"The Man" 

John Rich in one song, just sang about more history than most college kids know these days.. God Bless the United States of America 🇺🇸💪

My Daddy fought in WWII & my Father-in-law fought WWII, Korean & Vietnam War. I was seven years old when my Daddy went to heaven. My Father-in-law died in 1990 he was hailed a war hero & is buried in Arlington National Cementary. Both my Daddy & Father-in-law fought with Valor for America. They gave nothing less than blood, sweat & tears for this once great country. True American Heroes!!

What a wonderful tribute. God bless our Vets.

You're a good man John. Thank you for everything. God Bless you.

We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the Brave men and women who answer Uncle Sams call ! I salute you all !

Okay, I’m crying. My uncle Alfred Leon Schellenger died at the Battle of the Bulge in 1944 and he’s buried there in Spa Belgium, Henry Chapelle Cemetery. This was the most beautiful song I’ve heard you play. Thank you.

Ok now I am crying. God bless each and every one of the men and women that have kept and do keep us safe every day. Thank you John for this lovely tribute.

I am 52 years old and I have worked for Thacker Memorial Monument Company for 30 years and about a month ago me , my son who has been working by my side for 11 years " yes I am very blessed because working with my son every day is absolutely a blessing" we processed and installed a unique pair of stones for an elderly gentleman who was a I think late 70s or early 80s VETERAN and when we finished the job I reached out my hand to shake his and told him how much I appreciated and respected him for his service and sacrifice and what he said brought me to tears and still does to this day! Please give me a second to wipe the tears from my eyes. He told me and my son that he appreciates the gesture but it WAS A PRIVILEGE to serve HIS COUNTRY! And I will not lie that hit me like a ton of bricks! What happened to the real men who were proud to be called to defend our Freedoms? This man was so humble that every time I think about his words I start crying like a baby! What has this country become????

Thank you Mr. Rich! This tribute to our Veterans is beautiful. My tears made me remember all of my family members who served, the pride I feel is enormous, America needs this song as a reminder of why we are proud to be Americans. Thank you for devoting so much of your creativity and time to our majestic veterans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤

GodBless you John Rich for Writing this song. Every Word needs to be said to All who have Served and truly Saved Us and Our Country. 🙏❤❤❤❤

Best song ever. Thanks Mr. RICH AND the GREATEST GENERATION that saved our Freedom. ❤❤❤❤❤

Great song. Proud daughter of a Navy veteran and from a family of many veterans. My father-in-law was also a Navy veteran and my husband’s family has many veterans. Thank you for honoring our veterans and our country.

Amen!! Great song!! God bless all our veterans and Service Men and Woman!! Thank you John Rich!!

Gpa & uncle- Army (WWII), Father-Airforce, Brothers-Marines & Coast Guard, Son-Navy.... soon to be son in law- Marine...... We've lost the greatest generation with this new generation. God help us we don't need another war to remind us. This song does a great job. -Thank you.

My father served in WWII as tail gunner for mighty 8th Army Air Force. Flew many missions over Germany. He physically survived but not mentally - died at 80. God have mercy on our country, if not for us, for those who sacrificed so much.

Thank you for your service dear Veterans. You were in the thick of it, and in one of the worst wars in United States History. There wasn't a family that didn't know someone who never came home. My Father was in the Navy Air corps but was a mechanic machine mate II or something like that. He didn't have to fight but repaired the planes used in the war. Handsome group of Patriots here! ❤🎉

This songs needs to be heard by every living vet be for it's to late thank your for your service and our freedoms

I'm an Army brat. Daddy joined the Navy at the tail end of WWII. I don't remember when he joined the Army, but one of Mommie's brothers brought him back from a tour in Germany. They were married in 1958. During his military career he served in several states and did tours in Korea, Vietnam, and Germany. Our family was blessed because he and my brother both served in Vietnam and they came back alive. Neither talked about their experiences over there. Daddy left this earth 10 years ago. My brother is living with my sister. My husband, also, had a career Army man for a dad. I can't thank the veterans enough for serving wherever their commanders tell them to go. There are several of you country artists who write such heartfelt lyrics. I always listen to "8th of November" every year. Thank you for honoring the men and women who live with seen and unseen battle scars.

Amen! Awesome song! These kids nowadays need to realize that we need another "greatest generation", not soy boys!

My Grandfather, Father, Uncles, Brother, nephews, Son and myself all veterans, thank you.

Amen God bless America and all our veterans I'm a navy veteran Vietnam era 1972 to 1975 served on the USS Vesole DD 878 again thanks.

Thank you John! I hope that young people remember history. My dad was in the Navy in WWII, he enlisted at seventeen and his parents had to sign for him. He was my greatest hero until his passing in 2017, and remains my greatest hero even now.

One in a million John Rich hats off from this veteran!😇🇺🇸

AMEN! PRAISE THE LORD! AND PASS THE AMMUNITION!

Another great one! And perfect for Veteran's Day coming up.

My father was a WWII Navy Pilot in the South Pacific. He also served in the Korean War. Thank you for this song.

Amen!¡!!

You brought tears to my eyes, I didn't serve during that time, but I did and I was willing.

H.O.G family love to you Mr John Rich.. again heartfelt song 💯

It’s songs like this that make me a proud American veteran. God Bless America!

This left me speechless with tears.... thank you.

Happy Veteran's Day to all my brothers in arms. I salute you and thank you for your service. May we all meet in Valhalla one day. "This we'll defend" 🇺🇸

Such a beautiful tribute to the men who made our country great and strong. As a mom of a marine of 26 years and a navy daughter of 20 years this song touches my heart deeply. Thank you John Rich doesn’t seem enough in appreciation of this song but my heart ❤️ is behind these two little words Thank You!

God Bless You, John Rich for always standing up for this country no matter what shape it's in. My Dad was a WW2 Army veteran. He joined the day after Pearl Harbor and served the duration of the war in the Pacific Theater. My husband was a VN Army veteran of 68-69. Thank God they both came home. I am so proud of them. This song touches deep in my heart. Thank you for sharing your God given talents with us. I hope you know how much you are loved. GOD BLESS OUR VETERANS!

Great song Mr Rich. Thank you for all you do!! God bless.

Thank you for this song, your patriotism and your stand.

He has so many patriotic songs. Just love his music. He tells stories.

Truth

Thank you for this reminder that too many either have forgotten or never learned about the men & the many women back home who pulled together to do what had to be done to preserve our freedoms & liberty. And thank you to my Grampa, my Pop, my Dad, & my Uncle (Sam was his nickname…hence my YT name). They all enlisted. They all came home. Different generations. But the same foundational principles. To help people escape death under tyrannical rule. Well done, John Rich. From a freedom loving, grateful American citizen & patriot, thank you to all of our veterans & active military, as well as, police & firefighters. There aren’t enough thank yous…🇺🇸

thank you to all the heroes 🙏 for your service

As a combat veteran this song brings tears to my eyes.
