Gen Z's React To "Til' the Last Shots Fired"- Trace Adkins 

You just got a new subscriber in me. I am so impressed with you both - young enough to be my sons, but that's just it. It is reassuring to me to see young men your age be so reflective and understanding of history and the importance of what it all stands for. Thank you. Watching this made my whole day better.

by the age of 21 i had already been in two different combat zones. i appreciate kids your age showing patriotism even though our nation is screwed up

This just Hit me in a big way. Till the last shots fired has a double meaning. Either till the last shot of the war, or until the last shot, the one that kills you, you won’t come home. God Bless The Troops.

Guys, a must is Big and Rich - 8th of November (official video) A story featuring a Vietnam Soldier. Can’t ruin the story but, it is so important

Glad to see you reacting to this song. Never quit learning and exploring. We need more younger guys to understand history.

That song and Arlington get my mom every time because my Uncle Bobby was killed in Korea on Valentine's Day 1951 when she was 7.

there are 4 songs dedicated to the marine corp 2 are country 2 are rock heres the list 1 trace adkins semper fi 2toby keith call a marine 3 the warrior song hard corp 4 sabaton devil dogs .... they also have a history channel sabaton history and all of their songs are military history

My favorite of Trace’s patriotic songs. Never fails to give me chills. It’s such a hauntingly beautiful song. There’s also a live performance of this on the CMA’s that he performs with the West Point Glee Club that is remarkable. And I don’t think Trace himself wrote this but his pure deep voice just perfects it to me. Another of his that to me just shows the amazing quality of his voice is I Can’t Outrun You. Check out the studio video. And for a hilarious video, it’s Rough and Ready! Even his physical presence adds to the impact of his music. He’s a massive man! And again, thank you guys for reacting to these videos. It’s wonderful to see young guys being exposed to this great music. 🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸

Congrats guys ..you got my attention...61 year old former marine from south carolina..

This song really speaks to me. Say a prayer for peace. Most of my family served in the military in some capacity. My dad was in the Navy, before he married my mom. His father was a POW in WWI. Captured in France. My uncles served in WWII. I married a soldier who retired after serving 26 years. I watched him deploy to Iraq and Bosnia. My son is a helicopter pilot who was Army for 10 years and is now National Guard. My other son's wife is National Guard as well. Some people think that military members are "warmongers". Nothing could be further from the truth. Though they spend their careers preparing to lay down their lives for their country and defending it, war is the VERY LAST THING any soldier wants to see happen.

US Marine vet here. I like your reactions, keep it up. Try out Semper Fi by Trace Adkins.

Country music IS storytelling put to song. If your liking what your hearing from Trace I suggest broadening out to other artist from this genre.

Y’all gotta catch the live version of this at the CMAs. AMAZING. It will be an entirely dif reaction- promise!! A pretty recent one by Trace: The Empty Chair. Nice reaction again; thank you! Stay safe & love much💖

The choir is the west point military glee club

Every country has its problems and flaws!!! But that doesn’t negate the good we have done…not only for our citizens but for other countries as well. Why else would people risk their lives to come here?! Great reaction!! So nice to see young people get it and appreciate our country and veterans!!❤️🇺🇸

You two young men are having what we call "a true awakening"!

You should see the video where it’s live at the CMAs

You should know that most of the soldiers that hit Utah & Omaha beach were only 18-19 years old.....some younger. They were a different breed of men back then, they would lie to be able to have a chance to serve their country. Hence forth known as "The greatest generation". God bless them all...they are very few left.

As a Marine 0326 i served with both 1st and 3rd Force Recon and also with Marine 2nd Battalion Recon. I did 2 Deployments in Iraq and 3 in Afghanistan my last Deployment was in the Helmand Province in Afghanistan in which i was badly wounded and lost 2 bestfriends. This is a great song...most don't understand the tragic and sad truth of this song. When he says we can't come home till the last shots fired....it means they can't come home until the last shot of the last war to ever be fought ends. That's a whole lot of time...wars and continued loss of life that will happen before that finale war is ever fought.

