they had that as a preview at the movies last night and it made me cry. i was like thanks carmike.

we saw it at the movies this past week and downloaded the version from 1800goguard.com so that it is now on Ipods/cds/ etc

thanks for sharing that... gotta show DB

i saw that in the movies and there were 3 women (not including myself..) crying in the theater..

I saw this video for the first time the day before DB left, we went to see a movie together. He and I both cried. But as we left the theaters, people were thanking him and shaking his hands and everything (He was in ACUs)

Thank you so much for sharing.

The national guard is continually sending me recruitment stuff, and they had the lyrics to this in a little magazine thingy. After reading the lyrics (and hanging them on my wall with all my other military related stuff) I'm too afraid to listen to the song. I know I'll start crying .

I was on here cuz I couldn't sleep. Now I really can't.

they played this video at the movies when i went. i love it!!!

From the magazine I was just talking about:

This November and December, experience the Army National Guard in theaters nation wide. The Guard will premier its new movie, "Citizen/Soldier", filmed at Camp Roberts near Paso Robles, Calif. featuring a new song - also called "Citizen/Soldier" - by 3 Doors Down, the three minute film will depict the Guard's history, its heroes and its mission.

it is SUCH a good music video.. if you can handle it, i'd recommend watching it!

I saw this video when Andy and I went to see The Mist. I think both the song and video are awesome.

ohh that song gave me chills

wow my best friends brother whos like my bro is NG and in iraq right now and this made me bawl at work! everyones looking at me funny...oh well

lyrics were kind of ahrd to find so i figured id post them



Beyond the boundries of your city's lights.
Stand the heroes waiting for your cries.
So many times you did not bring this on yourself.
When the moment finally comes, I'll be there to help.

On that day, when you need your brothers and sisters to care.
I'll be right here.

[[Chorus]]
Citizen soldiers.
Holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
Standing on guard for the ones that we've sheltered.
We'll always be ready because we will always be there.

When there's people crying in the streets.
When they're starving for a meal to eat.
When they simply need a place to make their beds.
Right here underneath my wing, you can rest your head.



On that day, when you need your brothers and sisters to care.
I'll be right here.

[[Chorus]]

Hope and pray, that you never need me.
The rest assured I will not let you down.
I walk beside you, but you may not see me.
The strongest among you may not wear a crown.

On the day when you need your brothers and sisters to care.
I'll be right here.
On that day when you don't have strength for the burning you bear.
I'll be right here.

They showed that before every movie for a few months in Jacksonville, NC.
There were a few women crying when I was there.
There were also a few women with kids at "Bee Movie" saying they wished they wouldn't have shown it because their kids were crying because "daddy" was in Iraq...it's a great song.

Thanks so much for posting this.........I love 3 Doors Down, and I hadn't heard this yet. I'll be sure to show DF tomorrow, as he's in the Guard and just returned from Iraq.

Thanks for posting that! I sent it to DB he had seen it before but was glad that I had seen it and now he has it on his computer. Thanks!

I watched it today. I love 3 Doors Down anyway, so I knew I would LOVE this. I added the video to my myspace page.

i love this
