I STILL ATTEND AS MUCH AS I CAN. IF YOU ARE MOVED BY THIS VIDEO, THEN BY ALL MEENS COME OUT TO A WARRIORS WATCH OR PATRIOT GUARD MISSION. YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AFTER!! ITS LIKE CRACK TO A CRACKHEAD!!!!
The above video was created from images taken at various Patriot Guard and Warriors' Watch Riders missions in Southeastern PA during the last few years:
The first few shots were of the funeral ride for Sgt. Jennifer Hartman: http://www.iraqwarheroes.com/hartmanj.htm
:55 seconds in until 1:42 are images from the Raudenbush funeral: Capt. Nathan R. Raudenbush, 25, of Pennsylvania, died Feb. 20, 2008 in Busayefi, Iraq, of wounds suffered when his vehicle encountered an improvised explosive device. He was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga.

It is my hope, my wish, that when the wars in Iraq and A-stan are over, that we have NO POWs or MIAs left behind. And I hope EVERY soldier, Marine, and first responder that has served our country, at any time, at some point hears someone say to them, "THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE." I hope every one of our troops that return from overseas will hear, "WELCOME HOME!" And I hope the families of those now serving, and of our fallen at some point hear someone say, "Thank you for your sacrifice."
-------I know all this, because that is me holding the flag @ 1:44 for Raudenbusch, and front and center @ 4:19, riding in the escort of the Stryker Birgade.
An innocent woman is being harrassed and recieving death threats here because of a scam. Nicholas you need to lay off. I am a real former Marine with the DD214 to prove it and you and you're family aren't military and as far as I can tell aren't even American citizens according to the flags you all are flying on your profiles. If you wanna harrass someone I'm available otherwise quit scamming people into believing you're something you aren't and leave this woman alone. Sorry for bringing this to this site but I thought a young ladies safety took precidence.
I have alot of respect for ALL the men and women who defend our freedom and keep us safe everyday! I pray for the ones who are away and at home....GOD BLESS THEM ALL!!
THANK YOU so much for sharing this very touching video....
Thank you for honoring all of our service men and women. Such a moving video. THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO DEFEND OUR FREEDOM AND KEEP US SAFE. GOD SPEED TO THOSE IN SERVICE AND GOD BLESS THE ONES ALREADY HOME.

Devils Lil Sister/Vets Lil Angel said that and more and I ask the same-thing you do my dear sister!!! May God Have Mercy On Her Soul and Me For Wanting Her To Go To The Front Lines....With-Out A Weapon!!!!
Devils little sister says it all....How dare you wish DEATH To Come in a hurry to A Marine fighting for her life. It makes me sick that our sons and daughters fight and die for people like you.....it apears you are the one that is fake.....How could you wish her a quick death.....We are her family...how could you say such a thing to her brother. God have mercy on you and me for what I am thinking about you "Devils little sister" Sincerely....CBD
Its pretty sad when there is someone here that claims to support our troops but is attacking my sister Loving-Warrior who is a U.S. Marine she is on this list and I think she should leave...I'd be happy to buy her a ticket to the front lines....Devils Lil Sister/Vets Lil Angel...people like her don't need to be supporting our troops
AS A MARINE CORP VET I WILL NEVER FORGET THE NIGHTS I WAKE UP WITH TERRIBLE IMAGES OF THE PAST,NEVER FORGET,ALWAYS REMEMBER THE AMERICAN VET,SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL PATRIOT GUARD RIDERS

You know, I thought I would never cry again. Thank you for sharing this with me. The tears were cleansing, and I thank you so much. I will put this in my events.
I lost a special brother last year,(and I don't think the pain will ever go away.) Not in the war, but he served for three years in Vietnam, and I thank God every day that he, as well as my oldest brother, and my ex-husband all came home safely. My daddy served in Occupied Japan during WWII, and my youngest brother served 6 years during peace time. I have several neices and nephews who have served, and thank God, every one of them made it home safe and alive! Praise You, Father God, for allowing my family to come to no harm at the hands of others. There are so many who don't come home. I pray for each of their families, that they may find peace. God bless you all. Wish I could be there. Thank you, again. Totally awesome videos.
THAT IS A GREAT VIDEO AND IF YOU HAVE A HEART IT WILL BRING TEARS TO YOUR EYES.GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE STILL FIGHTING FOR OUR COUNTRY.

