Memorial Day Tribute

[orbital397]

@JAKECAPNESUFACE don't hate on the soldiers because you don't like the wars, they don't chose the place and time where they will fight, The leaders you voted into office made that choice for them. The people that volunteer for the military do an ugly job that your too weak or cowardly to do yourself.

[JAKECAPONESUFACE]

All wars since korea have not been about freedom. Yes we need soldiers, for defense not so that they can idiotically go kill themselves so to speak. All soldiers are basically stupid brutes that are ethier ignorant tools, patriotic idiots or need money.

[xxclarky661xx]

@JAKECAPONESUFACE what the fuck is wrong with you you stupid son of a bitch

[JAKECAPONESUFACE]

@xxclarky661xx stating the truth your to blind to see

[xxclarky661xx]

@JAKECAPONESUFACE umm no not really how would u like to go to another country for years and fight to make the world a better place

[JAKECAPONESUFACE]

@xxclarky661xx hahahaha They are the ones who signed up so thats on them. Its not like they are being drafted. Also America likes to think its the international police we need to just mind our own shit for awhile.

[xxclarky661xx]

@JAKECAPONESUFACE but we have allies and if they get in a war we have to join them and help them fight

[jplambert92]

2 miserable maggots don't like being free and hate our military...... i say we give them what we gave Osama! like if u feel the same way!

[jplambert92]

2 miserable maggots don't like being free and hate our military...... i say we give them what we gave Osama

[YellowstoneWolfLover]

[Skytrooper82d]

R.I.P. My fallen Airborne Brothers...and all other military KIA...

82nd Airborne...Airborne ATW..!

[MrInstrumentalist]

Very nice

[whoareyou2012ness]

Should that not have said; "Lest we forget their sacrifice"?

Great video though.

[MOJONIXION]

Two Dislikes from the Taliban.

[1sXo3]

God Bless America!!!!!!!! I was born American and American I will die... Marines Oorah!!!

[kreager123]

Outstanding



[ChaNo1908]

And they said Superman and Batban are super heroes lol They dont know the meaning of heroes till they meet these great american soldiers

[ChaNo1908]

Thank god for all these brave men !!! i love freedom!!!! thats why i am proud to say i am Mexican American!!

[evilcween]

Thank you for remembering all of our military history, both past and present. We started fighting for our freedom over 200 years ago, when our nation was formed.

Staying free is an ongoing battle.

[ravenrainess]

WOW!!!!! This video brought tears to my eyes!! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!!

[gunvor69]

God bless all American troops! Proud to be a son of a Naval Officer!

Hope to serve this country in a couple years too!

[buddafly2]

All I can say is......Bravo!

[luckymouse1971]

Thank You for posting this. This has to be by far the best Memorial Day Tribute video I have ever seen. I am a Desert Storm Vet. It was very hard to try and hold back the tears.

[Vikesfan930]

Beautiful video my friend, simply stunning. I couldn't help but cry.

[sokujd]

This is a wonderful video! :)

[nodlon20]

Beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this. Our freedom isn't free. But I hope the day will come when all mankind will gather and there will be no more war or sorrow. This day WILL come but in the meantime we must stand guard at the door of freedom, it is on shaky ground now as I write this. Please pray for our dear country. "Give me liberty or give me death!"--Patrick Henry

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

NEVER TAKE OUR "FREEDOM" FOR GRANTED,THANK YOU ALL MILITARY OF THE U.S.A. "GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"!!!!!!!!

[blkknight049]

Such and amazing video. Thank you.



[h00kem713]

What song is this?

[CarmenWolfe]

Thank you to all the men and women fighting (:

[bb38wwjdnow]

This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you!

[msdupuis]

GREAT JOB! I'LL NEVER FORGET!

[okuiri1]

I bet you 10 to1 if you created (which no White person would do) a Memorial Day Tribute video showing nothing but Black men and women in action with maybe just one White person in the video you would read totally different responses. Anyway, I will put on my uniform like I do every year and participate in the local parade keeping in mind that many Blacks that died without recognition (awards given 40 or 50 yrs later to family members) will always be in my thoughts and prayers!

