as a vet, i can confirm that letters and care packages definitely made it easier to drive on and made the world feel a bit smaller

I will never forget the one I got from my dad. One of the only times in my life I remember crying in front other men. 20 years later I still have that letter.

Never underestimate how much saying you’re proud of your child could mean to them, right? Also, people in the military thrive on those care packages from friends and family. I always tried to do that for my military friends. A way to keep them connected and give them something to look forward to and a will to come home safely.

I can't understate how much those letters and boxes mean to those of us in the military when we're away from home. They keep us grounded, make us smile, and remind us that we are loved. He's right, we love to get them and share them with our other 'family'. It's a great song

This is such a pretty song and such an important message for families with soldiers. A song with another incredible message is Tim McGraw's Humble And Kind - you can share it with kids. It is not meant to make you cry, but it may evoke emotion as a father

Every time this song came on, while my son was deployed, it ripped my heart out. My now ex daughter-in-law, told me, “how do you think I feel? He’s your son, but he’s MY husband“. Coming from an all military family, and growing up on military bases, this lifestyle of having to separate and move every 3 to 4 years was not new. So I had to tell her, “when that baby in your stomach that you will carry for nine months is born, you tell me who you would rather send off to war. Your baby or your husband. I can tell you my husband would be sent every single time”.

This song still gets me to tears everryrine i hear it.

As a US Marine Corps veteran who served two tours in Afghanistan this song hits home. Letters from home definitely keep you going. To any Veterans in the comments from one Veteran to another thank you for your service. Semper Fi

Local radio used to record messages from family members and play them in between verses in the hopes of their soldiers hearing them.

My husband was in the military, so this song definitely evoked emotions in me. This is one of the reasons that I love country music it makes you feel and sometimes confront your emotions, it can be so therapeutic sometimes.

These songs ALWAYS get to my heart. These wonderful country artists know how to get you feeling very emotional... Bless all the military, past, present, and future who keep us all safe and free!

Great reaction! That third verse where his dad tells him he is proud of him is really touching for most guys, and you made it through!

That part always gets me

With this particular song, there’s another version that often gets played on the radio of it around Veterans Day of people reading parts of their letters to their loved ones in the Armed Forces. If you want a real tearjerker listen to that one.😢 it always manages to rip my heart out and shred it to little bitty pieces.

This is one of my favorite songs. My dad was in the Army, so was my brother and i have had many cousins on my mom's side of the family that was military. This song always get me.

“One of those awful damn country music twist…“ Might be the most accurate thing I’ve ever heard in my life 😂😂😂

I grew up in Texas. Country music practically runs through my veins. I love this reaction. I NEED you to react to Cody Johnson and/or Merle Haggard. If you need specific songs, I’m happy to give them.

This song always makes me cry, but I come from a family with a long history of service. My dad was army, my grandfather and cousins navy, nephew in Air Force, and my brother in law is in one of those USA ships in the Middle East right now (the Eisenhower). The second verse makes me think of my sister and cry for her. I know she is more scared now than she ever has been for her husband. The line “man on the television said something so I couldn’t sleep” hits really close to home. We are all so very proud of him and his service but it definitely isn’t easy.

My uncles who served during WW2, Korea, and Vietnam said they were always thankful when they got a letter or parcel during mail call. It made their day better

My son is a military helicopter pilot. He deployed to Afghanistan 3 times. Each time, it just broke my heart and I was scared the whole time. I would sit at my desk at work with Facebook up in the corner of the screen. If I saw a green dot by his name in the chat list, I knew he was probably ok, because he was online. He would skype whenever he could, given the time difference from the U. S. We were skyping once and there was a flash of light in the background, he said Gotta go" and put the lid down on the laptop. It was 10 hours before we heard from him again. Scariest 10 hours of my life. He made it through, unscathed. He transitioned from active duty with the 82nd Airborne to the Kentucky Army National Guard a few years ago. He is still flying and I worry about him whenever he is in the air.

Takes a dead heart to not shed a tear at the dad part. Even with having loving parents both mom and dad, I can feel how powerful that letter was. And yes...I LOVE country music. Its the king of story telling. It can make you cry, laugh, get mad, uplift you, etc. It's just extremely relatable and cathartic at times. And yeah, John Michael Montgomery is one of the kings of the 90s country music I grew up on.