Everyone at least in this country, even children, should see this video & then go talk to there 'local' politicians! A very good living History lesson! I've had family members(paternal & maternal) in every war all the way back to the Revolutionary War & some out of Country now. My dad & two uncles were in Europe during WW II! I agree PRAY for PEACE & DON'T TREAD ON ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For anyone to try and take your freedom wheather it's a neighbor or our government is a slap in the face to the vets, police officers and current military who fight everyday to protect it. Standup fight back and pay attention. "DON'T TREAD ON ME"
Luv it!! I have been to the wall to say my prayers for my friends and those I never knew, but they all are my friends & family. They have fought for me and you and they have earned so much in doing so. I miss my friends and feel for those that haven't made the wall yet and still live the horrors of war every day. TY you all for keeping our freedoms we have, luv Tripp!!

Watch this video:

Some of my brothers may be gone but they'll never be forgot! For those that understand I quote: (It's Honor First, It's Honor Last! For Life without Honor is Not much of a Life!)
I wish the so called leaders of this great nation could see this video and feel the true meaning of being an "AMERICAN".To go to Washington to serve "AMERICA" and not just to fill the pockets.To ensure the RESPECT all VETERANS deserve.It was with OUR blood this GREAT Nation was founded and kept FREE.And will,till the last shot is fired be kept free by OUR blood.I am extremly proud to have served "AMERICA" my country.I would proudly "stand to" anytime if need be.US ARMY 71-81
fredom has never been free.it took many of lives for us to live the way we live in this great country,yet so many take for granted how we got so lucky to have the freedom we have.just remember when you wake up in the morning its because of a vet who gave all he had to give for you to have what you have.it was a vet who gave what he could so you can be who you wanna be.but most of all it was a vet who layed down his life to give you your life that you enjoy so much.
so if you really want to honor them hang your flag and show the world your love for country and thank a vet for his duty he served for the country he loves so much.thank you each and every brother and sister who has faught for this country and for those still serving .
WOW what can i say except THANK YOU to both my older brother who both served in VEIT NAM they both made it home in BODY but there minds and hart realy never have yet. And THANK you to my baby girl MY YOUNGEST DAUGTHER SHE CAME HOME FROM AFFGAN alive but broken. THANK YOU AND WELCOME HOME
Awesome reminder for all of us. If this didn't cause a lump in your throat and make you feel that sense of pride in our Veterans, you are already dead inside.
Been on a many missions with Patriot Guard, as the motto goes -Standing for those who stood for us. I wish we never had cause for another mission, but as long as we are needed we will ride!
To those in service now(this includes my son) THANK YOU!
And to those who did serve, especially during Nam, welcome home and again THANK YOU for your service!
You should all know, these people have you're back, they are the reason we ride. I thank them with all my heart. I thank the soldiers, they go in harms way just for me. Some of them do not come home. God bless them, they are the best! Sam.
we just buried my brother-in-law friday, he was a Green baret served VietNam. my son home from the Iraq war tried to speak for his Uncle Bobby, but he broke down as he said his uncle was his hero, his unclke understood as my Kenny tried to aclimate to civilian life, battle scars I will never take awat a his mother.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
Nothing I could say could even come close to what I just saw in this video. Anyone not touched, or patriotically stirred, should leave this country as SOON AS POSSIBLE!!
ESCORT'S AVAILABLE!!!
Thanks to all that have served- NONE of us would have our Freedoms- let alone be in the America we appreciate, without them! This is MY country & I'm Proud of it! Everytime I walk thru an airport & I see a Soldier- I Thank them. They are the reason we're still here!
In my humble opinion, EVERY SINGLE PERSON on the B.O.N. forum should be a member of this page. After all, the very reason we are able to ride, speak freely, breath free air and write these comments without fear is because of ALL those Vets who have sacrificed their freedom - and often their lives - so that we may enjoy ours. The USA is the greatest country in the world thanks to our Vets and the Troops currently serving. It is fine to disagree with, even hate our Government - but EVERYONE had damn well better LOVE this Country, support our Troops and LOVE our Veterans. My family and I keep all of you Vets / Troops in our thoughts, Hearts and Prayers EVERY DAY - With Love and Respect.
Great video and song! I am a veteran of the US Army, 80-84.
I make sure everytime I see a soldier in uniform, to say hi and thank you for the job they are doing, and let them know that they have our support.