[okuiri1]

My posting was not intended to cause a fight and forget those who have sacrificed their lives for this country, but if you watch many of the videos on here all you see is White patriots! Maybe "you can't handle the truth" !

[Labtechbaby]

@okuiri1 I salute you! Thank you, you must be so proud of wearing your uniform and serving your country that you so humbled me. But why do you have to shame me by asking "Did you?" Being a woman and young then I did not, but my big brother Napoleon served in the Vietnam War, suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder, sad to say. God bless America!

[brc028]

this is a well done tribute nice job

[okuiri1]

The next time you put together your fancy video, think about all the Native Americans, Blacks, Hispanics, etc, that died for this country. That's the problem with White Ameicans, they tend to think that they did it all by themselves. You fail to recognize that you had help! You make a thorough search next time and you will find pitures of Black soldiers in action, what about the Buffalo Solidiers, The Tuskegee Airman, did you ever hear of them ?!!

[Labtechbaby]

@okuiri1 Do you just have to be bitter and hateful this Memorial Day? It says in the dedication, "Dedicated to all the military; Past, Present and Future. A "little" (parenthesize by me) tribute I created for Memorial Day. I'm quite sure the maker of this video would have included those American braves and black patriots you mentioned if their photos were available. My thoughts and prayers to those soldiers who died and to their families with deep sense of loss this Memorial Day weekend 2011.

[okuiri1]

@Labtechbaby It has nothing to do with being bitter and hateful, like I said I served this country for over 26 yrs! Did you? I'm telling it how I and many other people of color see it. As far as finding photos, don't be silly, in this day and age, have you heard of GOOGLE?! Go on there now and type in Buffalo Soldier, you probably never even did any research on them.

[okuiri1]

Yeah, sure, nice video. But where are all the Black people! I saw one Black face, and he was in formation with the Color Guard. Memorial Day means that we must recognize ALL Military personnel who sacrificed and died for this country! I served my country for 26 yrs, I served during Vietnam 73-77, then from 87-2007. I was part of the Gulf War, Enduring Freedom & Iraqi Freedm! I thank God that I am still here to talk about it, but MANY Black people died in these wars. 

[jerseygal1013]

thank you for this video...it's wonderful and much appreciated.

[nyteschade]

this is very nice. you left off the American Indian Wars and at the end i would think - Remember Memorial Day - would be a better ending

[sal1701]

What an awesome video....and then they had to FK it up by putting "HAPPY' Memorial Day at the end... Why do people love putting the word 'Happy" in there ???? Why dont you look at the video again..especially the parts of the coffins with the american flags draped over them, or the Thousands of headstones at the cementary..and tell me whats happy about that...

[stormsmomq]

Amazing video!!! Thank you isnt enough :)

[Vetwolf13]

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

tools dyin so don't dissapoint!

[Auggie56]

@Vetwolf13 Take a pill will you, this day is about the men and women to protect us, not about your dreamed up hate for the US.

[excursustoo]

Thank you.

[appazknarf1]

never forgotten! salute!,

[tmmonty9977]

So very touching. Again I am reminded of all those who have sacrificed and those who choose to do the same by enlisting. God bless them and their loved ones. Thank you, sir, for creating a heart-felt tribute.

[sleepytimegalz]

Mr. Jim Nagel87, You have done a Beautiful tribute here. I am crying like a baby!! God bless you Sir!! You have an awesome heart to be able to put this together as you did...thank you!! phyllis

[dbennett1974]

Awesome!!!!!! This video should be a mandatory video played in every class room across America on the friday before memorial. It should be played in every office board room, factory, jail.......EVERYWHERE!

[dbennett1974]

Awesome!!!!!!

[ronman6]

Holy smokes....very well done sir, very well done. Thank you for making and posting this.

[phillsphan99]

Why would you dislike a video like this? If you disliked it just to be the first dislike, go to hell.

