Wow....if that doesn't bring a tear to your eye.
Such brave men & women. They don't make them any better than that!!
They have my utmost respect and admiration for their selfless duty.
In my thoughts & prayers daily....hoping they come home soon!

The TV network should show that clip EVERY SINGLE DAY to remind the "People" of America NOT to forget our soldiers, too many people are forgetting ! We need to have these soldier on our mind all the time and take care of them when they come back from war, not enough is being done for them, that needs to be changed!
A very sweet clip, you want to smile and cry at the same time.

What can you say,except you love them for what they stand for, and what they do for our country. They are what makes, and has always made our country great. Men of character,courage,and the willingness to die for what they believe in. I wish I were younger,so that I may fight beside such men one last time.

How beautiful a tribute...
May God bless every one of them, and bring them all safely back home to us. They deserve everything we can give them when they get home. They deserve to be showered with gifts. Who would take such a low paying job intentionally, staring death in the face, with willingness to serve their country in such an upright manner - the brave and courageous and as Bruce said, men of character. We do love them. Such fine beautiful men.

I've seen this before, but it's still moving every time I see it.
