  3. Brody Morris says

    One of the only good buzzfeed vids left

  4. Sage Warren says

    oh god. i’m in the back of my job just crying my eyes out.

  5. incognito **** says

    I guess reading the comment renewed my faith in humanity , love , and sorrow .

  6. JynFlyn says

    I cried during this video, and it really pisses me off how they inserted the buzzfeed intro and outro into the video. It really just kills the moment.

  7. don autry says

    Slow it down.

  8. Robert Craig says

    Slow down!

  9. Julian Griffiths says

  11. RIA says

    To think that buzzfeed used to do this kind of videos… Oh, what happened?

  12. Sierra Gibbas says

    I miss this kind of content

  13. xxdewxx9 says

    Help me There used to be 2014 and 2015 "year in review" videos with this level of production quality. I think those were really good, I think ze even narrated them too. I can't find them anymore, and I think they got removed. If anyone who sees this is able to find either of those, go ahead and link it. If you can't find em, atleast somebody please tell me they remember those too.

  14. KeyraVanilla AJ says

    I cried so much like if you cried

    Edit:not begging for likes just making sure who cried

  15. Asyanur Keklikci says

    when buzzfeed used to be good

  16. Swa Pharma says

    Oh God. ..I can't believe I'm crying

  17. MidnightOrigins says

    back when buzzfeed was good

  18. Joe Mezzanini says

    Great Video, but it would be so much better if the narration spoke slower, and the slides displayed longer. It feels rushed and that takes away from its impact. Great assembly of photos, titles, etc .. just needs a slower version for added drama. Thanks for posting

  19. MAKAROW says

    1:04 watch to the right.

  20. Myerr says

    member when buzzfeed wasnt complete cancer?

  21. Fletcher Stone says

    Why can't all videos be like this? No political charge behind it st all. Just emotion.

  22. Dorje Wang says

    that is true….

  23. - says

    this is so powerful… I’m holding back tears

  24. Matthew Howard says

    To this day one of my favorite videos. I miss when this was buzzfeed. I think they should do this every couple of years to reflect on the history being made today and the pictures that capture it perfectly.

  25. Emun says

    Hey the picture it's too fats I can't read it I had to pause then read

  26. Rachel says

    Who is the guy speaking?

  27. Kelsey Newman says

    Anyone in 2017?

  28. Ruben Diaz says

    I'm evil for this but

    0:36 "you're father was 360 no scoped"

  29. The only good video to ever come out of BuzzFeed.

  30. Bee says

    Buzzfeed plz bring this back

  31. Zip says

    when I saw the boy accepting a flag at his father's memorial, I lost it!
    even more for the lady leaning on the hearse as it passed by. that picture always gets me.

    I pray my brothers get home safely.

  32. solokom says

  33. WeedyistFlame420 says

    I come back to this video irregularly since it was posted, I cry every time…
