My son is buried at Arlington. He served 6 years before an IED took him. I took his three kids there and we had a little picnic at his headstone. As we left his six year old said " Papa, I think daddy is happy with all his friends around him. ". That little girl just kills me sometimes.

5:34 To a vet, this is not a sad song. It's a deep song that celebrates the fallen. With this song, we know that a lost brother or sister is being cared for and respected. It gives us confidence to keep going.

They're the reason why I always stood for the pledge of allegiance back in high school. A friend had asked me why i would stand for the pledge of allegiance, and I told her that " You see a flag with some stars and stripes, but I look at the flag and see the blood of all those who fought, who gave their lives, who lost limbs, who shed blood and tears, and for my two brothers who are serving. I feel as if I'm slapping them in the face if I don't do this."

We are honored to have served!

Have never heard this before. 60-year-old Vet here and I was crying like a child. Thank you for Playing.

I'm not even American and this song reduces me to a blubbering mess every time I see it. Thank you for such a heartfelt honest reaction.

The part about his grandpa recognizing him when he got to heaven and saluting him gets me every time.

While visiting arlington a couple years ago my family happend upon a procession for a Marine my kids knew to stop as i snapped to attention and stayed there crying as they passed. I consider myself lucky to have been there to honor this brother Marine.

As a veteran, it makes me feel it is worth it to see people who use their freedom positively as you do. Keep on. Stay free.

Trace Adkins did a song called "Til the Last Shot's Fired" and the best is when he did it live on the CMA's with the West-point Choir but be warned it's a sad one

Maggie, you are not the only one holding back tears. Rest In Peace Brother. Semper Fi.

Just heard this reaction, Maggie. Thanks for doing it, and thanks for reaching out to the vets. Please, remember the forgotten 22. Every day, around 22 veterans take their own life. Not all casualties happen on the battle field. Dale White, Chief Petty Officer, U.S. Navy, Retired

the song simultaneously triggers overwhelming sadness and a glow of pride in nation.......who am i to doubt the principles of those who so selflessly sacrificed for my well being

This is still one of the greatest songs ever made. To my brothers and sisters who put the uniform every day, and especially for those who died with it, God bless you and thank you for your service.

My father named me for his older brother who didn't make it home from Europe in WW II. Dad did but lost his hero ... his big brother and at yet he was deeply proud of their service but rarely spoke about things. He earned the honor of being laid to rest in Arlington and since the day he got his piece of sacred ground the meaning of Arlington truly hit home - and this song helped me heal from his no longer being in my life. I was able to understand better the man he was and all he did for me and so many others. The words that get me every time "on sacred ground in the best of company ... I'm one of the chosen ones I made it to Arlington ... " Everyone should visit there one day and listen to the quiet and then to the peel of 21 guns and the mournful wail of taps as the bugler offer the final salute as another is laid to rest ... it will move you in a way that will change you forever - in a good way!

❤️ While I also find it sad, I probably hear it differently since my father is a vet and eligible for burial at Arlington (he has chosen to be buried at a different national cemetery). I find it profoundly beautiful and heartwarming that the soldier made it home and not left in a field somewhere overseas. A salute to the Blue Star and Gold Star families out there. Blue Star families have a direct family member serving in a war zone. Gold Star families lost a direct family member to war. God bless them all!

Tears are healthy and the greatest form of respect. Dont ever be embarrassed or ashamed.

Maggie i served in the Army for 22 years and it also touched my heartt thank you for your reaction to this one

❤ 💙 💜 💖, I'm the grandson of an Army vet, the son of a 30yr Marine vet, brother to a Coast Guard vet, an Air Force vet myself, and now uncle to a new Marine. Thank you, Ma'am for your heartfelt reaction.

Trace does an amazing job with this and with the Wounded Warriors Project.❤❤ My dad was a Vietnam vet so I appreciate this song a lot.

If a song can bring a smile to your face or a tear to your eyes, then the writer and singer have done their job to leave a lasting memory in your soul you will always remember. Great song and video.

Maggie Thank you for this one. As a veteran with 38 years service, this brought a tear to my eyes, just don't be afraid to let your emotions show. Thank you, thank you, from us Vererans from down under here in Australia 🇦🇺 ❤❤❤❤💙💙💙💙💙🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🙏

As a soldier this hits harder then people realize. People call me a hero but I'm not. The real heros are the ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice and are one of the chosen ones who made it to Arlington. Pray for my brothers and sisters as we continue to fight the good fight and may God continue to Bless you Ms. Maggie and your family Respectfully Sgt Mora.

I've attended a number of military funerals, and several years ago I was honored to serve as pallbearer for my cousin who was buried with full military honors, and the folded flag ceremony, the rifle salute, and the playing of TAPS always get to me. We owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to our service people.

