I never go to military sites but a co-worker sent this video to me a few minutes ago and I cried my eyes out. My boss thought there was something wrong with me. He saw it too and loved it. I read the message about going to youtube to read the message. I still have goose bumps on my arms. My husband will want to see this because he was in Vietnam in 1968. Thank you for such an uplifting experience. I agree FIVE STARS!

Great theme, great music, fantastic sentiment. One problem I had was being able to read all the text because the color of the letters blended too well with the background. Could be because I’m viewing on a CRT monitor rather than a nice flatscreen. I’ll look at it again when I get home tonight.

Well done.

andre thanks for your comments.

There are some great organizations that do so much for our military. One that my family and I are currently receiving the benefit of incredible generosity since 22 August is, The Fisher House at Ft Bragg.

I could go on for hours about how wonderful these folks are!

Mr. Melody,

God bless your family and especially your soldier.

What is your loved one’s name so I, we, could include it in our prayers?

P.S. Excellent vid, remember there are many more than you know who appreciate the sacrifices being made by our brave troops.

It’s hard to get our civilian friends to really understand what we go through as a military family. I sent this video to my husband in Iraq. I know it was incredibly touching and meaningful to me, thank you!

Mike,

Excellent job! This slide show really hits home. I hope you don’t mind, but I posted this on myspace in hopes that the message you have portrayed will bring more compassion and understanding to those here at home about the sacrifices our men and women make every single day while fighting for our country. My son has been “in country” for approximately 14 months, stationed in Ramadi, Iraq and this video pulled at my heart strings. . . made me cry. We all need spread the word that not only do our service men and women deserve compassion and understanding, but they deserve our support and a heart felt “welcome home.” These brave men and women have given up their freedoms and their liberties, so that we may have ours. True heroes! So, when you all see our military personnel, please take the time to welcome them home.

Just beautiful. God Bless them all. I recently spoke with one of our heros at home. He is a member of The U.S. Air Force Auxiliary. What a special person. He was so happy to tell about all the good he, his wife and two sons, all do in sevice to this country and humanity. The reward for him was doing good and helping people. We can only aim in that direction with their example. And Hell, it’s so easy to love these folks. If you want to hear more about Mike and The Auxiliary check my blog.

What a great video!!!

Good Job Dollard and whoever sent that in obviously knows what he’s editing.

Kudoes, Mike!

And the only thing harder than being a soldier … is being a patient and loyal civilian FOR the soldiers and their mission. Seems some civilians are falling way short these days.

G-d bless our troops and their CIC.

Saw this with another song someplace. I love it, and here is another good charity for patriots. www.homesforourtroops.org they make homes for disabled soldiers. I think it’s true about having compassion for them. To all vets and soldiers

Tears roll down my face as I watch. I know full well how it feels as I fought in Desert Storm 1 and now burried a dear friend as he was killed in northern Bagdad. Soldiers you are to be saluted…I salute you and give thanks for your sacrifice every minute of every day!
