Semper Fi brother.

Thanks for your service to our country, brother.

@@russ4862 thanks Russell. It was truly my honor.

THANK YOU for YOUR service to our great nation sir. My brother also served in the USAF for 22 years. Each time he told us he was being deployed to the Middle East, our hearts broke. We endured that for 4 tours and 7 years. I see first hand how that war affected him. There are still things even today that he will not talk about that he saw over there. Our military has not, does not and will never receive the gratitude and appreciation they truly deserve. He retired 5 years ago. He is a completely different person now than he was before he went to the Middle East the first time. Each time he went, he changed. Having seen what it did to him, I can’t say THANK YOU to our military vets and active personnel enough.

@@pwphotography2054 Omg! Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly an honor to serve with such great people. Pass on my thanks to your brother!!!

Praise and respect to your grandfather. God bless him.

I knew a bunch like that when I worked at an aviation museum years ago. Most were aware they were seen that way...but they would deflect it. Indeed that generation was remarkable precisely because they were ordinary, but were called upon to do the extraordinary and unstintingly did it...

There is a reason they are known as "The Greatest Generation"

It was not really written for his brother. Vince wrote the song in tribute to the death of Kieth Whitely. He did not finish the song until after the death of his brother and felt the song was incomplete without adding one additional verse to tie his brother into the song as well. Thus, it became a tribute to both.

@@snowflakehunter Vince cleverly wrote the line "you were no stranger to the rain" for Keith's song I'm no stranger to the rain. Brilliant song writing.

Deanna, have you seen the Vince Gill version of this when at the end, the crowd sings the last verse back to him? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HUj_BMYt5ak.html

@@weslennon3425 oh that was wonderful! My favorite show is the Gaither Gospel Hour...just beautiful!

@@deannacrownover3 Myself as well, it's always so great, I was touched by Vince's reaction. I lost my sister in September, I had this song played at her funeral, she was also a child of God, and is now with her beloved husband. Thanks to Baylor Heart Hospital in Dallas, she was given a heart transplant, and gave us another 14 years with her.

@@weslennon3425 oh dear brother...she'll be with my brother and sister as well! Soon beloved, we'll see them again in Glory!

💙💙💙

Hi Charlie, I hope you're good.

That will be the famous performance where one of Vince's fellow performers took over the lead vocal partway through...

@@StudeSteve62 yes, Patty Lovelace. She's got some impressive songs herself.
