Thanks for showing this video










And Thank You to all that have served!

 

 

WOW!!!,What a video.I've heard the song on the radio,But i never saw the video until know.Thank you to all members on DB who served their country.A couple years ago the vietnam war memorial replicla was coming to a town near me and i took my dad to visit it.Because he's a vietnam vet.And when we got there,I found out that he had a friend that didn't make it back.So it was sad for me to watch him at his friends name on the wall.Thanks for sharing stkdram55.

 

A very awesome video indeed! It definitely hit me hard the first time I heard the song.

When I was a little kid, 4th grade I think, the traveling Vietnam Wall memorial came to our town. My grandfather was killed in Cambodia during Vietnam, but since we were never there during the war, his name never made it on the wall. In fact there is no information that his unit ever existed. When I got there, I was ok for a few seconds, then as I got close and saw just how many names there were, it tore me apart. I cried for a long time, it was just so mind boggling to me at that age. It was also very humbling knowing that all those soldiers put their lives on the line, that my grandfather died so we could live life without fear.

God Bless the soldiers that have died, and those that continue to fight for our freedoms! America....land of the free because of the brave!

Damn, no words could describe what I'm feeling right now.
I thank god and the military everyday, that I am able to live free. Also I thank everyone that served in the military before me, and gave me the opportunity to serve my country (Not as long as I would like) But I was able to.

 

wow... incredible. absolutley incredible.

my father was in vietnam but he wasnt there for as long as some. im glad to have himareound still, i couldnt begin to imagine what those that lost thier brothers, sisters, fathers and mother to war must feel everyday...

to my fallen brothers and sisters OOH RAH!

we will never forget you, and everyhting you have done.

i would have liked to continue into the marines but i cant because of my spinal implants. it would be an honor to protect my homeland against opposition.

for those that have lost anyone to war, my heart goes out to you.

this is a very powerful picture


that is all

Johnboy,that is a very powerful piture.

 

That is an awesome picture. I have been to DC once and had time to stop at the wall for about 10 minutes. In a city that is so big and so many people around, it got deftly quite when I walked up to it. Time pretty much stood still as I looked in a amazement at all the names. It's impossible to describe the way I felt when I was there, like nothing I had ever felt before. Some day I will make it back and be able to spend some time there.
