The part about his grandpa meeting him in heaven, clicking his heels and saluting him gets me every time. The headstone and picture of the Marine you see at the end of the video is who this song is about. His name is Patrick Ray Nixon, he was a 19 year old Marine who died in Iraq.

Chokes me up all the time

My son has a place at Arlington...he is a purple heart recipient....he was awarded the bronze star & medal of valor...he was in for 23 years...retired now & working for the state of Alaska...💛

The saddest part of this song, to me, is that he is laying 1000 stones away from his granddad. Thousands of our sons and daughters died between the time his granddad was buried and when he was. I have been to Arlington multiple times. It is humbling to think that that many people were willing to lay down their lives for me and those I love. My dad, father in law, uncle and a cousin are all buried in Camp Nelson National Cemetery, near our home. They did not die in battle, but they served, none the less. My husband will most likely be buried their, as he also served for 26 years, and my son and daughter in law also are now serving.

My late husband and love of my life is a Vietnam Vet. He served his country with great pride. He was active in our local Vietnam chapter. It's there I was in awe of those who put their life on the line and just wanted to be accepted upon their arrival home. My husband was a pallbearer for way too many of his fellow comrades. When it was his time to be laid to rest - there was no doubt where it would be - Fort Custer National Cemetery. The day of his interment marked 6 months the cemetery had been opened. Now, 38 years later it's the most surreal and beautiful place I've ever been.

My dad is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. He served 22 years in the Air Force. Anytime I hear taps, 21 gun salute, or see someone receive a folded flag, I tear up thinking of my dad. He was an amazing influence in my life. It's been 14 years since he passed and it still hits hard....

The imagery of this song always gives me chills. I hadn't seen the video before. Trace Adkins has a truly one-of-a-kind voice and picks the best songs.

" till the last shot's fired " with the West Point choir, done at an awards show is great, also " Brothers in Arms " by Home Free is amazing

As a Veteran I love this song. Arlington is a sacred place and it can change your mind about respecting those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Trace is also the spokesman for Wounded Soliders. Tim Mc Graw has a song called, Humble and Kind. It's a message for the world. Also Tim has been song with his wife, Faith Hill,called Speak to a girl. Both great songs. Neither will make you cry🙂

I am an Air Force Veteran. This songs sends chills down my spine every time I hear.

Trace Adkins does a LOT for our troops. I have extreame respect for him.

Visited Arlington last year, the most serene, reverent and beautiful place I have ever been. Tears come to my eyes whenever I think of that sacred place ❤️

The scenes with the tomb of the unknown soldier just gives me chills with his voice.

I saw Trace live back in the late 90's and I can tell you that even back then he put on a great show and is an amazing singer and performer. There's SO much in this song that every American should understand. If you've never seen 'The Changing of the Guard' for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. you def should see it, If you make it to D.C. It's on the must see in person list for me.

I used to sing this in karaoke. The first time I did it, there were several veterans in the audience (I didnt know) They all came to me after I finished and thanked me for doing the song. My tab was almost paid for the rest of the night

This is one of the best tribute songs that were ever made for our troops. Look up another song by him called "Still A Soldier"... It hits me hard because I have family in the military and have served

I’ve met Trace several times and he is a huge supporter of the military. He spent Thanksgiving Day with us overseas in 2002 instead of being with his family. That meant a lot to all of us.

Thank you Sir for your kind words. This country is blessed with individuals such as yourself that understand. 🤟💞🍻

As a fully and permanently disabled and wheelchair bound veteran this song breaks me every single time. Every. Single. Time. I don't regret a moment of my service and give the chance I would give what I gave and more. But that service comes with a whole lot of heartache. Friends lost, PTSD, complicated memories from service . . . Yeah. This song hits big time. Every time I hear it I fall apart. Because even though I'd do it all over again knowing what I know now, that doesn't mean there isn't a whole mountain of hurt in all of those memories.

I come from a military family. Had a grandfather who was a POW for 6 months, but he came home! I Was even born on a marine corp base. I have to say the most Sombering places i have been are Arlington, the veitnam wall in DC, and pearl harbor! Cry everytime! TAPS, 21 gun salute. I Breakdown everytime! To many military funerals 💔

Watching you react to the emotion in these songs has earned you a new subscriber. Thank you for your emotional honesty.

