Walter Arce is the co-owner, professional photographer and drone pilot and a proud Marine. This video was created to honor those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Thank you to the Salisbury Marine recruit office and the proud Marine that stepped up to create this tribute video.

Thank you for your services to all military around the World and for those who have died. Today is a day to honor those who have died in the past and now in the present. We pray for a better outcome for our future. God Bless all families today and the loved ones they have lost. We thank you Lord for those beautiful souls. That they will rest in peace because they have not been forgotten. They are still missed and they are still loved.

I served in the USMC 1964-1968. Those 4 years taught me more than any other 4 year period. As I look back 60 years later the benefits of that time, and being able to take advantage of the GI Bill completely changed my life. I am honored to have served.

Потери в Великой Отечественной войне - как безвозвратные, так и демографические потери[⇨] в результате данного военного конфликта. Согласно современным данным, демографические потери СССР составили 25-27 млн человек[⇨]. По официальной версии ВС РФ[прим. 1], безвозвратные военные потери СССР составляют 11 444 100 человек, из них погибло военнослужащих - 8 668 400 человек (6 818 300 солдат погибло в боях, госпиталях и при прочих происшествиях, а 1 850 100 человек не вернулось из плена)[⇨], потери гражданского населения в зоне оккупации - 13 684 700 человек (из них: преднамеренно истреблено - 7 420 400 человек, погибло на принудительных работах в Германии - 2 164 300 человек, погибло от голода, болезней и отсутствия медицинской помощи - 4 100 000 человек)[прим. 2][1][⇨]. В 2015 году Министерство обороны РФ объявило следующие данные: безвозвратные военные потери - почти 12 млн человек, общие людские потери страны (СССР) - военнослужащих и гражданского населения - 26,6 млн человек[2]. Материальные потери СССР составили около 30 % всего национального богатства[⇨].

It is sobering to understand that 16.1 MILLION Americans served in WWII, and 671,000+ gave the ultimate scarifice for freedom, not counting the over one million that were wounded, all so this country can exist as it is today. We thank every one of them on this day, Memorial day May 27 2024, THANK YOU VETERANS and ALL that served !!!

This debt however we cannot repay but I am thankful you offered and in many cases gave your life that we may live in freedom to vote how we desire, to protest, to keep and bear arms, to protect ourselves, family and friends, to worship as we believe.

The Medal - Once when I was about 8 years old, I asked my Uncle Harold to show me his medals from “the war.” He looked at me kind of funny and then dug out a locked toolbox in his workshop. Inside were all kinds of medals on bright ribbons. “Uncle Harold, what are these for?” “Nephew, you remember the reverend talking about hell last Sunday?” “Yes sir.” “I got these here for going there and coming back.” He paused and then picked up a medal that hung on a long blue ribbon with white stars. “This your Uncle Jack got for going. . . he didn’t get to come back.” Years later I came to understand what he meant.
