God bless them all...

I make a point, no matter where I am or what I am doing, to walk up to a person in uniform and thank them for serving. ALWAYS. I started it about 10 years ago, I was at Mc Donalds on a Saturday morning. There was a young couple and the gentleman was in uniform, they were preparing to eat and they stopped to pray first. I walked over after they were finished praying, I excused my intrusion in their breakfast and thanked him for serving... I shook his hand and before I could walk away he stood and saluted me... I have never served, I was in awe... all I could do was return the salute and cry...yes, I am crying right now. I can't tell that story and not cry.

I do that too, they are always thankful and unfortunately many times surprised. My Dad and Father-in-law fought in WWII, one was 15. Thanks to all of them!

Man this vid just made me realize how lucky we are to live in a country so free and yet so powerful. That's because of these brave men and women of this country that fought and died for the ground we walk on. My heart goes out to the resting soldiers and I am forever grateful for the men and women still living from the WWII era.....

The crowd in the trailer was filmed in Miller Park Stadium Milwaukee, WI.

My grandfather was a Marine in WWII in the Pacific theatre. He only started talking about the war the last few years of his life.

His unit was responsible for running communication lines in front of the advance so he was in enemy territory most of the time they were on land.

When he started talking about his experiences he told me about the time he was chosen for a run that was considered a suicide mission. As he volunteered at an older age and had a new wife and with a new baby, his unit conspired and locked him in a closet while a different soldier with no family took his place. He beat on the door and screamed but no one would let him out. That another soldier died for him haunted him the rest of his life.

I was so happy he shared some stories before he died. Wish he had shared more. I miss him… :(
