I just came across this video this morning as I was eating my breakfast. I spent 30+ years serving my country, including 3 “official” combat tours and countless other special operations in jungles, deserts, and various other climes and conditions. Not to mention spending an average 200 days a year away from my family. I have seen things no one should ever have to see. Things which keep me awake at night, or when I do sleep, awaken in a cold sweat, shaking with anger from the inhumanity of what another human being can do to another human being. I have done things my government asked me to do-all within the laws of war and combat, of course-that few men and women, other than those who have had to do the same, will ever understand, let alone experience firsthand or, as they say, up close and personal, all to preserve and protect our fragile, but precious freedoms and liberty we still enjoy. But even though the vast majority of people will never comprehend the savagery of combat, and the brutality that must go along with it, I never wavered in my faith and allegiance to the ideals that make our country, the USA, the greatest country in the world. And in my darkest moments, when I thought my time had come, and even now with a disabled, broken body, I am thankful for all I have been given by a gracious and merciful God. I am alive. I am still here. I literally thank God every day for my ever-supportive wife and children who have continued to love and support me thru this daily trial. Thank you for this incredibly moving arrangement of an already beautiful song. Your pure voices, the videography, and the music brought me a moment of peace to my soul and gave me hope for a better future for my children and soon to be grandchild. Please continue to do what you do. Never waver from your mission and continue to remain true to your convictions. You two are special. Your Heavenly Father, the Father of us all, has given you both a special talent. A talent to bring light to an ever-darkening world. Once again, thank you!

Thank you for the service you have given to those of us who appreciate the freedom you have preserved for us. I have not been in the service for our country but I know something of the struggles many people go through just to get through another day. May God bless you and keep you, may his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you. God bless you for many blessings and may you come to know the Father’s love more intimately this season. 🙏❤️🫂🔥🙋‍♀️

I love your comment! My veteran husband (still active duty) and I have been married for 17 years.

I lost my dad in July. He was 84 years old and had led a remarkable life. He served our country for 32 years. I was always proud of him and never hesitated to tell people about all the years he served. This is my first Christmas without him, so I miss him more right now. I know he is one of God's soldiers now and he is watching over his family.

I can't help the tears streaming down. This is such a beautiful and heartfelt tribute Mat and Savanna Shaw dedicate to all Servicemen and Women of the United States of America!!! 🇺🇲 🙏❤️

What a beautiful, heartfelt tribute for all those servicemen and women who so selflessly "go into battle" to protect us and our nations' freedom! Thank you for your service, Mat! Very well produced video - the singing, musical arrangement, scenery and the photos. That harmonising in the last bars was fantastic. Love and gratitude from a fan in Sydney. 💕💕

Mat and Savanna--I can't even express the deep emotions this song brought forth. I sent it to my son in the military. I didn't stop there. I played your video for my students and later, it was the culminating song for a lesson on pioneers. Last night as I was watching the MV again, I finally noticed the picture of Mat in army combat uniform holding Savanna, and I wept again. Thanks for serving our country Mat, for giving this song such emotion through your voice, and to you Savanna, for your angelic voice, that makes me hope that in the next life I can sing like that!

I served 9 years Army aviation, this song just touched my heart, you never fail to amaze me with your glorious songs. God bless your family and friends.

What a stunning tribute to our veterans! This one touches the heart. The added pictures of our soldiers and their families added so much. Thank you to all the folks in uniform who also help to keep us safe! 💕

Well Mat and Savanna, I just replayed The Prayer again after listening to it many times along with most all of your others. This is what got it started for me. I recently watched this one showing you returning from your military service and greeting your young child. It made me think of my returning from Vietnam and seeing my wife and my little 18 month old boy. That little boy is now 51 years old and recently got diagnosed with an aggressive form of als giving him six to 18 months to live. Listening to your music gives peace, so replaying The Prayer today and watching your homecoming one was an emotional journey for me but a comforting one. Thank you.

Well...I'm in tears...that was stunning and heartfelt. Both my parents were Air Force, SMSgt Eldred M. Jenkins, and A2C Alice (Lathrop) Jenkins. What an amazing childhood I had growing up! ❣️🇺🇲 I so miss them both.

Yes Dear Hevenly Father thank you for your army of angels and all of our men and woman in uniform giving up all for us thank you troops God bless you all 🎗🇱🇷

It's amazing how often we forget about the men protecting us every day. We get together and celebrate holidays with our families but many of these men are missing theirs to protect ours. And those families missing their loved one overseas. We are truly lucky to live in the greatest country on earth and have the great men giving up their lives for us. It is truly humbling.

This is so heartfelt…I really can’t think of words to do it justice. Thank you Matt and Savanna and thank you to our wonderful serviceman and women.

