They forgot to mention that Arlington National Cemetery is on Robert E. Lee's former property. As the ultimate "Fuck you" to Lee, after the Civil War, Lincoln had the National Cemetery built on Lee's old property and house, which Lee loved so much. OWNED.
I am one who is almost always stoic. I rarely show sorrow, and it is often hard for me to do so. However, this video, and simply seeing Arlington, even from the comfort of my own home, has brought me to tears. The men and women who have, and continue to, sacrifice their lives for us are too often forgotten. I simply wish that everyone who lives under our flag, and who is guarded by our military knew the sacrifices necessary to keep them, and their nation, safe. God bless. And thank you.
I thank God every day, for letting me live in the amazing country, I'm going to join the Air Force. I'm following my family's tradition of Joining the Military. I've had family members in the Air Force and Army. My brother is currently serving in the Army, he's served in Afghanistan, my cousin is in the Air Force, and my other cousins are planning on joining the Air Force. Thank you to everyone who served and/ or serving our country right now!
@FcK2420 Were all Humans capable of logic, understanding, respect, dignity and honor. Its those who choose not to embrace these qualities that are the problem. We are the those who choose to fight for those who deserve a chance. Regardless of our leader at the time. I am proud to be an American. I am the type of Human who does not judge an entire country based on the way I take one persons comment. I hope we all have fruitful lives filled with joy and love. Peace
my uncle is buried at arrlington. he was a silver star receipt in ww2. i will go down there in 2011 and pay my respect why 2011 beacuse in the summer of 2011 i will be going to basic New York National Guard. R.I.P uncle Leonard HOOAH

America is world policeman.I dont hate USA,I dont hate anybody.The true is this,U go to fight in another country and now u crying on Arlington.
Why??? Why u sent ur army to fight on another country.Nouns come in US territory with army and tanks or f16.U said-al qaida come and u said about 11.07.
Alqaid is not country,they are group of terrorists.
Do Serbians do anything except put their hands out for help? We rescued you from the Nazis in WWII and we were asked to save you from killing yourselves more recently. Unfortunately we often find ourselves in the role of being asked for help by other countries. People from many less "successful" countries like to hate us because we have somethings that they don't have (freedom, a democratic government and individual wealth). You're right it's time we left you alone to kill each other. Thanks.
Point blank, the world doesn't know how good they have it. They've disrespected us for years. They've spat on our kindness, generosity, blood, and sacrifice long enough; though they'll gladly accept our money. We should go back to our old isolationist policies; withdraw all troops, and aid worldwide. Use the troops to guard our borders, and the aid to help ourselves. Let China, Russia, Iran, and N. Korea be the world police. I'm sure that will make the foreigners happy. :) Then they'll shut up.
@mercyandvengeance you ever wondered why we hate you??? actually we dont hate you. we disliked bush and his policies. you think the world hates america. haha lol. we all eat mcdonalds watch mtv watch friends and simpsons LOL!. Stupid comments like yours make us hate you. The fact you feel superior makes us hate you. Your ignorance about the world makes us hate you. The fact that an american thinks that america is the best flawless country in the world in every aspect makes us hate you.
@FcK2420 You can stop hating us now. Bush is gone and Obama is now the President. More than anything else the rest of the world would like our freedom, independence and opportunities to be whatever we want to be. Thanks for your interest.
@HerBunk yea the freedom independence and opportunities no other countries have. Again american ignorance. Im guessing you know democracy equals freedom. Search under democracy index. You're 18th!!!!! 17 countries have better working democracies than yours! kina hurts your american pride doesnt it. search for index of economic freedom. You're eighth!! It get's better check freedom of press index. You're 20th! Deluded american! get a break your not freer than so many other countries.
@FcK2420 My pride is hurt. Denmark is such a utopia that millions are over-running your borders trying to get in... Americans are used to jealousy. We are tired of being put down. It's tough being the savior of the world. We saved your sorey butts from the Germans in WWI and we saved you from the Nazis in WWII. Leave us the Hell alone and do us a favor and stay where you are and don't ask us to bail you out when the economy of Europe fails. Thanks for your interest.
@FcK2420 Lol, yeah we are freer. Show me one nation that guarantees its citizens the rights we do in our Constitution, and maybe I'll begin to listen. You're such a clown.
Let me try and understand what you are saying? We are not the World's policeman, we are the world's liberator! We have given more people in the world "FREEDOM" than any other nation. We did not ask to be attacked, but once attacked we will strike with the power of the most powerful nation in the world. We had to keep the Serbs and Croats from exterminating each other because you as a people cannot act like humans. We will exterminate Al-Qaida. You have the right to speak today because of US!
