Thank You "tferguson567" for honoring Jeremia Denton,he served his country proudly.He didn't stop serving when he returned home! To this very day he still serves!In 1980 he became the first Republican ever elected by popular vote to the U S. Senate from Alabama, the first resident of Mobile elected to the U.S. Senate, the first retired military officer and the first Catholic elected to any statewide office in Alabama,
I also first heard this son at parris island.After a long hard first week I finally got a break we we went to chapel.After being so intense for a week it was such a relief to be able to relax and worship Jesus.God bless the Chaplains and the USMC Oo-RA!
As a retired serviceman and Marine father I say to each of you Semper Fi. Hearing my former commander and Chief Reagan brought back memories and pride that I have not lost. Thank each of you who serves this great nation.
my very last sunday on Parris Island, we sang this in chapel, our arms across each other holding up our Eagle, Globe, and Anchors, it was such moving moment. it really put our newly accepted responsibilty as Marines into perspective. No one who hasn't been through Marine Corps Recruit training can understand. Years of hearitage and tradition are summed up in that one symbol of the Eagle, Globe and Anchor
i wish i could join the army but my disorder dos'nt accept me so only i can pray and support our troops god bless america! and to all you troops THANK YOU for fighting for my freedom
The first time I heard this song was at the Recruit Chapel in church on a Sunday in Boot Camp on Parris Island...and the entire place sang it together...and we screamed "Oohrah!" in the middle of the chorus..shit it brings back memories...I love this song.
The first time I heard this song, I was at Lt. Shane Osborn's homecoming celebration after the China Spy Plane incident in 2001. Every time I hear it now, I get chills all over. I am so grateful to all Americans, past, present, and future who give their lives for my freedom! THANK YOU!!!
This is a great video, my husband is serving his second tour in Iraq and just seeing the flag brings tears to my eyes. These men and women DON'T get the respect they deserve.
First off, I love this video, I love the tribute you're giving to such wonderful people. Two, I am truly happy to see Bush being honored, especially with all the heat he's getting now, and third and foremost I thank your son for answering the call. God Bless you, your son, and America!!
God Bless The USA and all the people in the MIlitary

Jeremiah A. Denton Jr. wrote a book, called... When Hell was in Session. I suggest you all read it. It's about his struggle while he was a POW.
This is a great vid.

3,500 Americans have now given their lives and the gift of freedom to 38 million Iraq citizens.
Freedom is not free. Never has been, never will be.

The USA is truely a great country in maney ways. And every American I have talked to , I have come to like.
I am very grateful that Norway and USA are allied.
I really would like it better if Europe and the USA were even more united. Under the UN foreksample. But , well well.
If I were not an atheist I think I at this point would say God bless America. You know what I`m meaning.
Longe live your freedom-loving country!
