always wanted to go up in a Spitfire or a Mustang and love the Air Force hymn, but salute all of you who served anywhere. from the sis of a late Army vet
You couldn't ask for a better or more patriotic American to lead this outstanding event than Gary Sinise, a great actor, a great advocate for our troops past and present and a Real American!!!!
God bless this country.get rid of that idiot in the white house please put Mr TRUMP back where he belongs make America great again thank u from a U S A F VIETNAM AIR RESCUE 38TH A R R S DET 11 ALSO a retired fire fighter God bless this wonderful nation
It's my sincere hope that, you, General Martin Dempsey, read this post. This is also meant for the public at large: it was our honor and privilege to serve you and we, those who have served, say that your 'thanks' means a lot to us, and goes quite a long way with us. Semper Fortis, Semper Fidelis, Semper Paratus, etc., and, so forth. God bless you all.
I can't stop saying this but thank you for your service I am so proud of all of you I don't know you but thank you and may God bless and keep you all safe and come home soon
I'm pretty sure that right at 2:48, when they sing "...give 'er the gun!" the woman standing and clapping is Colonel Nicole Malachowski, the first woman Thunderbird pilot. If I'm wrong, I think I'm close. She is wearing an Air Force T-Shirt.
I love this , Gary Senese I thank you and all the soldiers , sailors and airmen and women who are and have served our country in peacetime and in the wars we have been in ! Thank all of you and God bless America !
I look forward to this day just like Christmas. I'm young but our armed forces can't be thanked enough. Thank you everyone for your service. GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
It's always good to catch the Armed Forces medley on Memorial Day. Where once it was expected that son would follow dad into the service of his choice after high school, today damn few of our youth feel compelled to surrender a few or so years to give back to the country, where so many opportunities are open to them. The remaining youth need to be reminded that there are forces out there who'd destroy their freedom in a heart beat. However, young men and women across the land stepped up, chose to wear the uniform and act as a shield against our foes. As Winston Churchill said of the airmen who defeated the Luftwaffe, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
I totally agree. I plan on following in my dad's footsteps by serving this great country by commissioning into the Air Force in two years. While today's youth are more "entitled", there are still some good ones out there.
Couldn't agree more !!! I ship out for Army basic training next week and I wish that all of our youth would be more willing to serve their country ! Heck if only we had mandatory service now that would benefit everyone !!!
Two comments. First, the draft was a casualty of the Vietnam War. Second, too many bases have closed and too many weapons/weapons systems cost too much for the US to have compulsory service.
Wonderful introduction by Gary Sinise, and great singing of the services' songs, from an Air Force veteran who served on active duty from 1979 to 1999.
Brian Liu, God bless you Mr. Liu, it has been my honor to serve the greatest nation on earth! AMERICA, please enjoy your freedom and God bless you and your family always! OOHRAH
Let us never forget that among the scores of streamers adorning The Battle Standard Of The US Army is one emblazoned "Montelimar" and and with the name "Ribbeauville" which were earned with the courage and blood of the officers and men of Third Battalion, 143rd Infantry....
I'm proud to say I'm a veteran. March 12 1979 to October 1 1997. Mos 19 delta , 19 kilo, 64 charlie. Unfortunately I was critically injured in a non service related accident in 1995 that eventually caused me early retirement medical. God bless our military
shighberg,what's wrong with these marines and their fanboys like you? Always with this arrogant, we're better than anyone else attitude. Show some respect for all branches of the military serving for a common cause.
Lyrics For Taps - Day is done, gone the sun, from the Lakes 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."
LYRICS FOR TAPS DAY IS DONE GONE THE SUN FROM THE LAKES FROM THE HILLS THE SKY ALL IS WELL SAFELY REST GOD IS NIGH FADING LIGHT DIMS THE SIGNT AND A STAR GEMS THE SKY GLEAMING BRIGHT
An officer in the northern army near the end of the civil war had just gone thru horrific battle when he heard a wounded man in the distance groaning from his wounds. He crawled out to give side to find the wounded man was his own son who had been living in South studying piano. He had enlisted in the confederate army. The officer pulled his son to safety but his son died from his wounds. In his pocket of his uniform they found a paper on which the son had composed the song we call Taps. He got permission to give his son a military burial. Now you know the story of "Taps".
