Moms of Dead Soldiers Honor Their Sons on Veterans Day

Gold Star mothers Karen Merideth and Nadia McCaffrey remind us that putting a magnet on your car is not supporting the troops.

"Go visit the VA near you. Give them five minutes of your time. They need to be listened to. They need our love and they need our support." -- Gold Star mom Nadia McCaffrey

McCaffrey founded Veterans Village, where veterans suffering from PTSD can find peace and services. Mrs. Merideth serves on the board:

Love your work, SlackerUprising, Sicko, 911Bowling for Columbine etc was very good and for many years you give a voice to the unserve, the ignored and unforgotten. I think your next documentary/movie should be about the veterans of this country - the past, the present and the possible future if we don't consider diplomacy as a way to heal the world's divide. Peace

Thank you Micheal for showing us the true heroes, and the cost of what war does to a family.The last 4 yrs you have inspired this country to focus on issues and to me the WAR is the #1 issue. It no longer gets talked about on the news and during the historical election (yeah Barack Obama) only 10% saw it as an issue which tells me it is erasing slowly from the consciousness of the American people as if it no longer exist. Only Gretha Van Sustren give reverence to our fallen sholdiers daily.THnxs

It's hard to see the one you love pass away ahead of you. But I know that these moms are very proud of their sons. True enough that if we hate the war, we can not hate the warrior.

@MrSniper1177 That wasnt me, my youtube was hacked a while back. What that comment said is fucking bullshit. FUCK HITLER. Sorry for any inconveinience

[MrSniper1177]

[weinmanjoe]

@dsrsp I laugh at the towel heads who blow themselves up in support of their cause.Let them continue. Soon there will no longer be males in the region and the culture will die with their cause

[TannerJay250]

I swear to God if my city was big enough I would go to one of these funerals and I would beat the living f*ck out of the war protesters. I wouldn't give a sh*t if lawsuit resulted. What these people do is downright sick. Please, if you see these protesters at least curse them out or something, and accept the consequences with some backbone! R.I.P. vets. Rest In Peace.

I just love to see US soldiers falling dead to the ground. It gives me a nice warm feeling inside. It amuses me a lot. I like to watch those Juba videos, they are awesome.

[LcoolJfiveoh]

i used to believe in the war in the middle east...

i thought we were there for the right reasons,

we are not.

[Prunesqualer]

Iran and North Korea are not particularly pleasant regimes.

States are like people or animals in that they are often at their most dangerous when they feel threatened. If you study the modern history of Iran and Korea you will understand that they have some justification for mistrusting and feeling threatened by us.

[420Guitar420]

Their leaders are lunatics. We should have invaded them instead of Iraq. Now our military is stretched in 2 warzones and North Korea is free to launch missile after missile wherever they please and Iran is ruled by another crazy as fuck dictator who thinks the Holocaust didn't happen. I'd say these guys are a far more dangerous threat to the world than Saddam was...even though he was a monster.

[Prunesqualer]

And just how did the puppet George W Bush make things better in Iran and North Korea?

[420Guitar420]

If you listen to the American media to begin with you're a moron. And yes I'm an American. Bush was right about North Korea and Iran btw.

I SURVIED UNDER LTC WHITE COMMANDER OF TASK FORCE 2-37 AR LT BALLARD WAS IN Cco 2-37 AR. I KNEW LT BALLARD HE WAS KILLED BY HIS LOADERS M240 CAUSE IT WAS NOT LOCKED DOWN.

Veterans Disarmament Act is now Law

Congress knows that bloodshed is inevitable in America given the outstanding debt & rapid collapse of the US Dollar. They also know Veterans will likely be the first to stand up against Gov tyranny through guerrilla Warfare.

Basically, Veterans names are now being put into the Brady Instant Check Data Base to block Veterans from being allowed to own or carry guns of any type

Moreover, Obama he wont bring soldiers home; diminishes vet benefits

[log140]

we can oppose the war, without beeing against the soldiers!!!

all hypocrite warmongers want us, to send our children in a war for their own interrest.. and whoever opposes that: will be called names!! i want to see their children go to war first!!

could anyone name one, just one child of a senator, or member of the us-gov who "serves his country"....

[jeremyryanwilliams]

I live right by this memorial. It's incredibly powerful to see.

[DJLodose]

Yeah but the only problem with that is that they are under the assumption that they had a competent commander-in-chief to lead them. I hope that now they have that leader. Peace

[grahamkeithtodd]

i note with some intrest that all of these tossers who say to these protesters that "your not surporting the troops" have never served or had any of THERE kids in the amred forces! a tad hypocritical methinks!

[Prunesqualer]

We need to get educated and start quesioning what our media and leaders tell us. Too many people bought the lies about WMDs, terrorist connections etc. Next time some ignorant jumped up cowboy starts spouting about "the axis ef evil" BEWARE!

[WKaliber1]

plus, its not like anyone forced them to go, they signed up themselves

[pedagogic1]

" are their moms grieving?"

Grab your nuts and go over their and find out, whining is for women and cry babies.

[pedagogic1]

"and throw the soldiers in jail for the rest of teir lives."

I propose you back up your mouth with your life

[CarlKenner]

But did the people your son was trying to kill make it home? Or are their moms grieving?
