We Are Marshall - I do everything for you

Song: Everything I do, I do it for you
Artist: Brian Adams
Movie: "We Are Marshall" produced by Warner Brothers

For those who don't know, the movie "We are Marshall" is about the tragic plane crash that killed all but a few of the football team of Marshall University in 1970. My Uncle, who was #43, died when he was 19 years old. Many families lost their mothers and fathers, husbands, brothers, and fiances. It was a deep pain that was felt by everyone. However, even though many thought the football program should be canceled, against overbearing odds, Marshall was allowed to play freshmen on the team, and after many struggles, managed to pull themselves out of the ashes. Their win against Xavier brought new hope to hurting families.

This is dedicated for the people who worked hard to keep the program going. Although my video is centered around only four important people, Jack Lengyel, Red Dawson, Nate Ruffet, and the president of the University, they represent a larger number who worked hard to bring the football team back.

There are a couple of important parts that I wanted to point out. In the line 'I'de lie for you' Nate Ruffet is denying that his shoulder hurts, even as he's crying from the pain. For the line 'You can't tell me it's not worth trying for' the president is in the rain, pleading for freshmen to be allowed to play. This demostrates a little of the determination that these people had to continue. They showed us that giving up is not an option.

I do not own the song, nor the movie. "We Are Marshall" was produced by Warner Bro. Com.

November 14th is my birthday. For 40 years I have taken a moment on MY day to remember those that were lost that day... I am a college football fan... a Bama fan but I cheer for MU like they are part of my own family. God Bless the city of Huntington WV, Marshall U and all those still affected by the events of 40 years ago.

@lasoogneypubes Marshall might be known for that "Other West Virginia School", but for the people that bleed the Green and White, its all we got. We went from losing a whole team to be coming the winningest team in the 90's. What other school in the nation can say that?! Not a one!