Love this song. When my husband was deployed letters from home meant alot to him🥰

Country music originated in the south east United States. We all have that twang in our accent. Country music is always written from the heart of true life stories. We are touched by country music because of its relatable topics. I grew up on it and it's near to my heart

I enlisted in the army in 2006 when I was 17 (you can with parental consent). I couldn’t comprehend at that age what I was getting myself into but I made the choice even though my folks tried to talk me out of it. It wasn’t fun or easy for me but it taught me a lot. I was lucky though. It could have been much worse and my parents wouldn’t have been able to recover. So while there was good that came from it, I put them through a lot more than I realized at the time. My Mom would send me all these cards that played music and collages of stuff she cut out of magazines. Kind of looked like a child did them but it was all stuff she knew I loved and it always made me smile from ear to ear. It meant everything and I clung to them. My Dad would send one once in a while but I think it was almost too hard for him. He raised me like a boy but he wasn’t super thrilled when I started doing the more dangerous masculine things lol. Letters from home are priceless.

I remember a family member who did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan saying how much letters from hime meant to them, and morale. I was on the phone with them when rockets hit their base, and although there were only a few wounded i was then scated as hell for my family. These songs get me by the feels.

This song always gets me. My father was a hard man and the first time I saw him break down and get emotional was when he told me he was proud of me as I was deploying to Iraq when I was 18.

I'm from Nashville Tennessee and grew up with country music. I prefer soft rock but I like all forms. We in the south believe true country music makes you cry in your beer.

As the wife of a retired Marine who served for 25 years it was brutal but it’s also a honor. 🇺🇸

Amazing song, and you're right Montgomery just has that almost quintessential country music voice. 2 songs I think you would like in a similar but not quite the same vein as this, are 'Arlington' by Trace Adkins, and 'Already Home' by Tim McGraw

John Michael Montgomery very recently announced his retirement. Thank You Mr Montgomery for the gift of your music all of these years.

As an Army Mom, I’m filled with pride, but it’s not easy! The fear of the unknown.

You are correct.. my son was out of the country 3 years in the USMC. He’s home…

May sound a bit strange, but here goes- my father died when I was six years old, I have a few “pieces” of memories, but nothing really cohesive. I’m not sure if Daddy ever told me that he was proud of me, but if he did, I don’t remember it, & if it did happen, it would have been a small achievement, as I would have been six or younger. However, laugh if you will, a recent event changed that. I was told by a friend who is a very spiritual person & apparently has some abilities that I don’t have, she told me a lot about my father, including the fact that “he wants me to know that he is proud of me”… the emotion that brought out of me is indescribable. I’m 50 years old, & I never got to hear my daddy say that he is proud of me. This is the closest I can get, and I will tell you, I cried like a baby hearing that. There is nothing more important to a man, in my opinion, than knowing his father is proud of him. Now, if I was sitting in a creepy room filled with candles & had to pay some lady $100 to look into a crystal ball or whatever, no- I’m pretty skeptical of that type of thing, but this was completely different. Unsolicited, not paid, just a friend who I’ve only known a short time, & never knew my dad or anything about him, & everything she told me was spot on… it changed my life. Tell your kids that you are proud of them. Trust me.

I love your reactions 🥲 (keep ‘em comin’, Judd 😜) 💝

Want to cry? Don't Take the Girl, Tim McGraw. 😢😢 Now you have to. Let's Go! 🎉🎉

My two oldest sons went to the first Iraq war. One Navy, one Army. Worst time in my life. They both came home and have families and wonderful lives.

I can't believe you held back those tears. I never do with this song.

Day 77 of recommending the Beyblade openings. There are the Japanese ones and the English ones. The English version has one opening for a generation, and that for the 1st and 2nd generation. The 3rd gen has one op for one season. But the Japanese version has multiple ops for a season in any gen. You should definitely check both versions out. I made playlists on my channel, so you don't need to search, cause in those compilations are a few off and not in the correct order. Thanks for checking out!

Great Song! In Color, by Jamey Johnson also.

Everything is soft, so nice... then comes that last part. This is the first music video that I saw on CMT, the country channel when I travelled to the US, since that day I just felt in love with country music.

Here Without You, 3 doors down. Military song, full of ❤.

