A Veteran's day video that everyone should watch.
Thank you to all who served.
Thanks to them, and thanks, ziggy, for posting this.
Yut.
Great find Fry Boy. Anyone see the Veteran's Day Parade in Milwaukee on Saturday? I was privileged enough to participate in it again this year, but this time I got to be up on the review stand...very awesome to see so many come out and show thanks and support for our Armed Forces.
I don't think I've ever seen a Veteran's Day recognition as moving as the one at halftime of the Chiefs-Broncos game yesterday in Kansas City.
Before the game, 78,000 fans gave a standing O to this old veteran of WWII, an elderly guy who had been stationed in England, and had flown several missions before being shot down over France on DDay. He spent the rest of the war in a prison camp.
At halftime a giant flag was carried onto the field by about a hundred soldiers. On the jumbotron was a poignant slideshow of the fallen servicemen from Kansas and Missouri, with the accompanying soundtrack "If you're reading this." Immediately after that, a group of about 30 guys, not in military uniform, were sworn into the army at midfield. http://mylifeasamilitaryspouse.blogspot.com/2007/05/tim-mcgraw.html (http://mylifeasamilitaryspouse.blogspot.com/2007/05/tim-mcgraw.html)
