WATCH_ Soldiers Deployed For 11 Months Sing _Take Me Home, Country Roads_ On The Way Home

Soldiers had been deployed for nearly a year when they found themselves boarding a plane to go back home. The plane was landing in West Virginia, which seemed like the perfect opportunity to belt out a classic John Denver hit… “Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads,” the group sang together.

Chandler McDaniel of the U.S. Army posted the video of him and the rest of the soldiers singing the song to social media app Tik Tok. The video garnered over 125,000 likes and over 555,000 views. The video has also been reposted to social media counts including the infamous Barstool. Additionally, media companies like TODAY Show, Fox, USA TODAY, and more have reached out to McDaniel to talk about the video.
