If you ever get to go to Arlington, the vibe noticeably changes, especially at the tomb of the unknown soldier. It feels like legitimate sacred ground with the amount of souls buried there. Hope you get to visit it.

Trace Adkins voice reaches right to my soul 💔

No matter how many time you hear this song

We have several family members buried at Arlington National Cemetery. We remember their lives and sacrifices for this country. and honor them. The men and women who served their country, fought and died for their country, did not make those sacrifices for a political party, but for their COUNTRY. God bless them.

I just love your channel, much respect for you. I am watching you from Arlington Texas. I am willing to die for my country and for freedom, even though I am a great grandmother. I raised my children to be patriotic and we always vote. Proud Republicans. God bless you.

I'm a grandmother. They've grown up too fast. Maybe in the very soon years to come I'll be a great grandmother. I will be standing with you. I was in the Air Force 1977 to 1980. It was peace time so your tour was only 3 years. It's where I met my husband. I'm so proud of his commitment to country and community. He spent his entire adult life defending them. I miss him every day. He carried my heart with him. Anyway, I too am a proud Republican. We have to save our country. ❤ from Tennessee. We think we're Texas' little sister.

Teresita, thank you for your reply, it means a lot to me. I was born in Colorado, but came to my beloved Texas in 1956. I too feel like a Texan and I love people from Tennessee. My husband served in the Air Force and my son in the Navy. We lived in South Africa for 2 years and I was so happy to come home. There is no place like home. I also love South Africa, they need prayer, it was once wealthy and now the whites are begging in the streets. It breaks my heart to see anyone begging for food. Much love to you my sister from America. I always watch this British guy, love his reactions and he thinks like us, I believe he said that he will be moving to America soon. I say WELCOME, glad you are here!

So glad you're reacting to this. It's very moving. It is the cemetery for those special heros that went above and beyond. My heart is so greatful for all of my country's military men and women. My late husband was in their company for 20 years. Went to Vietnam twice. Then got spit on when he came home but he stood firm in his convictions and love of our country. Then he retired. He died in my arms at age 63. He passed one month before retiring from the Davidson County Sheriff Department. He always ran toward the danger. He was everything a man should be. All our military is what a man or woman should be. God keep and bless them all.

I still cry over the way our servicemen and women were spit on and treated so horribly. We stand behind them and deeply love our country. Your husband was one of our heroes, so was mine.

It was inspired by United States Marine Corps Corporal Patrick Nixon, who died in battle in 2003. After meeting Nixon's father, Turnbull was inspired to write the song. Adkins said that "This is not a war song, and it has nothing to do with politics. This is a true story."

Loved the look on your face when you first heard Trace Adkins's voice.

Trace is a great human being and as much fun as Toby. To lighten things up…please react to: One Hot Momma

Trace has a way of expressing things in such a powerful yet beautiful way. You Sir gave me chills watching you react to this. The respect you displayed is more than many in this country. 🫡💞🍻

Love your reations they are so real.

The song inspired by the story of Corporal Patrick Nixon (U.S. Marine Corp) whose picture is shown near the end of the song along with a picture his gravestone. Corp Nixon's father had related his son's story to songwriter Dave Turnbull who along with Jeremy Spilman wrote the song. Trace Adkins, a huge supporter of the military, was a natural choice to perform the song.

The respect you just showed made me tear up. From a mom in Indiana I want to say thank you so much.

I went to Pearl Harbor when I was 5 years old. To this day I can still remember the feeling of reverence. An experience that I will. EVER forget. I am told that Arlington has the same feeling. My youngest son’ s drill sergeant was a guard at the tomb of the unknown. It was such a privilege to meat him.

I’m part of a group that does a huge pro fireworks display to celebrate our Independence Day here in the US and we’ve used this song before and if there’s a dry eye among the thousands of people who come to the event, they have no heart.

Where is this celebration done? I would love to attend

Much like Toby Keith, Trace has lots of patriotic/military themed songs that can hit hard and also many fun songs as well as ballads. He's a supporter and advocate for the Wounded Warrior Project - definitely check out "Til the Last Shot's Fired" live at the CMA awards, and also "Semper Fi" which he wrote in honor of his neighbor who is a marine. For some of the fun songs/videos I'd recommend "Hot Mama", "Swing", "I Got My Game On" and "Mind on Fishin'". For those that will tug on your heartstrings look for "Just Fishin'" (which has his daughter in the video), "You're Gonna Miss This", and "Then They Do". Hope you dive down this rabbit hole like you did with Toby - you won't be disappointed!

I was able to visit Arlington when I was young. Ended up in the U.S. Army for 11 years. If you get the chance to go to Arlington, please take it. It's a humbling experience.

I really like your reactions. This song gets me every time. Check out Semper Fi by Trace Adkins. Keep up the good work.

This one pulls at the heart strings😪Love Your Videos !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This song touches me deeply as a person who has had relatives who have served in the US military since the Revolutionary War. It makes me think of my great uncles who served in WWII and who are buried at a local cemetery dedicated to those who served in the defense of our freedoms. I've been to Arlington and there is definitely something special about it. You can really feel the weight of the sacrifices that these soldiers made for this country. Feels exactly like the cemetery where my uncles are buried.