Arlington really makes you feel everything. What all those military did for us, they deserve all we can do for them.

Check out a video of the changing of the guard from there. The steps, their cadence…everything has a meaning to it. What the guards have to learn…just everything. If you ever get a chance to see it in person….WOW!!! Just impressive….what else can you say…

Thank you for another wonderful reaction. My grandfather was honored with a plot at Arlington, when we would go through those gates, the entire atmosphere changed, such a special and sacred place.

Sebs, your reaction here was perfect it was the beautiful truth of you ... emotional, respectful, and gave us perspective on your journey. One day I urge you to visit Arlington anyone who loves this country who does is changed for the better after spending time there. Arlington sits next to major highways, Regan National Airport is close, and D.C. is across the river ... yet is is incredibly peaceful ... quiet ... until you hear the peal of the mournful trumpet ring softly yet profoundly as taps is played and then the 21 gun volley as another chosen one is brought home for the final time. My father is laid to rest in Arlington, we moved to Maryland when was assigned to the Pentagon during Vietnam. Dad didn't talk much about his service but earning the right to be buried in Arlington was a huge honor to him ... my cousins still speak in awe of Arlington and learning dad would one day be there. Standing there on a bitterly cold January day I spoke to the Officer in Charge of the funeral detail, conveying to him that it we felt it was too cold for the bugler to play taps. We truly feared the man could possibly be hurt (sever frostbite was the concern) by the bitter cold ... the temp was a balmy 14 degrees ... the officer said he appreciated our concern but was sure the bugler would not agree. A brief minute later the bugler looked towards us, nodding once and then shaking his head gently side to side, he acknowledged our concern but as predicted insisted on playing. After the service I briefly spoke to him, he thanked us for caring and said words I will never forget "Your father earned this moment by doing his job, playing for him is an honor and the least I can do to thank him for his service." That your journey to citizenship was touched by that moment at Normandy was beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes and Arlington will have a huge impact when you do visit. Your emotions shared from that moment touched me, my dad was part of D-Day, he flew in paratroopers that fateful day - starting with the very first run when they took the Pathfinders in. He earned a Purple Heart when anti-aircraft shell exploded just outside the plane, the shrapnel cutting his left arm mere inches from his heart and head yet he didn't wear the award. He felt it wasn't right considering what the men jumping out of his plane had done or the men down on the beach. My dad will always be my hero, he came from humble beginning never knowing his father who died just before he was born and then losing his mom at 7 years old, An orphan growing up in the South during the Great Depression he enlisted just days after turning 17 in January 1941. A boy really, one that needed a job to survive. He followed his brother and brothers-in-law into the Army because it was simply what the men did. 11 months later December 7th, 1941 my Uncle and namesake (humbled to carry his name) was at Schoefield Barracks during the Pearl Harbor attack. I never got to know my Uncle because while he survived that day, he would not survive fighting the Nazis paying the ultimate price when a landmine exploded near the end of he war in Europe. Dad worshiped his big brother the loss profound but he didn't hate Germans just the opposite the people he loved ... Nazis not so much. Dad gave 32+ years of service. It turns out it was just family tradition ... Dad never knew this, I learned through genealogy research that my Thomas ancestors have served in the military here in the U.S. since before it was even the U.S. - dad would have been honored to know this. He passed long before this song came out but the first time I heard it broke me. Someone finally had put into words what the military feels for this country ... "I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done I can rest in peace" ... they don't do it for glory they do it for everyone back home, to protect our way of life. Dad never knew this, I learned through genealogy research that my Thomas line has served in the military here in the U.S. since before it was the U.S. - dad would have been so proud of that. I apologize if I over shared here, you really did move me with your emotions about Normandy and the respect you show for the military.

Trace Adkins “every light in the house is on” is a fantastic one!

Doesn’t Trace have a beautiful voice. Unlike so many cookie cutter voices out their, when you hear him you automatically know who’s singing. Love watching your videos and hearing you talk about your new appreciation for just what country music is. It’s bleeding words with a melody. Story telling at its best!❤

This song is so moving. My dad served before I was born. When he died 6 yrs ago they played taps and presented mom the flag. He's in our family plot not in Arlington but he served. So many died for our freedom. So grateful to all who have and do serve. This is such a beautiful, well written song. Brings tears to my eyes. Respect to our military.

