Both of my parents served in the Army during WWII. My Dad received a Purple Heart. My family has served during every war starting with the Revolutionary War. Don't mess with the USA, we will hurt you! They both had military funerals and I lived on a military fort. I hated hearing taps every evening. I would increase the volume on my TV so I wouldn't. Taps means "the end". I hate that song. Saddest song ever written IMO.

Watching this had me in tears. My husband joined the army when he was 18 years old. He was sent to Vietnam where he fought and was exposed to Agent Orange. He came home and were married in 1973. He died May 17, 2020 from Agent Orange. It slowly destroyed his internal organs finally causing heart failure. He spent his life as a police officer. He retired, was a probation officer, a city councilman, and finally mayor of Wyandotte, Michigan. He was a husband, father, and grandfather. His life was one of service to his country. Sadly he is missed by his family and all who knew him. Joseph R. Peterson gave his all for his country. I miss him. I am his wife. 😢❤️🇺🇸

Taps possible lyrics -- Day is done, gone the sun, From the lake, from the hills, from the sky; All is well, safely rest, God is nigh. Fading light, dims the sight, And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright. From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night. Thanks and praise, for our days, 'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky; As we go, this we know, God is nigh. Sun has set, shadows come, Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds Always true to the promise that they made. While the light fades from sight, And the stars gleaming rays softly send, To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

It was not until I grew older that I realized that we were honoring the wrong dead. I try and honor those that gave all. I also those that served, not just on Veteran's Day. In my opinion, anyone that served deserves to be honored. That there is no such thing of I only served stateside, so it does not count. I tell all veterans that I would dig a foxhole so deep that nobody could find me if I had to serve. ** New comment** I was at a job and met a WWII veteran that served on the Red Ball Express, amazing! He was shocked someone my age even knew of it. He quizzed me, and I knew what I was talking about. It is one of my favorite movies. He informed not all guys were as good-looking as the main character. I quipped, you mean you didn't look like Sidney Poitier back then, he laughed so hard. His son came back later to tell me that my excitement of meeting his dad made his dad cry with joy and proud of his service in ways that he never had before.

November 11th in the USA is called Veterans Day and it honors all veterans - not just the fallen. It dates from WW1 and Armistice Day which was 11/11/1918. Memorial Day in the USA dates from 1868 and was originally called "Decoration Day", meaning the graves of Civil War dead were decorated on the day. It was changed during WW2 to Memorial Day and honors all of those who fell in the military service of the United States of America.

I wonder if they had someone with them at the very end and then I remember that they were never alone because Our Lord was there holding that Soldier or Corpman or Chaplain’s hand as they took their last breath. I’m sure they knew it because they saw Him and He was telling them that it was time to “Come Home.” Taps is the loneliest sound in the world. You never feel more alone as when you hear it played for a Friend, a Family Member or a Parent. You can be surrounded by a hundred people and you feel like that lone person by that coffin.

This really hit home and it really pisses me off that there's all these people in our country trying to change everything that all these people died for died to make this country great and keep it great these people trying to change it and turn into something horrible they won't realize what they had until they've lost it and that's really really sad

Here is a poem called America's Answer to In Flanders Fields America's Answer by R. W. Lilliard REST YE in peace, ye Flanders dead. The fight that ye so bravely led We've taken up. And we will keep True faith with you who lie asleep With each a cross to mark his bed, In Flanders fields. Fear not that ye have died for naught. The torch ye threw to us we caught. Ten million hands will hold it high, And Freedom's light shall never die! We've learned the lesson that ye taught In Flanders fields.

So many, not for our country, not for ourselves, but for what we believe to be right. How many nations would I die for, more than just the USA. By my brothers do I prove my worth, or my debt. And for my brothers, I will give all.

You should find the film, "Gardens of Stone." The story of the war at home and the people who lived through it. From director Francis Coppola (The Rainmaker, The Godfather) with James Caan...

My friend LCPL David R Hall died from an IED in Afghanistan in 2009. No idea where he’s buried. I think of him often. 😢

I believe actor Gary Senise (Lt. Dan in the movie Forrest Gump) is quite probably the most patriotic person I have ever known. I wish you would react to this video of one of the trips Gary and his foundation has sponsored in the past. The trip is to the World War II museum in New Orleans. The Gary Senise Foundation in his Soaring Valor campaign flies World War II veterans along with the same number of High School students to the museum to learn from the veterans what they experienced during that war. It is very moving to see the reaction these students have when learning the history from those who lived it. Here is a link to one of the trips... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKmGptOa2NDFkZc.html

Having this download on June 6th, Day D, is poignant. If you haven't seen Trace Adkins do "Till The Last Shot's Fired", it is worthy of your time!

My dad never let me forget that the day they found out mom was pregnant with me, late '66, was the same day my dad received is draft letter, he had to go and prove mom was pregnant, and they relisted his number as married with a dependent, and it never came up again. He would tell that story, and cry and thank God.

Oh! Flanders Field we hear your cry, The torch you tossed will be held on high, Your lives you did not give in vain, Read America’s Answer to Flanders Field.
