This video touched me deeply. Thank you, beebee. To all people around the world who have died in service to their fellow man and woman, and to all those who have suffered as the result, my sincerest gratitude for the sacrifices you have made.

Thank you, Kevin, for sharing with your readers this tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
Russ
Great video thanks for sharing it with us
I’m glad you liked it, Joanne.

So moving..having a son who served in Baghdad, I have a very visceral and humble response to those holidays that honor our men and women in the military.
I’m so happy that your son made it home safely, Mimi. I’m grateful to your son and your family for the great sacrifices that were made. A nephew is serving in Afghanistan as a chopper pilot and is scheduled to rotate back home in the next couple of months, and my son’s next posting may be there. As I know that you know, no one wants war to end more than those who are in it. May they all come home safely.
Russ
Amen my friend.
So sad so true and so poignant, God bless them all……… but what a loss.
What a terrible loss indeed. Thank you for commenting.
Russ
it has to be said.
Yes. To me, Memorial Day is partly about counting the cost as well as expressing gratitude for the sacrifices made by so many.

I spent every Sunday last year writing a blog on war.. every war any war. The more I researched the more horrified I became at man’s inability to learn the lessons of history!
That humanity continues to allow relatively few people whose interests are far from theirs the ability to create wars and start new chains of suffering astounds and saddens me.
Russ
yes it does me too.
This is one of the more poignant videos I have seen on this subject. It touched my heart’s core. Thank you for reposting it, Russ. It is imperative that we keep reminding ourselves of all those who gave their last breath for our freedom and those who serve today that we might enjoy this treasured liberty. We can so easily take it for granted if we are not careful.
I’m glad it touched you as it did me, my friend. Thank you for your comment.