An Army brat in the 50’s and 60’s. Dad’s Korea tour cancelled last minute due to cease fire. Followed by 2 Vietnam tours. He came home and lived to age 87. My grandfather was a pilot, diagnosed with TB on his enlistment physical. Army Air Corp allowed him to enlist, kept him in US, training 80% of aces in WWII. Our heroes in Arlington need to be honored but those who served and survived deserve honor. Not to mention the families who bore the loss or absence of a son, husband, father while they served. I am now a pacifist but I still salute those who have served.

Ohhhh my heart. Country patriotic songs get me EVERY time. It’s a rabbit hole

Nothing but resecpt for all our veterans.. I still remember going to Arlington when I was 10 to see my Uncle Paul's cross... My Uncle Paul was the leader of the marine platoon that put our flag up over Iwo Jima... He lost many of his men over there.. then my Uncle Paul went to Korea .. got shot and was in a wheel chair the rest of his life.. men and women that serve our country... respect and be thankful for their sacrifice.

I served as a field artillery officer in the US Army and, while always primarily assigned to combat battalions, I had the honor of serving as OIC on dozens of funeral details (a periodic additional duty, usually for elderly veterans who passed away peacefully). In retrospect I feel that was in fact the most worthwhile aspect of my service, honoring veterans and helping provide closure for their loved ones. Having been to Normandy you might appreciate viewing the movie "Saving Private Ryan", starring Tom Hanks; a superbly done film (gritty war movie, not relaxing). There is also an outstanding WWII series produced by Spielberg and Hanks, "Band of Brothers", based on the real world actions of a company of paratroopers who went into action in Normandy on D-Day. Each episode begins with real world Easy Company survivors being interviewed. You don't find out who they are in the series until the end of the series. Congratulations for completing the US citizenship process, and welcome!

I can relate to your story. I was born and raised in the US but Memorial Day was always just another day off of school and a cookout. Until I lived in DC and visited Arlington on the holiday.

All the white crosses ordained with flags and watching the reverence of the changing of the guard at the unknown soldier… humbling

Welcome to America buddy, Love her and she will love you back

Very well done song. Reminds you of what it means to be an American... just like the "Star Spangled Banner as You've Never Heard it" story makes me cry everytime, so does this song...

My dad's name is on The Wall. I spent 10 years in the U.S. Army. Thanks for reacting to this.

My uncle was a Silver Star recipient, so this hits hard. Thank you for doing this song.

I went to Arlington for my 8th grade trip. 5 years later I went when I graduated basic and ait for the army. There were no words to describe the experience. Arlington is one of the most touching places on the planet.

Thank you for being here and becoming a citizen brother. People are free to do whatever they want here, but the biggest responsibility is protecting and maintaining the freedoms that make this country great. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Having veterans in my family for who knows how long(i can trace them back to ww2 so far) burying 3 of them,i can firmly say that this song kills me every time I hear it. Its just such a powerful song. Thank you Trace for making such an amazing song and remembering them ❤

