I left a comment on the imeem page for the original when I first watched but I want to leave more detailed feedback because I don't think the one line I wrote then really sums up just how much I adore this video.

I know Jesus Christ is probably your most famous vid and rightly so, it's awesome. But Soldiering On has always been my favourite. The emotional punch when I first saw it was just intense and even now, when I watch it for like the fifty-hundreth time, it still makes my chest ache.

I love that first image of Dean's body arching out of the hospital bed. I love the transition at 0:35 from Dean watching John's corpse burn to him as a child smiling at his father. I love every single image in the clips around 0:38. I love we would walk until we could not crawl. I love how you show Dean's breaking down after John's death at 1:06ish. I love Dean's deep breath around the flames. I love Dean nodding. I love how you show what John left behind.
