This video is not really 8 minutes long (it's about half that) and you can leave it at any time (but you may not want to).
I watched so many Veteran's Day/Military/Support Our Troups videos that I thought my eyes were going to fall out.
Something was not quite right with each one.
Some had great music, but video that was too graphic.
Too many were set to the tune of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA", and although I love the song and it usually brings me to tears, I got really tired of experiencing it with bad quality video.
Sad to say, but there must have been a contest at one time to make the cheesiest, most cliche' video.
Some were political statements that must have aired during the campaign, and you know what? Veteran's Day is NOT the time to spew your opinion, it's the time to remember and honor.
Just when my husband was going to place my bags by the curb (because I spent so many hours just trying to find a video that said "Thank you, I'm proud of you") I discovered this.
The quality is not great. The music editing is terrible. But one teenager (now adult) said what 30 Youtube videos couldn't.
Thank you Veterans. Thank you families who serve along side of them. Thank you, those who have made the greatest sacrifice. May God bless you.
great choice in a Veterans Day tribute! (I like your new layout as well!)
ReplyDeleteMay Almighty God Bless each and every Airman, Soldier, Sailor and Marine!
AirmanMom returning to her blog...
Great Tribute.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to all those who have served and to their families for the sacrifices they have made as well.
ReplyDeleteI've seen that before but I think it was set to different music.
ReplyDeleteI love it. What a tribute.
Thank you, Veterans!
That was great.
ReplyDeleteJ, we're grateful to your husband for what he is doing and to spouses like yourself who sacrifice so much that is never recognized.
If you're so inclined, drop on over and read of my thanks.
Happy Veterans Day.
Why is it that certain images and songs can bring tears so quickly to our eyes? Because we are proud of our veterans, whether they be family or friends. Lovely tribute...
ReplyDeleteJust as we are proud of your hubby for what he does, and you for the sacrifices you make. Thank You!
I have seen this video before and love it. The guy who paints the rock (he redoes it every year for Veteran's Day) was on a TV show I was watching. What a neat thing!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. Bless them all. Today and always.
ReplyDeleteWOW - Powerful!
ReplyDeleteSending respect, pride and admiration to you and all those families serving...thank you.
Oh that was so powerful. THIS WAS AWESOME. Thank all of them and thank YOU.
ReplyDeleteIn the UK we do not hear much about how other countries honour their war heroes and those who lost their lives. Maybe sometimes we are too insular. Thank you for reminding us that we are not the only country to have lost service men.
ReplyDeleteI have seen this rock. Pictures never do it justice!!! It really is amazing and makes your heart swell with American pride!
ReplyDeleteAwesome tribute! Send your husband THANKS from me! You must be so proud of him!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you for your honorable service. Our family holds you in our prayers of thankfulness and for protection.
ReplyDeleteThank-you! I blubbered like a baby!
ReplyDeleteAlso, thank-you for the sacrifices you and your family have made in service to our country.
That was nice. I had not seen that before.
ReplyDeleteThanks to your husband, you and your entire family for the great sacrifices you offer everyday for this great country. Great video!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of you and your family a lot today. Thank you thank you thank you. To your husband, to you and to your kids.
ReplyDeleteThank you - all of you - for the sacrifices you're making. You make it look so fun. As my SIL says (they're lifers in the AF), "bloom where you're planted." But without people like you, we wouldn't be free and independent.
ReplyDeleteTHank you for taking the time to find what was a beautiful tribute to those who need and have all the respect I can give!! God bless them and God bless the USA!!
ReplyDeleteA very nice tribute, and I hear and agree with all the things you said besides. I love your attitude.