Just thought of another. Since y’all are enjoying these so much there’s another that I’ve suggested on different channels that no one ever reacts to. Your channel would be the first. It’s a heartbreaking song by Mikele Buck who I love but who isn’t a mainstream artist. He was a Marine who served in Iraq and his unit’s job was to keep the Baghdad airport road clear of IED’s. This road was code named Route Irish. Mikele wrote ‘Irish Road’ - a haunting song from personal experience and it gives just a glimpse into the turmoil that these brave men endure to keep us free and all the darkness and torment they bring home and live with for the rest of their lives. Thank you to all those who have served and our prayers are with you. 🇺🇸💔🇺🇸

Lifes not all about tacos and strippers. Previous generations know what price our young men and women paid for this country's freedom. The young generation now has no idea. Good on you for checkin this out. ✌️💚💪

I was there in the winter of '64 When we camped in the ice at Nashville's doors Three hundred miles our trail had lead We barely had time to bury our dead When the Yankees charged and the colors fell Overton hill was a living hell When we called retreat it was almost dark I died with a grapeshot in my heart Say a prayer for peace For every fallen son Set my spirit free Let me lay down my gun Sweet mother Mary I'm so tired But I can't come home 'til the last shot's fired In June of 1944 I waited in the blood of Omaha's shores Twenty-one and scared to death My heart poundin' in my chest I almost made the first seawall When my friends turned and saw me fall I still smell the smoke, I can taste the mud As I lay there dying from a loss of blood Say a prayer for peace For every fallen son Set my spirit free Let me lay down my gun Sweet mother Mary I'm so tired But I can't come home 'til the last shot's fired I'm in the fields of Vietnam, The mountains of Afghanistan And I'm still hopin', waitin' prayin' I did not die in vain Say a prayer for peace For every fallen son Set my spirit free Let me lay down my gun Sweet mother Mary I'm so tired But I can't come home 'til the last shot's fired 'Til the last shot's fired Say a prayer for peace (for peace) For our daughters and our sons Set our spirits free (set us free) Let us lay down our guns Sweet mother Mary, we're so tired But we can't come home (No we can't come home) 'Til the last shot's fired

American history is sprinkled with horrific wars and yet we always pull through.. even if we are kicking our own ass.. or someone else's.. keep learning and keep it 100

My son turned 21 during a fire fight in Afghanistan. By 23, his military career as a special forces airborne soldier had ended and he was left disabled by an IED.

Our senior year in high-school, we all waited to see what draft number the guys in our class got. To see who was leaving for Vietnam. They were drafted at 18. My cousin was shot down in Vietnam, 2 weeks before he was to come home. My last letter from him arrived a month after he passed.

great reactions guys.... Courtesy of the red, white and blue by toby keith

I think you two are adorable. I am so glad I found your channel. Thank you ❤️🤍💙

If you take a look at what you are watching, American's know what it is to fight for our independence. THIS is what Ukraine is facing as we watch this right now. American's UNDERSTAND! If you want to see history in the making, keep up with what is going on in Ukraine and why American soldiers are volunteering there. Americans understand!

I just saw your reactions to Trace Adkins "Til' The Last Shots Fired" from a year ago. I am extremely appreciative of your commentary and understanding of the blank checks US Armed Forces write every day in sacrifice for every citizens'' freedoms. We may not agree with all views but we'd die defending the rights to have and express them. Coming from a veteran, who was disabled during active duty, I am so very proud of you both. Keep up the great work. C&R Veteran, US Air Force

Your reaction was great. I got out of the marine corps in 1981 and to see you react to this was great. Trace Adkins works with wounded warrior project

Love country. Storytelling at its best. There’s an ocean of country to listen to. Some new good talent that doesn’t have pop rock mixed in. Do check out Toby Keith. I know there are many that can give you a list. You’re doing good. Thank you. I like Zack Bryan, Dwight Yoakam, Willie and Waylon of course, Brothers Osbourne, and ESPECIALLY Cody Jinks - must be the whiskey.

My Grandad served in Korea in 1950-51 he passed away in May 25th 2001 His name is Joe Tucker USMC Semper Fi

Thank you for this reaction!! ❤️

love Trace anything. Has one in every album. He made down to 2022 double album. Song is The Empty Chair. They old people who came back after keeping us free. That’s all of his music

That's the Marine Corps Choir at the end 😁

By the way, the choir at the end of "Til' The Last Shots Fired" is the West Point Cadet Choir. C&R Vet, USAF

The first verse is about the Civil War in the 1860's. The Revolutionary War was 80 years earlier.

