As a retired Marine, I can tell you nobody is more highly regarded by Marines than the Navy Corpsman, " Doc ". We all value their presence and skills, especially when in the field.

I cried at this. My husband never talks about the horrible things he saw in his multiple tours in Iraq. I remember him telling me on one of our too few calls that he didn’t have a uniform left that didn’t have blood on it. When he got home after his last deployment, it was months before I could turn on the ceiling fan. It reminded him of chopper rotors and he’d wake up already in motion thinking wounded were coming in. It broke my heart.

That part about when a guy asks him if he's gonna make it and he has to lie. That was the hardest part of the song for me.

I spent ten years as a Corpsman in the Navy. Other than the birth of my sons, my proudest achievement in life was the day I earned title Doc. Doesn't happen the moment you join, not even after being assigned to the Marines. Funny thing is what lead to that moment I didn't think I had done anything other than my job. Once upon a time Hm2 (FMF) USN 1986 - 1996.

Medics, the unsung heroes! Thank you for you sacrrifice and service! 🇺🇲 We love and cherish you all

That one HURT, but I'm glad you shared it. Doc is EVERYONE'S favorite person. I know I always bought him a beer when I could. Hats off to Doc's everywhere...

A real ballad for all the docs. Stay strong brothers, and for the medics prior, thank you for paving the way so we may save others. God bless all.

This song was written by Brian Carper, Jordan Walker, Johnny Mcguire, Richard Casper, and Shaun Bott. It was originally sung by Walker Mcguire (Jordan Walker and Johnny Mcguire). You should listen to their version ... they have that southern twang that just puts it over the top. #veteransbattlestillrages

God bless ALL ( DOCS ) Hard song to listen to.

As a medic it was and will always be my greatest honor to have served with my brothers and sisters. Despite injuries I endured, I’d go back in a hestbeat if I could.

The unsung heroes of the military.

A friend of mine who was a medic around the time of Desert Shield/Desert Storm and he said that all of the guys were his friend because none of them wanted him to angry with them if they ever got hurt.

God Bless Doc and all of our Amazing HEROES!!!! Freedom Isn’t Free!!!

My family and I are joining wreath's across America this year. We will try to get the wreath's on our soldiers graves😢😢

#veteransbattlestillrages That's got to be tough job mentally, having buddies and comrades dying in your hands desperately trying to save them.

Your struggle is obvious on your face but just remember that you are not alone and that there is people out there that understands what you are going through or at least are willing to lend a ear with a rough understanding

I’m glad there is a song for the medics. They are there first and can make a big difference to some. P.s. don, I don’t know if I’ve ever thanked you for your own service. I know you were in for five years I believe. Thanks for bringing all these videos to us!!!!!!!!

Thank God for the people who can do this. #nomoretalkingletsgo #veteransbattlestillrages

My uncle he was a combat medic in Vietnam he did suffer from PTSD and had medical issues after the war he lost a part of his hand and he got cancer from a chemical weapon called agent orange but he passed away lung and throat cancer a few years ago

I served in the Marine Corps and the army, we loved “Doc” and would always have his back. Sometimes doc has gotten me into more bar fights than I’ve gotten myself into, don’t mess with do. Don’t get confused with a FMF corpsman we and they consider him a Marine. We have another reunion in November and Doc is expected to be there after 30+ years

Never heard this song, I like it # Veterans Battle Still Rages🇺🇸 🙋🏻‍♀️

Shout out to all service members!! Active, Retired and their families that hold the homelines!! Thanks for your sacrifice and service! #VeteransBattleStillRages

Awesome and heartfelt thank you for sharing this for the medics. 😊❤️🙏🏻✌🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My uncle had his law degree from Notre Dame University, then entered WWII. He served in both European & Asian Theaters abound the "Lyon" as a pharmacist mate (like a medic). When my brothers became history buffs he finally told them about fishing survivors of kamikaze attacks out still burning from the fuel, tending to German prisoners (and not letting anyone else on the ship know he spoke German), burying their dead at sea, and so much more that this gentle soul had seen and done. RIP Jack Lynch.

