Thank you for your service

It may be a repeat but this brought tears to my eyes.

If you ever wore a military uniform, in peace or war, you are part of history and we honor you.

Thank you for your service!

Nice vid, thank you. Went to the Cenotaph yesterday and service for Remembrance Day. Wow, veterans getting old, but they are sure tough buggers. I'm freezing and shivering; not a twitch from a one of them.

Nice! When I came home from Iraq, I was met by many family members and friends at the airport waving flags and holding signs. I noticed a Vietnam vet walking by us and mumbling about the reception he got when he came home. Already emotional, all I could think to do was give him and hug and tell him welcome home through my own tears.

I often feel embarrassed about the adulation I/we receive, while Vietnam vets look on, or are the ones bestowing it to us, while knowing they were fucked so badly by the public when they returned. Especially after they experienced far more intense combat than most GWOT vets have.
The Korean war maybe listed as the forgotten war but the Vietnam war was far worse for the veterans, particularly once they got home.

Whenever I find out someone was a hippie in the 60's or 70's I have an unbridled HATE for them!

All veterans of all wars who answered the call should be honored. I alway shake hands when I spot out a veteran. It is we who did when others would not.

Nice one video, I'd like that kind of gratefulness in my country. And not to forget that not everyone that wears a uniform is a hero.

This is very true. For all its faults, America has treated its recent veterans very well.

No they are not.