Trace Adkins, has always Honor the men and women who serve our country. My dad was in Oklahoma Air Force.For 25 year . The day he finished his time for them. He signed in to The Oklahoma Air National Guard's, for 7 years. Till a heart attack. He was a veteran till day God called home at age 78. Passed in his sleep beside our mom. Down south Texas, they been going for the past 24 years, for his health. It was second home for them. It's been 9 years since he went to heaven. On February 19,2014. 9 Day's after my 51's birthday, on the 10, of February. And 3 days later my daughter, his granddaughter.Had her first child a grandson, on February 22,2014. She was a week and half over due. I know in my heart, daddy/great grandpa got to hold Chason, with God that day. On Father's Day June 2013, she got tell grandpa and ma, that she and her son, was having there baby. He was happy. My daughter and son in-law, and my son . Was so close to there grandpa. My dad is still my hero. There are 6 of kids in my family. 5 older brothers and I was the youngest and only girl. My dad, has 1 of his & moma's son's up there with him. My brother Sidney and I, was still trying to handle missing our dad. And on Father'sDay June 18,2017,.God took Sidney home , Sidney, said afterward he and his wife of 41 . That he had stage 4 cancer through his body. The doctor's told them Sidney, had maybe 2 weeks. God gave him 4 weeks &4 days when passed. Sidney said, dad was waiting for him to come home. It is still so hard to this day for me. I was and always so close to them. Sidney was 57 years old. Our dad was 78 years old. But him and mom on January 3,2014, was theirs 57 anniversary, and dad passed on February 19,2014. To me the day's and my brother age is so close. Sidney wanted to come back home to were mom & dad , raised all 6 of kids. In Moore ,OK. And mom got him and Jackie tickets to come home from Houston Tx. He wish was to all of us. One last time. He was in so much pain. They got be here for 2 days and went home on the 3 day. Before he lift we all meet up for breakfast, the first time all 6 of kids had breakfast together, in over 35 years. No could eat but it meant so much to all of us. And 2 weeks later he went home to be with our dad . On 7-3-2017, was his and Jackie's 41 anniversary, plus we know her from we were little kids. Her aunt lived 2 doors down from us. My dad and Sidney, always had a big hug for anyone and had a smile on there faces when family came to see them and friends. Trace Adkins, has a voice that , makes you stop and listen, Me and my daughter Jenny, got to see him , live and his can make cry and smile with his music. He goes over to play for our troops, . And he stay's to the real country music. Wear some of this new singers from 2000's and today music isn't county. Like Randy Travis bought it back in 1980's. From Trace Adkins, Alan Jackson, George Straight, Garth Brooks, One thing all this guy's had was there love for the one and only George Jones's. . Plus Vince Gill. Thank You, for showing your true emotions, when you play the songs. There's so many out there cusses through they playing the music, tha they make all about them. Sorry this is long. It's part of having PTSD. I have. May God Bless you and your family.🌹

My pops took me to Nashville the summer after I turned 21 in 2005 and we did the whole Nashville tourist thing... Broadway, country HOF, Ryman, Gaylord Mills, the Opry. The Opry that week had Andy Griggs, Jeff Bates and Trace Adkins. It just so happened to be July 2 and Trace played this song (he hadn't released it to radio or shot a video yet) in honor of the vets for the 4th. Needless to say, lotta eye allergies in the house.

My family has given much to our country. My great uncle Bob joined at 16 years old to fight in WW2, stayed in for Korea and Vietnam. He lied about his age (they figured it out), but when he changed all the dates in the family Bible, some of the 10 siblings had a time trying to prove (or even correctly remember, lol) how old they were. I got Daddy's flag at the end of 2021. He served in the navy before I was born. I miss him everyday. On a lighter note, I surely enjoy your reactions. I do love me some country music. I love classic rock too, there's lots to love there. Mostly the 60's, 70's, and 80's are my faves.

If you’ve never been to Arlington to see the cemetery and the changing of the guards you should. Research the duties and sacrifices the guards make to guard the tomb of the unknown soldier . All Americans should. It’s life changing.

This is one of those songs that chokes me up every single time I hear it. Trace Adkins is a great singer, his voice is so distinct and really goes well with this song

Just wow!. I’m familiar with Trace Atkinson but never neared this song before. Also his voice is great. I love hearing him sing a old spiritual song called Wayfaring Stranger. I believe he sang Every Light in the house is in… a favorite of mine Yes, country music is simple yet profound. It can make you feel sad and happy… just down to earth music we can relate to.

Every time I go to D. C. I stay at Henderson Hall and visit my guys and gals. Their remains lie here but they are and always will be with me. I make sure to stop a while and talk to them and fill them in on the latest news about our “family.” Then I visit anyone I still know in the Old Guard.

Love this song and how touched you are by it.

I have 2 folded flags in cases. Both from my parents funerals. Dad was 100 percent disabled vietnam veteran. Mom was a navy vet 69 to 71. They are buried at the Biloxi VA. At the end on their section my Uncle is buried. Down the hill is a gentleman who was in WW2 and his wife. I have a routine i follow when i go visit. This song gets me every time i hear it.

