Video tribute at site ping!
Thank you to all those that served, past and present, and those that continue to protect our freedoms.
Found out the other day that my Grandfather and Grandmother were married on Armistice Day, he was a WWI vet.
13 fantastic videos! Great job! bttt
Looks like you raided Mark Levin’s audio stash ;o)
Don’t forgot the Coast Guard, they are the fifth branch of the military. I don’t
know where the Merchant Marines fall though...
May those who died rest in peace.
BTW was anyone else offended that Zero was late - a full five minutes - at Arlington today?
I went to the Veterans Day Parade in downtown Houston today. A woman walked up to me and asked if I was a veteran. I told her I was and she handed me an envelope and said Thank you for you service and went on her way. Inside was a thank you note with the following words written by hand.
Dear Hero,
Ive often wondered how to show my sincere gratitude and appreciation for one has sacrificed so
much, one who has given so much, so I can be free. Thank you for your service and all you
have given so I, my children and future generations will be free. May God bless you and
keep you always.
With love and prayer,
Rececca Richards
This lady was sincere!
There were Occupy Houston protestors one block away from the parade route. My wife said Everyone of those people should be walking around thanking veterans for their right to protest.
Finally, there was an ARVN soldier in his old uniform watching the parade. Everytime the American flag passed he came to attention and saluted. Wow!
One of the first floats in the parade was “Goldstar Mothers”. Women who had lost children in the war were on the float. That made me and my wife both cry.
A drink to all those who are gone...
