I am a U.S. Marine. I've never seen combat. When folks ask me if I ever have seen combat I always respond, "unfortunately I was fortunate."
This is an excellent video. These young men and women did not hide, did not run, and did not shrink but courageously answered the call to serve willingly.
Which one are you? It looks it might have been a rather cold day. I am thankful for your service and I pray if you and your comrades are safe and well. Take care.
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.
Excellent choice of music, excellent photo montage, and excellent message...I am proud to know you through your video, and proud of our troops everywhere, every day....
I don't know where she got it from. Somewhere on the internet, I suppose. She is now in the Navy and harder to contact. I will ask when I talk to her again. Thanks for commenting.
Let us all hope she makes a career of the Navy, as I did for 24 years. Always to the scene when things kick up, and normally the last to leave. With a son and daughter-in-law in Iraq at the same time, its been a wild ride, with both returning home with only the boy getting the worse of it. God bless your daughter and my prayers are with her and all who serve our country, thru good and bad.
Thank you for your comments. They are much appreciated. This young lady is my daughter. She made this tribute just after she graduated high school about five years ago or so. She never shared it. She gave me permission to do so recently. This young lady, of whom I am very proud of, is now in the Navy, and at 24 is seriously thinking about making it a career. She is an honor graduate, and one hell of a good addition to the U.S. Navy!! Thank you again.
My grandfather was a Navy man, retiring after 45 years...from Seaman Recruit to full Captain in the Medical Service Corps, as was my uncle, a Commander in the same unit. My father served, I served...but my deepest respect go to those who didn't come home. My respects also to you, young lady, who exemplifies the word "patriot". God bless you, and those who serve with you.
This is an outstanding video. I was in Iraq under the 4th Infantry Division in 2003. Some of the unit patches that you see in this video, 101st Airborne, 173rd Airborne BDE, 1st Armored Division, 1st Infantry Division, I've had the distinct honor to serve among these Commerades in Arms during that time.
Thank you, young lady, for the moving tribute to our brave troops. This is one of the most stirring hymns I've ever heard. It brings tears each time I hear it.
Thank you

U just made me cry. This is so moving. It's just makes one think about all the mothers, fathers, sons, daughters who have lost their loved ones.
