A Soldier's Silent Night

This is a poem composed by LCpl James M. Schmidt and narrated by Father Ted Berndt. I know there are other versions of this video on YouTube, but I wanted to add my flavor to it for 2007.

This is the greatest video i have ever seen on youtube. ever.

[ponyryan]

Absolutely fantastic! I really appreciated this video! It gave me chills of happiness, pride, sadness, and so many other emotions. Thank you for a great posting, and my most humble of statements of gratitude simply cannot express my appreciation for those fighting a war in my stead.

Not really. And thank-you for correcting me. I hate false information.

You couldn't be more wrong. Actually I'm an Independent and there's a reason for that. Quite frankly, my friend...both the Democrats and Republicans need to just go away. Both parties need to be done away with since all they seem to do is whine, bicker, complain, and point fingers at eachother like children. The Democrats are a bunch of whiny and sneaky wimps and the Republicans are a bunch of elitist narrow-minded snobs. Down with the two party dictatorship! Anymore cute theories?

And allies should still be treated with respect seeing as how you never know when you're going to need them. And by your degrading remark on the teaparty it seems to me that you are against them (that was obvious) and think of them as lower forms because of what they do. Yet you probably support a lot of the left winged groups that do things similar to them yet in a more violent way. (The teaparty is the most civil of all the protest group we have had in the past decade)

Maybe the queen of England and the Israeli ambassador aren't exactly high on his priority list because they are already our allies. We're on fairly good terms with them.

[indoorin]

I am resigned to the fact Obama is president. And I don't care who killed MJ I never liked him anyway. I am not a conspiracy nut but he is ruining our foreign affairs with some of our closest allies. First he blows off the queen of england for some party. Then he is as rude as possible to the isrealie ambassador.

@indoorin

I'm kinda waiting for the shocking and bad part. :/

Obama must be up to something. I'm sure it was Obama that REALLY caused Michael Jackson to die. Hahaha. Either way, people are still bitter over the election and just want something to complain about. People will take any excuse at this point. Thank the invisible imaginary man in the sky that I'm an Independent.

[indoorin]

@DeadmanInc336 different ambassador. He completely blew off the isrealie one every chance he got. And the ambassador didn't even stay in the white house because of Obama.

[DeadmanInc336]

@indoorin

Are you people still whining about that? Get over it! So Bush can practically hold hands and make out with the same guy and it's ok. But Obama gives a COURTEOUS bow to the same guy as well as the Queen of England and all of a sudden it's a national crisis? All of a sudden there's a conspiracy? Holy shit! God forbid the President of the US be a little humble and courteous...

*sarcasm*

Are you one of those paranoid, neurotic, and bitter TeaBaggers by any chance? :/

@Abravefan804

It's because of Bush's failed attempt at winning a pointless and meaningless war that we're stuck where we're at both in warfare and economically. And don't get me wrong. I'm not jumping on the 'I Hated Bush' bandwagon...well I tried to jump on but it was already full. XD