My first time hearing Trace Adkins. Need to listen to more of him. Very sad song, so meaningful, a real tearjerker 🎖

Proud to have served our great nation through three deployments to the Middle East. The support of family, friends, and an entire nation is definitely the motivation those deployed need to make it home. Thank you for taking the time to react to this song. It gets me every time I hear it.

This song hits me like no other. I personally have a friend buried there. Hes the reason I'm only at 4%0 disabled. I pay my respects to him whenever I manage to get there. He defiantly earned his place there. Thank you for what you said about The Veteran's. Nice to know that not everyone has forgotten us.

I served the country for 22 years in the Navy, and all these songs hit the heart very heavily...

I was apart of the USAF Honor Guard and did this for 2 yrs ( special duty ) and I gotta tell ya these men who died deserve all the songs……….

Trace is a POWERFUL bass voice.

Couldn’t have the freedoms we have without them ❤️

"They folded the flag" is when I tear up.

As a U.S. Army veteran this song gets to me every time I hear it.

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written! And Trace does it justice!

Til the last shot fired is another of Trace Adkins to listen to ❤ 🤍 💙

As a Combat US Army veteran who has many friends buried in Arlington I thank you for this..I love your reactions...

I'm a retired Navy Corpsman. Semper Fi to my Marines. Thank you Maggie for your response. Looking forward to more.

Beautiful, poignant and haunting. Trace Adkins is the perfect voice for this song, simply meant to be. Thank you for a heartfelt reaction!

Baby girl ya gotta keep going. It gives me chills every time. Thank you to all that gave their all.

After this, a reaction to 8th of November (Big & Rich) would be great.

Sad but beautiful song. Thank you is never enough for those who are serving to protect us. ❤️🎖

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Don't hold back those tears, everyone buried at Arlington deserves your emotional reaction. Awesome.

When you see the man in concert you can feel it in your chest and he's a really good guy

Trace has the most amazing voice. He is a big tall drink of water who has a lot of daughters and is a beautiful soul

I'm 31 and a GWOT veteran. About half my family and most of my friends are buried in Arlington, and someday so will I.

I can’t stop crying… this song kills me in the best way possible. Nobody could have done this song better than Trace Adkins. ♥🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

💟 from an army vet to all my brothers and sisters in service to our great nation, thank you for standing at the wall with me, God bless you all

I suggest trace’s song “Till The Last Shots Fired”. It’s another powerful song.

The line where hiis grandpa clicked his heels and saluted me. Gets me every time.

I know I'm late to your video... but my uncle is getting laid to rest today at Arlington today ... covid slowed the process its been 2 years since he passed and now he's finally getting the funeral he well deserves.... love your reaction

Having a family with a military background (most of my great uncles/ my grandpas, and a few uncles and cousins) this song always gets me. Military funerals (outside of Arlington) are super emotional. The Taps and the guns, the folding of the flag, to a soldier handing off the flag to their loved one on behalf of the president and all of The United States. It’s so emotional and really the most respectful type of burial. Beautiful reaction ❤️

Trace Adkins does a lot for wounded vets. Even those who never served, can give to those who were wounded, giving all they could for our Nation. It fills me with pride, to know I can put my name next to others who have served as everyone's protectors.

I’ve heard this song 100 times and it gets me every damn time

Such a wonderful tribute to all those laid to rest in Arlington. Trace is a class act and this song makes a person remember freedom does not come free. As for the crying part goes. I well up every single time I hear this song. To show emotion is ok, it means you have a heart. Great reaction to a beautiful tribute.

This song brings me so much pride and sorrow. All my family members who have served qualify to be burried in Arlington cemetery when they pass. My boyfriends cousin passed overseas and is burried there . It’s such a powerful song and should bring a realization that this is why we don’t disrespect the flag or soldiers that were lucky to come home safe.

Maggie, I am 6th generation veteran, I spent 10 years in the US Navy as a Hospital Corpsman. My first duty station was Naval Hospital Bethesda (now Walter Reed Army Medical Center) I have been to Arlington many times. The first visit was Memorial Day 1987. I encourage everyone to make a visit if you go to DC. It is Hallowed Ground. As for this song, I'm 55, and I tear up every single time I hear it. “I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

❤❤❤ I love Trace Adkins! His voice is soooo rich. I have always been a sucker for deep voices.😍❤❤❤

Everytime I hear this song I think about my lil brother thats in the National cemetery in Salisbury NC. He was so proud to be in the Army and left us too damn soon.

Trace Adkins has so many moving and amazing songs. Semper Fi is great. Another great story song by Darryl Worley “if something should happen”

It moves you if it's good! Having been in three wars and buried friends, you are not the only one that had a hard time watching this one. Thanks Maggie.

One of my favorites. I tear up everytime I hear this. Thank you Maggie!