[migsnickwah]

Well done. It has been done with much less care by countless others. Timing of photos, selection of photos and music, all perfectly put together. Thank you for honoring our heroes and heroines. It is so important to remember them all!

[F4FWildcat]

I might add if I may, the pilot pictured was none other than:

Lt. Col. Francis S. "Gabby" Gabreski. Gabby shot down 28 Germans before he himself was shot down and captured. Gabby stayed in the Air Force and was credited with 6 and a half MiGs in the Korean war.

[ras5793]

Thank you for this excellent tribute..it was beautifully mastered. Thanks just does not seem to be an adequate expression for the sacrifice of those who risked all for other peoples freedom as well as our own...I proud to fly my American flag everyday for you all...

[pTanino]

What a beautiful tribute!! It's awesome... thank you.

[spartin001full]

what is the name of this song?

[Mayamagik]

Never forget its just propaganda for the military industrilal complex.. listen to Mr. Eisenhower - he knew what was really going on.

[Marge871]

Playing at church this weekend.  THANKS!

[RamonaFromPomona]

Beautiful work. GBU......

[sellersd7]

wow is a good word thanks for the awesome video

[dvdludlum]

thorougly impressed with the quality of this video. did you make this yourself?

[Irelandhasmyheart]

Beautiful! I love the saying "All gave some, some gave all."

At 4:36 is Guarnere and the other name isnt coming to me. They were in Easy Company.

[jlee9039]

This Video is Beautiful and The Greatest Video i Have ever seen. my grandfather served in he vietnam war and i am currently in iraq Serving in Iraqi Freedom. God Bless Him and The United States. May We ALways Triumph over Evil. HOOAH!! US ARMY

[Matthewrylee12]

As a U.S. Marine I greatly apreciate your video. Not many Americans realize why we get this day off. I hope Americans will always remember veterans and remember their sacrafices. Never forget the men and women who lay down thier lives for this great country.

[tattootheplanet09]

great video thanks Jim!

[susiefromomaha]

Thank you for this moving tribute to our brave, courageous men/women fighting for our freedom. God bless them, now fighting and those who've fought. Those who've given their lives for us to be here now. May we never forget!

[anthonydarrellivy]

Sadly, many who lacked the courage to serve...also lack tho integrity and honor to not run their mouths. If you are going to burn our flag...please wrap yourself in it 1st.

~Maverick

[ciosborn]

I will never forget that my freedom isn't free. 

[ptownsend09]

the video is embedded and not able to share on Facebook.... :(

[MickWhiskey]

Great video. A Much better uplifting message than all than all the sad bs people post on the subject. I am a Purple Heart recipient and saw my fair of action in OIF II, this is a better depiction of how people should remember sacrafice.

[Debbie8155]

This is the best Memorial Day video I have ever seen. I wanted to share it with my friends on Facebook, so others can see it, too, but the embedding is disabled. Please change this so that others might see this. It moves me to tears every time I watch it.

[JulieP31]

Jim you did a fantastic job with the video. Thank you so much.

[lmeisenberg]

Beautiful Memorial Day tribute. One of the best on YouTube. One correction, if I may... towards the end, we see the words "Lest we never forget their sacrifice." The word "lest" can be be literally translated to mean "for fear that." So, in this context, what we should read is "Lest we forget their sacrifice" or "May we never forget their sacrifice." Hope that makes sense. Thank you for paying tribute to our fallen soldiers.

[antso12]

AWESOME!!! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!!

[SparrowSixFive]

American Warriors have always stepped up to the plate for our freedoms and liberties and many have paid the ultimate sacrifices and some have survived to endure worse. HONOR THEM, RESPECT THEM, LOVE THEM & NEVER FORGET THEM! I salute you all! Hugs, Sparrow Six-Five!

[srichin1234]

nice video!! thanks

[Hector500nc]

This is one of the best Memorial Day Tributes I have ever seen. Thanks for putting this together and God Bless our Troops and these United States! Thank you!

