  1. Wonderful. My Daddy died on Memorial Day May 31, 2005. He was a Navy Veteran of WWII. He was buried in a new Veterans Cemetary that looked just like Arlington. He was the 9th Veteran to be intered there. This weekend is so Special to me. I feel so much for these children. I got to grow up with my Dad and it was everything. This Camp if a WONDER and so NECESSARY

  2. This was a beautiful broadcast. So moving. I loved Taps across America. My favorite was the Billie Pierce story. It reminds me of My Parents life long love story. My Dad was in WWII as well, in the Navy. Taps was played at My Father's Veterans Cemetary Burial. A beautiful song.
    It means America.

  3. Wow, absolutely remember those bracelets. Mine broke in half at some point along the indentations created by the lettering. I'm sure I never threw it away, the pieces are probably in a trunk in the back of the closet. Thank you for the story, perhaps I can find the bracelet and trace the name. I hope he came home. 🗽

  4. Who were they in war with considering what they did to other people for no reasons? They come home with PTSD but indeed the condition reflected crimes they committed against innocent children,women, senior citizens and much more. I no longer think of them as heroes. Imagine in 2023 the amount injustice done to certain types of people because of how god chose to create them? SHAME on us.

  7. You can show them respect by being kind to your neighbors. Respecting the Constitution of the United States. Following the laws of the United States of America. Thank you. What they did must never be forgotten .

  8. I remember my other Grandpa which is a WWII veteran from USAFFE. He is the husband of my maternal Grandmother's cousin and he is nice and he is so humble that he only wanted to be buried in a simple century back home.

  9. So sad. Just like the fact that most of his family is morbidly obese. How times have changed since he went to Vietnam. Back then gross obesity in America was rare. Not anymore! Big food makes us sick. Big Pharma “treats,” but does not cure our sickness. They fatten us up and profit off our obesity all the way to the grave.

  10. My Dad passed away one week before Memorial Day 1971❤ I still miss him but I know we’re going to be together one day forever! I AM SO PROUD OF HIM AND I PROMISED I WOULD DO EVERYTHING I COULD TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT MY HUSBAND & OUR CHILDREN WOULD BE TOLD EVERYTHING ABOUT WHAT AN AMAZING MAN HE WAS & HOW PROUD HE WOULD HAVE BEEN OF ALL OF THEM!! 😢❤
