Welcome Home Soldier by Rory Lee Feek 

I left Vietnam 53 years ago, but the war never left me. Also our great home coming. 53 years later I still cry.

As a former Army Ranger I want to thank everyone for thanking our soldiers. Having your support means the world to us.

To all Vietnam Vets. Welcome Home soldier. We love you and thank you. You fought hard. God bless you

Thank you to all that served our country and those that didn't make it home

My dad served proudly and with honor for 25 years and 3 wars. He came home to this I was shocked by it as a 12 yr old. My husband served 20 yrs & 2 wars also DMZ.

First time hearing this song and it made me cry. All of our soldiers should have been welcomed home way back when and always should be welcomed home. God Bless all of our Military Heroes .🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

To all of you Vietnam vets and all vets in general, I am sorry if you were treated badly. You are all heroes in my eyes.

3rd year as a US Marine. Respect to all who served before me. 🫡

Vietnam Vet 66, 67, 68. Three long tours behind me …….I walked out the gate. There was no one there to meet me when we got back, no one at the gate when I walked out it either. I’ve spent my life looking for me. The boy that somewhere disappeared between the missions and the strikes. One day I looked up and he was gone. I’m 76 now. I left Vietnam but Vietnam hasn’t left me.

this song makes me cry because a year ago yesterday my cousin was a day away from coming home from the war and his air force plane was shot down and he was killed. He would have been home a year today! :( RIP Michael I will always love you big cousin! your kids will grow up knowing that their dad is a hero! You would be so proud they turned one today! 1 year after the day you were killed and on the same day that you be back on American soil! RIP YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!

It's about time America started welcoming her heroes home. On January 5th, 1969 I was welcomed home from Vietnam when we landed in California---welcomed home by being SPIT ON! Thank God our young men and women will never ever have to say that the worst day of their tour was the day they put their feet back on American soil! This country should still be ashamed of those days. Karl, thank you for a splendid job with that song. You and people like you almost make up for what us Vietnam vets went through.

I’m currently a soldier in the us army as 11B and I’m on my way home from Afghanistan. This song hits home for me

That was a great song, brought a tear to this old Vietnam vets eyes, welcome home to all you soldiers who serve today.

Miss my husband he never got to meet his baby son and his son is 7 month

A service wife needs to be a special kind of person - they need to be as strong as their serviceman relative who is deployed. Great record and says all it needs to do to make that homecoming more special.

Already got my paperwork all done just waiting for my mos to have an opening..can't wait to live my dreams and serve my beautiful country

I can't wait for my husband to come home he's been overseas for too long I miss u baby stay safe baby boy I love you honey you know I'm always trying to stay strong for you

I came home from Vietnam in 1967. I was marching in a memorial day parade in 68 when someone spit on my face. I can still feel it running down my cheek.

My dad served in Vietnam came home to so much disrespect no one knows what they had to go thou over there I was 10 when he cane home and he cried telling me how can America be like this we are just fight for this place and to make sure we stay free my dad passed 3/11/19 and I made sure he got his 21 gun shot I miss you dad I will keep fighting for this country just like you did

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SERVE OR HAVE SERVED. We who wait at home for you miss you and pray for you. Beautifully done Mr Sapp,

U.S.Army 1971-1991, retired, came home in Aug 1972 to San Francisco. It was the most surreal experience I had ever experienced. As a 19 year old soldier just back from Viet Nam. But I knew that this was my life and that the anger I was experiencing would change one day. I sit here now and watch with pride at the support given returning military. The kind of support that will ensure their return to family and country was not in vain. There will always be countries or people that think our way of life is wrong, but then again why are they trying to come live here. Thanks for the song Sir, its a wonderful way to show your love for this country and it's soliders. SSG Daniel D. Grooms Ret.

This really means alot to me I've been a former Marine and still serving like this video if you Over America and all serving for it

I've just heard this song for the first time, as a British Army veteran who served 16 years in some of the hottest spots in the world I just cried my eyes out, not something i would normally admit to, but with a song as powerful as this i would just like to welcome all solders Home, no matter what nation or flag you fly you have my respect and i Salute all who stand in the name of the free world, God bless

cant wait for mine to come home..... miss you baby so much. im trying to stay so stong.

cried like hell.. We were given a welcome home parade some time in he 80s I was still mad as hell and just wanted to forget and wouldn't join in or go .. years later I hit the wall and went over the edge and into a black hole, got found by some other vets and nursed thru my hell and the bastards got me my medals (I never wanted them as far as I was concerned the DVA could stick them up their proverbial arses). I finally got talked into doing an Anazc Day march it was the first time I had cried since christ knows when, this is the second time

I'm a kid about to become a man my journey of becoming a soldier is hours from beginning just waiting at the airport

This is a great song. This is the first time I heard this song and I fell in love with it. Thank you, Mr. Sapp for recognizing and dedicating a song to Our Soldiers. My hubby comes home in 2 days after being gone for 2 years...can't wait! I'm going to be sure to play this for him when he gets home. Again, Thank You.....

