The cost of freedom is......incalculable.

Tears, yes, there are tears here.

Every American needs to ask themselves from time to time, “Am I living a life worthy of their sacrifice?” Many folks are, but as a country, I don’t believe that is the case.

When the video finished playing, I received a phone call. The call was from my 3 granddaughters, ages 7, 10 and 13. They sang Happy Birthday to me. These girls always overwhelm me, but on the tail of watching this video... it really hit.

That fallen soldier sacrificed his life for them, just as others have done before him. I hope this country finds the courage to stand for those who can’t.... and for generations yet unborn.

Thanks for posting.

For anyone who hasn’t seen the movie, “Taking Chance”, see it.

We have seen “Taking Chance”..... I think it’s time to rent it again.

I just now watched a trailer for “Taking Chance” and just that got my eyes wet again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtmiLdzzgGE

Sometimes I think crying is just another way of saying thank you.

You’ll need a box of Kleenex while watching it, but you won’t forget it.

This is why I go out of my way to fly Delta.

OMG! I could hardly get past

As soon as I saw her reach out to put her hand on her baby’s casket, I walked away.

I needed both of those hanky boxes for that one.
Thank God someone recorded it.

Doogle, it doesn't get easier for those of us who care.
I have two sons and for me it will never get easier.