Love the reaction keep up the great work as a former military it's a struggle coimg back home for alot of use. But that grate flag and the people was worth everyday I was gone. Freedom always

Revolutionary wars was with the British. Civil war was between the North and the south.

More more more. You guys are awesome. Thanks for a younger but very wise perspective.

I severed as a corpsman with the 31st meu I still fill the war and the loss of two of my best friends they were in the point Humvee both the driver and passenger was killed in an ied its and image I will see for the rest of my life the gunner was thrown out shattered his back and hit his head on the ground and was in a coma for years after I carried him out I am currently 100% PTSD I miss them both Jerome would be 39 I was a year older and Mike would be the same as me in Highschool we did lan lines of Counter Strike we also did other games back in the day as well but I remember counter strike the most. Nice reaction the hardest thing I ever done though was give the folded flag to Jerome's mom my jaw hurt and my eyes hurt to as I held back the tears and was so hard not to shake as I gave her the final salute as well. I was not allowed to cry for him sor the lngest time years of avoidance of thinking and talking about it lead me to two suiced gestures I didnt break down till I was in ptsd domicile and in group tharapy 12 years after the fact. It even hard writing this.

Nice to see younger people pay respect. Im an Army veteran, would do it all over again.

If you haven't seen the movie "Saving Private Ryan" check it out. Among other things you will get a taste of Omaha Beach. Phenomenal movie, produced by Spielberg, starring Tom Hanks.

I love you guys keep up the great work

The choir in this song was the West Point Glee Club and Trace and the choir this song at the CMA.

I just found you and subbed, not even halfway through... keep it up and know you are making so many proud with your own knowledge, respect, and integrity. Always keep your passion in what you do and what you believe in. Love from a humble patriotic mother.

You should watch the video of this song at the CMA's with the West Point Glee club

I don't know why you guys we're in my feed, but I am so glad you were! It is amazing to see our current youth is not all about balling and crime etc. You just earned a new subscriber. I'm so thankful you understand and respect the songs you react too. Thank you

This was the Civil War. Yankees are what the southern soldiers called Union soldiers...as the Union soldiers called the Confederate soldiers "Rebs"

You two give me hope. Love your shirt Semper Fi.

Boys we were at war in the Middle East for 20 years and there were soldiers 18 and up.

He also started wounded warriors project 20 years ago.

Y'all are so amazing. Thank you for giving me hope. I will say a prayer.

It is brutal but Mega Media Overload's video of this song is the most realistic video of this song that conveys the cost of war. I suggest you check out it out, but be prepared. Thank you for your honest reaction.

New subscriber. You boyz are the future.

Thank you for giving me hope.

If you don't know the history behind our Flag, Old Glory, you should watch 'The Star Spangled Banner as You've Never Hear It'. I just subscribed. :)

Volunteer like we did before you. This Country needs Patriots!

My grandfather left a California port in 1943, never to return.

STARTING A NEW COMMENT. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG A CAPACITY OF WORDS RU-vid ALLOWS. I HAVE HAD TO RE-WRITE A COMMENT MANY TIMES BECAUSE I WOULD GET AN ERROR MESSAGE AND DON'T KNOW WHY.

YOU JUST MIGHT GET HOOKED. JUST LIKE REBA MCENTIRE WHO HAD A SITCOM CALLED "REBA" FROM 20O1 TIL 2007.I THINK IT IS IN RERUNS. CHECK IT OUT. MEMBERS OF HOME FREE ARE, TIM FOUST-- BASS /HAS A FIVE OCTAVE RANGE. AUSTIN BROWN --HIGH TENOR. ROB LUNQUIST--LEAD TENOR. ADAM CHANCE--BARITONE/BASS AND ADAM RUPP [RHYMES WITH UP]THE BEATBOXER. IF YOU SEE SOMEONE IN A COWBOY HAT OR BALL CAP, THAT IS THE BEATBOXER'S BROTHER , CHRIS THE ORIGINAL BARITONE WHO LEFT IN 2016 TO GO HIS OWN PATH. HE HAS HIS OWN MUSIC CHANNEL. THE OTHERS HAVE SOLO CHANNELS BESIDES THE HOME FREE CHANNEL CHRIS AND ADAM FORMED THE GROUP IN 2000 OF THREE. THERE HAS BEEN A FEW OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAS LEFT UNTIL THE NEW LINE-UP OF 2016. CHANCE, WHO THEY CALL THE NEW MEMBER BECAUSE OF HAVINH TWO ADAMS WAS THE BASS SINGER OF STREET CORNER SYMPHONY A GROUP FROM SEASON TWO.

