Some see things like this and are inspired and some see it and simply don't get it. I wonder which one fits obama. Actually I don't wonder, it just depresses me to no end to know that he doesn't get it and or doesn't care. I know you posted this to inspire appreciation, but for me these things seem to magnify the sorry state of our current gov. To see his statment that since our current military is made up of volunteers then why don't soldiers take care of their own medical needs. I have known he would go this route, but seeing it happen is hitting harder than I expected.
I served and sacrificed to honor those very people addressed in your post. I am proud of them and honored to be counted with them. But what can be done to make or help those who are indifferent to "get it" or even give a ........
You honor those who set the standards, you honor me. Thank You, You are worthy of the same Honor.

It is an honor to stand in the presence of those who wear the uniform. Too bad the 'commander in chief' does not understand that honor or the honor of his role...

Thanks for that. I am not an American, but was a soldier once. In our country the youth do not do military duty and it shows!

Semper Fi to that older gentleman. I did two tours of duty in Viet with the 5th Marines and I remember the less than enthusiastic welcome I received coming home from the young hippie types who probably now run the NY Times, network news and the Democratic Party.
