Trad gang has always allowed holiday threads on the holiday they fall on.I've also cleared this to make sure it was ok to post......

 After seeing this in an e mail from a friend,I thought it was most appropriate for this holiday weekend.

It brought me to tears pretty quick,and touched me beyond words...have a look.....

I'm without words. Very fitting on this weekend. CK

Guru,
THANKS for the post and video. It brought tears to my eyes.

Very poignant.

Guru, thanks bro for the moving tribute. I will never forget! God Bless all of our troops. T

If this doesn't touch you in some way, you are not human!

"I'm proud of you, and I will never forget."

Safe Home

May the Warrior Spirits protect you all from harm and keep you safe.

God bless our armed forces,, For me it really is an awsome video and it doesn't make me feel any better knowing that a lot of the support in our upper branches of gov. are fiddlin around with our armed forces,, anyway ,,God bless you Guru for thinking of more than yourself and for sharing and remembering our brothers and sisters that have fallen in battle and those who returned home to smiles and open arms,, God bless, Jason Bobb

Guru, thanks for the heads up on that very moving video.   That is right on the money.   I have had several friends over there and safely return.   But sadly on Jan 23rd 2004 I had a high school friend pay the ultimate sacrifice.   He was a Kiowa Helicopter Pilot and had a crash while returning back from a combat rescue mission.   He was 29.  He is gone but not forgotten.    God Bless all of our troops.

I went down on my knees and cried as I have not cried in years. I prayed to the "The Great One" to keep them safe and I smoked a pipe to the Four Winds. God Bless you all and Thank you Curt for bringing this up. Keep safe and come home.

Makes all my problems into small potatoes.

Travel to the END of the earth, and leave my wife and kids? Loneliness, financial hardship, fear of
never coming home, time lost FOREVER.!!!!!!!!!!!
And they can still smile.

I`m not tough enough. It is time for America to be much less kind, and much less gentle, to the rest of the world, and MUCH more kind, and gentle
to the ones who protect her!

That is real!We must not only keep them in our minds, but support them in anyway we can on the homefront.

Very moving tribute for our troops.

Drive on and God Bless to all our troops! wish sometimes i could be there with them. i miss my days in the army. like the trad gang the friends i had while serving were a different breed. regardless of your political stance these folks do a job that few are willing to do.

A moving tribute to a deserving group of people.....my brother ends his morning radio show each and every morning with  a request for his listeners to shake the hand of every serviceman they see in uniform and simply say thank you.....

We played that clip in our service this morning,very few dry eyes in the place. Thank you Curt, and also thanks to Denny who emailed me a link. Bless all our troops in harms way!!

If you don't shed a tear after watching that then you have no compassion for what soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines do for there country.     God bless them, one and all.
On this memorial day remember them all. Those that have fallen and those who still carry on.

Thank you for the link. God Bless our troops where ever they may be, but especially those in harms way. Thank you to all that have served and all that are. God Bless
