Really...14 dislikes?!?!?! Who are you people? How is this video worthy of anything but your "Dislike?" I give up on humanity, at least those 14 unpatriotic, ungrateful people.
I read about an amazing event in the early part of the Gulf War. Out troops needed a supply of water, went looking for one, and in the middle of nowhere found a water spigot coming out of the ground, with enough water for them all. God does indeed do amazing things.
There are several more stories like this, out in the world. Connections, and life long friendships made when total strangers cross paths in a war torn world of the 1940s. One doing the fighting, and the other giving their all, back home, in support of him... or her.
Thank you so very much Mr. Sinise, for this touching tribute and gift to that sailor.
Thank you for such a great tribute from Gary Sinise and that very special WWII Vet, Elgin Staples (I hope I spelled your name correctly). My Dad served in WWII, also, so this touched my heart even deeper. "Veteranoftheyear," thank you for sharing this wonderful story. (Chase)
@habib8476 I don't know what Raphael said to tick you off, because I don't see any comments signed "Raphael" in the comment thread, but I can tell you that this patriotic liberal veteran (USN) takes exception to your characterization. After all, just because you're a Rightie doesn't entitle me to class you with people like MrStrongarms or fligemon, whose vile, bigoted, unAmerican comments are seen below.
I believe that more of us wether it be actors or just blue color workers take a few minutes and THANK GOD for what we have today. If it weren't for their sacrifice, WHERE THE HELL WOULD WE BE. WOULD WE STILL BE SPEAKING ENGLISH. We must all keep in mind that we are still at war. It never ends, now Iran wants a piece of us. If we must, drop a few nucs on the bastards. Maybe we might learn a lesson, close our borders, send back all the illegal aliens and replace everyone in Congress.
You lament the fact that war never ends but you urge the government to drop nuclear bombs on a country that didn't do anything to you. Where's the logic in that? What makes your life special compared to others?
Thank you for posting this video, I greatly admire Mr. Sinise. Not only due to his career, but his efforts for the Vets, those in the Service, their families.
great and loving story... It reminds me that no matter how close or how far away. The love from a mother has no bounds, and no distance is to far. Mom, I love you....
My only regret is that I was not in the South Pacific in 1944 instead of 1954. Although I have medals I have never been fully tested. Having 500 kamikazi planes attacking the fleet all at once certainly allowed them to prove their mettle. My small part during Korea and China service was nothing compared to theirs at Guatacanal. Those of you who spoke against the soldiers in Afganistan should be ashamed of yourselves. If you never served - Shut Up.
By the way Love the video really touches the heart. My son is fighting on the front lines in Afganistan he is in the infantry. Two weeks ago or so his unit was ambushed by taliban insurgents and his freind that he went to high school with got his head removed while he was standing next to my son! Talk about losing sleep sometimes I just break down and cry I did not want him to enlist but it's his life he has to do what he has to do...It's killing me tho
Those who Bless the Jews will be Blessed themselves...Those who Curse the Jews will be Cursed themselves...Like it or not the Jews are Gods Chosen People Everything that has been done to detroy them after 1,000's of years and they are still here...They have always been the smallest race of people on the planet but they are still here after all the attempts on there lives attempts by the millions yet they remain....Come on think about it they are still here!!!! Sounds to me like its true.....
@MrStrongarms Jesus decried the moneychangers at the Temple....they were Jews. Stereotypes are never fun but in some cases are more accurate than not......
Brought tears to my eyes... Put yourself there out in the vast ocean and imagine what these men went through. Well done Gary, you are a class act. How many other amazing stories such as this are out there?
Gary is an American Hero...and don't think he doesnt pay a HUGE price for his American patriotism. The BIG WHEELS who run things in Hollywood are all Pinkos & though he is 10times the talent that some of the Favorites are, he gets far less work. Guys like Spielberg dont cotton to American Patriots. "Bosom Buddies" like Tom Hanks knew how to go from MINUS D list to A list..Kiss he asses of the Pinkos. It has served him and other, now big deal actors very well. what a shame. Sean Penn, you stink.
If u can get past yr ignorance* & the lies the corporate media's sold u, & do a bit of research, u'll find it's the Publican pol's (that u probably support) who r mostly 2 blame 4 the massive influx of undocumenteds u decry.
They've played u 4 a fool.
*"ignorance," lack of knowledge, is fixable; "stupidity" isn't. As u wrote "undocumented" (not "illegal" as many would) it's possible u r not stupid. I hope not, 4 all our sakes.
@smartalek180 and @kragskov54 Publicans, Dems, all career politicians are in bed with the Heebronskis to use the "undocumented". Dems see them as career voters like Blacks, Gays and Greenies. Corporate Criminals do indeed support the supply of cheap and illegal labor so they can increase the profit margin.
The love of a mother reaches forever.