@MarkoTimokRiver it does seem like America is the world police but you have to keep in mind that the US has a duty to protect it's people and allies (we r also part of the UN which means that we SHOULD be helping countries in need of support). And most people in the US will never come close to knowing what is REALLY happening in the world and what REAL dangers there are. Unless you are the person directing the war or participating in it, you cant say wether it is just or not.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
America is not in war.You sent your army around the world to fight for nothing.I see on one grave "Iraqi freedom" Why you go to fight for Iraq and why u waste your soldgers lives?
Nobody come to US border or ground to fight with US.There is no U fight U can only die there,U cant change anything.
No one comes to the US ground to fight? Tell that to the Taliban, Al-Queda, and every other terrorist organization involved in the attacks on September 11, 2001. Please respect the fact that we arn't perfect, but we are trying to abolish terrorism from these countries and prevent further attacks by these radicals. Thank you Soilders, you are the American heroes besides our law enforcement and Emergency services.
Thank you again. I wasn't a Devil Dog but, was in the US Navy. Submarines. Thank you Lance Corporal Bradley. Means a "MINT" to an aging vet. God Bless all who've risen to the challenge and performed it. Pay wan't great but, it was SO above that.
Don't know you, but you're no where near useless. Because you took a stand for our country, you have been blessed to be alive to tell your story and the story of those who didn't survive. You're just as important.
Many people forget the true meaning of Memorial Day. This video stands out as a pure example of someone who really cares about those who served, especially those who never came back.
I can't stop crying after seeing this video. I cry for the proud and brave veteran who gave all for this country, I cry for the families and I cry for the future of this country under God. God Please Bless America. Again!
I've arranged my senior trip this year for Arlington and the surrounding patriotic attractions. I'm very excited as my dad's going to take me to visit my grandfather's grave. God bless the American heroes.
A cousin and my two best friends are buried at Arlington. In all I've attended six funerals at Arlington. And though it becomes harder and harder to walk through its gates, I am comforted by the fact that they lie in peace and honor with their fallen comrades of past and future, and I'm sure, eventually myself. For the Gates of Heaven are guarded by United States Marines. Semper Fi Devil Dogs
My brother died in Iraq and is buried in section 60 at Arlington National Cemetery. I know the families interviewed in this video - these moms here have given me hugs when I needed them. Section 60 is a very special place for our families - it's a place to connect with each other and with the people we've lost.
Thank you for this video. The servicemen there have given us our freedom at the highest cost. While we cannot adequately repay them for what they have done let us never forget them.
may any man sorrow for a person who gave so much. for a true hero to carry on, after such a difficult sorrow. may you rest with your many heros that lay amoung you in your final resting place. we only remember your spirit and happiness and forgive those who fought against us only too feel the sorrow the same. may god be with us all.
Proud US Army Soldier, If I were to die defending this land I would be honored to be placed here to rest... May GOD be with all the families of these fallen HEROS...
i am also a soldier and i agree with u in fact i'm not afraid to admit that i wouldn't mind being buried at any us military cemetery europe or us the 2 i want most are arlington and the nomandy one but if possible lorraine cemetery in france near my friends and family in germany
Nice video. Very touching. I went to Arlington in '02 or '03. Very sad. I managed to trip over the enternal flame. RIP to all those who served and those who still are serving. RIP to you, John and your family, Jacqueline, Patrick, Arebella, Bobby, and all your family, God bless.
I was at that concert and I met every famous person that was there and they gave me a hug. I am Bonnie Hunts friend too:) I also got into the capitol.I WAS AWSOME!!!!!
we were there. if you see a black girl and a blond girl with like 4837543875 flags in their hair, that's us. Morning the loss of every person in that cemetery. God Bless.
Now is the time to remember, to realize, that those who die in support of their nation, either, soldier, enemy or victim, do so with the express intent of securing peace for all nations, and it is this effort that the living hold the soul responsibility to actively achieve, through the strength, unity and peaceful change offered by the dawn of this precious tomorrow so costly secured . . .
Maybe they'll find peace in the next life. Our politicians wouldn't let them have it in this one.

Here's the formula - more dead soldiers (tools) = more profits for the corporate interests investing in war!!
So all you tools just keep firing those bullets and missiles. Uncle Sam will be happy to send your family and friends
a hugely inflated bill for the costs! And they can pay for the funeral when your dead ass comes home in a casket!
FYI- No matter what they tell ya-the US has no plans to end the war-NONE! They're counting on a lot more of you
