flyfishfairwx,
I've seen the video of this before and the lump in my throat remains. Yes, you deserve to be PROUD of these HEROES. AND I assure you , we as Americans are NO LESS proud of them.

Absolutely beautiful and breath-taking. We thank you for sharing it with us - I'm glad to see that kind of patriotism is still alive and well somewhere - we had it here in the US for a while after 9/11, but it seems to have gotten lost in the big "ME" generation or culture. So sad.

As an American Vet, I am very proud of our neighbors to the north for their display of love & support for their Heroes.
I salute not only your Heroes, but the Canadian Patriots who support them.
God Bless,
Mike

As a former paratrooper who's son just finished his second tour in Iraq, salute to the brave willing to sacrifice all. While we may not agree on cause or purpose we can all agree that, in reality, it comes down to the person in the next fox hole.

Several Canadians fought with us in Nam. They were good guys, good soldiers, and brave men.

WRONG! Dee your wrong on this one.
Patriotism still runs from sea to sea in our beloved America...


As for Canada, you bet I am very proud of her heros as well...

Be safe!

Steve,

I will have to agree there are still plenty of patriotic young people out there. We have to remember that every man and women in uniform is a volunteer, not draftees. WHere patriotism has hit the skid is in the main stream press and telecommunication industries. Although it seems from time to time they get the message that we still love our country and respect the people who sacrificed to allow us access to our God given rights.

This is a cut and paste from an email from my old boss, who was a friend before he was my boss. The ding in the leg was a direct hit through the calf that resulted in the loss of a large chunk of muscle. The link is worth viewing.

================================================== =========================
Got this from General Bob Stewart who I was flying the helicopter with in RVN back in 1966 when I got dinged in the leg. Bob was a 1st Lt at the time and went on to become an astronaut and flew quite a few missions in our space program. The note below is from Bob. This song pretty much exemplifies what transpired back during that time.


Hi Everyone,


I went to a reunion of my RVN Aviation Battalion last week. One of the young aviators, a combat veteran of Iraq himself, and a member of the current 13th Aviation Bde., Wrote this song. He finished it the night before he performed it for us the first public performance. I really appreciated this song because of who wrote it as well as what it says. Give a listen.
