been catching up on your videos, nice work. I have one for you to react to, it's... "The Rescue of Jessica Buchanan" the rescue was conducted by SEAL Team Six

I didn't realize that you had served as well! Absolutely explains your insight and thoughtful commentary though. From an American - Thank you for your service to your nation - one of our closests cousins and deepest allies around the world. 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My son-in-law did three tours of duty in the Mid-East. He suffers from nightmares, hates crowds and fireworks. It can't help but to have lasting effects on people. My daughter and his girls help a great deal, but I know he hides a lot of his pain from them, too. (Have you ever heard the informative narration of the description of the men portrayed in the famous statue of the Flag at Iwo Jima? I saw it once, and it was amazing.

Amen

great reaction brother!

You should do a reaction to Five Finger Death Punch - Wrong Side of Heaven, the official video. I’m dealing with PTSD... that song breaks me every time I hear it.

My husband has PTSD from his time in Iraq. A certain ring tone he hears from time to time will set it off. One time he was having a bad dream and I tried to wake him, and I got a black eye. We were in KCMO in a Walmart parking lot and he started shouting to me to take cover. I was on the passenger side of the car and he was on the other side. I’m standing there watching a fireworks display behind him at a stadium. He thought we were being mortared. He seems to be doing better.

To put the issue into context, I suggest you watch"Now, After" (PTSD From A Soldier's POV) [contains graphic imagery] But not as a react video. Just for yourself to help you understand. If you do watch it, you'll understand why I caution doing a react vid to it.

Don, Thank you for all the videos and support you share with our military vets, but how about a sample of some of the patriotic British songs and videos .... Our brothers and sisters from your country deserve some of this respect and thanks ....

So touching

You should check out the Wounded Warrior Project...it's an AMAZING charity for veterans and were literally a life-saver for my father-in-law who served in both Vietnam and Desert Storm. 💞

Some don't realize this song was originally written by Mitchell Rossel and started as a suicide note he found in a patient room at the hospital he was working at

"PTSD Song" has a weird ring to it

This is why we stand for our National Anthem and why we fly the flag 🇺🇸.

As a US Army veteran, I love your channel. I have to admit, though, the US Air Force has the best bands. Their Rock band, "Max Impact" have some great songs, one or two actually broke into the civilian charts. However, my favorite is their Celtic band's tribute to 9/11's fallen, and teaching the next generation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jcBkqdmDrr2yqJ8.html

The don! Have a watch of “australian army ptsd casualties of war part 1”. interesting, eye opening

Have u seen the video for five finger death punch- wrong side of heaven. If not, be prepared its rock/metal not country, but it'll so make ya cry. I swear I've seen it a billion times, and even before my fiance died in 2017 in Afghanistan, it made me weep, now it guts me completely every time. P.s. have a box of kleenex (of facial tissues, I don't think yall call it kleenex there) bc it make ya cry too.

can you react to Charlie Daniels - Still in Saigon (1982)

💘 Heros All!!!!! U

☝🏻✌🏻❤🗺future ❤

So our family don't matter only you hmm yep I'm selling
