Seeing young men and women with no scars yet to show on their arms, hands and faces.

Seeing older people with lives lived over many years that show on faces their bodies wrapped up against the chilly day.

Like the fallen have held us protected against the rising storm of hate.

People standing tall and holding others. Great pictures. Quietly showning the power of emotions felt and respect for those who have fallen. Great job Vanessa.

As a former Army wife of a war veteran, 82nd Airborne Division I greatly appreciate this video. To all those who have lost a loved one in this war and past wars. May God bless you and your families for what has been sacrificed for our freedom in our great nation.