Lot of truth in this song,I know,I was one of those that WWII vets and Americans forgot and shunned,along with many other fellow Nam vets.The real folks who got theshort end of the stick were the guys who never made it back alive,my hat is off to them.

i dont like the people who dislike the video.

If you served in Vietnam, this song always brings tears to your eyes. I was there in '66 and '67 in the Marine Corps. I'm still amazed that I survived the experience.

After the Viet Nam War and back in the states, my buddy drank every evening until totally wasted. Then he would walk the streets talking but not to anyone, about how he wore his uniform proudly when we landed home only to be spit on at the airport again and again. It was in 1994, the I last saw him. God bless him wherever he is.

my grandfather was a major I the Air Force he told me how he felt coming home to people who should have been thanking him and instead yelled and spit on him. so to these men and women who are serving I just want to say thank you!

No matter how much time passes, the feelings and memories of old friends and moments brought by these songs never goes away. music is truly a gift that keeps on giving

My oldest brother was drafted to go to the Vietnam War. He didn't go but a friend of his did. He was a helicopter pilot and was shot down out of the sky. When I see a veteran or a soldier I thank them for all that they gave to America. Plus I tell them thank you for all that you did and gave for America. Also I tell them that they and their families are in my thoughts and prayers.

Still one of the best songs for those of us that served during Nam..Thanks works for us

The 18 people who disliked this song have never been or never knew anyone that was in the army my daddy was in the navy in ww2 all most all of my uncles were in the army and I thank every body see because they riched there lives for you and me so I want to thank you all you your service . You didn’t have to but you did so thankkkkk you soooo much I love everyone who served or are serving .

I did 3 deployments between the years 1999-2011. I'm a dual citizen, but I'm a Canadian Military Veteran. If they asked for my help. I would go back in a heartbeat. Just because I served under a flag that is red, and white doesn't mean that if the United States Military needed my expertise that I wouldn't give them the help that they asked for. My mom is a USA citizen, and my dad is Canadian. If you are connected to the North American Continent. I would be more than happy to defend your homeland because it is connected to mine. God BLESS our soldiers' no matter what flag you serve under. Stay safe, stay strong, and go home safe. Semper Fi!!!!! From a medically retired Canadian Colonol from the G.E.E.S.E (Geographical Elevation Estimation Specialist Experts) Veteran. Come home SAFE, and I agree that people should WELCOME you HOME with open arms after your deployment(s).

Great song means a lot I am a veteran from the Bosnia Herzegovina Croatia I return to Canada There was not much of a home coming. There is not even a memorial for us and that conflict

My father. Served 8 years in the USMC loved every minute of it. After he dedicated his life to Law Enforcement. He was the best father I could have ever asked for.. On 08/09/2020 I got us a ride to Tampa from an old coworker who was also a marine served 6 years and had PTSD. My dad saw him as his brother. My father and I had fought that morning. We left to Tampa my dad and I sat in the back seat. He gave me a fist bump. My friend fell asleep at the wheel. We hit a mile marker and a culvert which ejected everyone from the car. My father died on the scene. I didn't care about anything else other than if he was ok. I was told in the hospital when I woke up he didnt make it and died in the wreck.. I lost it. I couldn't move. Fractured my spine in 4 places. Broke my neck. Collarbone. Etc. I didnt feel the pain. I felt the pain of my dad no longer with me. I wished I had told him I loved him. Hugged him. Apologized. Something. I miss you dad.. RIP DADDY. I love you so fucking much

I am missing my boyfriend right now. I cannot wait until I say to him “welcome home.” I am going to hug him so much that I can not let go of him. I am so proud of him as well as I men and women. 🙏. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

He did, into a box.....my heart is his home, he will live there for ever😢

Makes me cry everytime I hear this song! God Bless All Of Our Troops past, present, and future!

This song goes perfectly in my “he’s deployed again🥺 just remember where he goes half my heart goes” playlist

I"m a afrikaner from SA. Been in the army in 1963. Did not fight on the Angola border but i have some hard memories. This song from Rory made me shed a tear. He is a great story teller through his singing Im sure he touch the heart of many men and woman. God bless you Rory. Jouye must be smiling from heaven.

I was going below the comments of vets and thanking them. But then I realized there's a lot, so I'm thanking you here. Thank you all for your service, to me you are all heroes. Thank you for those who served in the past, present, and those who will serve. God bless you and your families. And a moment of silence for our fallen.

