my step-dad didnt make it surving in the navy... this makes me cry becuz he was suppose to come home this year during our veterians day assembly I had to sing "When are you coming home" and behind me they showed pictures of my step-dad... Even tho he isn't my real dad... he became like a real father to me
when i came home i went into my daughters classroom....she was supposed to be the big sr. in high school who never cried....she was crying so hard when she seen me (back in 2003) im still at home now and will never be goin back because i lost my right leg saving a little iraqi girl from a grenade
I enlisted in the navy right after high school in 1977 and served four years. Got out because my term was done but I never felt I did enough. When the first gulf war came around I tried to re-enlist but I was overweight and it was over before I could lose that weight. Now I am too old. I have always felt ashamed that I, a single man with no family, should lived when so many men with families have died.
Words can never be enough to express how grateful I am for the men and women that serve in the military. It's because of them that we have the freedoms we have to be able to go to college and get an education without having to live in fear. Lord watch over these people.
This made me cry!:( my dad was in the navy a few years ago from the year I was born till the year I turned five. He missed my first steps, my first words, and my second, third, and fourth birthdays. I have been praying for everyone out there who has a family member serving across seas. Stay strong!
I really love to watch these videos when I'm down. It makes whatever problems I'm feeling seem so small. Not to mention lift my spirits with the knowledge that God has chosen to bless these brave men =)
omg i feel so bad for all those ppl who are out in the war for all the sacrafices they made for theyre country god bless all the slodiers and we pray for them. btw i cried
It dosent matter what country your from, US, Canada,Britian or anywhere, if this dosent atleast put a tear in your eyes, then something is wrong with you.
thank you for fighitng our country. i have soo much respect for you. my entire family is or has been in the service[well the men atleast]. God bless you and your family!
thanks for all of the POSITIVE comments for once. i came home recently and i am going back unfortunately and appreciate some ppl with pride and sense and not hateful comments towards the US military forces. god bless and thank you so much for all of the support!
Wow...that was a great homecoming. And it was also a great surprise because I grew up in Hampshire and I was in the last class to graduate in that gymnasium...class of 77. Thanks for sharing.
i suddenly realize how little i know about what's going on in the world. these kids in these videos knows a lot more than i do and that makes me feel sad, they shouldn't have to know. i guess they are very very proud of their fathers and they should be. i wish everyone could come home alive to their families, everywhere in the world.
every teenage boy in that gymnasium would like to be like him at that moment. another AMERICAN HERO who has sacrificed for the sake of those children and his family! GOD BLESS THIS MAN!
to be this man in this moment is to be the tallest man in the world. god bless you for all that you have done and for those that dont have life left in them know that americas prayers and hearts are with you for ever
Interesting... I agree with bring them all home now. What about giving them FREE health care (improving military hospitals, providing free mental health treatment) for themselves instead of not paying income tax? Peace.