I am a former Marine and have unfortunately lost brothers during the time I served and continue to feel the loss of those fallen. I also am a member of Rolling Thunder so that I can make sure that the government doesnt forget. This was awesome....tears fall from my eyes whenever I think about the sacrafices made for the freedoms we should all be grateful for.....I WILL NEVER FORGET....never leave our men and women behind
The people in the military need to be revered not looked down upon. They are fighting for my freedom, and I will always respect and love each of them. Thank you for sharing. GOD Bless America.
we just recently lost a boy from Jersey and although i didn't know him or his family personaly.....i found myself lighting a candle at church in his name. the men and women who fight for our freedom should always have a place in our hearts. to have anothers back is what its meant to be American in my eyes.....they never let us down - its our turn to stand behind them ~

... Greetings from Bob. ... It's been almost 36 hours now since I posted this video, and in that time my heart has been touched almost 700 times! I am sincerely humbled at the response! ... I have read 'every' post ... and have read 'some' 2, 3, 4 times. ... To those who shared 'much' - 'Thank You' for feeling comfortable enough to share all - (and what) - you did.. ... To those of you who haven't had the chance to scroll down thru these posts ... If you can, consider settting aside some time to do so.
I helped to bury my best friends son today. Rest in Peace, Gary Vick III. May God grant us all the strength so our country and people have the courage to face the days ahead.
Thanks for sharing this and Bless all who are serving and keep them out of harms way. Bless all who have served throughout the years! Healing thoughts for all who have lost a friend or loved one!
there are those who serve anywheres from 2 - 20+ yrs in military service .. we thank you for your appreciation for what we do or did. Many of us did so for other reasons than patriotism. Some has to do with economic survival. Then there are those of us that love the rush of who knows whats next .. the comradery of those we spent the time in the field with, esp after doing the first term. NO matter what branch. yes there are those that sat in Ac offices for the whole term. some in front lines n those near the front in supporting positions. I in mine built bases n did forward aircontrol support. .. kinda like a god as without us there was no light. IN other words provided power for any function out there in the field. but ty for the support n hopefully understanding.
I agree with all of you, this is very moving and I to would like to sat thanks to all active and millitary veterans, you are our "HEROS" and you are and never will be forgotten, but lets all o one better, we can write it here and they may or may not hear us, so evertime you see a vet or a current member of our armed forces ,shake their hand and tell them how proud we are and that they are our Heros. God Bless All Of Them and yes I can still say God Bless and always will, so keep trying to take these words out of my mouth and my Heros will hunt you down and justie will be served !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Freedom has never been free...it has always had the price of blood and I respect every man and woman that has ever shed his or her blood for my freedom in this country....bless our troops

Words can't say how grateful I am for all those in the past, present and future for their sacrifices to serve our country to allow all Americans to LET FREEDOM RING! MAY GOD KEEP YOU ALL SAFE IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND. Let us all take a moment of silence and salute our troops.

One of our best friends lost his 21 year old son in Iraq. He helped everyone and that is what he was doing the day a roadside bomb killed him. God bless you Matt.
Words can't begin to describe how special that video is, being prior service with 3 nephews currently serving in Iraq. Awesome, speechless. touched. THANKS
Freedom is a way of Life. No one should ever take it away from us. As long as you stand up and fight for it!
I am a U.S. Army Veteran.(Infantry). HOOHA! I will not feel at ease until all my Brother's and Sister's return from War. My Borther is on the Vietman Wall. This is there country, your country, my country, our country. Be proud of where you came from and where you live. As we should always. I know I am. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL OF THE TROOPS!!!!!!!!
Wow. Great video. My son did a tour in Iraq (April 17, 03-March 31, 04) he came home safe and sound, but his unit lost 3 while they were there. "All gave some... Some gave ALL"
Very Moving....Gave me Chills....Join your Local Warriors Watch Riders and Welcome our Soldiers home or Send them off Showing your Appreciation for their Sacrifice. In Jesus Name Amen

