My deepest gratitude, respect, and admiration to all who have or are now serving in the Armed Forces and their families.
These men and women are the truest heroes that the world has.
I am very proud to have the liberties that we have today, because of those that have or are now fighting to protect my freedom.
To my family, Thank You!
Grandpa (WWII - Merchant Marine), Uncle (WWII - US Navy ), Dad (Korea - US Air Force), Brother (Vietnam - US Air Force), Son (US Marine - stateside), Cousin (currently serving aboard US Naval Ship)
Be proud and stand up patriotically for yourself and your country!

My father and brother both served time as crew on 'Angel Flights' and agreed that this was one of the hardest but most rewarding of all their duties during their military service.
This video in honor of them and all of the crews of the 'Angel Flights'. Suggest you have a more than few tissues handy...I can't listen to this without crying.

A beautiful post, Cat, personal and impressive. Freedom has to be defended as new generations have learned nothing from history and want to fight their own wars.

I have always wanted to do this as a video military tribute, especially during Irag and Afghanistan but could never get it together. I always seemed so appropriate. I can tell it has found a good home here.
