And so are you. Thank you.
If you could, would you tell me what Mrs. Smith just had to say? I have lost satellite due to heavy rain, and I so much wanted to hear the end of this program!
Believe it or not...I missed it, too.
Mrs.Smith said her son was now part of the history that inspired him.
If that don't bring the tears, my whole family watched.
Those MEN are the HEROES!!!
She visited the WWII memorial and said her son is part of history. She and all the families are wonderful.
How dare you defile our soldiers with your hatred.
Thanks. What a remarkable woman!
She said he did not die in vain. She believed in what we are doing and that he was fighting for our freedom.
God Bless ALL our Troops and Comfort the families of the fallen and wounded.
Outstanding program.
Semper fi.
Thank you...I caught part of what she said, but was called away.
She's remarkable.
Off topic... do you know why "Hillarys Fat Legs" got banned? Just heard about it this week.
"Mrs.Smith said her son was now part of the history that inspired him."
And she had such dignity and grace when she said it. It's easy to see where her son got his strength and courage. What a great program!
I agree, a great report by Palcot.
I thank God for the service and sacrifice of these brave men.
These are all young men (and an all-volunteer military), just kids really to an old lady like me. But they sure as heck make me proud.
I spent last night visiting with a 39 year-old woman who was just a freckled face little 12 year-old girl the last time I saw her. And she made me proud talking about how she joined the Army after Desert Storm.
She's still my sweet little silly niece, but young people like her make me realize there are some fine young men and women in this world.
It'll be on again at midnight, EDT, for those who may have missed it.
Semper fi.
This was an outstanding report....we need more like this.
Yes she is . Did you see the part where she said her son was inspired by the troops who stormed the beaches of Normandy? That was what she meant when she said he was joining the History that he admired. Brought tears to my eyes.
This can't be the only story of our troops, there must be thousands and thousands of them. Why oh why don't they get more coverage?
Will this be shown again on another day?
