Excellent! We're just now going thru the "Not a Fan" series. This is a man patterned after myself and it sounds as tho' his story could be mine also. Very meaningful testimony. I know he'll be missed on earth. But not in Heaven.

@Miggimaus Prove it,

@broaddusmarines IMO, if Marine Cope and Jarhead weren't actually in the Corps and just want to say they were, what the hell? Don't get your skivvies in a knot over it. I work with a guy who couldn't get in cuz of his feet, but he wears cover that says "Marines" on it.I think it's kinda silly, b...

@godnmyhands you want a REAL fairy-tale? Try evolutionary theory. But then, that's probably where your whole fallacious belief-system rests. Talk about a cranial-rectal inversion. You've got a terminal case, my friend. Good luck.

@r0ckar00 New York City is more than just Manhattan Island, my friend. This was shot from the borough of Queens, across the East River from Manhattan.

@CharmedMcMahoniacs I DID see where she was wounded. I was responding to Suesongs48 who thought the Purple Heart was awarded for bravery. Generally, it's not given for wounds from "friendly fire", but, as you said, she was probably injured due to "hostile fire". Misnomers! ALL fire is "hosti...

@ThePanzerWarMachine

The Japanese didn't have a mine that powerful. Neither did we. Most likely, this was an un-exploded artillery shell, say 155-mm or 16-inch naval round. Thousands of these were fired in the battle for Okinawa, and an estimated 10% never went off. They were extremely sensi...

Lovely and inspiring. But calling the Uilleann pipes Scottish is a it of a stretch. Non the less, a beautiful piece of music and photography. Good job.

@rodrigofantems Why should he blame Americans? Did anyone say that his lack of arms was war-related trauma? Those look more like birth defects to me, but your bigotry is showing through. Grow up, friend, and get a life.

@Rexxstar100 brain aneurism is what killed her.

Actually, I preferred Judy's version until the Uilleann pipes struck in. The perfect accompaniment instrument to a tune such as this.. Now I've got a new favorite.

Very respectable job, lad.

It's the strings and chord progressions that make the difference between this version and Twitty's. Great tune!

From an American with Scottish-Irish-Welsh roots, I love this hymn. First heard it at Princess Di's funeral and was really moved by it. Greatest hymn ever. It SHOULD be Britain's national anthem. No question.

Outstanding! Too bad there were a large number of folks who seemed unaffected by the patriotic atmosphere, but maybe they had other things on their minds. Great video.

Not sure how this could have happened. The M-1 is disassembled that way only if the entire trigger housing group is removed, not an easy task even when the intent is there. It must still have been lying on the parade deck somewhere. Pretty unfortunate.

The sad part about this is that there are people in other countries seeing this and getting the impression that the folks depicted herein represent the real America because that's ALL they see of the American people. Pretty pathetic.

@Legertymusic Great! Thanks for the info. Not at ALL familiar with Mac products.

G'day, mate.

Notice that after the man had been shot, the cop did NOTHING to render assistance to the wounded man. His 'subject" was down, heavy motorcycle pinning him to the ground, and the cop merely stood there and let him bleed. Nice.

"Fat Albert" is a Marine Corps aircraft, crewed by Marines, NOT Navy personnel.

Current scientific study refutes his specious arguments. He's about 20 years behind the times. Studies show that sexual orientation is nurture-engendered, not by nature as he suggests. Using his arguments, that God created all things, can be extended toward sadism, murder, child-abuse, drug-ab...

Excellent. Thanks for this posting.

A 'Nam vet.

Nice tight performance. Excellent job, guys.

Excellent video with a nicely-chosen, well-coordinated music score. Good job!

Great job. Thanks for posting this.

I'm surprised they didn't just leave Mr. Ashford to bleed on the sidewalk while they threw the dogs off the bridge. Who called the ambulance? Surely not these animals.

@HambertHM You always have a comment to put someone else down, huh? Is nothing good enough for you? Grow up.

A heart-felt "Thanks" from a Viet vet.

From a Viet vet, a simple heart-felt "Thanks."