I live 1 mile from Arlington and pass it everyday and I have 2 family members and 3 friends there and never forget it every time I pass.

A beautiful tribute to those who have fought and died defending our country. Trace is a huge supporter of all branches of our military and a sponsor of the Wounded Warrior Project.

Another great performance by Trace Adkins is “til the last shots fired” when he performed it at an awards show with the West Point glee club. It’s very good.

Nothing wrong with shedding tears to this one. Magnificent written song. Love it. Let's live in peace.

"Don't cry for us" As Toby Keith so eloquently puts it, "I'm not crying for you, I'm crying for me."

As a tradition (of sorts) I play this song to myself during every holiday… I don’t care which one. I’m lucky to be an American and humbled by the price so many people have paid simply to let me see another day. I often end those days listening to it before bed, and it still brings me to tears….. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have been there once..My uncle is buried there and I was named after him. I cry every time I hear this.

As a 16yr vet, 100% disabled, survivor's guilt is real. My brothers are never forgotten. Please take a look at Five Finger Death Punch, Wrong side of Heaven.

I have 4 relatives in Arlington and five more including my father in Nstional Military Cemetery. This song tears me up ever single time.

The part of this song that always makes me crack is the end of the second verse, when his grandfather recognizes him and salutes. Both my grandfathers were in WWII; I served at the very end of the Cold War (under Reagan and Bush), and this one song just rips through me.

Beautiful lyrics!!! And his voice is so deep and somehow comforting.

❤️ ♥️ ❤️ ♥️ ❤️ ♥️ ❤️ ♥️ ❤️ ♥️ ❤️ ♥️❗ Awesome reaction, Maggie! Loved it! And to our veterans ... S-A-L-U-T-E !!

real man, real patriots, real country!!

Oh, honey, the look on your face when your realized what this song is about. Bless you.

I am a Vietnam Veteran thank you for all the men and women who have Served

Honey I've seen this about to times and still cry. My father in law is buried there. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😭😭😭

i am speechless. Accept to say thankyou for your service and sacrifice. Love is not powerful enough a word for you all who serve or have served or have given the greatest sacrifice.

I watched it many times when it first came out, and it still gets to me

One of the most respectable reactions I've ever seen. You get it. 👏👏👏

Love Trace and this one hits so close to home. Served 24 years, wife 26 and eldest 20.

20 years Navy. Salute to all my brothers and sisters who wear/wore.... Will wear a uniform. Thank you Maggie for your reaction. Your tears are proof of a gentle, caring heart. Don't hide them, be proud of 'em.

❤️ this heart is for my adopted father and my Uncles who all served during World War II . And this ❤️ is for my birthday dad and my cousins from my adopted family who served in Vietnam. This is the first time I hear this song, I have a lot of other music by Trace Adkins.

I'm fortunate enough that after serving in the U.S. Army for over 25yrs... I have no regrets. To those that never came home... you never left those that served with you. R.I.P Heroes... we'll see you on the other side.✌🏽🇺🇸🪖

Arlington is the most humbling place on earth!

It’s always the “clicked his heels” part that gets me

this is one of a few song that brings tears to my eyes

Thank you for listening to this song. I had never heard it. I served in desert storm many years ago. And thanks to all are vets and military members for your sevice

❤ this song makes me cry and gives me chills every time I hear it

As a military veteran thank you for reacting to this song.

This song gets me. My kid brother is buried at Arlington. It kinda sucks cause I can't visit him as much as I'd like. I'm getting old now so traveling is becoming a problem. Anyway, all that aside I'm extremely proud of him.

I love this song but so hard not to get emotional. In fact i cry every time I hear it. But damn what a great song. God bless and keep our men and women in uniform safe

I'm a former US marine, this gets me Everytime... Straight up ugly cry. The thing that hits hardest is my grandfather was also a marine. ❤

Trace Adkins till the last shots fired. Absolutely heartbreaking, but definitely worth it.

You should really check out Trace Adkins, Till the last shots fired with westpoint choir, It is amazing!!!

Thank you Maggie for your heart felt reaction to " Arlington". My family has served in the Military for 4 generations and it's wonderful there are people like you who appreciate us and our brothers and sisters who never made it and rest in 155 National Cemeteries. Thank you!

If you live in the states and have never been to Arlington National Cemetery it's amazing.. I drove 10 hours to visit it and just walked around all day paying respect to heroes I never knew.. Another amazing place to visit is Gettysburg..

Maggie ive seen this many times and I cry every time!

🥇🥇B e a utiful Maggie. I'll never forget that reaction live. This was pre "mugs" rule I believe :D Well done! Oh and btw Trace Adkins is the original singer of "Honkey Tonk Ba donkadonk" from Butts remix if you didn't know! ttys!