Been in country 25 years made a album with 25 songs all are great Has Pitt Bull and Stevie Wonder on harmonica and Snoop doggy

Trace would be proud of y’all and you comments

I'd like to see y'all do Wrong Side of Heaven by Five Finger Death Punch but please use the official video. It's a gut punch about treatment of veterans and the struggles of PTSD.

The choir was the West Point Glee Club!

The first verse is not the revolutionary war which was the 1700s but the civil war in 1864

the Empty Chair salute to the ones gone.

Trace did this song with the West Point Glee Club...it's even better than this one and definitely worth your time. I buried my uncle at Arlington on August 30...USMC (20 years) Korea and Vietnam combat veteran...he is on sacred ground now. I watched another reaction of this song and the gentleman brought up an interesting question. He's wondering if Trace means that all of our fallen men and women are in "limbo" and can't go home until the last shot...that last shot being the last shot of all wars. I would love to know if Trace put a deeper meaning in the song.

You should check out the song Angel Flight. Awesome song.

Watch the live CMA Performance!

if YOU earned that EAGLE GLOBE AND ANCHOR...make sure you wear it right

Y'all should listen to Riding with privet Malone

As a Vet I recommend 8th of November by big and Rich and American by Gods Amazing Grace by Luke Strickin

That’s the naval chore choir

On the double album is the empty chair in 2023

You should react to “A Soldier’s Memoir” by Joe Bachman! It shows 2 soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan! One is from the US Army and the other is from the US Marines!

New subscriber, old lady. You should try Gordon Lightfoots, Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald. True story from 1971.

You'll be amazed as to where you'd find the strength to defend this land, even as a civilian. That's what separates us from the rest of the world ( for the most part) the patriotism that we have. So thankful for our military and how brave they are, as George Washington said "What separates the American Christian apart from all others of the world, is we will die on our feet before living on our knees" Our Men and Women fight ferociously on other countries soil to keep them at bay and away from our land, but could you imagine, how much ferocious they would become if the enemy was on our soil? Where their families are, not to mention and you guys even said it without thinking about it, "I'd fight if I had too" You're right, you would find a gun and go out there as a civilian and back up your military brother or sister to protect that flag and our freedom and our families. It's not just the Military's responsibility that the flag continues to wave, it is ours as well. So, the enemy wouldn't just have our military to contend with, which would be HELL all on it's own, but also the American patriot that's a civilian. We are one big dysfunctional family that fight hard amongst each other, but love hard too when the time comes to defend one another from an outside enemy.

I served in the Vietnam war when I was nineteen.

I wanna be in the calvary by Corb Lund

Hey guys... if you want a great patriotic video? Watch THE STAR BANGELED BANNER AS YOU NEVER SEEN BEFORE.... Just look up that title and react to it please... other reactors absolutely love it!!!!!!!

At theACM Awards show

You think this hit you go watch the live version with the west point glee club, you won't even get to the song before your choked up as the person introduces the song.

Civil War, not Revolutionary War. Both of my Great Grandfathers fought in the Civil War. My Paternal Grandfather and his 4 brothers fought, only 3 came home. The 2 youngest boys did not.

Nothing But. z reason i love him was pulled onstage by him to thinking Aint no thinking thing around here. danced and he kissed me 25 years ago.

Check all his albums has a song on each one

You should listen to the 8th of November by big and Rich. It’s a true story and it’s awesome.

God is with everyone if you would just accept Him

At y'all age I was already in combat in baghdad. It's crazy to me y'all worried about a draft just 15 years ago that was never even a concern cuz men signed up to fight still. Men and women n teenagers.

you guys do know that the Revolution war and the Civil War are 2 different wars over 100 years apart right? if not get off RU-vid and educate yourselves...

You should do the live one at the CMA awards with the West Point Glee Club. Much sadder more realistic as it show our wounded warriors helped by the Wounded Warriors Project. It’s for all of our fallen, wounded soldiers and vets that served we can’t let the racist, fascists take our freedom and our democracy from us.

Please check out Toby Kieth "American Solider" If you have ever known a Solider this song will ring true. ❤️🤍💙
