Memorial Day: American Heroes

I deeply share the sentiments as a veteran of more than 20 yrs of service.

Thank you for sharing these video's...it gives "Memorial Day" a whole new meaning. Most people would take "Memorial Day" as a three day weekend and travel somewhere without thinking of the purpose of the Day. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends that lost loved ones as veterans or during a war. God bless all of our troops and God bless America!!!!!!!

People go through this and so much more. Put it in the back of your mind and forget it. God bless our men and women. God bless our country. Do not forget 9/11.

As a volunteer with the USO, as a mother- in-law of a service man, a cousin of a service man, a child of the vietnam era, I can NEVER forget the sacrifices our men & women in service for their country. Not only Can I never forget, I DON'T WANT to forget. We've had warriors in our familiy, for generations, for most every war or conflict since the beginning of our great nation. Whether you agree with this war, or this President, you fail as a human being & an American if you turn your back on our service members & their families. We CANNOT forget the terrorist attacks on our friends & families on our soil, or overseas. I hate war. I don't want any type of war zone on our great nation's soil; for my grandchildren to live in & die in. As in WWII, someone else brought the battle to us; stupidly thinking we were too weak, too segmented to fight back. They thought they could just roll over us, take over our nation, bring their hatred & slavery to our land, & we would'nt fight back. ( This nation has it's problems, with racism, poverty, violence, drugs, etc., but we don't want to take on their problems on top of our own.) Well, once again, brave men & women are having to fight someone else's wars, to keep it out of our borders. I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN & PROUD OF OUR SERVICE PEOPLE! Keep praying for our troops everywhere, our leaders, our nation. UNTIL EVERY ONE COMES HOME USOPAMELA

On Memorial Day I will be out at the Military Cemetary in Jacksonville, NC., visiting my father a 3-War Marine, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.

Semper Fidelis to all who have served. Marine

To all my brothers...... SEMPER FI.....cb4

Thank you for the videos. I cry too hard watching them, but I pray for all the troops including my husband over there fighting for us and their safe return. God bless all of our troops! No matter our opinion on the war, we need to support the troops!! Until they ALL come home !!

monday it's memorial i just want all the troops over there to know you are doing a heck of a good job and thankyou for keeping us safe over here. Ipray this stupid;idiotic war over oil will come to an end soon and you will all be able to come home soon. if not I HOPE THEY TAKE BUSH,PUT HIM IN A DUGOUT OVER THERE AND GIVE HIM A LITTLE TASTE OF WHAT IT IS LIKE OVER THERE. I SINCERELY MEAN THIS, maybe then it would wake him up.

As a Vietnam Vet & survivor of the 67 & 68 Tet Offenses , I am finally able to talk more openly & with PRIDE relating to my roll as a soldier . Unfortunitely it took 9/11 to happen here on our turf for the American public to re-gain their sense of Patriotism , which means they will be supportive as long as it does not become an inconvience for them . { VERYshort memories } My son is a "Blackhawk combat pilot , My son-in-law is acting command Sargent Major for an anti-ballistic unit . They { we } are not always in agreement with the Leaders that command , however they as well as all our military MEN & WOMEN obey & perform their duties to best of their abilities to the point of laying down their lives SO that others may experience the freedom that for YEARS TOO MANY OF US HAVE TAKEN FOR GRANTED !!!!I . I am PROUD to be an AMERICAN & some day I would like to see the VIETNAM VETERANS MOMORIAL before i die .I am PROUD of all the men & women of all the BRANCHES that live & train for one & only one purpose & that is to not only protect us & our loved ones but to protect our freedom of choice , religon -- our CONSTITUTION .When you walk through an airport
