I have read these stories before and the first one requires the tissue alert for people like me. But then so do the emails and letters that I get from the guys serving over there. This story touches my heart but does not surprise me. The very best we have to offer as ambassadors to the world are serving in the United States Military. My Thanks to all of you. And I second CommanderMoms sentiments on the woman in the pink car, kudos and thanks to the General. Thanks M for sharing!!

We in America should always stop and thank God that we live in such a wonderful free country when we hear the national anthem or anytime for that matter. We should all thank our military for fighting to make that freedom a reality! Thank You to you and to all of our military for all that you do for our freedom!!!! God Bless America!!!!! Cpl M,

That's one thing I miss about going to the movies on base - the National Anthem playing before any previews and the main feature, and seeing all the soldiers standing at attention. Me being the civilian/military dependent, I would stand with hand over heart. I'm out at baseball games a lot over the summer. They always have the National Anthem before the first pitch of the game. Although ticket takers stop taking tickets and concessions stop selling during this time, it disappoints me greatly when I see fans just going about their business...

Many may know that I truly love my country more than I can ever say or show. I too bleed deep shades of red, white and blue!! I also love wearing this uniform as a Soldier in the United States Army. However, lately I've been questioning whether or not I still feel that way. I've questioned my service and my purpose for doing it. I've often wondered if I'd be better off doing something else and I've outlived my usefulness. You reminded me what I'm doing and why. Thank you so much. CPL M, thank you so much for that story.
