I wasn't born in the USA but I live in the USA and for me having somewhat of an outside perspective I think these are the real patriots. Often now in days you see folks spewing hate and other nasty things and then they hide behind patriotism. Patriotism isn't hate for others but love for your country and your people. Thumbs up for this video!
My future husband is a United States Marine. He is just an amazing man. I have incredible respect for our service men and women. Army . Marines. Air Force. Navy. ♡
cannot imagine how proud you are of Him...Col. Davis seemed like a class act..and there was evident camaraderie among these fine soldiers...is there a time limit or term in the Old Guard?..and what was the medal/award given to him? i am sure he will have a long and distinguished career..as parents it is obvious you did a great job with raising this young man...
He received the Army Commendation Medal. At any rank, its a significant award, at his rank it means he was a really good soldier. Most of the time, a soldier at his rank gets an achievement medal for a tour. The commendation medal is a step up from that and probably the highest award they could reasonably give him for that billet. Thats a tough gig though so it may be common. Congratulations from Oklahoma and thank you for making us proud.
Well I am not so sure of that. Candy is really common. I would bet almost every single person has, at one time or another, received some candy. It's common to see bowls of candy at the desk of middle aged ladies in office buildings. I have never seen a bowl of ARCOMS that anyone could just pick up and pin on, and I would bet that only one person out of 200 that you meet on the street has at one time or another received an ARCOM. Moreover, its very common to see people who have eaten candy hundreds, if not thousands of times. I really doubt that there is anyone who has received a hundred ARCOMS, much less a thousand. Maybe a guy who has completed a 20 year career might have 10 or even 15 ARCOMS but that same guy has probably, in the same period of time, eaten 3 or 4 hundred pieces of candy. So you should probably re-think your opinion because I think you are way off here. Candy is far more ubiquitous than Army Commendation Medals.
I have been told "thank you for your service" so many times that I am hesitant to divulge that I am a veteran, anymore. It is as cliche as "thoughts and prayers". Something people say that has been said so many times that it has lost its original meaning.
Some of us know what it means and truly mean it when we say it. I have my freedom because of those who served, those who are serving, and those who will be serving. I for one appreciate that-and you.
@@P_RO_ Fair enough. Some of us (you) appreciate hearing "thank you for your service". Others of us (me) are sick and tired of hearing it. To each their own.