I love you and your country music reactions!! Not sure why so many of your fans like to see you cry cause you’re adorable when you smile!! There are TONS of country songs that are not sad….. PLEASE react to some happier songs! I Pray for you by Jaron and the long road to Love, She has a way with words by Blake Shelton, I hope by Gabby Barrett, Biscuits by Casey Musgraves, too many to list!!!

This song always gets me when it comes on the radio

I like how you asked for a happy ending and the song pretty much immediatly delivered.

If you don't cry they're not doing their job but we're very patriotic the USA and thank you so much for recognizing that and that's probably the only thing a soldier wants is a letter home ❤🇺🇸🇺🇸USA 🇺🇸

Try “Love, Me” by Collin Raye… I bawl every time ❤

The only time my stepdad ever told me he was proud of me was when i got from my first tour of Iraq, after my second tour and my first tour or Afghanistan we just pulled away from each other. i think the pride went to fear or shame

Love this song it's so beautiful ,he has another great song it's called The Little Girl You should listen to it , thanks and have a great day lots of love from my family to yours from West Virginia ❤️🙂

I don’t know if anyone else has recommended it but check out “Sold!” By John Michael Montgomery, that’ll be a fun one for you.

I think you'd really enjoy Backwards by Rascal Flats, a bit of a different country song.

I love your channel bro. I've been digging into the reaction video trend lately and your comments are some of my favorite. Thanks for making the effort to include country because your right, it does get forgotten or ignored a lot by people who aren't familiar. If you like story telling try The Thunder Rolls by Garth Brooks. The video is great. Edited for auto-correct bs.

"Blank Sheet of Paper" by Tim McGraw

Iv'e always loved this song. Can't listen to it without tears. You're funny though....country music has great stories that can indeed end badly ;-)

👍 Great reaction. 🖖 ❤

Trust me it is the most terrifying. First oldest I went 5 x through it so far. With youngest ones

I can imagine a worse thing.....the only thing worse watching the only man you have ever loved walk out the door knowing that he may not walk back thru it.

You should do "Letters From War" by Mark Schultz

Day 7 of requesting a reaction to the following openings: Chivalry of a Failed Knight op Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress op Darling in the Franxx op Kiznaiver op You could make a multiple op reaction for this. Thank you!

Not only the worst thing for the parents of the soldier but also the kids of one. As a daughter of a soldier I will never forget my dad going to Iraq and having to constantly worry about seeing him again.

There is a stupid saying about country music ... if you play a country song backwards, you get your wife back, your dog back, your house back, etc. Well if one takes the time to 'listen' to country music, it's about life. Every possible thing that happens in people's lives, is in country music. There is divorce, there is happiness, there is sadness, there is death, there is birth, there is cheating, there is love, there is patriotism, there is ...... Of course, in many songs, there is a twist, sometimes a wicked twist in the songs that you don't see coming but yes, 5 more minutes, this one Letters from home, American Soldier, Arlington, I'm My Own Grandpa, Before he Cheats, etc. That's why country music fans love it and understand it. The screaming hard metal songs are just one liners repeated dozens of times to make it seem like a song, but most of the time, their lyrics don't mean a thing and absolutely don't tug at one's heart strings or memories. That's my opinion anyway. Love your reactions as they are real and don't worry about crying, as we're crying with you. Thanks from Canada.

If you want a fun country song to listen to you should listen to Travis Tritt 10 feet tall and bulletproof

I have a good country song for you to do. It was written by Jimmy Dean to his little girl called To A Sleeping Beauty. Check it out

American parents have that same fear. Nothing makes you pucker up more than the thought of your children being in danger.

Guess you don't want to listen to "Daddy"s Hands" or "I Loved Her First"

Okay. I have no idea this would be considered in anyway trans or homophobic, I really hope not. I don't consider myself those things. But this is an older hilarious country song that you might like for a break in the sadness? It's called "Bobbi with an i" I suppose it would be considered dated rather than outright trans or homophobic. Personally I think it's just silly and shows how many different variants of wonderful people are out there, even some people make fun. Rudely meanly or gently and playfully

Confederate Railroad daddy never was the Cadillac kind

I feel like people who say they dont like country is because all they hear is radio pop country garbage and not real country like this.
