There are a ton of great songs about military life, that reference the military in some way; some of the more modern works may have a video associated with it, and some of the older classics continue to define the military experience to this day. From country to rock, ballads & pop, to more traditional flavors--did a particular song inspire, educate, or simply strike a chord with you? Please feel free to share any inspiring military-related music, any music or songs that makes you think of/or reminds you of your military service, as well as any links, photos, descriptions or anything that helps you tell your story. The idea here is to have a fun and thought provoking discussion, which will be fun, informative, and provide a means to tell our stories... and to learn about one another as well as our sister services in the process. Wishing you all the best, I look forward to hearing from you, and interacting with you all in the threads!

Hope On The Rocks Releases 10/30/2012 Pre-Order on iTunes here! http://smarturl.it/hotritunespre
I am a country girl at heart and a big fan of Toby Keith so I'm going to have to go with American Soldier. It was played at my dawning of the beret ceremony during bct and we would always sing it in the showers during AIT and BCT. Makes me miss those battles!

Yes i agree with you its a good song and i liked his music alot till a SGT of mine said he was on a detail helping set up for one of his concerts and he got a chance to get up close enough to extend his hand out and thank him for all the support he show the armed forces but instead of shaking my SGT's hand he just turned and walked away.

Here's an interesting idea and music-related thread, you can check it out here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_PtnvVQhqA&feature=youtu.be&t=30s https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/wartime-national-anthem-what-if-we-saved-the-major-key-for-peacetime-and-played-the-minor-version-during-war?c=1&page=1&urlhash=115917#115917
Wartime National Anthem? What if we saved the major key for peacetime and played the minor...

hero of war - rise against
Zzyzx Rd - stone sour
Green fields of France - dropkick murphys
I have a tendency to love the darker side of music, so some might not exactly agree with all of these. Hero of war mostly I would think, but being a member of the uniformed service isn't always pretty, and I really love how it's depicted in this song. Zzyzx Rd, although I don't believe is a "military" song, depicts the military life so beautifully "I get to go home in one week, but I'm leaving home in 3 weeks, they throw me a bone just to pick me dry..." For example. I've always correlated it with the moments of homesick all of us feel from time to time. Being a Boston girl, I have a love for the Murphy's on principle alone, but this version is just so beautiful. Again, a darker side of the military song.
