How This Works

I am a proud Marine wife! My husband is serving his second tour in Iraq. God bless all who have served and God bless their families who serve as well. I am so proud to be an American and can honestly say I have ALWAYS been proud to be an American. May we never forget those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom! God Bless America!!

This is so beautiful and moving. As a Soldier's wife as well as one who works everyday with miilitary families it is so wonderful to know that there are those who support the troops. God Bless America and those who SERVE.

I pray for those men an women in the service also for those were fighting, because they do not know what freedom is . God help them! I think they cannot make the younger generation aware enough of what our service men are doing so they can have the right to be free. I love this country and our people.

My son just became a US Marine. This is a very touching tribute to those who are willing to lay down their life for democracy....even when they are so very young. Thank you!

My grandfather was wounded twice in the Civil War, my father was in the National Guard during WWII because he had 5 children and they wouldn't take him in the Army, my grandson is a Staff Sgt. in the Army and has served a tour in Iraq and a tour in Afghanistan. Bless all those who serve and have served.

I have never served in the Armed Forces and never had to sign up for the draft. I am older now and feel somewhat empty for never having done so. I have nothing but total respect for all those who have served and are serving this Country today. A person may say they don't support the war but they support the soldiers. What ever happened to "My Country right or wrong"? We have no where else to go that gives us the chances and choices we have here, to make our lives what we want. No support for the war ultimately means no support for the soldier who is out there trying to do his mission the best he can and wants to complete the task to make it worth the blood, sweat and tears. They must be able to complete the mission with total and complete support or there is no chance of winning. Read your history. Very good video and song!

Our country, Land of the Free, this is where I was born, this is where I live, this is where I will die. I served, I have the utmost respect for those that have had the courage to step up to the plate and put on the uniform of any branch of service. Without them, this country would have gone under a long time ago, and our politicians may yet manage to do what our enemies have not been able to do, and that is to destroy this country from within.

we can support our troops. but we DO NOT have to support bush and his decisions. we need to get our friends and family out of all the hell holes bush has put them in.

Outstanding and emotional video, thank you John. And thank you the American service(man/woman)for the sacrifice you make in your call to duty. I pray dear God that you protect them and bring them back home safely.

As a Viet Nam veteran, it touches me to witness such a well done video. My father served for 28 years in the Air Force during Nam, and I have a son in Korea with orders to Iraq. It is comforting to feel the support of our servicemen and women as the fight against radical fundamentalism is sustained by a new generation of American patriots.