Ty for the respect you showed. Another great song of his that is on the lighter side but still touching is called You’re Gonna Miss This. I think you will enjoy it

I know that place all to well... Granddad (Army), Dad (Army), Brother (Army) and sister (Navy). I am extremely patriotic about will absolutely lay down my like for God, country and family. Army airborne ranger. Never forget!!!!

Watching from East Tennessee. ❤

I served as a funeral detail officer (on a volunteer basis) leading a team to provide military honors to veterans throughout the State where I was assigned. In every instance, the detail I led was absolutely superb, and we honored our fallen comrades very, very well. Being the officer-in-charge of the detail (at the age of 22) I was the one designated to present the folded flag to the next of kin at each burial. It's not possible to express how honored I was to do this--every time. I've physically been to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, to Bethlehem. to the Temple Mount and the Wailing Wall, and the tomb of John the Baptist in the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus (all of which were wonderful experiences), but in all of my experiences, there's no place I've ever been where I felt like I was on holier ground than at Arlington National Cemetery. For a time I lived within walking distance of the Arlington National Cemetery and visited it many times. Every time I felt as if I was on holy ground, please forgive me if that's offensive to anyone's beliefs, I'm just relating how I felt. With respect to this reaction video by Mr. Mikey, the mere fact that he removed his cover (baseball cap) during this video warmed my heart. Mr. Mikey gets it, he gets what it means to show respect. God bless Mr. Mikey.

Your respect for our American heroes is touching. I have watched Americans react to this song, and they didn’t even know what Arlington was. When you took your hat off, I almost cried. As the daughter of a veteran, these songs are heartbreaking for me. You earned a subscriber.

I appreciate so much you taking your hat off! I'm loving ❤️ your channel!!!!

i too Shead a few tears., just another veteran.

Trace is in the movie Deepwater Horizon with Mark Wahlberg regarding the oil spill down in the Gulf of Mexico years ago. He plays the father of one of the workers who died. He worked for oil companies before getting into music if I remember correctly

My Grandad served in the Korean war 1950-51 sadly he passed away in 2001 He always said “if I could I would rejoin in fighting in the military”

You should do the live version with West point military school choir. It's so beautiful.

This song is about Patrick Ray Nixon, he was a Marine who died in the war in Iraq. His picture and gravestone you see at the end of the video. And the videos of the funeral is Patrick's funeral.

I'm so happy u got the real meaning behind this song

I can't believe I've never heard this one before. Less than a minute in and I was already crying like a baby. I've cared for many veterans when I still worked in healthcare. Starting in 90s, when I was a kid, my dad helped us adopt soldiers and send care packages. I've done the same with my kids. I'm a widow and money is tighter, I can only send out a few care packages a month, but this inspires me to do more.

Such a wonderful song to honor our brave men and women who defend our country. The wreath was placed at the Tomb of the Unknown. You should watch the "History of the Tome of the Unknown".

You and this video touched me. Thank you. ❤

Found your channel by happenstance yesterday and although I don't know you personally, I can say without a doubt that you are one of the great young men of our days! I have watched 2 recent videos you did about the US, and in both, you removed your hat and covered your heart! There are more and more US citizens who fail to show the love and true respect that the Flag and those who have fallen that you did, and that both hurts my heart, and gives me comfort and hope for our next generation. I understand you have plans to move to our country in the next year, and I can say that we will definitely be blessed to have you!

God bless you sir and thank you. i love videos. the respect you show our country is amazing and i really appreciate it. coming from a long line of military family members. i wanted to be in the Air Force like my father and fly planes but my eyes where too bad and since i couldnt do that i decided to serve in other ways. he was in the navy first. my mothers uncle was an mp at pearl harbor when the japanese attacked. he wason duty on a cliff when a bomber came strait for him and his only way out was to run and jump off the cliff. he did a lot of internal damage including rupturing his spline which caused him to be a diabetic and other problems but he eventually died from complications do to the diabetes. i donated all his uniforms and stuff to a museum here. except for a program from one of the ships that has all their pictures in it and the menu for the dinner they were having. its very interesting.

Thank you!

Thank you for removing you hat and showing your respect my brother from across the pond. Blessings.

Arlington was started during the Civil War on Robert E Lee's plantation by the Union.

Oh boy. I have heard this song numerous times and it always gets to me. In February, my uncle died at the age of 88. He spent 20 years in the USMC and was a Korea and Vietnam combat veteran. To me, he was invincible so adjusting to a world without him us hard. Originally his wife was going to select a local cemetery for his burial but I requested Arlington and enough family members agreed so she changed her mind. His burial will be later this year. I can't handle a 21 gun salute, Taps or a missing man formation even if it's someone I don't know. As hard as it will be I am still glad that Arlington will be his resting place. Thank you for this reaction...it really changed the song on a personal level.
