Wherever You Will Go American Military Tribute

I make no money from this video. Done for historic purposes and no copyright infringement intended. Music is "Wherever you Will Go" from the Calling. Buy their Album "Camino Palermo" today. First off, keep vulgar and hateful comments to yourself. This is a TRIBUTE to the fighting men and women of the United States Military not a political statement or debate about Iraq. If you leave an idiotic comment, it will be removed and you will be blocked from contact. Treat our troops with respect or go find someone who has the same low I.Q. level. This MY tribute to the men and women of the United States Military, both past and present, who have served our nation and gone wherever duty called... Symbolism of the song and video... So lately, been wondering Who will be there to take my place (Who will take the place of the Founding Fathers and uphold and protect the Constitution? Which Patriots will stand up and continue the traditions they laid?) When I'm gone you'll need love To light the shadows on your face If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all Then between the sand and stone Could you make it on your own (Can we as a new nation survive the struggles of our own history and face great trials?) If I could, then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low I'll go wherever you will go (Our doing the hard tasks. The Patriots who have taken the call. The Barbary Wars, the War of 1812, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the War on Terrorism/Iraq, Commodore Perry, Stephen Decatur's engagement with the Barbary Pirate in front of Tripoli, Winfield Scott, Andrew Jackson, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, William Eaton marching on the beach with the Marines at Tripoli in 1805, Eisenhower, Patton following the boys to Bastogne. Soldiers, sailors and airmen, on land, in the air, or at sea) And maybe, I'll find out A way to make it back someday To watch you, to guide you (Stephen Decatur and his wife, families and love) Through the darkest of your days (families being there to comfort soldiers through their experiences. Soldiers guiding their brethren and going where their fellow soldiers go) If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all (Soldiers and sailors facing great trials) Then I hope there's someone out there Who can bring me back to you (The combat medics saving their fellow man) If I could, then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low (the Tuskegee Airmen) I'll go wherever you will go (Highlighting the contributions of women and men who fought and served the United States in the face of racial adversity and the brotherhood of soldiers in combat) Run away with my heart Run away with my hope Run away with my love (America the Beautiful, purple mountains, fruited plains, from sea to shining sea, and our mutual love for our country) I know now, just quite how (Clips of various wartime presidents) My life and love might still go on (the ultimate sacrifices for their love and country are eternal) In your heart, in your mind I'll stay with you for all of time (the various memorials and the ways we remember them. They will always be with us and we with them as shown in the soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which is manned by a soldier 24/7 365 days a year) If I could, then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low (the connection between the generations of fighting men and women. The female pilot gears up to fight in a profession that was once given to men only, the elderly sailor, showing his patriotism with a new generation) I'll go wherever you will go (Old Glory following our troops and sharing the same experiences with them) If I could turn back time I'll go wherever you will go If I could make you mine I'll go wherever you will go I'll go wherever you will go (The families, who while not on the battlefield, whose love goes with the soldier)
