I have known and experienced all of these emotions.

I, too, am proud, and ever grateful, for the service and sacrifice these men and women have made for all of us.

Thank you for sharing this, BDG.

I was led here by Stardancer....

This is an amazing video. I am crying for those that lost
a soldier.

a soldier............

thanks again,

Great video.

Powerful video indeed. So sad to see the coffins.

omg that was sad Richard! I totally agree.

Great video!

I too was led here by Stardancer, and I'm glad I was. Such a heart wrenching video.

I am so proud of all those who serve, and those who wait for them.

Thanks for sharing this. My brother was in the army for several years, and when we would go and visit, we'd always be around these men, covered in brown camo...brave, stong, and true. I don't think I've ever felt safer in my life, than when we'd be in the middle of a military base full of men and women who would give their lives for their country. It's an amazing video that you have here.

I saw in a magazine today something that you would like. It was a sampler (a stitched picture) that said, "America...the land of the free, BECAUSE of the brave". I like that. Not "home of the brave", but "because" of the brave, someone should have thought of those words when they were writing the national anthem. I like it the way it is...but I think that these words are more fitting for today. It's the brave soldier that makes our country a place that so many people are longing to be.

I saw this one already. Sure is a great reminder. Thanks BDG!

Thank you for posting this.
"America...the land of the free, BECAUSE of the brave" I like this saying also.
for the forgotten & hated solders. The POW, the MIA's of other wars. SO
for those fighting now those who have lost their lives defending are freedom.
I pray for alls safe return.
I am proud of ALL of THEM...
