This line says it best "Courage and valour was their code

And they would never back down:.

We have lost some brave men and women, but at the going down of the sun, we will remember them!

You Canucks always could ROCK YOUR ASSES OFF!  Semper Fidelis Mates!

[slowdancebarefoot]

Amazing video. It is sad to think that we tend to become complacent and moody with our heads hanging while filled with doubt about so many things...THEN to see something as this to remind us the we may be doubtful but stand strong with our shoulders and back strait, chin up and proud in honor of our troops and the fallen heroes as well. They are inspirational in so many ways. Thoughts and wishes to them and their families. For the unknown, many friends and my father Thomas R. Monroe

[jokergir1970]

AWESOME video

[tradams52]

Thank you for a great video -- you rock! Prayers to all of our troops out there! God Bless them and their families and friends! I plan to share this! Thanks again!

[KemmiiS]

My son was a Marine in the first wave of Iraqi Freedom and he formed a band while there. I THANK ALL that have/is/will serve. I have a video that will be released soon as the band releases their DVD as a tribute to the solders & families. My tribute is on the darker side, raw, graphic and what my heart felt like when my son was there and war effects everyone & how thankless the job is by so many. It is powerful and eye opening. Thank you for sharing this & God Bless you ALL PAST PRESENT&FUTURE
