U.S.Military Tribute - They Were There (Granger Smith) - 4th of July Special 

I was a Soldier for 20 years, U.S. Army Medic, seems like only yesterday I Retired, I'm 64 now, this song says a lot. Thank You Sir.

Granger smith thanks for this... RIP SGT JENKINS. 2007 Iraq Baghdad

"land of the brave, but the brave aren't here... They're an ocean away" punched me in the feels

I will never be ashamed to support our military. now till forever.

The part were he said "for the ones coming home in pine wood boxes" no joke had a tear streak down my face. I thank everyone in the armed services.🙏🇺🇸

to those who disagree that's sad. let me ask you this do you like freedom? If you do then show respect to those who are fighting for our freedom.

Thank you to all those who gave their life for us to be here your sacrifice will not be in vain

Respect to my U.S. and Canadian brothers, I have so many awesome memories of working side by side with you guys during my 12 years service with the British Army in Iraq. If you see this comment boys ( Brodie, T.J, Scott, Marty, Brandon, Zwimmerman) im still alive and kicking, " Lock and Load" mofos!! 😉💂‍♂️ For the guys who paid the ultimate sacrifice, " Sleep well brothers, till we meet again!! " 🇬🇧 🇺🇲 🇨🇦

🇺🇸♥️🦅😍💪💯🙏💙 from italy.......u.s Is my Dreams 🇺🇸♥️

I've heard this a ton of a times. Every time I dwell on the people not caring about this country. I need to listen to something like this. It reminds me what I know, there are people who care.

Thanks Grainger Smith. As an Iraq Vet, you really captured some deep feelings in your lyrics.

As a Retired Military Person, This is beautiful. Thank you.

My brother-in-law .. KIA, Afghanistan, Nov 9, 2009, Raider. From this old vet (USAF, TAC, 1971-72, Vietnam, Air Force Intelligence) to SSgt. Charles Cartwright .. You are FOREVER MISSED .. FOREVER LOVED!!

Thank you Granger Smith for this wonderful song I come from a big military family my great grandfather was in ww2 with my great uncle and my uncle and my grandfather was in Vietnam he is still alive but everyone else is not so thank you so much for this amazing song

Proud woman army combat vet God bless🇺🇸

I had the fortune to serve with some of this nations finest men and women during my 15 years (3 USMC and 12 US Army). Those were some of the best days of my life. I still deal with the loss of some of them. It's heartbreaking but it's a part of it. They sacrificed their lives for us all. My best friend Big Joe was killed in Vietnam and never knew it until many years later when he contracted cancer from Agent Orange. He is only one of many names I carry with me.

Vietnam veteran 66,67,68. It was tough but we got through it. God how I wish I could go back for just one day. I miss them all🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Our soldiers may be gone, but they will never be forgotten. My great great uncle died during the Korean War. He served in the Army as a pilot. Rest in peace SGT Eugene Yost.

Benning, GA Airborne Ranger Sniper Special Forces Operative First Sgt. 24 missions 54 jumps Bosnia/ Afghanistan POW (Al Qaeda) 46 weeks escaped with all 31 men under me and none injured but me yet since then have heard that 6 of those served under me have given their lives for the sake of other soldiers by what I taught them HOOAH !!

God bless America on this 4th of July. Thank you Truly to those who have served, past present and future!! I feel bad for every American that is suffering right now under this Administration in 2022.

Much love to all my brothers and sisters in each branch of military across the world Who have laid down their lives for one of their fellow Military members On their left and right or for the country they chose to stand up and fight for. Until vala halla ! Rest in paradise to each Of the brothers and sisters Who made the ultimate sacrifice and lay down their life. Not to mention all of the ones who brought the war zones back home and lay down their life to suicide Or From anything that took took them from The world we live in.
