RIP sgt. nathan kennedy on of my mentors and best friends since i was in 1st grade and been together 12 years of wrestling to the captain of the team i love u man i know u in heaven and watchin over me till the day we meet again ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
These young men and women enlisted to keep our country free. I thank them for the ultimate price they have paid to keep my family and every free person living here in the USA. Do You Not remember 911 and the terror that day on our own soil. And our forefathers that fought to keep this land free. You should be thanking these soldiers for the freedom of speach that Could be taken from you if they weren't doing their job. Thank You Servicemen and Women. We have your backs!
It does not matter what any American thinks soldiers go to fight along side each other, we do what we do because its what we are meant to do, its what we are born to do and its what WE CHOOSE TO DO!
what can i say???????? i am almost speechless she said that needed to be told!!!!!!!!!!! but yet it still goes on to this day gone by not forgoten ever xoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxooxoxox
@Colossusthefallen I thank you for what you are doing. I cherish my freedom in the USA and it is because of our forefathers and men and women like yourself that we can remain free. I have a nephew in AF and send him care packages. If there is anything you would like sent or maybe someone in your platoon that has no family over here, I would be glad to send it. It is the least I can do for the courage and bravery you are showing. Ramona myakita2005@yahoo.com
i am soldier i don't agree with your opinion everyone is entitled to one but let me tell you when we signed up we all new what we were doing we knew the risks we were taking that's all have a good one
Yes for all But im still going in my best friend was killed in iraq in 2007.you may have good words but try not beng like by your family and trying to go in to make your mom and dad proud of you well at the same time haveing to go to the graves of best freinds on vetreans day and just thinking no more than 3 years ago we were at a party drinking and the next your friend is comeing home in a box.Yah it sucks but grow some balls and cow bow up.Semper Fi Freedomes not Free!!!
I am currently deployed to Iraq. I have lost a few friends over here. Just last week a friend of mine was blown up and sent home. Thank goodness he is still alive. I pray for all of us soldiers that we may all return home safe and sound to see our families.
I am a former soldier that has been the that big sand box twice. and i know that when i came home i was looked at by some a hero and by others a monsters. but not matter what civilans may say i push it aside cuz the only words i care to listen to arm my brothers in arms. hold the line brothers and see u soon.
Yes i have heard this. I lost a brother. I was beside him while his head was shot off because i missed the fucking shot on a kid not older then 15! this war is not for oil. i never seen a drop of oil over there! i heard more taps then you will ever dream of! i have lost more then 3/4 of my company.
re-think. you join the military and you find out.
im fighting for you to ditch us like this. to ditch our gov. remember that..
my posting that was removed by youtube was not negative towards our WONDERFUL soldiers! I have been in a family of soldiers of all branches and i am engaged to a current soldier! this video is of a liberal tree hugging hippie that is wanting attention! If she wanted to raise up the spirit of her family member than you would not mock what he died for! your freedom!
She was depending on people like Pelosi to hold Bush accountable for sending her son to die IN A WAR BASED ON LIES. Nancy Pelosi turned around and further victimized us by removing that option from the table. Cindy Sheehan was not about to let Pelosi get away with this so she decided to run against her and take her seat away. What will it take for you as a nation to step up like Ms Sheehan and stop playing the victim to fight back? WE CAN'T SEND SOLDIERS TO DIE FOR LIES!
Who ever said that the oil companies that profit in Iraq ever intended to pass along the savings to us, Einstein? You really need to develop some critical thinking skills.
The vast majority of people worldwide have yet to be convinced that the reasons for going to war have been justified and the price that soldiers and families have paid can sometimes not make sense. For me there is probably no better forum to discuss these issues but, no matter what the reason, one cannot argue the bravery, loyalty and efforts of these men and women.
The words spoken in this video certainly resonate with many and should not be ignored!!
Bottom line is that reasons for going to war can be argued from one end of the planet to the other, it is one of the biggest political football on the planet just now.
The Iraq war was based on nothing but lies. And it is so tragic that the very men who we call upon to protect our nation had to die in a war that does not justify their deaths. We as a nation failed big time. Our nation elected a madman for president, not once, but twice. And we did not raise our voices high enough against the war he waged in which so many American families have lost someone they loved, and all for what? LIES.
Justsomeboi, where are these weapons we went in looking for? Are they still looking or them? Maybe they're in the sand buried deep somewhere? GET REAL. There where never an weapons.
First, we went in with the pretense that Saddam had something to do with 9/11 although the 9/11 commission cleared Saddam and Iraq of any participation. Then, it was these imaginery weapons. When that FAILED, oh we went in to "liberate" the Iraqi people. What's the reason now that we're still there and our troops still dying?
$600 billion and 5 years later, Iraq is still under military occupation and martial law. The mission has failed miserably! Maybe we just need to throw away another trillion dollars over the next decade. Oh, that's right. The U.S. is $10 trillion in debt and near bankruptcy! Meanwhile, oil prices have quadrupled making terrorist and oil-rich nations like Iran rich. At least all of Bush's oil buddies in Texas got a piece. You're just worm food to Bush and a burden on the U.S. taxpayer.
This was as beautiful and as moving as ANYTHING I've seen on youtube. I couldn't stop crying. I would like to extend to the Sheehan family, and ALL OF THE FAMILIES that have suffered a loss, my deepest sympathies. Maybe if some the CRIMINALS in our congress had suffered the same kind of loss and grief, they wouldn't be so quick to enter wars. Someday, maybe, we will grow up as members of a planet, and stop fighting these disgusting wars. And to 44Monterey- you said it right!!!
hey im a soldier and they died for each other
