Since today is R.E.D. Friday, I thought perhaps this song by Tim McGraw is appropriate for comforting those who have loved ones in the military... It is sad in some respects, but is an honor in other respects. An honor, because we always take care of our own in the Military... In many ways those who have never served will ever understand...

I'd like to tell you about The Oath Keepers.
http://oathkeepers.org/oath/They are military and law enforcement that has sworn to uphold their oath to defend the Constitution, not the politicians.
If you have served and sworn that oath, reaffirm your commitment to the American people and the Constitution of the United States of America on their site or at an Oath Keepers event. Many civilians are also taking the Oath, administered by an Oath Keeper, at Tea Parties and similar gatherings.
Now there is a forum set up by individual states so you can connect with others in your locale as well as with people all across the land. You can track events and the testimonials volunteered by many Oath Keepers.
http://oathkeepers.org/oath/Another group I'd like you to know about is the Appleseed Project.
http://appleseedinfo.org/ From these fine Patriots, you can learn the rifleman's quarter mile marksmanship and the real history of the first American Revolutionary War.
Tim McGraw has done a tremendous job on this song and I wanted to voice my feelings, too. This is a tribute from the heart to all those who are, were, or ever will be in harm's way to serve and protect freedom. This video is not about war, it's about people. Thank you all."
