My heart will build a bridge of light across both time and space
Wherever you are, our hearts still beat as one

Our hopes and dreams, my heart and yours, forever shining far
May the stars shine all around you may your courage never cease

I'm also 17 and this has me in tears every time. This is REAL...not some generic plastic girl group like Little Mix. Please help these brave women achieve no.1 xxx
@IainHamilton
How can anybody not like this. These women are proud of their husbands and the job they do and we should show our pride alongside them. Some of these women may never see their loved ones again so the whole country should stand with them and honour them as much as we honour the personnel of our armed forces..

I am an army girlfriend, my boyfriend has just returned from his 3rd tour of Afghanistan. Long have us left behind served silently. I think this is fantastic, showing the nation what we at home go through during those 6months. i've brought my numerous copies, chokes me up every time-it hits very close to home xxx
@missdec76
This leaves me in tears everytime I hear it. Beautiful song. Think Gareth is amazing at what he has done for so many people over the years. I hope this gets to No.1 for xmas and you all continue to sing together. You should be so proud at what you have achieved x
@jualmedia
These women and women just like them, watch their partners go away and never know whether they'll see them alive again. We should all remember that. The television series, the video, the song, the choirmaster, the choir and the sentiment are all simply amazing. The whole country should get behind them and ensure that this becomes the number 1 song of the year, never mind just Christmas!

@Gemmbar
Thank you to your British troops for sacrificing their lives for our freedom. My gratitude to them always. This video was so emotional, but our thoughts are always with their wives and family at this time. Thank you once again! x

As a former member of the US Air Force, I want to say KUDOS to the wives who stand by their men. And also KUDOS to these beautiful singers. I am 57 years old and y'all still brought a few tears to my eyes. GOD BLESS AMERICA and THE MILITARY WIVES CHOIR!
@mogodbeer
I can't watch this without a tear in my eye, well quite a few. My son is in the army in Australia, going to Afghanistan next year. This song is so beautiful and the show that went with it was inspiring too.

600 people have no heart at all!, how can anyone dislike this...these women are singing from the heart, they miss their loved ones at this time, and of course at anytime while their other halves are away, serving crown and country. I respect our forces and will stand by them unlike certain ones, god bless our troops, and god bless these military wives!