I served in the US Army and I am a retired Deputy Sheriff. I found your videos today and really enjoyed them. I have to say I more enjoy your enthusiasm in being a new US citizen and I would like to share my comments I made on facebook when I shared one of your videos. ( Trace Adkins Arlington Reaction). Anyway for what its worth I posted this on FB I love watching these " reaction" videos but this one is special. Not necessarily the video, which is an awesome sing by trace adkins called Arlington, but the observer. He immigrated here when he was 15. He became a citizen only a few years ago. He tells the story of the first guy who befriended him in school when he came to this country and later died while serving over seas in 2021. If most Americans felt the way this new American feels about his new Home we would be so better off. This guy embodies the American dream of Immigration. He is so proud to be an American. He talks with so much pride about the then upcoming Memorial day weekend that will be his First that he will be be flying An American flag as an American Citizen. This isnt political just so heartwarming to see someone so overjoyed to become a citizen. Ive watched several of his "reaction" videos tonight and he is pretty cool in my book. He is definitely someone I am proud to have Served my country for.

My son is in the army 🇺🇸. I could t be more proud of him

So much love & honor in this song

You mentioned the meaning of country songs is pretty straight forward. I watch Ridiculous on MTV and Rob will have rappers on as quest and he has to ask them what a "song" is about!!!! Cracks me up 😂🤣

Trace, I just listened to this, with my husband, and I to was overwhelmed by the song. I should have been ready, but then who thinks ahead. My husband flew over Vietnam in a WB-47E Stratojet during Operation ArcLight. He told me that during that time the war was 'sterile' to him. From the altitude, they flew it was impossible to see what was happening on the ground. After one of his flights, the commander asked him if he ever took any R&R, he even offered him time in Hawaii. The next day, my husband got on a C-47 and headed to Vietnam. He wanted to see the war on the ground. He also went there because his best friend was in Da Nang. His duty was flying in an AC-47 'Puff the Magic Dragon'. Since my husband was into airplanes, he accepted the opportunity when he was offered a ride in the second aircraft. He was assigned to one of the three miniguns. After they accomplished their mission, they returned. His friend's aircraft had not returned. After spending some time around the flight line, armed personnel came out of the barracks and jumped into jeeps. My husband went along. It turned out that their aircraft had caught some fire and crashed into the jungle. A firefight ensued, and finally, their comrades could be recovered and returned to base. All were DOA. My husband returned to his base and the next day he was called into the Colonel's office. He was told to pack up, the Angle Flight would arrive shortly, and he would accompany his friend back to the US. He never talked about how it went in Kentucky, but I know now that what he saw and what he did left him a different man. When we watched Arlington with you today, there was not a dry eye in the room. Thank you for what you do. People need to know.

You should react to Trace’s ‘Till the Last Shot’s Fired’ especially since you mentioned Normandy. Check out the CMA performance with the West Point Glee Club. Trace is a massive man with a voice and heart to match. 💔♥️♥️

One of the best songs from Trace..such a story behind the song

EVERY time I hear this song I cry.

This is an amazing song & he also has a ton of fun tunes. He also has one called 'Songs about me' which perfectly describes someone who is not a country fan... yet. Arlington is a song that is moving to all people, but especially Americans. My brother & his wife both served in the Air force & they are in a national military cemetery like this. She passed first & was cremated & then when he passed, we put her in his casket & they are buried together. One side of that beautiful white stone is his name & info & hers in on the other side. To stand there, looking across thousands of identical hero's stones is so powerful, it is hard to describe.

If you became an American, You are an American. Proud to have served for you. Salute.

Take the time sometime to watch the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown at Arlington. Something every American should see

My oldest son had joined the US Navy just before 9/11/2001. He had no idea. Later, he was married and had children. My second oldest, then, when we went to Iraq, my second oldest voluntarily joined the US Army. Why? In the middle of conflict, would you do that? Well, when I asked, he said "if someone has to go there, is has to be ME, not my brother, not the others........." A mama's heart melted that day. They both ended up in Iraq. They both made it home. So many did not. Neither of them will ever be the same. I love and have pride for both of them.

❤ welcome to America you are a wonderful addition. My dad was in the navy for 20 years. My great uncle died in France in WWII. My dads wife was navy my brother and his wife were army. The military is everything to me.

Thank you for reviewing Arlington, it is a place that is close to my heart. My son was a Tomb Sentinel at the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier. It was such a great honor for him to honor those who have not only lost their lives for this country, but also lost their identity. If you have not gone to Arlington you should, it’s a place I love and hate equally.

Thank you for showing your respect to myself, my father, grandfather and all of the other veterans.