Cannot say enough how much I LOVE this one! My dad is a veteran and three uncles as well as friends and neighbors, so I have always honored and respected all those that serve. Thank you Mat for your service as well. Let's all remember, the whole family serves, just in different roles. 🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤

This truly is a BEAUTIFUL song... but I can't help but think that it isn't just a song applicable for service people. To me it seems like a song that every mom or dad might sing over each of their children daily ~ realizing that ultimately it is only because God is watching over us constantly that we are kept safe. God bless you both!

Thank you Matt and Savanah for all the beautiful songs you have done for us it's brought so much joy throughout all the hard times we have all been through the last couple years. Sickness division of our country and everything in between has put a toll on us. Music is something that has brought people together for generations. So please don't stop sharing your God's gifts to us 🙏 when people have voices like you both do it's such a shame when others can't hear it. I'm so glad you posted your first song and it went rampid the whole wide world shared it to everyone they knew it got on the news stations and talk shows and that's where it started now look where you are several records made and millions of followers I'm so thrilled for you. But most of all you are Christians who have hearts of gold. You were so kind to leave me a comment a couple times and helped me with getting one of your CD's from a kind follower I wouldn't of ever been able to afford to buy one. I wish one day I could have them all but I'm just thrilled to be able to listen to it over and over again when I want. It's such a blessing to just have it. God bless both of you ❤ please make some Christmas songs for us this year too. Even if it's the same songs you have done before. Just sing them in your living room we don't care just as long as we can hear them that's all that we care about. Thanks again for all you do for us. ❤❤😊

Thank you for remembering those who have worn the uniform. Yes, the tears flowed as the memories flowed of my 22 years in the Air Force uniform. The flag of the United States of America was perfect as it is an inspiration to us all. What a beautiful song and location. God bless you!

A touching tribute to all those who serve. Thank you Matt and Savanna

This 26 year Veteran of the U .S. ARMY says thank you for a very touching video to honor all the Veterans past and present very well done we recognize them once a year but there service and sacrifice deserve recognition all year long

This was an epic, outstanding, the absolute best song for this day ever written! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! We love ❤️

God bless and thank you for your service Mat. My brother was an Army veteran. He was my hero

Beautiful! So pleased to share. Can't say enough... thank you to all our Veterans, those are serving and to the special individual who will serve in the future. We are grateful for our Freedom!

Your harmonies are "out of this world!" A splendid blessing to those who sacrifice so much and an important prayer for all of us to remember to offer up to God!

Perfect song for Veterans Day and Rememberance Day in Australia. We will always remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their countries. If these souls could hear u sing this song, they would b so proud that ur honouring them like this. Lest we forget 🌹🙏💂‍♂️

Yup I cried. God bless America and all those who protect her! 🇺🇸

Thank you to ALL the veterans out there. We are praying for you and we thank God for all of your sacrifices! We love you!!!

You know, today My Country Poland celebrates its 122nd birthday after 125 years of captivity. And today our soldiers, policemen, territorial troops and firefighters stand alone on the eastern border of Poland and the European Union. Our freedom is at stake again.

I am so excited and can hardly wait to see what you have created to honor our veterans. When l was in grade school every year we would sing all the veterans songs and then they would come into our classrooms and we would be able to hear their stories and ask questions. They even landed a military helicopter in our field and we were able to explore all the military vehicles. I will always have those special memories. It has made such an impact on me that whenever l see a veteran l thank them for their service.

I love Mat and Savanna music. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents! Very healing music

My husband is an Australian Vietnam Vet and this is so beautiful and meaningful, not many understand though so thank you for this

Thank you to all those who have and are serving our country. You are missed Dad and my Duane.

Thank you so much for this beautiful tribute to all of out veterans and current military. My father was a WWII navigator in a B17. They were so young when they went to war. My dad enlisted when he was still in high school. He would have loved this song. I went to the cemetery and played this to him a few times, I know he loved it. ❤️🤍💙

The first time I heard this song sung by Mat and Savanna, I was sitting in my car in the hospital parking lot. My husband had just been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. The diagnosis had come out of the blue because he had always been very healthy and the future was uncertain. It became my prayer and over the following weeks, I would listen to it on repeat. Thank you Mat and Savanna for the courage this song helped bring to me.

Excellent video for these troubled times. I hope it's played every Remembrance Day.

Our prayer dear Lord, keep us safe . In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit . Amen

Thank you Matt & Savanna. God Bless you all in Love.

Mat to you and all that serve or who have served to keep us safe, thank you. Thank you for your service and sacrifices.

Beautiful. As the wife of an Air Force Veteran, and the mother of a Marine combat Veteran, Thank You to them for serving, and to you both for this tribute.

Amen, how appropriate for these days! This is going to be my new theme song for everything that we as people (and as a country are facing). God is still the great I Am not the I Was! He is still the God of miracles and He who answers prayers! May He bless you richly! Keep up the inspirational music!

All the thanks to all the veterans that keep this country safe, God bless them and you two as well beautiful!
