That is a beautiful video. Why have so many in America forgotten the cost of Freedom?

I agree with Trey. Is there nothing we can do as individuals or collectively that will bring back some pride to our country? Great post and positive look at why we can openly discuss everything.

Jan - Great video. It is easy to forget the cost of something if you aren't the one paying for it. As individuals, we can only set examples, with our pride. Some will learn and follow. Others, well, they will just continue to let other people pay.

Trey: This video makes me cry... it is beautiful. I don't have an answer to your question. My only opinion is that we have gotten too complacent.

Wayne: We can only do the best we can as individuals; hopefully, our contributions individually can make some difference.

Mike: I greatly admire and appreciate our soldiers. You're right, it's easy to forget the cost that's been paid for our freedom. Thanks!
