Thank you for posting this.
The first time I heard Amazing Grace performed by bagpipes it occurred to me that it must have been written expressly for the pipes. I discovered it wasn’t but it is far and away the most magnificent of music as an instrumental on pipes.
Trump has been caught up in a whirlwind of activity for weeks now. I would be quite tired. He seems to be going strong.
Today he has taken time to meet with some families visiting the graves of their loved ones.
You know, we don’t pause enough to remember, think of the sacrifices made, and lives surrendered on behalf of our nation. This was all done for you and I folks, our families, communities, and nation.
At this moment thinking of Trump’s actions today, I want to salute and thank all our Veterans here on Free Republic.
I appreciate your service to our nation folks.
Thank you very much.
Ok that was hard.
Thank you for posting that.
Tears.
And prayers.
Thanks for the post. Tweeted the link and shared it on Facebook.
I love that. I love bagpipes and they fit that song perfectly. It always chokes me up. It is the best accompaniment to the visuals in the video. God bless all those who this day is for.
That ripped my heart right out.
This is what General Mattis recited today in his speech at Arlington National Cemetery. Great...
Does anyone known who the woman was who sat on stage and/or WHY? I thought perhaps a singer or speaker but she really wasn’t dressed for the role and seemed to have no role at all.
Have you seen and heard this arthurus?
