....someone on my FB page posted this. Yanked my heart.... So many people don't understand why... so many choose to spit and deface in disrespect...

This vid is not new but new to me. I hold so much respect for what our men and women have done for our country... This should be shown to every youngster and the older as well..

 

I Fought For You

Thank You, This should be watched by all.

Thanks for posting this.....

I never saw that before. Thanks.

Same here thank you.

Thanx. The only other reference to Veteran's Day I've seen on this forum was someone wondering if Range 14 was going to be open.

Great message, shame some of the young people in uniform did not salute correctly

Thanks..

Who cares. Carrying the message is what's important. I got plastered at a West Point function once and saluted with the wrong hand. Admiral knew, but he knew we were messed up. His point was at least we attempted and smirked.

 

The part that got me was the elders themselves. They were great! There are not a lot left. We need to teach the young when they will no longer be able to or be around. They are sad days passed and to come. Seems they don't get taught enough about it.

I care!

 

If a solder cant be trusted to salute properly, especially in a public forum, how can they be trusted to protect the Country. 

 

What happens at private military events, especially with alcohol involved, is not in question. AFAIC, if someone is not smart enough to know which hand to salute with, regardless of the amount of alcohol consumed, they should not be in the military.

Are we so hell bent on throwing this thread out to the wolves to beat chest and destroy it's meaning? Do me the favor and don't... If you cannot accept what it stands for, rather than to have no recognition, then we are doomed as a society. Moderators. Feel free to lock this thread down. I'd rather it hold it's meaning as meant than to see it picked apart.

The message is good - the commercial is wrong.

 

If they are going to take the time to make the commercial to honor the military, they should at the very least, depict the military personnel correctly.

I am going to ask you politely ..... Once..... to stop crapping on this thread....

 

You ever hear the phrase... It's the thought that counts....   ....

 

So please, stay out of this thread so I DONT have to lock it.....  

right in the feels.

Wow.   Not much more I can say about that.  Just wow..  

Thank you!

Very moving video... Politics aside, the men and women who've fought for us throughout history deserve the utmost respect

First time I saw this 3-4 years ago I thought it was awesome, still is today.

 

For the last 2 years I have been instructing our new guys on firehouse life and the daily routine that composes most of of our day.

Putting the flag up each morning for some seems to be a chore. I have been pushing that these new recruits should be looking at as an honor to raise our colors each day  - that millions of Americans have died so that we may have the ability to do this task.

 

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that most have no idea what the colors or design of the flag even represents.

 

Think I'll pay for the download version of this and add it to my new guy speech.
