Hopefully nobody takes this as political but I've seen this video playing at several sites I've been to in the last few days and thought it would be nice to pass it along.

Whether you support the war or not, please support our troops.

Thank you Mike...I hadn't seen that...

We attended a funeral about 6 months ago for the little brother of a high school friend of my husbands that was killed in Iraq...the saddest thing I have ever seen is a little girl of no more than 4 years old kiss her daddy's casket and say "bye,bye daddy".The soldier was only 22 when he died.

Couldn't agree more.

Some of the comments below the video I found disturbing and sad.

Just read those Tim....some are very sad...


"when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

This is a quote from the United States Declaration of Independence...most soldiers fight...and die so there children won't have to...no matter their home country,all soldiers fight for the same reason.

This is not my "political" opinion...jus my heartfelt belief...

I feel a person is allowed to have their opinions. That's what being free is all about. But to say some of those things I found just wrong.

Save it for the right forum, not there.

Just my opinion, however.

I think most are young and do it for "shock value"...which for me...makes it even sadder....

Sad video. But will always remember our troops, past and present.

A little discipline at the table and at the gym might help reduce that belly!

OMG! You're so right, some of those comments are discusting. It makes me sooo angry to see how truely dumn and blind so many of us are. Why is it that there is never enough support for our troops?

Thank you to everyone out there serving in the military. We appreciate your effort and sacrifice.
