My husband did 3 tours in Iraq and on the 3rd one he must have had a feeling he wasn’t coming back because he wrote a note to my son and left it in the saddle of his Harley telling him he loved him and was proud of him and will always be watching over him … my son is marine now and rides that bike to Arlington every year to visit him on his birthday ❤ semper fi riot we miss you A’HO ❤

I get chills and I'm not a vet. My family came to this country in WW1 because well...my great grandparents were a German man and his Jewish wife...both born and raised in Russia. Noooot a great combo in that time and place so they thought America was the best bet. The soldiers of this nation have made it safe for people like my family to come here and make a life for themselves. So thank you for your service.

My husband was a young Marine in Vietnam; we weren’t married or sweethearts at the time. I knew him; he’s my best friend’s brother. Fortunately, he did make it home! I have watched several reactions to the Riding with Pvt. Malone video, but haven’t heard anyone comment about the buttons on the radio not working right except tuning into the “oldies” late at night. The oldies were Pvt. Malone’s music! They were new when he was alive, that’s why those songs were heard late at night! ♥️🇺🇸♥️
