My great-grandfather was a prisoner at Andersonville. He was captured after taking a sabre wound to his thigh. He was one of the luck ones who survived.
A cousin was one of Doolittle's Raiders, who was also lucky enough to survive.
My father and several uncles also served in the military during World War ll
We now have a grandson serving in the Marines.
We Thank Everyone of Them!
Gay, Lesbian or Straight doesn't really matter at all! They have served side by side
@Helotes420 Well, what I mean is that all the wars since WWII have been illegal and a sham. You could argue that even WWII was a bankers war, but think that would be over simplifying things.
The only solution to being tainted by the modern military is to get out of it. Plain and simple. Do I hope troops die? No. Especially for those who are doing it to get into college; I almost pity them. But throwing oneself into a meat grinder is never something that deserves its own holiday, as pitiable as it is.
I took a while searching for an appropriate video, and thanks to you, the time it took to find this one was well worth expressing my feelings on Facebook. Thanks. Beautiful and moving.
My family has served and died in the military for 100 years now, and I can say that while I am thankful for all that have served, I really feel sorry for all of those that have died in undeclared 'wars' in the past 50 or so years thinking that they were serving their country. The fact is, the global elite are using our children as tools of profit, and I will NEVER allow my children to think about the military because of all of this. Either declare war because we are really threatened or 4getit.
@Vetwolf13 I really hope you don't live in the US, because God knows you wouldn't have the balls to say that to someone serving.. Nor while paying respects to fallen soldiers. Notice I said "balls" rather then 'courage' because I can tell a person of your nature has neither..
@spfcever The German people in that time period during WWll believed in their rights and I support that. I also believe that NOT ALL Nazi-Germans can be held responsible for the mass-killings of opposite races of their own.
Another youtube video to watch is "General Peckham and Grand Duchess Charlotte." It's about the fallen Americans of the European Theater in World War II.