I was a Navy Corpsman in Okinawa and had the privilege of serving in the 3rd Marines 79-83

I always called my doc when I was in the corps doktor. I can do the basics but doc knows how to have that mother's love. I remember having kidney stones and he gave me the "unacceptable" help. Doc Arthur literally made everything easier just knowing he was there. I miss that comfort knowing my doc was their vs now my civilian life. I miss having out with a guy who you can tell em about everything and not worry about em being stupid

Thanks for sharing, they do impossibly hard work and seeing their own.God .bless!

My father was a Navy corpsman with the 1st Marine division at Guadalcanal. The horror of war that my father saw followed him for the rest of his life. Undoubtedly he is not the only one by any means. He was shot twice by sniper. Thank God the sniper was not a very good shot. To every one of our servicemen and women, thank you from the bottom of my family's heart for what you do.

The U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman is the most decorated rating not just in the Navy but in the U.S. military, having earned to date: 23 Medals of Honor 179 Navy Crosses 31 Navy Distinguished Service Medals 959 Silver Stars 1600+ Bronze Stars with combat V devices

Just had to come back to ask you a question Do you have survivors guilt? Thank you for sharing a little piece of yourself

It's the eyes I see a small child his eyes still get me when things get hard and 20 years has passed, our doc was the seco who had been a rescue. Helicopter medic. I still to this day don't know if the child lived or died.

Retired Navy Corpsman and I never heard of this song until recently, and it affected me because of the event that I heard it

My husband was a Green Beret team Doc. They call him Doc to this day.

I spent 5 years as a 8404 FMF corpsman there was no prouder nor scarier moment when my unit told me they only wanted me to go with them … here it is almost 30 years later I can remember getting told to get geared your going …

What more can be said🥊🥊🥊🥊

Tough to watch. Thank you for your service! #verteransbattlestillrages

I can see that this hit you hard. Watching your reaction ; I just wanted to give you a little hug; a touch across the shoulders because I get it... flashbacks are the hardest to deal with. God bless you and anyone else who's have to go through this! #VeteransBattleStillRages #nomoretalkingletsgo

Had me crying for sure!

Been retired a few years, they still call me Doc.

One of my favorite songs like this version but love the original by walker mcguire

Recommend I was only 19 by Redgum. Reflects on Vietnam and how it effected young Australians.

I don’t know if they do this in the US forces but, in the Canadian forces not only do they have military doctors but, civilian medical staff that volunteer for service regularly. They learn a lot of techniques that they take back with them to use for wound and injury treatment. My grandfather was a chaplain in WW 2 and set up recreation centres and worked with the injured and dying on the front line. I know for sure that he had PTSD when he returned. He would be walking with my grandmother and a car would backfire. He would disappear and my grandmother would find him on the ground. One of his jobs was catching and putting out incendiaries on building during the London bombings. He and my uncle, who was a bombardier never talked about their experiences. I only found out about it when my mom was a historian and archivist for the Salvation Army. My grandfather was a major in the Salvation Army and was immediately given the same rank in the military.

You are correct. Nothing can prepare you for that. So where does "DOC" come from?

The young men and women serving our country all volunteered. From 1940 until 1973, during both peacetime and periods of conflict, men were drafted to fill vacancies in the United States Armed Forces that could not be filled through voluntary means. Active conscription came to an end in 1973 when the United States Armed Forces moved to an all-volunteer military.

US ARMY Infantry, Don't f**k with "DOC" We take that personal!

Does anyone know the the Motto of Combat Medics?

Sometimes we have to lie.

Will you be reacting to ABBA s new music?

US Army vet here and trust me when I say Doc is one of the real heroes on any team. Walker Mcguires original version is better.
