A lot of attention is given to us for this current war. Society has forgotten about those who came before us. I think this commercial is a much needed reminder. What do you think?

SSG Burns,

It brought serious tears to my eyes. Such very kind and tender moments.

I watched it twice. For some reason, kindness really registers with me.

Warmest Regards, Sandy

SSGT. Honestly that brought tears to my eyes. Never forget those who came before us, they set the standard.I always make it a point to thank any Vet or Service member for their service , especially The Vietnam Vets ,
They came home to people spitting on them calling the baby killers , that would suck think of their feelings they were under orders and did what they had to do to survive , many of them came home feeling shamed I love our vets and service members what kind of country are we if we forget those who came before us ? I think we take time to ponder our thoughts I know how I feel. I want to take this time to personally thank each and everyone of you who have served our country. Thanks For Your Service Everyone!!

Thank you all, and welcome home. It took me many, many years to hear that, and was very moved when I did. I have talked with vets who felt that they suffered more PTSD when walking through the airports 72 hours out of country when being spit at called baby rapers and worse, had coffee and other crap (literally) thrown at us. I only wore my uniform once when I was traveling even though I was supposed to-never again!

Thank you for sharing that. I will share that with my fellow vets - it helps the hurt.

Thanks guys-I help all vets and their families, so weeing good things makes this old guy smile and pass it on. Thank you all for your service-we are indeed a small community, and Congress is looking to make us smaller.