@Justprayfirst indeed the war and killing will stop one day when the evil will be called evil and will be set aside ,we are not designed to function in evil and ache so much sometimes
To all the troops I thank you from the bottom of my heart i to fought in a war Vietnam we miss you and hope for your safe return its time to come home enuff is enuff we need our troops home now!!!!!
God Bless our troops......those who have fallen and those who are fighting now. I love the men and women who served in the United States of America armed forces. I've lost a uncle in Vietnam and 2 great uncles in WW2 and my grandfather was wounded fighting the germans in WW2 and had to be on crutches the rest of his life.
from the men who fought for our independence to the men who fight now in the worlds greatest army i just want to say thank you. it is your dedication and your leadsership that gives me a comfotable feeling about our nations future. i love you guys and all americans who support the worlds greatest heros.
Lord if the people wish to be truly thankful, put thanks in their hearts EVERYDAY for those who gave everything they had including their life so they could enjoy the fruits of my labor for the duration of their life. Tell them to live their life for those who can no longer live theirs.
Make your life the best and most loving you can live everyday for friends, family and even strangers and they will not have died in vain. Respect the soldiers dying wish, Love each other!
God bless our troops. If you would like to see a powerful Memorial Day video see our page. Our youth do honor those that may be forgotten, and we will never forget the price they paid.
You must still be in your ignorant political party. Both party have done us wrong in so many things. You say i'm ignorant. when I have said about things mention above about what we cannot do. LETS CLOSE OUR BORDERS SO THOSE IRAQ CANNOT ENTER. I'M SUPRISE THEY HAVE NOT ENTER SO FAR. DON'T BE A STUPID FOOL!!
Hide under your Rock ! You can not live with Rattle Snakes ! So your the kind of person I have had to risk my behind for ! Please move to France and Finish your Surrender 101 class ! I believe in Killing Snakes no matter where they live !
I love this country, I beleive we must protect our laws, our constitution, our liberty for us to enjoy our freedoms. This country cannot protect it's borders, cannot win its wars, cannot manufacture its own goods, cannot balance it's budgets.cannot inforce it's immigration laws We Americans will lose this country before long. Why fight for a country abroad when this country is losing it's way.
The reason we fight for this country, is because this country has freedoms that no other country has. Because this country has not had an internal war in how many years. Imagine if we had Iraq at our doorsteps. The shooting, murders, suicide bombings, deaths. The reason why we fight with this country abroad is because we are a free nation that has many more rights than any other native country. Maybe you should join the military and then rethink this.
I'm the son of a Recon Marine and Son of a desert strom vet. Grandson of a WW2 hero boyfriend to a soldier fighting In Iraq and cousin to a soldier also fighting in Iraq......I thank every single person who is in the military i owe all of you Military is my heritage and Next year I'll join the Marines Semper Fidelis to America and to the Marine Corps oorah
I'm 15 now, I promise THEM i will train so fucking and then I go to join the Dutch Marine Corps or the Dutch Commando's to revenge them , but not only for that, I will help to put an end to the Taliban and all those fucking terrorists! I promise you America, I will do my best and I hope that one day I will be proud on my self...
How many colleges do you think there would be if no young men ever joined the Marine Corps? Besides just because he does one doesn't mean he can't do the other.
It's true, he can do both. And I am not criticizing military service in any way, it is just that vowing to seek revenge may make for a big disappointment, or at least unreasonable expectations.
i love the video and nice quotes to i liked it because dad was in the army my brother is in the army my mom was in the army my grandpa was in the army both of them and my uncle was in world war 2 he is my great great uncle.
My patriotism is for the Kingdom of God, the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the martyrs who died peacefully for that kingdom such as Peter, Paul, Stephen, and so many others who preached salvation through faith in Christ.
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Glory be to the God of Israel and to his Son Lord Jesus.
Hi, It actually does take heros to send men into battle. My brother is in Iraq for his 4th tour. Most of my family have been soldiers. From Rough Riders with Teddy Roosevelt, to WWII, Vietnam, you name it. It takes HEROS on the battle field and it takes HEROS to send them in. It takes a HERO to realize that evil has to be stopped. No matter what others think. If my neibors were being raped and murdered, I would call the police. If the police were killed stopping them? HONOR- TROOPS & LEADERS
@glorycuts232 Same as mine. I had a grandfather and two uncles in World War II. I also had an ujcle in Korea, and a cousin in Iraq in 2003. Believe or not, I'm related to William McKinley, who fought in the Civil War. Luckily, they survived. Today, I salute the many brave souls whot lost their lives, and their sacrifice.
I will never be able to repay you soldiers for what you have done for me and this country past and present. Thanks to you i can raise my children in a free America. YOU are truly what makes this the greatest nation in the world. I will never forget you!
Today is the day...To my Grandfather, my Dad, my Uncles, my Brothers, my friends...and to anyone else that has ever put their lives in harms way to protect this wonderful country of ours...THANK YOU!! You'll always be remembered for what you did! And...to the present and future soldiers...God bless and be with you all. Always...
Thank you to every soldier sailor, airmen and marine past and present. I pray that no one will ever take your sacrifices for granted. You are truly one of the things that makes America, America. God Bless.
OK for those of you who dont believe in war and ur hating on the president and everyone else think of this. Those men and women didnt have to go out and fight, they did it because they cared for our freedom. It was their choice to go out their and fight for what they believe in. And even if you dont like war you should still remember the men and women who died for what they believe in-our freedom.
As long as there are men, there will be wars - don't forget the women who have served - God bless our troops in uniform, who have served, who are serving, who will serve - this daughter of/sister of/niece of/cousin of Veterans, as well as a Veteran, herself, will remember the sacrifices, made - by them and their families -
Thanks to all of our Vets in all wars. A special thanks to my dad - 4th Marines, WWII and PFC Bruce Teague - KIA Vietnam 5-16-68. PS - Stormbouy, YES, imagine that and if we did not have soldiers to defend us!
i could have sworn i answer this vid. well anyhow we shall neveer forget the sacrifice and valor of our sons and daughters in all the wars. thank yo humbly for this vid.
Remember Americans - Memorial Day is one to honor those who have given their lives for us to be free today. It is a shame that many companies use Memorial Day for sales. PLEASE BOYCOTT EVERY STORE/COMPANY THAT HAS A MEMORIAL DAY SALE. Memorial Day is for closing down and rememberance not for selling and making money on behalf of the dead. Wake Up America!
And to all our troops today...God bless each and every one of you. Words cannot express the gratitude that makes it possible to be here today, to celebrate with friends and family.
Love & Respect to all US Military, May God watch over you and keep you safe! To those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. There are no words deep enough. God Bless You!
I am a veteran, and I just want to say thanks for this video tribute. It was very well done. It is unfortunate that some have sought to try and bring politics into it. For a veteran it is not about all that, it's about our nation and our families. Men and Women gave their lives, not for political parties, for it did not matter in death wether they were Republican or Democrat, they all gave their lives for freedom. Let's just be grateful to them for their sacrifice.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You juxtapose images from WWII with images from Iraq. Are you saying that these two conflicts are similar? If so, that is injecting a political message into your appreciation of the troops. Tacky at best, if true. I hope this was unintentional. Also political is the beginning quote about bravery being required to go to war, but not to order men to war. I happen to agree with it, but it attacks Bush et al. You should stick to fiscal issues or you will alienate either the hawks or doves.
The video is not intended to push any political agenda only to commemorate "a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service" There are many wars, popular or not, where brave men and women have laid down their lives. This video is just one way that we wish to thank these brave people for their service and sacrifice to ensure our freedoms.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I KNOW that was your intention. I'm just trying to help you by telling you how it could be misinterpreted. I want the EFF to be strong, and there are a lot of Ron Paul supporters in WA state who would be good prospects as EFF members. I don't want them to misinterpret your video as being for the Iraq war, and then decide not to donate to the EFF. I am grateful every day to our troops, but the EFF should stick to State fiscal issues as it has done so well in the past if it wants to grow.

