Thank you for posting this heartfelt and moving video.
We remember them.
Thank you for the ping to this very moving tribute to all our service men and women who gave their last full measure for our freedom.
As was written on the back of a leather vest of a man in that video:
“FREEDOM ISN’T FREE
SOMEBODY PAID”
It’s so sad that many Americans don’t know this. We need to remember and remind them.
Freedom is Never Free,
Somebody Always Pays the Price.
Thank the Lord for those who paid the price for our freedom,
and for those who still stand the wall on our behalf.
I watched this and thought of my fallen relatives and the thousands of brothers who died in arms— real and true Americans they were. Then I look at the utter disrespect of the regressive filth that is commander in chief, and my blood boils over.
The first time I heard “Mansions of the Lord” I cried and cried incessantly for hours even days. The first time I heard it was while watching the funeral services for President Ronald Wilson Reagan on ‘YouTube” about eight years after he passed away. I came across the video by accident, had not known there was any video of his funeral until then. Watching his casket draped in the flag as he lied in state got me even more emotionally overwrought, knowing how proud he would have been Ronald W. Reagan,RIP. The greatest president this republic has ever had the honor and privilege to serve under.
