Gone Home - Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder 

Thanks!

Prayers for you and your family! Hallelujah, Amen 🙏 🙌 ❤️

Welcome home Soldier

Thank You for all your sacrifices ! I was an Infantryman during Vietnam but not stationed in country. I felt lucky. Take care brother !!

Keep writing brother. Viet Nam era vet. Never went in country but the rest of us were support. Have brother-in-law decorated by Westmoreland for defending almost overrun fire base. Over 7000 rounds of M-16 ammo by small group of surviving defenders. He is dying slow death from exposure to Agent Orange as it destroys organs. Most did not survive but know that many war deaths are NOT ON THE BATTLEFIELD. Many are back home in rehabs, VA homes and hospitals.

May our Heavenly Father always bless you 🙏 ♥️ ✨️

This ol desert storm veteran thanks you for your service to this great country. God bless you

Neither am I, but we can try.

Ralph Stanley's FUNERAL

Yes, my dad is there, as well as many other dads.

Amen,

Thanks!

I believe this may be a Bill Monroe song!

drabdr Thank you.

That type of attitude of doing what needs to be done no longer exist today it’s a shame this country would be so much better if people did nt ask for hand outs

I have a deep respect to these Soliders who gave their life for our Country.

I fear when the last of this generation has gone up. Their stories and experiences and knowledge will be forgotten and lost

Amen.

Thank you, as do I.

So sad. I remember a few Ww2 town characrers who were combat vets. One was 'sarge' who would go to local cafe, buy 3 cups of coffee, sit on sidewalk and "talk to his men". There were others who were "alkys" and unfairly misjudged because people did not understand the HELL they survived. God bless ALL our veterans. May we wake up and realize there are many homeless vets today that are being misjudged and cast aside by an ignorant, forgetful, society and non-caring, profit driven politicians.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment.

This is a very beautifully written song, it certainly provokes thoughts of the sacrifices these men have made over the years. My father was in the middle east and fought against Rommel among many other things. He was just a young man and came home very broken. He never got over the fact he had killed other young men. I heard him cry in the early hours of the morning many times. He end up turning to alcohol which not only destroyed him but his family as well. He died a tragic death at just 45, the war wasn`t won for him. As much as I admire and respect these men and women that have defended our freedom I do wonder who the winner is

Thank you for your reply. We do have a just and merciful God. I know my heavenly Father has his hand on this earth and all that dwell in it. I became a Christian after my father died and I now know there is a purpose in every thing. All part of Gods plan for us. God bless and keep you also. In the precious name of Jesus

True words Rick. I'm from South Africa - simply love Blue Grass. Ricky and band are great musicians and understand how to play this music. This song makes me long for my father in law - he would have loved this song. Fought in Italy in WW II.

Yes sir, Mr. Bill wrote heartfelt songs as well as funny ones.

Yes!

+Darlinda Lowe Amen!

Sarah Walker You’re welcome.

Roy Bernardo Thanks

Thank you.

I saw a video on you tube about a German fighter pilot who came upon an American Bomber that was barely limping back to base, it was all shot up and barely moving: he caught up with it rapidly and came from behind and he moved even with the cockpit and could see the pilot and co-pilot clearly. The pilot of the Bomber looked out his window and saw the German pilot staring at him and his eyes became round with fear. The German pilot flew his plane around the bomber and saw it had no defense. He came even with the cockpit again and thought of his brother who was also a fighter pilot who had been shot down in combat and killed. He maintained eye contact with the pilot of the Bomber and said to himself, if I were to shoot those men it would be the same as murder, so with a nod to the American pilot he dipped his wings and flew off. He thought about the Bomber and wondered if the crew had made it back safely so he had memorized the numbers on the plane and contacted the War dept and found they had made it safely. He told his story and got their home addresses and made contact with the pilot and arranged a meeting. Their reunion was an event of great joy as the American pilot had always wondered about the German fighter pilot and the great mercy he had been shown.

Amen

We have one WW2 veteran here in our small town, Edith, she was a flak gunner in Berlin in '45.

I apologize for our mistakes. I wasn't alive then to do anything but I am now.

Thank you for your comment. I'm very sorry you lost your dad. Yes, they're all precious, indeed.