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

Remember Americans - Memorial Day is one to honor those who have given their lives for us to be free today. It is a shame that many companies use Memorial Day for sales. PLEASE BOYCOTT EVERY STORE/COMPANY THAT HAS A MEMORIAL DAY SALE. Memorial Day is for closing down and rememberance not for selling and making money on behalf of the dead. Wake Up America!

I recently came back from Iraq on a sad note because my Sargent died and this video truly lifted my spirit.

I am a veteran, and I just want to say thanks for this video tribute. It was very well done. It is unfortunate that some have sought to try and bring politics into it. For a veteran it is not about all that, it's about our nation and our families. Men and Women gave their lives, not for political parties, for it did not matter in death wether they were Republican or Democrat, they all gave their lives for freedom. Let's just be grateful to them for their sacrifice.

You juxtapose images from WWII with images from Iraq. Are you saying that these two conflicts are similar? If so, that is injecting a political message into your appreciation of the troops. Tacky at best, if true. I hope this was unintentional. Also political is the beginning quote about bravery being required to go to war, but not to order men to war. I happen to agree with it, but it attacks Bush et al. You should stick to fiscal issues or you will alienate either the hawks or doves.

The video is not intended to push any political agenda only to commemorate "a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service" There are many wars, popular or not, where brave men and women have laid down their lives. This video is just one way that we wish to thank these brave people for their service and sacrifice to ensure our freedoms.

I KNOW that was your intention. I'm just trying to help you by telling you how it could be misinterpreted. I want the EFF to be strong, and there are a lot of Ron Paul supporters in WA state who would be good prospects as EFF members. I don't want them to misinterpret your video as being for the Iraq war, and then decide not to donate to the EFF. I am grateful every day to our troops, but the EFF should stick to State fiscal issues as it has done so well in the past if it wants to grow.

You friggin' neocons are always trying to wrap yourselves in the flag. Control your big-government ambitions for once.