This is the first time i've heard this song, it's beautiful and has me crying. Proud to be a born and raised girl from Virginia. Anybody that is not proud of our vets, what they stand for and how they served then OPINIONS ARE LIKE BUTT HOLES, EVERYBODY HAS ONE SO HERE'S,MINE, IF YOU DON'T LOVE OUR COUNTRY, WHAT OUR SOLDIERS FOUGHT AND DIED FOR YOU DON'T BELONG IN OUR GREAT COUNTRY SO GET THE HELL OUT

Beautiful song and Thank you our Military Heros and God Bless you all , always be safe wherever life takes you.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!. ❤❤❤ 10.22.23🎉❤😢😊😅

To all Veterans that listen to this song it might be a little late but `` Welcome home to all the men and women to fought for our Country. To those who didn't make it back I thank you for giving your life for us to live another day and I pray that every Veteran that is with us or has past that you all go to heaven and look down from above to see all the soldiers like you fighting for what you fought for and love that you pray for them that they might make it back home to the Country that they love and be welcomed back by friends and family and strangers. ``

this video needs more views so share it its agreat song and everybody needs to watch it,,,gpd bless the troops bring them all home safe

I want to thank all of the soldiers that have been or is in war for our freedom. I also want to say god bless you guys and say thank you

Whenever I see a soldier i tell them thank you for your service god bless all the military

2:40, I lost it. I can never get through that part without crying...so beautiful.

What a great song. Welcome Home...

I FINALLY FOUND WHO SINGS THIS SONG YES!!!! HOORAH

To any and all Vietnam Veterans: Welcome Home! You fought hard for this land you love and I thank you for all of us. We're happy to have you home and you never deserved the treatment you received. Thank you and we're thankful for you!

Wow this is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard

Ya know I’m glad really glad I live in America. I also realize that freedom is not free. There’s a price to pay. My father was in the Korean conflict and my uncles fought in WW2. So I think I get it. Respect and honor

Welcome home, know we are proud of you all, real heroes. I seen the hurt and deep misery and anger in my stepdad who raised three kids who weren’t his own. The pain finally passed and now the nightmares are gone away as he is in heaven almost three years now. Semper Fi

I'm praying for all of you

Thank you Rory Lee Feek! God bless you and your family. From a drafted disabled Republic of Vietnam combat veteran, 52 years ago.

I did'nt think i would cry when i saw this but I was so wrong It made me think of all the men and women overseas and I just wanted to say thank you and that if it was not for all of you and the Vets we would prob be in a different place. So THANK you and GOD BLESS AMERICA because we have all of you still fighting for us at home.and for the ones that are at home and the ones coming home WELCOME HOME

because its the soldier not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press

Thank you for your service and WELCOME HOME!!! To all who serves in our country's military

Come home soon and safe:) God bless our troops.

thank you to all of those service members who are serving and to those veterans thank you for your service

May all of those fighting for the UK, US, and all other NATO forces come home safely

thanks for everything soldiers I cried when I heard this song

When I was young I prayed every night that God would protect those young men who went to fight in that hell called Vietnam. I am 60 now and I know some of what they felt after serving 26 years myself. To all who served "Welcome home!!!"

Missing my Marine son. Can’t wait for you to be back home. Semper Fi 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

great song always gets to me, why is it that the only time i hear those 2 words is from other Vietnam vets and this song

I want to thank everyone in the armed forces, even if they are fighting an unpopular war. That doesn’t matter non. They risked their lives to protect us and this country. Also let’s give a big shoutout to all first responders who put their lives at risk every day.

This Song Breaks My Heart

I want thank you all for fighting for are county I slot you and thank you 🇺🇸

RESPEKT FROM GERMANY ❤❤❤❤❤

WELCOME HOME TO ALL SERVICE MEN, WOMEN, &BEASTIES..... from a Nam Vet's baby girl.... 💝

God bless and keep our precious Vietnam Vets! Shame on America, politicians and people like Jane Fonda. Thank you for your service, heros! Shame on the cowards who mistreated you!

Welcome back home 🤗

Beautiful ❤

Great video, hits hard.

Thank Youu Everyone and just for remember, please if someone starts trash talking please don't fight, just remember them talking bad about others doesn't make them a better person.

tears in my eyes...beautiful

this right here, is a universal song, if you translate to different languages, it will still have the same meaning, and heart.

Cant wait to get home... 3 months left... my youngest will be 7 months old when I get back.

I'm very young (12) but since I was 4 I have been wanting to serve in the army like my father and grand father, and my great grand fathers. And if there is anything I'd love is to not be honored during Memorial Day. Why you ask because they honor the ones who died in combat I believe and I pray over me and all of y'all who are joining armed forces or have loved ones over seas that they don't get honored on Memorial Day, I pray that one day there will be PEACE! LONG LIVE AMERICA!

great song thank you for it =)

when i turn 18 or 19 i going to join the air force

I cried. this song brings tears to my eyes. please look up the song I'm Already There by Lonestar. very emotional songs.

Our servicemen deserve our utmost respspect. They're willing to place their lives in danger where others cannot or will not. As somebody who's been trying to get in since 17, and is now 35, it means a lot to me that somebody is willing and able to die for our country. I'm willing, but short of a presidential override, I'm physically deficient. I've wanted to join for almost half of my life now.

Can't wait till you come back home from deployment bro

Beautiful tribute...thank you Rory
