I don't cry easy, I am a Man, but there are some things that just slay me to my soul. She saw me cry when we went to the Alamo, I could not stop it. I have seldom been in a place that touched me like that. She has seen me cry watching films, not that many, but it happens. I don't brag about stuff like this, but some things touch me in my heart to a level I can't help but express my feelings.
I have a lot of pride, but I am not too proud to bring my heart out in certain circumstances. Tonight was just too much, we both have friends who lost family in those wars over there in Iraq and Afghanistan. I can name people I knew who are dead now, slayed in battles, or in accidents of war. I'm just glad I don't have children who have gone in Harm's Way. I don't think I could take it if my offspring were over there doing that.
I can hurt, and still be a man, but some things just cut my guts out. Somehow tonight just set it all off again.
God bless our beautiful fighting forces, we are so fortunate to have them over there fighting for us. I'd take a bullet for any of them, in my mind. Thank God for our beautiful America and her men and women of valour.
Our troops are worth crying over. John Wayne did.
I cried a little bit in Battle for LA, but I was alone so it didn’t count.
Amen. Preach it!
I still remember crying like a baby when the first gulf war started knowing my brothers were called on to serve while I was lucky to be assigned to Ft. DeRussy, Hawaii..
I never watch the show but was flipping channels and came upon the scene at the cemetery. I felt the same way. It was very well done, moving and all too real for so many people. God bless our troops and may God take care of them as they fight for all our freedoms while the enemy within try and take them away. This is when it hits home about how our freedoms are eroding while our men and women die on foreign soil. God help us all from what we are exposed to. Oh and one more thing...if a man DOESN’T cry...he should. Crying shows he has a heart and a soul and to me and many others...that’s the sign of a real honest to goodness man!!! So, never apologize for tears....
“Coming Home” was just too much tonight with the gracious Gold Star parents! When they showed the host the flag that had melted from taking on fire was the point of no return. Nobody cries alone in my home! I love you freepers!!!