[beeba77]

Beautiful, heartfelt and respectable job you did at compiling this video tribute in memory of all our men and women who perished in service to their country - AMERICA, The Good Ol' U.S. of A.!!!!

Thank You!!!

[dragonk64]

Thank you for this great video, people sometimes forget what Memorial Day is all about. They think its a 3 day weekend with BBQ's unfortunately. They forget it was the sacrifice that men and women have made in the armed forces to give us the freedom we have today. God bless everyone of them past and present.

[duanekuiper]

Semper Fidelis.

[rklundberg]

Wow . . . this blew me away! I have lots of military friends. Husband served in the Army. Thanks for this remembrance.

[Jenbutterfly]

Amazing video

Thank you to all the ones who have fought in the wars.

[mhsarge]

This is the day before Memorial Day 2009 and I am seeing this video for the first time. I am a combat vet and this has moved me more than you could ever know. Thanks go to the people that made this possible. There are not enough words to speak or write that could ever give the thanks to all our military that have been there for us and that going on being there.

"For those who fight for it life has a flavor the protected never know."

I salute you one and all.

[howiefbr]

the soldier,

above all others,prays for peace.

for it is the soldier who must suffer

and bear the deepest wounds and

scars of war

-Gen. Douglas Macarthur

thank you for such a breathtaking piece.

[fghnpoma]

All I can say is WOW.Thank you

[lastkiss44]

Thank you to all who have and continue to serve our country and to all our future men and women.

Awesome Video

[Spoon08]

is that a Nazi fighter pilot at 3:48?

[JimNagle87]

No, that would be how many Nazi's he downed good sir. Also, if I may play devils advocate here, just to make a general statement. Although we attribute the Nazi's as villains. Not all serving in the Germany Army were as such. They were doing their duty as well and some were not even aware of the atrocities being commited behind the scenes. There was heroism on both sides. Friend and enemy.

[434ggftr]

so true

[Irelandhasmyheart]

@JimNagle87 You make a true and good point. A veteran in Band of Brothers is interviewed and talks about how he may have been friends with a German soldier and how they were just trying to survive and do their job. Its really the SS and such that are the villains.

[dvdludlum]

@JimNagle87 agreed. They were good soldiers, only carrying out orders from above. now talk about the SS and such, that's a different scenario. "All Nazi's were german, not all germans were Nazi's"

[shiteetah]

@JimNagle87 No kind sir it is you who does not understand the duress and the the compliance it pressed upon Germans. My grandfather was an Uber Sturmbannfuhrer in the Adolf Hitler Leibstandarten and you sir, should read literature regarding the 101st police battalion involved in Poland. Or maybe research into how 94% of Germany sent it's children into Jugensturm Adolf Hitler or Jugendbund ... before Hitler-Jugend.Most of Germany knew something was horribly wrong, but duty meant more

[Auggie56]

@JimNagle87 Francis Gabreski or Gabby as he was known. P47 pilot who went on to fight in F86's in Korea.

[aa4285]

@JimNagle87 I agree with you sir. Not all members of the Nazi party were willing members. Just like members of the communist party, it was choice for a matter of survival at the time. Join us or die. Good example...Oscar Schindler.

[iwrk925]

This is truly a video of PATRIOTISM. GOD BLESS THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN AND MAY GOD SAFEGUARD THOSE WHO ARE STILL FIGHTING!!!!

[kevindavidson]

Its from the movie Rudy...

[v619]

amazing. truly amazing. it has me in tears.  wonderful. wow.

[jplumads]

This video is truly amazing! Thank you.

[Unkindsky]

What song is this? Is this orginal or is it from somewhere?

[dondonp12004]

It's Jerry Goldsmith's score to the 1993 fact-based motion picture "Rudy".

[hunterkiller3472]

AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!

[MontanaJake]

An amazing tribute video. Great job!

[ecil710]

beautiful video it made me cry

[bhsballer09]

Great video! This is one of the better tributes I've seen.