Keep him and all of the other men and women serving our country in your thoughts and prayers as well as giving all who are serving and have served thanks for the freedom that we have.
Very moving and makes me very thankful for this nation and those who answer the call to serve. I am extremely thankful for all the Vets and those currently serving, that I have met on this site- they have enriched and continuously bless my life EVERY SINGLE DAY!
My Nephew Brad is home for the weekend, won't be long before he ships out for Afghanistan. We are so proud of our Soldier. God Bless America and all those who serve!
we take for granted that these men have given all so that we can sleep at night in the safety of our borders without bombs exploding in our midst. There is never enough said for what they have done and thenks given. THANK YOU ONE AND ALL!!!
A very moving song.May God watch over and protect our troups. I spent 5 years active duty in the Marines as a 0311.I still remember sitting in my sandbox waiting to come home.Never Forget what our servicemen & women sacrifice for us ! Semper Fidelis
Rips my heart out to see this video and to hear the sad but true words bein sung in the background..... Makes me really wonder if that "last shot" will ever be fired.... In my humble opinion, it won't be - not until we destroy the people who are so blatantly hell-bent on destroying US. But I still do pray for peace everyday....
Bein a PGR member, and havin gone one way too many missions, makes me wonder -- will it ever end? But on the other hand, it makes me grateful that I can thank our heroes for sacrificing their lives for our freedom.... THANK YOU for protecting our freedom with your lives.... There is no greater sacrifice on this planet....
Gd Bless Our Troops... xo
This is what we as Americans need to do EVERYDAY. Not just on specefic dates. I love my country and the Men/Women who served and are still in harms way. We shouldn't wait until the lead story on the nightly news tells us another hero has fallen. Support Our Troops everyday, Fly a Flag, Hug a VET or just say a prayer!! Do something everyday!!!! TO THE SPONSOR OF THIS PAGE. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES!!! GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.
Who better than you, our dear soldiers, members of the police, fire fighters and EMT's that can testify to the violence and to the disruptive forces of evil present in the world? You fight against them every day: indeed, you are called to defend the weak, to protect the honest, to foster the peaceful coexistence of peoples. The role of the sentinel, who scans the horizon to avert danger and promote justice and peace everywhere, befits each of you.... To each one of you, I express my heartfelt appreciation for your dedication and generous commitment.... Thank you, dear friends, for your courageous work of peacemaking in countries devastated by senseless wars. Thank you for the help you offer, heedless of risks, to people struck by natural disasters. How numerous are the humanitarian missions in which you have been involved in recent years! In carrying out your difficult duty, you frequently find yourselves exposed to dangers and demanding sacrifices. Ensure that all your interventions always cast light on your authentic vocation as "custodians of the security and freedom of your fellow-countrymen", who "are contributing to the maintenance of peace",
ALL of us join the Patriot Guard...patriotguard.org..I've been a member for 6yrs.If you see a Vet or active service member of our armed forces,thank them for their service..look them in the eye and shake their hand.It's the least you could do.May God Bless Our Troops!!!
OMG-This video and song has moved so many tears out of me,I am so PROUD of everyone that has served MY(and YOUR) country and has saved my life from so much evil they have faced head-on for me.Thank you everyone that has lived to come back to their familys and for those that didn't make it home, say a prayer for them and their families every day-cause you are still here because they have given up everything for me and you. NEVER FORGET!!!! Thank you-Love and Respect from Eastern NC---Erma
Touching and a real Tear Jerker. Thanks to all my fellow veterans for serving, and helping defend this great nation, and helping make the world a better place. Your sacrifices have not gone unnoticed.
WOW, that made me want to get out and ride with the largest AMERICAN flag I can find to show support to our troops and THANK THEM FOR A JOB WELL DONE!!!
This is very moving. We buried a young man from my church not too long ago, someone I watched grow up. His entire unit was killed. It was the first time I actually experienced the Patriot Guard and their dedication and rode with them to the gravesite. It was the most moving experience I have ever had and cried thru the entire ride. I think if some of our teenagers today could experience this, they would definitly have a different outlook on life. God Bless our Troops, those that have made it back and those that never will.
How awesome... Here in Winston Salem & Greensboro, NC they are doing Flight of Honor so that the WWII veterans can see the memorial. The first flight was Oct. 3rd. the return at PTI airport was without a doubt the most tearful heartwrenching home coming anyone could image. The first 100 who took this flight were speechless when they returned to see hundreds of people there to welcome them back. The Homecoming they never got. My father served in WWII and my brother served in Vietnam (both are deceased), so this was a very special moment for me.
God Bless our Troops.. If you can, join Warrior's Watch or Patriot Guard Riders. I myself am a PGR member in SE GA. and when you see a service men in a store or a resturant or where ever.. shake his/her hand and "THANK THEM" for their service. God Bless the U.S. A. "In God We Trust" NOT Obama or Pelosi!

That is just beautiful. God Bless Our Troops! Thank you to all for what you do. Does anyone know if Trace released that song? I never heard it and have all his CDs.
I remember back in the late 60's and early 7's when my father came home from Vietnam they were not welcomed home other than by their families and when I went in the Marine Corps and came home from my first over seas mission I wasn't sure what to expect so when we got off that plane it was a surprise to see the Marine Corps band on the tarmac and people waving American flags to welcome us home..... and today to see all who support our troops even if they don't agree with the war...what a difference 30 years has made....Semper Fi ...and thank you for your service...
:55 seconds in until 1:42 are images from the Raudenbush funeral: Capt. Nathan R. Raudenbush, 25, of Pennsylvania, died Feb. 20, 2008 in Busayefi, Iraq, of wounds suffered when his vehicle encountered an improvised explosive device.

I have seen this before, in fact, I have had it on my profile for months. When I watch it, I recognize the faces of the riders. Most are with the Warriors' Watch, but some shots are from our days with the Patriot Gaurd. The names of my friends aren't the only names I think about when I watch it. I think of Jennifer Hartman, killed by an IED 3 years ago. When I see a shot of myself in full leather carrying a flag, I remember Raudenbush, and his funeral in February. It was 17 degrees, and we had over 60 bikes. I remember the sendoff of the Stryker brigade, and hoping every one of those men would make it safely back home...many are currently in the process of returning from that tour. I am reminded of every soldier and marine I have ever greeted in the airport, and thanked for their service with a hug or a handshake. And I remember the parents of Brendan Owens, whose parents I met as they were bringing their fallen son back home. I told them that I, and a grateful nation thanks them for their sacrifice, then left to hold a flag for a young marine returning home. After his welcome, all 30+ Warriors Watch Riders present, including this young Marine, went back to those parents and expressed their thanks and condolences. As much as I hate hearing about any of our fallen, I am pleased to see them make it back home. Many from past wars did not. It is my hope, my wish, that when the wars in Iraq and A-stan are over, that we have NO POWs or MIAs left behind. And I hope EVERY soldier and Marine that did serve, at any time, in any war, at some point hears someone say to them, "THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. WELCOME HOME."
Thanks for sharing this moving video.. brought chills for those we have lost and for the ones that are still fighting for our freedom Pray that everyone comes home alive to their family... May God keep them safe and watch over them
Trace Atkins is a real patriot for writing this song and so many others. To all my buddies who never made it home, I promise, you will always be remembered.
Thanks for sharing this...thankfully my son made it home from Iraq, but is preparing for an Afganistan deployment.
I'll continue to keep all those in harms way in my thoughts & prayers! God Bless the USA!
With a smile on his face and a tear in his eye...
He told us not to worry, he'll come back alive...
I tried to be strong like the strenght in his arms...
But my knees were weak and I trembled inside...
He was my Dad and I loved him so...
my brother and I didn't want to let him go...
yet somehow we knew as he kissed us goodbye...
That our country needed a hero to fight to keep us free...
And God would keep him safe if it was meant to be.

FOUGHT"
thank you bob, so worth sharing, hearing and seeing.
After watching this I realize just how much this United States of America community of BIKERS get it! We really GET IT! I am PROUD to be part of this community! I want to thank all who gave all and the ones who have served and made it home safe for protecting our Freedom! Never in VAIN! Special thanks to my son SGT. Jamie Lee Zimmerman active duty United States Marine Corp! Love you and proud of you...
Ah yes we are what we are, because of who we are, who we believe and for those that now do not be.........
God Bless every American Soldier and the Families of this Great Land.
Prayers and Peace to you All
There are no words that can even explain how I feel. Being a member of the Patriot Guard Riders is an honor for me. One way we honor our fallen troops is a flagline as you see in this video. Very moving!!!!!!
As a vet 4years coast guard and 5 years air force this song really moves me I don't think our vets get nearly enough credit for what they do.I think our government has turned there back on our vets . What a shame it is to see our vets coming home after serving losing there jobs and homes because the govt. won't do the right thing and give them disability .So everyone reach out and thank a vet and if you can do anything for vet do it. Trace Adkins truly is a great and humble person he sings songs from the heart
I pray for peace...and thank all who seved before me, after me and with me...freedom is not free and our military pay the ultimate price...may god bless them all

TIP: scroll down and mute my playlist and the news article about the firefighters saving the little girls life. Watch the Trace Adkins video then go check the other stuff. lol Sorry, the page is a little busy. I'll get that cleaned up.
I am an 11 year USAF Vet, been over there where we are now. I am also a 31 year firefighter assigned to our Haz-Mat and Anti-Terrorism Response Task Force. My son is a PFC in the NC Army National Guard now completeing AIT to become a structural engineer on the Blackhawk Helicopter. He wants to go active and is being courted by the 160th as he is tops in his class. My daughter (13) is now telling me she wants to join the military too. This video tribute is stunning. It leaves me Honored and speechless both. If you are interested... I have the version of this Trace Adkins performed live at the 2009 CMA Awards on my page. Take a look! And his song entitled "Arlington" is another great piece to listen to and look up video's of. To all of you that have served or are serving, or have lost family members in any of our wars... I say Thank You and Salute You!
